music that wasn't so-called mainstream or backed by big conglomerates that's
0:52
right to get ads nobody paid for that ad that's right we got them to add to a
0:57
song on the beat and we couldn't believe we were able to do that but that was able to give them exposure not only in

LA but we would Syndicate all around the country and we felt like black star was the perfect representation of what the
1:11
culture is um at that time and even now give it up for T man no doubt if I had

3:19
her Jersey is in the RAF and he SE saw it like everybody else did you know like back then you know Caris one and wuang
3:26
and all those Brothers they were all doing the Apollo then it was coming on at one the morning and now's new and he came up to me during my sound check I
3:33
had been brought on as a professional guest and he came up and shook my hand during my sound check and said keep doing what you doing and that was be
3:39
that was a couple years before I recorded with him wow so yes yeah I wanted him to flirt with me but he didn't he was really respectful no he's

3:57
love Nas for that and and and I was a big fan of his like you know is one of my favorite records of all time I'm a
4:02
Nas fan you're so hilarious I know I know where my friend like yeah yeah we we've been rolling for
4:10
a long time since in Kuru book so but you did the Jeezy thing what's it called Church yeah Church in the Street Church
4:15
in the streets yeah Eternal reflection Eternal he wanted to give a n to actually T live on that so it's called
4:20
Eternal reflection um jezy wanted to give a n yeah that's why they called it Eternal reflection as a reflection
4:27
Eternal okay absolutely yeah and jezy honestly when I he reached out to me I was like okay and I had to Google and
4:33
make sure I was doing the right thing but I really enjoyed his music and what he was doing she's like what's all this snowman stuff yeah Detroit loves Jeezy
4:40
listen Detroit loves Jeezy and I couldn't tell that I couldn't sell no and then the last I've been on then I
4:46
was on Common's last two records you know so that's what Karim rigin brought me into that Kar shout out to Karim
4:52
rigin and common you and then you got the new project now we are scorpio it's a rock and roll project it's that's the
4:58
record I was trying to make when made the Jazz Soul project black te with t Stephanie Christian's a Powerhouse rock
5:04
singer and I've been producing black women Rock for 20 years I support black women who play rock and rooll you know I
5:09
got some songs I got I got bars on that record rock and roll [ __ ] that's s [ __ ] we got to play that one that song is
5:15
like the I I would say that song is like the mission statement of this of this record because a lot of people don't know that that rock and roll really with
5:22
people like uh big mama Thor Rosetta started by black women you know the BL
5:28
say that again yeah rock and roll by black women specifically name some of those women that's Whata thar you know
5:35
we all know Grace and Tina Turner and um and Bly Davis is who I've been doing
5:40
black woman and rock for who if not for her Miles Davis would never become the greatness that he became because he she
5:46
un loosened the tie and introduced him to um sliding the Family Stone and Jimmy Hendrick so it just you have to think
5:52
about the go gospel in the Blues like that's what the rock and roll comes from so they repackage rock and roll in this white package this white blond haired
5:59
you guy playing drums and that's not what it is at all it's our music it's our it's our stories you know and a lot
6:05
of those white artists was just repeating reference focals that exactly Elvis wasn't Elvis man was a hero the
6:12

