on my platforms of our platforms as long
0:04
as we got platforms. Matter of fact, the
0:06
first time we talked, we talked way back
0:08
in the '90s on the world-famous Wake Up
0:10
Show with my talk partner King Tech and
0:12
DJ Revolution.
0:14
And I love telling the story at the time
0:16
J Dilla didn't join you guys, which
0:18
y'all came up to the show and and we
0:20
were just happy to have y'all cuz we had
0:21
supported that first album, Fantastic.
0:25
Yes.
0:25
So
0:27
immensely we understood that there was
0:29
something coming out of Detroit that was
0:31
different that would be legendary. And
0:33
that was the sound that you guys created
0:36
as Slum Village though all those early
0:38
albums, Fantastic Vol. 2, all of those
0:41
different things, Trinity album, all all
0:44
of all of the the the pillars that you
0:46
guys laid
0:48
back in the '19 what, '96, '97
0:52
to this day is still celebrated and
0:55
can't really be duplicated or imitated.
0:58
Y'all sound has been like at the core of
1:00
a lot of people's inspiration. I'm so
1:03
happy that you guys are continuing to
1:05
make music.
1:06
I'm so happy to have you back on the
1:08
show with the new single Just Like You.
1:09
We just played that right there. And I'm
1:11
just trying to find out what these
1:12
fellows are doing. Have they after about
1:14
two decades of knowing people as
1:16
artists, they're no longer artists.
1:17
These are homies who do art. There we
1:19
go.
1:20
You know what I mean? I want to welcome
1:21
Young RJ and T3 from Slum Village are
1:24
here.
1:27
Welcome. Welcome.
1:29
That's a welcome right there. Come on,
1:30
man.
1:31
a welcome. Man, I was happy, man. My man
1:33
Patrick Porter told me that you guys
1:35
had this song featuring Larry June.
1:38
You know, from the Bay Area. And it just
1:40
made me think of how connected Slum
1:42
Village has always been with the Bay
1:44
Area.
1:45
T3, speak to that relationship, man.
1:47
you know, we always kept it
1:49
You know, when we grew up in Detroit and
1:52
on hip-hop period, we we was like we was
1:55
like in the middle. So, we was listening
1:56
to N.W.A. while we was listening to Dre.
2:00
And and and not N.W.A. and Dre, but
2:02
N.W.A. while we was listening to A Tribe
2:04
Called Quest. So, we listened to all all
2:07
of it. So, we was fans of both. So, we
2:09
weren't it wasn't no East or West for
2:10
us. It was just music. Right. So,
2:14
anybody that was dope. So, when we got a
2:15
chance to work with Kurupt, you know,
2:17
from the West and he was on our on our
2:19
first records,
2:20
you know, you know, it was a it was a
2:22
pleasure. So, you know, we just love
2:24
music as a whole, man. So, you know,
2:26
that's that's that's what it is with
2:27
Slum Village. Slum Village is
2:28
interesting to me. Von, maybe you could
2:30
jump in on this, too, because
2:33
is there a Detroit past, you know,
2:35
Motown sound and what Berry Gordy and
2:38
those folks were able to do those
2:39
legendary juggernauts? When it comes to
2:41
Detroit rap, is there a Detroit sound?
2:44
This is Big Von right here that you can
2:46
identify? There is a sound, but I wanted
2:48
to ask the brothers, when did y'all see
2:50
the change go from
2:53
y'alls
2:54
punchlines and flow to like this new I
2:57
don't know the exact word. I don't want
2:58
to call it a run-on sentence. Oh, yeah.
3:00
I like that's good. THAT'S A GOOD
3:06
SO, GIVE ME EXAMPLE WHO DO THE PUNCHLINE
3:08
FLOW and who does the run-on sentence
3:09
flow?
3:10
So, when I think of like Detroit, I
3:12
think about definitely I think about
3:14
Royce.
3:15
And then I think of y'all brothers. And
3:16
then the newer brothers like Tee
3:18
Grizzley and everybody. I was always
3:20
wondering like where did they get that
3:22
from? Cuz if like, you know, I guess the
3:24
Bay Area
3:25
Yeah, Big Sean do it, too. Yeah. But
3:27
where did it come from? Like who was the
