1:41
did you hear that made gave you that
1:44
itch cuz it's been about five years
1:46
since you done something right what gave
1:48
y'all to itch I mean we always been
1:50
making music okay we just hit the ground
1:52
running after that album we both went on
1:54
our own paths always stayed in touch
1:55
always worked on music and we had these
1:57
joints from like six seven years ago and
1:59
I said yo these these are crazy songs
2:01
let's release them I kept pushing them
2:02
and then we wrapped up and we added a
2:04
couple new ones and we had an album so
2:05
you're doing with uh what I heard n
2:08
speak about like a lot of times and and
2:10
té by no mean is you you you're a
2:12
younger generation artist um to us you
2:14
know you um and so you're still in your
2:17
Prime but a lot of artists who put out
2:19
music as long as you have get gunshot
2:22
you did you get to because you do so
2:24
much you work with the Grammys you you
2:26
you know you you philanthropic you do a
2:27
whole lot of other thing you have grown
2:30
as a human being yes uh how has your
2:32
relationship with rap um changed I love
2:35
it I still love it as much as I did on
2:37
day one okay um I think the the biggest
2:40
thing between me going out and to do
2:42
other things kind of goes back into that
2:44
clip that you played um I wanted to do
2:47
things that I was able to continue to
2:50
stretch my creativity and stretch my
2:52
contribution to the culture and figure
2:54
out other ways to bring in Revenue that
2:57
didn't make me have to compromise what
3:00
went and in the studio and so for all
3:02
the other endeavors that I've been able
3:04
to kind of put in my in my catalog of of
3:07
career those things are things that I
3:10
love to do but they're byproducts of
3:12
this hip-hop you know like MC is the
3:14
springboard for all of it it's no acting
3:16
it's no radio shows it's no recording
3:19
Academy it's no none of the other things
3:20
I do without hip-hop now I will say that
3:24
the last project I put out five years
3:25
ago I kind of started to get bored with
3:28
the rinse and repeat of of just put a
3:30
record out do some shows shoot some
3:32
videos do some interviews sell a few
3:34
thousand do it again I was like I need
3:36
to do something to keep this exciting
3:37
and fresh for me so sometimes you got to
3:39
step back so you can step back into it
3:41
the right way yeah I like that reflect
3:44
on it you you know we were talking then
3:46
about streams and you know most recently
3:49
we've been hearing how you know in the
3:50
rap genre the streaming has gone down
3:52
substantially right what do why do you
3:55
think that
3:56
is I think people just tied of hearing
3:58
the same [ __ ] you you know I think
4:00
people are tired of hearing the same
4:01
content now I think the youth stream at
4:04
a really really high rate so they'll
4:06
continue to keep the ecosystem going but
4:08
I think as a whole you know when you get
4:10
to just like your casual fan and
4:13
especially like a music novice who just
4:15
he discover new music from shows like
4:17
this or whatever it's not a lot of
4:19
things that people are going to go back
4:20
to and run up like they once have and
4:23
then everything goes in Cycles as well
4:24
you know so Papa kind of move back to
4:27
the Forefront you might get country or
4:29
might get you know Americana that mov to
4:32
the Forefront but hip-hop is the one of
4:34
the youngest genres and it's not going
4:36
anywhere but it's going to go in a cycle
4:38
it'll be the most popular it'll dwindle
4:40
it'll shoot back up to the top that's
4:41
just how it goes to is here Marco Polo
4:44
is here give him a big round of applause
4:45
I mention you work with the
4:47
Grammys Grammys get a lot of metaphors
4:50
in rap versus yes I think blue iy a
4:54
Grammy was her sippy cup yes right I
4:57
think Drake made a comment in one of the
4:59
songs yeah he said it was a door stop it
5:01
was a door told uh Jimmy Jam that he
5:03
uses as a door stopper what are your
5:06
thoughts when you hear that that because
5:08
I'm a you know I'm a member too right
5:10
you know I always go man come on guys
5:12
what are your thoughts when you hear
5:13
that I mean it's just it's easy to make
5:15
the recording Academy and the Grammy a
5:17
punchline because one thing that I've
5:20
seen since I've been a part of the
5:21
academy is every year people hate on the
5:23
Grammys until they're nominated until
5:26
they win and if they don't win that
5:28
following year right back to the talking
5:30
[ __ ] part and I'm just like yo your
5:33
price went up I go to your bio it's
5:35
literally the first sentence after your
5:36
name Grammy awardwinning you walk on any
5:39
show Grammy awardwinning so it's still
5:42
