Speaker 4 (01:24):
Well, me and my brother was in the womb, but
we had this group when we first got to Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You know, we was about fifteen years old, just like
first want to go to somebody.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
So we was in another group when we first got
to Atlanta. Not we first got there. When we first
started singing, and it was two other guys and we
sang it church picnic. Kyle was at the church picnic.
He came to at the church and said, listen, man,
I got a group. Once y'll dropped the other two
and come get with a group.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So we didn't know that though.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
We used to see kyl Ord anyway because me and
him was basketball players and his cousin was playing on
our team. So we knew each other from that in passing.
And then once we actually sat down and talked and
we realized he could sing two, we put it together.
It was another member at first, and uh, he fill
it out somewhere along the way and we picked that winger.
(02:35):
And you know what I mean, I've been together ever since.
This is we about fifteen we've been in this group.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Was Now, where did the name come from?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The name came from?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
If y'all remember I think back to I think I
want to say like ninety one ninety two. It was
a group came out of Atlanta called a Few Good Men.
They were signed to the face. So just the name
of their group got me looking at movie titles. And
during this time, I happen to be at Candy House, right,
and she had all these movies, like all.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
These just you know, rolls of movies.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I started looking at the movies and when I
seen the movie jagged it It's almost like it jumped out, like.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Hey, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And so and so I said to them and everybody
was like yeah, like not one person pushed back.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Everybody was like, yeah, that's the dope.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
And this was after y'all were already signed to had
a relationship with Candy.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Before, yes, only like a year, like a year prior
to us signing.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Okay, And what was the relationship was it just like
music stuff like well, we went.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
To school Werena went to school with Candy. They was
in high school together.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Graduate.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So when we did our demo, he had took the
Candy House just playing it for just like you know,
getting her approval. Wasn't even trying to get a deal
or nothing. She liked it so much she was like
she called win the one day, like you still in
that group, y'all, still you are still trying to get
a deal. He was like, yeah, so we made the
deal with Kenny. If you get us a deal, you
can manage us. She got us a deal, So she
(03:58):
was our first manager.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
She gets to the money in the business side.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
How was she?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
How was she as a manager in the early days.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean she was getting a seat with us.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
But I'll always tell anybody, like as far as being
an active artist and trying to manage, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Manages somebody's like having a kid, right, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Mean, you gotta be up for them.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Five thirty phone calls and it's just a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So, and also to shout out to Tiny too, because
she was just as instrumental from them. Without Tiny, she
was like the direct link to JD on the business.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Side, you know what I mean. So without her, when I.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Did y'all want to sign a Social death at the time,
was that the goal? Like that's where y'all wanted to go?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I mean, we had to be honest. We had a
couple of deals on the table. It was rowdy Mercury,
Mercury at the time. I remember Mercury. It was rowdy
Mercury and then Social Deff came in there at the
end of those offers, and I just think, you know,
Kenny did what she said was what she was going
to do, and that meant a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So we was gonna do it, we said we was
going to do.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
How instrumental was the Jamaine de Prix uh with y'all now, like,
do y'all still like call him about music? You know?
For all original parts by one?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I know, I mean, you.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Know, Jamaine, that's our guy forever. But you know, as
much as I love Jamaan, I hit Jamn about all.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Kinds of ship. But you know, it's it's rough to
get your man right if he ain't a part of it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I've had I've had a tough time.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Getting his involvement in things that he wasn't really you know, spearheaded. Honestly,
Jamaine is why we are writers and producers, well at
least producers. We was always writers, But through dealing with him,
we're not like, you can't just put us on the background.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We're not, you know what I mean. You can't tie
our hands, you can't.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
So we figured out how to go make beats ourselves,
you know what I mean, learn how to play the
keys ourselves learn how to do this stuff for so
he's a big reason why. And I'm not saying the
negative way, just understanding that it takes more than just
one man to stop when we try to.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And one thing about us, man, we're not petty, you
know what I'm saying. For us, we kind of respect
the blending, the chance, so we expect the blessing to
keep it moving.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
But we was already a SELC contained group.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
He's already writing it was already like what we're gonna
wear on the show.
Speaker 10 (06:16):
So we really didn't need anything but the money. I guess.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
We don't need.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Nothing but everything.
