And now I want to get a big time to
my mom, which is in She's in Jersey City right now.
She's battling with brust Can So that's my last parent living.
And I do go back and forth because you know,
I got a base pay in my house and stuff here,
but my mom comes before any of that. But she
knows the situation and just to go back and forth
and having her deal with what she's dealing with is

(08:21):
hard because medical sense there ain't worth nothing. So that
was up. They could get the donkey of the monks,
how about that. But other than that, I just want
to shout out Shovel Williams and just tell you, Mom,

we got some special guests in the building, gentlemen, Jagged Edge.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
In a minute.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's been a minute man, growing up a little bit,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I always like to say this.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
This is one of the groups that y'all guys don't
break up at all, y'all, but how.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
We see every r B group, there's always a break up.
There's always so tight.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
Man. We we like each other.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Half the group of us we love each other is
the one.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
That be fighting.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
I always like the stuff from the beginning when you
guys come here. So how did y'all guys form the group?
For people that don't know, how did Jagged Edge form?

Speaker 12 (09:47):
All?

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Right? Whoever want to take this?

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Well, me and my brother was in the womb, but
we had this group when we first got to Atlanta.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
You know, we was about fifteen years old.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Not we first got there, but when we first started singing,
and it was two other guys and we sang it
this church picnic. Kyle was at the church picnic. He
came to us at the church, but he said, listen, man,
I got a group. Once y'all drop the other two
and come get with it.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
So we didn't know that though.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
We used to see kyl Ord anyway because me and
him was basketball players and his cousin was playing on
our team.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
So we knew each other from that in passing.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
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 fills
without somewhere along the way, and we picked up Winger
and you know what I mean. I've been together ever since.
This is about fifteen that we've been in this group.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
Now, now, where did the name come from?

Speaker 5 (10:52):
The name came from if y'all remember, think back to
I think I want to say like ninety one ninety two.
It was a group came out of Atlanta called a
Good Men. They were signed to the face so just
the name of their their group got me looking at
movie titles. And during this time, I was happen to
be at Candy House, right and she had all these movies, like.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
All these just you know, rolls of movies.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
And I started looking at the movies and when I
seen the movie, jagged it It's almost like it jumped
out like.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
Hey, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (11:21):
And so I said to them and everybody was like yeah,
Like not one person pushed back.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
Everybody was like here, that's a dope.

Speaker 17 (11:28):
And this was after y'all were already signed to You
had a relationship with Candy before?

Speaker 7 (11:33):
Yes, only like a year, like a year prior to
us signing.

Speaker 18 (11:37):
Okay, And what was the relationship was it just like
music stuff.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Like well we went to school, We're gonna went to
school with Candy. They was in high school together, graduated.
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 are still trying to get a deal.
He was like, yeah, so we made the deal. Can

(12:00):
if you get us a deal, you can manage us.
She got us a deal, so she was our first manager.

Speaker 17 (12:07):
She gets to the money in the business side. How
was she has a manager in the early days, I
mean she was getting a.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
Seat with us.

Speaker 19 (12:15):
But I'll always tell anybody like as far as being
an active artist and trying to manage, you know, manage
somebody's like having a kid, right, you know what I mean,
you gotta be up for them five thirty phone calls
and it's just a lot.

Speaker 15 (12:26):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
So, and also to shout out to Tiny too, because
she was just as instrumental. Without Tiny she was like
the direct link to JD on the business side, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 14 (12:36):
So without her, when I how instrumental was the Jamain
dupree uh with y'all now, Like, do y'all still like
call him about you know, for all original parts Volume one?

Speaker 5 (12:46):
I know, I mean, you know, Jamain, that's our guy forever.
But as much as I love Jamame, I hit ja
man about all kinds.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
But you know, it's it's rough to get right, to
be honest, if he ain't a part of it.

Speaker 10 (13:01):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
I've had I've had a tough time getting his involvement
in things that he wasn't really spearheaded honestly, Jamaine is
why we are writers and producers, were at least producers.
We was always writers, But through dealing with him, we're
not like, you can't just put us on the back burner.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
We're not you know what I mean. You can't tie
our hands, you can't.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
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 us.
So he's a big reason why I'm not saying the
negative way, just understanding that it takes more than just
one man that to stop what we try to, you.

Speaker 11 (13:32):
Know what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (13:33):
And one thing about us, man, we're not petty, you
know what I'm saying. That for us, we kind of
respect the blessing. So we respect the blessing and keep
it moving. But we was already a selc contained, already writing,
was already but we're gonna wear on the show. So
we really didn't need anything but the money. I guess.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
A bunch of money. We need nothing but everything but yeah,
but much family.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
We just knows a lot of bashing when it comes.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, none of that. We ain't doing that.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
What did y'all leave Social Death and why we actually
Social Death left us. You know, he had a situation
with Columbia. They couldn't get on the same page, so
he left and went to what do you go.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
First?

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Right, So he went to Arista, and Columbia basically told
him if you want them, you'll have to pay it
for a football team. And Jenny was like, I don't
want him that bad. Let him take us, and so
we wanted to go. But you know what I mean,

(14:44):
it wasn't in the cars at the time.

Speaker 9 (14:45):
When you left that time, that's when it completely stopped.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
He never said I'm not writing for your producer because
you weren't on the label at that time.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
We got back together what you made?

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Two different times we went, we went to Death Jenuine
you made and then we did an album with two Jamn.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
So yeah, I mean we've we've You know, the music game.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
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
the same page with somebody, you have your own goals
and your own dreams, and that's what you got to follow,
you know, And that's what we did.

Speaker 14 (15:20):
Knowing that you're still like, let's get married and promised
and all that. Like, how does that feel that the
know that I just saw a video that went viral
with somebody had proposed to a girl reactions from other
than being funny and they should have picked somebody else, like.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
Like, knowing that that still hit It's love, man, It's
an amazing feeling.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
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 career that was
filled with longevity. So when you see things like that,
you realize you don't hit your mark a little.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
Bit, you know what I mean. But we ain't done no,
but yeah, it feels good.

Speaker 14 (16:01):
Trying an interview, uh, Dad, Like threw y'all off of
a tour.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
You know, like when it happened, somebody said to us,
y'all gonna be talking about this for the rest of
and the right y'all still.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Be talking about I know what happened.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
So basically, we was on tour with Desney Child and
at the time Matthew was our manager, so we were
sharing the tour bus us and Deny Child.

Speaker 7 (16:28):
We all on't want to.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Was that bus, 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 mom was
on the rolls shout and miss Pam obviously had issues
with the crew. So Matthew called, even though he wasn't

(16:49):
in the city. He called back to the role manager like,
you know, miss Pam ain't getting on that bus, and
we was.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Like, well, we're not leaving her in the middle of Louisa, So.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
She is gonna get on the bus that dude, had
the police called on us, had us removing y'allus. 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.

Speaker 7 (17:12):
Right, you're here and you're not even here with somebody.
If it was your mom.

Speaker 20 (17:20):
Was right, hey man, you know we're from the South
and you know, so we kind of felt that, like, man,
we're Mama's boys, and we had an obligation, but we
wanted to.

Speaker 21 (17:30):
Matthew, you by the Bathrow at one of your concert
you're gonna have yourst so shouts out to Matthew, but
not going by that band.

Speaker 17 (17:42):
The story goes because you were doing the tobby at
the time, Brendon. And then so she told the story
in the radio station. She was saying that you took
up for the group like you were the one about
to go off, So you was at the bathroom.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
Y'all did. But I mean, I definitely I went in
the room with the girls.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
You know, I just seen it like like I said,
like if it was my mother, it would have been
worse than now, 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 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,

(18:16):
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 bad. And even
to be fair of them, because I talked to Kelly
about this after that, and it got to a point
where she even felt like, well, 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, So.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
You know what I mean it is I didn't want
to ask too. They used to put One twelve against
you guys, right, and it was it was a thing?
Was it ever a beef or was it just always fun?

