0:00
ladies and
0:03
gentlemen this is what it's all about
0:05
this is the Cod right here this is the
0:07
DNA of
0:09
this of the most talked about culture in
0:13
modern times I'm talking about hip hop
0:16
and as it was developing there were a
0:18
few pillars who had no idea who they
0:20
would become and little did they know
0:23
they were Architects and they were
0:25
shaping and molding and and and building
0:28
and building and expanding and helping
0:30
this culture grow helping this movement
0:32
grow legs right and it went from being a
0:37
hobby in a dream um to being tangible
0:41
and reachable being a goal being a bar
0:44
and then it became an outlet a way up I
0:47
won't even say a way out a way up it
0:49
helped us all Ascend and I say I don't
0:52
say a way out because when I go home I
0:54
still go home in the same neighborhoods
0:57
that I grew up in and where I live in
0:58
Harlem I didn't want to leave I didn't
1:00
want to go out I just wanted to ascend
1:02
up and there were people when we were
1:04
coming up in the '90s that played
1:07
significant roles we all played a role
1:09
the DJs needed to be in sync with the
1:11
MC's needed to be in sync with the
1:13
dancers the graph writers you know all
1:16
of us needed to be in sync and
1:19
understand what our roles were what our
1:20
purpose was and it was important that
1:22
the DJs got better it was important that
1:25
the DJs expanded their ears and dug
1:27
deeper in the crates it was important
1:29
that the rappers learned how to write
1:31
better and make songs that have
1:33
viability to it and made them give them
1:35
substance and and and actually make them
1:37
business worthy all of these things were
1:40
important and there was a time in the
1:42
latter part of the 90s where the
1:45

5:56
see you did know I knew you knew that's
5:57
why I was going to work there but formed
5:59
a union y'all became a group M why um at
6:04
the time we were both solo artists I was
6:05
in a thre Man Group one of the guys
6:07
dropped out and I was looking for
6:08
somebody to replace him and a friend of
6:10
mine who went to high school uh with
6:12
words brought him into the fold and uh
6:14
we just connected and me and him just
6:16
always had that fire to keep rying so we
6:18
would go everywhere open mics ciphers
6:21
anything L's lounge and that's how it
6:23
all came about so LC's Lounge what for
6:26
those who don't know and no understand
6:28
why it was so important what is Lyric's
6:30
Lounge all right Lyric's Lounge is a
6:32
place for the unheard to be heard so it
6:35
was a community within itself where it
6:37
started out as just a room full of
6:39
people like this where we would just
6:40
rhyme and it grew and you know the word
6:42
started spreading artists and rappers
6:44
were just coming from any and everywhere
6:46
and it just grew into this thing where
6:48
it became a staple where qual will pop
6:51
up uh a very young and pregnant person
6:54
at the time R Digger would come through
6:56
Ry and she would get on stage and Ry
6:58
with a baby in her belly like killing it
7:00
and they didn't even know who Rod Digger
7:02
was at know Rod Digger was just yo
7:04
Short's nice and she's pregnant you know
7:07
I mean was dope and now we see that more
7:09
accepted today by women right yeah
7:11

7:14
pregnant the label wasn't going to mess
7:15
with it was like a Scarlet Letter right
7:18
and Rod Digger was performing pregnant
7:20
pregnant who are some of the other MC's
7:22

7:23

8:37
you and words end up putting out music
8:38
together yeah right put out an EP punch
8:41
of words EP independently do uh L speed
8:44
did pretty good okay L spe was an
8:45
independent distributor um and then when
8:48
did Lyric's
8:50
Lounge the theory of The Lyricist Lounge
8:53
become the TV show mhm all right so we
8:55
were making the Lyric's Lounge volume
8:57
one album he was in fire house Studios
9:01
um some downtime in between sessions a
9:04
bunch of rhyas in the room you know we
9:05
in the lounge chilling we was
9:07
freestyling words was acting like a
9:09
teacher and everybody else was acting
9:11
like students so what happened was
9:13
somebody actually was filming this at
9:14
the time we didn't know we just doing
9:16
what we normally do so um while doing
9:18
that somebody was filming like yo this
9:20
can be something like it looks like a TV
9:21
show they made something out of nothing
9:24
brought it to some people at vicom one
9:26
thing led to another we got a TV show so
9:29
they gave us like a pilot we put it
9:31
together it grew and then next thing you
9:33
know we got a couple of episodes and now
9:35
we on MTV which was the biggest youth
9:38
Network at the time doesn't hold the
9:41
same prowess when you say that today as
9:44
it did at that time it was you didn't
9:46
have social media YouTube all these
9:48
different outlets right right how did
9:50
that affect you you became visible you
9:52
became famous yeah famous uh it was it
9:55
was totally a new experience to me but
9:57
it was really dope cuz you know to be on
9:59
TV at that time that meant everything
10:01
you know what I mean like I'm on there
10:02
every day so walking down the street
10:04
people like yo I seen you on the show
10:05
and stuff like that that felt really
10:07
good yeah right um how how much of that
10:11
did you take advantage of um a lot I was
10:15
I was you know I was doing my thing I
10:17
was young what was your thing I mean
10:19
pause you know what I mean but no but it
10:21
was just well I always ask that question
10:23
about celebrity because I've had my own
10:25
Journeys with visibility being visible
10:28
for so long I know it can't always be
10:30
easy because you could be visible from
10:32
98 to 2002 and then you're no longer
10:36
visible right and then what happens you
10:38
know so for you when the spotlight uh
10:41
start start to lessen even though you
10:44
were still working did that have a
10:46
psychological effect on you nah not
10:48
really I'm I'm humble so like I just
10:50
keep pushing on to the next thing
10:51
whatever that next thing I got to do
10:53
whatever I did is what I done you know
10:55
what I mean on to the next thing
10:56

mean from Brooklyn always stayed in
12:19
Brooklyn and um he just took a like in
12:21
into my whole crew like like because we
12:23

