2:10
guy n just till just now wow so gu Craig
2:14
don't get don't get influenced by this
2:17
do you know what again it goes back to
2:18
that bro man's been in this for a minute
2:21
right yeah so terminology Flex
2:24
differently over the years you know that
2:26
was smooth that's what I'm saying like
2:28
one minute this one minut it's that
2:31
that kid I got you back bro thank you
2:33
man I feel you Craig David you're in
2:35
really great shape but was that you talk
2:38
about the duration of time we spent in
2:39
this business there were times that you
2:41
know I went from um being an artist with
2:45
sway King Tech to working and doing a
2:47
world famous wakeup show in the 90s with
2:49
swaying King Tech to jumping on MTV in
2:52
2000 now Sway in the Morning in 2011
2:55
right yeah Each decade I'm somebody
2:57
different and I'm wondering if I'm going
2:59
to be able to sustain into the next de
3:01
decade you know what I mean like I'm not
3:03
going to be able to keep my body
3:04
together I'm not going to be able to
3:06
stay in shape keep my mind you know
3:08
clear and and balanced what what has
3:10
been your challenge in that Arena I feel
3:13
it's it's being able to be vulnerable
3:16
and express those vulnerabilities
3:17
because there's a power in that cuz
3:20
especially for for men there's like this
3:22
this old school way of like man up and
3:25
like we don't talk about that just get
3:27
in there and we don't talk about
3:28
emotions we don't go there you know what
3:29
I mean and and I think when you see the
3:32
the in increase of male suicide rates
3:35
you start to say that that ain't really
3:36
working anymore we need to sack that
3:38
completely off and start and start aresh
3:40
so I felt that my the the Saving Grace
3:43
for me is to be able to speak on things
3:45
so I can use stories and anecdotes about
3:48
things that have happened to me music as
3:49
a musician but just human to human like
3:52
where are you at let's talk about stuff
3:54
so you can see someone that you may be
3:56
inspired by showing you that you have
3:59
exactly the same human flaws as anyone
4:01
else you can experience those things so
4:03
I feel like by the virtue of doing that
4:06
it makes you almost superum because then
4:10
people you're you're relatable they see
4:12
that you can't always sustain the with
4:15
top of this thing all the time you can't
4:17
sustain the injuries start to happen in
4:20
in life across the board not just
4:22
physically and I find that that's really
4:23
inspiring for me because once you become
4:25
real with it it doesn't you don't Define
4:27
Yourself by okay it's the physique on
4:30
point today or do we hit the number one
4:32
position today none of that changes who
4:34
you are on a soul level so you walk out
4:37
the studio like you know what I love the
4:38
song the same way it was before it hit
4:40
any charts or streaming or anything it
4:43
makes you live life different and I
4:44
think that's a I wish I could bestow
4:47
that upon any artist in there and say
4:48
like it's not that deep some of the
4:50
stuff you know it's not that deep Bro
4:51
really not them headlines make you think
4:53
it is you lose sleep you lose life over
4:56
headlines no it's true real talk yeah
4:58
cuz you're stressing over
5:00
yeah and the people and and disease
5:02
really just comes from a disease in the
5:04
body you're constantly stressing about
5:06
I'm not worthy and who's the authority
5:08
is it the the streams is it streams is
5:10
it the chart position is it am I the hot
5:13
thing am I not if you can remove all of
5:15
that for a moment say yo who's the one
5:18
behind all of that cuz that's the one
5:20
that's going to say consistently doing
5:22
the marathon and winning all the races
5:24
slowly you know what I mean like I get
5:25
it like you can get caught up in the mix
5:27
of things and when I first started off I
5:28
feel like I was I wanted to achieve that
5:30
number one I wanted to have that that
5:32
album and I don't say I don't wouldn't
5:35
enjoy any of those things and when they
5:36
come I'm very grateful but it doesn't
5:38
Define who I am wow man Craig David is
5:41
here man when you first came out
5:44
though Carl
5:46
Thomas
5:48
Usher Luther vandros R
5:53
Kelly all of these people were out and
5:56
you and you expected to be on the top of
5:58
the had to put the last name in there
6:01
you got to you had to Kell 2000 you got
6:05
to you got to say that but I mean people
6:07
don't like to talk about it but yo it
6:10
was hard it it was hard back then when
6:12
him dropping the music that he was
6:13
dropping and he saw of no pun had the
6:16
best of both worlds because he had the
6:18
hip hop and the R&B crowd yeah and then
6:21
Here Comes Craig
6:22
David you know uh and what was it
6:26
slicker than your average came out with
6:28
the second one Bor to do born to do it
6:30
was the first yeah but it was a yeah it
6:32
was a wild time what was that like
6:34
though like I mean it was kind of like a
6:35
second British Invasion wouldn't you say
6:37
like because you had Spice Girls you had
6:38
Craig David you had all these people
6:39
that were coming over just like in the
6:41
80s with the punk artists you know what
6:42
I mean the clash and all stuff like that
6:44
so I guess I would compared to that I
6:46
don't know if maybe that's what you were
6:47
well yeah that I mean with all of that
6:49
happening but how could he compete right
6:52
you know especially back then us like
6:54
what was that like for you do you know
6:56
what was wild about it is that I was
6:58