Speaker 5 (18:43):
It was Charlemagne did it man? Man, it was never
a real beef. Like I don't know how many people
know this with them guys like brothers stuff, Like out
of all the male groups we've been on shows with
just been around or in our era, I should say
One twelve is our closest friend.

Speaker 7 (19:05):
So yeah, it was never a real beef. But it
got a little test.

Speaker 9 (19:07):
Yet, at what point it will happened?

Speaker 7 (19:09):
What was the reason?

Speaker 5 (19:10):
When he's coming back from a tour we was on
and we was pulling into the city and me.

Speaker 7 (19:14):
And we heard kicked them out the.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
We just heard them on the radio talking's a trash
and me and Cot just being a beeline and where
they was at.

Speaker 10 (19:24):
I'll take my britage.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
It was just me and he.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
We knew how was that.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
We didn't even care.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
We was ready to do whatever it had to be
done with that back was something they were doing something.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
They were doing something and live remote.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
But you said something like how could Jack it be
the best group they got to They only got two
lead singers, a cheerleader on a rock rock man.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
And I said, hey, wow.

Speaker 12 (19:54):
That guy.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
We nothing.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
It happened like nothing happened. We want man was I
guess we bro.

Speaker 19 (20:03):
And I honestly think like Ryan because they were trying
to They were trying to put us on tour together.
So Ryan was trying to create something to like to
drive the traffic.

Speaker 7 (20:12):
But you can't tell enough. He was taking a second and.

Speaker 8 (20:17):
We were talking about really good you know what I
meant to say that nowhere.

Speaker 15 (20:23):
Doing that?

Speaker 18 (20:25):
How often do people bring up the Cisco fight?

Speaker 7 (20:31):
That man his wa.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Messag do some clips in there? Were trying to do
something about how you say top I had to sun them.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
So it wasn't about nothing.

Speaker 19 (20:54):
It was messing around, yeah right, and it ended up
getting you know, and then you know, I guess he
ended up.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
He said, yeah, yeah, he was getting.

Speaker 10 (21:06):
I was chilling and I ain't fornadu.

Speaker 20 (21:11):
I know I wasn't the aggressive, okay, but I went
with the boys chill out and if you can.

Speaker 10 (21:17):
It's on the video if you can see.

Speaker 20 (21:19):
I'm like, yo, man, chill out, and he was trying
to like, oh man, I'm losing this, You're gonna lose.

Speaker 7 (21:25):
He didn't throw not one. He wasn't really doing the
like ya the walk out look fast and everybodyself and
was already gone.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
So we go.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Your squashed all y'all, y'all you.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Know you know, you know what quiet as it kept?
We all the groups, some of them had issues with us, everybody, man,
straight up, I got respect for all of them all that, So.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
What is gonna be?

Speaker 14 (21:58):
What can we expect different from all Original Parts? Like
where did that title come from?

Speaker 5 (22:02):
You?

Speaker 14 (22:03):
And just for the record, y'all know they're not bumping
this in No Trains Disco.

Speaker 9 (22:07):
All Original Parts, you stupid.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's crazy.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
That's to.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Just signifies the fact that since groups have been a thing,
they've all broken up, you know what I mean, And
Jackson's broke up, even Jackson, So you know, us being
the one group who's never broken up, we wanted to
kind of capitalize on that.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
That's why it's called All Original Parts.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
When y'all made some of those classic records, and do
y'all know they were gonna be smashed as as soon
as you made it?

Speaker 9 (22:47):
Like when you made Let's Get Married, you made promise.

Speaker 10 (22:50):
Did y'all know like this is gonna be it?

Speaker 7 (22:52):
We did? Kind I ain't gonna lie like we did.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
You know, even when you look at songs like he
Can't Love You, right, every song 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.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
We knew Let's Get Married was gonna be the business song.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
But we knew if you come in a song like
this it sounds like nothing, it's gonna make that role
for Let's Get Married even bigger.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
And we kind of gonna be that legacy song that
when y'all going your kids, going to your kids, kids going.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
To this man was mad that we dropped he can't
love you.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Let's Get Married.

Speaker 7 (23:31):
It just did something to.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know what, I'm like, what man, you don't want
to drop this on?

Speaker 19 (23:38):
But that's why I never put my opinion on the
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.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
It was a smash.

Speaker 19 (23:46):
But let's get married, and you know again, I'm one
of them anxious guys.

Speaker 14 (23:49):
You know what, it's the setup and promise, Brandy, you
wrote that for me, for.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Me, I've been feeling this question. She did that interview. Listen,
we're we're a teen song. We're a songwriting team, right.
No matter what my piece of the song may be about,
that don't mean the whole.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Song is about that, you know, because.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
I think when you're a songwriter, it's not always an
exact story. Sometimes it's pieces of a story that you're
turning into one story. So, yeah, there was a piece
in there about the time.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Yeah, all we got more with Jagged Edge. When we
come back, Let's get into their new joint. It's called
just Might Get It. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning.

Speaker 10 (24:38):
Now.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
I feel like nowadays, brothers don't beg for the vagina.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Don't make the girls.

Speaker 14 (24:48):
Don't make it that they don't that the girls don't
make them.

Speaker 18 (24:54):
Can't.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
He was outside her house.

Speaker 10 (25:00):
Back then.

Speaker 20 (25:01):
You know, you had to lead up and just like
you know, you go take about an hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
You were like, hell, press to not let it go.
So it's just a lot different now. I think that's
you know, it's too much homeboy love out there. Man,
It's all good to have your.

Speaker 14 (25:18):
Homeboy music about the guys.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I mean nothing that necessarily like you need your team, right,
that's necessary thing. You don't want to put too much
attention there and then your girl feeling some type of moment.

Speaker 10 (25:37):
But you see in the club, I mean v I P.
Section for the girls are like back.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
In the day used to be like everything because because
like sometimes I see them talking and he was like, man,
I'm gonna killing when I hit the streets, and then
we needed to be like, I'm.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Gonna kill him.

Speaker 14 (25:55):
You used to dress back in the day, what do
you think of like an R and B group? You
know it's nice and you know, dress about to shoot
the thist game.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Like some thug.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
I used to love saying about video like, all right,
you got into a car wrass, we broke your neck.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Well, I was in two car accidents inside of like
nine months.

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
The first one, I just broke my leg in two places.
I had some risk contusions and a not on my head.
And then the second one.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
What happened in the car.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
Did you fall asleep or I.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Was coming down the street like you know how Atlanta,
we got all those you know, do a you turn
to turn?

Speaker 7 (26:44):
So I'm coming this way.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
It was a car sitting right here, and I'm knowing
he see me. 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 meant, jack knife tea
to call a t bone when somebody writing the middle

(27:06):
of your car. I was sitting down a light and accident.
I'm sitting down a light and I hear these shots
rang out. Next thing, you know, I guess the person
who got hit. He lost control of his vehicle and
he just swirred right into my vehicle.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
On the driver side. I broke my neck. I had
five broken rivers on this side. One on this side.
I got a stout laceration right here. A lot of
it was a lot with that one.

Speaker 17 (27:31):
I know, it's pretty emotional for Hall. We talked about it,
and you got emotional for the rest of you guys
when y'all heard about the second accident, like what were
you guys reaction and like kind of.

Speaker 18 (27:40):
What was that like for y'all as well?

Speaker 20 (27:41):
I was I was scared because I didn't know what
you know what I say, and I'm gonna keep it.
I don't have my license, but don't worry about that.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
This ma ain't never had a license. Ain't never.

Speaker 20 (28:06):
But but I mean, you know, my 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 my older and but in my
mind I'm just praying. I'm like, Lord, please don't come.
I mean, it's such a cliche, like I say, to
hear about artists playing accident, motorcycle accident, car wreck. So

(28:27):
I'm like and then it's like this is the second one,
you know, And so we got up there. When I
got there because I know the other guys are showing up,
I seen him and I'm like, okay, okay, he's not well.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
But it's still him.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
He won't take a Nick braainstor.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I'm like, he was in pain, and like for me,
you know it was the worst day of my life.
Ain't gonna ask 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 this, my guy,
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (29:01):
Like, yeah, you know what I mean. I can't say
about it.

