2:54
we've selling out a lot of a lot of arenas i know people been asking like where has Slim been for like at least I
3:00
say five or six years right so really um I really start putting a lot of um attention into the community
3:08
so um my cousin is uh Sheriff Reginald Scandre he's the first African-American
3:14
uh sheriff in Henry County that's where I stay in in Georgia and um with that
3:19
platform we've been able to touch a lot of situations he he he definitely uh he
3:26
ran on what I'm very close to is mental health awareness that's right so you know um we get together and big shout
3:33
out to all the people that stay out there from Shaq to DC Young Fly to Chris Tucker all of the uh pastors all the big
3:39
churches out there um we love to touch everybody you know what I'm saying so um
3:44
that's pretty much that one and just investing and stuff like that i want to talk cuz you got Aaron B&Bs he got you
3:51
got properties slim didn't talk to me about that part in that hours those conversations we had for hours he didn't
3:57
give me the Well well you know I was I was in the primitive you know that back then it was premature right you opened
4:02
clinics in Vegas and Dallas yes I sure did so like that one right there so
4:07
mental health awareness um a lot of people don't un well I haven't really disclosed it it was like the death of my
4:14
sister i lost her when I was at the age of 12 you know um she committed suicide
4:20
and um just knowing I'm sorry to hear that oh no it's okay it's okay uh the
4:26
good the the great part about it is that um you get a chance to touch young
4:31
people or people of all ages but I love to start when they're young and it's like you know you're not alone if you
4:37
have anything that's inside of you you you know you're just feeling away you know how we are when we were teenagers
4:42
we were trying to put thing we were trying to make things work asking a lot of questions and trying to put it together yeah and you know I I came I
4:49
come from a humble beginnings i lived on Cleveland Avenue that whole neighborhood and uh it was kind of hard like you know
4:56
it was kind of hard like trying to ask somebody you know it was just like why why why um we we have a lot of uh means
5:04
and ways for people to you know call to reach out yeah and you know what I'm saying we could uh definitely help you
5:09
you know I love it man what's the name of your Well how can people get in attached to your clinics okay so so um
5:17
in Vegas and uh Dallas it there's one of those places where you know um I work
5:23
with the government right so it's it's like a government situation or whatever and that it's so it I don't have like a
5:29
a name where you know because I didn't want it to be where um you know like
5:35
usually like when celebrities they they want to put their names to stuff you know what I'm saying and I've never been
5:40
about clout i've been more about just what it does right so like if you like
5:49
it's it's they're all in the system so if if it comes to us that they come to
5:54
us then we're our doors are wide open i just make sure that everything is well
5:59
done and everything is set and we have the proper and the you know what I'm saying you get the best premier help you
6:05
possibly can so it's it's not one of those things where you know Slim's clinic or anything like that no no it's
6:12
about what the results i like this slim is here man we going to talk about his new music momentarily man when I think
6:18
of you talking about this I think of the times I would see you at KEL or here in
6:23
LA at 92.3 to beat when King Tech and I was there and even on MTV yep coming up
6:29
to TRL that was crazy right we got that man oh my god that was crazy come on we
6:35
did that and and I often wondered like I would look at our faces because we were in all these new spaces and we were
6:42
reaching heights that people generation prior to us didn't have a TRL to go to right right they didn't have uh radio
6:50
didn't give as much access as it did when we became the mix show guys the music directors and the program
6:56
directors yes um but with that we were so young and handling celebrity is a
7:02
challenge in itself it's a daily challenge yeah it's a mind screw you know right right is it is like a mind
7:09
screw because it's it's crazy because it was like you know as we were trying to get to like where we're supposed to be
7:15
and you know we were knowing each other it was crazy of like seeing everybody propel and it was just like okay from a
7:23
person with me like I I came from humble beginnings i could not I couldn't listen to secular music i we couldn't afford uh
7:29
