3:30

3:33
shaggy is saying is true
3:34
i had a plan when we formulated this

3:40
somebody to make me look good so i gotta
3:42

3:52
um
3:53

3:56
you guys are still the go-to and i
3:58
applaud you all thank you
4:00
thank you jackie who are the top two
4:02
women in your life
4:04
that keep you steady that make you look
4:05
good oh
4:07
wow my wife i have a lot because i also
4:09
have three daughters
4:11
and i have twin girls and and i have a
4:14
16 year old that i'm trying to maneuver
4:15
through
4:16
her changes and her moods and her
4:20
puberty and all of this and it is it has
4:23
been such
4:24
uh an eye opener and a ride and
4:28
um because you know we weren't raised we
4:31
were dragged up
4:32
yeah that's real that's real
4:35
i mean you're in the hood you're dragged
4:37
up you're not ready
4:39
[Music]
4:40
now that my daughters are here and i
4:42
have the meat i can't blame my parents
4:44
for it because
4:45
they didn't have the means like i do
4:46
right now and just to have the means to
4:49
be
4:49
in a union and have a support unit from
4:53
both parents and there's grandmothers
4:56
and there's family and then
4:57
if the dynamics change then when it was
5:00
just me and my mom and this one bedroom
5:02
[ __ ]
5:02
and and you know you know i just said no
5:05
that ain't happening [ __ ] off
5:09
it's a different dynamic that i got to
5:10
go through right now and it's such a
5:12
learning process you know yeah
5:13
uh you know last night i was going
5:15
through a whole you know we're at our
5:17
home in miami and
5:18
you know our daughters are in at the
5:20
home in jamaica and so there is
5:22
a little bit of an altercation going
5:23
back and forth uh that was kind of
5:26
sensitive
5:27
with with my 16 year old and and it was
5:29
just it really took me to
5:31
a bit of a ride for you to realize that
5:33
okay you got to kind of step back
5:35
and look at the situation and approach
5:38
it in a whole different way and it's
5:39
such a learning process
5:41
so i would say really all the woman i
5:43
was raised by a woman i was raised i'm a
5:44
single parent
5:45
um from a single parent family my mother
5:48
my grandmother was really who raised me
5:50
a lot so i haven't had a lot of strong
5:53
um
5:53
male uh role models in my life
5:57
at all you know it's mainly been women
6:00
it's only been women
6:01
do you feel how do you feel um
6:04
not having those male figures by the way
6:06
we're talking with shaggy and i'm
6:07
opening up the phone lines
6:10
888-742-3345 and we got a big
6:12
announcement we're going to make
6:13
pertaining to shaggy
6:14
but you know i have these conversations
6:16
with people that are close to me that
6:18
we may not have had those role models
6:20
those male role models
6:22
those older male role models not the
6:24
ones that's on the
6:25
in the neighborhood that we came up with
6:26
that's two or three years older
6:28
to kind of show us and lay out the how
6:30
to love how to be in a
6:33
loving relationship how to be the head
6:35
of a household
6:36
how to be all of these gender roles that
6:39
men typically
6:40
pick up we weren't being taught all of
6:43
that at the same we had coaches
6:45
a grandfather who was there for us but
6:48
nobody immediately in the house
6:50
how did you make up for that man was it
6:52
just trial and error
6:53
uh did you ever feel like you you was
6:56
lacking in that area
6:59
well you know i i never felt i was
7:00
lacking so much until i got
7:02
older and realized i was lacking to be
7:05
honest with you because my
7:06
my you know i had all these these male
7:09
role models were gangsters
7:10
you know i mean i came to flatbush in
7:13
the 80s it was a crack era you know all
7:15
my uncles were
7:16
we're all hustlers you know i mean all
7:18
my you know they're good gangsters
7:20
i was just raised by a bunch of people
7:21
who that that was their thing
7:23
you know i'm saying so you it was
7:26
unspoken love
7:27
they had love for me and i mean they
7:28
checked for me they would ride for me
7:30
you know i mean but it wasn't that sit
7:32
down and have that pep talk or
7:34
you know you know i never got hooks
7:39
was not in my household and i mean
7:41
growing up but
7:42
from you know my grandma gave me hugs
7:44
apart from that that's it
7:46
you know and every male figure that i
7:47
have in my life where you know all my
7:50
males you know they got like you know
7:52
six seven baby mamas and you know and
7:54
you know i mean there's it's the rude
7:56
boy jamaican uncles and
7:58
you know i mean they're just real rough
8:00
characters you know i mean you can't
8:02
talk to them no woman could talk to them
8:04
and talk talk to them or raise their
8:05
voice at them
8:06
you know i'm seeing i've seen i've seen
8:08
quite a few of them that knocked down
8:10
you know i'm saying and uh but it was so
8:13
great is that i found myself in a
8:14
position that i could actually change
8:16
the cycle of [ __ ] there you go
8:17
and um and and uh you know i met a
8:21
really
8:21
beautiful woman that i just celebrated
8:24
my anniversary last month
8:25
congratulations rebecca i see you queen
8:28
wow
8:28
how many years yeah and yeah and we have
8:32
lasted you know for it's like
8:34
23 years now and we're mad for about
8:37
seven
8:38
and um and it's always a learning curve
8:41
with me or her and you know she's got a
8:43
lot of patience because i'm i'm
8:44
like i said i'm dragged up you know i
8:46
mean so my way to deal with deal with
8:48
the situation is like okay i'm shut my
8:49
phone off and [ __ ] off
8:51
don't talk to me and that's it and and
8:53
i'm you know and i
8:54
i got the news from school on my own and
8:56
she's always the one that comes back in
8:57
and have
8:58
a different conversation and and and
9:01
bring me back into reality and it's like
9:03
yo dude what the [ __ ] are you doing