Speaker 19 (29:12):
Yeah, and 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.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
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. That's leave it and put
it in your hands.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Do you look at life differently as a group and
just people, because it 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.

Speaker 9 (29:40):
You just know when it's that time, and it wasn't.

Speaker 20 (29:43):
Let me tell you something, man, were so blessed to
be here. You gotta think like fifteen. We met each
other at fifteen. You know, we had our little fights
and gripes, but we understood the mission and that's to
keep God first, stay together first again after that, and
we love what we do, but we love each other.
And we knew our mission was, like you said, a

(30:04):
lot of songs back then, R and B was a
little soft.

Speaker 10 (30:08):
It was still good songs, but still.

Speaker 20 (30:09):
It was kind of soft, and then you had some
of those 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 you wear.

Speaker 10 (30:20):
Timbo's who were Jordan's You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (30:23):
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. 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 song. We knew that the message
was more powerful coming from something real instead of something
that the label or the audience kind of expect.

Speaker 10 (30:46):
You know, it's a little deeper than that, you know,
musically has a message behind it.

Speaker 7 (30:50):
Yeah, I'm super glad of the route we took.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Man.

Speaker 19 (30:53):
We never wanted wanted to exclude anybody from from my
music or you know what I mean, like a school
of this certain sale to this certain I block, with
this certain type of people.

Speaker 10 (31:01):

Speaker 19 (31:02):
One thing about we all have a commonist. We have
love somebody or wanted to love somebody, you know what
I mean. And that's what universal language for was.

Speaker 10 (31:09):

Speaker 7 (31:10):
Love. So that's what we're going to promote.

Speaker 14 (31:12):
Now.

Speaker 17 (31:12):
I got some songs that people love that I don't
know y'all gonna be able to do on the tour
or not, like the Nasty Girl to trade it and
if I come out, just need to know likes.

Speaker 19 (31:27):
You took the words right out of my mouth. We've
got like a lot of a bunch of new record
along with what we are.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
That's not when she was a louder, and I know
she was.

Speaker 17 (31:36):
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 my song Nasty Girls my song.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Let me just say this too, right, Diddy, that's you know,
that's my brother, that's our brother. Like we've had a
good relationship. 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.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
After being around him thirty forty times, I never seen
nothing offended me. He's never offended me.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
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.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
Have that now.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
I had an uncle Winn and Jeff for eleven Let
me shout up my uncle Laireic. I had an uncle
Win Jeff for eleven year and he was always still
just my uncle Laiic and then changed to the point
where he's some different guy because he did some some
messed up stuff. He's still my uncle Aiic. 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 10 (32:34):
But I do want to ask trade it off.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Y'all surprised, he called y'all and.

Speaker 7 (32:43):
Jazz it jazz. We got more songs with him than
they do, We getting like three four songs with him.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
That's why he said. The cheerleading in the Rock Rocket.

Speaker 7 (33:01):
You know.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
The album.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Definitely pick it up right.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
Now and we appreciate you guys.

Speaker 18 (33:08):
When the tour start March.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Twenty sixty, Dallas, Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
It is Jagged Edge, It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
Good morning everybody.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
It's DJ n V Jess Hilarious.

Speaker 6 (33:20):
Charlamagne, the Gud We are the Breakfast Club. Lawna ROAs
is here as well, and we got some icons legends. Today,
ladies and gentlemen, we have new audition and Boys to.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
Men they're going on tour together. I feel like this
should have been happening right. Why did it take so long?
Who wants to start?

Speaker 22 (33:45):
I think that there's a lot of logistics that go
with having two groups, two groups with such great success.
In order to get that together, scheduling has to be right. Also,
the you know what I mean, the energy has to
be right, climate has to be right. And I just
believe that this is the time. God put this time
as the time to show the world what this, this

(34:07):
whole vibe is all about. New addition, Boys to Men
Tony Bax and it's a real thing, and this is
the moment God placed it right here.

Speaker 9 (34:15):
Now his boys to Menfield.

Speaker 6 (34:16):
I got to ask, because you guys, they were your idols,
right they still are still you seeing them.

Speaker 9 (34:22):
You know, when y'all had to show in Philly, y'all
come to the bus and you're singing.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
And.

Speaker 10 (34:28):
Well, you know that's not actually how it went, you
know what I'm saying. No, no, no, I don't mean to.

Speaker 22 (34:33):
I don't mean to, but you know, but you know,
like in order in order for the story to to
to actually be uh told in the movie, sometimes you
have to you know, make it all go together and sequence,
you know, for people to see.

Speaker 10 (34:47):
So there's truth to that. But it was Michael Bibbins,
Ricky and and Ron.

Speaker 22 (34:54):
They were actually coming off stage at the Powerhouse and
they were in Philly, and they we were introducing that
you guys were going to be DBD and uh we
had just by the time they came off stage, we
had just snuck backstage.

Speaker 10 (35:08):
We passed past us back before we got backstage.

Speaker 22 (35:10):
As soon as we got there, they were coming off stage,
and I guess, uh, Nate asked Ricky can we sing
for him?

Speaker 10 (35:18):
You know what I'm saying, And Ricky was like, yeah,
got it.

Speaker 20 (35:20):
Tape y'all said, He said, hey, yeah, yeah, got it
tape and we was like, no, we ain't got no tape.

Speaker 10 (35:29):
And he was like, well, y'all need to tape. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 22 (35:31):
He started writing down the address, but then Nate was like, yo,
let me go to BIV. So he's like, BIV, can
we sing for you? And he was like, can y'all
do it right now? Boom we busted into can you
standing right in acapella? So it was backstage. It wasn't
at a tour bus, but you know what I mean,
the story nonetheless, it definitely resonated.

Speaker 9 (35:50):
Wow, the tour bus was more exciting.

Speaker 10 (35:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah right, there was a
lot more sexy.

Speaker 7 (35:57):
The US was sexy.

Speaker 8 (35:59):
I do want to ask, you know, every every artist, manager, artist,
executive relationship has its highs and lows. When you look back,
what was some of the biggest misunderstandings or lessons y'all
learned from you know, each other?

Speaker 23 (36:10):
I guess you could say, like when any relationship, I
mean in a group, because.

Speaker 24 (36:14):
Even when BIBB signed his years ago, it was almost
like him being the fifth member at the time, and
I think it was more like a dynamic type thing.
You know, we learned a lot about each other's personalities
as well as just understanding, you know, how the business went.

Speaker 23 (36:28):
So you know, you had your share of highs.

Speaker 12 (36:30):
And lows and ups and downs.

Speaker 23 (36:31):
But at the end of the day, it's all about that.
It's better is the end of.

Speaker 24 (36:35):
A thing than the beginning and of the thing. Absolutely,
So it's one of those things where it's like, here
we are, look at this.

Speaker 10 (36:40):

Speaker 24 (36:40):
A lot of people didn't think that this, you know,
situation would even happen. But as you mentioned, Bois, men
owe a lot to New Audition. But this is what
succession looks like. You understand what I'm saying. So so
it's one of those things where it's like these guys
did what they did and they gave us the ball
and we ran with it.

Speaker 10 (36:57):
So so that now we can roll with it together.

Speaker 12 (36:59):
Now we can roll with it together?

Speaker 8 (37:00):
Can we expound on the brotherhood you know between all
of y'all. Man, You know, I love seeing all of
y'all together after all these years. What have y'all learned
about forgiveness and just staying together as brothers Audition and boys?

