First of all, shout out to Brandy, Monica, Kelly, Coco Jones, who's on that tour, Money Bone. You know, all the ladies are just so incredibly talented and they've been in this gang for like 30 years. And before that, because they were putting in the work prior to them hitting so just first of all to be present to give flowers to be a part of that era is wonderful and then also to see an arena tour sell out verbatim every word every ad kelly roland was looking brand new too nor is it productions bobby first of all everybody sounded good looked amazing represented for our generation and then the real music aspect.

29:18Oh my goodness. We wanted that back. I was so happy just to witness. And then of course to be a part, I would happily just host it and brought out the ladies. You know what I'm saying? It was a last minute situation. I showed up. I will share a story, you know, the day of that I was called. It's kind of funny. But I went down to Florida to one of my dad's spots just to kind of like decompress, start detoxing and working out to try to take care of myself. because I had been grinding and hustling and doing my own type of thing on the road. And I was ready to and get all my stuff uploaded into the system for this album, whatever.

29:58I got to call it like. One thirty. And I had my alarm set for like maybe two o 'clock, 30 minutes later, I was supposed to take a bottle of some natural stuff that's supposed to have you stationary. for 24 hours to detox your body. Not the sugar-free red bull. Not a Diet Pepsi. And literally, I was going to be pretty much assed out. And I got - Oh, assed out. Like you was about to let that shit fly. Yeah, right? That's not terminology. Go ahead. So, so, you know, my manager and the agent called me like, hey, can you get on a flight tonight to get to Chicago? I'm like, do what? Oh, the Boy Is My Tour.

30:42And you know, I kind of wanted to be on it when it first started because I'm kind of from that era. I came a little later, three years later. So, I'm like, where is it? Chicago. What time is my set time? Okay. I've done the venue before. I'm familiar with Wintrust Arena. I think that's what it was. And I said, look, I got to look up flights to see if any flights even leave out of this part of Florida. There was one flight on Southwest. airlines. You got one, yeah. Right. 3.35 p.m. I think it landed around 6.30, something like that. I'm like, what do I even have to wear? So I had done a birthday party.

31:2421 had a birthday party in Atlanta. That's actually where I came from. I said, I have one outfit. That's it. And I got to wear that outfit again. So I hope no pictures come out, nothing like to make it happen. If I can make it to the airport on time. Hopped on a plane, edited my set while I was in the airport in Pro Tools. Sent it to them. Yeah, you lost. Hopped on the plane. They said, oh, we have a hotel room for you. You know, right across the street. I said, nah, just give me an office because I know how this thing goes. I got to do my own hair. Got to do my own makeup. Got to sew the in-ear monitor packs, my skirt.

32:00You're my idea. They don't do that shit in my house. They got the hair. No sound check. Let me hear this. It's crazy. No sound check. I don't know what the stage looks like, really. There's luckily a runway where, first of all, the stage is dead silent because there's no floor monitors. I don't have a sound check to check the ears. Nothing is working in my ears. I cannot hear music. I can't hear myself. And when you can't hear yourself as a singer, you're singing in the wrong key. You can't even hear the beat, right? So I just make my way to the runway, the tip of the runway, to even get what the front of house or the audience is hearing.

32:39There's not even, the audience ain't even in there. So that's not even true to what's going to happen. Experience, but I'm like, just smile, just dance, just sing. And you want to be here because you're supposed to be here right now. It's about them, but get through it. But I'm like, this is a nightmare. If your ears go out on that tour, oh my goodness, and you're a vocalist, it's the most scary thing ever. but I got through it and they were like oh we'll see you in Kansas City tomorrow I'm like no you won't no you will not so I told my manager and agent I said I can't do this tomorrow the way I did it tonight I gotta have floor monitors because if the ears go out then I'm probably gonna sound horrible you know social media is unforgiving let me tell you something all you had to do was walk that runway oh my gosh oh my gosh and that's exactly that's exactly Yes!

33:32You did? That's what I did. Come on, my sickest house. Sickest house. I just prayed that nothing horrible vocally would come out because that's the situation. And Lord, I did the next day because I got the floor monitors in. Now you're a hustler, Maya. I see you everywhere. I see you working hard. You know, not every artist is a hardworking artist like that. And I've seen you grind. There's no disrespect. there's a blind guy tell you Andrea Bocelli if I go to Afghanistan to perform the sign says Andrea Bocelli next week I've never seen a man work harder like that I know how I work so wherever I go it's like Andrea Bocelli like I'm like yo this motherfucker work I ain't like that like you know how many concerts I go to that we cross paths she's either performing or I'm performing like you you grind you make no excuses no excuses you know I was waiting for that tour you don't want my experience of what happened on that tour like you don't want to know and so I do yes we do I show up

34:51I'm in a Fendi for all white and shit you know what I'm saying got my wife with me she looking good crock burpees and shit like that I walk in I see Jay-Z the young I say yo what's up guys everybody's in the building and when I get in there I'm trying to watch actually they asked me to perform so while I'm getting ready I performed I came out fucking fight breaks out backstage I've been waiting 20 years to see the Monica saying branding tour. And they fucked everything up, man. And so, you know, that, I'm telling you the truth. They fucked up my experience. Who? No, no, no. Like a fan or fighting?