3:28
first like like then you noticed it cuz
3:30
you there. You've been rapping the whole
3:31
time. When did you notice like, yo, who
3:33
took the periods OUT THE SENTENCE?
3:42
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT? I DID
3:43
NOTICE IT. AND at first, I was like I
3:46
was just like, you know, cuz our things
3:48
was our sound was about pocket. So, we
3:50
like pocket, we like, you know, in the
3:52
cut. But at first, it threw me off like
3:54
anybody. But then after a while, I was
3:56
like, wait a minute. That's kind of a
3:58
sound. You know what I'm saying? And
3:59
then I would start messing with I think
4:02
the first person I heard do it was was
4:03
Sean. I got to say it was Sean. It was
4:05
Big Sean first, right? First person I
4:07
heard. Yeah, it would be Sean's camp. I
4:09
heard first person I heard was Early
4:11
Mac. And I was like, yo,
4:13
cuz we got to like shift your vocals
4:15
back. Like you can
4:20
off count, right? I was like, what's
4:22
going on? He was like, I don't know.
4:24
You know what I'm saying? Like the
4:25
whoever replied that I don't know. He
4:27
said I don't know. Somebody has that
4:29
mixed the song has shifted his vocals
4:31
for it. This is like Hall of Fame era.
4:32
Right. And then he rock he just left it.
4:35
You know what I'm saying? And then from
4:37
there,
4:38
I just started hearing people being
4:40
ahead of the beat. So, I don't know.
4:42
It's definitely in that Sean camp though
4:45
for me that I heard.
4:46
Big Sean, that's interesting, man.
4:48
That's some interesting [ __ ] right
4:49
there, man. You got to learn about it.
4:50
You hear sometimes you'll be like, wait
4:53
a minute. Hold on, brother. Slow down.
4:54
Yeah.
4:58
Cuz you know all the years we've been
4:59
listening to music, we've been trying to
5:00
be on the pocket, in there, jumping in
5:02
and out. And when I see them do the run,
5:04
I'm like, brother, breathe.
5:09
So, where does Danny Brown fit in? Danny
5:12
Brown Danny Brown is a
5:15
I'mma call him the Detroit ODB.
5:18
Okay. You know what I'm saying?
5:20
As far as the original style that ain't
5:23
nobody heard at the time. You know what
5:25
I'm saying? Unique voice. All right.
5:27
With the beats he picked to rap on, all
5:28
of that was different. So, that's where
5:30
I'm placing him. Yeah, okay. This is
5:32
interesting. Slum Village is here. They
5:34
got a new single featuring Larry June
5:36
and The Dramatics. Straight facts. Okay,
5:38
The Dramatics, the old school, you know,
5:41
love songs, R&B and soul. Go outside in
5:44
the rain. I'm going to go outside.
5:49
In the rain, where did you find The
5:50
Dramatics? Man, that's long history.
5:53
We've done songs with them before.
5:56
You know, a lot of them they they live
5:58
in Detroit. Um
6:00
It's it's history. Go ahead and tell
6:02
your story, Jay.
6:03
Well, you my pops had a band in the '80s
6:06
called RJ's Latest Arrival.
6:08
Okay. And
6:11
basically being out there on the road
6:12
and touring and stuff,
6:14
he ran into a lot of artists. And he
6:16
just so happened to keep the
6:17
relationship with Ron
6:19
and LJ.
6:20
And then from there, they would come up
6:21
to the studio. So, you know, we just
6:24
ended up starting to work on various
6:26
songs. So, it wasn't nothing but a phone
6:28
call. You know what I'm saying? To call
6:29
them, they came through. You know what
6:31
I'm saying? They knocked it out. They
6:32
tell stories, bro. Oh, they got stories.
6:34
All the time. Like give me an example of
6:35
a story that you can tell. Man, I I
6:37
don't even know if I can tell the story.
6:39
I mean, cuz I know when they was on the
6:40
road, it was different.
6:42
Yeah, it was a lot of drugs and other
6:43
stuff that they were doing back in that
6:45
day.
6:52
Did y'all get into any drugs over the on
6:54
your career? No.
6:55
No.
6:56
Why? Y'all answered that way too fast,
6:58

