Speaker 3 (00:40):
Always did you ever get tired of it?
Speaker 6 (00:42):
Nah?
Speaker 7 (00:43):
I love that, you know. I love going on after
some people. I gotta make my statement. It's still the same.
Ain't nothing make it last whatever, baby.
Speaker 8 (00:51):
But your music has last through so many different generations
like it, don't even matter what crowd, keep sweat, pop
up out.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
They know the word.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh my god, Oh that's dope.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
So what does it matter who closes out a show
like that?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Do you care?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I mean, because you got the hits, you got the legacy,
do you care where you?
Speaker 7 (01:22):
I really don't care for nobody really wants to go
on after me, you know what I'm saying. But I
don't really care because the sweet spot normally is nine
thirty ten o'clock at the show.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
That's the sweet spot.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
So you know, sometimes people cry about you know, but
nowadays when people come to a showy they're more concerned
about what kind of show you put on. They don't
really care who head and line it because you know,
it's like, yeah, as long as you rock the joint,
you know they gonna talk about you.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
That's what I do. I say, you want to close?
He closed? I don't care who put the gether of
the lineup.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
Well, you know, you can't get me on my show
unless than I agree to it. I gotta agreed to it.
So you know, any any deals I do, like, you
gotta tell me who was on the show before I
agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Who all over there. Who who.
Speaker 9 (02:05):
Are you gonna see you and cut close on the
stage together myself.
Speaker 10 (02:09):
Yeah, this is crazy, Joe Drew Hill. Genuine you're gonna
try to dance because you got to. You gotta compete dance.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I mean I don't need to dance.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I got I got dancers my day, I got eight
twelve dancers. I don't need to dance.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
I got You know, when people talk about R and
B keeps like your name is like foundational when it
comes to R and B. At what point did you
realize you weren't just making songs, you were like shaping
the whole sound.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I mean when I came in, I knew I could
do up, temple and slow and they all had the
same effects. So uh like there's nothing I can you know,
like I do affle, bead, R and B slow, fast,
it doesn't matter. So I mean I knew at that point,
once I knew I could do whatever, you know, I
knew I would. I would captivate you know that R
(03:04):
and B audience because of the fact, you know everybody
in the R and B game can't do everything. Well,
you sound crazy if you're doing the slow So if
feel ballad ded, you sound crazy trying to do an
up temple joint.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It don't work for everybody.
Speaker 9 (03:15):
How do you feel when, like some of your songs
like I know I won't be here for long, it's
like the TikTok and even on Instagram, like it's like
the go to for a lot of the videos that
people use for the means when that happens, like as
an artist, like when you're watching it, how do you
feel when you see people using your sounds across TikTok
and Instagram?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Like, all these years later, I feel.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Good about it because I felt like I did what
I needed to do. I accomplished what I needed to accomplish.
I made an effect on the whole generation, you know,
So I feel like, you know, it makes me feel good.
It makes me feel proud about Yo, I created this
because you know, I write and produce all my joints. So,
you know, me writing and producing my joints and people
still living it to this day makes me feel like, Yo,
(03:57):
I am that dude.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I saw you post.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Can somebody please explain to me how Mary go Around
ended up on Roadblock?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Did you know because you wasn't on everywhere?
Speaker 6 (04:09):
No. I looked at that joint. I was saying, what
the hell is this?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I don't I don't even know.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Man, It's just I look at Instagram and and and
Facebook and YouTube, and like, what.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
The hell is this?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
How did you hear you was on roadblocks?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I just happened to look at see it happened.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Just happened to be some some chickouse. I got a
look roadblocks in my life.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
I'm on roadblocks and whatever blocks from my block.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
It is interesting, know how you got a whole generation
that's rediscovering like real grown R and B. So so,
so what do you think like modern R and B
is getting right? And what do you think that they're
missing that they keep coming back to the old G stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Well, like I had a conversation with Pleasure and all,
some of them young brothers, and I said, man, y'all,
y'all keep saying R and B is dead. Y'all killed
arm B because y'all want to curse the songs. Y'all
want to act like rm B is a rap record.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
I mean, rm B is full player R and B
is You know, y'all took the whole four play game
out there rap if you cursing and you're trying to
make up with your girl or whatever, and you're playing
R and B song you curse it.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
How you're gonna make up? Y'all have an August? So
now that record arguing with y'all to join the argument.
You know what I'm saying. So I'm saying, so yo,
that's not what rm B was about.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
That's what rm B is. The mell ship out melon.
You know what I'm saying, For y'all to sit down,
talk it out, talk it out, talk it out, y'all.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Don't kill the game.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
So that's why they keep sampling my ship because they like, oh,
make it last.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Who could lay you like me?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Nobody? You know you got twisted girl. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I said, that's what everybody's going back to. That's why
every sample in my songs.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I got into an argument with this guy in Starbucks yesterday,
right two days ago. He works there, and he was
talking about hip hop and R and B and he
was saying that, you know, people are making R and
B hip hop and I'm like, that's not true. I'm like,
there are some R and B artists out of hip hop,
like Mary J.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Blige, I say, Chris Brown.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
But I said, there are are and B artists that
are not hip hop, and I'm like, like, Keith Sweat
is an R and B artist. So do you think
that when you talk about the cursed in the music?
Do you think there's different levels of doing it, different
ways of doing it? Like the hip hop version to
R and B and then just R and.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
B, when back in the day, R and B was
just R and B.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Even when Mary did it back in the day, she
still did it R and B, you know, I mean?
And so I think what sometimes we as R and
B artists have a tendency to do is we try
to be we create ourselves, and we know follow the
trend of what everybody else is doing, which doesn't work
(07:02):
for everybody, and it shouldn't work for everybody. I'm not
trying to follow what everybody else is doing. That's why
I'm in this lane by myself, or certain lanes by myself,
because I don't care what he doing on the right
or he doing on the left.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
That doesn't make your pioneer following somebody else. I don't
want to follow you. I don't want to follow you.
This is what I do because for so long people
have talked shit about he sweat, but he don't do this,
he don't do that, he don't do that. So now
my point is I'm just laughing thirty our years later
and say, y'all thought I couldn't do this, and I did.
I didn't do that because I didn't want to do this.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
You couldn't do to dance. That's it. That's the only
I heard.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I could dance. You've seen me on something to go
back and look at some of the.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Now but you know, like for instance, like I never
won a bet Award. I never want to Grammy after grant,
you know what I'm saying. But when I get on stage,
I always say, y'all of my Grammys could look you
know everybody that has done that, they're not even still relevant.
You know, I'm still headlining and I'm still doing what
(08:05):
I do, so I'm still able to do tours and
you know, do six seven thousand or more people. So
you know, Africa been trying to get me over there
for the longest. You know what I'm saying. They trying
to go up on the money more and more.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Please me. Stee Way coming to see me. I've been
to Africa. I've been all over.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
I've been a Kate Town, derb and you know, Johannesburg,
NIGERI I've been to Africa before. But you know, I mean,
you know last time when the Africa was funny because
they got me because you know, he said, you're playing
in Africa.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I said, okay, so I'm in Africa right.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
We're in the car driving, so I said, well the sugar,
I said, oh man, they having a game over there.
It's packed out as a soccer stadium. He said, my brother,
that's where you beformed me tonight. I said, hold, look,
wait a minute, let me get this person on the phone.
You said them, he said, it sold out soccer stadium,
standing room only. Man, I called back to America, I said, man,
(09:10):
if you don't put some more money in mind, I'm
coming home. So that's the last time I've been South
Africa when it was soccer stadium, you know I did.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It was packed out. It was damn man.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And so so you thought she was doing a smaller venue.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Oh my god, yes I did. And then I seen
I said, mante the game there.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
No, that's what you so. So now they're getting it
all together. So you know, you know, they sent me
some stuff. They want me going to Shambia, you know
what I'm or. You know, they're trying to put the
whole thing together. But I said before I go, I
want to make.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Sure that's what stadiums.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You doing at the stadiums, and the money got to
be what it got to be. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Do you think pain is necessary to make great? R?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
And B or can enjoy be just as powerful? And
the love song?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I've never been happy making the love song? No, No,
I mean you know, like my best songs came from
being hurt.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Make it last Forever.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
That first album was a hurt, was all pain and
nobody was I think it was all pain. You know,
like we all go through things in our life, you
know what I'm saying. And some people you know, and
it doesn't necessarily a female. You know what I'm saying.
Things hit you at a you know where you least suspected.
You know, we could be like one day and be
like going on the next you know what I'm saying.
(10:33):
So you know that's when I think I get my
best ideas when I run in the studio after you know,
I'm going through something because that's like, for me therapeutic.
I can write songs and it's there, very therapeutic for me,
and I'm like, oh my god, because I've written songs
in two hours, three songs and two hours and they
(10:53):
were hit you know, and it was therapeutic for me.
It was like me, you know, getting counseling. You know
what I'm saying, that type of stuf.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
That's interesting, you said, because a lot of your records
do feel like conversations people were afraid to have in
real life.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So you are writing from personal.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Experience, right, definitely.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
I don't know if you want to share. But during
to make It Last for every time, what was it
that you were exploring?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
This girl cheated on me so ahead, So I was like, yo,
so I went through a whole It was like what
I really went through. Something just ain't right was really
something just ain't right. Make it last was really make
it last. Don't stop your lover was really don't stop
your How deep is your love?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Was really? Yo? You don't really love me like you
say you love me? Yeah, so make it last forever?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
She cheated on you with another celebrity a ball.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Player, just a regular game on me.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
She came, she came to her school reunion, saying, got
with one of whole You know, actually I was in
New York. She came to Atlanta and where out there?