cable you know what I'm saying so it was like okay so when God put me in the in the position to where I was able to be
7:36
able to meet you and then all of us grow at the same time and then like when I see you elevating I'm like oh man I
7:42
can't wait to get to right here and then when I see you right there and I'm like okay that that's my door that's my
7:48
window you know what I'm saying to get in to like push what God has given us you know give us the ability to do so
7:54
it's just a blessing man what was your mindset like in the in the the prime 112 years like pandemonium
8:04
what was it like man for you personally like it's I man I I try to I I haven't been able to put it to words but
8:10
celebrity is us it's it's a blessing but it's it's more of the other side yeah
8:16
you know and with me it was different because uh a lot of people so if anybody
8:21
really knows me like the people that really know me they call me shy mhm it's a reason why my nickname is shy slim you
8:28
know what I'm saying professionally on the stage shy if you're is personal why because you know like I wasn't like the
8:35
popular person i I like I wasn't I wasn't said like shown like oh well he's
8:41
supposed to be the lead person or whatever it just happened that way you know you come in a group everybody knows
8:46
how to sing my situation was okay I have this voice that's very untraditional you
8:52
know what I'm saying and um and my mom who's an evangelist you know she she kind of like gave I always felt the way
8:58
because you know when you go to church everybody had the vibrto and you know and stuff like that and my voice didn't
9:04
sound like that and I remember my mom used to say hey you know it's good to just hear everybody and they sing the
9:10
song but when you sing it we'll always remember it so all you have to do is you know what I'm saying put confidence
9:17
behind it and you know what I'm saying and sing with that same ferocity you know what I'm saying she would give me scriptures and I would always hold on to
9:23
them so so when you all saw me as 112 you know what I'm saying like if you notice I didn't do too much talking you
9:29
didn't mhm you know what I'm saying and because a lot and a lot of it I was a more of an introvert than anything you know what I'm saying so um I guess
9:36
people kind of thought "Oh that was cool that was the mystique side or whatever." But But that protected you in a way then
9:42
yes it did yes it did it kept me out of a whole bunch of stuff yeah but but it was a whole bunch of stuff around said
9:49
there was a whole bunch of stuff around oh my god that and prayer warriors good Lord mercy yeah no it's interesting that
9:55
you bring that up Slim because for better or for worse there will be a legacy now associated with Bad Boy right
10:02
but you seem to be okay we don't all know your business but I I'm I'm happy
10:08
for you my spirit is happy for you when you talk about property and ownership and then giving back to the community
10:13
you mentioned prayer warriors her mom there was an anointing on your life obviously that sometimes you may not
10:20
even have recognized that's crazy um I want to know what you would contribute that to and if there's anything that you
10:27
would have done different you know now that you can step back and actually look at the legacy of Bad Boy for better or
10:34
worse is there anything you would have done different not I don't have any regrets on that situation because you
10:39
know for better for worse I tried to do whatever I did for like well I always
10:47
thought of the legacy you know what I'm saying and you know and so in that sense it was just like okay anything personal
10:53
whatever think back then thank god you know we didn't have like social media so
10:59
so I'm not going to tell on myself you know what I'm saying like I said all I'm going to let y'all know is like Um I
11:06
came from the same neighborhood as Young Thug okay you know what I'm saying i know a lot of his family members you know Young Thug's family members did you
11:12
watch him grow up yeah yeah i I didn't see Young Young Thug stayed in in Jonesboro South so I was around the
11:18
corner you know what I'm saying but you know the older ones Yeah you know what I'm saying and uh but it's same
11:23
neighborhood or whatever so a lot of a lot of things that you know probably
11:28
would have been highlighted you know because at at that time you know um we were put making out multi-platinum
11:35
singles and I would still stay in the hood okay so you know what I'm saying so just imagine that people probably would
11:41
have made a deal out of that like well if he's selling all those records why is he still living here i just saw him walk
11:46