35:43A manager or agent? No, industry people were fighting. People didn't know. But it's horrible because I'm sitting there and I'm looking at Connie Orlando. I'm looking at everybody I respect from the industry from all over. And I'm like, how is this shit happening in the backseat? What the fuck? Like, huh? She said, ooh, nah, nobody. But, it was, it was bad for me. You know what I mean? Monica, I came out and Monica said she had hit me up. She was like, everything's okay. I said, yeah, everything's okay. You know, but it was, you know, it's crazy. But I waited for that tour. Another tour I missed was the, I miss the Boys to Men, New Edition, and Tony Braxton.

36:33How did I miss this tour, man? This shit. It's like, I go to the tours. I support. You know, I love. Do you go, like, as a fan to shows? If I get a chance to, I'm there. I mean, I came to Brooklyn just to witness vibes, you know. And I brought my friends with me. So you've been a Vibes Cartel fan? Yeah, in Brooklyn. So if I get a chance and I can bring people along, you know, that are also fans, it's a fun time for me. And especially now, I didn't get to go out when I was, of course, paying my dues in this industry. So I do all that now at this age. And so when you mentioned the Brandon Monica tour, I was just so proud of the ladies.

37:17So salute. You know what I'm saying? Because there was a beautiful sight to that experience. it was the biggest tour of last year and they did the damn thing and I'm so happy that they got their flowers totally different from Cardi B I love Cardi too Cardi B sold that bitch out, she's shaking ass she's doing more than that different music she's an entertainer I think she made it hard on artists because I think Cardi B blew the bag on the set I don't think you could just go up there like regular, you know, you know, some artists, they want the whole bag. So if you headlining a tour like that, the Serena tour shit like that, you got to spend money on the set, on the background of the set.

38:04I think Cardi B spent a lot of money on her set and all I heard from everybody, people with the ATL, people here, people, they were like, yo, her shit is crazy. You know what I'm saying? So I think you should invest in yourself if you're going to headline a fucking tour to get the shit right. But Cardi B, she definitely was throwing that shit out there. You know what I mean? Now, Usher tour was incredible, too. Which one did you go to? Where they was roller skating. Vegas. Yeah, Vegas. Vegas and here. I've always wanted to go to that one, but I haven't got the chance. Are you going to show up to the Chris Brown Usher tour?

38:43I sure will. That's somewhere you got to go. Yeah, that's good. You're not going to that shit, man. I'm going to drink $1 ,800 at that motherfucker too. No, I get drunk on shit like that. Like Chris Brown talk. We go to Mary. Yeah, I have. I went to the first. Thank God I was going to have my ticket and everything, but you know, four shows came up at the F1. I got to go over there. You seen it perhaps? Little Cadillac, little Carbone, little this. I got to go get the bag, man. Nobody else paying these fucking bills, man. And yo, these bills keep coming. They do? But bills don't take a break, huh?

39:28Oh, ever. Especially in this time. Are you fiscally conscious? You look like you watch. I actually am because guess who is my accountant? My mother. My mom is my accountant since 1997. It's Farvist's accountant. You both have something at home. So look, My mom's advice to me has always been live below my means. And oh my goodness, as an artist, of course, that's hard because you always got, you have to make the investment. Always. And then the independent game is completely different. It's all on you, right? Unless you have an investor or whatever. I haven't even allowed anybody to invest in it.

40:06You know, that comes with other things. So it's just all me. but I've been so blessed to have her in my corner watching the numbers. She puts me in check when I want to say, okay, I got to make this investment or can I do this for this person? No, you can't. No, not right now. Or yeah, you can take a break right now if you want for the rest of the year. So she'll be the voice of reason before I make some big decisions or when I can make those big decisions and that keeps me aware. But I always have been like this. Living right here below my me so I don't ever get in too much debt. And you know, I'm not a man either.

40:50You know what I'm saying? What does that mean? Meaning being a man comes with the expectation of taking care of everybody. You see what I'm saying? Would you take care of guys? I got some lady mans out here too. Lady men. Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. I keep beating. I know my whole crew consists of women that are bosses. But the expectation is not as present. No, no. It's society. It's changed. No, it's changed. Women are making more money in higher places these days. Oh, yes, absolutely. But the expectation is not for the woman to carry it all the time. I want a woman to buy me. If I could come back to earth next time, I'm going to be a gold digging man.