And then her girlfriend told Anna.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Da damn, you get with the girl.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
A girlfriend?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Man, I didn't want a girlfriend us a snitch.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But that's how you felt for you want happy that
the girl came to you and told.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You what was up that ship? Now that shit made
me hurt, mold Nick.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
So you rather be cheated on in peace you might
not even know about.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
I want to know what I don't want to know.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
You know, it's kind of like you want to know,
but you said some things are better said on said.
You know what I'm saying. You know how that is.
You want to know what you don't want to know?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
So it's like I'm like, damn, do I really want
to know? Because some things that hit you harder knowing
getting that confirmation something.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
You would always had that little bitting you saying, well
maybe that didn't have it, you know, but what you
know it did happen.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You'll be on the whole nother level.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Man, So you thought she was cheating like you already.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Had, I added in my mind, but she put that
gave you that clarity, and I was like, damn, girl,
you will go.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Back to check out she's doing. But like, I hope
she's doing bad now you check on Facebook.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I'm a funny.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
I want everybody cheating on me to do bad.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Anybody. Now that's the that's the that's people mentality.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Because if you if they do they cheated on you,
and they and they and you're doing good, they hate that.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
That's the wor they look at you. Oh god, wrong man,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
But if you're doing bad, they'd be I thank god
I left that one so you be warning.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
It's kind of like.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
That's it's selfish, but it's real. And if somebody say
that's not true, they lying. I don't care what nobody said.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know what interrected keeping.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
People would think that you are player and you out
here sleeping with a bunch of girl friends and stuff,
but you seem like.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You was a one woman.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Man, look at.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
You, what's that You were faithful? Now, whole situation before
you find out you cheated.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I think I was I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
I think I was.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
She wasn't cheating back.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
No, no, no, I think because I was into it.
You know what I'm saying. If I'm into somebody, I
ain't trying to mess it up, mess it up.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
But if I ain't really into you, because you know,
sometimes you think you into somebody, you ain't into somebody,
think you see something else walking.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
I guess I wasn't into but in my eyes can't
be open. But so I'm funny, man, because you know,
you know the one. If I'm into you, I'm into you.
But if you if I if I see the slightest
little bit of you know, something that you ain't doing, man,
I'm then then I'm like that. Right now, I'm going
(14:45):
through that ship. You know what I mean. I'm going
through that. They think they slick, but they ain't slicking.
I'm putting them out there for you.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
I was okay, they think they're doing what's happening.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yo. You know.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
When you when you when you when you're doing wrote
songs about bangs, when you're on the experience thing, you know,
when somebody being select You know what I'm saying, when
somebody doing banging somebody else too, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
And they, you know, they have a tendency to play that,
oh I'm a good girl role. Don't play that like Yo,
my attitude is this right?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Anybody right? And this is the truth.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
If you want to open a relationship, just say, yo,
I wanna do my thing, You do your thing with me,
back together, be together.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
You know, you take care of things with me when
I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
And if you want to be with the next man,
let him do what he do he with you, because
if that's what you want, there's nothing wrong with that,
because now you've been because now now that you don't
want to play with people feelings and emotions. It's a
dangerous game out here when you're playing with people feelings
and emotions. So it's like I tell people all day long,
don't you know? You know that's not a toy with
(16:01):
You know what I'm saying, Because if you ever been hurt,
that joint ain't no joke for real. And some people
can't handle pain, that kind of pain, I can handle it.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
You know what I'm saying. Because I go in the
students start singing. You know what I'm saying. Everybody can.
It's so it's like it's better for people to say, yo,
this is what I want to do.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You do you?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
When you do you, I do me, and then when
we want to be together, we do it.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yeah, but you cannot keep make somebody or you can't
ask somebody do certain things that you're only your real
significant other should do and playing games with them that
is not some of the toy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And you gotta make a real commitment.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Are you in a relationship right now? Are you in
a relationship right now?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Sometimes I think I am? Sometimes, Man, you gotta stop
with this.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
How does she know when she's playing games? If like
what are y'all y'all have like boundaries or like a
certain situation set up, Like there's like like are you exclusive?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Like what is she playing?
Speaker 9 (16:57):
You're supposed to be You are supposed to exclusive, right
but you ain't.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Keith, don't talk. You're ready to go back and tell
a girl.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Don't telling.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I'm just trying to figure it out because I just
want to know where you're coming from.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Okay, that you got it? You know? Okay? Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
He brom What the closest you think you've ever been
to getting married.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I've been married before. You're married a long time ago.
Don't bring it up though.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Damn whatever, people you are great, move on to another.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Didn't last like that?
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Who do you listen to when you're going through a heartbreak?
People listen to your music when they sweat you Just
go in there and write something.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
You think I'm playing, No, I'm not playing. I don't
want to hear nobody else singing to me when I'm
going to a heartbreak. I want to hear me sing
to me. Say yo, this is how you figure your situation.
I promise you I'm not listening nobody else. I'm going
to heartbreak because I've written too many songs to heal myself.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
You know what I'm saying. I go back and listen,
you know, because I've.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Been for Drew Hill, Ron Osley and Mature everybody right,
so I can listen to some of them songs.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Say, Okay, this is because, like I said, every time
I've been through a situation, I've been able to write.
And so I can go to maybe the second third
album and listen to something that be like damn that
and it might heal man feel good, you know, I
feel good about it, But no LSG album anything.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Sothing like that.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
You know, are you the type of person after a heartbreak?
Like if the person breaks your heart, are you willing
to work it out and move forward or you just
completely off the person after that and you're moving on
to something. No.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
I don't like starting over. I'm a person that don't like.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I like to try to fix what's broke, because you know,
I just feel like if you when you get into
a new situation, it's still gonna be something that's you
have to work through and fix, and then you're gonna
have the same problem. So my ad a lot of
times you're gonna when you have the same problems. So
my attitude is to try to fix what's broken because
(19:05):
you know that person someone and that person knows you somewhat,
So do what you gotta do to fix that if
you think you can trust that person, that you feel
that person can trust you, or you feel you can
get to a middle point where y'all both agree. That's
my point, because going to something else is like, oh,
I got to meet the family, Mambers I gotta meet.
It's just that whole process, and it takes a long time,
(19:26):
and then you'd be like, you're so consumed with a
bunch of difference, because it's always gonna be somebody who
has the what's.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
The next set of problems? It's gonna be that.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
And anybody that says it's not it's not true because
I've experienced that. Okay, I gotta deal with this, this
one not dealt with and this is this situation, and
now I gotta deal with this in their situation, and
so it's always gonna be something else.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
But the current situation.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Now, why a you't trying to fix that?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I don't say I ain't tried. They might. They might
think they still slick, you know what I'm saying. So
you know, watch not after she watched this, she gonna know. No,
son's son just ain't right.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Is another celebrity that you'redating. Do you stick to people
who are like non celebrity?
Speaker 6 (20:06):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I don't do the celebrity dating thing. I just don't.
I mean, because it's I don't have.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
You tried before you ever?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Well when I got with him, they wasn't celebrity. I don't.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I just don't. I like two people be private, but
not be private, you know what I mean? If you
don't want to take a picture with me, that means you're.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Doing something wrong. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
You know, but I don't do the dating celebrity thing.
I've always been like that.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I don't. It's just something about me.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
I don't want to do that. When you say not
wanting to take a picture with you, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I mean, you know where most people, you know how
people out and if somebody don't want to be seen,
take a picture with you.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
And it's not like some young girls on vacation with
the sugar daddy.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I don't start that bullshitt. You want to be in
the video you had new from that, you know what
I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Your right?
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Don't just take the picture the food and crop my
head out.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
But I mean not that you're a sugar daddy, but
you are Keith Sweat. So it's like I would think
that you wouldn't want to be in the photo.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
But if I'm not, if that's the one, I.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Mean you sugar Zaddy, like you know, don't there y'all
go yo, get them some water.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
But can the R and B singer have a night off.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
What I mean by that is you guys sing to
these these ladies and you guys, these ladies desire you
when you'll get into the bedroom. Y'all can't have a
night off because it's.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Over, because you can't have it because you are R
and b s.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
What you're trying to say, like you gotta put it down?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Yeah, like if you if you don't, you always it's
the pressure there for you.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Ain't no pressure for me, man, you're talking about for you,
your goddamn you ain't lady gave you some chicken wings
and set you on your way down.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Love.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Let me ask you something. You you're not an armed
you are not R and b Art, but you're celebrity,
so they play pressure for you.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
It's my wife.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Oh bro, they're still pressure on my wife or something.
Well that ain't that.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm glad you.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Book he talks about how he didn't make his wife
all gat him for teen years.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Get the forgot his.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
We made we were fifteen and sixteen.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Was broun with the joint? Was wround with the joint?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Wasn't you was wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
With yant work?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Think sex?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was point?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
You just gonna bank bank bank bank bank I was
sixteen years old, fifteen, he and I made it come
from my mouth, just not for.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The sock.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
It wasn't working that continue a decade.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
To listen anything you understand now about relationships that you
wish you knew when you was writing them Heartbreak Records.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Nah, I think I understand everything. I understood stuff back then.