it's still a very prestigious award it's
5:45
easy to talk [ __ ] about it and
5:46
everything is floor everything in the
5:48
world is floyed so you can highlight the
5:50
flaw of the Grammys of the recording
5:51
Academy but you know when you win one
5:54
you know you changing the number on that
5:56
you know on that on that offer and so
5:59
it's just you got to take it with a
6:00
grain of salt it's just like no nothing
6:02
is 100% perfect people going to love all
6:04
the time and the the recording Academy
6:06
is no exception to that I'm ask you one
6:08
last I know Tracy and Heather Mike Muse
6:10
over there they they want to jump in on
6:12
this man is the
6:15
chain number one real yes okay did you
6:20
buy that or LL bought that cuz I know
6:23
you work at Rock the bells oh man LL is
6:27
a very generous human I don't know if
6:29
this generous I don't know if I pass
6:31
that you know I mean that gift level yet
6:33
but yeah this is no I admire your
6:36
relationship with LL coj and I say this
6:40
because I told you I might even texted
6:42
you I saw LL you was backstage at one of
6:45
um at the tour right and LL greeted you
6:48
like he was greeting his little brother
6:50
and he and he hugged you and it's almost
6:52
like he respects you you know like he he
6:55
might want your feedback How We Do you
6:57
know he might you know uh what is your
6:59
relation ship with him you I know You'
7:01
sat with him one onone now and got some
7:03
off mic we had yeah we had some great
7:06
conversation yo I'll say this man for
7:09
L's been a superstar my whole life not a
7:11
rapper not famous not a rap star L L's
7:14
been a superstar for as long as I can
7:17
remember and facts that's real for
7:20
that's for everybody everybody yo he's
7:22
so [ __ ] gracious bro like not that he
7:25
doesn't have to be cuz he's a
7:27
God-fearing man but you think about all
7:29
acol let's just look at the force tour
7:31
right LL could say yo I'm I'm going on
7:34
the road I'mma sell these shows out I'm
7:35
going to do these I'm going do these
7:36
venues LL got rock Kim with him and salt
7:39
and pepper and juvenile and Bone Thugs
7:43
and big boy and it's not to say that all
7:45
of these artists aren't worthy or
7:47
deserving but to see Rock Kim in these
7:51
Arenas every night that are filled up in
7:54
2023 when LL could have just went out
7:56
there and did that on his own when you
7:58
see LL start something like rock the
8:00
bells where Equity goes back to the OG's
8:03
and you turn on the radio and you hear
8:06
Caz and Sh rock or you hear myself or
8:08
you hear DJ scratch and he's just G
8:11
continuously giving opportunities to
8:14
people when it's not necessary he
8:16
doesn't have to and when you tell him he
8:17
doesn't have to he'll rebuke that what I
8:20
do have to because this is what I do
8:21
this is the culture so I love that he's
8:24
taking ownership of what he thinks hip
8:27
hop should be doing and not just saying
8:29
yo we need to do this we need to put on
8:30
we need to rep he's just doing it he's
8:33
doing it yeah look at the tour look at
8:35
the Cru right the Cru is coming up I'm
8:38
I'm a host on the cruise I don't know if
8:40
you knew that no I'm Saturday I'm the LA
8:43
I'm in that's it I'm in bab listen
8:45
that's
8:48
what break breaking news to the entire
8:51
team he has in the morning bre and
8:54
probably to the Rock the belts team too
8:55
no I wasn't able to make that
8:57
announcement these both yeah
8:59
you dropped it already torch did you
9:01
know yeah we spoke about it a little B
9:03
you be with torch no we spoke about it a
9:05
little bit you with I talked about it on
9:08
air Tracy don't start cuz Heather's back
9:10
you heard this all right man let me see
9:13
the truth okay but that's but that's
9:16
that's what's incredible did you play on
9:17
this album I did not no did you find out
9:20
what he thought of it you know l l is oh
9:23
he's on tour right now so I'm giving him
9:25
that space But what I learned about L is
9:27
he's always listening and watching and
9:29
paying attention when you think he don't
9:31
even down to the name of my show on Rock
9:33
The Bells the name of the show I had a
9:35
whole different name and I talked to Jay
9:37
over there and we was going with this
9:38
name and this concept and then he was
9:41
like yo El says maybe we should just go
9:43
with that raw you know the song you got
9:44
with Pete Rock he really likes that s
9:46
and my mind just it was the head explode
9:48
Emoji I'm like yo not only does el know
9:51
the music but he's he's ingrained in the
9:54
[ __ ] so much so that he's paying
9:56
attention you know I'll get a text yo me
9:58
and Tyler listening or I'll get a
10:00
FaceTime you know when the book dropped
10:02
and FaceTime Ebony and L was right there