9:19
you talking about we go back to them days context man I down there teared up right there what you [ __ ] doing T you
9:25
doing this on purpose that's right I do this jungle was King Tac and I signed a major record deal in 1990 with giant
9:32
Warner Brothers and we were one of a handful of people from the bay that was able to get major record deals and the
9:39
album we put out was Concrete Jungle J Ross man that's a real Digger right
9:44
there a man I live in crates I I I I stay I mean I'm a music connoisseur I
9:51
listen to all kinds of music so that's what I do but you know I'm a I'm an assistant professor of Hip Hop with a PhD at the Ohio State University so come
9:59
on this is what I do man man so you in Hightech cool
10:04
oh oh my goodness definitely so whenever I say King I got to separate King Tech
10:10
from high-tech people used to think they were the same people for the long longest time man it's good to meet you in person man thank you T man man what I
10:20
do God the confidence of knowing yes this
10:26
whole project conceptually really uh I I resonated with me you know as I listen
10:32
to some of the themes and some of the songs and a lot of the things that you touch on with confidence that's right
10:37
you know like there's no question in what I'm saying I know of what this is the confidence of knowing when did you
10:44
first obtain that for yourself as a as a artist uh early you know the confidence
10:51
of knowing is something I heard Jay-Z say in an interview with someone and Jay-Z he speaks in like Proverbs you
10:57
know what I'm saying and when he gives you a Jew was is usually something he got for someone else okay so I heard Jay-Z he kind of just off offhandedly
11:04
said you have as an artist you have to have the confidence and knowing when you first start you have no fans and
11:10
everybody in the world tells you that to be an artist is crazy it's not stable you got to go get a real job and you
11:16
have to know that even though the world is telling you that you sound crazy that you know better you know what they don't
11:21
know you have the confidence of knowing that this is what you're supposed to do and I'm like that's how I've always lived my whole life so when working with
11:28
J rolls on this new album as we started working on the songs things that have
11:33
happened in my life recently I just felt like okay what I need to talk what what
11:39
would be therapeutic for me is to talk about what I know and that's why the first song breath eyes memory which is a
11:45
is a is a nod to Edward danac cot's Book classic breath eyes memory I say this is
11:51
my therapy I'm very much alive you know I'm searching for the truth so the lies try to bury me I'm talking about things I go through but it's about knowing that
11:58
they lying M knowing that you know the truth yeah and you watching them lie in your face it's a art to that too yes
12:05
indeed it's an art that's a deeper conversation I'mma tell you the LIE right as a matter of fact I'll tell you
12:11
your lie better than you trying to tell it to now come on I'll tell you the LIE better than your truth right wow in it
12:17
in that particular song uh you also make a comment about art and how it differs
12:23
what art means to Europeans and then what art I did I did say that a lot of Europeans got mad in the comments oh
12:31
shout out to the Europeans shout out to my European brothers and sisters yeah but T say what you said that art for Europeans is just for the sake of art
12:39
yeah uhhuh yeah I mean that's that's you know that's just a fact you know if you study art history which I hav
12:46
it oh wow but I study history I know about history and I know about racism and and the the social construct of race
12:54
because race is not a real thing that's why I said European versus African CU that's more of a real than white versus
13:00
black but yeah and and when you go to a museum go to the Natural History Museum when you look at African art it's a lot
13:06
of art effects it's a lot of uh spoons and bowls and and thing things that
13:12
people used in their Everyday Life to Live the art was practical it was necessary the European Standard of art
13:19
has traditionally or more generally been uh you have the luxury of just interpreting the world just looking at a
13:25
painting on a wall you see a picture of a flower you can paint the flower how it looks like and there there there's a beauty to that I'm an artist I love
13:31
seeing that I wasn't dissing European art when I said that I was just saying for Africans in this world is not that's
13:38
that's not the nature of Africans that's the nature of capitalism that's the nature of racism is that our art is not
13:44
celebrated in that way so when you when you think about art for Africa they're like oh man it's like it's really stuff
13:49
they stole you know what I'm saying yeah yeah and I also got to add to that point
13:54
what we do is Art what a lot of people do on the Internet is create content and we B up these content creators and we
14:01
excuse a lot of nonsense by saying well at least you know he get the clicks and Views at least he's a content creator
14:06
you can't hate on his no I I can disagree with that though yeah you know any you you got somebody a girl could
14:12
fart in a jar and sell that online and that's a content creator that's different than what we do Define Define