But you know, like it's always wishful thinking. You know,
you know what you know, but you know, we just
have wishful thinking. We hope that when we get into
something that's gonna be you know, perfect, but that ain't
nothing perfect, So you know what I'm saying. So the
things I felt that it could be ends up being
that way, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
So we all have wishful thinking.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
We all want certain things to be amazing and and
and great. That's why I said make it last forever,
because that's wishful thinking. That's what make it last forever
was about wishful thinking. We want everything to last forever.
But though it's just not that way, you know what
I'm saying, Things just gonna you know, you're gonna have
bumps in the road, and anything you do in life
(24:17):
there's gonna be some bumps.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
In the road.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
I like what you was explaining earlier though, because you
were kind of explaining how to make it last forever,
meaning that when you go through those bumps in the road,
that don't mean give up, that don't mean quit if
you really love this person, like listen right, you know
what I'm saying that you not, It doesn't make you
a sucker when you when you love someone on on on,
neither the win or the woman that'll make you whack
(24:40):
for trying to fix what you what you love or
you know what I'm saying that I think it's whack
if you walk away from something and you love it,
because sometimes people just try to be hard.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Oh I don't need you, I don't want you. I
can go find me something else, somewhere else.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And you know, you at that point, you're fooling yourself
because you're gonna run and like I said, you're gonna
run into the same baggage somewhere else. So you know
that's why I said, I hate to start all over
because it's like you gotta date again, you gotta start
just doing all the and sometimes you know, when we
get older, we just be like, man, I ain't trying
(25:16):
to do all that. I mean, as you get older,
you ain't trying to do all the same hit you
was doing before. I don't want to do all that, man,
I'm not doing all that, So you try to balance
everything else else because like for me, I'm too busy
working on too many other things to keep like like,
y'all right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
We all business people were trying to grow.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
No matter what we do, We're trying to grow and
keep growing and keep moving right, and we ain't got
time for the bullshit. So that's what you're bringing to me.
Just stay where you at, Let me stay where I'm at.
If you want to work things out, let's come on,
work things out and help me and help me create me,
and let me help you create you, and let's build together.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
That's my whole point in life.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Is anything you're still trying to prove right you mentioned
you didn't get it be to your ward? No, Grammy,
is there anything that you want or you're just right now?
It's all like I'm just having a good time before.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Right now, I'm just God is good and I'm just
happy that I've Like like when I grew, I grew
up in the Grand you know, and I grew up
in the projects Hall on Grand Product on the twenty
fifth street.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
More onto I namn.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
So that like for me to even be where I'm
somewhere where I never thought I would ever be, never
had an idea, you know, all my dreams from me
walking down the street watching old Jay's on the you know,
at the parlor, on the parlor night the Marquis, all
the people Teddy saying, damn, maybe one day I'll be there.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
And to have accomplished that and more than ever I
thought I would ever accomplished, you know, to me, you know,
I've gotten my heart's desire, and you know what I'm saying,
I got more than what because there's a lot of
people that will never ever get their heart desire, things
they dreaming about their life. So I think we're blessed,
(27:02):
you know, for all those that have gotten certain things
in life. We're definitely blessed to have been able to
get build and get what a lot of things out
of life that most people will never get.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, but you know, I think about like a bt
on a Teddy.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Riley, like that was maybe ten years ago, now right,
they got to do that for you because if you
want to do a new Jack Swing tribute, definitely what.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Because you know I don't want it if I haven't
got listen, I'm funny.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Yeah, y'all gotta understand how funny I am.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
My attitude in life is give it to me when
I deserve it.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Hold up, Hold up, hold hold up, hold on.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
This is I've had more hazards further of all, if
you don't give it to me when after that, like
I told my daughter, if God forbid, I'll leave here
today tomorrow, you bet not take no award they try
to give you now because you know, like my attitude
is this right, you know, don't try to give me
my fliers when I'm not here. And then like I
be seeing them do that to people, and I'm like, yo,
(28:02):
you never really acknowledged them like that when they was
head Come on, I don't want that bullshit.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
It's like I'm the man that I am. You know,
I'll teach you my kids to be the same way.
You know, be proud men, don't be take a hand out.
You know what I'm saying, Don't give it to me
because now you want to make this big thing and
you want people to come and acknowledge it. Man, that's
for the networks and the fuck that shit.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I know, and that's not me.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
But you don't think that it adds, like just education
around your legacy, because there are a lot of people
who don't know your role in the New Jackson.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
In my own documentary and put my own shit out
and they know you're fluid though I don't need to do,
you know, because I can. I got my money to
do my own doc eight nine ten episodes if I
want to do it, put it all together, and that's
what I do now, you know what, I'm saying that
(28:56):
you won't buy this and I own the car on it,
you know what, and saying that's how, that's how you
do things today. I'm not gonna do that. That's why
I never did Sung and none of the other stuff,
right because I'm not going to let you have my
thing and show it at any time you want to
show me.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
This is no. You can't do that to me.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
So I'll do mine, sell it to you, and then
I'll tell you when I want you to show that.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Then when I want you to stop show to tell
your story.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Yeah, because half the people, the stories that are told
are not real story, They're not true.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
They leave a lot of tape on the floor, and
we want to show the next what we want to show.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
What they want to show. You fabricate and I don't
want that. You know, you can't fabricate things, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I mean, it's just like everybody said the new jack
Swings started on my first album.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
No, it did not start on my first album.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
I was with Suitra Records, Mars Levy Adam Levey when
they had the Fat Boys.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I was producing the Sutra Records back in the day.
You know what I'm saying. I had got two records
on the end of at All.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
I wanted my baby my mind right, I was with
Tony Lopez.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
But Q, you know what I'm saying. Back in the
day on Hunt.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Sixty fifth Street and Woody Crest Avenue in the Bronx.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
You know what I'm saying. So my legacy extends the y'all,
y'all just know the make It Last for Ever party.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
For me hanging on ninety fifth Street and Columbus Avenue,
going to sell a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
You know what I'm saying, and all that type of stuff.
You know what I'm saying. It when't uh Erl Monroe
used to come.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
To Sickly fish Woody Crest Avenue to see me because
he had pretty pearl records all that type of stuff.
You know what I'm saying. People don't know about all
that stuff. So that was way before I wanna. So
that's what I'm saying. You know, It's like it didn't
start with people thinking. Don't Stop Your Love was my
first song. That's what I got my deal on don't
(30:45):
Stop your Love. It wasn't on I wanted. It was
on don't Stop your Love, So you know, and Benson
Davis gave me the deal with entertainment, and that's where
it all started.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
That's why I want to see your story told because
if you can't, I love Teddy, but Teddy can't all
the credit for creating New Jack Swing, not with ill
Keith sweat Well.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Teddy will tell everybody, and that's my man. Is that
what happened is when I got my deal, but don't
stop it up. I'm the one that went to Teddy
and told Teddy, y'all I need I got to deal
with the lecturer and I wanted you to come on
and work without me, because he was with this group
called Kids at Work, if you remember, and I was.
We would do the Chitlin circuit in New York. We
(31:24):
would do the Red Parrot mark for all them smallst parents.
I saw all them clubs in Harlem and that I
had a group called Jamila Kinky and uh the name
was in Kinky foss uh uh I just got paid
Mann Kent was in uh see because I wrote just
(31:48):
got paid with Teddy, you know what I'm saying. But
I never got credit for it, so you know, it's
just a whole other thing. You know what I'm saying,
because I'm the one that ran that. Johnny Chimis say yo,
because Jess got paid with was going my first album
and we missed the time frame of it because we
had to handle the credits in so it was sitting
with Teddy that whole time, and Johnny went over there
(32:11):
and recorded it and then you know, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
But that's that's hell.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
There there was there was some You applied a little
bit of pressure to Teddy for that too, when you
because you heard the record on the radio.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
So the story, now, I applied a little pressure to
Johnny kemp Uh, you know, god rest is soul. I
applied some pressure to that, and you know and Jane Griffin, Jane.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Griffin, that's what.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Look at his face, man.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So the record sounds just like you though.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
You can tell.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah, So you know that's where the pressure got. But
I just but I left it alone because you know,
it's just like because I you know, then it went
on for more. It just kept going going on. And
then because Let's Chill was supposed to be the song
I did. Then meet Teddy and butnar Bell wrote Let's
Chill Together, and that was was going to the That
was the song that I was supposed to do a
(33:03):
New Jack City, and you know I didn't. It didn't happen.
And you know that's how I ended up singing there
you go telling me know again, I would I be
singing there you go telling me no at the wedding thing.
And then because I had to have it, See the
song was supposed to be ready that next day.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I had to have it.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
For the wedding scene. Very bad people said, yo, we
you know, we gotta have a song. If you're gonna
be in the thing, you gotta have a song. So
I had to go and right there you go telling
me know again that same night before I shot that
scene in Branston at Grandstone. So that's where there you
go telling me no. Came in because I couldn't think
of nothing else. But there you go tell me no,
(33:40):
we're gonna get y'all at Wow. That's how that came about.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I was asking, so if bt the Grammy is any
of those organizations come out.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
I said, we want to do something.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
For you, You're gonna say no, Wow, Damn.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
I would.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
I would love.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Look where I'm at. I got my flowers. I'm well, I'm.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Like like like everybody, the thing is different everybody. You
know what I'm saying, That don't that's not gonna make
take my legacy away. Me not having that, that's not
gonna do nothing less for me. They ain't gonna they
ain't gonna give me no more money. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
So what is it gonna do is? Oh, it's just
now I don't care. Man. I used to care. It
used to borrow me. I'm gonna tell you the truth.