in the corner liquor store he bought Doritos right Doritos you went right to your favorite i was blessed that that my
11:53
community embraced not just me but all of us you know like uh Mike all of us we stayed there and uh so me and Mike you
12:00
know we always stay humble we could go anywhere there and we had no problem they just protected us you mentioned being shy though and not really speaking
12:07
up do you regret possibly maybe speak maybe wanting to speak up more or you
12:12
just kind of let things ride because that can sometimes you know especially being in a group yeah now
12:20
okay okay i understand that all right you got to say got you all right you
12:26
said you answered the question by saying it but but the good thing about that is I think that God like God makes no
12:32
mistakes right so at the end of the day is like wherever I'm supposed to be I'm
12:38
fully like I'm comfortable in my skin you know what I'm saying so um the great
12:44
thing about it is that I I don't believe in and I I tell all the young people that's around me don't ever put all your
12:50
eggs in one basket you know what I'm saying you know trust no man trust God
12:55
amen you know what I'm saying yes like and don't be disappointed if man which is not perfect don't do exactly what you
13:02
want him to do because guess what only perfect person is God right so that you know I have a lot of grace in my heart
13:09
yeah and uh I I I'm very comfortable in the position you know uh bad boy situation man like we were we were
13:17
signed we were signed to them very unfortunate what we're hearing that's not where what our what we you know
13:23
whatever but he definitely put us in a position to do great things left there in 2003 went to Death Jam that's right
13:31
kept on selling platinum records you know what I'm saying chose our own place well the guys made their own decisions
13:38
and you know what I'm saying got back together made a couple of more uh top 10 records did what they felt like we was
13:44
supposed to do slim is here doing my thing you better work Slim come on baby slim did him
13:51
shai got by man so let's just So let's So even
13:57
though it's a 30-year reunion let me just get these out the way okay 30-year anniversary there will be no 30-year
14:03
reunion okay a lot of people want to see the verses of Jagged Edge and and 112
14:08
but that's already happened yeah but they want to see it run back that's not going to happen again okay great man
14:15
because So because my thing is this you know what I'm saying the
14:20
I always say like this see one thing about legacies your hits are your hits your the amount of uh things 112 has
14:28
accomplished is what it is you know what I'm saying it's uncomparable okay and you know what I'm
14:35
saying and that why I said like like I don't have to hold a mic whatever it's very simple that happened in co so
14:41
really I think that was more potent i'mma play the record you play the
14:46
record you know where they were positioned 112 knows that we have uh what 15 top 10 records you know what I'm
14:54
saying our accolades are our accolades mhm and if you do that
14:59
I mean you also at the end of the day who who uh that verse is who who um who
15:04
judged it um Billboard okay right billboard Revolt and it was somebody but
15:12
you know the charts are there you know what I'm saying and you know what I'm saying slim i like this man speak for itself slim speaks for itself
15:19
sound like a teacher we gonna get to this new music in a second but Tracy Tracy's had this dream tracy you want to
15:24
talk to him about it i I have to admit it Slim because when you walked in I said "You have been really a running
15:31
soundtrack for many many years of my life." Wow and particularly when it comes to my adolescence in 2001 and I
15:38
revisited 2001 just a couple weeks ago when my good friend Cece wait the way
15:44
she celebrated her birthday was by having an early 2000's party and everyone had to come yeah with the
15:50
specific garb you know and all the slang of that time and then one of the joints

17:30
your kids start realizing who you are oh yeah right that's true so I uh now I'm
17:36
blessed even though I know people thought I was crazy i had my kids when I was young right so the great thing about
17:41
having kids when you were young is that you know they get a chance to hang with you now yeah it's still cool you know
17:47
what I'm saying i kind of show them you know I know they going to try to rob me with my clothes but that's okay see they
17:52

[Music] slim is here man i love it man man man that's beautiful i You know a lot of
18:23
people when they come up in here they don't they don't party to their own songs sometime like Slim look like man