9:25
oh my gosh all them hits that wasn't him
9:28
that was rebecca trust me

9:46
it is it is about you know so the first
9:48
line says so amazing how this world was
9:50

9:50
i wonder if god is a woman because
9:52
everything about the earth
9:54

9:56

9:57
[Laughter]
10:00
not even with appeal

14:44
cool j and the two trill show
14:46
you know bun b is going to talk to us
14:48
about like southern hip-hop
14:49
especially coming from texas that we
14:52
never really knew
14:53
it's always those stories right shaggy i
14:55
could tell you stuff about the bay
14:56
in la artists that nobody talks about
14:59
anymore
15:00
but that were important to the growth of
15:02
the cult music culture in those regions
15:04
i'm hoping i know with shaggy's yard
15:06
that we gonna hear
15:08
uh from artists and hear about stories
15:11
that
15:12
we don't we're not really privy to is
15:14
that correct are there some people you
15:15
want to bring to the forefront that the
15:17
world don't know like you feel they
15:18
should
15:20
well you know it's it's it's a platform
15:22
that we talk about
15:23
we do talk about um you know some
15:27
some and give you some history of some
15:28
of the music that we do play you know
15:30
but we use the platform because you know
15:31
flyer has a is a really solid station
15:34
uh sean a channel and and you know we
15:37
really just
15:38
open people's minds to all these
15:39
different styles of music and
15:41
and give back stories on a lot of it and
15:43
and when you hear what's going on and
15:45
how music has been shaped today and know
15:47
that it really came
15:48
a lot of it came from dancehall and
15:50
reggae you know i mean when you look at
15:53
reggaeton you know there's even the
15:54
crazy story this guy's called carla
15:56
forgot his last name
15:58
uh this guy was a vp nobody talks about
16:00
this guy
16:02
um this is a guy that uh used to work at
16:05
vp he was the one that started to
16:07
produce
16:08
and put out records with um with el
16:10
henro
16:11
el general of course was the first um
16:14
person that actually started to do what
16:15
we know now as reggae
16:17
reggaeton and what carl did he
16:21
he did old school dancehall records
16:24
uh with l general el herrera in in
16:27
in spanish so he'll take shaba rank's
16:29
record and then one of shabaran's record
16:31
he did was a song called then bao
16:32
and that's why the beat of of reggaeton
16:35
that
16:36
that he normally uses called dembo which
16:38
is from that
16:39
but what a lot of people didn't know
16:40
that carl actually named the genre
16:43
and he called it reggaeton
16:46
yes a lot of people called used to be at
16:49
vp records
16:50
and it he named it it was called spanish
16:53
reggie when they were doing it first and
16:55
he came up with a whole name for it
16:56
called reggaeton
16:58
and when spanish people called where
16:59
they called reggaeton they called it a
17:00
guitar
17:01
and that's how it ended up being
17:02
reggaeton a little bit of knowledge for
17:04
you there right
17:05
come on see what you're doing right
17:06
there jackie you're dropping the gym
17:08
you better sell yourself come on you saw
17:11
what he did right there
17:12
i did shaggy i'm curious because you
17:15
know
17:16
in hip-hop you've heard it as much as me
17:18
and sway have
17:19
um i would say like in the last 10 years
17:23
a lot of people will comment about them
17:25
like younger generations and say oh
17:27
hip-hop is dead
17:29
um you know t-pain the other day was
17:31
saying guys we got to stop making songs
17:33
that all sound alike
17:34
does reggae and dancehall um
17:38
get that same criticism at all do you
17:40
see
17:41
like maybe different generations who
17:43
kind of look
17:44
down or aren't as happy with this
17:46
generation of new artists and reggae
17:48
and dancehall there is a difference
17:51
i hear what t-pain is saying and if i'm
17:53
listening to it
17:55
as a person that's an outside person
17:57
because i am not
17:58
deep into hip-hop as a t-pain is you
18:01
know
18:02
i would say okay this sounds like this
18:04
as a music person it sounds like this
18:06
and you they'll sound a bit
18:07
a lot because it becomes a trend after a
18:10
while you know everybody
18:11
everybody cookie cuts you know that's
18:13
how the game is you know i mean
18:15
the difference with with this situation
18:17
is that
18:18
t-pain cannot sit there and argue the
18:21
numbers these guys are doing incredible
18:23
numbers
18:24
um even though it's the same thing you