Speaker 10 (06:28):
But yeah, but much love to JD Like, we just
know it's a lot of bashing when it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Comes to none of that. We ain't doing that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What did y'all leave SoCal Death?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And why we actually so so death left us? You know.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
He had a situation with Columbia. They couldn't get on
the same page, so he left and went to what
do you.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
First? Right?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So he went to Arista and Columbia basically told him
if you want them, you don't have to pay it
for a football team, And Jenny.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Was like, I don't want him that.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Bad let him take us in so we wanted to go.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
But you know what I mean, it wasn't in the
cars at the time.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
When you left that time, that's when it completely stopped.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He never said I'm not writing for your producers because
you weren't on the label at that time.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
We got back together with you made two different times.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
We went we went to death Genuine Jamaine, and then
we did an album with Eat two of Jamaine. So yeah,
I mean, we've we've You know, music, the music game
in itself is a complicated business, and I think you know,
keeping your relationships tight is something that you have to do.
But at the same time, if you can't get on
(07:45):
the same page with somebody, you have your own goals
and your own dreams.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
And that's what you got to follow, you know what
I mean. And that's what we did.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Know one that you'll still like, let's get married and
promised and all that, Like how does that feel? The
not that I just saw a video went viral with
somebody had proposed to the girl. Reactions from that other
than it being funny and they should have picked somebody else,
like like knowing that that ship still hit like that.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's love love. It's an amazing feeling.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Like you know, we saw much the other day, Like
we definitely didn't get it to be a one hit wonder, right,
and we definitely wanted to have a you know, a
career that was you know, filled with you know, longevity.
So when you see things like that, you realize you
doesn't hit your mark a little bit, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
What I mean. But we ain't done, no, but yeah,
it feels good though.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Breaking twenty five years of the Jay Harbery. What are
some like story? Because I know you guys have probably
been like just reminiscent because it's twenty five years and celebrating.
What are some stories that, like, we probably never heard
in the making of some of the iconic songs. So
let's get married. He can't love you like that? Like Brian,
you're laughing. It's it's hard.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You were close.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Like, we got so many stories, but it's like, how
many of them is really suitable for TV?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
This goes on TV through t B though, so you can.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Say whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
For you a drink? Are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I saw an interview, Uh Beyonce, Dad like threw y'all
off of a.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You like when it happened, somebody said to us, y'all
gonna be talking about this for the rest of and
then it was damn right, y'all still be talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know what happened.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
So basically, we was on tour with Destney Child and
at the time, Matthew was our manager, so we were
sharing the tour bus, us and Child. We all on
onet To was that boss, and so, you know, I
think it's probably well documented that LaToya has had different
issues with, you know, the crew. This particular night, Latoya's
(10:09):
mom was on the rolls shot and miss Pam obviously
had issues with the crew. So Matthew called, even though
he wasn't in the city. He called back to the
role manager like, you know, miss Pam ain't getting on
that bus, and we was like, well, we're not leaving
her in the middle of Louisa, so.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
She is gonna get on the bus.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
That dude had the police called on us, had us
removing So yeah, I mean, but you know, we just
felt like, whatever the issue is, it can't be that
serious that you're gonna leave somebody out here and you're not.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Even here with somebody. If it was your mom.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Hey man, you know, we're from I mean originally, but
we're from the South, and you know, so we kind
of felt that like man Mama's boys, we had an obligation,
but we wanted to Matthew. You by the bath through
at one of your concerts, shouts out to Matthew, but
(11:12):
not going by that Bathtory.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
So because you were doating a tabby at the time, Brandon.
And then so she told the story in the radio station.
She was saying that you took up for the group,
like you you were the one about to go off,
so you was.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
At the bathroomall we all did. But I definitely I
went in the room with the girls. You know, I
just seen it like like I said, like if it
was my mother, it would have been worse than that,
like I would have turned it would have it would
have gotten nasty and ugly. So I didn't want it
to go that far. So I tried to have a
conversation with the girls. I couldn't talk to Matthew. He
(11:45):
didn't he didn't make himself available. But you know, I
tried to make the other girls, who you know was
in the group with LaToya, you know, support her, and
they all just kind of let me know that they
had different issues with LaToya and her mother, and that's
why it was this even to be fair of them,
because I talked to Kelly about us after that, and
it got to a point where she even felt like, well,
(12:06):
at this point, it's out of my hands. Once Matthew
took control of it, they didn't feel like they even
had much of us say anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So you know what I mean, it.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Is what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I didn't want to ask too. They used to put
Pick one twelve against you guys, right absolutely, and it
was it was a thing. Was it ever a beef
or was it just always fun?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It was Charlemagne did it? Man? Man?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It was never a real beef, Like I don't know
how many people knowing this with them guys like brother stuff.
