1:14
oh man
1:17
yes let's do it couple things candy it's
1:20
good to see you it's been a while since
1:21
you've been in this seat even though
1:23
you've been here you know in the
1:24
building I saw you last week in your
1:26
leather outfit I think it was
1:28
I was wondering how you was going to top
1:29
that
1:31
I I would have wore something different
1:33
but I was coming straight from the
1:34
airport to come see you thank you thank
1:36
you Candy give it up for candy Burris
1:37
all right
1:39
um we would just have an interesting
1:40
conversation before we get into this uh
1:42
we watched playing Cameo Candy it's like
1:44
candy
1:46
and um I was asking candy because to
1:48
your point Heather she's written so many
1:50
hits for so many people including
1:51
herself how did she analyze this
1:54
particular song and I think this is a
1:56
good insight for folks who want to learn
1:58
how to write songs and Candy you pointed
2:00
out what made what what you felt made
2:03
this song special is
2:05
his delivery okay so I mean I think
2:08
people don't you know you you think the
2:10
hook is catchy the lyrics you know the
2:13
track is you know whatever but a lot of
2:15
people don't think about when somebody
2:17
vocal produce somebody what they bring
2:19
out of the song and it's like the
2:22
delivery meaning out screaming at
2:26
appetite the way he's saying it yeah
2:28
like if you just said ow singing that
2:32
appetite well it's all right it'll be
2:34
okay right but it's not like what he's
2:37
bringing that energy yeah it's totally
2:39
different so you gave a correlation
2:41
between that and the song scrubs right
2:44
well yes
2:46
um and well my example to you was when
2:49
we
2:50
um when TLC first you know redid the
2:52
song right because it was originally me
2:54
and Tiny's first demo right they scrubs
2:58
right yeah we were like why doesn't who
2:59
he was like something's missing what is
3:02
not there and it was the backgrounds on
3:05
the hook so at first like our hook they
3:09
ended up adding our backgrounds back to
3:10
the song So if you listen to No Scrubs
3:12
yes I'm on the backgrounds on there yeah
3:14
but originally when they first redid it
3:16
you know they redid the backgrounds but
3:18
they were just like I don't want no
3:20
scrub scrub It's gotta can't get no love
3:23
from me hanging out there like that okay
3:25
right it still sounded good but it still
3:27
sounding good but the energy is
3:28
different when you say I don't want no
3:30
scrub but scrub is the guy that can't
3:32
get no love from me hanging out the
3:34
passenger side of his best friends right
3:36
it's different it gives it that valley
3:38
girl because really when me and Tiny
3:41
first did the the feeling I wanted
3:43
people to get remember we like the cars
3:46
the cars
3:49
yes that was the vibe I wanted people to
3:52
get when they sang the hook so that was
3:55
the vibe we gave when we were singing it
3:58
the trim inspired No Scrubs well they
4:02
didn't Inspire the words the words was
4:05
inspired by some ex-boyfriends but
4:09
that the vibe of the way we sang The
4:12
Hook was the same energy remember how it
4:15
said sometimes that energy gives you you
4:17
know it makes you feel different when
4:18
you Tracy you ever hear the trim l
4:21
apostrophe t-r-i-m-m I believe I was
4:24
going through my mind I don't think so
4:26
we like the cars that go boom
4:29
probably if I hear it that I can say yes
4:31
but in my mind it's not coming to me
4:33
yeah it's back in the day okay I don't
4:34
have to dig that one up huh yeah
4:37
hold on let me see this this was a big
4:39
song I analyzed everything I like that
4:42
because like somebody else when they
4:44
listen to it they may not hear what I'm
4:45
hearing but for me it's like you can
4:47
easily say we like the cars the cars
4:51
that go boom man you know but they was
4:53
like we like the cars the cars that go
4:56
boom it gives it a different energy
4:58
shout out to little trim it's the vocal
5:01
production
5:03
yes how you say it and that's what make
5:06
people catch on to certain things when
5:09
people sing certain songs
5:12
Andy Burris breaking it down right now
5:15
I'm wondering now then candy you know
5:17
how sometimes you'll see a song and
5:18
there'll be like 20 people in the
5:20
songwriters credits that'd be too much
5:22
for me but listen you ain't trying to
5:23
split the check like that
5:25
writer he told me what time that I told
5:28
