00:00:00
Speaker 1: No question is what exactly are we talking about?

00:00:04
Speaker 2: Fake hold? Because you like, do we need to hold? Yeah? Yeah?

00:00:24
Speaker 3: What up?

00:00:24
Speaker 4: The artist is Joe Crack your boy Jada. You know what it is, the Joe and Jada's Show. And without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, you like to welcome my beautiful guest, Tianna Taylor.

00:00:39
Speaker 2: Make some noise what's going on? But I'm just so happy you here. Man. You know, uh, my family we celebrate you and so like you're one of the favorite artists, my wife's favorite artists. My daughter, she's big everywhere but in my household. So I know all that I was dizzy to. I made it. I made it like they was. They had that all super repeat on when it came out. So it's honor to have you here. They told me not to talk much, but I gotta set it off. I'm gonna be honest with you. I know, Tianna. It's crazy. I'm looking at your daughter right now and I think I met you about that age, about that age, and I'm in Harlem coaching at the Rucker and you pull up in that famous that world famous biker yours and the reason why there's such a you and that.

00:01:43
Speaker 4: The first time I haven't met it is that bike. She was on the bike to That's Crazy around the same time. I don't know if it's the same, but when I ever first seen it, she was on the bike, I'm like, who's that?

00:01:55
Speaker 2: Like, no, let's tea. You know what's crazy is I meet so many people, right, I've been doing this thirty some years, and I met so many people who told me, Joe, I'm gonna be rich, I'm gonna be a billionaire. Even Angie Martinez laughs at me because she said the first time I met her, I was like, yo, I'm gonna be the biggest fact and she was like yeah right. And so you out of nowhere, you pull up on me and you like, yo, I needed meet for real, Like you got to introduce me to forrel I'm gonna be a s next artist, And I'm like, yo, this girl she flies. She little, what I mean, she got big dreams And to see everything you ever predicted at that age to come to fluition. How did you know because you had to know when you was young, Like did you how did you know that? You say, Yo, I'm special. God made me special because for real, though you have to have a certain type of blessing and and confidence to just predict all that in the few uture and it actually become true.

00:03:02
Speaker 3: I mean, first and foremost, I got a lot of prayer warriors. That's first, I feel like I'm.

00:03:07
Speaker 1: Covered, you know.

00:03:10
Speaker 3: But secondly, I think it's just some cocky hallm shit, Like that's just hall OFM shit. In general, we understand aesthetics and vibes and what things are supposed to look like. But I've always been very intentional, even at a young age. So it's kind of crazy to see JUNI now speak the same way, you know, but it's kind of like seeing you like that was a big thing for me.

00:03:30
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, what's up?

00:03:32
Speaker 2: I know you in there hotel forrella, No da.

00:03:34
Speaker 1: What we do it?

00:03:35
Speaker 2: And then she got with for real?

00:03:37
Speaker 4: That's crazy. Yeah, it's safe to say she she's good at everything. I'm a manifest anything she puts her in doing this.

00:03:46
Speaker 2: We call you a triple threat because there's nothing you can't do. And was that of a complication for you know, A and R somebody to see your vision because you do so many things? Was it hard to get the team that just get aligne with like all right, I want to choreograph this. I want to I want to sing, I want to shoot at I wanted to, Like, youre just like, yo, what the fuck? Like? Everybody ain't built like that? Did you ever ask?

00:04:16
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, it was a lot, and it was it was very difficult.

00:04:20
Speaker 3: And the way you're breaking it down actually make me like I want to like empathize with them for them a little bit, because no, real shit, because I never you be like, they don't know what to do with you?

00:04:31
Speaker 2: What the fuck does they don't know what.

00:04:32
Speaker 1: To do with me? I'm not trying to hear all that.

00:04:34
Speaker 3: Like you like, if I'm giving you everything, you're you're avoiding all the things you would pay for normal for the next artist.

00:04:41
Speaker 1: So I used to think it was easier having an artist that.