Like out of all the male groups we've been on
shows with or just been around or in our era,
I should say One twelve is our closest friend. So yeah,
it was never a real beef. But it got a
little testy.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right at what point it what happened?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
What was the reason When we was coming back from
a tour we was on and we was pulling into.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
The city, men, y'all kicked them out.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
We just heard them on the radio talking to talking
to trash and me and Cot just being a bee
line and where they was at.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I'll take my brain.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was just me and here. We knew how far
was there. We didn't even care. We was ready to
do whatever had to be.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Remote was a remote one O three, Ryan Cameron playing
in Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
He was playing the hollywoods. You know how old that
is planning Hollywood. So they was doing the album. I
guess the release.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
It was something. They were doing something.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
They were doing something and live remote.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
They was subliminately talking and he said, uh, well you
know whatever, No.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
He said this, I'll never get it.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I don't know if Ryan Camera had asked him the question,
but you said something like how could Jacket be the
best group they got to They only got two lead singers,
a cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Man, and I said, hey, wow that guy nothe That
happened like nothing happened. We wanted bro. I was sleep
that day. I don't know, ain't written nobody else.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
And I honestly think like Ryan, because they were trying
to put they was really trying to put us on
tour together. So Ryan was trying to create something to.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like to drive the traffic.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
But you can't telling uh like he was taking a
second and we could talk ship back really good.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know what I mean. But you wouldn't say that nowhere.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
I mean because I actually I was the first person
ever seen that group before you know what, I'm the
one turned them onto their management.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
They had to did before us, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
So it's almost like just like bred he was almost
in one like they were gonna try to put me
in there for seven that you know. I mean again,
and this was before I was in Jagged Edge, you
know what I'm saying. So again like we do need
guys yay high. But again so but like I said,
you can't it start something without letting us know and come.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
On with the fake beef. A lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Are doing that.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I ain't tell y'all wouldn't have been with.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
His RMB singers because I mean, I've seen y'all go
crazy turn a lot of times. Do you feel like
as an R and B singer, you think people take
a soft and sometimes you got.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
To prove yourself. Situation get jumped, you want to, but
your is getting jumped.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
But pretty much nothing.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And I talked about it sometimes, you know, like that
stigma to me is no one's play it out. Number two.
I don't know them rmy niggas. Who'll be talking about?
Who is the niggas? Like, I don't know who they are?
Speaker 10 (15:51):
All get it in.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
I don't know. Of course we know Tred come on down.
We know crazy ass Chris, come on person pleasure everybody
you can think out.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I really know. I don't know them niggas, but it's
not easy win what it is. We're from the same places.
