there you know probably gonna help you right help you help you really put the [ __ ] together you know what I'm saying because that's what I do that help you put your [ __ ] together you know what I'm saying I'm I'm a high level you know I'm a highle producer writer and singer you know you you probably need me I'm I'm on the way and I get in there and you play this song called take my time yeah and you say yeah big bro I got I got I kind of model it off after sex love and pain and it it's already good oh you just you just sing your verse right this your verse and I was like so he doesn't need me he doesn't need me and bro it was like the craziest I'd never seen a learning curve that small to where first album it was like people were giving you things yeah I had to learn I that was like school for and by your second album you had already figured it out yeah and it was scary to see I was like where's he gonna be on his third album where's he gonna be and now yeah to many years later now it's just records being broken now he just breaking your own records yeah trying to set the Guinness World Records bro and it's and it's not even it's not even close you know what I'm saying um we like to start at the begin I just had to start there because I just I just when I felt like I wasn't needing any more musically I just kind of s no but but I called him I was like big bro get on the record so it's was like I I didn't feel the record at that time it would be like me stealing a record from you like you get what I'm saying if I didn't involve you in record cuz I'm like I was inspired by your song to do the song so I was like let me get on the record with me bro like and I can talk I can talk a little bit more adult now on the song cuz I'm older you know before I had to learn him like oh I can't say that I can't say this and then by the time like even working with you from car Hills and Adonis you know like working with all these different writers uh Dre and Vidal all them like back in the day I was 15 14 doing that album my first album man that's that was like learning so like I said I was in school like okay this is how you do it this is how you make a song there's a verse a precourse and then a hook I didn't know none of that so you learned that over a summer bro man that's what it felt like that's what it felt like it felt like that absolutely it took me to the place of being where where I was the teacher it took me to a place of then reverting back to a student damn like like watching him work like that and I was like okay he different literally I don't know if we've ever told you this but we've literally worked with you got in the car and then implemented some of the [ __ ] you do peri no no no [ __ ] bro like you may look at us like oh them is the big brother no [ __ ] we've literally worked with you and be like [ __ ] did you watch how he and then he did his vocal this way oh yeah like no we paying attention yeah that's sporadic how how we record like I learned remember how everybody used to have to record like we used have to punch no it was really no punching you had to sing that whole verse yeah the same thing right so once technology got faster I was like we can still do the same amount of effort as far as you remember how how how I do my stacks so how it's it's it's faster to me because it's like in in section and I can just put them all together and then it looks like a painting so that's what I was kind of learning so if y'all if y'all implemented certain [ __ ] I'm like damn y'all was looking at what I was doing I'm stealing [ __ ] you kidding me I I Ed I use the big word you you use the great word you know what I'm saying thank you [ __ ] I'm stealing stealing I I'm at the house like Jesus Christ yeah how we get that how do we get that I ain't going to do the dance mve to go with and slow it down a little bit like a making he's here now Chris is here so Chris Brown that's [ __ ] brown just so you know yeah that's that's [ __ ] brown over there and he always mentions you when he mentions his dance moves for some odd reason because you have to understand I'm the older version of Chris Brown since since genuine won't do the dances you know what I'm saying I I tell the [ __ ] first of all come on do the [ __ ] pony dance he won't do the [ __ ] pony dance so it upsets me doing it right now so now I got to pick up the mantle I got to go back to my freaky days you know what I'm saying video I'm doing somersaults you know what I'm saying I'm blowing up [ __ ] buildings you know what I'm saying like I got to go back to those days just to show people I'm really that yeah so what he telling you is he was you for you I no I'm I can't I'm not saying that what I'm saying is don't think don't think I ain't got feet we all got feet I got feet they don't all work the same though Brown let's go might be two Lefty but his it's a left and let's go to the beginning the beginning of when when did somebody identify that you had something special or when did you I mean as you know like I think I was like uh probably about nine when I was like okay I actually can sing I was in the choir and I was like cool they gave me the leads and I was like I'm seeing people like yeah baby when I'm singing inur Church yeah and I'm like oh I really sound good to these people cuz you know your family members is always going to hate man shut up you don't sound like so I really took it serious like nine or 10 and then my mom was we were in uh tapah hening and I was like look I met these people we just got to drive like an hour and a half away like wait wait you met the people yeah I met them I met the people through through through like one guy I met him through like three different people so I I maintain a close relationship with a guy that was around my age and and we always but he he would always dance he'll take me to like the radio like look let's go to the radio station while they doing like they new artist stuff let's let's see if we can slide in there and we just play our stuff and we just dance so I I hung with him and then he got noticed by like Troy Taylor's people and a group of different different uh like guys that that they knew around the Virginia area so from there we started working and then I met the people I met in New York and so that that was like all all in like a three to four year process but it was like soon as I said M I want to do this it was like basketball practice okay drive hour in the away you in the studio till 6:00 in the morning drive back 98 at what age at [ __ ] 10 11 oh man yeah 10 shout out to your mama man yeah Mama Mama Mama saw a vision and she made sure I still went took my ass to school but at the same time she was like all right if you want to do this you going to have to have the same discipline and you can't be slacking off on certain [ __ ] so I got too much energy as it is so I was like [ __ ] I'm not F I'm F to do this so are people writing songs for y'all like producing songs y'all just recording are yall a group like what's going on uh well I was never I was never in a group the only group I was in was with uh my boy TJ shout out to TJ freeh him uh but freem yeah yeah yeah he he he he he be out in he by the summertime but back in the day he was the rapper you know what I'm saying and I and I would get on the songs with him and just be on the ches like you know do Hooks and stuff and we would write little stuff and it really won't like good at the time when we was young young but it was for our age it was like exceptional people like okay y'all got some potential you remember we was man this name sensationals all my all my fans know my my rap name so he he was TJ nice and C Sizzle you was oh you was a Sizzle man it was I was playing basketball so hot sauce I was like Sizzle was a word you could say back then I wouldn't be C Sizzle now MC hurricane and C sizzle you [ __ ] would have never made it sh hell no they would hell no we would have made it they would like get him out of here I would have been the the punk ass executive y'all come sing like man if you don't get Sizzle and hurricane the [ __ ] out of here man on me again brother a on me look at R&B look what R&B is done for y'all too man what was the next level up when it was like when was it like okay this [ __ ] is getting serious or we found a record or we found a moment where so when I start are starting to so I had my first I think it got serious to me when I booked my and this had nothing to do with music at the time but because we showcased our musical Talent we booked the job it was for a gunit campaign oh [ __ ] right and so like I was like you know what 50 Cent he GNA be able to see us he going to be at to F at the shoot we can give him my demo we can sing you know