00:04:46
Speaker 3: I used to walk into the label with the old school move board like cut out pictures and like glued to a cardboard box, like I had the vision.

00:04:56
Speaker 1: So it's like, if everything is literally laid in your.

00:04:58
Speaker 2: Lap, how are you saying you? Yeah, how you saying you don't know.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: What to do?

00:05:02
Speaker 3: But to your point, if it's like a robotic system and they're stagnant and their comfort their comfort is here's the standard. We do this with all our artists. So because we do this with all our artists, then no other way is the right way.

00:05:15
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

00:05:16
Speaker 3: I dealt with it for a long time until I took that step back because I do do everything. So it's kind of like again when I seen you, and when I took a step back from music, I went and I manifested the same thing because I was definitely shoved in the corner on So I'm like, yo, if.

00:05:30
Speaker 1: You if you retire, you boom boom. I don't think that's smart. This is I'm telling you.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: It's not like I'm going to be a big director. Everybody's in the court and I'm gonna be a go to director, going to be a big actress. I'm gonna protect other creatives. I'm going to pour into other creators. Everything I said I.

00:05:44
Speaker 4: Was going to do, I did that, did that, did that and did it superbly.

00:05:51
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:05:52
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: It's not feeded that.

00:05:54
Speaker 3: But that's all a part of that faithful you know what I'm saying. Like you know, I go to the you know with God, Yo, were betting on to day we betting on to day.

00:06:05
Speaker 2: Both of y'all were God us.

00:06:08
Speaker 3: Well not literally, but I'm just saying, is like when people take bets elsewhere, people take gambles elsewhere.

00:06:14
Speaker 1: My gamble is like, Father, God, will we doing? What's my purpose? You know what I'm saying.

00:06:19
Speaker 3: When I'm ready to give up, Like why you keep pushing me while you keep pushing me back in? What's my purpose? You know what I'm saying, Like I want to do everything. I don't want to be in a box. Okay, if don't want to be in a box, and show me you don't want to be in a box.

00:06:29
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

00:06:29
Speaker 3: Keep praying, Keep having conversations. You got to communicate. You got to over communicate, over communicate. So like with over communicating, then he's more clear on what I wanted. He can leave me in that direction because he's gonna gow it in my lap, you know what I'm saying. So I've always took my gamble, you know, within my favor.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: It's weird terms and you over communicate, you can overstead. I understand that. And it's weird times out there right in the world. You know, hard to get a job. People on tough times. This thing has made it so everybody and their mother can say something about somebody. And so this price of fame, right, it's on another level to where, uh, I think the only thing that can keep you normal right now is your belief in God. And so when I sit down, you know, I tell them, you know, my my wife, she best friends with mary Ja. I said, with all the jones, Christy Hallom, I'm always surrounded by all the right And then the conversation always turned into God. I don't know how it just if you just start talking about everything everybody like yo, but thank God for God, and I pay my tides and because I feel like it's the only salvation, is the only way do with all this noise that's going on around us. You know this this you know you gotta be careful what you what you wish for with this fame and fortune. You know now, I know what, I know what. I love my life. But you know, I think I would have rather been wealthy more than wealthy and famous. Right Like, when I see people far, I rather wish I could just be wealthy. And but nobody can know you, I mean, but I meet wealthy people and they want to be lit like they want to hang out with the famous people they want. People think they want to be lit.

00:08:32
Speaker 1: No, that's that's that's real.

00:08:33
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people think they know what they want until they get it, you know what I'm saying. But I think for me, it's super important that even through my accolades, that like every single one of my speeches, that then they always go in my speech, all my speech is.

00:08:48
Speaker 1: Always a prayer.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: I think it's important because I think a lot of times we turn to God when when things ain't.

00:08:55
Speaker 1: Right else wrong.

00:09:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, different have them conversations through good batter in different you know, submit and pray and understand that we're not perfect. It's still a working progress. None of us haven't be perfect enough, you know what I'm saying. So it's just like you gotta pray through it all, you know, and give things.