18:30
you smile when you hear it feels good right it feels so good it's like getting the flowers and um like just knowing
18:37
like where it was like where we were at that particular time if anybody like I I
18:43
would love to just I wish I could just like be like Michael J fox Back to the Future and put the younger kids back and
18:49
like how we used to party and the reason why the song was like that and you know it is one of the attributes with like
18:56
112 it was like these records you know I know most people they have the writers
19:02
the the labels present the records to them and then they have to sing it whatever with us we were presenting
19:08
records to the label you know what I'm saying so like one of the situations that went viral when we showed Diddy the
19:16
like anywhere we we re-recorded did everything actually we tried to give it
19:21
to Usher uhhuh really they didn't understand its cool you know what I'm saying but we were like "All right well
19:26
we'll put it out ourselves." Uhhuh once we played it to D and the Bad Boy the
19:32
whole whatever and they they were you know you saw Pop going crazy right
19:37
well you know it was just like it like you re you remember those that energy
19:43
and remember when people were like questioning us and saying "Oh man you
19:48
think that'll be it oh can you do it or whatever?" And now 30 years later come
19:55
on bro you know what I'm saying yeah and it sound as good as it did 30 years ago smile man
20:02
and when I think about that I think about 30 years ago when you think of Outcast yes think of Dungeon Family man
20:10
you know and we have a lot of people in our crew you know what I'm saying so uh big shout out to our boy DJ Lucky
20:16
Calhoun he's part of the cow you know what I'm saying and um you know um just
20:21
watching Outcast you know uh Big Brothers you know what I'm saying andre 3000 and Big Boy uh getting inducted
20:27
into the Hall of Fame Rock Hall of Fame yeah and and what's crazy about that is
20:32
you know that's why I looked over at Mike and said "Hm well they're not really together." Yeah and they were
20:39
inducted strictly because of their legacy and what they brought to the
20:44
music industry then don't talk to us about 112 and what we can't be able to
20:49
do yeah cuz we just saw Outcast we just saw Outcast and they were the reason they were our door our door opening like
20:56
when we were doing talent shows and stuff like that we have to give all the accolades to Outcast to TLC to our boy
21:03
Silk that they were our boys to me you know what I'm saying and you know if if y'all know the culture which everybody's
21:10
coming at me about Biopic of you know what I'm saying with 112 and I'm about to entertain that you know what I'm
21:15
saying but some stuff that's I'm chilling back a little bit because we have some chapters that still need to be
21:21
written but uh yeah it's it's one of those things where you know you knew the talent show it was the talent show days
21:28
yeah our talent shows were like real shows it was like summer jams summer
21:33
jams you know what I'm saying that's how I know Tip before you know what I'm saying y'all you know what was tip like back then escape was in middle school
21:40
big shout out to Tiny they were in middle school wow yeah like what they were middle school or Yeah in middle
21:47
middle school high school yeah you know what I'm saying chile went to Maze like you know what I'm saying c it was
21:52
certain people that went to high schools we knew you knew they were going to be you know what I'm saying like Rashida
21:58
she was in a group called the Capers you know what I'm saying we watched them was three of them and you know you could tell they were already stars you know
22:05
what I'm saying so we we were called Forte and everybody knew that you know
22:10
what I'm saying for forte meant forever on route to excellence right and everybody tell you in Atlanta we never
22:17
lost a tlet show you know what I'm saying so it was one of those things and um like if you from Atlanta you know
22:23
that situation so our whole thing with 112
22:29
yes you have to also know the whole culture and what what was going on at
22:34
the times and the reason why you know it felt so good to go to New York and then
22:39
to embrace that whole culture and then even for myself like when I met you you know what I'm saying people thought I
22:46
was really from the Bay Area because I have literally like extended families and real friendships and stuff e40 has
22:53
said he was like "Man you might as well be friends here man we thought you was from the Bay bro thought you move moved out you left us for Atlanta."