the typical like I want to get sign [ __ ] so we actually did the audition they was like man you kids are phenomenal and they booked us boom we got there we w we backstage with all of them like I I but I never really hung with 50 at that time he just was always respectful like what's up y'all boom boom but we was around Lloyd Banks a couple of different guys and but we were bad little kids like you know what I'm saying we already had weed and and [ __ ] like so we was like we we we trying to smoke our weed on the side they like man what y'all doing right right so like no we rap and we sing so we started performing with them and then they was like you know what man y'all [ __ ] is dope and then I remember one [ __ ] like man but we don't know how to [ __ ] Market no damn kids we some gangsters so I was like so I was like damn like I understood it but it was just like okay this [ __ ] about to be real for us cuz other artists actually looking and not saying the typical oh that's cool you know what I'm saying so like real real artists who actually do the [ __ ] and people we was looking up they was the hottest group at the time hottest group in the world you know what I'm saying so like for us that was like seeing seeing Gods like okay cool we get to see all our all our Idols in one and they like our stuff and then from there our demo tape started going out like we had a but I was only how I got discovered I had a uh solo song that I did it's called whose girl is that you can go look at it on YouTube I was like I think I was 12 or 13 when I shot it so this was sh a video two or two yeah so so [ __ ] but it was like back then you know that was that it was like the bootleg videos you know how uh what year is this what year is this man this got to be 200 what three 2002 so it might have it might have been on DVD I thought I thought it might have been on VHS no no no we had we had it on on DVD on DVD okay yeah yeah yeah if it was VHS I like oh you would heard the the popping before the video start yeah but when we did we did the video like it wasn't it wasn't really expensive but you know because it was independent we was like okay cool we going we going to shoot it like this and the demo tape actually the video didn't even go out cuz we didn't have no platform to put it on we would just ship ship it or shop it with our our demos so the demo I was number seven out of a song of maybe like 28 but with seven different or seven or eight different artists it was like a damn mixtape Mi yeah so but Bic Bally they were shopping it out to to other labels to see and I remember Tina Davis to this day shout out to Tina Davis she she listen to the songs like who's this kid and then I want to meet this kid and that's when I went to Death Jam and and she had the meeting with us and then from there they wanted to sign us and then you know a merger happened she left and I was like hold on but Tina you listen to me first so could you you want to manage me I don't got no manager like she's like cool but you want to stay here or I can get you some other deals I said you can get me when you when so does the company get the deal and you're part of that deal so what it was was the company did a deal with me when I ended up signing with uh with Jive at the time the company we we just paid them out for the work that they already did and then we gave them points on the album and they would always they got override so they so they always get credited so that that that classic album they're always going to eat from it you know what I'm saying so the way I looked at it was it was cool because they didn't hold me into a n you got to be like this we get we taking your publishing we need all they didn't they didn't strong arm at all cuz and and they they believed in the dream you get what I'm saying to this day TJ's father was the guy who who really put it together so and me and TJ are brothers even with his kids with everything so it's like how I how I looked at it was like damn they gave me a shot and they let me they let me do what I needed to do because there have been labels that have held artists and you never get a chance to see if if an artist is going to be become a star because they're just trying to do what they consider to be business instead of actually caring about the artist yeah yeah and and then Mark Pitts how how they did it with us with Mark pittz uh the actual production company I was working with they they they brought me right to Mar pits with Tina so when when we went to a job they was like you know what we don't want to let y'all leave the building like and I and I built a bigger rapport with Mark out of any other anr that I would meet like you know Kevin L was cool as hell but like Mark Pitts was like more Young connected he was energetic like he was like Hey man let's and you know J had everybody too they had Britney Spears Aaron Carter the time PE uh R Kelly they had everybody you know what I'm saying so I'm looking like who who's going to be the best for the genre that I'm doing who's going to be the best R&B genre you were already thinking about that 410 yeah cuz I needed I needed I always always wanted to execute a plan and know that it come with a lot of [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying like I'm not okay I'm not just do this right now to get some girls and then go back home I anything I could do to not go back home like you you what I'm saying to to elevate my life I I think planning I'm I'm very imaginative so so so my my uh what is it called my manifestations were already what like years in advance like I want to do this so you know so you you said Tina Davis um shout out to Tina Davis yeah shout out to the Bay Area yeah yeah yeah what's your when you get with Tina Davis what is what is first of all you spoke on it just like like a little bit in terms of you saying like something was something about her made sense for you yeah in terms of saying you know I'm I want to roll with you yeah what was that thing that you just connected with that just made you like cuz that's a different type of cuz you already in a building yeah right I feel like what she did she really kind of like showed me the first the first 10 minutes of me being in the office cuz we came in there me and TJ came in there red rags on beads like I had get we came we came on some gangster trying to trying to look tough she's like take that [ __ ] off take all that off but and when we when I started performing she would be like stop do this when you performing act like that this person the only person like so she gave me direction that I've never that I've never experienced and I was like this is the sharpening that I need in order to be big you get what I'm saying so once once she did that I was like damn she believed in me and and gave me a chance where somebody could have I they could have just let me go out how how I thought it was going to be and then they they like we don't want this yeah you know what I'm saying we with this kid she shaped it so I was like you know what if if I don't want to I don't want to Traverse through this whole kind of thing and not know where the [ __ ] I'm going that right there I want to see if she wants to manage me or or be a part of it because she she kind of like open to spark up in my in my creative brain or or seeing what I really needed to be and I think the reason I was asking you that is because as as like just as new artists emerge I think you know we see we see new artists with just with definitely a great level of confidence but um I want artists to make sure they're putting themselves in a position with people that challenge them yeah challenge them to be better yeah what is it called what we conditioning not conditioning uh like when we were younger you had to go through arst development development that's what it was so so as far as what we had to do is like you got to go through media training you got to go you got to know how to answer a question like you got to know how to think about a lost art you got to know how to lead the interview yeah like AB they have a goal but I have a [ __ ] goal facts I got [ __ ] that I'm selling yeah exactly I don't care what question you ask me we going to get back to this [ __ ] I promise you back that takes preparation though that takes preparation and and I remember my first time meeting you yeah in New York think you like 14 maybe about to be 15 at Ethiopia's office yeah uh when she was in publishing at the time at at the universal music publishing company and I was there on a writing trip and I never forget he walked in there she said it's a kid you got to meet she's like you have to meet him she's like he only in here for a minute but you got to meet him and she brought you