Speaker 25 (37:11):
I could say, go ahead, you said, I've said before
and if you was talking about the fact that when
you're talking about true brotherhood, it's a real true brotherhood
and we're like real siblings.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
And I've said that that's why you see we go
through our ups and downs, our battles. We're gonna had
some ups and downs and all of the above, but
at this stage of our lives when we come together, man,
it's like it's just nothing but laughter. It's like, at
this point of our lives, we didn't been through a lot,
and I'm sure there's more to deal with as far
as challenges go, but we've come full circles just as

(37:43):
grown men, just as as human beings, and we have
fun when we come together.

Speaker 22 (37:48):
Yeah, I was gonna say, y'all need to talk to
y'all just like we brought well, this this is the
deal again. We this is the first time that we've
even come together in this circumstance, you know what I mean.
Other times it's and you know, we've been on shows
with with BBD. We've done a few shows with Johnny
and Bobby and you know, and we I think we
did one gig that we all were together, but I

(38:10):
feel like in order for the energy to actually get
to the place where it's supposed to be something like that,
a break bread moment has to happened.

Speaker 10 (38:19):
You know, some things, you know, some things that we
might have on our hearts may need to come out.

Speaker 22 (38:24):
I mean, that's that's what brotherhood is about, you know.
And and I'm a big fan of atonement, guys.

Speaker 10 (38:30):

Speaker 20 (38:31):
I'm a big fan of of of of letting it go,
especially at the age that we're all at.

Speaker 10 (38:37):
You know, I'm trying. I'm trying to. Yeah, man, I'm trying.
I'm trying to. I'm in coach mode.

Speaker 15 (38:42):
This is the time.

Speaker 20 (38:43):
Let's go out, let's make some money, and let's entertain
these people and be on coach mold.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
That's all conversation.

Speaker 24 (38:51):
Like that initial conversation, what he was saying was, it's
it's one of those things where because we're on the
road and because we have the time.

Speaker 12 (39:00):
It's going to be one of those organic.

Speaker 24 (39:03):
We don't want to make this a melo drama, and
it ain't no negativity, ain't no mess like like you
know what I'm saying, None.

Speaker 23 (39:09):
Of that excuse me, none of that stuff.

Speaker 24 (39:11):
Like, it's really just about understanding how important this meant,
or this was not only to the fans but to us.

Speaker 12 (39:19):
So this is what we're doing.

Speaker 24 (39:21):
We're celebrating, We're going to have a good time. We're
gonna go on the road and we're gonna sing and
dance our asses off. Absolutely, we're gonna give people the
greatest show they've ever seen in their life.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
You have fun doing this, right, have fun doing it?

Speaker 20 (39:32):
Now?

Speaker 9 (39:32):
What do you think there's missing in the R and
B game right now? Why don't you think there's more
R and B groups?

Speaker 26 (39:37):
Honestly, I think it started at the recording. I think
people that are hired now, some of them don't have
an eye for talent. They have an eye for their computer.
Sometimes you have to go in the street, like we
met in the street. You know they're saying it be closed,
and I think they look at it as the hits of.

Speaker 7 (39:58):
The computer makes them hit group. But it's so much
more to it.

Speaker 26 (40:02):
And back in the day, like for myself as the CEO,
I stayed the two in the morning and kept looking
at the pictures, listening to the music, the an R
and the people at the office. Now they're on the
red carpet before the artists get there. So the responsibility
and the care the detail is missing. And if someone
would just slow down and say, Yo, how many times

(40:25):
we gotta look at the Grammys and not.

Speaker 7 (40:27):
One R and B group is on the shlve right right,
right right.

Speaker 26 (40:31):
And the first time we see in an R and
B group in the last five years, well, you know,
we saw what Bruno on them did, but that was
a different thing. I'm talking about someone from the hood,
like a Joda signal audition Boys to Men. Jagged Edge
is when Wan Suns was on there and Jesse gave
them the shot. That's the first time we seen black
kids on the Grammys ever in a long time. And

(40:52):
that's where it starts. It starts Younger it Scotts at
the office, or it's gonna have to come from.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
Us with Bobby with so many hits, how many hits
you're gonna do on stage?

Speaker 10 (41:02):
Man to the mic?

Speaker 6 (41:03):
And then because this that's the time where everybody could
take a break. You have so many records single right, like,
how how are you giving us a break?

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Me?

Speaker 7 (41:14):
And break? I don't I don't know.

Speaker 12 (41:18):
It's up it's up to Brooke and it's up to
you know, the guys.

Speaker 7 (41:22):
How much they want me on the stage.

Speaker 10 (41:25):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (41:25):
I don't plan to do no more than the next man.

Speaker 10 (41:27):
I know that, trust me.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
One.

Speaker 14 (41:41):
Okay, So for boys and man, how long did it
take y'all to complete a whole song in the studio?

Speaker 9 (41:46):
Because you when I say when the song's be going off,
you'd be like, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
I got some more.

Speaker 14 (41:57):
Specific with the Christmas album that I all year christmasstations.

Speaker 10 (42:03):
Wow, thank you so much, my favorite appreciation.

Speaker 7 (42:06):
I play it all year round.

Speaker 10 (42:07):
How long did it take you all to complete a
single song? Well, I'll tell you this. It took us
two weeks to do the Christmas album.

Speaker 7 (42:13):
What that's all?

Speaker 22 (42:15):
We had two weeks, that's all we had. And we
recorded it in Europe in London, yes, with Brian McKnight.
We sat there because we were on tour. We were
on tour in London, right, and we had a yeah,
we had to meet the deadline and we sat in there.
Of course we wrote songs on the road, you know,
like Sean would call me to his room. He had
joyous song. I came up with why Christmas and Nate

(42:37):
had a cold December Nights, Mike did No No Michael's Cold.
December Knights, Nate had what was the record of Share
Love Love. Yeah, So the idea, like literally to to
do a new standard Christmas album was It was grueling
because we didn't have much time, but we wrote the

(42:57):
hell out of that, Like every aspect of it was
straight from the you know, the soul, you know what
I mean. It was real, real moments. So we did
and we didn't want to make it all like you know,
jing go bells, you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (43:10):
We wanted to make it.

Speaker 20 (43:11):
We wanted to make it so that so that so
that we could feel it, you know what I'm saying,
so that you could actually play that drawn straight.

Speaker 10 (43:19):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 22 (43:20):
So once you you know, once the standards come and play,
you know, of course, you can make choices, but when
you have new Christmas records that people fall in love with,
that's the only choice.

Speaker 10 (43:31):
That's why we decided not to make another one.

Speaker 14 (43:33):
Yeah you please, But if y'all don't need to, because
that that's one of my favorite albums.

Speaker 10 (43:39):
Thank you appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (43:42):
Why did you kill Give Love on Christmas?

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Daily because that's my favorite Christmas song.

Speaker 14 (43:45):
Like y'all was singing these Christmas songs like women were
leaving y'all.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
Because they were that's all I had to give.

Speaker 12 (43:57):
I didn't have money back then. All I have loved off.

Speaker 9 (44:05):
Is there a song that you guys hate to do that? Like,
I just don't want to do that song, y'all looking
at you?

Speaker 12 (44:10):
I know what was one?

Speaker 13 (44:10):
This?

Speaker 10 (44:12):
I hate that song.

Speaker 22 (44:14):
I'll tell you why you hate it. So so so
we're in Salt Lake City. We were and and uh,
the record label. I'm sure they've had something to do
it this the record label and was like, yo, we
need a record for the Jackson's Mini series. And we

(44:34):
wanted to be in the Still of the Night. Now,
we could think of so many other records that we
would have been excited to do, you know what I mean.
But they wanted in the Still of the Night. So okay,
it's a very easy record, guys, you know what I mean.
Of course, with our harmony structures, we kind of we
kind of do it a little bit different because it's
not the regular triad. The issue is is nobody wanted

(44:54):
to sing the lead.

Speaker 23 (44:56):
It was a day off, weekend and we wanted to
go snowmobill.

Speaker 20 (44:58):
Exactly right, exactly, so nobody wanted to sing the lead,
So anything right, right, right?