They grew up in the R and B.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
How often do people bring up the Cisco fight.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
They spared that man, because that's my man. You know,
we're from.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Message to do some flips in there. We're trying to
do something about how you say top I had the
sun him.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It wasn't about nothing. It was messing around.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Yeah, ended up getting you know, I guess he end up.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Said yeah, yeah, he was getting. Actually I was chilling
and I ain't fingna due.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I know.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I wasn't the aggressive, but I went with the bullship
either like chill out and if you can it's on
the video, if you can see, I'm like, yo, man,
chill out. And he was trying to like, oh man,
I'm losing this, you gotta lose.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He didn't throw not one.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
He wasn't really doing them, yea, the walk out on
the fast and that bodyself, he was already.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
Gone, your squashed all yah, yeah, yeah, you know, you know, you.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Know, quiet as it's kept. We fucked with all the groups.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Some of them have had issues with us, with everybody, man,
straight up, I got respect for all of them all.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Now, there was a time where I feel like R
and B died out a little bit. Right now was
back like crazy, everybody doing an R and B party,
R and.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
B every city.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So during that time when R and B died a
little bit, how did you guys survive?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Because I seem tours slow down, music slow down for
R and B. Everybody's saying R and B died.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
How did y'all none of it?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Like us, We never had a period where we wasn't booked,
you know. I think that's probably why the music hasn't
come as often as it should, because we've been on
the road, you know what I mean. So at this
point we kind of looking at our career like would
we be happy, like just torn for the rest of
our lives, No, because we creators and we really and
(18:52):
we really are musicians, So you know that's why we
that's why we came with this out. And I ain't
gonna lie. I never respected it. Noway, you can't just
shut down the whole time. What's your complaint? What all
R and B sound? Don't all hip hop sounded?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Don't like?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
It's the genre exactly, That's exactly what genre that's going
to be inside that.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
So what is gonna be? What can we expect different
from all original parts?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Like?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Where did that title come from?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
You?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
And just for the record, y'all know they're not bumping
this in the trains disco. All Original parts, you stupid?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
Know, crazy like, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
They're gonna come.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It just signifies the fact that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
You know, even not even not even just our era,
since groups have been a thing, they've all broken up,
you know what I mean? And Jackson's broke even Jackson,
So you know, us being the one group who's never
broken up, we wanted to kind of capitalize on that.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's why it's called All Original Parts.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Do you ever get worried to Oklaham, No, no, do you
guys ever get worried that like trying to top the
how big your other songs are?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Like no, no, no, I mean I guess you know,
there's a possibility that we might not ever have songs
bigger than It's.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
A possible you know, music that ever again.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Right, But I just think we don't let it stop
the creative process.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's the same for us because.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
And I mean we was people understand like one hundred
percent responsible for our music. So it's the same same chemistry,
same guy saying, you know, same wheels on the car.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what I'm saying. So we don't look at
We just go in there and do what we do.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
And and what Brian is saying, I mean we this album.
Said that other day was at an interview. You can't
look at this eleventh album, all the original parts like
you look at Jay Hartbury. You feel what I'm saying, Like,
give yourself a chance to sit down, listen to the
song and just let it flow. You feel what I'm saying,
(21:16):
cause certain songs grow on you slow and before you
know it, you be like yo, this ship.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
You know what I'm saying. At first it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
But now you know what I'm saying, So please don't
come up to us talking about this ain't gotta be.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
If you want to hear that, take your head.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Remember when y'all made some of those classic records, and
do y'all know they were gonna be smashed as soon
as you made it?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Like when you made Let's Get Married, you made promise.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Did y'all know, like, oh, this is gonna be it?
We did?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Kind I ain't gonna lie like we did, you know,
and you know even when you look at songs like
he can't love you right, every on we ever put out,
we understood what it should be doing like we understood
the only reason to drop. He came before Let's Get
Married was because he can't sounded like nothing on the radio.
We knew Let's Get Married was gonna be the biggest,
but we knew if you come in a song like
(22:13):
this it sounds like nothing, it's gonna make that role
for Let's get Married even bigger.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And we kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Get married gonna be that legacy so that when y'all going,
your kids going, your.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Kids kids going to heavy. This man was mad that
we dropped. He can't love you, Let's get married.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It just did something to you know what, I'm like, what.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
You don't want to drop this on?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
But that's why I never put my opinion on a
record like that. You know what I'm saying, because at
the end of the day, I knew he can't love
you was super dope. It was a smash but let's
get married. And you know again, I'm one of them
anxious guys.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's the set up about now that brocause let's get married.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
The whole time were all doing those songs.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What was right?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You understand?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Like we was writing song eighteen nineteen years old. We
talked about one reason we went there route is because
what preceded us was what Josie freaking you are, Kelly
freakingly that was.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It was so prevalent that that was the thing, like
how do we we don't want to do we don't
want to just spit in with you.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Saying that back then, a lot of that was sex.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
You know, y'all were young and uh promised, Brandy you
wrote that for.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No for me, for me, for me, I've been feeling
this question. She did that interview.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Listen, We're We're a team song we're a songwriting team, right,
so no matter what my piece of the song may
be about me, that don't mean the whole song is
about that, you know what s Because I think when
you're a songwriter, it's not always an exact story. Sometimes
pieces of a story that you're turning into one story.