41:35I'm going to get me old bitch to pay my bills. I don't give a fuck. I'm opening the door for him and all that shit and carry the Birkin. Stead me. I'm a steadman. You're going to need stead? Get the fuck out of here. You think it's... Man, I'll be stepping in one second. You fucking... Yo, gal, where you at, girl?

41:55I don't got... Do you need a vacation? Huh? You sound like you do. No, I don't need a vacation. I just deal with reality and this shit is crazy. I know a guy. I have a friend. Ooh! She's a billionaire. We're on her yacht. She had a boyfriend. Nice, young, handsome guy. He had a couple of fucking businesses. He wasn't no bum. And we on the boat one time. The way it works is if I'm Maya's friend and you introduce me to your boyfriend, Tyrone, or something, I'm still Maya's friend. I don't know. That's just the way I've always been. So the guy sits down, your crack. Let me holler at you. I said, what's up?

42:36He said, man, you know, I'm intimidated. She pays for everything. She this and this. I'm looking at that motherfucker. And the guy calling me is like, man, you better fucking marry this bitch right now. Fuck wrong with you, nigga, but I can't cross the DNA. The DNA says I'm her friend. I'm like, my eyes is looking like boing. I'm just popping out. They say I want to tell them so fast. Are you great? she broke up with him. She got married in six months. Now is when you need to check on him. Yeah, that nigga like this. That nigga got Tourette's and all that shit. That nigga moving like this. He like, but there's nothing wrong with a woman being more successful than a man.

43:21You know? Especially when they share a little. Yeah, when a woman perhaps want to have a joint account or something, I'm down with You know what I'm saying? Put me on the wheel. It's a lot more men, right? It's a lot more, I think, without saying names. Who? It's a lot more men gold diggers these days than it ever was before. Like, men are getting married. Men are divorcing and asking for half the shit. This, this, that. I can tell you that's one thing I'm wasn't doing. That means a lot more ladies caked up. Yeah, but. But what? That's not how I was raised. she just told us the typical way of the world is men supposed to make the money not supposed to which is an expectation why they suing the woman why they trying to get half the money nowadays are making more money you just said it you know what I like Maya and you ain't gotta agree with me well I don't like one time shit was going on with the divorce and I watched six men.

44:30Six fucking men that work every day on a podcast. I'd have took her for the money. Yo, I need that paper. She's about to I'm like, what the fuck? I don't know what he's talking about. I know what I'm talking about. I don't know. I'm out of it. No, no, I'm telling you the truth. Oh, so you'll take the money. No. I'm out of it. If you was going with Gail Oprah. I just said I'm out of it. Nah, I can't. Listen. Did you ever have a statement? The man's the hunter. The man's the provider. Did you ever have a statement? anything. Complain. No, I fuck with Stepman. He didn't know what we talking about.

45:04Stepman. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that nowadays when you have a woman getting divorced with a man, and the man are fucking rap stars and shit. Hold on. What type of shit is going on? In today's time, a man can get embarrassed. I saw that shit in Dubai. My man's in Dubai tell me they will cut the man's arm off in the Middle East asking the woman for the paper. Like, asking for the paper. I watched six grown men talking about, I would get it for the money. Yo, I'm suing. Yo, I need some of that. Yo, Nick, you a man. Alright, so is this okay to give half a year fortune?

45:47I don't think it's right either way, but I think if you with a woman and you divorce and you've been with her with some time, cake off. What's wrong? Give her some M's. I'm not mad at that. What about vice versa? You mad at that? A man asking a woman for money? That's crazy to me. Say the same thing in reverse. It's not that... It is crazy to me for a man asking a woman for money. I think every situation... All you just think is expected. I think every situation is different. And then we might be talking about people that are not real adults anyway. You know what I'm saying? It could be out of spite.

46:27I don't know if they have kids I think it's the ego I think it might be pride Oh no, it ain't no pride in the guy It ain't no pride in the guy Let me tell you guys, it ain't no pride in the guy suing a girl for some money There ain't no pride in it Well the pride is crushed if a divorce is filed, if they got caught I get it could be a lot of problems These devices right here is much worse than back in the day You can make a man feel like a smurf I don't know I just told you earlier I would get with a rich woman and while I'm with her she could buy me whatever the fuck she want matter of fact I want a diamond the size of a dinosaur I'll take everything I'm talking about the current status of guys getting divorced with a woman and they acting like they gotta get paid I'm from when my father had three jobs they didn't write it down there's nowhere written that's it different You can't be taken care of.

47:28It's just in stone that when something go wrong, the man take all my money. No, I'm not all the way agreeing, but I'm not all the way disingering. Okay. To me, it's pretty weird, me being a man who has sacrificed and worked my whole life for my family to see six grown men on a podcast talking about how they're going to sue a girl and take her money and this and this and that. I'm on my second diet. I'm drinking water now. Thank you, man. Sky Rizzy. Don't give him no more of these shit. You see this? He's going back to back, Pellegrino, Diet Pets. He don't know what he wanted to system. I can't do it.