him he was like he saw me a couple years
5:30
ago and he was like oh my God I looked
5:32
look up to you he said I remember one
5:33
time you told me when we were younger he
5:35
said you said more than two I don't do
5:40
and I was like dang I told you that but
5:42
the thing is I don't like when it be a
5:46
whole bunch of people in the room and
5:48
they want to throw a the on the song or
5:51
yeah you know just like uh one word one
5:53
word phrases or one sentence and they
5:55
think they're gonna get a percentage of
5:57
the song ah no this song I I put all
6:00
this work in this you're not gonna come
6:02
in here with one line one word and think
6:04
you finna get 20 no way no way well you
6:08
know because you can't
6:10
you don't know how the song is going to
6:12
get split percentage-wise when it's all
6:15
said and done because sometimes people
6:17
be tripping or whatever and want to get
6:19
more than what they put in so for me to
6:22
keep the confusion down less people
6:25
writing on it less people we gotta
6:27
figure out like if I know it's just me
6:30
and Tiny I know me and Tiny put in will
6:31
be putting in I know we can but if this
6:34
person and that person and all everybody
6:36
jumping in is like but you know
6:38
sometimes it's like a lot of writers
6:40
because they may have a sample on the
6:42
song so you have to CR um all the
6:44
original writers get a percentage of
6:46
that song and become a writer on the
6:47
song as well as the new writer so you
6:50
got like a whole bunch of names listed
6:52
and then some people don't understand
6:54
that the person who does the music or
6:56
the producer most of the time that is
6:59
also considered a writer he may not have
7:01
wrote a lyric you know but he's still a
7:03
writer because he wrote the music right
7:06
you know so him and he might have been
7:08
two different people putting together
7:10
the track or three different people so
7:12
yeah that's the game right there the
7:15
whole the whole game just like that just
7:18
like that I love your uh your business
7:20
sensibility I just had to point it out
7:23
you know that's one of the things that
7:25
also attracts me to your career you know
7:27
it's all the various things that you've
7:29
done I've eaten in your restaurants they
7:31
treated me like a king I came in I said
7:33
I know Candy all right
7:36
hook them up hook them up like you was
7:39
relay this way I did I tell you later
7:40
I'm family Candy's family she'll tell
7:43
you
7:44
um do you have I've developed certain
7:46
things I think because of trial and
7:48
error and the way I've done business
7:49
that I shy away from you know
7:52
um and I'm very careful if I do business
7:54
with family you know I'm very
7:56
transparent up front we spell it out you
7:59
know because I don't want no confusion
8:01
with family
8:02
um in terms of uh how you approach
8:04
business do you have some dues and do
8:06
you have some don'ts
8:09
um well when it comes to family and
8:11
close friends that
8:14
um that I care about that I definitely
8:16
want to keep in my life forever I've
8:18
already made a lot of myself I'll never
8:19
fall out with them about money okay ever
8:21
so if there's a dispute or somebody
8:25
upset and then I'm just letting them had
8:27
it like I'm not gonna fall out with my
8:29
family about money period like that's
8:31
never gonna happen Okay so if you got
8:34
that rule okay yeah because I mean I
8:36
just feel like
8:38
um you know I was raised with a lot of
8:41
my family members like meaning cousins
8:43
and aunts and and you know like some
8:46
people don't see those extended members
8:47
of FM last time but growing up I was
8:49
like with my family every single Sunday
8:51
we had to eat together until I was like
8:54
mid-20s
8:56
um except for like if I was out on doing
8:58
a tour or something like that but yeah I
9:01
was with them every single time so we
9:02
was together all the time and so those
9:04
are like my sisters my brothers and I'm
9:05
not gonna fall out with them about money
9:07
like and they owe me money and they
9:10
don't give it back
9:11
they just didn't give it back you write
9:13
that off or if you know it's just like
9:15
so certain things like I'm not out of
9:17
place to my family now other people if I
9:20
if I don't if you're not a person that I
9:23
plan to keep in my life forever then I
9:26
can keep you off and cut you off and
9:28
keep it pushing like we never knew each
9:30
other yeah your face got totally