(24:10):
So yeah, there was a piece in there a bottle time, Yeah, yeah,
but my part wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
But I love.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You know, I was going ask you, do you have
a problem. I feel like nowadays, brothers don't beg for
the vagina.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
They don't got to. We don't make them. The girls
don't make it.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Not even that they don't, is that the girls don't
make them.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
He can't you.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
He was outside her house, you know, you.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
Had to lead up and just like you know, take
about an hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So you were you were like hell, press to not
let it go. Just a lot different.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Now, how does that affect the right now? Because now
it's nobody's begging for nothing no more?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Right, I mean.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Next week, I mean with us, you know, we're trying
to like even on when our last independent releases, we
had a song called I forgot what it was called,
but we talked about They talked about how you know
love ain't cool no more. Our goal is trying to
make it cool again.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
If you love too much?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
To me, that's how can how can you loving somebody
make you a simp? Like that thought is some simp ship.
If you ask me like that, don't make no sense
to me, you know what I mean. So that's what
we're still coming from. Coming from there then, and we're
still coming from that same point of view, you know
what I mean. I think that's you know, it's too
much homeboy love out that man, it's all good to
have your homeboyler.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Kick it with the home about the guys that necessarily,
like you need your team, right, that's necessary thing.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You don't want to put too much such attention there
and then your girl feeling some type of moment.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
But you see in the club, I mean v I
P section for the girls like back in the day used.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
To be you see like everything because because like sometimes
I see.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Them talking and he was like, man, I'm a killing
niggas when I hit the streets, and then we used
to be like, I'm gonna kill them all.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
How I used to dress back in the day, they
used to dress.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
When you think of like an R and B group.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
You know, it's nice and you know and all that.
Niggas used to dress like they about to shoot the.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Thist game.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Like some thug.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I used to love saying about the video, like all.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Right, you got into your car wracks, we broke your neck? Yeah, man,
break there there, what happened?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
And I break that down after you said, come on,
break that down, comedian, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
When I was in two car accidents inside of like
nine months, damn. The first one, I just broke my
leg in two places. I had some risk contusions and.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
A not on my head. And then the second one,
what happened in the car?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Did you fall asleep?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I was coming down the street right you know how Atlanta,
we got all those you know, do a you turn
to turn? So I'm coming this way. It's a car
sitting right here, and I'm knowing.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
He see me.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I see him, and as I get this close, then
he wants to turn. Even though I stopped my breaks
as hard as I could, I still hear him. He
was at fault, like I said, just tore my car up,
tore me up. But the next one was really That's
what really messed me.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
My jack knife.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
No ta call a t B when somebody righting a
million car. I was sitting down a light and that accident.
I'm sitting down a light and I hear these shots
rang out and next thing you know, I guess the
person who got hit he lost control of his vehicle
and he just swore right into my vehicle on the
driver side.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I broke my neck. I had five broken rivers on
this side.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
One on this side. I got a scout blaceration right here.
A lot of it was a lot with that one.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
I know, it's pretty emotional for Hall and you talked
about it, and you got emotional for the rest of
you guys when you all heard about the second accident,
Like what were you guys reaction and like kind.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Of what was that like for you all?
Speaker 10 (28:34):
As I was, I was scared because I didn't know
what to expect.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know what, I'm.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Gonna keep it. I don't have my license, but don't
worry about that.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
This man ain't never had a license.
Speaker 10 (29:01):
But but I mean, you know, my.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Wife was like, you know, once I heard it, I'm like, Babe,
I got to get out of here. I'm damnar falling
down the steps to get in my and but in
my mind, I'm just praying.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
I'm like, Lord, please don't come.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I mean, it's such a cliche, like I say to
hear about artists playing accident, motorcycle accident, car wreck.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
So I'm and then it's like this is the second one,
you know. And so we got up there.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
When I got there because I know the other guys
are showing up, I seen him and I'm like, okay.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
Okay, he's not well, but it's still him. He won't
take a nick brainstort.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Take this up.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
I said, what good?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I'm like, he was in pain, you know, and like
for me, you know, it was the worst day of
my life. I ain't gonna lise you because the way
I heard because somebody told me. First they told me
he got shot because they heard the gun shots. They
said he got shot, then he got hit. So you know,
you know, this is my guy, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
(30:03):
you know what I mean. I can't say about it either.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
Yeah for me, I mean, you know again, I'm gonna
always say this man, a family that prays together stays together,
you know what I mean. So I merely just dropped
on my knees. Man and sent one up. You know
what I mean, God fixed this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's all. Leave it and put it in your hands.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
The guy that got shot that he make it or.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
What kept you, uh during your healing process, like what.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
My girl, my kid?