It used to bother me.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
It's just like when when you know they took the
what was it the American Music Award for me the
first time or something like that, and gave it to
George Michael or whatever for the Best Army Album, and
I got I was halfway out of my sleep best
I'm mean George, like I said, my samp myself. So
it's like, but but that was the only one that
(34:51):
really ever acknowledged me and gave me was American Music Award.
That was my first real big award, American Music Award.
So it's like, so when I got that, I'm like, yo, dag,
I ain't get a bat And I never got a
Soul Training ward when Don Conaius was with it.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
What never, that's crazy Paxicing Baker gave me.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
I never got a but Paxing Baker realized I never
got a Soul Train award and gave me a Lifetime
Achievement Award on the second Soul Train.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
So never got a Soul Train.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'm sitting there trying to think, who the hell wasn't
given award?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Student, man, I.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Never got a Soul Training but I'm like, hold on,
wait a minute, I never get a soul.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
I can't even get on the train.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
So I can't even get on so train man.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
So that's why you like that.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
That's why I'm like that. It's like I'm not playing politics.
I'm not playing the political game because the game is.
I don't feel like playing the game. I don't feel it,
like if my music don't say what it says or
say that.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Yo.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
This is like, I know everybody know who keeps I
went to the next game last night. I know everybody
know who keeps sweat? Is you know, just walking in

Speaker 1 (36:16):
He said that years ago.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Yeah, but I'm the dark Skins.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Have y'all ever hooked up the door record?
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Did y'all y'all ever reach out speak to each other?
Speaker 6 (36:26):
No, That's why I'm in the hotel.
Speaker 10 (36:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Did he try? Did you try? Or now y'all just
didn't have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Did he speak to you?
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
When I first met him, he was he was excited
to meet me, But as time went on, he became
he was Drake.
Speaker 9 (36:46):
Yeah, so the interaction wasn't good or.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
No it yeah, it was good.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
It was good, you know me, I just I'm just
like you know, it was good. You know he never
we never we we It's always been and cool with
us me you know, running into it. Just there's never
been no I don't fuck with you or you don't
fuck with me type of ship.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
I don't do that.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
I'm glad I cut closest on this tour. Why isn't
Silk on this tour? You rolle too many hits.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
For Silk, Mary go around?
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Now, it's because I tried to make it happen as
recently as last week. But you know, when you when
you're doing shows, right, there's only but so much money.
And the thing, you know, because you got production in licening,
you know what I'm saying. And you know, like I
(37:44):
gave up a lot, a lot of my money to
make it happen with cut close and certain. You know,
I gave up certain things. You know when I do shows,
I look at the branding of the show. I'm not
if it's me, if it's about me putting all the
money in my pocket, but the show is gonna be
I won't do it. So I try to make it
with the show is good for the public because now
(38:06):
in the temperature.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
We're in, in the.
Speaker 7 (38:09):
In the in the world and in this time and
people losing their jobs or whatever, and I gotta tell people,
I say, you can't charge as much for the ticket
price because you know, and you got so many two
us so you gotta have the ticket price has to
be at the right price because everybody can't afford those
high prices right now because so they want to see
the show, it's got to be at a price. So
(38:30):
that means the artist prices has to come down to
make sense if you want to tour, right, Some people
get it, some people don't.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
Until didn't get that.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
I'm not saying, but they five guys, so I can
understand that. You know, you gotta split the money five ways,
you know, and so the money has to be a
little more for somebody who.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Got to split the money five way.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
I realized that when I did LSG, I wasn't swear
your money go get cut three ways, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
And then when I started touring, I'm like, hold on,
wait a minute, man, look at my money. I'm going
out by myself, so that type of thing.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
So I was disappointed it didn't happen, but I'm understanding
that you gotta spend the money five ways. So my
money is just me and I make a lot more
than I back in the day when I hit it.
But I'm not giving up all my money because you're
spending five ways.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I can't do it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
I heard you say you're going to give up some
of it though, so that cut close can be good.
There's sometimes these conversations about you and cut close and
like your relationship being a little bit rocky, but it
sounds like you know you're taking care of them, right
so when you okay.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
I don't listen when it comes to people relationships being rocky.
I hears things and you know what I'm saying, It's
my truth, they truth and the real truth, right like,
And I say this to still cut closer to anybody else.
I always tell people if you think I did something
from you, I'll pay for my lawyer to open my books.
Speaker 6 (40:09):
You go look at my books and I'll pay for it.
People have heard me say that.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
I've told Tady that I tell that Hey, I'll tell
you what you think I took something from you. I'm
gonna call my lawyer. You can look through whatever you
want and I'll pay for it.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Now.
Speaker 7 (40:26):
If you don't find nothing, you're gonna pay that money back.
So really it's like to me, it's like, Okay, I'm
gonna pay my lawyer. But made over Ukay, you got
to take time. You gotta find things. Go ahead, find it,
look through it.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Now. If you find something, then you got a point.
Speaker 7 (40:46):
But if you don't find nothing, why should I pay
for you to find and you don't find nothing?
Speaker 6 (40:50):
Right, you gotta pay that back? Am I right? Wrong?
That makes sense? Right, you know what I'm saying. So
so I tell anybody.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
But when but cut Close was signed to a production company,
they weren't signed directly to me, so that the production
company gets everything and they got to pay their artists.
So it's never a direct thing because I didn't they were.
They were brought to me by someone else, right, So
(41:23):
when they said that's not that wasn't a deal I
put together. That was the deal the production company put together.
Because it's like, if anybody signed to a production company,
you know how that works. The production company is basically
the artist and you sign to pay the production company,
and the production company don't pay the artists. That's not you.
You have nothing to do with that. That's not that's
(41:46):
not your yo, yo fault. That's why it was only
one album done. I believe you know so. But you know,
I you know, I still, you know, love the hell
out of them girls, and I'm that's why I'm taking
them on to it. I don't have to take them
on to it with me, but I want to take
them onto it number one. I want to take them
because I think that's what the fans want to see.
(42:09):
And you know, everything you see is keyswet when there
was a whole ara of Key sweat cutcos Key sweat
cutcos Get swet cut Coast. So I'm doing that because
of the fans. Now, I'm gonna make it work if
they have issue, because I've been blessed to be in
a position with I can make it work, you know
what I'm saying. So I'm definitely gonna look after them
(42:31):
at this point, you know what I'm saying, because it's
like it's my it's my responsibility.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
I feel to do that. That's why I'm taking them
on the road.
Speaker 9 (42:38):
That's why hearing from you it's so important though, because
like they even like there's like the dollar publishing story,
there's the sophomore album was supposed to come out. They
thought a lot of what doesn't happen or didn't happen
for cut close on you. But to hear that there
it was somebody the production company that was also involved.
And not just keep sweat, but your name gets.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
I don't even know nothing about a dollar, you know.
I say what that come from? Because I don't some
of them them bullshit that stories. Why would I pay
it like that, that's so beneath a person like like,
that's not even my my pedigree, you know what I'm saying.
So when I like sometimes when I hear things, I
(43:16):
laugh because that's not even my pedigree, you know what
I'm saying. Because when I see people that's going to
have a problem, I go with my pocketing just head
in the back. I said, Yo, can I bow some money?
I know you can't, and you ask them for a thousands.
I know you can't pay it back, man. That's what
I'm giving you this to you because I know you
can't give it back because you ain't even got it
to give it back. So you know what I'm saying,
(43:36):
it's gonna put you back in the hole if I'm
looking for it. Right, That's what I do with a
lot of my friends who are my friends, to be
honest with you, right, So I'm not not even a
dollar come on that.
Speaker 6 (43:45):
That's not even real.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
That's not real enough because if somebody did that to me,
I would never talk to their ass.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
For people that are listening that don't know what he's
talking about, the story was that cut close sign they're
publishing away for a dollar? Just don't want to mention
some people don't know what the story is that we're
talking about.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
I wouldn't take nobody publishing for a dollar. I don't
think nobody would sell it for a dollar. Thank you.
You got to sell your publishing to me, right, Okay,
I can't force you to sell you So how can
I get take your publishing for a dollar? How can
I buy your publishing for a dollar because somebody would
have had to so that doesn't even make common sense, Like,
(44:28):
you know, nobody's going to say, yo, here's a dollar.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
I'm here's a dollar.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
Let me give you have your publisher who's gonna do that,
so that I'm telling you it was of a dozen
company signed them to me.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
Now, if somebody lying.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
Says we gave you key sweat your publishing for a dollar,
then they made it, go check them niggas. You know
what I'm saying because of a damn lie like that
is like I need to go to hell and burn
like motherfucker if that's true.
Speaker 6 (44:55):
Damn and I'm telling.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
The truth, That's how I feel. You know what I'm saying,
because that is so fucking whacked me. It was up
for somebody to do something like that, that's like me
having a problem with it. Why would I had issues
with people in the past on my my music. Matter
of fact, I'm having issues right now that I'm hiring
like two or three lawyers to go at certain people
right now where it is millions and millions and millions
(45:20):
of dollars at steak on my ship right so my
masters in all kinds of shit, right, So I know
I'm gonna get that ass. You know what I'm saying.