coming from being a 16 17 year old kid
7:01
writing songs in my bedroom like fil me
7:03
in and seven days and walking away mhm
7:05
he heavily listening to American culture
7:08
so I mean growing up on Biggie and
7:10
growing up on Tupac and the East Coast
7:12
West Coast thing and but then also
7:13
having the ushers of this world and the
7:15
Joe's AAR and and knowing knowing that
7:18
tank was in there doing those those
7:20
background vocals and saying one day
7:21
this guy's going to blow which is so
7:23
much love to see tank having his T our
7:25
guy man salute to Tank Man Beyond like
7:28
in the R&B money podcast can't play with
7:30
him he doesn't play so to come out of
7:32
the box as a as a British Artist and
7:35
then be in the amidst those kind of
7:38
artist and I I I talked about it
7:40
probably on the last show but the House
7:41
of Blues when I came over and that run
7:43
of three shows I did in La yeah was me
7:46
performing my first time born to do it
7:49
and I'm seeing Missy Elliot and Jennifer
7:50
Lopez the first night oh the second
7:52
night the queen be Beyonce comes out to
7:54
see form and then the last night I'm
7:56
looking in the crowd and I see
7:59
everyone's looking at someone in the
8:00
crowd I'm like I know that face the
8:02
front of house lights go on and it's
8:03
Stevie Wonder singing walking away what
8:06
and I'm just like it sounds like one of
8:08
those okay how many more names you want
8:09
to drop yet but we're here so let's go
8:10
go so I come backstage I get to meet
8:13
Stevie which is just like I me I grew up
8:15
on his music my mom was playing him like
8:17
in in and out of my house and then he he
8:20
he says oh I'm with and I look and it's
8:22
Quincy Jones is there oh my and Quincy
8:24
Jones says yeah you know MJ he's been
8:27
giving your albums out to all his
8:28
friends I said what he said it's so blaz
8:30
like it was all calm I had to pull him
8:32
up and say Quincy when we're on first
8:35
name terms now I had to just be like
8:36
Quincy I lost it that MJ's giving it
8:39
yeah yeah yeah Michael's been giving out
8:40
to every I was like yo if this whole
8:42
dream just Bubble Burst right now and I
8:44
go back to my little projects in the
8:46
Southampton where I grew up uhuh I'm
8:48
good here so it was just like when the
8:51
dream happens and you're that age it's
8:55
it's a wild experience as a roller
8:57
coaster right that do do you spend the
8:58
rest of your years trying to regain or
9:02
recapture that moment you know uh cuz
9:05
you kind of started here you know in
9:07
terms do you know what I I've now
9:09
learned over the course of what that was
9:12
2000 when the first album dropped let
9:14
say 24 years in in the game and for me
9:18
it's the EB and flow of a career that
9:21
for me I smile when I wake up every
9:23
morning because you can have the big
9:25
record you can have the big song the big
9:27
album you can be here for a moment and
9:29
it's like yeah you remember but to have
9:31
a a consistent career which is going to
9:33
have the EB and flow you're G to have
9:35
the UPS where you're top of the thing
9:37
you're going to be a moment where it's
9:38
like yeah okay that was last year forget
9:39
that some new guy new girl is in town
9:41
and and that's cool as long as you just
9:43
stay in there there's always a time when
9:45
you you'll jump on you'll score the you
9:47
know what I mean the touchdown that oh
9:49
you're the guy like or someone got
9:51
injured and you come in and you so I've
9:53
always just been a believer that just
9:56
just stick in do the music and know that
9:58
times will be on you light and some will
10:00
be off that's why back to definitions
10:02
man if you don't Define Yourself by how
10:04
successful a moment is you're always
10:06
successful you wake up like yeah yeah
10:09
whole are living they live live they're
10:12
out here you walked in the room with
10:14
jamming one of your songs and people
10:15
vibing out to it they catching the
10:17
contact on it they don't even know you
10:19
walking in the room bro I I I was I'm so
10:22
grateful and privileged when I walk in I
10:24
hear those songs MH I'm just like it
10:26
takes me back to the inner child of me
10:28
and reminds why I got into this whole
10:30
thing before you can easily get techy
10:32
with it and be like yo it's about like
10:34
how many you what you moving how many
10:36
you did before that I was just in my
10:39
bedroom playing on some big space
10:41
speaker that was blasting up the whole
10:43
place and living my best life and when
10:46
you get back to the simple things it
10:48
reminds you of what this is don't get me
10:50
wrong it's it's given me a life that I
10:51
can't can't couldn't dream of it's allow
10:54
me to travel it's allow me to see the
10:56
world meet people but it's allowed you
10:58
to wear this jacket out and allow me to
11:00
wear this jacket cuz this jacket could
11:03
could well just uh be inside out or you
11:06
find it on a market store kind of style
11:08
and I'll be cool with that we rock the
11:10
High Street and we rock the the passion
11:12
come on man come on pay we the sauce we
11:16
when you are the sauce you can wear the
11:18
white T-shirt and it's calm there it is
11:20
you know what I mean 10 three for the
11:21
price of
11:23
one because when when you when you do
11:25
when your talent comes through I
11:26
genuinely believe that it just it
11:28
instills uh an importance in any artist
11:31
to know that yeah it's going to be ups
11:32
and downs but know that you're if you
11:34
got the talent it's always there it's
11:35