9:31
different you said that part
9:35
because it's a difference like I'm very
9:37
much like this is this and that is that
9:40
I'm not really like a a mess in the
9:43
middle you know what I mean it's just
9:45
kind of like I'm very clear on how you
9:48
know what boxes I separate situations I
9:53
like that but you've been in it you're a
9:54
veteran that's why I'm picking your
9:56
brain now come on you've been in it for
9:58
a minute I've had situations I saw uh go
10:00
ahead oh I was about to say another
10:01
thing when it comes to family and
10:03
business now I would not necessarily put
10:06
them in a position that they aren't
10:08
ready for okay meaning I will put them
10:12
in a position that I'm grooming them up
10:14
to grow into you see what I'm saying but
10:18
don't put them at a you know High
10:19
position and then you they disappoint
10:21
you and then you want to treat them like
10:23
them you treat the man off the street no
10:24
you can't do that because that's still
10:26
my family don't you think we gonna treat
10:30
them a certain way we're gonna have to
10:31
help mold them and fix them and setting
10:34
them up for greatness you know what I'm
10:35
saying shut them up for greatness but in
10:38
business because we are business people
10:39
we don't want to lose our money
10:42
um I feel like when we when I partner up
10:44
with people I like to partner up with
10:46
people who have more knowledge than I do
10:49
in certain situations
10:51
so for instance uh for my clothing store
10:55
Tags you know like I wanted to do a
10:56
clothing store but I never do no
10:58
clothing store like I hadn't done that
11:00
anything like that but I had a friend
11:01
who had multiple clothing stores before
11:03
so I partnered with her because she had
11:05
that knowledge or whatever
11:07
um you know so it's different you know
11:10
you you know if you want to be a partner
11:12
and business with them I wouldn't just
11:14
let a family member come to me and they
11:15
never done something before and then
11:18
they just want to be like yeah we're
11:19
going to go in 50 50.
11:22
I don't know if you went to school that
11:24
or that's something that you know more
11:25
about then that's cool but otherwise
11:28
then I might have to find somebody else
11:29
they know about that and we can groom
11:31
you and train you up
11:34
eventually yeah family members pay heed
11:36
to that too because it'll be sometimes
11:38
there's a lot of expectations
11:41
um maybe even entitlement with your
11:43
success right and you're a celebrity so
11:45
even with that family members have to
11:47
learn how to cope with it I've had
11:49
family members who have sent out Tweets
11:52
in different things and put my name in
11:54
it that uh
11:56
that upset me to say the least and I
11:59
realized I never gave them boundaries
12:01
right right I've seen um headlines with
12:04
your mom speaking out um about
12:06
relationships
12:08
it's your mother though what do you do
12:11
how do yeah
12:16
um I've never really kind of got the
12:18
hang of what do you do in the mama
12:20
situation because you know I just kind
12:22
of like you know was raised like your
12:24
mom is your mama you can't you know cut
12:26
your mama off you know whatever and you
12:28
don't disrespect your mama
12:30
but at the same time like sometimes you
12:33
know your parents can push a button yeah
12:36
yeah you know so um
12:39
um I mean I guess I'm just like anybody
12:41
else who is in that situation where I
12:43
you know I would never
12:45
um be disrespectful to my mom absolutely
12:48
but um you know you know sometimes you
12:51
go through your moments where you'll be
12:52
like yeah I may not call you for a
12:55
couple days give it a day
12:57
give me some space yeah right yeah yeah
13:00
it's a it's the it's the um most
13:03
interesting thing I haven't had
13:05
y'all have had my mother
13:08
I'm looking at him
13:15
what do you do nothing just a couple
13:18
days
13:24
I see people online it's time for her to
13:27
check her mama you check my mama
13:37
I do have some friends who have that
13:40
type of relationship with their parents
13:41
where they can't check them and I'd be
13:43
like wow like y'all do that right yeah
13:48
but not not on my side of the family
13:51
like no you just gotta give it to God
13:53
yeah I mean my mom is the youngest of 14
13:57
kids and all of my aunts and uncles you
14:01
know felt like they was your mama your