to that room and I and literally like you said within 5 10 minutes I was like oh he about to be the biggest star in the world yeah she he was in the writing room I was in the little writing room yeah he was in the writing room I was in the little writing room I was like yo whoever the [ __ ] that is that [ __ ] everybody in trouble yeah she like and you know how that [ __ ] is cuz she was signing you from from a publishing set she was working with you on that so you know of course it's it's kind of one of those and you know this stage where everybody everywhere you're going before you crack off you're auditioning everywhere pretty much just in your personality whatever it is so when I tell her she's like yeah you you cuz I think he start I'm like yo he got it it's like he has it yeah and I hadn't seen anything like that because to me you were already even at 14 15 in my opinion you were already in the space of oh he's going to be able to transition into a adult artist too yeah even though you hadn't put out none of your kid records yet I saw it with you and just from your personality back you know back what they used to call used to call it Manish [ __ ] yeah oh yeah for sure he was Manish yeah I was I was looking at every Everything walking through the door with a skirt who that what's her name I'm like oh yeah I go talk to her you know that's the country in though like you want some lunch they driving at 10 in the country it starts early in the country yeah you grow up fast fast as [ __ ] so so you making when you get with now you start making rounds yeah right cuz you you made you made heavy rounds very early that most most new artists don't get to make no yeah you know what I'm saying and you made a stop at The Underdogs oh yeah facts oh yeah and I'm looking at this little [ __ ] I'm like okay I was in there I was nervous too though I ain't going to lie going in there with y'all cuz you got to think I'm I'm still learning singing like like it's still I got a natural talent but like to be in there and and hear y'all running scales all that I'm in there sweating but I'm not going to let y'all nigg no you wasn't scared I going to let y'all [ __ ] see you was you was going back with us though you was like all right [ __ ] a daredevil hey a daredevil and I as the [ __ ] I look look at him I'm like can you dance he said yeah [ __ ] I was like you can't dance and you popped I think it was a d or type of something yeah and I said I showed you the whole I think that's when we did the little school runs and I was showing you like the performances said oh you you can dance so I'm just I'm just trying to find a win I'm like can you hoop [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] I can hoop yeah let's go hoop then fact and it was like at every turn it was like this nigga's different yeah this [ __ ] do everything he's say he dance he hoop he Manish Manish for sure I love this [ __ ] yeah and not to speed forward but there was a point where I was like okay first you get a hit record let's start there out the gate yeah out the gate there was no sputter for you at all I was I was just surprised though I was I was like I didn't even realize how big the record was going to be like not to kill it now but I hated the record because I was doing R&B R&B songs so like Scott Storage I was like man I'm I don't know what what a hit is so I'm not going to tell him that this is not a hit right and he got a gang of hits yeah so I sat in there like man I don't really like this song We in Miami but I'm trying to tell Tina and all them like I don't think this is for me this song ain't we got so many other songs like the Yo song the Yo song I'm like s like so I'm I'm thinking all of that type cuz I wanted to be more more vulnerable and not but I also wanted to kick ass on the dance and I wanted to show off that so they was like n trust me this is it put it out and I didn't when it blew up I said what the like I'm I'm still in like what is it called impostor syndrome to this day I still know the feeling of how I felt when that [ __ ] went crazy I'm just like so when you do your deal cuz we went by that cuz I always ask this question yeah and at this point you're like 14 15 15 when you first get the deal done did they let you touch the money so how I did it see a lot of people don't know I didn't get signed for like you know how people get signed for oh I got signed for a million 8 million back then it was I got sign for like 150k okay right and so and then from there because I was underage my my mom was in control of it but most of it would be like in a in a trust yeah account yeah cgan account so I wouldn't be able to touch it so obviously we could she could go and withdraw stuff if I wanted to make purchases or I wanted to do stuff but nah I still was every bit of a teenager that that they made me so as a teenager what's the what's the first thing you buy oh do you remember Escalade bro yeah the deal that's what you got no you know what it was was it an Escalade or an it was like an I don't know if it's a it might have been Escalade or a 4 for something I remember it's a big truck it's been a while but I had the Lamborghini doors on it and like I put the doors that come up like your first car your first car had Lamborghini doors oh this is getting better get a look I swear look I was about to get a Honda Civic bro I was about to get a Honda Civic and put know say that was going to be my first car but I was like is definitely your uncle AB he's your uncle yeah on God he's your uncle definely got to be related y blood related sowh for sure cuz I was going to do that with the suicide the butterfly doors yeah bro that time that like I'm from I'm from partial South like Virginia is the South but you know what I'm saying so we don't just listen to well DC Maryland V like well DC and Maryland they mirror the South yeah period okay like we mirror everything South there like we went through East Coast phase with Biggie and and all that but we M the cash money was it tapic definitely the S cash money was it no you you you're CH everybody know your first purchase is the best one that we've had what [ __ ] that's you bought but I had the amps in the back too I had like I ain't going to lie I took out the whole back seat it's like it was like six 16 in of course you did knocking talking about knocking he's this full [ __ ] I was in Virginia thinking I was [ __ ] no you were though you though you pull up on that skating ring with that [ __ ] oh God it's lit it's lit first hit record what changes for you in your mind now I mean now it's not now it's not gu work now things are like this what I do now things are automatic now things are like it's more so what what I need I can get it it kind of was like you know when a kid when when I could just go to the movies with my homeboys or I can cuz I did everything as a as a regular kid you know what I'm saying even being in Harlem to being in Virginia like I did like regular [ __ ] so I was used to being around people and being in an environment soon as that song went crazy I couldn't go nowhere I couldn't go to the mall like if I walked outside of the neighborhood that I was in it would be people running Street like so it you still in Virginia no well in he took me out of Virginia soon as I soon as I Sho the deal like I think my record came on I was in 10th Grade when my song came out when I got my record deal so and I didn't leave school until after my song had already hit the radio so they like we got to pull him we got to we got to get him out of there so then from there I I went from Virginia to to Jersey so so I could be closer to uh New York but I couldn't even walk down the street there like I would we would literally have to drive in the garage every time we we we come home and shut the door so nobody know what's the what's the mindset of that for you as this 16 year old 15 16 year old kid like how does cuz that's the one thing it's it's bro and I know I know he can attest to this because we are all so close and we've we've all known each other for so long yeah we have so many conversations that come to us about you yeah right and my thing has always been I can't tell him I can only tell him so much because I haven't had that experience yeah yeah and and that's a very real thing that I think people have never truly taken into account that bro this has been your life yeah since 15 years old yeah like just tell me if you can remember that as being like a 15 year old like yo they pulling me out of school I can't go outside I can't go to the movies yeah you know what I'm not a kid no more because of my challenging spirit I like I like challenges you do it was amazing to me yeah because because I'll be real because guess what if if well now I'mma look at the bright side I ain't got to be in school I ain't got to