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, I ain't gonnae They took care of me. Everything.
It was when I first got to the house, it's
all good. Been a hell of a year, man.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
So seriously, when you're breaking neck, you just like yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Like I said, when I got there, you know one
thing about him, you know, he was trying to be
in the best spirit.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Still it was hard, but he was trying, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
So that got me too, just seeing how strong he
really is, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, do
you look at life differently as a group and just people,
because it's it.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Has to change the way you look and the way
you move. So when you say good bye to your
girl and your wife and your kids, it has to
change all of that, all of us. You just know
when it's that time and think that it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Let me tell you something, man, were so blessed to
be here. You gotta think like fifteen. We made each
other at fifteen. You know, we had our love fights
and gripes, but we understood the mission and that's to
stay together first, well, keep God first, stay together first
again after that, and we love what we do, but
(32:03):
we love each other. And we knew our mission was,
like you said, a lot of songs back then, R
and B was a little soft. It was still good songs,
but still it was kind of soft, and then you
had some that was kind of freaky, and so we
definitely came up with the concept where we won't speaking
to behalf of brothers like dj inby Jagged Is.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
You wear Timbo's, who wear Jordan's. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
We know we're just not throwing on the suit and
be more relatable about hey, I'm hurt, you hurt me, baby,
and we need to talk about this, you know what
I'm saying, or you know, or I promised to stay
there with you, although you know you may be going,
I want to learn what I need to do better.
So we knew that the message was more powerful coming
from something real instead of something that the label or
(32:50):
the audience kind of expect. We know it's a little
deeper than that you know, usually has a message behind it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I'm super glad of the rock we took. Man.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
We never wanted to wanted to exclude anybody from from
my music or you know what I mean, like the school,
this certain sales to this certain our block, or this
certain type of people.
Speaker 10 (33:08):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
One thing about we all have a common is we
have love somebody or wanted to love somebody, you know
what I mean. And that's a universal language for us.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Love, So that's what we're going to promote.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
And I always want to know how you always stayed
so humble, right, been in this industry a long time,
and every time I see y'all or you see your fans,
you guys always smile, You always take you always shake hands,
and you don't see that A lot put that into
you because, like I said, I know you guys a
long time, and you guys treated me the same. When
I was on radio, just a message was and y'all
(33:40):
don't know, but I has to tell people all my cousin,
but you're not black.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is here? I used to tell anybody else my cousin
for real, like that.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
One other time somebody said to me that y'all actually
could because because you are you from up top to
you're from up North, you're from they're just saying like
it ain't a lot of y'all up top like that
you might be late somewhere.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
Class that.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Maybe that's really crazy.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
To really crazy, but that's really really important to us
our fans. Man, We we do recognize that, like that's
that's one of the main reasons we're still here as well.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Yeah, and you know what, like that's part of the
reason for us for our image being what it is.
Like we felt like the acts that came a force
was almost like this fairy tale untouchable thing. We never
wanted that. We just spoke regular niggas that singing, you
know what I'm saying, That's all we wonder.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
We want to look like.
Speaker 7 (35:06):
So, I know, y'all chose the songs that you made
because you said you wanted to cut through, But how
did you choose who you worked with in the song
it's already for y'all, y'all all l together, But y'all
were very particular about who you featured on songs and
who worked But how did y'all at eighteen nineteen choose that.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Now a lot of a lot of time was Jamaine
who chose that?
Speaker 4 (35:22):
But when it wasn't you know, even back then in
our early twenties, teenage years, we sit down at a
table like a board room, and we have ideas and
we toss them around, and you know, some don't make it,
some do. But we're very intentional about the things that
we're doing. So we sit down, we discussed it.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Y'all got a favorite song on the album?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
It changed every day to it is the single. I'm
gonna keep it reading.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I'm saying, who loved the singles that's going on?
