R and B Money.

We are take volatility.

We are the authority on R and B ladies and gentlemen money, Miss Tank and this is the R and B Money Podcast, the authority on all things R and B.

The number one R and B podcast in the world.

Prayer.

Some people don't like to hear that top flight R and B ship in the world.

I don't know, it's not like we you know, what are they gonna set us?

We're inclusive, but we reason they you know, they like to be like, I don't know nigga, you know what?

Don't they know who?

I know who?

Who part is?

It?

Don't nobody won't this R and B smoke.

We are the smokest niggas in R and B.

Having this conversation with the likes of the list is long.

Today's a special day, mister Valentine.

This is this is our close out of our third season.

It's a lot of episodes, it's a lot of this is one hundred and fifty.

Like like when I came to you at the studio in Burbank, me and Ruben were like we should do a pod and you were like, man, I'm not sitting there talking to you for no motherfucker.

You know, I'm not talking to you for no hour, just sitting on no couching you nigga.

I think because we had to also, we had to figure out how to make it all makes sense, how to make it all makes sense, and you know what we wanted to talk about.

And I think a big part of that is people understanding from my standpoint of it is and I think, I think for yours as well, that it's more of a show about the journey all things and entertainment all things and being successful, you know what I mean.

And I think at times, I you know, I think I just didn't want to be pigeonholed.

I didn't want us.

I didn't want us to be pigeonholed as far as the only thing they thought of is that, oh, if they're not having such and such R and B singer on the show, you know, And to me, you know, I thought that was I thought that was putting us in a bit of a box because we've done so much in entertainment period, and we have so many friends in it, and I think that the world's all mesh and they had to understand, and I hope they did during this time is that it's always gonna be R and because you want I R bly you know what I mean, more more than anything.

And yes, we're going to stand on the fact that we want R and B music mixed into all of these things, other than it just being like Okay, well yeah, y'all should be on here talking about drum patterns.

And well, first, I'm not a music nerd.

You are.

I'm not a music nerd.

I love music, but I don't really care what machine a nigga used to make what it.

Shit.

Don't mean because it sound good, I don't care.

Listen if you big table and made it, I'm rolling if it sounds good to my ears.

So that that was the That was I think my my biggest hesitation in the beginning when we were talking about doing it, I'm like, and the way you explained it to me was, Jay, our company is called R and B money.

We need we got to call it R and B money.

And I was like, absolutely right, you know what I mean, You're absolutely right, because you know, and I feel like it gave us our niche amongst all the other things.

And we bring R and B with, you know, and we insert it into the conversation absolutely, no matter who's on our show.

And I think that's that's been a really cool and important part that everywhere we go it's R and B money and it's R and B.

But that was the balance of it between you and I.

You know what I'm saying, Just that that alone, like you don't care what machine or nigga using, right?

You know what I'm saying, I am questioning him down about his doll and you know what I'm saying.

And what you stack that with?

Do you want to layer that with a you know what I'm saying, I'm going all the way.

So it's it was the balance because you're very much You're very much into the the the the the aesthetic, the final product and how it like, what is what is it going to end up being?

Hear all that.

I still look at myself as a consumer.

I've just been a consumer who's been able to make a living making music.

But you're still a consumer.

But you're you're not.

I am absolutely I pay for my Spotify, for my Apple Music, I got all of them, I got Amazon.

You're not consumer?

Why not if I buy it?

I am consuming too talented to be a consumer.

It's like a nigga that that made the league, that now buys tickets.

You go to the games because.

He's not in No more Jay, whether you like it or not, you're behind the veil.

You have too much information to be a true consumer.

You have too much ability to be a true consumer.

You analyze the game completely differently.

Now you know the metrics, you know the numbers, you know how to read all of these things, right, but you still come from a different place.

Unfortunate.

Okay, no, no, not unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

I'm appreciative of it, but I just feel like, if I buy it, I got an opinion.

Listen, you know what's cracking.

I mean, that's what you.

We give you, We give you credit for that.

You know what's cracking, and I know it's not.

It's not always like that.

I will say if something's not cracking.

I don't mind saying something's not cracking.

And I don't mind the conversation that comes from me speaking my opinion because you can articulate.

Because I can articulate my opinion.

Man, I believe that in this many years of consuming there you go, ah consuming these things, my opinion is an expert.

At this point, I feel like I have an expert opinion, you know what I mean.

So it's really funny when I see people, because you know me, I see the people who say shit, and then I go on the page and I'm like, oh, you do music.

I've never heard any of.

It though, And you're arguing with me about being successful in music, or you're arguing with whoever our guests are arguing about whoever our guest is, and the advice that they're giving these very successful people that are on these show against talking against, like talking about insight first, super legends fuck me, yeah, yeah, the super legend that's on the show that gave his or her time to tell you what they see in the game, what they feel about the game, how they were able to win in the game.

And niggas that are still trying to figure out how to get their first placement are having arguments with people in the comments section and are actually even combating you and I And I'm like, this is crazy because the other part about us doing this is that it's really cultural for us.

This is not to change our lives to become uber millionaires doing a show or podcast.

This is really a cultural play.

That's why we have who we have on the show.

We are not looking at, as you said, metrics, We're not looking at, Oh, this person is going to do so much.

Numbers are so many, you know, so many views.