aggressive and you had something in your mind that you were aiming for you know what it was though even being on that tour like what I learned and I learned from b a lot yeah you know he's like one of the greatest showmen as far as like so the the lack of discipline that I had I had a great amount of training meaning like okay Tod Sams you know everybody they G they gonna get us right with the moves we GNA have fun and and I was able to be also uh creative too they they didn't just say we're going to do this they they let me come up with some things but the thing that I felt that I lacked was the experience one and and just the the the discipline that everybody else had you know we had it was B2K ba uh it was so many other artists these are all polished artists yeah so so when you would see their shows you would see the glitz and the glammer like me I had a DJ booth just a little DJ booth that I would slide from under with the dancers with the little smoke and then I had a graffiti background you know what I'm saying and and I they maybe maybe gave me like 12 minutes m i probably had like not even that it might have been eight minutes so I had to you know figure it out but it off yeah seeing these other performers it kind of like G grew my Hunger for for what I needed to be doing in order to in order to be the person headlining in order to be the person that I think I can be you know what I'm saying so a lot of them a lot of those guys and seeing their performance seeing their their quality and how long they're dancing and then they're just getting off and all the screams like it was really the scream tour like you go it was there no other there's no other experience that I can tell you at that time was like forget all the festivals and stuff that they got going on right now back then your ears would literally you would really go definit shout out to Michael Mal yeah I saw him uh during the Grammy week I had never met him before and I just told him I'm like listen man what you did just for I mean obviously what you've done in the business period but that scream tour Jesus with giving that type of Spotlight to Young Artists and putting them on that type of platform yeah I I don't know anyone that's done that I don't I don't I don't think it can be done right now as far as like with young artist I think that's something you can't even recreate like I was just happy to be a part of it like I was like that's a legendary thing it's tough to recreate with these phones man yeah that's the other part yeah yeah because because because like that stage was like still in that moment it still was a place where you still felt like this is the only place I'm going to get to see this yeah I'm only going to see this typ of [ __ ] here like it was still that it we hadn't gotten to the phone yet to where you could get used to sing that type of [ __ ] all the time it just runs all day that them scream tours [ __ ] it was really screams yeah facts like [ __ ] when you came on stage it was they was glued from from from from top to bottom and I was nervous cuz that's like you know we had performed before like I performed in different places I had to perform um what is it Planet Hollywood different different places but there a little venues when you I'm in an arena now and it's even though I go first the parents back then they trying to get kids into the building early so now if the show starts at let's say 900 some people might not leave their house till 8:30 we get there you know what I'm saying so but back then everybody's in there sitting there waiting so whoever the first artist is they either standing up or booing the [ __ ] out of you did you like speaking of boing did you ever experience a [ __ ] up show like early on like early on no no no I'mma Be Real like I've never got like a boo like a a bad boo I don't want to jinx myself but I but I've never got like he's not your [ __ ] you're not get boo but I've never I've never got boo hit records bro you're not getting boo don't worry about that almost almost got boo I just you say you almost got boo it started off with a sputter that's why my fault it was my fault s his playlist was wrong the song wasn't working yeah at radio so and he still wanted to sing it no which we working sing Single spent 700,000 on the video yeah I'm dancing I started singing this songs the girl in the front row looked at her friends said [ __ ] whack oh [ __ ] oh God oh God I still got two minutes left and it's a d tape so to that you can't you can't change it you got just got you got to live that [ __ ] out you start that's when you start thinking the most huh I start sweating that's when you get caught in mouth man now I [ __ ] up myself on stage like did a back flip slipped but but I play it off or like you know what I'm saying then stepped off a stage before and fell fell in the crowd that's yeah it's not it's not to say it's yeah he said they still feel bad for you cuz you just being great yeah they still scream oh my God is he okay oh my God is he okay I don't like so off the first off the first album you start to you start to see what this thing is like you start to see you know what Fame is like and and how do how you going to adjust did you ever have like the can I do it again cuz you know people talk about the sophomore the sophomore Jinx I had that in my in the back of my head probably every day you know what I'm saying so like for me it was because the first album was like a learning experience I wrote with with writers I didn't really write you know was really how they kind of shaped what what I what my ideas would be the second album it was like okay cool well you've been you've been right the song selections you picking the choices you know what you're doing so but I feel like it's like the challenge thing again I was like you know what I'm going try to prove him wrong I already so you fought for that yeah like I said I proved myself wrong with the with the first album so it's like now now I'm G prove them wrong I can do this [ __ ] so I was I had that sophomore Jinx in the back of my head what's the first first record from the second album the second album damn let me you going make me go you know I got a lot of damn albums manum it had to it had to oh no W to wall oh wall I think it was water to wall it was water wall it was absolutely water to wall it was water to wall absolutely water to wall then kiss kiss yeah I can only imagine you putting together your show set like what record is that for tour now bro it's it's crazy because I'm trying to because you know people are still in love with the older songs so it's like I'm I have no problem doing that but the only difference is when people come to my shows I want them to see something like Evolution like you know what I'm saying they're not seeing the last tour that they saw they're not seeing the one before that every tour is completely different and it gives them you know the same Nostalgia but also with this with the new music so it's so hard for us right now I even I even put on my Instagram and Twitter like look what songs y'all want me to perform you doing a poll they was like all of them [ __ ] I said we going to be there for three days I'm not you got you got to think of it like this though right I always equate it back to like Frankie Beverly and Mae yeah Frankie and Beverly and Mays did the same show in arenas man for 20 years yeah with all due respect they don't have a hundred no no no what I'm getting to what I'm getting to is the variations of those songs that may get ow to you don't get old to them don't get old to them yeah but at least how you how how how they will see it yeah they remember they're telling their friends watch when he do this he do this thing when he sing watch when they're waiting you got a point too that's that's the point but I always want to how I look I be like you know what I I want to always give them more it's not like cuz you can see Chris Brown on YouTube or you can go see it and be like all right boom and then they like man he fell off I never want to hear that [ __ ] and tell I'm ready to be like look I'm tired I don't want this but I think because you putting out new material I'm not not going to be tired but that was just hypothetic you have like 8,000 songs in the VA what's the longest show you've done [ __ ] the last one we just did uh we just came from tours overseas you came to it like 2 15 minutes hold on let's 2 hours [ __ ] that's hold let's go let's go there that's a [ __ ] movie that's a that's god let's go overseas [ __ ] I was like babe we're going overseas to Chris Brown what the [ __ ] are you talking about we're going