I'm putting it out there for though. I know I'm
gonna get that ass.
Speaker 6 (45:32):
So you might as well be Jason, what made you

Speaker 5 (00:32):
That's right now.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Keith popped out at our jingle ball in Atlanta, fall
Man at the arm b set Man.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
He had ladies going crazy out there.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Always did you ever get tired of it?
Speaker 6 (00:42):
Nah?
Speaker 7 (00:43):
I love that, you know. I love going on after
some people. I gotta make my statement. It's still the same.
Ain't nothing make it last whatever, baby.
Speaker 8 (00:51):
But your music has last through so many different generations
like it, don't even matter what crowd, keep sweat, pop
up out.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
They know the word.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They know you'd be up there with that cup.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
It's some tea.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Now you going out on tour with you Joe Drew
Hill in genuine.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Man, not just add it cut close on my set?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh my god, Oh that's dope.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
So what does it matter who closes out a show
like that?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Do you care?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I mean, because you got the hits, you got the legacy,
do you care where you?
Speaker 7 (01:22):
I really don't care for nobody really wants to go
on after me, you know what I'm saying. But I
don't really care because the sweet spot normally is nine
thirty ten o'clock at the show.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
That's the sweet spot.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
So you know, sometimes people cry about you know, but
nowadays when people come to a showy they're more concerned
about what kind of show you put on. They don't
really care who head and line it because you know,
it's like, yeah, as long as you rock the joint,
you know they gonna talk about you.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
That's what I do. I say, you want to close?
He closed? I don't care who put the gether of
the lineup.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
Well, you know, you can't get me on my show
unless than I agree to it. I gotta agreed to it.
So you know, any any deals I do, like, you
gotta tell me who was on the show before I
agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Who all over there. Who who.
Speaker 9 (02:05):
Are you gonna see you and cut close on the
stage together myself.
Speaker 10 (02:09):
Yeah, this is crazy, Joe Drew Hill. Genuine you're gonna
try to dance because you got to. You gotta compete dance.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I mean I don't need to dance.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I got I got dancers my day, I got eight
twelve dancers. I don't need to dance.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
I got You know, when people talk about R and
B keeps like your name is like foundational when it
comes to R and B. At what point did you
realize you weren't just making songs, you were like shaping
the whole sound.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I mean when I came in, I knew I could
do up, temple and slow and they all had the
same effects. So uh like there's nothing I can you know,
like I do affle, bead, R and B slow, fast,
it doesn't matter. So I mean I knew at that point,
once I knew I could do whatever, you know, I
knew I would. I would captivate you know that R
(03:04):
and B audience because of the fact, you know everybody
in the R and B game can't do everything. Well,
you sound crazy if you're doing the slow So if
feel ballad ded, you sound crazy trying to do an
up temple joint.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
It don't work for everybody.
Speaker 9 (03:15):
How do you feel when, like some of your songs
like I know I won't be here for long, it's
like the TikTok and even on Instagram, like it's like
the go to for a lot of the videos that
people use for the means when that happens, like as
an artist, like when you're watching it, how do you
feel when you see people using your sounds across TikTok
and Instagram?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Like, all these years later, I feel.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Good about it because I felt like I did what
I needed to do. I accomplished what I needed to accomplish.
I made an effect on the whole generation, you know,
So I feel like, you know, it makes me feel good.
It makes me feel proud about Yo, I created this
because you know, I write and produce all my joints. So,
you know, me writing and producing my joints and people
still living it to this day makes me feel like, Yo,
(03:57):
I am that dude.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I saw you post.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Can somebody please explain to me how Mary go Around
ended up on Roadblock?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Did you know because you wasn't on everywhere?
Speaker 6 (04:09):
No. I looked at that joint. I was saying, what
the hell is this?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Now?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I don't I don't even know.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Man, It's just I look at Instagram and and and
Facebook and YouTube, and like, what.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
The hell is this?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
How did you hear you was on roadblocks?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I just happened to look at see it happened.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Just happened to be some some chickouse. I got a
look roadblocks in my life.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
I'm on roadblocks and whatever blocks from my block.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
It is interesting, know how you got a whole generation
that's rediscovering like real grown R and B. So so,
so what do you think like modern R and B
is getting right? And what do you think that they're
missing that they keep coming back to the old G stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Well, like I had a conversation with Pleasure and all,
some of them young brothers, and I said, man, y'all,
y'all keep saying R and B is dead. Y'all killed
arm B because y'all want to curse the songs. Y'all
want to act like rm B is a rap record.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
I mean, rm B is full player R and B
is You know, y'all took the whole four play game
out there rap if you cursing and you're trying to
make up with your girl or whatever, and you're playing
R and B song you curse it.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
How you're gonna make up? Y'all have an August? So
now that record arguing with y'all to join the argument.
You know what I'm saying. So I'm saying, so yo,
that's not what rm B was about.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
That's what rm B is. The mell ship out melon.
You know what I'm saying, For y'all to sit down,
talk it out, talk it out, talk it out, y'all.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Don't kill the game.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
So that's why they keep sampling my ship because they like, oh,
make it last.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Who could lay you like me?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Nobody? You know you got twisted girl. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
I said, that's what everybody's going back to. That's why
every sample in my songs.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I got into an argument with this guy in Starbucks yesterday,
right two days ago. He works there, and he was
talking about hip hop and R and B and he
was saying that, you know, people are making R and
B hip hop and I'm like, that's not true. I'm like,
there are some R and B artists out of hip hop,
like Mary J.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Blige, I say, Chris Brown.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
But I said, there are are and B artists that
are not hip hop, and I'm like, like, Keith Sweat
is an R and B artist. So do you think
that when you talk about the cursed in the music?
Do you think there's different levels of doing it, different
ways of doing it? Like the hip hop version to
R and B and then just R and.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
B, when back in the day, R and B was
just R and B.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Even when Mary did it back in the day, she
still did it R and B, you know, I mean?
And so I think what sometimes we as R and
B artists have a tendency to do is we try
to be we create ourselves, and we know follow the
trend of what everybody else is doing, which doesn't work
(07:02):
for everybody, and it shouldn't work for everybody. I'm not
trying to follow what everybody else is doing. That's why
I'm in this lane by myself, or certain lanes by myself,
because I don't care what he doing on the right
or he doing on the left.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
That doesn't make your pioneer following somebody else. I don't
want to follow you. I don't want to follow you.
This is what I do because for so long people
have talked shit about he sweat, but he don't do this,
he don't do that, he don't do that. So now
my point is I'm just laughing thirty our years later
and say, y'all thought I couldn't do this, and I did.
I didn't do that because I didn't want to do this.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
You couldn't do to dance. That's it. That's the only
I heard.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I could dance. You've seen me on something to go
back and look at some of the.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Now but you know, like for instance, like I never
won a bet Award. I never want to Grammy after grant,
you know what I'm saying. But when I get on stage,
I always say, y'all of my Grammys could look you
know everybody that has done that, they're not even still relevant.
You know, I'm still headlining and I'm still doing what
(08:05):
I do, so I'm still able to do tours and
you know, do six seven thousand or more people. So
you know, Africa been trying to get me over there
for the longest. You know what I'm saying. They trying
to go up on the money more and more.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Please me. Stee Way coming to see me. I've been
to Africa. I've been all over.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
I've been a Kate Town, derb and you know, Johannesburg,
NIGERI I've been to Africa before. But you know, I mean,
you know last time when the Africa was funny because
they got me because you know, he said, you're playing
in Africa.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
I said, okay, so I'm in Africa right.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
We're in the car driving, so I said, well the sugar,
I said, oh man, they having a game over there.
It's packed out as a soccer stadium. He said, my brother,
that's where you beformed me tonight. I said, hold, look,
wait a minute, let me get this person on the phone.
You said them, he said, it sold out soccer stadium,
standing room only. Man, I called back to America, I said, man,
(09:10):
if you don't put some more money in mind, I'm
coming home. So that's the last time I've been South
Africa when it was soccer stadium, you know I did.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It was packed out. It was damn man.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And so so you thought she was doing a smaller venue.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Oh my god, yes I did. And then I seen
I said, mante the game there.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
No, that's what you so. So now they're getting it
all together. So you know, you know, they sent me
some stuff. They want me going to Shambia, you know
what I'm or. You know, they're trying to put the
whole thing together. But I said before I go, I
want to make.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Sure that's what stadiums.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You doing at the stadiums, and the money got to
be what it got to be. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Do you think pain is necessary to make great? R?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
And B or can enjoy be just as powerful? And
the love song?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I've never been happy making the love song? No, No,
I mean you know, like my best songs came from
being hurt.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Make it last Forever.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
That first album was a hurt, was all pain and
nobody was I think it was all pain. You know,
like we all go through things in our life, you
know what I'm saying. And some people you know, and
it doesn't necessarily a female. You know what I'm saying.
Things hit you at a you know where you least suspected.
You know, we could be like one day and be
like going on the next you know what I'm saying.
(10:33):
So you know that's when I think I get my
best ideas when I run in the studio after you know,
I'm going through something because that's like, for me therapeutic.
I can write songs and it's there, very therapeutic for me,
and I'm like, oh my god, because I've written songs
in two hours, three songs and two hours and they
(10:53):
were hit you know, and it was therapeutic for me.