We could care less, Like we really are doing this so that the young kid are the the older person who loves and does music can see these interviews and maybe alter some of their views or some of the ways that they're going about about it, so that they can reach some levels of success.

Of the people that we're bringing on here, even if they've never heard of these people.

These people are tenured in this business, like we don't just bring just anybody, are tenured in this business and in other business, other businesses.

Making the NBA it it's only five it's five less than our somewhere around five thousand people who've ever played it ever ever, it's five thousand new songs that come out every day.

It's only five thousand.

So someone coming on here and telling their story, you got to be respectful of that.

If we got a movie star or a TV star, our comedian that makes a living, like most comedians don't make a living, you know what we should do?

What should we do?

We gotta figure out coming next season.

We got to figure out what the number is on how many people have had a hit record?

Well, what that you know, that's a relative.

That's a relative question too.

No, no, no, I'm.

Talking about a chart topping, universally recognized hit record.

Not no, he got hits on his album.

No no, not that, not no oh this song introduced him or this song got him in or no no, no, no, no life changing chart topping record.

I think we should we should find that.

I mean, I'm sure the Googles.

Because as we say five thousand people, only around five made the NBA.

I want to know the number of people who have actually written, perform, produced, sang a hit song and what that number looks like and people and then make people understand what kind of club they're trying to get into.

Now.

I think I was I was reading somewhere or I was listening to something, and someone was giving a breakdown of the people who actually make a living doing music.

That's different too.

It's they were saying, it's less than five percent of people who actually do music make living like a living wage to just do music to just a music.

Less than five percent of the world like that actually make enough money to to only do music kids.

It's really tough.

And that's the part that I feel like we've tried to help in being you know, niggas don't read as much no more.

We know that, so we've we're trying to give them some form of a playbook to listen to and watch.

So I mean, I think that that'd be my biggest thing.

Man.

You know, I'm not bothered by the comments, but it just it just makes me think to myself, like them, some people don't want to learn, some people just want to talk ship and these are these are actual because I'll be going, I listen, I'll click on the page and then I'll listen to the music and I'll see what's going on, and I'm like, it ain't no way that you believe.

Because inventory is a motherfucker right, just listening as a motherfucker.

Yeah, just listening, like just like, okay, let me let me hear it, and by me hearing it and listening to it, let me let me actually see where I fall within what I'm listening to, like from from from a work standpoint, from the amount of work you're putting in, to a sonic standpoint, to a release standpoint, to a marketing except to whatever it is.

Where do I fall within what I'm listening to and how it's performed for them?

Where do I fall within it?

And that's the honest conversation that I don't know.

I don't I don't know if people don't want to have it or if they can't have it, because what I also know is that all levels aren't meant for everybody.

Right, everybody can't understand stand what we do.

Yeah, and they can't understand always the intent.

They don't.

They can't, no matter, no matter like we can say, we can have a help convention.

Right, this is for help.

If you need to help anything you need help with, that is why we're here to help you.

Right, what do you need?

There's gonna be somebody at that convention.

It's gonna be like this, man, this goddamn help.

Damn Nigga, Why nigga, Why nigg got to help so much?

Like Okay, I got everybody in here helping.

God, God, damn you see all this shit.

I ain't coming tomorrow.

It's too much motherfucker helping here.

Man.

It's just niggas just helping, helping and helping.

Nigga.

God, it's it's always that group of whatever the I don't know what that is.

Yeah, it's the yang.

Light cannot exist without darkness and vice versa.

Yeah, you know, and so we try, but we still try.

No, absolutely, we still try to try it.

I mean, and for me, I love I love doing it.

I think it's it's it's actually a labor of love.

Like I love doing it.

I love having the conversations because, as they say, it's if you can help one, I feel like we happen way more than one.

Yep, you know what I mean.

I would like personally for the artists, the musicians, the executives, I would like for people to do more self auditing.

When I first came to La Bro, I had these ten songs and I said it before.

Once I sat in the studio and I saw what was really going on, I was like, oh, I suck.

I suck.

I'm weak.

I'm weak and I know I'm weak, And no, I'm not going to take that meeting at you I'm publishing that I was supposed to take with Michael mccorn And I was like, I'm not gonna take that meeting because I don't want him to think I'm weak.

Because I think I'm weak right now because I am.

I am comparing it to what I believe will be on the radio tomorrow, and I just didn't feel like I was at that level.

And I think that the Internet has made it where everybody just takes shots, and it's cool to take these shots, but it's a really tough space to put yourself in where if you're presenting yourself to whatever artist it is or whatever executive it is, and you're just you're you're spamming them with foolishness because you haven't truly audited.

Okay, let me give you perspective.

Okay, okay, please give your perspective there.

Let's let's talk auditors.

Right.

You can get like maybe one of your friends went to like an auditing school, you know what I'm saying, a local auditing school to learn how to audit things right, and he graduated in six months with whatever paper that comes with that local auditing thing, and he's Nigga, you need an audit I got you, baby.

And then there's the master auditor, who you know, went to Harvard and if this is even a thing, I'm really just making this up to have to get his auditing degree.

Because he didn't just need something to do.

He genuinely had an affinity for auditing, for problem solving, for digging, and he had a gift for it, and he wanted to see it all the way through.

Okay, now I'm a Now I'm a frame it and bring it all together.

Where someone has got the ox and played a track that completely destroyed the room, and then somebody said can I play something?