7:02

7:08
Yeah, that's
7:09
That's a drug. That is. That's what
7:11
we've been about. But
7:13
so, the other stuff didn't make sense to
7:15
me. Okay. You know what I'm saying?
7:18
I didn't come up smoking. So,
7:20
you know what I'm saying? I I didn't
7:21
have my first drink till I was 30.
7:23
Um
7:24
You know, we was just different dudes.
7:26
It was really all about the music for
7:27
me.
7:28

8:01
twisted. Oh, man. We went out that
8:03
night. I don't know what happened.

10:13
Run it back. I've heard it a thousand
10:15
times Sway. No, I want to hear it again.
10:18
to hear it now. Well, I was in Amsterdam
10:20
2005. Okay. First time I ever traveled
10:24
overseas with my brother T Callaway
10:26
Terry Callaway and Rich Nice. You know
10:27
Rich Nice from the Trackmasters
10:29
producer. And we were at some function
10:33
and I remember seeing Kid Capri roaming
10:34
the streets of Amsterdam.
10:36
Randomly in the middle of the day and we
10:38
was like KID CAPRI.
10:40
RIGHT, YOU KNOW, AND I WAS LIKE YO, WHAT
10:41
is this place? It's magical. That night
10:43
we were roaming and we found a hip hop
10:45
club. We met some beautiful women that
10:47
were they were taking us around. We
10:49
going in and I want to say Redman was
10:51
DJ. Okay. Right? I was like damn Redman
10:54
was What the [ __ ] what's going on? This
10:56
is like the end of the Wizard of Oz when
10:58
everybody pop up, right?
10:59
For sure. And then he was like Kid Capri
11:01
you introduce FRANK AND DANK. WHAT?
11:04
YOU WANT ME TO OKAY, WE GOT ON THE stage
11:06
and we did all of that and they was like
11:08
yo, J Dilla's in the back. He want to
11:10
meet you.
11:11
Wow.
11:12
And all those years we was playing y'all
11:13
music King Tech and I never met him in
11:16
person because he was always sick.
11:18
Right. The times y'all would come to the
11:20
show. Right. I remember this [ __ ] cuz we
11:22
used to get mad like where is J Dilla?
11:24
Then we found out.
11:25
What? All right.
11:26
And he was in a wheelchair. I didn't
11:28
know he was in a wheelchair.
11:29
Right. And we saw each other and we lit
11:32
up. And we both start smiling and crying
11:35
bro. Wow.
11:36
Like two kids in a [ __ ] sandbox
11:39
bro. We were hugged up and crying cuz
11:41
that was my first time meeting him in
11:43
person. Right. And we took pictures the
11:45
whole nine and then soon after that the
11:47
following years when he transitioned.
11:49
Yeah. But I got a chance to hug him and
11:52
tell him I love him. Man, that's dope
11:54
man. That's a good story. I want a hand
11:55
clap to that. Y'all want me in the doc?
11:59
I feel like I was auditioning right
12:01
there.
12:02
You said I told that [ __ ] now I was like
12:04
HE ALMOST DID IT. A little TEAR CAME
12:05
DOWN.
12:08
GO AHEAD TREY. GO AHEAD. WE ALL KNOW how
12:10
powerful nostalgia is, right? And as
12:14
legacy artists
12:16
does it ever feel uncomfortable if fans
12:19
are super attached to music from the
12:22
past more than the new things you're
12:24
putting out now?
12:25
Not for me. Nah, not for me. And and the
12:28
reason why is you know what's crazy? Hip
12:30
hop is finally
12:32
um
12:33
doing what rock and roll did. In a sense
12:36
that when I go to my shows now there's
12:38
no old [ __ ] in the audience like me.
12:41
I'm seeing people that's 20 25.
12:44
I guess they forgot about hip hop or
12:45
something. You know what I'm saying?
12:47
AND WHAT I'M saying is it's being passed
12:50
down by generations and it took a while
12:52
for that because they said hip hop was
12:54
just and you just had to be a young it
12:56
was a young man's game only. Yeah. You
12:58
know what I'm saying? But it's not that
13:00
no more. My when our shows are sold out
13:03
and that's a lot of them it's young
13:05
people. Yeah. It's that's that's what it
13:07
is.
13:07
Wow. So, so they pass that music down
13:10
just like just like my mama did with
13:11
Luther Vandross or whatever you know,
13:14
she was listening to. The Dramatics.
13:15
Yeah, Dramatics. You know what I'm
13:16
saying? Cuz it's true art. It's like how
13:19
a gazillion generations go to visit the
13:20
Mona Lisa. Right. And and and if if
13:23
they're young and they just now getting
13:25
into Slum Village even if it's the old
13:27
music you got to you got to you got to
13:29
appreciate that. That's what that's
13:30
that's the point I was making. I love
13:31
young people man. Round shout out to the
13:33
young people. Kolani get on the mic on
13:35
behalf of all young people.
13:37
You know, you are you 20 now? You barely
13:38
20 man.
13:40
20.
13:41
I wonder if your dad worked with Slum
13:44
That's funny you said that. We we were
13:46