14:03
daddy too like I remember my aunts and
14:06
you know coming with my mom to sit me
14:08
now sit down when I was checking stuff I
14:11
say something to hurt us out of pocket
14:13
they gonna come in too it's like a whole
14:15
family gang up I ain't got time for that
14:18
candy getting beat up by the Auntie and
14:20
Uncle
14:22
yeah I have to like whenever I'm dealing
14:25
with something I call my cousin weenie
14:27
and I'd be like would you talk to her
14:29
please just talk
14:31
cousin weenie yeah my cousin weenie I
14:34
get her I'd be like please talk to her
14:35

14:42
moms man they just be happy
14:44
yeah yeah they did just be happy about
14:46
the kids success or not
14:52
happy about the kids success but not
14:54
happy that they may not have the same
14:56
control that they did when you were
14:58
younger yeah I think that's more
14:59
something and look at her she just did a
15:02
Coca-Cola commercial right there you see
15:03
how she took that sip go ahead nah do
15:05
your thing my bad no no no that's good
15:08
we could get a check from that too Candy
15:10
Burns is here give a big round of
15:12
applause I love
15:15
the diversity in your portfolio I don't
15:18
think your business portfolio
15:20
producing on Broadway was that just
15:23
always a dream of yours
15:26
being on Broadway was a dream of mine
15:29
okay having some
15:32
something probably was always a dream of
15:33
mine I think
15:35
when I was younger I didn't really
15:37
understand the job of a producer for
15:40
that to have been my dream as a young
15:42
kid you know what I'm saying like I went
15:43
to performing arts school
15:45
um a lot of people don't know before our
15:48
group ever you know came out or whatever
15:49
we were at Tri-Cities High School of a
15:52
visual Performing Arts shout out to
15:54
y'all okay all right all right and um I
15:58
was there for drama
16:00
um and then I also was in the youth
16:02
Ensemble of Atlanta for musical theater
16:04
outside of the school
16:06
so I did both of those you trained for
16:08
this yeah yeah well that was you know
16:10
when I was a kid you know what I mean
16:12
um so that was like always the dream you
16:15
know some of the friends of you know
16:17
people that actually went to school with
16:18
me have gone on to be Tony nominated you
16:22
know and um you know stuff like that so
16:25
it's like you know a group of us who
16:29
that's what we did you know what I mean
16:31
that was like the talk like oh one day
16:33
we will you know and so but for me you
16:36
know my music career with my group
16:37
escaped um jumped off first and so my
16:39
acting dreams and stuff kind of went to
16:41
the Wayside for a while and I don't know
16:43
if you guys noticed but in the last you
16:45
know six seven years I really kind of
16:48
amped it up on doing my auditions going
16:50
out there and putting myself out there
16:51
and you know that's how I ended up
16:53
getting acting roles and stuff like that
16:56
so the first thing I did on Broadway I
16:58
was um Mama Morton in Chicago
17:01
um and that was as an actress and then
17:04
the opportunity came up
17:06
um last year for me to be able to come
17:10
on board with thoughts of a colored man
17:12
as a producer
17:13
and I thought that was like super super
17:16
important the project itself and what it
17:20
was you know all about and plus the fact
17:22
that Broadway had been shut down and I
17:25
wanted it to come back with a little bit
17:27
more diversity yeah and so yeah I mean
17:30
for that reason I've gotten even more
17:33
involved in the Broadway world because I
17:34
feel like it's important for us to see
17:36
uh more representation in front of and
17:40
behind the scenes you know what I mean
17:44
um so
17:45
that was my first project and now
17:47
um my producing partner on that was like
17:49
Hey the next project I'm doing is the
17:52
piano lesson and I'm working with
17:55
Latonya Richardson Jackson to put this
17:57
together you know would you want to be a
18:00
part of it with us or whatever and I was
18:02
like of course yeah you know
18:05
um another thing about it like to me to
18:07
see Latonya Richardson Jackson be the
18:12
first black woman to direct a August
18:15
Wilson production on Broadway I just
18:19
thought you know hey we need to see that
18:21
yeah
18:24
so you know I wanted to be a part of
18:27
that as a producer what was your job was
18:30
it's not solely to put up money is it
18:32