And they grabbed the OX and play something that is absolutely not on that level and you can't tell them it.

Is not.

Their auditing system.

Is that that local auditing school that they went to.

They just needed something to do, so they don't have the gift of auditing.

They're just they're just trying to audit because they need a job.

The master auditor has a gift, and the gift that the master uditor have, that regular auditor would never have.

That guy who played that track after that guy who just smashed the room, he'll never have the master auditor gift, so.

He can't hear it.

I don't believe that, Jay, I don't believe that.

I think some people are just crazy.

No, there's that too.

I think some people are crazy.

There's that too.

But you have to.

You have to leave room for they can't hear it.

They can't hear it, they can't do it.

They can't see it, they can't smell it.

They can't.

It's not that they don't want to.

They think they are, which is why there are levels to everything, like there's existence, like without the without the people who have to sit out there, there's no way we would be able.

To perform up here.

Agreed.

And a lot of those people are those same people.

That's the same thing that a nigga watching the NBA that he goes in and cooks at the park.

He think he gonna run up on Kyrie Irving.

Thinking you thinking about the about the work.

I've been shooting the same thousand shots Steph Curry's been shooting.

I'm about to cook him same thousand shots.

Don't had a gift?

He allright, all.

Right, it's it's.

It's it's the grace that.

That we have to extend.

Because when I did my first solo, my first lead in church, I thought I was killing You couldn't have told me you can hear it.

No, I could not hear it.

All I heard was me, that's crazy.

I couldn't hear it, and it took Auntie Betty got rest her soul to say you was off baby, real off.

She ain't just stop it off s real off rap.

And I said, okay, I gotta figure out.

I gotta find it.

Thank God for the gift, because then I had to tap into Okay, so what is she hearing?

Then I'm not hearing anything?

What Then I go?

Then I become a master auditor.

Yeah, no, no, I gotta I gotta clean this up.

So you're saying that.

The bad rappers their girlfriends should stop lying to them.

Their girlfriends might not be lying to him.

Listen, a woman in love you, it's gonna buy all the way in.

I got my boyfriend's mixtape.

You should check this out.

This should jumping nigga.

He way better than Drake pick I.

Also also, yeah, that's crazy.

I also feel like rap is different than R and B.

Then rapping is different than singing.

I just feel like, you know, if you can't sing, you don't Okay, I've seen we've seen them, just I know.

But like.

Even the niggas that have had hit records that can't sing, they still like, yeah, you know, hold on right, they still keep it a bus.

I know we have this thing idemized right as to go in certain order, but the way you're talking, we have to go here, right, Jay, just look at the challenges.

Just just look at let's just start.

This is really fun.

I'm glad you're doing them.

Let's just let's just narrow down to the recision.

I just don't like that people tag me.

Just leave me.

You're the authority.

Why would they tag you authority?

I Am not going to judge your challenges unless you keep bothering, which they've been bothering me.

Jas must not have ears on your head to put some of this shit out.

Jay, A nigga hit me and said, nigga, I sound dead on Chris Brown.

Check mine out.

He didn't, he told me.

And if he was as good as the source as mind you, we're not fucking with Chris Brown on this song.

I'm a singer's singer.

Chris Brown did something so fucking special to that song, unattainable.

No one can catch him on that, nobody.

It's a rap.

But for you to say I'm on his ass.

And not not even gloves.

Not not even being the same universe, just because you have the autotune in the right key, Lord, Lord Lord, if that autotune would have been off, Lord Jesus.

But he believed that when he sent that to he actually asked me to be a collaborator on it, not reposting that Ruber understand this.

But they can't.

They cannot hear that.

And I'm wise enough to know I have the master auditing to know that I can do my part and not sound crazy and at least give my thing to what that challenge is.

But I'm in no way gonna ever step out there and say, Nigga, I'm dead on Brown's ass with this, when you niggas better, I'm not, I know no.

But here's the flip to that, right, if he doesn't say that, maybe he don't even stick out amongst the thousands that have sent that are sent in because that type of statement makes you at least pay attention to it.

But here is the here is what happens with that for me, And I think going back to why I didn't take that meeting a long time ago when I first had my little ten Songs and I was trying to get a publishing deal, it's because I believed, in first impression, I will see your name again and I'm not ever clicking on again.

A nigga only got one time to really send me a bad batch of records.

I see you as a bad batch of records, and this is niggas that I know.

Personally, I'm like, you're a bad batch of records.

Do you.

When their name come up?

I can't, I can't confirm or deny that.

But for me, I am a person that believes in first impressions and you should always put your best foot forward.

And I think the reason I even you know I had made that that one post about the challenges was I just looked at it as if people are giving you an opportunity, because this is the challenge is on the opportunity, people get noticed.

People.

Yeah, people get a real real chance, you know, from from what you've what you've been doing, and especially you also go above and beyond with reposting and putting on your story, sometimes even putting on your page and introducing artists that people may know, people may may not know, may see somebody in a different light because you put it on your page and you have a really big platform.

My thing is that if I was in that position personally, I would not send it until I felt like, this is the greatest thing that I could possibly do, because when people see this, I could really get an opportunity from this and this, this could possibly change my life by somebody who not even just send it you seeing it, somebody that's connected to you, somebody that just happens to go on your page and sees this person that could help them.

I've gotten many a calls about some of those posts like this.