00:09:16
Speaker 1: I think it's important, gotta give things.

00:09:19
Speaker 4: That has been five years since the album what pulled You Back? What made You say?

00:09:25
Speaker 2: Is time.

00:09:27
Speaker 3: I got pulled back on my own terms. You know what I'm saying, Like I left the first time because it wasn't on my terms. You know what I'm saying, And I knew that I was more. I was more than what was being you know.

00:09:41
Speaker 1: Put in a box for me. You know what I'm saying.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: They were trying to stuff everything in one box. And that's just not that was never me. I can't stay still, you know what I'm saying. Like me always considered myself a glade plugging. I'm'a plug in every single socket outlet you see in this building. Why only make the bathroom smell good? You can make it every Yeah, like smelling foods of your label. Like, I'm not about to be locked in one room. I'm not gonna be locked in one box. I'm not gonna be locked with one set of keys the one door.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: Shout out to your mother. Your mother's in the building. Yeah, HALLM legend. And you know, I just feel like you me Jim Jones. Not to alienate nobody, but New York made some hustles, say Lola lolah. And that's an MTV job to being an actress, to be into this, to be in that. You know, what is it in you that make you that hustler debt? Because well, I'm a fake HALLM guy from the box, right, but I got the hustle too.

00:10:45
Speaker 3: I'll say that's New York thing. I think that's a New York it's a New York thing. But also it's like, you know, my mom hustler, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And also what would help keep me grounded is actually use and use and the gyms and like to see y'all be successful and still be on a block. You feel what I'm saying, Like that's big for me. The first time I met Jada, I was mad young, and I asked for and that Negroes something script and for the life of me, I was trying to figure out what he wrote.

00:11:19
Speaker 2: And at first it was me and my hunt.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: I was like he was saying so you know, I was like trying to figure out what he was saying. But it was the fact that he like took out the time to write the autograph and I probably wasn't my bike on my skateboard or something, but it was just like, Yo, this shit is is dope.

00:11:36
Speaker 1: So now do I have the hustle? But I got the ground.

00:11:39
Speaker 3: I'm grounded because people that I look up to that's paving a way for me is really outside, you know, grounded but successful and still graceful.

00:11:50
Speaker 1: And you know, like just the balance of it. I just think that's a New York thing.

00:11:55
Speaker 4: I love that Roses describing all your emotions been.

00:12:02
Speaker 2: I like that.

00:12:05
Speaker 3: Better Roses for me, Well, you got to kind of hear the album. Once you hear the album, it's like a it's a whole story. It's an arm break album. So it's like the different emotions from heartbreak to healing, you know what I'm saying. On from like dark clouds to you know, sunny sky. So it's kind of like all the all the moments of vulnerability and grief and different things like that, but most importantly resetting, realigning and resenting yourself without armor, you know. And that's what Better Roses is for me, Like I feel like even through everything I've been through, I still got so much love to give, you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not a guarded person.

00:12:44
Speaker 2: I don't.

00:12:44
Speaker 1: I don't walk around with bricks ready to build a wall. It's just not who I am.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: So you don't base a new relationship based on past relationship.

00:12:52
Speaker 3: I mean, always move a caution exactly, But to be to be guarded, that's how you block your blessings, you know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, I don't. And I've never moved like that, you know what I'm saying. And that's what better roses represent. I wanted to do something for, you know, just the lover. People love it, girls love it boys, because I think right now, music is so toxic and so prideful and very very egocentric, you know, and it's just not who I am. And I wanted to create a lane to create healthy dialogue, healthy conversations with them music.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: You know this whole time I'm looking at you, the petty Joe is just like, Yo, what's up with the cute boyfriend a brother? Peddy Joe. Man, I'm sitting there the other day I'm gonna tell you and shout out to the brother right But the other day I'm sitting on the couch trying to look at something and Netflix and I see it's fit and I'm like, yo, you know that that's Tianna's man right there. You know what I'm saying. We watched the movie and shit, and.