not solely um producers obviously you
18:35
know they do you know participate
18:36
financially in the show
18:38
um but for us
18:40
um also to get the word out there
18:41
because like I said for me it's um been
18:44
very important to diversify yes right
18:47
away I mean I think I've told you this
18:49
before when I came last year that you
18:52
know for a long time Broadway was known
18:54
as the great white way and it's just
18:57
time that you know people of color like
18:59
know that it's not just for one group of
19:03
people it's for everybody and um you
19:05
know these are there are shows out there
19:07
that you know representation for you
19:10
that you can feel connected to and you
19:13
know come on out and I and also with me
19:17
getting the word out there to the world
19:20
is is it's even better because it's not
19:23
just like the people of New York who
19:24
normally go to shows now you got people
19:27
coming from all over to fly in to see
19:29
the show so
19:31
um just you know doing my part to make
19:33
sure you're doing more than your part
19:35
candy give it up for candy birds
19:37
love this one I can't wait for the candy
19:39
movie to come out
19:41
the candy movie candy Burris the biopic
19:45
oh gosh that in my life I guess like she
19:49
be like you it's dope that's just so
19:51
humble though candy real talk but you
19:54
that needs to happen
19:55
you need a if you need a scene in it
19:57
where you just had a radio station you
20:00
know and I came in they started playing
20:02
it's like candy yeah yeah yeah we got
20:04
you right there all right
20:06
Tracy had a question
20:07
we were having a conversation earlier
20:09
about um I haven't had an experience
20:12
um
20:19
but that's why I thought you said I had
20:21
a great brilliant conversation and she
20:23
could give us some insight on it though
20:30
so like your cousin weenie right I have
20:33
a cousin Kim she's my my road dog we
20:35
call her Cuddy she runs with me to
20:37
different spots I'm probably not
20:38
supposed to be in a friend invited me to
20:41
a
20:42
she's an anal sex Queen she invited me
20:45
to a party I didn't know what kind of
20:48
party it was because she said I didn't
20:50
have to participate okay if y'all get
20:52
there it's all women
20:53
just all over each other wait what
20:57
it was the actual sexual party it's a
21:00
sex party oh in different rooms they
21:03
didn't serve any alcohol and it was just
21:05
women just women and she invited you
21:08
yeah because we were working together on
21:10
a different project so I showed up
21:13
Candy's browser
21:16
that didn't sound much like work but
21:18
okay yeah I showed up we were doing a
21:20
talk show together you know so I showed
21:23
up with my cousin we sat in the corner
21:25
your cousin was a female too female too
21:27
only women okay okay
21:29
flabbergasted so she just wanted you to
21:32
watch yeah she said I could just watch
21:34
no one would approach me which they
21:35
didn't no one would if I didn't she was
21:37
interested in you the girl my friend
21:46
I'm just like unless this is a
21:49
conversation you guys unless you guys
21:51
had a conversation about
21:53
um sex and women you know how some
21:55
problems you could be having a
21:56
conversation with my friends and they'd
21:57
be like I don't know how two women can
22:00
do it together like you know you hear
22:02
women say that some some women who have
22:04
never had that experience and then she
22:06
probably was like hmm I'm gonna show her
22:08
how they do it
22:11
selling she was saying how she goes
22:13
around and teaches people how to have
22:15
healthy anal sex
22:17
and okay she was like we there's parties
22:20
in New York City all the time I was like
22:21
where but wait but they do it together
22:24
who do it together you said the women
22:27
no that this party was just women
22:33
they had dildos strap-ons from your
22:37
website
22:38
well you can at bedroomcandy.com
22:43
we do have those for people who enjoy
22:47
that yes okay yeah you know hey we got
22:51
it sex positivity y'all yes absolutely
22:53
no shaming okay I wasn't shaming I was
22:57
just blown away because I didn't know
22:59
all of this stuff happened there were
23:00
rooms there were people being punched in
23:02
the back they were like floating toilet
23:04
seats punched yeah Tracy said it was sms
23:08
okay it's people who like that yeah
23:11
right they were floating toilet seats um
23:13