12:24
always go out so he didn't really go out
12:26
and party like that if it wasn't with me
12:28

Chris man yeah um you know I used to
12:58
watch larc's Lounge when I was younger
13:00
and I really really enjoyy I actually
13:01
see the ties with LC's Lounge to W
13:03
wilding out I think that y'all are part
13:05
of that DNA the classroom in the
13:07
classroom exactly exactly um when I
13:10
think of Lyric's Lounge I think of
13:12
community I think of camaraderie I think
13:14
of
13:16
collaboration um was there ever a Time
13:18
behind the scenes where it was
13:20
competitive have you ever had to kick
13:22
people out of the L's Lounge to keep
13:24
that mission on track um not kick them
13:27
out but yeah we were very competitive
13:29
cuz we all thought we were the best
13:30
rappers right so whether even if it's
13:32
with my partner words like you know I'm
13:34
trying to out Ryme him he's trying to
13:35
out me you know what I mean and that's
13:37
the dude I'm in a group with then you
13:39
know Inc comes a most death or an M it's
13:41
like yo who's this dude then you come
13:43
across a black thought and it's like yo
13:45
this is real competitive like you your
13:47
pen game had to be sharp so no slouches
13:49
no room for slouches how do you keep
13:51
competition though from not getting to
13:54
overzealous from not going to a place of
13:57
disrespect because sometimes when you
13:58
have all of that fire energy in you you
14:02
might actually go into Attack Mode just
14:04
starting off in competition mode oh
14:06
always it's always Attack Mode you don't
14:08
cut it off oh yeah it's always Attack
14:10

who in what way uh just music business
17:13
uh even with my old group so when I
17:15
wrote that record that's kind of where
17:16
my mindset was at that time you know EMC
17:20
yeah okay yeah you know kind of like
17:22
some shady dillings and just just bad
17:24
blood between us at the time and whatnot
17:26
so when I wrote that that's where I was
17:28
at so okay not saying that it's not a
17:30
disc record but you know I'm just kind
17:31
of speaking my truth expressing your
17:33
truth right what do you do when you're
17:36
in business with people who were friends
17:38
first and then the business gets Shady
17:40
that's a hard approach that's that
17:42
happens with any that's going to happen
17:44
in any business dealing you do uh with
17:46
people but um the good part was uh I
17:49
work through it especially with words
17:50
cuz me and words wasn't cool for a
17:52
minute yeah so now we good you know what
17:53
I mean so we work through that but I ask
17:55
you this because this happens all the
17:57
time it's happened to me I got a a lot
18:00
of stories of folks that King Tech can
18:02
out work with prior to y'all even
18:03
knowing us right um that got Shady you
18:07
know and the dealings and the
18:09
relationship got Shady it made me angry
18:11
you know yeah some of it I didn't deal
18:13
with it properly as I matur I got better
18:15
at it when you say what happened with
18:18
you in words like how do you approach it
18:20
like and I say this cuz people going to
18:21
watch it who are dealing with Shady
18:23
friends and want to know how did how did
18:25
this happen how did you work it out well
18:27
if you're if your the the the foundation
18:30
is always going to be there I feel um
18:33
you got to mature and learn how to uh
18:35
take the good with the bad you know what
18:37
I'm saying like I was I was able to look
18:39
at the situation and not focus on the
18:40
negative but look at the positive and
18:42
the lesson that came out of that and
18:44
then you just got to move forward from
18:45
there and then did it damage your
18:47
friendship afterwards did it bruise it
18:49
or uh a little bruise but you know what
18:51
I mean you got to start over you know
18:52
what I mean like you got to relearn each
18:54
other cuz who I was then isn't the
18:56
person I am today Ace was in that group
18:58
yeah how did y relationship get affected
19:00
um Master a business wise it destroyed
19:04
the the business relationship but you
19:05
know I'm not g to say we friends but you
19:07
know I'll see him say what up keep it
19:09
moving you know what I mean I don't know
19:10
if I would do more business moving
19:11
forward but y'all were friends prior
19:13
yeah damn that's what happens wow right
19:18
but you wouldn't do but I wish him the
19:19
best you know he got a new album out too
19:20
shout out to him okay yeah Master a
19:22
that's Family Y y'all Y family so I'm
19:24
like talking to you about my other
19:25
brother yeah n goe no bad blood nobody
19:28
want to kill each other nothing like
19:30
that does it make you feel a little
19:32
hesitant about doing business with
19:34
friends in general or are you able to
19:36
keep that past separate from
19:38
opportunities in the present what it did
19:40
was make me moving forward I don't do
19:42
homeboy business if that makes
19:44
sense just like bu word and handshake
19:47
handshake like n you know this is the
19:49
business so we going to have to put a
19:51
lot of stuff in writing and we going to
19:52
be professional about it but you still
19:54
my homeboy but we got to do the business
19:56
first yeah that's fair I like that Kenny
19:59
you got a question man you've been
20:00
sitting here benefiting from all this
20:02

friends the paperwork just get the
20:09
paperwork right but uh no I'm I'm a big
20:11
fan of Hip Hop obviously and I know