00:13:51
Speaker 4: Yes I watched it.

00:13:54
Speaker 2: I skipped it a bunch of times, but once, Tuanna, you know, I'm keeping it a buck which I can't buy. Your got the clamps on me, y'all don't want me to go you do it. I don't want me to do it so well to Okay, I'm gonna calm down again. But you watched it, hell yeah, cause I mean he was a great actor. But what about the pretty boy? I mean, I'm not like this guy Dad tell us about him. Man, Well, what's the question you said? What about the pretty boy? What's the question? So rough to you from harlling you from this? And this guy is like, you know, a model or something like. But anyway, you don't think she fit. You don't think I figure for more of a like a.

00:14:45
Speaker 1: No, this this is what I think it is.

00:14:46
Speaker 3: What I think it is is like y'all watch me grow up, you know what I'm saying. Like coming home has been funny as hell because every single interview I've been doing has been all like my big brothers. So it's been a lot of tough love and a lot of of like you know, y'all knowing me from being little tea, you know what I'm saying. But I'm a woman, you know, and I am a mother, and you know, people people grow and people change, and I feel like you know, young when you're young, yeah, you just you you high you heavy, you, you just your the personality is big.

00:15:20
Speaker 1: But when that carry on into.

00:15:22
Speaker 3: Adulthood, majority of it is surviva mole, you know what I'm saying. And when you find a place that is so gentle and so delicate and so kind, it will it could so if anything, it's like boiling noodles, you know you're gonna go in there.

00:15:41
Speaker 2: Was it was it like this the guy for me? Or was it like hard work? Was it like? What? Did you see him? And you was like, yo, this this because you know, you come off of such a big publicized relationship. Is it scared for a girl to take a chance with the next guys? Say? Yo, all right, this is the guy? Because I mean, you're beautiful, on top of the world, you got money, you got whatever. I'm sure everybody and their mother was coming at you. How did this guy get your attention?

00:16:10
Speaker 3: I mean, I am really big on feeling, and I always tell people like, it's okay to feel, allow yourself to feel whatever you feel, follow that, you know, And it wasn't something I don't go looking for anything. I didn't go looking for anything, and needed did he You know, we were friends and it you know where it went? Where it went, And I think the biggest thing is is the friendship, you know what I'm saying, In.

00:16:37
Speaker 1: The safe space. We created a safe space, you know.

00:16:40
Speaker 3: And that's why I think now in days when people putting titles and labels on everything, it's just kind of like, create that safe space, create a friendship, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's sweet and it's gentle, and I deserve that.

00:16:54
Speaker 2: That's right.

00:16:56
Speaker 1: That was perfect.

00:16:57
Speaker 4: End, It was a perfect How has your experience in film and television influenced your creativity on making music now or does it? Does it even contrast or it shit a little? Because yeah, around you've been doing you doing shit.

00:17:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I've always been a character. So like even when I was into music and doing videos, I was like, I'm ready to do more. I started my own production company or female production company. My partner Coco called it Auntie's Production, so we always like even we were doing my videos independently.

00:17:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, on places from by. When I saw it, I knew it was that was just a typical.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:17:36
Speaker 1: I was just ready.

00:17:37
Speaker 3: I was I was always ahead of my time. I was just like I'm ready for something else. Like even when I started doing videos, for everybody. I'm like, all, I'm ready to move into television and film. I knew that's what I wanted to do. So by the time I, you know, took a step back from music, I was just like, I'm ready to do movies. I want to do this, I want to do that things I was already doing. But you know, you alrea'ty know how it is when you're prepared for album, everything about the album and everything else is put to the back burning and I'm like, yo, if y'all can't balance this, then I'm too much.

00:18:06
Speaker 1: This don't even make sense to do this.

00:18:08
Speaker 3: So they came, they came correct, and I got everything that that I wanted.