Speaker 10 (45:07):
No, no, no, hell no, we don't want to sing
the lead because it's in the other night.

Speaker 7 (45:12):
Right.

Speaker 10 (45:12):
So we flipped the coin.

Speaker 20 (45:14):
That's how we did every That's how we that's how
we cleared every altercase, every situation.

Speaker 27 (45:20):
We would just want to slip the one and we left.
I don't even remember, bro, I was so pissed off.
I'm looking out the window, snow cap mountains, hilarious traumises.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
So that new addition hates to do.

Speaker 23 (45:41):
I want to know that.

Speaker 10 (45:41):
Yeah, what's all y'all hate to do?

Speaker 9 (45:43):
Familiar will probably be you're not my kind of girl?

Speaker 28 (45:46):
What Yeah, leans in on the dance side, this one
move that we do whatever you know later on my
ass hurts.

Speaker 18 (46:02):
Dance moves in like things you're not gonna touch this
time around.

Speaker 28 (46:05):
On yes, face, we are definitely gonna. I think we
do want to give people a different experience. Like MB said,
some of the classic stuff that people have come to
know us for if it is in love, maybe even

(46:25):
you're not my kind of girl. Some of those things
we're gonna keep in place. We might add some variances,
but I think people want to see us do something
new and fresh. So we definitely want to give people
a different experiences.

Speaker 7 (46:36):
But you can't do ballplayers get older. They even got
to adjust their game, right, thank you.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
You gotta tell you, gotta tell Brooke that because he
ain't trying to expect that they want the same look
from twenty one.

Speaker 7 (46:54):
He be like, you try, That's what you tell you try.
Sometimes running in just ran out.

Speaker 10 (47:03):
The Walking Man.

Speaker 7 (47:07):
Are y'all helping Bois and Men developed their biopic? I
remember there was rumors of a Boys Men biopick at
one time.

Speaker 10 (47:14):
I have to see that.

Speaker 24 (47:15):
I mean, we're still in the embryonic stages of it,
still trying to get things together because we want to
make sure that the story is told the right way,
because there are a lot of things that by design,
we have not said. You know, there's been a lot
of things that's been mentioned about the group and said
about the groups and things that nature that we.

Speaker 10 (47:33):
Just kind of watched the last thing quiet.

Speaker 24 (47:35):
You know what I'm saying, Because when you see the
people that are actually saying it, you gotta always consider
the source, right, and when you see their positions and
the lives they're living and things that nature outside of
all of the shock value of oh, somebody said this,
If you look a little deeper, you say, oh, okay,

(47:56):
that's why they said that.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Now.

Speaker 14 (47:57):
You know.

Speaker 23 (47:58):
The thing about the industry, though, is that everybody knows
everything about everybody.

Speaker 29 (48:03):
Yeah, if I wanted to go on this radio show
and talk about certain people, I know I could because
I know exactly what happened, who did it, the whole
nine yards.

Speaker 10 (48:15):
The issue is not us, though, you know what I mean.
It's the people.

Speaker 22 (48:20):
You know what I'm saying. Everyone has an opinion, you
know what I mean. They call it social media, but
there's nothing social about it at all, you know what
I mean. The thought process about it is when someone
says something about you, it's fine, especially if it's true.

Speaker 10 (48:36):
I don't care.

Speaker 20 (48:37):
But I'm tired of people lying about us. They lie
about us, and we never say nothing.

Speaker 22 (48:44):
Well, I got a messed up knee, I got three
schools in it, and I'm getting myself together.

Speaker 27 (48:51):
Before you go there, I want to give him an
example of how we don't say anything like people been
talking about our fourth member forever. Oh, y'all did this
to him. Y'all kicked him out. He was y'ain't give
it about him. Y'all don't know the story. And that's
okay because we keep that in. But I tell you
one thing we've never done. We've never said anything about
him until the latter years, to make sure that man,

(49:12):
if he's.

Speaker 10 (49:12):
Not here, he can have a career. Absolute you don't
do that, So we don't. We don't do that.

Speaker 27 (49:19):
That's not I mean, I'm the least social media guy
on the planet. Yes, yes, no need for I don't
live in that space, so it's no need to go
in there and deal with all the craziness because we're
gonna handle lot of out.

Speaker 22 (49:29):
So when someone is doing that and telling stories like
literally fabricated stories, I feel like it's it's just felt
like time, you know, time to defend the integrity of
my group, of my fellas, myself, you know what I mean.
And look, I'm not gonna say, boys to man, we
was the cleanest planet earth. You know what I'm saying.

(49:51):
We did some stuff, you know what I'm saying, a
lot of people. You know, I'm pretty sure we put
some people off, you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (49:58):
And right.

Speaker 22 (49:59):
But at the end of the day, we were trying
to protect our brand. We were trying to protect it.
We didn't have Michael bibbins on over us anymore to
protect us. We didn't have ky Lil Rountree. He got murdered,
you know what I'm saying. We were trying to figure
out all kinds of things managerial. We have Michael Jackson
and Prince telling us to know your work and don't
let nobody get over on you. You know, So we

(50:21):
we developed a ship, a ship. We started looking at
everybody and like, oh, no, you're not going to do
this to us. You're not going to do this to us.

Speaker 20 (50:29):
So when they hear our voices because we were so
silent because everybody else was doing it for.

Speaker 10 (50:33):
Us, now we're apples.

Speaker 19 (50:35):
You know.

Speaker 22 (50:35):
You understand, just because we're in the studio and we're
working on a project does not mean that we're going
to be consorting.

Speaker 10 (50:42):
That's not what boys to men do. When we're in
the studio, we work.

Speaker 22 (50:45):
We don't have time to play games, you know what
I'm saying, Because we have to please these fans, you know,
So when someone is saying you know that we said
something as specific about a friend of ours.

Speaker 7 (50:58):
We don't need babyface.

Speaker 17 (51:03):
Come on, and I saw you jump in the comments
of the show and say what you said, But so
why now even address that if you know it's not truly.

Speaker 10 (51:12):
Because I got time, I got a messed up knee.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
I was sitting on the damn I was sitting on
the damn couch.

Speaker 10 (51:21):
I couldn't get up, I couldn't drive.

Speaker 20 (51:23):
I was watching cartoons and playing PlayStation and I saw
that and I said, hmm, this will be fun.

Speaker 10 (51:30):
And guess what it was. It was very fun because
I got a chance to let the people who really
cared on that page no that it was a lie man.

Speaker 22 (51:40):
You could choose to take it wherever you want. I'm
just trying to figure out where it came from. I
never said anything derogatory about Chili. If you read the comments,
I said, I love those girls. I said, we have
history together. I'm just trying to figure out what happened.

Speaker 20 (51:53):
I mean, we heard that Tian said after the past
of my thing, I ain't staying for this corny ash,
corny ass show. That's what you know what I'm saying.
And I'm like, why, I love you, we love y'all
like the nostalgia. When we walk into the room, they
jump into our I mean, Chili used to jump into
our arms line.

Speaker 10 (52:10):
It's like, what's going on.

Speaker 26 (52:11):
At the end of the day, we were just gonna
sell some tickets because because to be honest with you,
this where we are and what we're trying to do.
We were trying to inspire absolutely absolutely, And you guys'
movie is gonna be a great movie.

Speaker 12 (52:26):
It's gonna be from your point of view.

Speaker 26 (52:28):
Your fans are gonna love it, and we just want
them to come to this so they could see us
together because we've never done this absolutely, you know, and
this this is really our first interview. So the Breakfast
Club is really the first interview of us all together.

Speaker 12 (52:46):
Can I just say to you guys, to boys and man,
let me just say this and I'll shut up.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
But I'm glad that you guys are telling your story
because in the world that we're living in now with
social media and everybody can get on there and say
what they want, ruin people's lives, ring your reputation, I
think and do a number of things. It is important. No,
you can't fight the whole world. No, we'll never be
able to change sometimes people no matter whether it's the
truth or not. But when it comes from the horse's

(53:10):
mouth and it's written in stone, it can't be raised.
Can't tell your story nothing else.

