Big Boy Neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Lady and gentlemen, it's got all legendary up in here.
It is legendary. And Mariah careys here, we'll go back
to the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
MC. Thank you, Thank you, doll. It is a pleasure
to see you.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
It's such a pleasure to see man.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
And I'm telling you, like, even before we turned to
Mike's on, there was so much I wanted to talk
to you about because you're always like super great energy, right,
and Mariah, You're one of those people that don't have
to come and say hello in person.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
But we love to come and see hell.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
But why why do you continue with all the accolades
and everything that you have and being number one?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Just everything?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Like why do you continue to love people and love
what you do?
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I think you said it like I love people, and
you know, this time around is interesting because it's a
new album. Yeah, and I haven't had a brand new
album in a long time, new single and coming to
see the people I've seen over the years is just
something that I would never not want to do.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well, thank you, Yeah, I don't want you to not
do I'm not questioning you, like, yeah, you don't have
to do this because I love that you do.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And now when you say.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
New album, what is it that makes you continue to
make great music as well?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Though?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Because you would think you could just hang up on
the accolades and what you've done.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But what keeps you musically challenged? Hmmm?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Well, just for so long I was redoing my you know,
other songs, like this year we had Me Me twenty
which was the honoring not honoring, but you know, celebrating
the emancipation of MEMI that album, and we're traveling all
over the place and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But while that was.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Happening, I was making new music and just getting ready
to be able to just give it to.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
The people and not what makes you because there's so
much that goes on in the climate right now, and
there's certain things that I would just say, man, like
you rest on so much goodness, but there's just things
inside of you that not only for you, but you
wanted to make sure that you shared with the people
like you've been sharing for decades.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, well we don't know numbers, so I don't know
how long.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's and you know what, we don't count numbers, and
you know I don't count I don't count radio anniversaries
and none of that. You don't, no, man, no, because
I'm like this, and I tell a neighborhood as well.
There's people that's been listening to me for years, and
it's somebody that probably just started listening to me today.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
It depends on wherever you got on the ORN ramp.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Wherever you got on the Orn ramp, that's where I
exist to you not knowing that there's a lot of
exits and Onorn rams behind you. So wherever you catch
on to big Boy, that's where you caught me at. Yeah,
so don't I don't do the whole. I don't do
the whole like anniversary things, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And it's funny because I do anniversaries instead of birth really. Yeah,
because if you're going to have something, might as well
have something that doesn't count against.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yes, Okay, well I'm at a spot now why I
better start having these anniversaries, You know what I'm saying,
Because if I put as many candles as single candles
into a cake, I'm gonna have to call the fire department.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know what I'm saying, Mariah, hold on my love.
Speaker 3 (03:20):

Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's type Dangerous is the name of the song, and
it's a festive little tune that I really like. It
samples Eric b and rock Him Eric pas Resident one
of my all time favorite songs, and you know, we
just started working on stuff and it just came to
(04:08):
be that we were sampling that song, which you know,
it's just one of the greatest things.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And you've had sample success before.
Speaker 3 (04:17):

of an introduction to the summer kind of thing.

even like today yesterday?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do you consume yourself with with others music?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well, just because I'm working on this album right now,
it's like, you know, or what what are we supposed
to call albums?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
What do they call it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I still call them albums? Did you say project?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Project?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (04:53):

Speaker 5 (05:14):
So? Because I have you know, all these songs have
of course, somebody asked me to do one more and
so I'm going to do that soon.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is that a collaboration.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You can talk to me collaboration Not yet, but it
might be.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But do you have collapse on the album already?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You have? Give me the run down.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
But somebody told me I wasn't allowed to say that,
really you, Mariah Carey.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I have a duet with Anderson pat.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's I just we just saw Anderson, did you? Yeah?
Where were we at? Can? Yeah? He was at the
pop up.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I have been seeing Anderson a little bit too. I
saw him at Ironheart of Wards as well. Yeah, Anderson,
that dude is a musical beast. I think Anderson is
more talented than people understand.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I think so too.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, so you gotta say with Anderson, alrighty, we.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Did together, we wrote together. Oh now, yes, it's very good.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know, and I know that guy.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
We know him.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
That's my boy love Anderson. Alright. So aside from Anderson.
Speaker 5 (06:17):