10:04
he just stayed super tapped in so um I
10:07
don't know if he heard the album yet I
10:08
haven't gotten any feedback from him but
10:10
I know once the tour is over hopefully
10:12
we'll have a moment to sit and discuss V
10:14
to is here on the album It's called
10:16
Midnight Run it's out right now with
10:18
Marco poos Tri you want to jump on that
10:21
yes sir um T I love how you said hip-hop
10:25
basically is the soil that all your
10:27
other Ventures grow from I'm thinking
10:30
specifically with you as a broadcast
10:32
journalist as a podcaster as a content
10:35
creator um and there are other MC's who
10:39
are also in the media space now and
10:41
perhaps even MC's that are thinking
10:43
about it so two-part question one
10:47
because so many folks when they're
10:48
creating their albums tend to not want
10:50
to listen to others and be
10:52
subconsciously influenced do you find
10:55
that can happen when you're interviewing
10:57
folks or there can be like moments when
10:59
you're speaking to another artist and
11:00
it's like dang he's about to drop
11:02
something that was an idea in my head
11:04
you know like how are you able to I
11:07
guess find a way to yes ask all the
11:11
right questions but not be like deterred
11:15
or influenced by another artist response
11:18
um I think if you walk into a
11:20
supermarket and you walk into any aisle
11:23
you're going to see Wonder Bread you're
11:25
going to see whole grain bread you're
11:26
going to see Oat Bread you're going to
11:27
see raisin bread you're going to see B
11:29
there's a variety and they might all do
11:32
kind of the same thing but it's the way
11:34
that the presentation is it's the brand
11:37
that you can trust is maybe a special
11:39
flavor or just something different that
11:41
makes this brand of bread your go-to and
11:44
your special tea out of all of the other
11:46
loaves that are on the shelf and that's
11:48
what that's what té is to me like yeah
11:50
other people do media other people um
11:53
make music other people might have radio
11:55
shows other people may act other people
11:58
may be songwriters is other people may
12:00
have podcast I'm stunning right now you
12:03
know what I'm saying the list is never
12:04
ending yes yeah like there's no it's
12:07
only one me it's only one me like so I
12:10
don't I don't allow any outside noise
12:12
and influence to ever deter me my path
12:14
what I set out to do is what I'm going
12:16
to do and if I see you on that road I'm
12:19
I'mma salute you but I just know that
12:21
what I'm doing I'm not going to let it
12:22
be affected by anybody to left or right
12:25
so for any MC that we're thinking about
12:27
getting into the podcast space media in
12:29
general what are some of the pros and
12:32
cons since you know now you have folks
12:34
who are speaking about their
12:36
peers you know what I mean like what's
12:38
the advice that you would give someone
12:40
before you answer that uh he and bons Su
12:43
Thompson have an incredible um podcast
12:45
called hard to
12:47
earn they do incredible work if you
12:50
haven't got up on this check all your
12:51
local uh dsps yes um and there's a a
12:55
real insightful U journalistic uh
12:58
factual approach and opinionated
13:00
approach to a lot of legendary projects
13:03
that have been released over the past
13:04
few years um past you decades and you
13:07
pay hamage and people giving flowers now
13:09
but you guys are already doing that so
13:11
salute to you go for that
13:13
answer well love yeah um the thing about
13:17
hard to earn I'll speak just to my my
13:19
product specifically please do the thing
13:21
about hard to earn is that b and I are
13:24
always coming from a place of love one
13:26
even when we being critical or even when
13:28
we have to talk about something that or
13:30
just not our favorite song right but
13:32
this is an artist that we respect so
13:33
much that we're taking the time to talk
13:36
about this project we talk we taking the
13:38
time to um to to highlight this project
13:41
whether it be a new project or it be
13:43
something on a on a classic anniversary
13:45
we do 10 years 15 20 Etc um and so it's
13:49
nothing that I wouldn't say to anybody
13:51
in their face it's never coming from a a
13:53
malicious place it's never with the
13:55
intent to try to put somebody down so I
13:57
could big myself up up like be is a very
14:00
accomplished journalist he got a movie
14:02
out right now story AB that he co-wrote
14:04
so he's coming from a place of love in
14:07
this culture I'm coming from the artist
14:10
P perspective the touring artist
14:11
perspective the radio personality
14:13
songwriter perspective so I think that I
14:15
have some validity behind the words and
14:18