It was like me, you know, getting counseling. You know
what I'm saying, that type of stuf.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
That's interesting, you said, because a lot of your records
do feel like conversations people were afraid to have in
real life.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So you are writing from personal.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Experience, right, definitely.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
I don't know if you want to share. But during
to make It Last for every time, what was it
that you were exploring?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
This girl cheated on me so ahead, So I was like, yo,
so I went through a whole It was like what
I really went through. Something just ain't right was really
something just ain't right. Make it last was really make
it last. Don't stop your lover was really don't stop

Speaker 4 (11:38):
She cheated on you with another celebrity a ball.

Player, just a regular game on me.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
She came, she came to her school reunion, saying, got
with one of whole You know, actually I was in
New York. She came to Atlanta and where out there?
And then her girlfriend told Anna.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Da damn, you get with the girl.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
A girlfriend?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Man, I didn't want a girlfriend us a snitch.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But that's how you felt for you want happy that
the girl came to you and told.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
You what was up that ship? Now that shit made
me hurt, mold Nick.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
So you rather be cheated on in peace you might
not even know about.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
I want to know what I don't want to know.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
You know, it's kind of like you want to know,
but you said some things are better said on said.
You know what I'm saying. You know how that is.
You want to know what you don't want to know?
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
So it's like I'm like, damn, do I really want
to know? Because some things that hit you harder knowing
getting that confirmation something.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
You would always had that little bitting you saying, well
maybe that didn't have it, you know, but what you
know it did happen.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You'll be on the whole nother level.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Man, So you thought she was cheating like you already.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Had, I added in my mind, but she put that
gave you that clarity, and I was like, damn, girl,
you will go.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Back to check out she's doing. But like, I hope
she's doing bad now you check on Facebook.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
I'm a funny.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
I want everybody cheating on me to do bad.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Anybody. Now that's the that's the that's people mentality.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Because if you if they do they cheated on you,
and they and they and you're doing good, they hate that.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
That's the wor they look at you. Oh god, wrong man,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
But if you're doing bad, they'd be I thank god
I left that one so you be warning.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
It's kind of like.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
That's it's selfish, but it's real. And if somebody say
that's not true, they lying. I don't care what nobody said.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know what interrected keeping.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
People would think that you are player and you out
here sleeping with a bunch of girl friends and stuff,
but you seem like.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You was a one woman.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Man, look at.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
You, what's that You were faithful? Now, whole situation before
you find out you cheated.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I think I was I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
I think I was.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
She wasn't cheating back.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
No, no, no, I think because I was into it.
You know what I'm saying. If I'm into somebody, I
ain't trying to mess it up, mess it up.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
But if I ain't really into you, because you know,
sometimes you think you into somebody, you ain't into somebody,
think you see something else walking.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
I guess I wasn't into but in my eyes can't
be open. But so I'm funny, man, because you know,
you know the one. If I'm into you, I'm into you.
But if you if I if I see the slightest
little bit of you know, something that you ain't doing, man,
I'm then then I'm like that. Right now, I'm going
(14:45):
through that ship. You know what I mean. I'm going
through that. They think they slick, but they ain't slicking.
I'm putting them out there for you.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
I was okay, they think they're doing what's happening.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yo. You know.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
When you when you when you when you're doing wrote
songs about bangs, when you're on the experience thing, you know,
when somebody being select You know what I'm saying, when
somebody doing banging somebody else too, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
And they, you know, they have a tendency to play that,
oh I'm a good girl role. Don't play that like Yo,
my attitude is this right?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Anybody right? And this is the truth.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
If you want to open a relationship, just say, yo,
I wanna do my thing, You do your thing with me,
back together, be together.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
You know, you take care of things with me when
I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
And if you want to be with the next man,
let him do what he do he with you, because
if that's what you want, there's nothing wrong with that,
because now you've been because now now that you don't
want to play with people feelings and emotions. It's a
dangerous game out here when you're playing with people feelings
and emotions. So it's like I tell people all day long,
don't you know? You know that's not a toy with
(16:01):
You know what I'm saying, Because if you ever been hurt,
that joint ain't no joke for real. And some people
can't handle pain, that kind of pain, I can handle it.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
You know what I'm saying. Because I go in the
students start singing. You know what I'm saying. Everybody can.
It's so it's like it's better for people to say, yo,
this is what I want to do.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You do you?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
When you do you, I do me, and then when
we want to be together, we do it.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yeah, but you cannot keep make somebody or you can't
ask somebody do certain things that you're only your real
significant other should do and playing games with them that
is not some of the toy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And you gotta make a real commitment.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Are you in a relationship right now? Are you in
a relationship right now?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Sometimes I think I am? Sometimes, Man, you gotta stop
with this.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
How does she know when she's playing games? If like
what are y'all y'all have like boundaries or like a
certain situation set up, Like there's like like are you exclusive?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Like what is she playing?
Speaker 9 (16:57):
You're supposed to be You are supposed to exclusive, right
but you ain't.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Keith, don't talk. You're ready to go back and tell
a girl.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Don't telling.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I'm just trying to figure it out because I just
want to know where you're coming from.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Okay, that you got it? You know? Okay? Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
He brom What the closest you think you've ever been
to getting married.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I've been married before. You're married a long time ago.
Don't bring it up though.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Damn whatever, people you are great, move on to another.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Didn't last like that?
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Who do you listen to when you're going through a heartbreak?
People listen to your music when they sweat you Just
go in there and write something.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
You think I'm playing, No, I'm not playing. I don't
want to hear nobody else singing to me when I'm
going to a heartbreak. I want to hear me sing
to me. Say yo, this is how you figure your situation.
I promise you I'm not listening nobody else. I'm going
to heartbreak because I've written too many songs to heal myself.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
You know what I'm saying. I go back and listen,
you know, because I've.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Been for Drew Hill, Ron Osley and Mature everybody right,
so I can listen to some of them songs.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Say, Okay, this is because, like I said, every time
I've been through a situation, I've been able to write.
And so I can go to maybe the second third
album and listen to something that be like damn that
and it might heal man feel good, you know, I
feel good about it, But no LSG album anything.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Sothing like that.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
You know, are you the type of person after a heartbreak?
Like if the person breaks your heart, are you willing
to work it out and move forward or you just
completely off the person after that and you're moving on
to something. No.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
I don't like starting over. I'm a person that don't like.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I like to try to fix what's broke, because you know,
I just feel like if you when you get into
a new situation, it's still gonna be something that's you
have to work through and fix, and then you're gonna
have the same problem. So my ad a lot of
times you're gonna when you have the same problems. So
my attitude is to try to fix what's broken because
(19:05):
you know that person someone and that person knows you somewhat,
So do what you gotta do to fix that if
you think you can trust that person, that you feel
that person can trust you, or you feel you can
get to a middle point where y'all both agree. That's
my point, because going to something else is like, oh,
I got to meet the family, Mambers I gotta meet.
It's just that whole process, and it takes a long time,
(19:26):
and then you'd be like, you're so consumed with a
bunch of difference, because it's always gonna be somebody who
has the what's.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
The next set of problems? It's gonna be that.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
And anybody that says it's not it's not true because
I've experienced that. Okay, I gotta deal with this, this
one not dealt with and this is this situation, and
now I gotta deal with this in their situation, and
so it's always gonna be something else.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
But the current situation.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Now, why a you't trying to fix that?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I don't say I ain't tried. They might. They might
think they still slick, you know what I'm saying. So
you know, watch not after she watched this, she gonna know. No,
son's son just ain't right.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Is another celebrity that you'redating. Do you stick to people
who are like non celebrity?
Speaker 6 (20:06):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I don't do the celebrity dating thing. I just don't.
I mean, because it's I don't have.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
You tried before you ever?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Well when I got with him, they wasn't celebrity. I don't.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I just don't. I like two people be private, but
not be private, you know what I mean? If you
don't want to take a picture with me, that means you're.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Doing something wrong. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
You know, but I don't do the dating celebrity thing.
I've always been like that.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I don't. It's just something about me.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
I don't want to do that. When you say not
wanting to take a picture with you, what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
I mean, you know where most people, you know how
people out and if somebody don't want to be seen,
take a picture with you.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
And it's not like some young girls on vacation with
the sugar daddy.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I don't start that bullshitt. You want to be in
the video you had new from that, you know what
I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Your right?
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Don't just take the picture the food and crop my
head out.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
But I mean not that you're a sugar daddy, but
you are Keith Sweat. So it's like I would think
that you wouldn't want to be in the photo.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
But if I'm not, if that's the one, I.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Mean you sugar Zaddy, like you know, don't there y'all
go yo, get them some water.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
But can the R and B singer have a night off.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
What I mean by that is you guys sing to
these these ladies and you guys, these ladies desire you
when you'll get into the bedroom. Y'all can't have a
night off because it's.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Over, because you can't have it because you are R
and b s.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
What you're trying to say, like you gotta put it down?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Yeah, like if you if you don't, you always it's
the pressure there for you.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Ain't no pressure for me, man, you're talking about for you,
your goddamn you ain't lady gave you some chicken wings
and set you on your way down.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Love.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Let me ask you something. You you're not an armed
you are not R and b Art, but you're celebrity,
so they play pressure for you.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
It's my wife.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Oh bro, they're still pressure on my wife or something.