You see that one where they.

Are somebody hit me and be like, bro, I didn't even know such and such a thing like that, Are this person cold and that person?

And then some people are like, yeah, man, that damn that nigga is what and this is and this is not this is established artists.

Yeah, it's because that was not me taking a shot at up and comers.

That was me taking a shot everyone.

Who is not who knows that's foot foward, who knows better, especially the ones who know better.

Who knows knows better and we've heard better from Yeah, and this is But then that also goes to the challenge of the song though too.

Yeah, it absolutely goes to the challenge of the song because it's and this is different and just re singing a hook challenge.

You kind of you put a challenge out there for someone to be a writer, a producer and a singer.

Yep, right, this is like can you get because the levels are these and not not the level of I'm talking about the actual audio levels.

Yeah, killing you gotta make ship.

Makes good.

Man.

Come on, man, there are YouTube tutorials.

Man down here or up here, and then Chris is right here.

It did overseeing him and do forty seven thousand runs.

Y'all know how I feel about all that damn run.

You feel about the runs?

You know I feel about all that damn running.

Man, this, if you're gonna do all that running, give me some because they accidentally vegan and I am not.

But but yeah, so that's that's my whole thing with the child is it was funny because of course I got attacked, which I thought it was hilarious.

But but you.

Somebody literally said, I don't even care if he blocked me.

Well, that defeats the purpose for you to listen if if it hurts you, hit dog's house, hit dog's house.

Come on, man, just I just you know I've been there.

I've been the artist trying to get a record deal.

Getting a record deal, getting out of a record deal, putting out independent records.

I've listen, I've run the gamut of all of it, and I figured out how to be successful in music, right, So I feel like if i'm especially and I've been to me, I've been more successful on the executive and the writing side, so kind of know some shit about how to put some things in place, and I'm just giving that information, like and maybe I will also, you know, I'm not I'm not a I'm not going to write a full paragraph and maybe I should sometimes because things can be taken so many different ways, you know what I mean, Things can be taken Maybe you should do a live behind your post.

Maybe I should.

Maybe I should do a.

Live alive behind the post.

If you want to talk to me about should I said, tune in, tune in them alive.

I might even tap you.

In and let you sing.

And if you have but now you can you all sing lee sing your challenge?

Yeah?

Yeah, so yeah, I think you know that that's all.

And that again for us is like as we dive into that with these challenges and all these things, like that is all why we do this, you know what I mean too, to these journeys, these opportunities, all of these things, these successes, the failures, all of these things are wrapped into no matter who's sitting in that hot seat, no matter what they do, no matter where they come from, We're all trying to understand the parts that we can extrapolate and apply to what it is that we do.

Working hard.

I don't give a fuck what it is.

Working hard applies to everything.

Everything.

I learned something on every episode.

Yeah yeah, personally with that, I learned something on every episode, no matter who we bring on.

Because everybody's path has been different.

We have certain things that are parallel and you know, oh yeah that happened to me too.

But for the most part, everybody's experience is theirs, and I try to I try to take from everybody's, even the ones that you know.

I'm not an agreeable person at all times, So some things I may not agree with, but I'm like, Okay, I get it.

I get it.

Maybe I wouldn't have done it that way, but I get it and I respect it because some things worked out for you, you know what I mean?

And like I said, I just take that as I hope that the people that tune in and I believe that the majority of people that tune into the show and tune into the challenges and all these things really can take something from it and really can grow from it.

And you know, every now and then, I just got jokes.

I'd be having jokes.

You just be hard jokes.

Well, yeah, I got a little more dark humor.

My humor is a little dark, spirally one.

I'll be one to help.

I mean, well, speaking of pods, let's let's let's let's do a top five pod.

Let's the top five pod.

You're gonna do?

Yeah, you do five, I do five.

We'll go, we'll go one, one and one.

We'll just go back and forth.

Give me your first one, in.

No particular, no particular order, in no particular order, babyface.

Mm hmmm, babyface.

Because just his journey, bro him and him, you know, literally writing his life, him writing his life, him adapting too.

I want to be an artist, and I gotta figure out how to create the artist package of myself and him just not just taking somebody, not even just somebody l a read telling him, well, you ain't there yet, you know what I mean?

Obviously I used the term breathe, but he just told me like, you're not there.

You're not an artist yet.

And I think in this day and age, somebody would have been like, what you mean.

I'm not an artist?

But a Babyface said, oh self, Audity, I don't.

I don't look like that.

And this is what and this is where I want to be, and this is who I want to be.

So let me, let me go, give me a trench coat, let me go.

You know I need you know what I'm saying, Like, I know my songs good, I want to sing him.

I don't just want to give him away, you know what I'm saying.

So I think baby Faces episode was really important for me.

And you know, anybody that knows me knows that baby Face is my favorite, you know what I mean.

So I think his episode was super important for me.

I'm gonna go with Jamie Fox's my first Yes.

Yes, yes for a few reasons.

One, I mean, kick us off, kick us off, shout out to fIF Man.

We went straight to the move like and then it being a guy who was very instrumental and in getting me to the place where I am and fighting for me and giving me, you know, giving me refuge.

You know what I mean When I needed it, you know what I'm saying, to have him be very instrumental and in just kicking this thing off, this journey off for us.

Like he came and pulled up towards when we didn't have nothing.

We had nothing for concept Neil, we had nothing.