to par yeah pack your [ __ ] we going to see Chris Brown I done told you now don't make me tell you again that [ __ ] try to act like he have enough room in his bag to bring me back a hoodie or nothing though he don't like to travel like that first of all you should have came okay merch show goddamn merch merch here now merch here now the merch here we we we're in Paris and we pull up to the venue I'm hitting an a we here he's like all right come to the back and as we're at the venue it's quiet outside of the venue the show starts in like maybe like an hour mhm it's quiet there's no traffic there's there's there's nothing and I'm like this is weird this Chris Brown this this it's supposed to be crack out you think it's supposed to be it's supposed to be off the chain outside [ __ ] supposed to be bootlegging [ __ ] all sorts of [ __ ] right yeah we walk into that building it's 20,000 people already in their [ __ ] hour before the show probably two hours they are in their seats like this ready we're waiting on D Bown is coming out soon just just waiting on Chris Brown it's going to be so good and and you know we so used to seeing shows you know in the States and how people react in the States but I wanted to go to Paris because I wanted to see people with a different mindset I wanted to see people completely free of what this the state stigma is on how people you got you got to be cool how people supposed to act how the dudes is like man I [ __ ] with the [ __ ] he cool yeah you know saying I rock with it was none of thatone I'm watching grown men go AP [ __ ] lose themselves in the music when these songs come on I got a videotape of the entire Arena jumping up and down I'm like Jesus Christ and we had talked about it before before you got the overseas tour and I said bro I said little bro the world is getting ready to open up to you in such a way that I don't even think you you you even understand it and you was like you was like bro I hear you but I I'm I'm I'm not going to believe it until I see it yeah facts I remember I told you that yeah and we and we were sitting in in in your dressing room backstage and I said do you see this I see it and I watched you for two nights in a row I don't know how the [ __ ] you did it for two and a half hours dance and sing non-stop cuz I haven't been over there in a minute too so by me having a tour out there I was like damn this is I haven't toured over there in 12 years in certain places 12 like like London certain places it was it had been 12 years so I'm like damn so that they got a whole chunk of history that they ain't even seen so I'm I can't be lazy and go on stage and do 60 Minutes 90 minutes and just like all right cool we just giving y the new [ __ ] and getting out of there 60 90 minutes is the that's the Regular Show and he's like I can't be lazy I can't be lazy because of the chunk of like the chunk of History Miss yeah so CU cuz cuz think about it it's it's people that's my age bringing their kids to the show you get what I'm saying so they like now this is the person I like so I it's almost like teaching a class again like okay cool the kid might not know this song but they mama know the song and they going crazy you know so but in in that in that space it's like it's like a different appreciation remember I was like it's like not to discredit you know the us but at the end of the day when you go over there it's like it's different you're really appreciated for the music they see you all the time either just like you said they they miss you they miss you but R&B is still a thing listen and I got I got to say it like we we're not we're not slighting the us but the US is spoiled they they they see us walking down the street they see us in see us in Miami moving around they they see us and so overseas like even just in just even outside of the presence their their thirst and desire for real music is just it's just different it's still old school over there it's it's it's know the words CS SS and they don't speak engl they don't speak English that's got to be crazy that's that's that's Phenom I never I could never understand that it still makes me I think I get more excited when I when I I see that cuz I'm like you know what that that type of energy they don't know what the [ __ ] I'm saying they or they might now but it's for them to like something that that bad and you know what I'm saying that take dedication like yeah but you know the states give me my love too cuz I can't I can't lie [ __ ] the media aspect we talk about like talk about when I when I we yeah them asses in them seats you know what I'm saying 100% And so and they real fans like my fan base I can say you know you got Nicki's fan base Beyonce's fan base team Bree [ __ ] yeah but the fan I feel like everybody's Dam near family they got they always you know I always a comment I get on somebody ass if they go crazy in the comments but they I always listen and and kind of like let them dictate certain aspects of okay y'all want to hear this y'all like this like I like to be engaged with them so they so they know that this [ __ ] ain't just like oh all right shut up and listen and then I'mma make y'all follow me this way yeah you know what I'm saying I feel like as a family and the people that support me they I love this person you know it be people's mom was kids younger they' be like you know what I love that boy like so and I can I can feel that energy so when I get into an arena you know the the fans is the really ones that keep me here bro you changed the meet and greet oh yeah you got some FL behind that too like [ __ ] you literally changed the meet and greet I I'm G to I want to say this okay all right they got on his ass let him do like I'm doing okay I might have to do something yeah you got you got a at least I might have to do something you know what I'm saying but the Chris Brown meet and greet is out of control you might need to bench press something respectful that [ __ ] fun like I bet it it's fun because look you where else in the time like everybody usually like you get your pictures back in the day artist the artist like you know like don't touch me like and I don't do I'm not doing like 150 people a night like you know what I'm saying so it might it might be a small intimate group of people that actually spent that money that they might not even had to come and meet me so I'm not going to make moment you know I don't want to make moment just some hey what's up let me sign this get the [ __ ] out like that's weak to me because I feel like these are the same people no matter how biger that group or smaller that group I feel like they're the same people that's are part of the the family aspect so so and some of these girls is man that's they bucket list some of them they like look all I want to do is just be able to be on him cool long as you ain't got Co we good so I should I should tell I should tell my wife she should loosen up and let me yeah and let me really greet the yeah but you can't do no [ __ ] pictures with your shirt off cuz then you can't you can't you can't gauge SK it can't be you don't know what might lick your stomach or something you going to be like hold on hold on hey you stop that you get off me now but you're also in my opinion bro like I've met a lot of people I've friends with a lot of people we've been in this industry a long time and I really believe that you are the most how how can I say it you're the you're you're the nther cares bro cook remain humble man you absolutely care but the most accessible yeah Superstar I've ever seen literally bro yeah like I feel like I feel like jail probably humbled me on that one there's that yeah there's that but being able to like go through [ __ ] and not have to be you know walk a thin line cuz a lot of artists have to walk a thin line unless you're independent if you're like the mainstream you can't do this you can't be associated with somebody you can't do a song because of how it looks once that [ __ ] like once I was able to still do music and they was and I got to be my regular [ __ ] like I got to be myself right man [ __ ] all this extra [ __ ] I can look if somebody come up to me what's up you like my music all right what's I appreciate it cool can I get a picture if I'm in a go sorry not right now but I appreciate you boom if I'm not it's a miss a million pictures whether I'm drunk whatever it is I'm going to take a picture with somebody like because I've been a I've been humbled through whatever my experiences are like so I don't went through [ __ ] I didn't went through you know normal [ __ ] [ __ ] so it's like you know what let me uh let me not take this [ __ ] for granted and be appreciative of every every single second every single