Well that ain't that.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm glad you.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Book he talks about how he didn't make his wife
all gat him for teen years.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Get the forgot his.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
We made we were fifteen and sixteen.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Was broun with the joint? Was wround with the joint?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Wasn't you was wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
With yant work?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Think sex?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was point?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
You just gonna bank bank bank bank bank I was
sixteen years old, fifteen, he and I made it come
from my mouth, just not for.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
The sock.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
It wasn't working that continue a decade.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
To listen anything you understand now about relationships that you
wish you knew when you was writing them Heartbreak Records.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Nah, I think I understand everything. I understood stuff back then.
But you know, like it's always wishful thinking. You know,
you know what you know, but you know, we just
have wishful thinking. We hope that when we get into
something that's gonna be you know, perfect, but that ain't
nothing perfect, So you know what I'm saying. So the
things I felt that it could be ends up being
that way, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
So we all have wishful thinking.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
We all want certain things to be amazing and and
and great. That's why I said make it last forever,
because that's wishful thinking. That's what make it last forever
was about wishful thinking. We want everything to last forever.
But though it's just not that way, you know what
I'm saying, Things just gonna you know, you're gonna have
bumps in the road, and anything you do in life
(24:17):
there's gonna be some bumps.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
In the road.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
I like what you was explaining earlier though, because you
were kind of explaining how to make it last forever,
meaning that when you go through those bumps in the road,
that don't mean give up, that don't mean quit if
you really love this person, like listen right, you know
what I'm saying that you not, It doesn't make you
a sucker when you when you love someone on on on,
neither the win or the woman that'll make you whack
(24:40):
for trying to fix what you what you love or
you know what I'm saying that I think it's whack
if you walk away from something and you love it,
because sometimes people just try to be hard.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Oh I don't need you, I don't want you. I
can go find me something else, somewhere else.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And you know, you at that point, you're fooling yourself
because you're gonna run and like I said, you're gonna
run into the same baggage somewhere else. So you know
that's why I said, I hate to start all over
because it's like you gotta date again, you gotta start
just doing all the and sometimes you know, when we
get older, we just be like, man, I ain't trying
(25:16):
to do all that. I mean, as you get older,
you ain't trying to do all the same hit you
was doing before. I don't want to do all that, man,
I'm not doing all that, So you try to balance
everything else else because like for me, I'm too busy
working on too many other things to keep like like,
y'all right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
We all business people were trying to grow.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
No matter what we do, We're trying to grow and
keep growing and keep moving right, and we ain't got
time for the bullshit. So that's what you're bringing to me.
Just stay where you at, Let me stay where I'm at.
If you want to work things out, let's come on,
work things out and help me and help me create me,
and let me help you create you, and let's build together.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
That's my whole point in life.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Is anything you're still trying to prove right you mentioned
you didn't get it be to your ward? No, Grammy,
is there anything that you want or you're just right now?
It's all like I'm just having a good time before.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Right now, I'm just God is good and I'm just
happy that I've Like like when I grew, I grew
up in the Grand you know, and I grew up
in the projects Hall on Grand Product on the twenty
fifth street.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
More onto I namn.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
So that like for me to even be where I'm
somewhere where I never thought I would ever be, never
had an idea, you know, all my dreams from me
walking down the street watching old Jay's on the you know,
at the parlor, on the parlor night the Marquis, all
the people Teddy saying, damn, maybe one day I'll be there.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
And to have accomplished that and more than ever I
thought I would ever accomplished, you know, to me, you know,
I've gotten my heart's desire, and you know what I'm saying,
I got more than what because there's a lot of
people that will never ever get their heart desire, things
they dreaming about their life. So I think we're blessed,
(27:02):
you know, for all those that have gotten certain things
in life. We're definitely blessed to have been able to
get build and get what a lot of things out
of life that most people will never get.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, but you know, I think about like a bt
on a Teddy.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Riley, like that was maybe ten years ago, now right,
they got to do that for you because if you
want to do a new Jack Swing tribute, definitely what.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Because you know I don't want it if I haven't
got listen, I'm funny.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Yeah, y'all gotta understand how funny I am.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
My attitude in life is give it to me when
I deserve it.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Hold up, Hold up, hold hold up, hold on.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
This is I've had more hazards further of all, if
you don't give it to me when after that, like
I told my daughter, if God forbid, I'll leave here
today tomorrow, you bet not take no award they try
to give you now because you know, like my attitude
is this right, you know, don't try to give me
my fliers when I'm not here. And then like I
be seeing them do that to people, and I'm like, yo,
(28:02):
you never really acknowledged them like that when they was
head Come on, I don't want that bullshit.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
It's like I'm the man that I am. You know,
I'll teach you my kids to be the same way.
You know, be proud men, don't be take a hand out.
You know what I'm saying, Don't give it to me
because now you want to make this big thing and
you want people to come and acknowledge it. Man, that's
for the networks and the fuck that shit.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I know, and that's not me.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
But you don't think that it adds, like just education
around your legacy, because there are a lot of people
who don't know your role in the New Jackson.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
In my own documentary and put my own shit out
and they know you're fluid though I don't need to do,
you know, because I can. I got my money to
do my own doc eight nine ten episodes if I
want to do it, put it all together, and that's
what I do now, you know what, I'm saying that
(28:56):
you won't buy this and I own the car on it,
you know what, and saying that's how, that's how you
do things today. I'm not gonna do that. That's why
I never did Sung and none of the other stuff,
right because I'm not going to let you have my
thing and show it at any time you want to
show me.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
This is no. You can't do that to me.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
So I'll do mine, sell it to you, and then
I'll tell you when I want you to show that.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Then when I want you to stop show to tell
your story.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Yeah, because half the people, the stories that are told
are not real story, They're not true.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
They leave a lot of tape on the floor, and
we want to show the next what we want to show.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
What they want to show. You fabricate and I don't
want that. You know, you can't fabricate things, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I mean, it's just like everybody said the new jack
Swings started on my first album.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
To Sickly fish Woody Crest Avenue to see me because
he had pretty pearl records all that type of stuff.
You know what I'm saying. People don't know about all
that stuff. So that was way before I wanna. So
that's what I'm saying. You know, It's like it didn't
start with people thinking. Don't Stop Your Love was my
first song. That's what I got my deal on don't
(30:45):
Stop your Love. It wasn't on I wanted. It was
on don't Stop your Love, So you know, and Benson
Davis gave me the deal with entertainment, and that's where
it all started.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
That's why I want to see your story told because
if you can't, I love Teddy, but Teddy can't all
the credit for creating New Jack Swing, not with ill
Keith sweat Well.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Teddy will tell everybody, and that's my man. Is that
what happened is when I got my deal, but don't
stop it up. I'm the one that went to Teddy
and told Teddy, y'all I need I got to deal
with the lecturer and I wanted you to come on
and work without me, because he was with this group
called Kids at Work, if you remember, and I was.
We would do the Chitlin circuit in New York. We
(31:24):
would do the Red Parrot mark for all them smallst parents.
I saw all them clubs in Harlem and that I
had a group called Jamila Kinky and uh the name
was in Kinky foss uh uh I just got paid
Mann Kent was in uh see because I wrote just
(31:48):
got paid with Teddy, you know what I'm saying. But
I never got credit for it, so you know, it's
just a whole other thing. You know what I'm saying,
because I'm the one that ran that. Johnny Chimis say yo,
because Jess got paid with was going my first album
and we missed the time frame of it because we
had to handle the credits in so it was sitting
with Teddy that whole time, and Johnny went over there
(32:11):
and recorded it and then you know, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
But that's that's hell.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
There there was there was some You applied a little
bit of pressure to Teddy for that too, when you
because you heard the record on the radio.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
So the story, now, I applied a little pressure to
Johnny kemp Uh, you know, god rest is soul. I
applied some pressure to that, and you know and Jane Griffin, Jane.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Griffin, that's what.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Look at his face, man.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
So the record sounds just like you though.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
You can tell.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Yeah, So you know that's where the pressure got. But
I just but I left it alone because you know,
it's just like because I you know, then it went
on for more. It just kept going going on. And
then because Let's Chill was supposed to be the song
I did. Then meet Teddy and butnar Bell wrote Let's
Chill Together, and that was was going to the That
was the song that I was supposed to do a
(33:03):
New Jack City, and you know I didn't. It didn't happen.
And you know that's how I ended up singing there
you go telling me know again, I would I be
singing there you go telling me no at the wedding thing.
And then because I had to have it, See the
song was supposed to be ready that next day.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
I had to have it.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
For the wedding scene. Very bad people said, yo, we
you know, we gotta have a song. If you're gonna
be in the thing, you gotta have a song. So
I had to go and right there you go telling
me know again that same night before I shot that
scene in Branston at Grandstone. So that's where there you
go telling me no. Came in because I couldn't think
of nothing else. But there you go tell me no,
(33:40):
we're gonna get y'all at Wow. That's how that came about.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I was asking, so if bt the Grammy is any
of those organizations come out.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
I said, we want to do something.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
For you, You're gonna say no, Wow, Damn.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
I would.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
I would love.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Look where I'm at. I got my flowers. I'm well, I'm.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Like like like everybody, the thing is different everybody. You
know what I'm saying, That don't that's not gonna make
take my legacy away. Me not having that, that's not
gonna do nothing less for me. They ain't gonna they
ain't gonna give me no more money. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
So what is it gonna do is? Oh, it's just
now I don't care. Man. I used to care. It
used to borrow me. I'm gonna tell you the truth.