Speaker 19 (53:15):
At the end of the day, with your legacy, anybody
want to believe, whether they want to believe, that's all.
It's all well and fine, but it has come from
the horse's mouth directly in this.

Speaker 24 (53:24):
Yeah, it's so so the answer. Yes, we're working on
the biopic. Bib is definitely gonna put his input into
it and working going.

Speaker 19 (53:32):
To have.

Speaker 10 (53:33):
You know what I'm saying, because it's everybody's story, everybody.

Speaker 23 (53:38):
Every it's everybody's story.

Speaker 24 (53:39):
But the stuff they want and everybody was touching on man,
and people that were saying they corny a cornball.

Speaker 6 (53:45):
I can't wait get your tickets if you haven't got
your tickets yet, talking about thirty I'm sure it's gonna
be more than that because they got to ask so fast.

Speaker 7 (53:52):
I'm just having got something to do.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Man, it's gonna be man audition boys. Man, thank y'all
for joining.

Speaker 12 (54:02):
Us having.

Speaker 7 (54:06):
That's what I meant, Why Tony, why why did y'all
decide to get to.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
We needed a queen, and I thought that honestly, she
was to me. I thought was a great, great part,
It could be a great part of this. This this
the whole movie, because it's about when you're doing a
show like this, you want catalog, you want everything to
be able to fit perfectly.

Speaker 12 (54:24):
And I think that she just fits for the for
the choice. Yes, she was my first choice.

Speaker 9 (54:31):
Yeah yeah, that conference call was different, but she's there.

Speaker 12 (54:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (54:35):
Yeah to her personally, yeah I did you?

Speaker 12 (54:40):
Did you I talked to her?

Speaker 14 (54:42):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, because I'm happy I'm going to
be seeing her too.

Speaker 9 (54:49):
It's the Breakfast Club. The Florida man attacked an a
t M for a very strange reason. It gave him
too much mo. Florida man is arrested after that's being saved.

Speaker 14 (55:02):
He rigged the door to his home and an attempt
to electric hit his president lights.

Speaker 7 (55:05):
Police arrested in Orlando man for talking up from me
though the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 22 (55:09):
Bitch, you donkey of the day with Charlamagne to God,
I don't know why y'all keep letting him.

Speaker 10 (55:13):
Get y'all like this.

Speaker 8 (55:14):
It ain't it ain't it ain't me duvall as them, Okay, Florida.
Donkey to Day goes to a young woman named Alkina Samson. Okay,
a Quena is a thirty one year old woman from
Saint Petersburg, Florida who works at one of the greatest
institutions of all time, McDonald's. Okay, I am not about
to sit here and do a commercial for McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (55:30):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (55:30):
You can say what you want about McDonald's, but they
have been around since nineteen forty. It has thirty six
thousand restaurants in over one hundred countries, and they served
sixty nine million customers daily dropping the clues bombs of McDonald's.
But that's not an institution.

Speaker 7 (55:42):
I don't know what is.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Okay, supersize me. Ain't stopping nothing. At some point, we
have all had a love affair with McDonald's, Okay. My
go to was the too Cheeseburger Mill with an orange drink.
And I'm old enough to remember when it was two
ninety nine, three fourteen plus x. What was your goal
to Jess?

Speaker 7 (55:57):
That the same thing the two GI's burger mail three
fourth Saints bout you.

Speaker 9 (56:00):
Mine was the same, but it was three twenty four cents.

Speaker 8 (56:03):
Okay, McDonald's was the place that we would all hang
out after the football games, drop on the clues bombs
for the Berkeley Stacks, Monks Corner, South Carolina all day.
I have a lot of love and great memories connected
to McDonald's, and there was nothing like, you know, having
a homie.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
Working at Mickeyd's. Because they would always bless you with
free food.

Speaker 8 (56:18):
That's what it was, a blessing. Okay, that's what it was,
a blessing, all right. But Aquina Samson didn't have that
giving spirit. Okay, Akeena is clearly not the homie you
want working in McDonald's if you're looking to get something free. No, okay,
a Kena is there to protect McDonald's at all costs,
all right. She, a seventeen year old customer, got choked
out by Aquina after she stepped behind the counter to

(56:39):
take some ranch dipping sauce after not being helped by employees. Now,
we have all been at a fast food restaurant and
been frustrated by the service, but that doesn't mean you
can take madage into your.

Speaker 7 (56:49):
Own hands and go behind the counter and do their
job for them.

Speaker 8 (56:52):
Okay, this little entitled ass teenager took they ass behind
the counterar to get some ranch dipping sauce, and a Keena,
according to police reports, grabbed her arm. When the team
tried to break free, Aquina allegedly grabbed her by the
neck and put the girl to the ground. Sounds to
me like the Big Show's finishing move. Remember that show
stopper choke slam Big Show used to do. That's what

(57:14):
seemed like happened in this situation. Now, I know what
you're thinking. How many ranch package did the victim secure? Well,
the police reports does not reveal that information, but it
did reveal that the victim had visible injuries to her
neck and left elbow. The incident was also captured on video.
A Qina was charged with child abuse. Now you're probably
saying to yourself, damn, a Keena, did you have to
do all that for some McDonald's Ranch sauce. I don't

(57:36):
know if McDonald's ranch saw slaps. I've never had it.
Anybody ever had McDonald's Ranch.

Speaker 7 (57:40):
Yes, it slaps, definitely slaps.

Speaker 8 (57:42):
Okay, okay, Now, if it was Polynesian sauce, chip fil
At sauce, we probably could understand.

Speaker 7 (57:46):
But McDonald's Ranch, I'm not sure. Just says it slaps.

Speaker 8 (57:49):
I'll take her word for it, but it's not about
what the team did that got her choke slammed. It's
the principle. As much as I have to give a
keena this he hall, because there's a part of me.
I mean, as much as I have to give a
key to this he hall, there is a part of
me that's like.

Speaker 13 (58:05):
Per.

Speaker 12 (58:07):
What is it per? What is it her?

Speaker 7 (58:09):
What is per her?

Speaker 12 (58:11):
What's that?

Speaker 7 (58:12):
That's that's just Clockett's Okay.

Speaker 8 (58:16):
He wants to be a woman so bad. Yes, someone
has to teach these yms a lesson. Okay, where was
this seventeen year old's home training? There is cause and effect.
The seventeen year old was the cause and effect is
a keen of choke slamming her and being arrested and
charged with child abuse. And now she's about to lose
her job at McDonald's. Okay, she is clearly missing her

(58:36):
calling as nightclub security. But I digress. Look customer service
one on one. If a customer breaches protocol, especially a minor,
throw hot fried grease on them, No, the appropriate response
is to call management, our security, our security. Okay, don't
resort to physical violence because McDonalds wouldn't front line for
you like that, And you should never, under any circumstance,

(58:57):
risk your job, freedom and a young person safety over
a condiment.

Speaker 12 (59:02):
I know.

Speaker 7 (59:02):
I know that seventeen year old was risking it all too,
But day seventeen, you thirty one. You should know better.

Speaker 8 (59:07):
Now once again you got a child abuse charge, which
is gonna look nasty on your record, and you lost
your job at Ronald McDonald's house. This situation makes the
ice cream machine always being broken seem like good customer service.
Please give Akina Samson the biggest he hull McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
They dying for you, bro.

Speaker 10 (59:28):
Yeah, that's a lot.

Speaker 7 (59:29):
That's extra. Just call the police, I will.

Speaker 6 (59:32):
I will say this though, a lot of people that
work at fast food jobs take their job way too serious.

Speaker 7 (59:38):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
If I want an extra packet of Ketchup, please give
me an extra packet Ketchup?

Speaker 7 (59:43):
I agree.

Speaker 9 (59:43):
You know, if I say, hey, can I extra Ketchup?
That doesn't mean one packet? Give me too or five?