That is right iconic Mariah Carey right there for Big
Boy TV, our YouTube channel. As you're watching Mariah Carey
or any of any of the content that we have there,
hit that subscribe button, y'all continue to hang out. What
is in the neighborhood, Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
This is Big Boy on demand, Big Boys Neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Alrighty, let's get all iconic up in here, your big interview.
We got the one and only Mariah Carey in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So what made you say this album mode? You know,
project mode.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Project mode?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Just yeah, yeah, because we were just doing, you know,
a couple songs here and there, and then it just
became like, okay, this is might as well be a project.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Do you feel like sometimes and not to anyone else,
do you feel like sometimes like, okay, what this is
my world? Do you ever feel like I've let you
guys have it for a little bit, you know, but
y'all let y'all have it? Yeah, and then you know
what I'm saying, But do you know, do you know
how to get out of your own way when it
(07:31):
comes to new comes to new music, or you critical
on yourself.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I'm very critical of myself, but I also love to
make music.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So it's kind of both.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
What do you miss if there is a thing missing?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You know, because we do being in the business we
come from like there was just greatness of holding the
album and reading the liner notes and you know, and
then everybody it was like, okay, you got Billboard, you
got you got a few critics now and everybody got
this this device right here, and everybody's a critic, Like, yeah,
how do you not let that get in the way
(08:08):
of a project? Or the way social media could be
kind or unkind, like it's to get that in the curse.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yes, well I think we just have to look at
it that way to get them a curse. And whatever
you choose to believe about what people are saying is
up to you, right, you know, it's up to that
person that we've all taken on like whatever we're doing,
you know what I mean, Like this is my life.
Music is my life. I love it, And yeah, I
(08:37):
don't have to listen to the critics.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
When you're not in album mode, right and you're just
at the house, do you sing Mariah Carey songs?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Or when you hear some Cause you can be anywhere
in the world.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You could be in a casino, you could be in Target,
and you are a playlist.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Do you listen to Mariah Carey?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Not really, but if it comes on, like something comes
on at the station with the radio this station.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Of course, I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
No, because sometimes like the man who's driving for me
will sometimes have on whatever he's listening to and one
of my songs will pop up and.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I'm like, oh, that's do you sing along with it?
Does it take you to a moment when you knew
you were recording that.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
No, if I had to sit and think about it,
then it would right right right.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I'm just like you know, that's in the background. I'm
listening to it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
But that's crazy though, even as your driver.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
If I was driving you and a Mariah Carey song
came on, I'll look at you in the rear view mirror,
I probably wouldn't even be working. I'll probably get fired.
Like day two, what the herry, Mariah, hold on my love?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
We got we got more. We got to hang out
more with Mariah Carey.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Y'all continue to hang out with It's in the neighborhood more,
Mariah carry up in here, Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
This is big Boy on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Big Boys Neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Beautiful day in the neighborhood, Ladies and gentlemen. The icon
herself is in the neighborhood. Mariah Carey. Do you have
a Mariah Carey playlist?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I think someone else made one for me. I don't know.
I didn't make it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Hey, dude, that's crazy because you're one of those people
that the world knows. How do you disappear aside from
just being in it, maybe being in the house. If
you just want a day where you can go out,
can you just go outside?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I can.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
But if I want to be happy with any random
pictures that might occur, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I gotta get it together a little bit. Just pull
it together, Pull together?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Gotcha? Do you trip off a house?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
That's always gotta be And now we're in an age
of gotcha. Now it could be fifteen beautiful pictures, but
it'd be that one picture that they know you. And
even with certain outlets, it'd be like such and such
and they'll use this picture.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So do you do?
But you're super conscious of that too.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Then I'm conscious of it. I don't.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
When I have a day off, I like to stay home,
go in the pool and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Like you know.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, but you got a hell of security because I
tried to send a drone over your house one day.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You like, big, come on you tacky. Yeah. I was
outside sending the drone and they was like, there's a drone.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Then you people like, oh, this big boy out there
being big boy once again. But you know how to
protect your privacy quite a bit though.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I do the best I can.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, man, And you're a beautiful lady, and it's one
of them things. You've been beautiful since a one, since
day one. Right, That's why with me, I choose to
kind of look like this, you know what I'm saying,
Like I could just go out and it's like, oh,
you know, like that's big. You know what I'm saying,
Like I don't I give them my perfect imperfections, you
know what I'm saying. So so when when you look
like this, nobody tripping, you know that was the time
(11:54):
for you to compliment me.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
My right, you are beautiful, Thank you, thank you gesus.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Like I did, you know, I don't know when we
break in.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I'm sitting here like Mariah carry bail me out here?
Good lord, when you go back into Mariah carry the
artist mode, how do you balance Mariah carry the artist
and not here? Will just fail over there? And Mariah
carried the parent? What the mom?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Oh the parent? I thought? Its panic?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Oh no, no, why.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Yeah, it's I'm always waiting to see my kids when
I go home, and whatever it is, when they're there,