It used to bother me.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
It's just like when when you know they took the
what was it the American Music Award for me the
first time or something like that, and gave it to
George Michael or whatever for the Best Army Album, and
I got I was halfway out of my sleep best
I'm mean George, like I said, my samp myself. So
it's like, but but that was the only one that
(34:51):
really ever acknowledged me and gave me was American Music Award.
That was my first real big award, American Music Award.
So it's like, so when I got that, I'm like, yo, dag,
I ain't get a bat And I never got a
Soul Training ward when Don Conaius was with it.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
What never, that's crazy Paxicing Baker gave me.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
I never got a but Paxing Baker realized I never
got a Soul Train award and gave me a Lifetime
Achievement Award on the second Soul Train.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
So never got a Soul Train.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'm sitting there trying to think, who the hell wasn't
given award?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Student, man, I.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Never got a Soul Training but I'm like, hold on,
wait a minute, I never get a soul.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
I can't even get on the train.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
So I can't even get on so train man.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
So that's why you like that.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
That's why I'm like that. It's like I'm not playing politics.
I'm not playing the political game because the game is.
I don't feel like playing the game. I don't feel it,
like if my music don't say what it says or
say that.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Yo.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
This is like, I know everybody know who keeps I
went to the next game last night. I know everybody
know who keeps sweat? Is you know, just walking in
his spike? Alan Houston all the help?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Baby? You know? You know t Lou, you know all that?
What's up? You know? Hanging Drake said he the light
skin keeps sweat.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
He said that years ago.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Yeah, but I'm the dark Skins.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Have y'all ever hooked up the door record?
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Did y'all y'all ever reach out speak to each other?
Speaker 6 (36:26):
No, That's why I'm in the hotel.
Speaker 10 (36:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Did he try? Did you try? Or now y'all just
didn't have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Did he speak to you?
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
When I first met him, he was he was excited
to meet me, But as time went on, he became
he was Drake.
Speaker 9 (36:46):
Yeah, so the interaction wasn't good or.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
No it yeah, it was good.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
It was good, you know me, I just I'm just
like you know, it was good. You know he never
we never we we It's always been and cool with
us me you know, running into it. Just there's never
been no I don't fuck with you or you don't
fuck with me type of ship.
Speaker 6 (37:07):
I don't do that.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
I'm glad I cut closest on this tour. Why isn't
Silk on this tour? You rolle too many hits.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
For Silk, Mary go around?
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Now, it's because I tried to make it happen as
recently as last week. But you know, when you when
you're doing shows, right, there's only but so much money.
And the thing, you know, because you got production in licening,
you know what I'm saying. And you know, like I
(37:44):
gave up a lot, a lot of my money to
make it happen with cut close and certain. You know,
I gave up certain things. You know when I do shows,
I look at the branding of the show. I'm not
if it's me, if it's about me putting all the
money in my pocket, but the show is gonna be
I won't do it. So I try to make it
with the show is good for the public because now
(38:06):
in the temperature.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
We're in, in the.
Speaker 7 (38:09):
In the in the world and in this time and
people losing their jobs or whatever, and I gotta tell people,
I say, you can't charge as much for the ticket
price because you know, and you got so many two
us so you gotta have the ticket price has to
be at the right price because everybody can't afford those
high prices right now because so they want to see
the show, it's got to be at a price. So
(38:30):
that means the artist prices has to come down to
make sense if you want to tour, right, Some people
get it, some people don't.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
Until didn't get that.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
I'm not saying, but they five guys, so I can
understand that. You know, you gotta split the money five ways,
you know, and so the money has to be a
little more for somebody who.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Got to split the money five way.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
I realized that when I did LSG, I wasn't swear
your money go get cut three ways, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
And then when I started touring, I'm like, hold on,
wait a minute, man, look at my money. I'm going
out by myself, so that type of thing.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
So I was disappointed it didn't happen, but I'm understanding
that you gotta spend the money five ways. So my
money is just me and I make a lot more
than I back in the day when I hit it.
But I'm not giving up all my money because you're
spending five ways.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I can't do it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
I heard you say you're going to give up some
of it though, so that cut close can be good.
There's sometimes these conversations about you and cut close and
like your relationship being a little bit rocky, but it
sounds like you know you're taking care of them, right
so when you okay.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
I don't listen when it comes to people relationships being rocky.
I hears things and you know what I'm saying, It's
my truth, they truth and the real truth, right like,
And I say this to still cut closer to anybody else.
I always tell people if you think I did something
from you, I'll pay for my lawyer to open my books.
Speaker 6 (40:09):
You go look at my books and I'll pay for it.
People have heard me say that.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
I've told Tady that I tell that Hey, I'll tell
you what you think I took something from you. I'm
gonna call my lawyer. You can look through whatever you
want and I'll pay for it.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Now.
Speaker 7 (40:26):
If you don't find nothing, you're gonna pay that money back.
So really it's like to me, it's like, Okay, I'm
gonna pay my lawyer. But made over Ukay, you got
to take time. You gotta find things. Go ahead, find it,
look through it.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
Now. If you find something, then you got a point.
Speaker 7 (40:46):
But if you don't find nothing, why should I pay
for you to find and you don't find nothing?
Speaker 6 (40:50):
Right, you gotta pay that back? Am I right? Wrong?
That makes sense? Right, you know what I'm saying. So
so I tell anybody.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
But when but cut Close was signed to a production company,
they weren't signed directly to me, so that the production
company gets everything and they got to pay their artists.
So it's never a direct thing because I didn't they were.
They were brought to me by someone else, right, So
(41:23):
when they said that's not that wasn't a deal I
put together. That was the deal the production company put together.
Because it's like, if anybody signed to a production company,
you know how that works. The production company is basically
the artist and you sign to pay the production company,
and the production company don't pay the artists. That's not you.
You have nothing to do with that. That's not that's
(41:46):
not your yo, yo fault. That's why it was only
one album done. I believe you know so. But you know,
I you know, I still, you know, love the hell
out of them girls, and I'm that's why I'm taking
them on to it. I don't have to take them
on to it with me, but I want to take
them onto it number one. I want to take them
because I think that's what the fans want to see.
(42:09):
And you know, everything you see is keyswet when there
was a whole ara of Key sweat cutcos Key sweat
cutcos Get swet cut Coast. So I'm doing that because
of the fans. Now, I'm gonna make it work if
they have issue, because I've been blessed to be in
a position with I can make it work, you know
what I'm saying. So I'm definitely gonna look after them
(42:31):
at this point, you know what I'm saying, because it's
like it's my it's my responsibility.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
I feel to do that. That's why I'm taking them
on the road.
Speaker 9 (42:38):
That's why hearing from you it's so important though, because
like they even like there's like the dollar publishing story,
there's the sophomore album was supposed to come out. They
thought a lot of what doesn't happen or didn't happen
for cut close on you. But to hear that there
it was somebody the production company that was also involved.
And not just keep sweat, but your name gets.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
I don't even know nothing about a dollar, you know.
I say what that come from? Because I don't some
of them them bullshit that stories. Why would I pay
it like that, that's so beneath a person like like,
that's not even my my pedigree, you know what I'm saying.
So when I like sometimes when I hear things, I
(43:16):
laugh because that's not even my pedigree, you know what
I'm saying. Because when I see people that's going to
have a problem, I go with my pocketing just head
in the back. I said, Yo, can I bow some money?
I know you can't, and you ask them for a thousands.
I know you can't pay it back, man. That's what
I'm giving you this to you because I know you
can't give it back because you ain't even got it
to give it back. So you know what I'm saying,
(43:36):
it's gonna put you back in the hole if I'm
looking for it. Right, That's what I do with a
lot of my friends who are my friends, to be
honest with you, right, So I'm not not even a
dollar come on that.
Speaker 6 (43:45):
That's not even real.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
That's not real enough because if somebody did that to me,
I would never talk to their ass.
Speaker 9 (43:54):
For people that are listening that don't know what he's
talking about, the story was that cut close sign they're
publishing away for a dollar? Just don't want to mention
some people don't know what the story is that we're
talking about.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
I wouldn't take nobody publishing for a dollar. I don't
think nobody would sell it for a dollar. Thank you.
You got to sell your publishing to me, right, Okay,
I can't force you to sell you So how can
I get take your publishing for a dollar? How can
I buy your publishing for a dollar because somebody would
have had to so that doesn't even make common sense, Like,
(44:28):
you know, nobody's going to say, yo, here's a dollar.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
I'm here's a dollar.
Speaker 7 (44:33):
Let me give you have your publisher who's gonna do that,
so that I'm telling you it was of a dozen
company signed them to me.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
Now, if somebody lying.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
Says we gave you key sweat your publishing for a dollar,
then they made it, go check them niggas. You know
what I'm saying because of a damn lie like that
is like I need to go to hell and burn
like motherfucker if that's true.
Speaker 6 (44:55):
Damn and I'm telling.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
The truth, That's how I feel. You know what I'm saying,
because that is so fucking whacked me. It was up
for somebody to do something like that, that's like me
having a problem with it. Why would I had issues
with people in the past on my my music. Matter
of fact, I'm having issues right now that I'm hiring
like two or three lawyers to go at certain people
right now where it is millions and millions and millions
(45:20):
of dollars at steak on my ship right so my
masters in all kinds of shit, right, So I know
I'm gonna get that ass. You know what I'm saying.
I'm putting it out there for though. I know I'm
gonna get that ass.
Speaker 6 (45:32):