time I get get a chance to like do anything or be around somebody this is a flowers pod right and so this is for you your flowers um take a second to to to speak on team Breezy and and staying down with you through thick and thin how what is that feeling like to you it's the it's the impostor Syndrome again like you know because it's it's it's unbelievable like sometimes I wake up I'm like damn people go buy like whether I'm promoting I don't care if it's some shoes I'm promoting or there's a there's a following of people a big following of people who who support me you know what I'm saying so that also makes me uh like cherish where I'm at bro team Breezy like even to have have a name for for people that that follow you is is is kind of crazy you know what I'm saying so I feel like I'm appreciative like my fans know how much and I try to let them in on stuff I talk to them like I remember cuz some my dates for the tours W come I say look y'all get on my damn nerves if y'all ain't got the damn you sit in on the goddamn shut the [ __ ] up and go to the next city so so so like but but I'm able to I I I wouldn't even be in this chair right now like but y'all my brother so I probably would be but any success or anything that that's further these songs that I'm putting out like that ain't that ain't us paying somebody off and trying to like please like you know what I'm saying that's that's really the fans you know what I'm saying and they and they kept me here [ __ ] 20 almost 20 years now so it's like for me to have that connection with them is probably the biggest thing ever yeah you know so I'm so I'm May that's why I'm always thirsty and still doing music why you still doing this why [ __ ] cuz y'all like that's the reason Real Talk shout out to team Breezy shout out to team yeah yeah they show us all up I I talk to team Breezy often I talk to team Breezy often you know as as a as as a as a team Breezer you know what I'm saying [ __ ] with you shout out um what's your favorite album uh out of mine of yours yeah damn it's you know what it is I I can I have two you can all right cool I got 11 of them [ __ ] out uh my two would be my first one because of the experience that what we talked about earlier like how it felt yeah everything was was was amazing so I think the first one and then my Fame album in Fame yeah CU I got the the Grammy album the Grammy album the Grammy album and the reason why I say that is because of the [ __ ] I had to go through around that time and and still make music and people still listening to me despite maybe not [ __ ] with me for real or not liking me or you know what I'm saying the first cancel [ __ ] yeah yeah so you know so those two albums kind of like were milestones in my career like the first one was showing me that I'm I'm able to do it and then that album like okay you can do it yeah I can do it again I'm going to go that the first album first album is is a classic that exclusive is special to me what's your favorite Chris song indigo is yeah what's your favorite Chris song tank I know mine off the top of my head it changes he just played he just played me some sh I I still got my favorite though you don't have your favorite it changes every time he plays me something mine is no [ __ ] he just to this day yeah to this day the [ __ ] played it for me a record plant and I said [ __ ] the record put out tomorrow the record the record that the record that haunts me like like a record that when I hear it it it takes me to where I was like it takes me back to Paris yeah and watch you on stage is indigo yeah there something about the feeling it's something about the conversation Indigo it's something about indigo bro that is so special to me I don't know what it is it's The Melodies it's the it's the production it's the word it's like [Music] I'm like it's it's special to me super special um um and Heat and the reason heat just got so embedded was because everybody thinks I'm singing on it oh yeah the background everybody thinks I'm singing on heat and I never said I wasn't singing on heat you know what I'm saying I don't think he knows what songs he's on of yours are not since Chris is in that [ __ ] like J I think I'm singing backgrounds S no I was listen to Sensational the other day and I was like I was like why does he sound like me on the end of this song why does his ad lips I said [ __ ] I did the ad lips okay got it got it cuz Chris will be like hey n get in the Poo just sing something to this [ __ ] like yeah I like cuz I just need his his voice and backgrounds and he knows where to put the pockets at especially with so I'd be like it it have been what damn near eight to nine songs already on different and just sing back back I'm back he never remembers though we' be doing so much of it and I for me it's just like in your space I just try to make myself available for whatever it is you need you know what I'm saying whether it be whether it be music or conversation yeah um another question I wanted to ask you is probably a deeper question in in now in your stages of being a father we we have so many loves right um and love changes in terms of what it means as we grow what does love mean to you now that's a deep question what does love mean to me uh love is scary to me but at the same time like it's too it's I'm I'm full of it you know what I'm saying I'm full of love like so I feel like my my kids kind of like made me appreciate what that word mean what the word meant like to love something outside of yourself outside of anything that's like well that's great segue are they are are they making you more free to love more open to love yes and no they they're they're making me more open to loving them like I'm just very hocus yeah I'm I'm pouring all my love into them but you're also very protective yeah 100% right so it makes you yeah not let more people in all yeah but at the same time like it's making me me learn patience and making me learn just life skills that I that I I might might have been too too antsy for for too busy for so I think love for me now is like it's expanding it's like me you you saying you have to have a favorite color right no I really don't I I can I actually find beauty in all every all of the colors so my my uh my thought process on love isn't as controlled as I thought it should be it should be like this it should be like no like love is is an abundance to me so I feel like it's like all right cool I don't got yeah I I could I could do this I I let it a little bit out yeah I I can smile a lot more yeah yeah no it bro look look that's that's what you're for what you've been through and what you've accomplished yeah you should smile more yeah you know what I mean you should continue to have a good time because this this isn't given to everyone yeah you know what I mean especially your life and what you know and but the thing that that would make me angry when it came to you was that people didn't realize this was your life yeah you know what I mean everybody had an opinion or has an opinion of how you should live your life and for me as your brother I've never had an opinion about how you should live your life and you know we've had many of talks in many of cities and many long nights and I've never said you should do no you should do what you want to do and live how you want to live and experience the things you want to because it's what makes you who you are yeah you know what I mean and and you've been able to like you said the average mother [ __ ] can't go sit down and go and be in a holding tank and go to jail yeah that's your experience yeah so whatever that put you there you were able to man up accept that even though you did lose me a championship in the NBA e League cuz we was undefeated and then you went you had to go do two months or six months whatever the hell you had to go yeah my bad I was like and then by the time I got out I was not about to play no basketball and the season was over [ __ ] I came out that [ __ ] like simbad we got to see you and you was like [ __ ] this be gone in two weeks you had to half a FR in the stomach you said it's going to be gone he said it's going to be gone in two weeks two weeks and in two weeks I okay he's back yeah I was cuz they caught me in them pictures I think we went to like man I went to I went to south of franch something bro they took the pictures and I just seen that that jelly roll I said what hell no and then from there just dancing dancing dancing I was even big on when I got out of jail for the uh for the BT when I had to when I when we came I did loyal and I had the uh this is when everybody was wearing the for real hats M yeah like you know the Smokey the bear hat yeah SMY St but I I remember having this outfit I had