Jamie come to our pod, all right, I'm on the way.

That's awesome in a minute, And to do that, I meant at the at the level like I mean, I think it's me and you are the same, Like we're not like we're not settled into like people who are friends with us, people who are family with us, We're not just settled into that.

We respect who they are and what they've accomplished.

Also, we don't take that part for granted.

And Jamie Fox every award, oscar, every level of entertainment at the highest height, like he's a list to just say I'm on the way, like that was just it couldn't be that.

Yeah.

Another one for me would be.

I mean Chris Brown, Yeah, no, I mean Chris Brown is I mean his episode was really important because I felt like we created a safe space for him naturally, not like we purposely were like, oh, we gotta know.

I just felt like, you know, because of our relationship with him and knowing him for so long and our love and respect that we all have for each other, made it where people could see him in a different space where he was more comfortable.

And I just think his story and what he's what he's done should be studied.

I think it should be studied.

I've never seen and I was telling somebody this, I've never seen anyone in anything Rain for this long where they didn't have really anybody battling them at that level.

To me, like, there's.

No no one.

You know, I'm talking about during his reign, right, not like when he first got there, and yeah, she did, it took time, but I mean like his reign has been a good fifteen years of Chris and everybody trying to figure out how to compete with Chris more so than it's like, and I'm talking about from a record since where can you know when we thought about the people mentioned the verses and all those types of things, Niggas was gonna have to pull back from a long time ago before him, before him, not during his time, right, So I mean, ship even Michael Jordan had Dominique Wilkins, did you know what I mean, but.

You think Dominique won that one dunk contest?

He beat him in one dunk contest.

That's about it, right, But I don't, I don't really in Chris's I had there's nothing, hasn't lost contest.

He definitely ain't lost.

No serious, it's just a it's just a really it's just a really tough space for everyone because his output as well, you know what I mean, the quality of his output.

And like I said, I think for me, his episode was really important because knowing him for so long and also seeing him and interviewing him as a grown man.

Yeah, knowing him as a fourteen fifteen year old and then interviewing him in his thirties was like, wow, you know, this is real growth and I'm just proud to see it and to talk to him about the accomplishment.

So his his episode was really special to me.

I'm gonna go Mitchell Jones and Carl Read.

Aah yeah yeah yeah, and bringing.

Parks with him, bringing parks with him like my childhood heroes, Like there was John p Key, Reverend John p Key, and there was Commission m hm, and that is that that is where I forged.

Yeah, my my everything Mitchell Jones was the man I wanted to be.

Yeah, I want to sing just like Mitchell Jones.

Like when we the groups I was in, we would fight to see who would be Mitch.

I'm Mitch.

You know, I'm Mitch.

Like I'm Mitch.

I do everything miss does like come on, man, like let me be mischiev that Like it was that and like I cried during that episode.

I don't think people knew that I did.

You did a great job of talking a lot to keep I was.

I was cooked, I was.

I was just overwhelmed.

I was like, man, these guys are I'm talking to these guys.

I have a platform and I'm getting to just have this conversation with some guys.

I never ever thought as a kid that I would be in a room with not that capacity.

I thought take considered concerts.

You know what I'm saying.

I've gone and seen them on stage.

I've walked past them at like big gospel conventions like that, the commission cook that, and now I'm sitting down chopping it with him, you know what I'm saying.

And Mitchell like, man, you you're an assassin.

Bro.

You nice with it, right, I'm nice with it.

You mean that he was really crying.

I was cooked her Thomas commission bro.

And you know, people can be like you count too many, But I want to merge because I have so much respect for all four of these guys, Her Lily, James Fauntleroy, John T.

Austin, and Sean Garrett.

You're sick.

You can't do that, I know, but it's our show and I gotta like, I gotta take this moment.

I gotta take this moment because they were so much inspiration for me, and I don't even know if I've ever really told them that, you know, obviously when they were on the show, I'm telling them how much, you know, I love and respect and appreciated how much they did for music and did for me and just watching them work.

But the fact that I got a chance or that even and that we got a chance to really highlight the soundtracks to everybody's lives of the last twenty twenty five years, because between those four guys, as a songwriter, everything like people don't understand each one of their runs, and I feel like there's such unsung heroes and this whole thing of music, not just R and B music, but just in music.

In general, because it's highlighted amongst the purists and the people who know music.

But it's not like they're getting the adoration and that type of respect just in the streets, because most people don't even know, you know what I mean?

Like I meant that when I said, like Harold Lily was my neighbor for ten years and just walking around cooking up, had never done an interview, had never done you know what I'm saying, And you don't know my name?

And can I take you out tonight and brave my hair and predictable, you know what I'm saying.

Because Harold he really never jumped out because he wasn't trying.

You know, he never even attempted his artistry really from that standpoint, so you really never saw him, you know what I'm saying, Like you or heard his name, You would hear James, You would hear John Say, you would hear Sean because they were also artists, right.

But those four those episodes are really important for me to be able to give that platform to guys that I have so much love and respect for.

And like I said that, I even though we're all around the same age, I look up to those guys's from their accomplishments and the things that they've done.

So I know I cheated, I get it, but those four twelve year but we do that to everybody else.

Casey Ah, we got to sing harmony with Casey.

We sang harmony.

We sang harmony.

Do you believe in love and the promise that it gets?