Speaker 6 (59:48):
If I asked for an additional you know, sweet and
sour sauce, yeah, give me one of two, give me
two three.

Speaker 14 (59:53):
I'm telling you I used to give them vegas away

Now the right time for all of y'all to come
together for this tour.

Speaker 10 (01:03:44):
Oh that's a great question, bro.

Speaker 23 (01:03:46):
Honestly managed it.

Speaker 31 (01:03:47):
It just felt right, it being thirty years you know,
us being in the game, so it just it just
made sense for us to just get out there and
just show the fans that we really appreciate what they've
been doing, you know, been rocking out with us for
the last thirty years, man, So we were really excited
about it. Man, Like, we're managed totally and one twelve
we managed by the same you know crew, So of
course that was an easy, you know decision to make

(01:04:08):
with that and then case you know, being you know,
yeah that's the bro, you know what I mean, and
all of us having that catalog is definitely we wanted
to bring back that ninety nostalgia and all.

Speaker 14 (01:04:19):
Y'all still sing thank you. That's you know, not everybody
doing it, but y'all can still sing.

Speaker 10 (01:04:25):
That's good man.

Speaker 8 (01:04:26):
How did y'all find that balance back in the day
between between being like sexy but strong, was still streetd
with it, Like, how did y'all find that balance?

Speaker 18 (01:04:34):
It was just natural, Like that's just who we are
growing up Jersey, like how we were.

Speaker 10 (01:04:40):
And that's what made us.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
To me, that's what made us who we were.

Speaker 30 (01:04:43):
Total the name started out as total opposites because we
were all individuals in our.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
Own way, you know, So it was it wasn't like
you had to buy the brand.

Speaker 30 (01:04:53):
We came as we were.

Speaker 9 (01:04:55):
Yeah, how was the bad Boy ever back then?

Speaker 7 (01:04:57):
Growing up?

Speaker 12 (01:04:58):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:04:58):
Because there was a time nineties two thousand it was
nothing but bad Boy in the radio, nothing but bad
Boy on the streets, mixtapes to clubs. How was that
era where just it felt like anything y'all did hit
it was.

Speaker 7 (01:05:11):
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 12 (01:05:12):
It was fun, it was.

Speaker 17 (01:05:14):
That's what we've learned a lot of our grind from
that whole era, just grinding just out there.

Speaker 12 (01:05:20):
It was going to the like it was just fun.

Speaker 7 (01:05:22):
It was just like a big old part yep.

Speaker 32 (01:05:27):
Yeah, crazy us coming from Atlanta, you know what I'm saying,
Like it was a different it was like a different culture.
So you know, you know, you can imagine how that felt.
He's coming I know, he's from the you know what
I'm saying, So he's coming to New York culture, you know,
so you know.

Speaker 7 (01:05:42):
But but it was so much fun because.

Speaker 32 (01:05:43):
It was just like okay, clubs smaller, but you know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:05:47):
But it was like in your face, so you know
what I'm saying. So, but we learned a lot musically here.

Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
What about the fore kse Now, you weren't on Bad Boy,
you were on death Jamm. You a songwriter, you had
you have the I always say, you have that one
wedding song that you would get paid for for the
rest of your life happily ever after, like ya. That
was it coming up for you in that during that
time because at that time you would death jam. Death
jam was heavy pop and you was probably.

Speaker 9 (01:06:15):
One of the only R and B singers at the time.

Speaker 12 (01:06:17):
I mean it was.

Speaker 33 (01:06:18):
It was cool for me, except for the only problem
what they was learning on the fly how to do
R and B and so I get caught up in
that sometime. But yeah, I mean you know how big
they was then, so that part was cool. It was
just a lot of times they had a lot of
hip hop sensibilities because it's hip hop label. But one
of the things that helped me was that I was
the last artist that Russell personally signed to death Jam,

(01:06:38):
So I'd always call him and be like, yo, I
could snitch.

Speaker 7 (01:06:43):
The record was gonna be so timeless, like touch me,
tease me happily.

Speaker 33 (01:06:46):
Ever ever, I didn't know. But that's what I always
wanted to do. Like I never wanted to make like
trendy stuff. I always wanted to make music like my
parents would listen to stuff from like twenty thirty years earlier,
and they would have me doing it. And so my
thing was like, if I could do that and not
be happy, and then everything else will fall in line.

Speaker 7 (01:07:02):
You worked with a Mary Jay beyond Brown.

Speaker 6 (01:07:08):
Who else There's a bunch of people h ll ghost Face,
ghost Face, genuine, Tyrie Jam and Lewis.

Speaker 9 (01:07:15):
I felt like de f GM didn't treat you like
a regular artist.

Speaker 6 (01:07:18):
Right with Total in one twelve, I would see them
out in the club like bad Boy would have him
ount deaf GM artists, deaf GM would have them out.

Speaker 9 (01:07:26):
I didn't see you def Jam put you out as
much like that was it because you didn't want.

Speaker 7 (01:07:30):
To go out or I probably didn't know what to
do it because he was R and B.

Speaker 10 (01:07:33):
I think a lot of it. Yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:07:34):
First of all, I hate going out, Okay, so if
I didn't have to be there, that's why you always
be like Yo, you had know that stuff about you
because I know how to.

Speaker 10 (01:07:43):
Be over here.

Speaker 33 (01:07:44):
So yeah, I mean I wasn't really big on going out,
or when I did, it'd be I'd be somewhere else
unless I had to be, you know, somewhere with them.

Speaker 18 (01:07:52):
You got you, did you guys?

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Well?

Speaker 17 (01:07:54):
Mike, I saw you say that you feel like you
know you guys first album. Without that, you don't think
the arm you would be as prevalent or as worldwide
as it is right now.

Speaker 31 (01:08:02):
So yeah, the mind frame was we started that whole trend.
It's like the way music sounds now. One twelve had
a lot to do with that because no one can
really give us a group that did it the way
that we did it before one twelve, Like as far
as singing over hip hop beats and stuff like that,
like you I challenged in but finding a group that
did it because back in the day, what you had

(01:08:23):
ther a side and you had the B side right,
and then on the B side, so the records right,
they had the records, you had the uptempo record where
they were singing, but they were always all that singing
over uptempo beats and stuff. It was like it was confusing.

Speaker 7 (01:08:36):
Puff.

Speaker 31 (01:08:36):
One one thing that Puff told us was like when
you're in the club, when you when you're recording a record,
right sing the song as if you're in the club
drinking and you're trying to holler at the girl. You
ain't eve gonna be in this girl talking about Yeah,
you gonna I want to be with you, you know
what I mean. It's gonna be something smoothing. So when

(01:08:57):
we wrote records, we wrote the up timbo records in
the and Slim having the voice being able to just
lay on the tracks the way that we did, Like
that started an hold ever where people now like when
you hear R and B it has a hip hop
element to it as well.

Speaker 7 (01:09:10):
It's not just R and B. It's a hip hop element.

Speaker 8 (01:09:13):
Isn't that the bad boy formula? Or wasn't that Diddy?
Like I feel like Diddy did that like with Josie.
I feel like he did that with Mary J. Blige,
like he did that.

Speaker 31 (01:09:19):
With I'll give You That, I'll give you Mary J.
Blige because yeah, she she helped, uh because we always
say that Mary is between Mary and one twelve, but
one twelve really and then yeah, puff did you know
he did contribute it because we came in with just
we aren't beat, we aren't be bro, like forget all
that stuff, man, like hip hop that's gonna cheapen our
sound and all this sudden stuff. And he's had the
vision was like, Yo, this is what's gonna separate y'all

(01:09:41):
from the drew Hills, from the Jaggets, from the you know,
the Ajets and all these other groups that were coming
out at the same time.

Speaker 14 (01:09:46):
And you know what that that didn't make perfect sense
right instead of all I would love to come up
to me and let me tell you what.

Speaker 7 (01:09:58):
Exactly. That's exactly what it was. You ain't gonna be
able to sing.