the words and the the thoughts that I
14:20
choose to put on some of these projects
14:22
and so I'm like I said I would go and
14:24
sit in the room with any of these
14:26
artists and have the same conversation
14:28
and so like we do it out of love we do
14:30
it because we want to continue to push
14:32
the culture forward and why any pundit
14:35
outside of the culture should be talking
14:36
about our [ __ ] as opposed to us is
14:39
beyond me like who better to to give
14:42
Heather be flowers on the Classic record
14:44
than somebody who she inspired myself I
14:47
love it to here Mike you want to say
14:48
anything to
14:51
T Mike m yeah I have I have a couple
14:54
questions but I'll I'll try and keep it
14:55
very simple yeah I know I'm keep I'm
14:58
going keep it very very succinct Tori
15:01
you have lived such a full and you're
15:02
living such a full life you know the
15:04
podcasting the touring the RO presting
15:06
everything that you just mentioned so
15:08
I'm do a two-parter one what does
15:10
somebody like you rap about now like
15:13
what are your topics what's some of your
15:15
thesis and then the second part to tie
15:17
into the first part is what advice would
15:19
you give younger artists uh who are
15:21
trying to come into the game on the
15:22
importance of you living outside of
15:24
their four walls right or their four
15:26
block radius and how that can have an
15:28
impact on their art um I write about
15:31
life experience and that's another
15:33
reason why I'm not one of those artists
15:35
that put an album out every year because
15:36
I don't know how much growth is going to
15:39
happen from Project to project within a
15:42
12 month span so I want to to I want to
15:44
hang out with my kids I want to go on
15:46
college vigs with my daughter I want to
15:48
drive around the country with aaou games
15:50
for my son I want to experience more
15:52
life and then come back to the table and
15:54
come back to the studio with that so
15:55
that's what I'm I used to think when I
15:57
was younger that I would run out of
15:59
stuff to rap about but that's when I had
16:00
a very small perspective of what the
16:03
world was um the world is a a huge place
16:06
you know what I'm saying and so even
16:08
recording in a different city a
16:09
different state a different country can
16:11
give you different experiences so um I
16:13
always come from a a honest place and
16:15
that's going to continue to keep the
16:17
music evolving as far as advice uh don't
16:20
do it no um be
16:24
be be true to whatever it is you believe
16:28
if you about getting to that bag and
16:30
that's all you care about and it's not a
16:33
love or care for the culture I would say
16:36
don't do it but if you are going to do
16:39
it be true to that yo I'm here to get
16:40
the bread I'm not a rapper I'm an
16:43
opportunist I'm a hustler I'm a person
16:45
that's just trying to get to this um but
16:47
if you really do love it and you really
16:49
want to make a career out of it I would
16:51
say study those that came before you be
16:53
prepared to do it for a really long time
16:55
without making a dime in return and um
16:59
just just be be mindful of all of the
17:03
journey because some people want to
17:04
Sprint right to the finish line and the
17:07
joy is in the journey it's the whole
17:09
entire process I hadn't heard that
17:11
interview that clip that you played
17:12
since I said it but just seeing my
17:15
perspective then and knowing what's
17:17
transpired from that time to where I am
17:19
now it's crazy because that gives me
17:21
chills cuz like wow I had this mindset
17:24
then and it was a very real place that I
17:26
came from and if you look at the years
17:29
that the passed since then it's been
17:30
nothing but everything I said and it's
17:32
kind of come into fruition so it's just
17:34
dope man great question Mike Muse great
17:36
response and I got to give shout out to
17:37
Lonnie light because I we wanted him to
17:40
find Eclipse um 21 year old man and and
17:43
what stood out to him was that clip word
17:45
yeah so that's I met Lonnie in the
17:47
hallway and he was like yo té he was
17:49
like man I seen you around before but
17:51
I'm doing this research on you and he
17:52
showed me some love so I just want to
17:53
show him some love
17:55
back righteous all right HP so my
17:58
question is for Marco Polo because um as
18:00
a producer I'm wondering what your
18:03
mindset is like I think we often we we
18:06
we love artists artists are celebrated
18:07
they're in the Forefront and we've heard
18:10
so many artists talk about what it's
18:11
like for them to go in the studio and
18:13
write their writing process as T
18:15
mentioned but I'm always curious as as
18:17
the producer when it's time you sit down