48:06I can't do it. Dang, Tracer. You know, people don't realize it's really, really hard to be an independent artist. But when you win as an independent artist, then you really win. And so it's hard. is good that you said your mom knows how to manage the books because I don't know how to manage shit. But I win independently. You know, I win all the time. But, huh? I can't take it. What are you talking about? I'm crazy, man. I just told you the other day I went broke three times. I don't give a fuck. I'm on this earth one time, guys. Yeah. And I'm a motherfucking ball till the shit is over. I'm a fucking ball.

48:52I'm going to buy me a fiscal watch right after this motherfucker. I don't give a fuck. Courtside, everything, everything. I don't give a fuck. I don't care. Nobody worked for it. Nobody got it for me. I work for it. I want to live good. When my daughter looks great, I love it. When my wife, my family look great, I love it. When my people drive fancy cars, I love it. When I just, I love the shit. I don't give a, I love the shit. I'm addicted to the shit. I pay my taxes I pay my bills do it I'm addicted to the shit nah cause it ain't nothing fiscal about me what about mine? mine's the shit mine don't give a fuck my dad is very much like me smart guy he's independent he likes nice things he's into cars he's right there by the way and and he looks young and he's young in spirit Pop is not vegan but you can rewind the time whenever you want that CBS society.

50:01Hey why fight the time when you can rewind the time? He does what he wants to do. He buys what he wants to buy. He goes where he wants to go. Next week he might slip on a banana pier. We're hanging out. Yeah. Hop on this Pop. That's too easy. Steak and lock. You a vegan too, Pops? Nah. Hell no, right? You gonna eat that shit. Come on, man. That shit crazy. That being your shit, huh? I tried it. You tried it, right? I tried it for four hours. It was over. Cardboard records. First it was three. No, it was two. It's out of love. Anyway, I say that to say that my dad is independent spirit. I've watched him grind my entire life I'm talking about multiple jobs at once because family was important but he also likes nice things he's going to live how he wants to live he's going to eat what he wants to eat man looking like Billy Williams over there he already rewinding the time facts and he does what he loves to do which is why he looks the way he looks you know what I'm saying but nobody's going to tell him to do anything that he does not want to do and he's not going to die on an empty stomach.

51:20That's what he says when I try to get him to eat healthy. No, I'm going to go out of this world with a full stomach and a happy one, right? Let me doubt. But out of love, I come in. I heard y 'all talking about veganism and I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that. But he's trying, right? And it's because, you know, I care about my dad. I care about my family. That's right. But he's stubborn because he likes the things that he likes and he's going to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. It is as simple as that. So I understand everything that you're saying. That was good. And he likes when his daughter is happy.

51:58Guess what? And protected. Your fans want you to live great. They love you. They want you to do whatever you want to do. That's your fans. Like, it's like, yo, I'm... They do. I just got to keep making money, God. Please let me keep making money so I can keep enjoying this shit. I just love it.

53:28This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary, massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone very far from earth. I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo, yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.

54:04But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me. and I left it on the mic. That's great. Because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:09:31Which one's the single? Oh, well, give it to you. I released last year, but D-Nice is on it now to intro the album. So the first part of the album is, you know, all party from the specific era, late 70s into the 80s. And then midway through, number seven's Ain't Another. But the current single is featuring Too Short called Just a Little Bit. I like that. I like him as a rapper. So, Chonin Lucas, he's dumb nice. You know what's crazy? He came on a song like Jadakiss would have came on a song. Yeah. I'm going to be honest with you. When he came in, I said, damn, that's how Kiss would have came on a song.

1:10:10He's definitely studied. Yo, kid, he looking at me like I'm stupid or I'm crazy. Like, I don't know what I'm saying. You don't know how Jadakiss come on a song? Yeah, but I don't know how you can say how he is coming on a song. I'm like, maybe my ears, maybe you got different ears. I do. He killed it. I do. I think I would have sounded totally different. Oh, no, you definitely do sound different. The way he came on, that's all I'm saying. Just the, yo, my, yo, that's how you would have went in on it. I can't 100 % agree with you. I might have went another route. Facts, facts, facts. He'll be on a remix.

1:10:55You know she actually called me for this hour. I didn't want to take time. You was busy, huh? I didn't want to put the silence on. No, no, you was busy. You was busy. Yeah, you was busy. I can't get him on a song, and he's sitting right next to me. You don't be saying this shit. Who's got it? So can I get you on a song? Because I got a song I want you on. You think saying it right here is just saying it right here? Because otherwise, I'll be waiting to Antarctica some shit, bro. That's it. I can't all, brother. All right. Retrospect. Retrospect.
