34:18You know what I'm saying? Not so much comparing it to the way that Lord is used in the Bible, but the name Lord, the way that people use Lord, it's a way to describe someone with strong presence, right? Someone who's a governing of their own space, right? So it's just affirmation. When people say his name, when he say his name, he walking with that power. You know, my mom's had a dream.

37:06R &B. Yeah. What y 'all feel like R &B. R &B. of what we missing in R &B is R &B. You know the best answer? What we missing in R &B is R &B. There's a difference. I always saw people ask me, there's a difference. 90s R &B was like that. It's the Bible. It's really the Bible. 90s R &B is really the Bible. I wouldn't say that. What I would say is a couple of chapters. As far as R &B that we call Rhythm and Blue. Bro, let me thing, sonny. But then you're going to go back. Hold up. Hold up. Somebody that sing need to listen to them niggas. The four times the temptation. Bro, bro, bro, no. Of course.

37:54Of course. 1 ,000%. I got sunshine. The music was singing. Of course. So it's very hard. You think one of them songs right now don't work? No that's It's two different types of R &B That's like R &B so But 90s 90s is Niggas what for me is like That feeling 90s R &B where it's like nigga It's fly it make you wanna You know go on a day it make you wanna put some shit on Take a shorty out Call a shorty up that you That you been thinking about but you been working hard That's missing What I'm saying to you is hard it's hard to just say because I've heard such great music my whole life R &B music I get what you're saying it's like but now I think the last record that really did that for me was all folded by Kalani the reason why that record was so successful is because it sounded like 90s it was successful because of my remix LMA man LMA's great too but that folded that folded It's crazy.

39:04With a pillow and your thing, all of that. I know, I like the K-100 and all that. I love her out. It's some good music out there. But that's good. But what you saying is out there too, you got Gibby on doing that type of music, like the soulful. It's all different vibes. It's all good. It's too soulful. I'm just trying to tell you, the last song I heard that made me think of Brandy, think of Monica, made me think of this, was that Fold. Yeah. You did the remix, Neo did the remix. Tony Braxton. Y 'all knew that was the third round. You heard that shit and was like, oh no, I need to get in on this shit.

39:40This shit different. Like this, our era. You know, and it's just proof that you can make quality music that sounds like 90s R &B and it could go number one if you take the time out to do it. Now, all this, you know... I do it all, bro. I can do so for R &B. Why you fuck me, nigga? Fuck your mother. Fuck your father. Fuck your... Like, you like, yo, what happened to R &B, bro. It's a place for everything. At the end of the day, we can't... No, listen, but at the end of the day, it's right now, the media is so vast. It's so quick. You go right here and just play whatever you want. But when it comes to R &B, the shit that we talking about, it's very few and far in between, bro.

And I don't want to say it because she just started. So her career to... I got a few that I'm looking at right now, like, you know what I'm saying, that I'm talking to. You want to sign? Yeah, just like, yeah, talent. You know, just to pass down this knowledge, bro. Pass down these experiences. There's certain things we know just from being artists and living and being in it.

James Brown put his foot in Pavarotti's ass. He went out there to Rome or some shit and they sung in like the Vatican. Some crazy Roman shit.

55:21Which song was they going off on? Pavarotti was singing Papa's got a brand new band. Let me tell you, Pavarotti was singing some Italian shit because he sings in Italy and that man said, that shit was body on Broadway. that nigga Chase Brown went over there he different and battled Pavarazzi Luther battled him somebody else battled him like there's literally videos if you see them they on stage like a versus you do one I do one not that nigga Chase Brown but a better voice than Luther is uh no not better voice I'm talking about live wise like their voice is completely different but live like when you say Luther how he would play with the the volume and just like go James was just...

56:08You know James Brown. In his version of singing, he did the Jadakiss. New York, I'm outside. That nigga went over there, James Brown, to Italy and was like, Pavarotti, you know, his voice is like legend. So he's out there. He's the king of Italy and the music just starts. James Brown goes, you can't compete with that soul, bro. The soul. It's just hit different. You can't compete with the soul. You know when he passed away, Michael Jackson was done with America. He wasn't fucking with America. That's after the trial and all that. And so they reached out to him and was like, yo, you know James Brown was his idol.

56:48And so they reached out to Michael Jackson and he said, you know, I'm not fucking with America no more. Reverend Al Sharpton told me this story. He was James Brown's godson. So he said Michael Jackson was like, nah, I ain't fucking with America. I love Mr. Brown, this and that, but I can't. do it. And then the next day, they called Reverend out like four in the morning. It was like, Mr. Jackson is here in the funeral. They let him in without even asking. He went straight to you. No, no, he went in. No, no. He was at the funeral where they, the morgue. So he went up in there and they said he started combing Mr.

57:30Brown's hair to the right because he knew Mr. Brown only wears hair. He said, yo, he don't wear his hair like this. made the part. He made it, I rocked his shit to the right. I really rocked it. And then he walked in, we seen that on TV when he walked in. I think they had it in Atlanta or something. And Michael Jackson walked in, funeral. Prime example though, what you're saying right now just got me thinking. It's so important that if you great, for you to show your greatness and for there to be as much support around that as possible because all of our greats, the ones that we grew up with, our parents made us listen to all of that.

58:07They're either gone or leaving us. Like we're never getting, the music is here, but we're never getting that presence again. So it's like, it's our duty to like, I'm happy to salute them, but I'm happy that you're excited about new talent. It's our duty to find those talents and be like, look, we need y 'all to be as authentic as possible. Because we know what greatness is, right? And so, and dropping new music, it's like, I'm thinking about all of that. I got songs that I feel like is here that's just awesome. A whole different like, and it's like, damn, is this what the world wants? Is this going to work right?

58:42But it's great. But then I got other songs that's like, okay, somebody else could cut this, but it's still going to work for the radio. You know, so, those are the things that I consider when I think about greatness and dropping music and who I am in R &B. You know what I'm saying? So, next time I come up here, I'm going to have some, you know. This guy never dropped the whack verse. You know how hard that is? How many years you been rapping? Oh, God, bro. I've dropped Wack Versus. They paid me, you know, $300 ,000 to rap on some bitch's song from house music somewhere, and I just said, Eenie, meenie, miney, moe, catch it, I'm out of there.

59:21I'm gone. So I've done it. Is that because you cut, do you cut less records and you cut records when you, you just make music? That's the answer to a lot of people what's going on. I can't. If I gave more, I'd give less. So I don't just waste. That's real shit. From an artist standpoint, that's real shit. That's why I had a lot of shit with Puff. I didn't want to write for him because I felt it was taken from my stash. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no, it definitely was taken from your stash. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it was taken from the stash, all right. wasn't the worst stash. It was the real stash.

He was a part of the era that tried to find out and break the code. Man, we broke the code. I would say, like, getting signed at a young age is, to me, better than getting signed. Yeah, so you can go through it. I would say, yo, get the harsh shit out the way. Yeah, you get the bullshit out the way. You can fix your shit and get on with your career and still be in your prime.