Speaker 12 (35:55):
He's like that on every Album's broging with She.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
From the heart, you know what I mean? But so
what a time we get a man we get a bop?
Come on, man, that's the one that's man like. That's
a bop? What is what is the.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Just might get it?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Be careful what you wish for, because.
Speaker 10 (36:16):
You just get it.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
I think for me right now, it's forever love love
for me. Right now, for me, I'm gonna go with
she said what she said, what she said.
Speaker 10 (36:30):
We're not just text man said they can't get past that.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
She said what she said it's gonna grab you. It's
one of those songs like if you ain't ready, you're
gonna be crying.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
You don't know why you might cry. We're playing it.
Listen to that.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
Yesterday, talk about it. You guys don't have any special
guests on the tour.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
All the way all the way?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
What's your favorite song?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Signing you turn up loud enough, I'm not lawyer to
to what's favorite, because I mean, we was playing the
album the other day, the song whore.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
He didn't switch.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
Oh, special guests on the tour, like y'all bring anybody out,
anybody popping out.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Yeah, but it's a couple of things been offered to
us we just haven't necessarily accepted.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So we'll see. Even with Jagged, absolutely that's.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
The whole point of it, and we plan on doing that,
you know, throughout the spring. We probably take out a
bigger tour later, you know, midsummertime or something. But this
is just for to celebrate the twenty five years of
Jay Heartbreak and just still being here, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Honestly, you know, this idea was kind of live.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
It was kind of Liven's idea, and you know, we
just kind of fieled it and we thought, yeah, that
would be dope.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
So, like you said, it's only a few it's.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
About nine dates on that tour, right, and then when
that's over, it's it's probably out for the rest of
the song.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
You got some some songs that people love that I
don't know you're gonna be able to do on the tour,
not like the Nasty Girl to trade it.
Speaker 8 (38:17):
And if I come, you know, like.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
But that's the next thing I was going to say, Like,
we pay attention to our fans. I mean, we've had
people hold up signs like with Remedy on it. We
actually got cussed out one time overseas. Dude was shooting
a bird of us in the audience. He was giving
us a finger the entire show. So of course you
(38:44):
know we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Go out the entire show. I mean, well, you know
what I mean, we've seen it, you know, Verba. So
we went out in the crowd and after the.
Speaker 9 (38:53):
Show what not, and we've seen Approach was up and
was like, hey man, what's going on, Like, you know,
shooting us giving us a finger the time show.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
He was like, because y'all, y'all, do you know what
he said?
Speaker 4 (39:07):
I know the way y'all was running through those numbers.
Y'all won't gonna do my song, your song? He was like,
we don't even do this song. But now we've added
that in the show. We've got like a lot of
a bunch of new record shows along with what we are.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
But that's not where she was a louder and I
know what she was.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
I'm asking the question because I think you know people
I know for me, if I come out into midnight
with you guys, I do want to hear trade it
all is.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
My song, dat girls, my song.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Let me just say this too, right because we just did.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
We just had this conversation last night, right with each other,
No with another with the radio station. Diddy, that's you know,
that's my brother, that's our brother, like we've had a
good relationship with I can't speak on nobody else's you know,
it ain't my business, right, But at the end of that,
I can only deal with my interactions with the man,
and I'm talking about plenty of them. After being around
(39:57):
them thirty forty times, I never seen nothing offended me.
He's never offended me. He always made sure if he
was in his space, we felt welcome and like I said,
all the other things that other people they can have that. No,
I had an uncle win to Jeff for eleven let
me shout up my uncle Laric. I had an uncle
win to Jeff for eleven year and he was always
still just my uncle Laric. And then changed to the
(40:18):
point where he's some different guy because he did some
some messed up stuff. He's still my uncle Eric. And
it's the same with Diddy to me at this point.
You know, I don't know if he's in itself he's guilty,
but that's my brother and that's that's all I can say.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
But I do want to ask trade it all y'all surprised,
he called.
Speaker 10 (40:37):
Y'all, and.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
We got more songs with him than they do. We
get him like three four song.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's why he said the cheerleading in the rockers.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Get to the bottom. You know.