14:27
Hey
14:28
James. What up though? What up though?
14:30
What up though? Hey, listen. I got a lot
14:32
to say but listen. Young RJ said it but
14:35
he don't let him gloss it over. His
14:37
dad's band RJ's Latest Arrival was a
14:40
Detroit legend. Detroit is the greatest
14:42
music city ever and their song Shackles
14:45
is up there one of the greatest songs
14:47
Detroit songs ever. Shackles on my feet.
14:51
For sure. That's your daddy? Yeah,
14:53
that's my pride.
14:55
Man, YOU GOT MONEY.
14:57
THEY GOT A NEW SONG THEY DROPPING
14:59
JUNE 2ND. REALLY? What's on it? They
15:02
back. They coming back.
15:03
They coming back after how many years?
15:05
Since the
15:06
since 92.
15:08
Man, you come back with them bring them
15:09
on the show. I would love to talk to
15:10
your pops man. That'd be dope. Shackles
15:12
on my feet. No, I see what you did. And
15:15
then uh
15:16
And then secondly, so I just got a quick
15:19
J Dilla story that I want to ask Slum
15:20
Village a question. So, we back in 90
15:22
somewhere 91 my man had a man and we
15:24
went to crib and there was this dude
15:26
making a a beat tape off of the two
15:29
cassettes. He's making a pause tape. And
15:31
we were everybody's like oh, he knows
15:33
Q-Tip and all this [ __ ] It was J Dilla.
15:35
I was sitting there right there while J
15:37
Dilla was making a pause tape. And when
15:39
I look back at it now it was like
15:41
watching Amadeus compose you know, some
15:44
[ __ ] and we were just smoking weed and
15:46
just like whatever. And it was a big
15:48
thing. But it was enormous in in in my
15:52
life of hip hop. And it was just one of
15:54
the greatest experience. I still I still
15:56
think about it to this day and I wish I
15:58
could have hugged him or treasured that
16:00
moment cuz you didn't I didn't realize I
16:02
knew it was dope but I didn't realize
16:04
how great that moment was.
16:06
Oh, that's dope man. That's dope.
16:09
And then the last thing. So, again I'm
16:11
from Detroit. Y'all remember the Rhythm
16:13
Kitchen, right? For sure. For sure. I
16:15
was
16:16
a Detroit hip hop and I know y'all used
16:18
to get on the mic. But who was the MC
16:21
that used to get on the mic and bring
16:22
the crowd down? And you know, every it
16:24
was like the I don't know if it was
16:25
Proof but it was the MC
16:27
that used to bring the house down every
16:29
Friday. Do y'all remember who that was?
16:31
It was it was probably Proof.
16:33
A little backstory the Rhythm Kitchen
16:35
was like a Chinese restaurant that
16:38
turned into a hip hop spot.
16:40
You know what I'm saying? On one day a
16:42
week. And
16:44
we all used to come there and used to
16:45
play all the hip hop joints but yeah,
16:47
Proof was definitely one of the main
16:49
host. Rest in peace to him. You know,
16:51
Proof always tore it down. It was
16:52
probably Proof. Yeah. For sure. Damn.
16:54
That [ __ ] was That was that was my hip
16:56
hop Mecca. And I learned everything I
16:58
you know, that was that was that was it
17:00
Who else was in the in the I love y'all
17:02
man. Love you too James. You a citizen
17:03
brother. Who else was on the mic back
17:05
then?
17:06
I mean M M was there. Everybody
17:09
everybody Royce Did the young M used to
17:11
floor it? Like I remember when young M
17:13
first came to California and we was like
17:15
who the [ __ ] Who is this? What was he
17:18
like in there? Uh he Was he one of many?
17:21
He
17:22
it was one of many and he was to
17:23
himself. He had his little you know
17:26
seclusion. I remember hearing I remember
17:28
when I first heard his first demo. I
17:30
still remember some of the lines to it.
17:32
Um
17:33
and I was like man, this guy is
17:34
incredible. And he was saying one day he
17:36
was going to be on BET and MTV. It was
17:38
it was like a quote that he said about
17:40
that. I was like man, this guy is
17:41
incredible. You know what I'm saying?
17:43
So yeah.
17:44

17:46
stories of Detroit man. We got to you

18:04
That's hilarious though. It is some out
18:06
there cuz y'all got a lot of them out
18:07

That's cap. That's what they say. That's
18:16