18:26
know there's an audience out there
18:27
that's eating it up
18:29
and the numbers you're having a lot of
18:31
these rappers are making
18:32
so much money compared to what
18:36
what rappers back then used to make you
18:38
know i mean who are being very
18:40
um diverse and and very creative and
18:43
have these different styles and
18:45
different flows and whatnot
18:46
but these guys are making a ton of money
18:48
so there is an audience and the culture
18:50
is moving and for the first time in my
18:53
lifetime i've seen
18:54
the hip hop culture becomes the main um
18:58
format right back then it was rock or it
19:01
was popped or it was something else
19:03
so you can't argue that in dancehall now
19:06
the numbers just don't match up we're
19:08
still six percent of
19:10
the market share uh you know in the 80s
19:13
uh 80s and 90s dan saller actually is
19:15
still
19:16
actually doing better numbers than
19:17
current dance all right so
19:19
that's the difference so for me if if
19:21
the new sound was making numbers
19:24
i'd be like hey let's jump on this wagon
19:26
i'd be you know it i'd have somebody
19:28
like
19:29
t-pain screaming at me
19:35
but if the numbers aren't matching up
19:36
then we'll have a different conversation
19:38
because what it does now it doesn't give
19:40
us a seat at the table
19:42
it doesn't have me to come in and have a
19:44
for me to sit down and have a
19:45
conversation
19:46
with scott about a show or a channel
19:50
you know on cirrus you know i mean i'd
19:52
have to do it on the strength of shaggy
19:54
not on the strength of my channel did
19:56
you get what i mean
19:58
so you you know i'm saying if if ll goes
20:01
in and say hey i wanted to rock the
20:03
bells
20:03
you know i mean there's no way scott is
20:05
gonna uh uh is gonna say
20:06
no because you're talking about hip-hop
20:09
that's got the most listenership got the
20:11
most downloads got the most the biggest
20:12
numbers
20:13
it was easy for you to give them um a
20:16
channel to rock the bells
20:17
do you get what i'm saying shady 45 is
20:20
is doing well because they're in genre
20:22
that's the leading genre
20:23
the numbers are adding up with that's
20:25
all it's a harder conversation to have
20:28
you know i'm saying it's a hard
20:29
conversation to deal with because when
20:31
you look at the numbers
20:32
we're struggling but yet still every
20:34
music comes from it
20:35
you know i mean i've never made
20:36
reggaeton which is a which is a billion
20:39
dollar
20:39
industry that started out of dancehall
20:41
and i was right there when it was
20:42
happening
20:43
i'm you're looking at afrobeat which is
20:45
uh influenced by dancehall because i was
20:47
in africa when dancehall was the main
20:49
music and
20:49
it's a spin-off of that you know i mean
20:51
you're looking at hip-hop when
20:53
her came over here and and and created
20:56
toasting over
20:57
all the songs which came from that whole
20:59
vibe you look in a trap right now which
21:01
is king tubbies that used to do dub
21:03
you know that's all trap is it's just
21:05
it's just a hybrid of dub
21:07
you know what i'm saying so when when
21:09
when it comes there's so much thing when
21:11
you look at katy perry or you look at
21:13
rihanna or you look at um dosiacat right
21:16
now and how she dressing now that she
21:18
acts that's grace jones that's grace
21:20
jones
21:21
you know what i'm saying yes so so
21:25
so to have a genre like this that don't
21:28
have
21:28
numbers i'm like okay we need to step
21:30
our game up we need to be part of the
21:31
competition
21:32
we be the be we need to we need to be in
21:35
the game
21:35
you know and i'm just i'm at a place in
21:37
my lifetime where you see me being so
21:39
active in the genre because of the fact
21:42
that i want to see the genre live
21:44
because it's been really really good to
21:46
me and my family i've done
21:47
very well you know i'm saying i'm and
21:50
you know so that's why we bring people
21:51
like spice and we have goddamn day
21:53
that's doing well right now and sean
21:54
paul and i have teamed up and
21:56
because we realized we got to do
21:58
something and get up so you know and big
22:00
up to
22:01
to seriously get to everybody who has
22:03
been playing anything that's called
22:04
dancehall and reagan
22:05
and trying to help us on the platform
22:07
and that's where my head is
22:08
i love it man shaggy ladies and
22:10
gentlemen i'm glad you uh
22:12
you're the one person i one out of the
22:14