it's just better.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right, And you got one of your little ones here.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yes, I don't know if she thinks she's little.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right, how young is she now?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
She's fourteen?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's crazy? How is it having having fourteen year old?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Fourteen year olds? It's amazing. But I just didn't want
to grow up, so.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Fall man, Hey dude, Maria, I look at my son
and my daughter. If I do like this for my son,
he know exactly what this means.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
If I do like this for my daughter, she knows
exactly what this means because they my son used to
lay on my chest.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He's six three six four now oh wow.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
You know, and it's difficult when you try to like
you know, yeah, it's totally different. But yeah, with my son,
if I just look at him and I go like this,
he know that I'm thinking about when he used to
lay on my chest. And then with my daughter, if
I do like this because she had a little diaper
and so I would hold her like this, and you
gotta you cherish those moments.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Man. Yeah, all right, what about your kids into music?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
They're both kind of into music.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I don't want to speak for them because every time
I say something for them, they're.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Like Roy carry embarrassing her children.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Mariah, hold on, my love, We got we got more.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
We got to hang out more with Mariah Carey, y'all
continue to hang out with It's in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
More Mariah Carey up in here, Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
This is big Boy on demand, Big Boys Neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Alrighty, let's get all iconic up in here, your big interview.
We got the one and only Mariah Carey in the neighborhood.
We were in Japan. It's probably much bigger for me
than it was for you, but we were in Japan.
It was July, uh huh, and they you know all
I Want for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It was it's probably one hundred something.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Degrees outside, yep, but that is the song that they
wanted to hear, and you turned the whole spot into Christmas.
It was like elves and dancing people and snow and everything.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Man, it's all I Want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Did you know that that was going to be Did
it feel like the impact when you recorded it, that
it was going to be something that was going to
stand the test of time.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I hoped it would, but I wasn't thinking about it.
I was just this is my first Christmas song I'm writing.
I'm going to do my best at this, and I
love Christmas so I'm going to do this.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
But and you know what's wildaf that, Mariah, is that
you wrote All I Want for Christmas? Yes, because we
grow up off of like jingle bells, and and you
totally changed.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
What a like.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
You know how there's a certain song like fifty Gold
it's your birth do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Like that to me?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Took over the birthday song with him and Stevie Wonder
took over Happy Birthday. Yes, you know what I'm saying.
And you took over Christmas like you can't go Christmas
without All I Want for Christmas? Do you ever get
tired of it?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
No, especially when it's during the Christmas season. I love it. It
makes me happy.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
And again when I first wrote it, I had no
idea the longevity that it was going to have or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
So here I am, what about Mariah?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
When people invite you to stuff, right, and you do
show up, right, do you know that they're inviting.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You just because you know?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
And when they invite me, like, like what type of thing?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Just like if somebody invite you to a party, Okay,
it's you know what I'm saying, It's like Mariah Carey.
And then you get there and it's like a instrumental
of your songs.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
You know, that's called a paid event.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Will you do shows with the with the newness that's coming.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We're gonna do some with the you know, with the
single for sure, because I'm traveling and doing that.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Mimi anniversary which you.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Don't have, and I I believe in the anniversaries, but
not birthdays.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Right right right, well, I believe in an reversaries too.
Now there it is, right there. I'm a changed man.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
The anniversary of anything, Yeah, twelfth birthday.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Whatever this is.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
This is our anniversary of being live back in the
neighborhood together.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Do you know when the last time we were live
in the neighborhood together?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
A while ago?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Do you know when? Though?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I have a vague recollection of possibility, But I don't
think I know when.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Can you tell me? Because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I say it, but then people would start countating.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Mariah hold on my love. We got we got more.
We got to hang out more with Mariah Carey, y'all
continue to hang out. What's in the neighborhood more? Mariah
carry up in here. Big boys neighborhood are pointing a
big boy from Big Boys Neighborhood on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Here's another in case you missed.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The moment with us.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Mister X to the Z Exhibit in the neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I think it's going to shock people, and I think
this album is because I'm speaking from a position of power.
I'm speaking from a different place of maturity. There's different
lessons in each one of these records that I've learned personally,
and I'm putting it in the.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Most entertaining way possible.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
But it's not just pointless raps. It's not just it's
things specific to me, but it's relatable to the audience.
And I think, you know, being vulnerable, being able to
express myself so clearly, and being able to be happy
(17:59):
in my and be confident in my skin. I don't
think I've had that in my other records. I've had
bright spots of that, you know, But now this is
kind of like I feel from top to bottom, from
the first note to the last note.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It's exactly the way I want to thank you for listening.
It is a big Boy Big Boy's Neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You can catch more of us right here on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