I want to love you for life because your love.

We sang that.

Mister ooh yeah, yeah himself, you understand.

Okay, that's a that's a legendary moment.

As we said, commissioned and John p Key, I now introduce you to to me falling in love with R and B music in two places where it starts with Jodasy and R Kelly.

When I used to go to different churches and sing basically like you sound like a gospel Jodasy.

Because I was, And that was the biggest compliment you could possibly Yeah.

You couldn't tell me nothing.

You couldn't tell me nothing out there.

Yeah, yeah, is that what you heard?

You heard that because that's what she's going for.

Yeah, I'm glad you heard that.

Casey sitting right there.

Yeah, so you having my baby and it means so much to me There's nothing more precious than the raise of family to sing to.

The first time I ever saw him was with Little Cedric and the Haley Singers at a church in Wisconsin, running down the middle aisle, singing court that music, singing the face off, singing that liquor, Yeah, game j J.

Another one for me, obviously would be and A.

People that know me, if his babyface is is La, it's the face for me is being able to have both of them and give both of them their episodes.

La read Bro.

It's just he's a wealth of knowledge.

He understands and loves R and B music, you know what I mean, even though he's done multiple genres of music, which he came on here and talked his talk and shit about the things that he signed and the things that he's you know, helped become these artists and these you know, become superstars.

He is R and B music, like La and Babyface are R and B music, just like you know Jimmy and Terror R and B music, right, And but I think having having those business conversations were really cool because I think those are the two sides of me.

Right.

As much as I love as much as I love music, and as much as I you know, I love the art of music, I love the business.

I really do like figuring out ways to make the business make sense for myself and for other people.

So to talk to somebody like like an La read and for him to give his take on all of it, man, that was mind blowing.

And it took it.

It took a minute to get him to, you know, to pull up, because you know, I think people at that level, they they already know some of the gripes that we talked about earlier.

They know that it'll be judged in some a certain way.

They know that it'll be you know what I mean.

So they're like, why would I even And I once again, I just I love that we've created this safe place for people that are in this industry and have done with what they've done in the game to say, you know what, I'm willing to go sit with them.

I want to talk to those guys because it'll be different, It'll be different, It'll be different.

So you know, I really loved his episode favorite.

I love I love it.

I love it.

Yeah, I'm gonna go Smokey Robinson, Smokey Robinson for me.

Yeah, Yeah, I've been screaming the authority of R and B since we started this right and for a long motherfucking when Smokey Robinson walked in the door.

The authority of R and B music set in that motherfucking chair.

He's the authority on all things R and B.

You can't tell me nothing else.

When I scream, we are the authority on R and B music, we had Smokey Robinson sitting right there.

He signed, he signed the record in the front, and we're gonna pull up on him.

We've been giving clearance to pull up on him and sit down with him and talk nuance on how to build an empire from R and B motherfucking music.

Yeah, for sure.

I you can't.

You can't tell me nothing.

You can't tell me nothing.

Listen, listen, I gotta you know there's let me write this down.

There's a couple of people that you know, I want to get who we're looking forward to having the pot to me write this down real quick.

It's almost said the name almost jumped the gun, and I don't want to jump the gun.

Save my guns, all right.

Uh, well, that's only four from you and four for me, all right, it's fourteen for me.

But let's yeah, you're like, you're eighty seven, so you got one more?

Oh favorite, my favorite, just you know right now, one of my one of my tops.

Okay, Michelle, that was That was a incredible episode.

Michelle bro incredible.

Came and share her story, her drive, everything that she went through to get to the place that she's at, just because I didn't know it, you know what I mean, Because that's the other thing about me, I you know, and you know, some people may look at this like, oh, you should do more research on us.

I do do research, but I don't really like to watch other interviews before we interview people.

I'd rather, you know what I mean, Like, I'd rather have just real conversation than to be looking for discovery, you know, and discovery more so than oh yeah, so I heard you said.

I don't want to do that.

So some things, if I don't really really know a person personally, I won't know.

And before we did that interview, I didn't know her personally like that, right, And man I was I was blown away since I didn't really I didn't know her as well.

I didn't know the full story as much as the story she gave because I'm sure she got way more, way more.

But I just her episode was lit bro y'all doing sex in Atlanta.

Its freestyle that that ship was, that ship was super dope and and I just I love cam Shield from that day for it, I was like, Oh, she's awesome.

For my last one, I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna go.

Snoop Dogg.

His episode was so legendary.

Snoop Dog don't go nowhere for nobody unless there's a bag.

I'll tell you that Snoop Dog is a business.

Yes, yes man, Yeah, yeah, his dial up is crazy.

His his memory, bro the history connected to that man, man who to me and probably to you too, is the most recognized rapper in the world.

Yes, yes, the most record where I don't care where you go.

I don't care what color you are, I don't care.

What God you serve.

You know Snog you know Snoop Do you know Snoop Dog?

She bare Joseph.

She didn't talk about when WII where we will why she was standing in the corner waiting when every time I turned, she was looking like it's time you better introduce me.

I want to meet the dog.

So when I finally was like you want me Snoop, She's like yes, yes, yes, yes, like immediately was not playing about meeting the dog.

His his business just just it's just to me, his evolution in business and branding and building, which is just something.

Like you said, to be steady.

I don't think people are listening or watching him enough and applying, like really listening to what he's doing.