23:01
Wow yeah man wow man slim is hanging out with us he got a new song new single Somebody to Love it's going to be
23:08

25:14
everybody know I'm a hardcore Raiders fan so you know what I'm saying yeah like I know it's there in Vegas but you know what I'm saying oakland you can
25:20
still cut me it's black and silver all day so but see I respect the fact that you acknowledge I know I know it's there
25:27
in Vegas because you know true Oakland people we don't we ain't we ain't happy
25:32
with the Vegas movies I get it man so it's took money out the community man
25:37
you know they you know they sold us out man you know but you know I'm still rocking with the Raiders the
25:43
organization has asked me to come to Vegas I've yet to go to a Vegas game but I used to open up the the Oakland games
25:48
me big Vine oh yeah come on now get on the mic talk to Big Vine he you know Vine always
25:54
supports you bro off off the porch off the [ __ ] but yeah I appreciate that tracy go ahead and get in there before
26:00
it's funny because Oh don't guess that shut up bro so what you was talking about um as a young and how you weren't
26:07
able to listen to secular music and it's like hilarious to me that you get older
26:12
and you have music that is playing in the background of a lot of secular activity
26:17
oh my god yeah people making babies for your voice man yeah that's that's a part of the brand you want to talk about the
26:23
brand what what type of stories have you heard from fans oh my god so this
26:29
happens all the time and mostly it's the men it's all the kings out there man you know what I'm saying and it's not even a
26:35
race you know like that's why it's so crazy of like um how far our music has touched
26:42
a lot of people in different cultures and different situations like so I was at a I was at a grocery store right just
26:47
chilling and uh trying to get stuff together this dude walk up to me and say "Yo yo
26:55
you owe me child man i need child support man i need help with child support." I said "Wait wait wait wait
27:01
wait wait wait i already know where this is going." You know what I'm saying like he's like "Man I got all these kids come
27:07
here sir." And this one dude he had like five he had five kids and what was wild
27:12
was each one of them were as old as each album
27:18
[Laughter] what hey bro
27:25
bro hey hey i get it man i get it but you know what I'm saying you know your stuff that M was probably right there on
27:32
that dresser but you know you didn't i said "Okay tell me something good." He said "You know we we got married." I
27:37
said "Okay that's okay okay thank you i know we got something with that all right that's greatless ended in marriage
27:44
because I feel like you as a solo artist and then with the legacy of 112 y'all
27:49
always made music for love making and R&B has shifted where there's an emphasis in my opinion on like Fu Kai Ng
27:57
you know what I mean and those are two different approaches to the bedroom yeah how important is it that we have the
28:04
music that is the catalyst for love making you know what what's crazy about
28:10
like with music alto together you know what I'm saying music is like it's like the voice where you you know everybody
28:17
don't have to speak the same language but music has this one universal voice right and the great thing about us is
28:23
like even if if what's going on in the world today is not reflective of what
28:29
the music is sometimes people use music as like a vacation spot so you put
28:35
yourself in the bubble so every time you like I'm writing a song or like you're trying to like put together an album or
28:42
whatever we're always thinking in the as a concept as this person might be having a crazy day they might be going through
28:49
all kind of life situations or whatever but for however long this single is or
28:54
that album you can put a bubble around yourself you can just press play and it
28:59
just make for that one time forget about all the problems forget about all the stuff even if we write a song about
29:06
problems we always talk about a solution you know what I'm saying so that being
29:11
said you know music definitely has to reflect that like you know what I'm saying and I'm talking to all the future
29:18
writers and all the younger people that probably listen to my voice right now hey man it's easy to talk about what's
29:24
going on and trying to just you know reflect what's going on what you see mhm
29:30
sometimes you know to be a trend setter and to be a leader you you kind of want
29:35
to guide it to where you want where you want to see it you know what I'm saying so if I'm tripping with my girl or
29:42
whatever I'm not trying to trip with my queen forever i'm trying to get to that solution so I'm going to write that song
29:48
with a solution in mind so for all the guys out there yes we do it for the ladies but we do it for the players that
29:54
don't want to do too much talking you just press the press play and then it just answer the problem so all the
30:02
writers all the producers out there I know it's very easy you know what I'm saying all the ANR say they look at
30:07
their joint say do a record like this do a record no no no no be a trend setter
30:13
you know what I'm saying when you do trends setters that create errors 112 we're error you won't forget us yeah 96
30:20
to two oh past 2008 2009 that's why I put Slim 112 on my name yes you know
30:26
what I'm saying uhhuh that's why I consider goats if you can stand around for over a decade that's a goat at a
30:33
premier not stand around but actually sustain it sustain it and on a pre premier level you can always look on the
30:40
chart oh it in the top one they got a number one top 10 or something like that for those many that's a goat to me you
30:46
know what I'm saying so wow man yo man listen be a goat i can't wait till this next album come out i'mma find me