18:19
and agree to do an album and work on a
18:21
project what do you do do you have some
18:23
rituals do you like okay now I got to go
18:26
beat shopping or now I got to do this or
18:28
I got to do that or is it something that
18:29
you already have in mind which makes you
18:31
feel comfortable to work with that
18:33
artist to begin with I think going back
18:35
to something té said once we kind of
18:37
shift gears earlier in our careers to
18:39
get some income coming in other ways in
18:41
music not just the creative stuff it
18:43
lets me do what I love and not stress
18:45
anything else so it really just starts
18:47
with me sitting down in the purest form
18:49
and creating beats art um because I love
18:53
it and then once I have these beats then
18:56
everything happens from there then I'm
18:57
like you know what these three right
18:59
here that's for Ace these three right
19:01
here are for T yeah I'm not really I
19:03
mean obviously sometimes I sit down and
19:04
craft something specifically for an
19:06
artist but really most of the time I
19:08
just create and then from there it's
19:10
like I don't just send 20 beats to
19:12
someone and let them pick I never do
19:14
that cuz MTS will make the wrong
19:15
decisions most of the
19:18
time no offense yeah and sometimes they
19:21
don't but with with Tor I know what the
19:23
sound is and so he'll get Beats that I
19:26
think and sometimes he'll push me like
19:27
yo play some other [ __ ] and we'll do
19:29
that but because we have a a friendship
19:31
to do that but I never just send what I
19:33
make to anyone ever everything's curated
19:36
and from there it's everything kind of
19:39
you know starts from that process so did
19:40
Sean Price pick the prisoner
19:43
beat it's a great story I'm glad you
19:45
asked that question rest in peace Sean I
19:48
miss that dude so much um he called me
19:50
on the telephone and he was watching a
19:52
movie and I think it's a a Billy Paul
19:55
sample yeah and he's like yo you got to
19:57
he gave me an assignment which I took as
19:59
such a compliment cuz it's Sea price he
20:01
could call any producer he's like I know
20:03
you can take that and make something so
20:05
he gave me the whole idea he's like take
20:07
that sample make a beat send it to me
20:08
and I did and that's how that song came
20:10
to be and then he put freeway on it um
20:12
so it was yeah super crazy that's a
20:14
crazy song too man congratulations all
20:17
the people you got to work with T Styles
20:20
P all the different folks you work with
20:22
man Marco Polo was here I'm here the
20:24
album is midnight run why y'all call it
20:27
that jump in no no no um so we did
20:31
double barrel obviously people just
20:33
assumed that it would be double barrel
20:35
to or double barrel loaded or something
20:36
that's kind of in that cliche and we
20:38
wanted to do something different we
20:40
wanted to continue on what we did
20:42
musically you know pick up what we left
20:44
off but we didn't want to just call it a
20:46
sequel album and so once we got in the
20:48
head space of kind of what we were
20:50
thinking about I went and did a Google
20:52
search honestly like I was like what is
20:54
a classic 80s movie and we start CL you
20:57
start start searching through and
20:58
midnight run kind of just jumped off the
21:00
screen and I hit Marco and I was like
21:02
what you think about midnight run he was
21:03
like let me sleep on it the next day he
21:05
was like yeah let's do it and that's it
21:07
but it sounds like but we always have
21:09
arguments and I want to ask everybody in
21:10
this room too their opinion what's iller
21:12
because I think a group name is iller
21:14
like Gangstar you know that's Guru and
21:16
Premiere but then you have Pete Rock and
21:17
SE smooth what's Doper two names like
21:19
how we do it or a group name cuz I'm
21:22
group name we always got shut down by
21:24
the label they're like your name has a
21:25
sales history and this and that and
21:27
things earlier wish I would have fought
21:28
harder to have us as you know double
21:31
barrel the group no doubt but I'm I'm
21:33
asking yeah I
21:34
know I don't I like I like I don't know
21:37
it depends um I think uh King Tech and I
21:41
used to be flynamic Force right and then
21:43
we reverse it nah we need to put our
21:46
names out you know so people can
21:48
identify us and our individual brand and
21:50
together we make you know and then we
21:52
can make projects with certain names so
21:54
I'm with the names you like the names I
21:56
like the names okay I like the names I
21:58
like the group name Midnight Run I think
21:59
that would be dope yeah yo every album
22:02
we just change our group
22:03
name hey so man give these guys a round