Speaker 23 (01:10:03):
So he's like, bro, all of that in my ear,
Like I don't want to hear all that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (01:10:06):
So that's you agree with Mike's assessment. Not to start
any arguments here, but case still agree with that.

Speaker 33 (01:10:11):
Yeah, I mean it was it was part of it.
I mean that during that era, but that's when hip
hop and R and B was Yeah, so pretty much.

Speaker 7 (01:10:19):
And I feel like bad Boy wasn't the form in
front of U.

Speaker 9 (01:10:21):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 30 (01:10:22):
Yeah, total was hip hop with that touch of R
and B, R and B group, but I think we
were more base hip hop.

Speaker 9 (01:10:28):
With the touch of R and B.

Speaker 30 (01:10:29):
And Mary definitely was the pioneer of that sound when
Puff did the remixes with Jodasy, because Jodasy was just.

Speaker 9 (01:10:36):
The R and B and then Het the hip hop element.

Speaker 7 (01:10:39):
Ghost facing Ray Kuon on the Freaking You remix.

Speaker 8 (01:10:41):
You know, like I can't even I don't want to hear,
can't you see without Biggie part? Like I hate hated
when some of the urban stations back in the day
didn't play Raptors, just playing the RB.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
I hated. I was like, yeah, I would go before
that's no facts record, right, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:11:02):
Because they didn't want a lot didn't play. How do
y'all balance egos?

Speaker 8 (01:11:08):
You know, you know, when you're dealing with three legendary
actual all had that individual moments, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:11:14):
It's it's a respect level. Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 31 (01:11:16):
It's like because I'm I'm actually fans. Yeah, actually like that,
And I know it sounds cliche with.

Speaker 7 (01:11:24):
It, but it's the truth. And you know we we
so often we don't tell the truth.

Speaker 31 (01:11:28):
You know, we're getting this type or form or whatever,
but we are genuinely like total was our first pick
to be on this room. One twelve to a Case
was our first pick to be on this because in
Case his catalog, we just spoke about his catalog ridiculous,
total ridiculous, one twelve ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (01:11:44):
And we wanted to bring back.

Speaker 31 (01:11:45):
That nineties nostalgia, you know, and just bring back that
whole era of I knew where I was when I
heard only You for the first time, you know, I
knew where I was when I heard Cupid, when I
heard I'm Missing You, and when I heard can't you
See for the first.

Speaker 23 (01:11:57):
Time, Like I remember where I was when I heard
these not what it was.

Speaker 12 (01:12:00):
To be I was.

Speaker 5 (01:12:06):
You know.

Speaker 33 (01:12:06):
I think that ego is healthy on the tour, especially
like this, because you have to if you use it
the right way. Like for me, it's like, Okay, I'm
gonna try to kill everybody. They're gonna feel the same,
and then the fans the one that wins, as opposed
to people who just go up there don't care, like
I just got we come from that.

Speaker 30 (01:12:22):
You got, you got came from, right, we come from
that came in our tour and we're like, well total
twelve just killed y'all got Okay, that's.

Speaker 10 (01:12:32):
How you gotta do it.

Speaker 33 (01:12:34):
Competion and that's that's the because the only people that
win is the fans.

Speaker 10 (01:12:38):
Was that ever a low time for y'all?

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
Yeah, yeah, it definitely was.

Speaker 31 (01:12:43):
I think for us, the resurgence of the nineties, you know,
was was something that was what we appreciated more than anything,
and that happened about what maybe almost like six seven
years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:12:52):
It was like what the pandemic did.

Speaker 32 (01:12:55):
You didn't know when you didn't know what the state
of music and how the industry and how we were
going to perform was going to be. Remember, everybody started
experimenting with the whole you know.

Speaker 7 (01:13:08):
Taping, you know, and then video.

Speaker 32 (01:13:11):
It was just, yeah, I thought we were going to
just it's going to be that, you know, so so
much gratitude now to you know what I mean, see
it for where it is, and and we feel like it's.

Speaker 7 (01:13:22):
A blessing that of all the errors they chose to pick,
they picked the nineties. You know what I'm saying, So
thank you. I would want to go back, just I
really want to experience it in New York like.

Speaker 10 (01:13:36):
You would left at me.

Speaker 17 (01:13:39):
I forget that one time you laughed at me. I
feel like the time that you guys were like like
the top, it was such a good time here. It
doesn't seem real, like when we hear the stories or
like like I'm listening to y'all talk about just walking
in the studio, big big, he's just there and like,
you know, I can't imagine.

Speaker 18 (01:14:00):
And just being like on top, yeah, like in.

Speaker 31 (01:14:03):
That time, but you're working so hard that you don't
even realize it, you know what I mean, Like you
don't even realize what it took us to step away
from it, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:14:11):
And and okay, we can use it as our downtime,
you know, and say that that was the time.

Speaker 31 (01:14:15):
For us to go back and look at it and say, man,
we we did more than just seeing you know, we
contributed to a culture, like we we are part of history,
you know.

Speaker 7 (01:14:26):
Yeah, so that was amazing.

Speaker 31 (01:14:28):
It's looking at it now being older, like you're looking
at it now because my kids now they're they're going
back and they googling, like dad, y'all y'all the pieces
of cream the video, you know, my kid, no, because
I don't go around don't. I don't go around here
looking you know, I don't. I don't do that, you know,
Like they just they grew up as normal as I

(01:14:51):
I hoped I could, because I could teach them to be,
because it's such a mental strain that the industry takes.
Like it gives, but it also takes. One of the
things is, you know, the lack of you know, the
mental of health that comes along. You know what I'm
saying with that, because you're you're inundated with all of this.
You know, you have to be perfect every time you

(01:15:13):
see you're out, you all, your face has always got
to be right, your clothes got to always be right.

Speaker 23 (01:15:18):
Or man, they don't fell off, bro, Like.

Speaker 7 (01:15:20):
I just came from the jail, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
Yeah, but I think the camera messed that up there.
The camera messed it up because when like the reason
I asked if he was out is I would see
everybody out right. I was a kid growing up, So
I would go to grass tooms and see y'all. One
hundred twenty fifth Trier, go to the tunnel and see y'all.
In the tunnel of different things, and there was no
VIP area. That's what it does, and it gave you

(01:15:43):
a connection with the artists. But there was no phone,
so it was no I'm taking a picture. There was
no The only thing that you would possibly do if
you want, and nobody wanted to look corny. But you
might ask for an autograph, but nobody wanted to come
in the club and do that. So it gave you
you enjoying the moment, and I feel like people are
not enjoying the moment.

Speaker 30 (01:15:59):
I did that, and I'm like, I've never went live ever,
went live on Instagram, and I.

Speaker 10 (01:16:06):
Wasn't expecting this.

Speaker 7 (01:16:07):
Beyonce came out and she just started speaking.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
I'm all live.

Speaker 30 (01:16:11):
I'm like, I'm on live, y'all this be and she
started speaking and I started crying. I was not expecting it.
I was like, okay, guys, I gotta go. Literally, I
might have been filming for like ten seconds. You gotta
be in the moment because it's an experience, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 9 (01:16:25):
Watching it back, No, it's not I just gotta ask one.
Mo'm sorry, no one else.

Speaker 12 (01:16:30):
Beat.

Speaker 6 (01:16:31):
Were y'all confused when you first heard that beat? No, no,
because there was snares all over that place.

Speaker 30 (01:16:38):
We did not know what was going to be put
over it. Okay, because that was Terry once again, Terry Robinson.
It's like, how are you going to write over it?

Speaker 7 (01:16:47):
Said?

Speaker 12 (01:16:48):
You heard it?

Speaker 30 (01:16:49):
It went crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:16:50):
It's one of my favorites.

Speaker 18 (01:16:52):
Hard if we could just get all of those acts
on the stage.

Speaker 9 (01:16:58):
One day, we're gonna say hopeful, yeah, yeah, brand its crazy.