00:18:13
Speaker 4: You as a good ass action store. You went to acting school. You took no lessons just from Hallow or now you you're a different kind of a different human being.

00:18:23
Speaker 2: Though we acting in the boat, Dave, we acted everywhere, bro like no, but she's really good on on screen like the movie the movie you had the hard time and and that I think that's showing. That shows your skills. And now you with Leonardo the ship, that's the ship. Though, like you've done elevated to enough. You know a lot of people are talented. You know. Sometimes I go to karaoke and some girl go up there and sing her ass off. But I'm like, damn, why this girl never became a star? You know, it was such a blessing from you as you said, I'm acting, and you went from let's say that movie wasn't a lot of money, right, but it showed your skill. Now you're Exactlyrio. Yeah, that's great, that's real shit. I mean, you got to work your area.

00:19:09
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

00:19:10
Speaker 3: I think people want what they want so fast without doing the work. They want the glory. They don't want to do the stuff that is creating the story for the glory. You feel what I'm saying, Like, I want to do the work. I'm a student. I'm never above learning, you feel me. So it's just like I'm a student even when i'm teaching, you know. So it's just like that's my mindset and understanding. And I think that's probably at New York shit too, Like, yo, nam do this, my nigga, See what's going on?

00:19:35
Speaker 2: Get you get where I want to be.

00:19:36
Speaker 3: Then start calling some shots and you know, making some noiseble boom boom, But you gotta gotta do that first before you can do this.

00:19:43
Speaker 1: You just got to know how to work your area.

00:19:44
Speaker 4: Man, it's a great sill blessing at fifteen. Yeah, the sweet tender age of fifteen. You coreograph Beyonce is ringing along VI? What was that? How did that?

Speaker 3: And this is you know, this is when I was rolling around with the big hair, the fitted cap. You already know you know what I'm saying.

00:20:10
Speaker 5: So so they called me because I was outside battle on everybody, like it was up for everybody.

00:20:16
Speaker 3: So it's like they called me to come and do it, but you already know the haller me like I'm about to throw a wow of this ship in there.

00:20:21
Speaker 2: Like it was like, yo, she had one job. She just wanted to learn the chicken noodle soup.

00:20:26
Speaker 3: And I went in there and I was ready, Like I wasn't Like, I was like everybody, I'm ready to work. Let's go with a woman she just started dying labn She's like, oh yeah, she's a star, like I was.

You doing all that ship on that oh yeah, And I'd be like, that's that hall.

00:25:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:25:20
Speaker 1: We used to be on the on the scaffoles doing that.

00:25:24
Speaker 3: When I'm in battle Mold like, especially in the years, like I don't like feeling like people playing with me a little bit, and I feel like people would come around like my table and try and like start dancing. I gotta let you know, because you can't do no pull ups. You from the years you can't do no. H we got scaffoles on the block everywhere we go.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: Now, I've seen that ship one time. I was like, yo, this girl crazy, like this ship out of control. Like I said, you're a triple through that.

00:25:56
Speaker 3: Like I had every stage like in my life, like Miami was like my young twenties, but like as a mom and like just super grown, like I'm so.

00:26:07
Speaker 2: Chill.

00:26:08
Speaker 3: I'll be chilling as a mom, but I'm still ready to battle whatever because I'll be feeling like people be trying me but.

00:26:15
Speaker 2: I can't even go.

00:26:16
Speaker 3: I've been to a strip club where the girls didn't even want to dance around me. Yeah, but it was the sweetest because it wasn't like a battle thing like in the club is when people trying try it. But it got to a place where like it went from people in the battle to now people don't even want to like dancing for me.

00:26:35
Speaker 1: The girls like, oh my.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: God, go you be dancing down. I feel crazy. I'm like, girl, this is this is job, not even bro.

00:26:42
Speaker 1: You're killing it.