like they just take the toilet seat it
23:15
was on four legs and you take your pants
23:17
down and somebody climbs underneath to
23:19
see you eat your butt like what you
23:23
watched it you clearly did okay keep
23:25
going keep going no judgment no judgment
23:27
no judgments
23:41
candy not even a bit I couldn't believe
23:44
that perfect like these women were
23:47
dressed in businesses they walk in and
23:49
10 15 minutes later they change into
23:51
like Wonder Woman a cat suit outfit like
23:54
all kind of [ __ ] like it was just crazy
23:57
to me and then that's interesting the
24:01
grand finale was my friend she just
24:04
strapped out and just laid on this
24:06
contraption like this butt naked my
24:09
cousin said she looked like a glazed ham
24:10
and then a 100 she must be thick and my
24:14
100 women started like snacking on her
24:17
just eating her and and just like yeah
24:20
I was there you are lying
24:24
on everything
24:26
okay first of all I would have loved to
24:28
have seen all of me
24:32
Tristan telling me no candy loves you
24:35
I'd love to sing this but um I
24:38
personally have never experienced the
24:40
party like that now I have been you know
24:42
they have a place in Atlanta called
24:44
trapeze okay and it's uh quote-unquote
24:47
sex club and it's where people go you
24:50
have to have like sign up for a
24:51
membership and you go in at first it
24:52
looks like a regular Club but then you
24:54
go back through this room and then you
24:55
have to take off all your clothes you
24:57
just have on like a little negligee or
24:59
something very see-through
25:00
um but it's all coed like it it's it's
25:03
you know women and men that go in this
25:05
place and they don't have separate
25:07
locker rooms everybody has to take their
25:09
clothes off in the same locker room then
25:10
once you get past that door
25:12
everybody's butt naked wow everybody you
25:15
gotta take the negligee off well you it
25:18
has if it's real skimpy yeah okay but
25:22
there's no cameras no nothing in this
25:23
place right and um it's been a very long
25:26
time since I've been there of course
25:27
because I ain't got time for people to
25:29
be putting me on um just in case
25:31
somebody sneaks something in there but
25:33
it was so interesting to me that people
25:37
were so comfortable to just walk around
25:40
and then there were like these rooms
25:42
where people would be having sex right
25:43
next to each other touching onto the
25:45
person next to them you know like all
25:48
kind of stuff and like you I was more so
25:52
just of being a voyeur watching and I
25:55
was like oh this is interesting now I
25:59
did go back a second time
26:01
so the second time no and when I walked
26:05
in the back part I saw somebody I knew
26:09
and I immediately died
26:16
and I kept hiding and I can be
26:19
comfortable because I was like oh God
26:21
they're gonna tell somebody that I am
26:22
here right I'm getting out of here so
26:25
yeah I just never went back after that
26:27
but
26:28
um the first time I went it was like a
26:29
friend of mine had like a birthday and
26:30
she wanted everybody I can't find
26:31
everybody
26:32
so we all went and you know you should
26:35
never go to a place like that with a
26:36
group of friends that you really not
26:40
sure if you're truly comfortable being
26:42
yourself around them because everybody's
26:44
just sitting there looking at each other
26:45
like okay is anybody gonna try something
26:47
hey everybody's looking at each other
26:49
staring waiting for one of these right
26:51
person to try so you never nobody's in
26:53
the group is gonna really do anything
26:54
right but you watching everybody else
26:57
watching everybody else that's why Kim
26:59
was there but back to your friend
27:02
who is a love like sweetest girl in the
27:05
world she just wanted you to to
27:07
introduce her other side apparently so
27:10
now that you know her other side
27:12
what do you think it totally makes sense
27:14
for her okay like it makes sense for her
27:17
I'm just not that free yeah I'm not that
27:20
free maybe she was trying to free your
27:22
spirit she wanted me to open my mind she
27:25
told me I needed to be more open-minded
27:27
I needed
27:31
the fact that there were only women
27:33
there maybe she saw something in you
27:36
that she was trying to break out just
27:38
like okay okay you're gonna get her
27:40
knocked out
27:41
he gonna get that girl knocked out you
27:43