14:19
art and Define content in your opinion I think art is freedom and art is the
14:24
right intentionality behind it there's art that doesn't resonate with me there's art that's for me there's art
14:30
that I don't like but I still can say that that's art when you're just trying
14:35
to create art is always good content is
14:41
often not good art is resistance yeah yes content is just content and I feel
14:47
like art speaks to your heart and content just speaks to like your eyes come on right that I would encourage all
14:53
the artists to you know you got to get your coins and you got to get your numbers up and you got to pay attention
14:59
the algorithm if you're making money on the internet but if you call yourself an artist I would encourage you to stay
15:04
away from looking at yourself as a mere content creators all artists are content creators by default but we what we do is
15:12
way deeper you you have a song I want to say is it we outside we outside we outside video for that coming next and
15:19
when I listened to that song I felt like it spoke to this conversation that we kind of getting into now being outside
15:24
to me man we're outside of the systems that keep us
15:30
locked in we're outside of that algorithm right thinking I Heather tells me to get off my phone all the time you
15:37
know cuz I'm just you know sometimes I start you know doing that scroll [ __ ] but I know how to separate myself from
15:44
it most kids don't know that there's a ability to even separate and most people
15:50
tell you can't escape it yeah you can't escape these systems you can't escape these algorithms and I believe too that
15:57
these algorithms are divisive they are they are right and because you have to create to be a content creator like you
16:03
know it's well documented a lot of these places that people gather on internet I'm not welcome at yeah you've been
16:09
kicked off K so it gives me it gives me a new ever since I've not been welcomed
16:14
there it gives me a perspective and and sometimes I get fomo and I'm in a group chat and people put Instagram links in
16:19
the group chat and I I got to go through a whole extra effort for me to see the what everybody's talking about but then
16:26
it's like is it worth it though is it worth it though I really need to see this meme of someone talking about some do I need to see this what everybody's
16:32
laughing at sometimes I feel like it but you know there's people I respect you know I look at you know Willie D who I
16:39
watch or I look at like I like what Willie D has to say or I look at a rock rockness has his Rock Nation it's not
16:45
it's bubbling it's not as big as wiie D but he be giving his hot takes on the on the on the and I look at the and Joe
16:51
Button and them sit around talk about the hot takes of the day and they got the the ticker looking like ESPN what you know what I'm saying and I'm like I
16:58
love respected and I click on these things yeah but I would hate as being on the outside I'm like man it's a blessing
17:06
that I'm not allowed on the internet in certain cases because I would hate to have to find something to talk about
17:12
yeah I saw rock on his on his uh you know YouTube talking about man I didn't even want to talk about nothing I didn't
17:18
want to it was hard for me to find something to talk about I had to serve the algorithm because if you take a break you he said this and then he said
17:25
and then did he got arrested so now I got a lot to talk about and I was like oh so you kind of have to like be
17:30
involved in the drama in order to even do it you got to keep feeding the monster right and then you get rewarded
17:37
for that you can make money as an artist but people complain about the streaming race you know the blast black star album we didn't put it out on on dsps y SE
17:44
don't like the dsps and he's correct about that he's very correct as we're finding out go ahead yes but you can
17:49
make money if you're willing to feed the machine so y'all did the direct to Consumer thing um yeah Blackstar album
17:56
is on band camp right now uh Blackstar band camp and in November we dropped the vinyl I I signed like 500 me and Y sign
18:03
like 500 vinyls so we got to signed vinyls available I had um Raheem Devon
18:09
come up here and said he's using even now yes which is different from album music right tidle and the other ones and
18:16
he's he's getting his Lion Share back he he he feels like that's a more uh you
18:22
could be more tonomous there it's more proprietorship yeah I don't know exactly what even is but I know that whatever
18:28

23:26
misconception about me because it's a story they tell it's a lie M that I'm going around people's pages and having
23:31
issues with what strangers say I don't I don't got time to do that I did have time to check people on my page though
23:36
you know what I'm saying so people would come to my page and be Pro Trump or or have an issue with something I would say
23:41
or just and I'd be like you know [ __ ] off or [ __ ] off my page or you know give them the same energy they showed up with
23:48
and then they want they they don't tell that part of the story they just say quali is mean he's bullying me on the
23:53
internet so I go to do do his shows a lot of love I got in Columbus I'm in the bathroom