to put the outfit on and it was like too small the pants wouldn't fit like I was I'm like a 34 or 36 and I was like a 40 you would not no 34 36 yeah for sure I was like a 40 or something 40 a 40 talking about big boy big I said hold on you know what I can't do this no more but I was I was I had to go through a lot of uh boot camp dancing and everything else to get back but [ __ ] shook back though yeah cuz you was all right it was terrible I'm telling you that was my most depressing time of my life bro I like this ain't Chris Brown man he was [ __ ] brown They clone Chris Brown they clone Chris Brown god what the [ __ ] when did you in this and and when did you when did you really get into the business of like start owning the business of all of that because that's what people really don't know about you I think it's how you me Burg business I did that first and I and I would be like I was 17 when I started trying to invest in certain things just cuz I knew like you know unless you torn unless you like you don't know how how long you going to be successful and it's not like every artist can make it look like they getting money getting money getting money if you're not a touring act if you're not doing stuff you're not going to you need an exit strategy so I I would have like you know the business people around me at the time can't say they were good at the time but you know my investments were like into Burger Kings and stuff like that just so I could have a portfolio of of and and you know constant income you know so that was my first step but when I really started getting into like the the music side like the executive side it was like I was 25 and what happened was uh loyal and all these other records had already been been blowing up so and I was out of my almost out of my contract so I was able to negotiate I was like well cool well now that I have leverage as an actual artist I don't want to be an artist I want to be 50/50 profit Shar with you guys I want to have the same deal Birman got with universal like you know you know I ask around trying to figure it out so I don't have to be getting you know sens on the dollar just living off of advances you get what I'm saying so from there that was my first step boom and then I think they were like oh and then they kind of they kind of like you know what [ __ ] it we'll do it I'm like [ __ ] Dam I'm like the youngest [ __ ] with this with this deal right here I don't think nobody know you know so that was my first step then after that was me trying to own my masters so I think when I was like 27 or 28 like by by that time it was renegotiation time and I was like hey cool I'm still want this but let me get my masters from here from from I think from my Fame album and up I said let me get the masters from there and then I'm able to come back and negotiate you know in 6 years for for the first album and all of my [ __ ] so being able to have that type of structur deal like shout out to Mark pittz again you know what I'm saying uh Peter Edge everybody that was you know everybody that really kind of like looked and said you know we'll give him this deal and and and Barry Weiss Barry Weiss like he put the [ __ ] down like he really he he the one that kind of allowed me to be like you know what here [ __ ] it kid take it yeah you got it I mean you have made him so much money but but let's let's also speak on that let's not let's not just Breeze over that yeah the fact that you understood though I got to prove myself first because now we have these we have these new artists who come into the game thinking they can own the Masters like why would I let you have the Masters or why why would you deserve your Masters in the beginning if someone is actually making the initial investment and they no money and they're not worth so somebody walking into the door saying why I own my masters okay what are you going to do with it you know how to license it is there any distribution for it and is it worth anything yeah in the beginning right so you were able to say Hey listen now I want from Fame ongoing and now I'll put myself in position because I'll continue to be successful yeah to come back again renegotiate yeah and get those initial albums as well yeah that's just smart business yeah and betting on yourself and betting on yourself but I think people want to skip the steps and say oh well this label this like listen labels are going to be what they are label going to yeah they definit Banks and that's what they do but they also have infrastructure to put you in a place that's unimaginable life yeah absolutely I don't disagree with that at all you know what I mean and so I I think you should be for lack of a better term a poster boy of like listen just be successful just be great you be great you get everything you're supposed to out of this [ __ ] yeah and get the right lawyers make sure your lawyers is looking over your contract have great lawyer yeah so you got to make sure everybody you know when I was young I was I was fortunate enough to to be saved on certain things but I was my deals weren't always great so once I was able to be able to be more independent like look I got a little bit more leverage now and then you know they made all this money and all that so I'm more like you know I'm able to now now see real money or see something from what I've created cuz I know I created it so now you know I can go and do this now I can create some more wait till y'all see what I'm about to create so now I get to own all of that you know and and it's like a like you said I'm like a testament to that to hey not saying put your head down just be the best you yeah right I feel like the way I go to the gym is the way you go to the studio yeah it's like that's why I said your me GRE you should bench press it's like the the it should is there a way no no way limit though we going to have a [ __ ] some some I get a good 315 350 off me now just say but even in my my meet and GRE pitches like it's some some joints and and like some night I be like you know what come on yeah cuz you know I'm than you chis but yeah it should be like we can't do certain things let's try something else I ain't got the same back I used to I was young your picture go got shelter next night going look crazy listen I'm already waiting for what these pictures going to look like this [ __ ] is going to be insane oh [ __ ] here's last question bro how do you do like 8,000 songs in one night bro like you do 15 seconds each one how is that even possible that you I come to your house and there are I just left your house two days ago and I come back and there are 20 new songs how I just like a lot of the times you know how I used to be in the studio back in the day even I like yo come to the studio like I just I think what did you call you master something that you spend more than 100 hours on or something like that so I think I just try to overly overly overly overly Master it so me being in the studio like I might have an idea in my head or I might just hear some song like man I need to get on my game I need to still it's like shooting jump shots like you know you got to make sure if you don't if you don't sharp the tool it ain't going to work so I feel like me being in the studio is where kind of live I got two Studio you see in the house I got two studios in the house so so I can change scenery or change like you know mental States when I'm in in different Studios yeah I ain't been seen I like you're making the amount of songs that The Underdogs all of us in different rooms used to make it was it was six of us and he's still making more than it's just one of you 20 a night we weren't writing 20 songs a night you gotta you got you know how many songs you have I I said before like 15 thousand but then I but then I think I miscalculated you know so it's you on some W chamberling [ __ ] yeah that was that was I think I was thinking of it come I'm like okay I got this 15000 a lot of [ __ ] so I'm going to be realistic and and it's it's in the 8000 to 9,000 though it's a lot of like like finished or just at least pieces it could be pieces I I can say pieces it won't it won't be it might be first verse CH you know how I used to send demos out it be first verse of chor and then no second so it'll be stuff like that so it's like yeah collectively is that a lot of that's insane bro what you got for him [Music] Champion

talking voice is not my talking voice is raspy like I gotta I got but you're clear on records yeah so I feel I don't know I've just always I guess you we sing from different parts when we when I talk I don't think I I'm talking from the same diaphragm is when I'm singing sing so so I'm I'm pushing the air differently yeah so I feel like that's why I'm able to still sound young and still or sound like the old me but not the super young me not the 15 but at least I my voice hasn't like changed dramatically it's like [ __ ] you and Ralph tresan yeah facts just say [ __ ] I do not sound like