Like Snoop Dog, don't wear nobody clothes, snoop dog were dog clothes.

It's snoop dog sweatsuit, it's snoop dog shoes, it's snoop dog socks and draws.

He's not smoking anybody else's weed.

He's smoking snoop dog weed.

He's not drinking out of anybody else's cups.

These are Snoop dog cups.

I've never seen anything like that.

I've never seen anything like it.

Nah, not like that, not like that, not like that.

He is he is walking business, walking business.

And then he got all the hit records that you want and hit records.

I just think that like for me, he is a he is a study guy for me.

He's a steady guy for us in business and and not like not saturating himself to the point to where I don't even think there's a thing of oversaturation, right, but being smart about the things he's connected to and how he uses them to always keep his fucking cool.

Yeah, keeps his cool man controversy.

Even he's still the dog.

The dog foll snoops.

Okay, am, I I'm going you're you're up, Somebody tell a story.

I just ain't about to say no names.

So years ago, there was a certain young R and B diva who I had known him passing, And there was an athlete HOMEI of mine that was you know, we.

Was that was my dog, my dog.

And one night we was we was out and you know we we uh, we were being responsible.

Hm.

So we had taken a car service, you know, from his crib, and then I was gonna take another car service from his crib to my crib, right like you know it's gonna do that.

Actually, I'm sorry.

It was gonna drop him off and then drop me off take me to my house, right.

But as we're approached in his house, he goes, hey, bro, come in crib for like like fifteen minutes.

I'm like, what, I'm going home.

We're like no, no, no, no, some something about to pull up.

So I'm like, ah, here we go, right, and you know, I decide, I'm like, all right, you know, being niggas, being young niggas.

This was years ago.

I'm like, I need to see what he what he got pulling up?

Right, because we all go through this.

Do the athletes get do the R and B niggas get uh dode?

We both know, right, So he's not giving me a full heads up.

He's just saying I need to stay.

So I'm like, all right, cool.

Not five minutes later, the doorbell rings, I'll be right back.

That's my I'm like a shot.

So he proceeds to walk back in with a young lady that knew me, not personally like that, but we knew each other.

And it's three in the morning and she's walking into said athlete's house and when she sees me, it's like she sees a ghost even though we had you know, we had no history.

Of course I put that out there.

We had no history.

But you know, walking into a house at three in the morning after the club, it's tough to see somebody you know in that house.

So she's like, right, we have that moment.

We laugh it off.

She knows what it is.

I know what it is.

I'm like, hey, y'all, I gotta go.

Literally that interaction.

Now the story gets a little deeper, uh athlete, because at the time I'm living back and forth in La and San Francisco.

I got spot in both, and now I'm in San Francisco.

About a week later, the homie hit me.

They're playing one of the Yeah, they're playing one of the Bay Area teams, and he's like, bro, let's let's go out in the Bay let's you know, let's what's what's popping.

I'm like, what in San Francisco it's usually only one spot on this night.

He's like, Oh, we're there, hit the DJ.

I don't ask who else might be there, who could be hosting the club, any of those things.

We get to the club and as we're walking in, who do we see?

Same R and B Diva, But this time she's in the club.

With her R and B boyfriend.

Oh no, And.

I'm like, oh shit, this is really interesting because I don't think she was single last week man when she was going into this man's house.

And but I don't know her boyfriend like that.

It's not a guy I really know to this day, I don't really know it, right, it's not I just you know, I don't.

It's another guy in the industry.

And I called him her R and B boyfriend, but he was more of industry boyfriend.

Right.

They may have done some R and B may have done some may have done something right, And I'm this is crazy.

And I see them kind of catch a little eye contact, but act as if they don't know each other.

What is what is the the the club promoter wants to do.

He wants to put our table right next to theirs?

Why not?

Why not make it because that's what you do.

The club promoter doesn't know.

It's like, oh, I got the R and B in the house.

I got to and I got jas Allentown.

Who from the city up in here?

We up in here all the star Yeah yeah, m hm.

The homie leans over it says, look at this text.

We hadn't been in the club two minutes no sir, R and B Diva is apologizing in the text within two minutes of us we might ain't definitely ain't no bottles game.

I'm not sure if we've even fully set out.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know you were gonna be out here.

This looks crazy.

I'd rather be with you, like honest, yeah, yeah, and yeah, and we partied and laughed and I'll never forget it.

I never forget it, man.

It was.

It's very interesting, very interesting time every time I see this young lady.

That is because every now and then I see her.

Every now and then I see her and we kind of both just laugh because she didn't end up with either one of them.

But you know, that's the world saying on that.

I ain't saying on that.

That's good.

Ooh, that's how it can sum up out here, man, quickly.

Yeah, because it's really small.

But it's not.

But it is.

It's not if you, if you, if you have any type of motion, then the places you're going to end up are places where people who have motion are going to be.

This is what I've also always told every woman I've ever dated, just tell me, because I know everybody.

Yeah, just tell me.

Yeah, don't think because they were generations before I was in the game that I ain't ran into this guy or don't know this guy and don't have me in them rooms like that just because I ain't tripping once you tell me it's oh he was wild.

Cool, you lived your life.

But don't put me in a position where I'm in that room and I don't know and it's Texas being exchanged, even if y'all not still dealing with each other.

But like, just nigga sending me an extra bottle a su spade, I see you playing, no nigga, don't let me drink no ship from a nigga that used to poor.