lot of artists can learn from this this
18:26

is right but look at the way in which he
18:32
addresses the audience in which he came
18:34
in the room shook everybody he don't
18:36
even know who those those Hooligans in
18:37

24:55

24:56

24:59
[ __ ]
25:00
you it's like it's it's almost like it's
25:03
I've got all the flows can be there but
25:06
I think it's like see the universal God
25:08
just shuts me down and says yo just park
25:10
that for a moment just give him the
25:11
sweet Melodies and the right Vibes you
25:13

25:17
it's not there just it's love it's
25:18
positive energy you're too happy bro I'm
25:20
just a walking magnet of Good Vibes talk
25:24
happy record
25:26
rightness maybe that's the new flex
25:28
happy record love you
25:32
brother I love you brother
25:35
don't yo C get in the beef with Chris
25:38
Brown and qu Drake and I'm just I'm just
25:43
over here like the singer Sweet Melody
25:45
but you know what's kind of wild maybe
25:46
maybe The Conspiracy Theory with all of
25:48
that whole stuff there which would be a
25:50
wild card just imagine that Drake was
25:52
actually kind of just that people were
25:53
talking to other people and saying like
25:55
for the for the culture of hip-hop let's
25:57
do it let's have this because all eyes
25:59
are on it right now how much of a
26:01
conspiracy theory and crazy would that
26:03
be that you actually say yo Rick just
26:04
come with the thing come over here with
26:07
it so when we put all eyes on us no one
26:09
needs to tell anyone that we ever did
26:11
this but all eyes are on hip-hop right
26:12
now I just really genuinely in my heart
26:15
and I think D1 speaks on this really
26:16
eloquently is that it just always stays
26:19
as entertainment Vibes and it never goes
26:21
to the biggies in the two packs and
26:23
those those places the spars can be hard
26:25
but it doesn't need to go outside of the
26:27
entertainment of it so but D1 yeah love
26:29
my guy he's pushing pushing the whole
26:31
thing and calling out and saying yo
26:33
we're standing on this now absolutely
26:35
that's called we're going to call that
26:36
the Craig David
26:38
Theory okay the Craig David theory is
26:40
they're all in cahoots under the hood
26:42
under the hood you know what I mean and
26:44
then for for the spirit of of hip-hop
26:46
and and putting the eyes on it you know
26:48
stimulus package treat hip hop stimulus
26:51
package you know what I'm saying all
26:52
right because they were saying that
26:54
streams and all of this stuff was down
26:56
but you got to question who are they
26:59
I keep asking who are they they said who
27:01
they who are they who is telling us that
27:04
the streams are down that which means
27:07
artists don't get paid even
27:09
less you can't remember your passport
27:12
we'll reset it for you always question
27:15
it they are the people who have to pay
27:17
out the royalties always be willing to
27:20
go and and and and I think that's the
27:21
beauty of what we now have with the
27:23
internet and the way that people can
27:25
discover things you can actually be your
27:27
own Advocate and you can also do be your
27:28
own detective yeah before it was like
27:30
well you're channeled into one place but
27:32
now you can actually you can find the
27:34
information and like people who will
27:35
share information and then you can make
27:36
your own discernment as to what's going
27:38
on man give it up for Craig David man I
27:40
love this guy