got to think of two more now this [ __ ] all is subject to change now um Su is it Superstar Usher user yeah Superstar [ __ ] right and and Candy Rain s for yeah yeah yeah so yeah shout out to so for real got you know I'm I like what you're doing here man we need so for real on the podcast but it's so difficult for me to come up with those five songs cuz I had like 10 other songs in my like a combo of so many artists like d 4,000 8,000 yeah and I didn't want to add my songs in it I wanted to get everybody allow to do that do you have a favorite Chris Brown song [ __ ] no I have erors I have I have I have times of when when I like songs hey man this [ __ ] just pouring champagne go you got some champagne to pour told I got erors nigg breaking his own record I think errors is like certain songs that I what I was going through at certain times so I be like damn like like how you like no [ __ ] for example that era of no [ __ ] and and Deuces yeah those songs when we did those s that was like when I was at my lowest like I was like with the back back against the wall like no no support from the label no support from radio no they was like you know what we ain't [ __ ] with you mixtap you're cancelled yeah so these songs were mixtape songs that out 10 months before we put them on on that album you know what I'm saying so and I'm I'm shot the video for like 2500 each video the Deuces video and no [ __ ] but it was it was like being an independent artist and grinding your [ __ ] self being like you know what I'mma prove them wrong so I could say those songs would be be an error and then then it could be the next songs that I'm doing so it it it switches all the time yeah you know I feel like I I can always go back to different songs and then relive those moments in my head and be like damn that happened and also remind myself like damn I do remember that you know yeah so all right Breezy let's build your Voltron you're super R&B artist yeah we want to know who you're going to get the vocal from the performance style The Styling from the heart of the artist The Passion of the artist and since you know since you're a songwriter who's gonna write for that artist let's start with the vocal who you getting the vocal from for your super R&B artist the vocal damn I'mma go with Tevin Campbell I'm just for as far as the as far as the vocal yeah like the range or what you yeah I'm going with TGA voice was his voice was different his voice was just cold it wasn't supposed to be like that no so I'm going to go I'm going to go voicewise yeah yeah between him and Mike cuz Mike just you got to pick one you got or you can mix it what you what you doing yes it's gonna be like a hybrid it's gonna be Mike and teev T Jackson Jackson okay uh performance style on stage Michael Jackson 100% I could have guessed that one yeah you should have yeah that was easy yeah okay styling who gonna put this [ __ ] on it's goingon to be a hybrid another hybrid okay it's going to be like a trifecta hybrid Michael me and and Usher H as far as styling cuz [ __ ] and I got to say user in this in this category because like in through his erors from the my ways to the you know everything he done done has has been visually like stamped in your head to where iconic it's iconic you know what I'm saying like he he made [ __ ] wear Kies [ __ ] like you remember like so it's like certain things will always be embedded in style and fragments to me so it's like Michael was the the definition of that like he could wear wrestling looking bels he coined it he coined the thing yeah like being his own icon uh I think we talk about styling not even to stop you here but I think you're the first person the first artist that I've ever walked into the room to the dressing room and they were like the racks there were racks on racks on racks of clothes and you had no idea what you were going to put on like you don't you don't have a uniform where you're like okay this is the tour fit and these are the combinations of the tour fit and the dancers will wear this I was like what are you going to wear he's like I don't know I'm about to look through it right now like he getting dressed from school like he getting no like he getting dressed in nean Marcus let me just grab some [ __ ] and put I've never seen anything like that in my life life so what I've done the last couple tours and this tour is going to be a little different so we have a set to to where cuz I don't want to give too much I want y'all to come and see it but I'm going to have changes in the outfits but the outfits are going to be more customized like a lot of like designers are making specific stuff for me so it'll be more so it goes along with the with the actual show of what I'm trying to show like The Broadway style of what I'm trying to show but before like the the last tour you were at and the different ones the stage that I built is is you can change your outfit every night you could be something different because the stage doesn't it doesn't have certain yeah it has a freedom about it so we just have a rack of clothes and long as long as I can dance in them and and it's not not too tight or the shirt should like you know I'm putting on something different every night I always thinking behind the scenes I'll be thinking about the [ __ ] that has to put take all that out and then put off and he be trying to figure out a way to steal some [ __ ] too yeah of course like can I have this I'm like go ahead bro I'm good fits me let me yeah n always comes back with something and shot a video in his Co you did shoot a video cuz this [ __ ] not afraid to act cuz look that's you like look little bro you already wore that [ __ ] you a wear that no more go get you can take you can take it I'm like go ahead shot a whole video that jacket like [ __ ] [ __ ] The Passion of the artist Passion of the artist Prince I would say prince Go pass like cuz he can play every [ __ ] instrument right and mean it mean it and then you better come get this hit you better come get this hit who who says that like I would have been like [ __ ] that I'm keeping this record you don't want this record no he he he he know he his [ __ ] is the [ __ ] he threaten that [ __ ] he threaten that [ __ ] with a smash smash threaten with a you should start doing that cuz you got a ganger hit record you start telling [ __ ] that better come get get this get this song My [ __ ] who's going to write for that artist damn there's so many damn good writers who's going to write I was I couldn't say Phil Collins because it wouldn't be cool cuz Phil college is one of my like he's one of the dope writers I [ __ ] all time um why can't Phil clein write the records he can't yeah I think Phil could do it but I would say Quincy Jones I mean I there's no argument with Quincy Jones I would just say I'm going throw you curveball though yeah who's going to do the choreography ooh D come on man you a stepper you a real deal stepper you know what it would have to be it would be have to be a collective cuz in that dancing [ __ ] it's so many come on come come on so many people who made you know I'm talking about fly fly Styles Sams Jos Smith uh we got lav uh is it lav Franklin who he taught me uh Thriller is his name is lav okay but he he when was getting ready for the yeah World music War when I was young sorry I'm forgetting his his last name but um you got super Dave you got man I'm trying to think of everybody out learn I did this on purpose you try you trying to get me I got but not even but noty but not even trying to get you this is what our podcast is about our podcast is about on Jamaica I'm thinking too I'm still it's about cele it's about celebrating people that aren't always celebrated publicly absolutely absolutely who mean so much to what we do yeah and has have meant so much to what you do because they they shaped come that [ __ ] yeah 100% so I mean there so many different people that that I'm leaving out to so I know they like man he didn't say my name yeah my bad yeah he loves you he loves you you know I love you but at the same time it would be with that dance and [ __ ] it it would have to be a collective group it still make it's a village that make it you know take a village to to choreograph something crazy yeah so [Music] yeah yeah we we come to the point I ain't saying no names hey I ain't saying no names I ain't saying no names I ain't saying no name who what you did don't say [ __ ] I ain't say no no names all right cool hold on hold on