Man.

Don't let me drink champagne from a nigga who used to poor champagne.

Own you.

That's all I ask.

That is a great rule.

That's all I ask.

All.

That's all I ask.

That's it.

That's it.

But yes, Oh that's a good that really happened in real life.

Okay, I'm gonna do it.

I can't.

I can't.

I'm not gonna go that way.

I'm gonna go different.

That was great.

My humor is dark, Yeah, just so so I'm a young kid and I get signed as a kid to this label and you know everything about the guy who owned that label.

Mm hmm.

The conversation was very like you know it, you know, this is like this, this is a black man.

You know what I'm saying.

It's like, in a sense, like the ultimate black man.

You know what I mean?

Is what I feel like.

I'm I'm I'm looking at you know what I'm saying, and like just from from a success standpoint, and it's the people he was involved with, I'm like, and just the conversation about the brothershood, the brothers are sticking together and looking out for each like all these things.

Right, I'm like, Okay, all this, all this sounds great.

I want to be down.

You know what I'm saying.

I'm with some guy, other guys that have brought me to this guy.

I'm like, let's yeah, let's put it all together.

And so, you know, we fly out to New York two do a couple of meetings, you know, with with said executives.

And while we're doing while we're meeting going to meet him, he's like, you guys, come with me to me with this company that I have partnership with I've got a few partnership will come to me with this meeting, you guys can sit in and see.

You know how all this goes?

Like cool?

All right, kid, I'm like I'm rolling.

And so we get into this meeting, sitting at this big meeting at this big record company, and we're talking about a soundtrack, a soundtrack in which this executive has multiple artists and multiple songs on the soundtrack, some of the biggest artists in the game at that moment.

And while we're sitting there, they're talking about singles for the soundtrack, what songs we're going to do singles for And as they're announcing the singles, as they get to one, two, and three, at no point have they said any of the artist and songs that the executive that I was there with brought to the table.

Now, mind you, just to give you some context, they called this executive guy who I'm with, to bring these artists in this music to help elevate the soundtrack, and then in turn didn't make any of those records the singles.

Now, mind you, I've been in meetings where there's been you know, disagreements and dust ups.

Of course, I've been in it, but this is my intro into the music business, you know.

And I'm thinking, Okay, we're in this space where I guess if there's some to any type of disagreement, they'll, in a very business way, have this conversation.

And so the executive that I'm with perceive to ask the question and says, so, who made the decision on these singles?

And you know, one guy at the head of the table, very uh, very matter of factly and very boss he says, I made the decision.

And the executive that I was with proceeds to say, why don't you think that was a dumb motherfucking decision?

And what is going on?

He said, what do you mean?

What the fuck do you think?

I mean?

You motherfuckers dragged me all the way over here to elevate your shit.

That wasn't about shit, bring you my motherfucking multimillion record selling artists just so you could pull some bullshit like me, you motherfucking crackers.

I ain't ever gonna get this shit off while I'm alive.

I'm like, you say, crackers shit, and proceeds to to lay into.

The entire table and staff of this record company like they were children, then says matter of fact, I don't even want to talk to you motherfuckers no more.

You motherfuckers is nobody's I'm going upstairs to see the motherfucker that pays you bitch, motherfucker that.

Wow, I'm sitting there like this, Yeah, put some respect.

Respect needless to say, uh it.

Singles were number one, two, and three on that soundtrack.

And I don't recommend you do this in a meeting where you just agree.

I don't recommend this.

He was he was one, He's one of one.

But it worked.

It worked, you know, I don't.

I don't recommend the name calling.

I don't recommend the I don't recommend the abusive of any means.

People were concerned for their lives in this meeting, and and the singles changed and they probably should have.

Yeah, I will never ever, that was my intro to the music business, My first music business meeting at a level.

That was it aren't those aren't those those meetings?

There?

They interesting?

Ight there?

Back then?

Yeah?

Yeah, mm hmmm.

Back then in those days and this is this is late nineties for me.

When I first got into a meeting like that, you can really get fucked up.

Out here.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, they didn't used to have security at labels.

Let me thanks your dad.

Every label had security out for my father.

I remember coming back to l A.

I'm like, wait, so we just don't walk up no more, no, sir, sir, no sir, matter of fact, arm security.

You wait, especially you got some people need to.

Talk to you.

Oh.

Man, you know, it's all part of the process.

It was part of the process, man.

And I don't recommend that either.

I don't remember been going that route, but I do say you have to.

If you believe in something, you have to fight for what you believe in.

Yes, not with violence, but you know, with information and truly being able to Like you said earlier, just articulate.

If you can articulate what these records really mean and the impact that you believe that they'll have.

I think you should.

I think you should stand on who you are, who you are and your opinion, stand on your opinion, and be willing to deal with whatever repercussions that is because if it fails, yes, it's your ass it is, and you may not get that opportunity again.

But if you believe it's going to be successful, I personally believe that you should fight for that and not just accept a motherfucker telling you, yeah, I said that, Why did you say that?

And they should be able to tell you why they said that, why they think that it work.

But I'm glad it worked.

I'm glad it worked too.

I'm glad it worked.

I'm glad I was.

I was there, and I was, I was there, I was.

I guess I was gonna by default go down with the ship for sure.

Everybody, just everybody.

I just got here.