00:26:43
Speaker 3: You feel me because y'all be doing ship that. I'm like, bitch, yes get it, you know what I'm saying. So it's like I don't want people to see me and be intimidated. You know what I'm saying, Like y'all are beautiful, y'all killing it, and they just be like start poplogging this.

00:26:56
Speaker 2: Y'all was like bab a lot pop idn't always heal that, you know, you you with you at your videos where they they did, so they come to be in your video and then they nobody want to see that ship, right They come up in there and start popping like you were like, yo, my man. We looking for the like a vibe like they know when they start doing the other dance you like, yo my man, like you know we this ain't that type of party right here. It's crazy.

00:27:27
Speaker 1: You know.

00:27:28
Speaker 2: The one time I've seen some ship like that was we was at the ruck and we brought Ai and they didn't want to check him. He's the only player NBA player I ever seen at the Rutger that they would not deal him up. They didn't want to d up Ai.

00:27:45
Speaker 7: Like.

00:27:45
Speaker 2: He came out there and nobody wanted to deal him up. They was playing him for far like almost like the strippers don't want to dance around you where ay I came out there started going like they was like nobody wanted to be embarrassed on camera or nothing like that. He was just hop into the rim. Nobody played defense on them. I've seen that ship before.

00:28:05
Speaker 4: Escape Room is an album in a short film, Walker's Through the Process, Walkers Through.

00:28:12
Speaker 2: I mean you told us we got to hear everything. You gotta hear.

00:28:15
Speaker 3: It's like going to the movies and happen to P. You know, you lead the P you might miss you feel me like we won't be able.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: To pause to Joe and Jakes. You got sometimes you gotta pause. You know, you gotta keep drinking that water. That ship run through the system. Man, you know what water is good for you some reason. I ain't pee as much with dia PEPSI. Man, now I'm drinking the whole bitch of water. I'm in the fucking bathroom wall day, filter in your filter waterworks. Nah.

00:28:47
Speaker 3: But like real shit, it's like it's an experience and it's like it's one thing leads into another versus like Okay, then listen to a few.

00:28:54
Speaker 2: Songs and then I'm gonna go connect it.

00:28:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like when people listen, it's like an audio movie, like even without the movie attached, Like listening to the album, it's like an audio movie. So it's one of them things where it's like I want people to receive it and really listen to it. When it got some real times, don't rush into my you joy.

00:29:10
Speaker 2: Riding the work like.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: You feel me And like I said, it will create a lot of healthy dialogue. I think I think it's important, you know, to create those safe spaces and have an album that's not a whole bunch of pointing of the fingers and you know, different things like that. So the process is dope. And then once you see the movie with it, it's just like, oh, yeah, this is insane.

00:29:34
Speaker 2: I got a personal question, right, Uh the first album produced by the Icon yay easy? Right? What was that process like working with this man? Because I want it there to make a song? You want a song, I brought a whole other song.

00:29:54
Speaker 4: On that song.

00:29:55
Speaker 2: It's like, listen me eighty seven the song is it? I had a song it's called Pride and Joey I did with with Kanye, but he went it called Kiss Bust the dish. The point is, you know what's crazy? Then had me later hook for Pride and Joy.

00:30:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, I told you now, that's eighty five more eighty six to that Yo, the craziest.

00:30:19
Speaker 2: I like that song. Yeah, but I want to be doing that song. Listen. I do the another round with with Chris Brown. The ship is out of control, popping. You know this game. You need to be on a roll sometimes. You know. When I was young, I was just say what you want. I was just throwing our hits so much. I gave Jo Ruhl New York. I was just I felt like it was hit Mainia, Like there's no way I could stop. Everything I did was a hit number one. Then you get to that motherfucking gray every I'm like, no, I'm telling you, I'm pulling them out. Just everything up out. I know what's gone, it's gone. I'm putting our hits. Then you get to that little stumble were you try and catch that ship again. That ain't easy. Fact. I go in the studio with Chris Brown. We got another one, right, so now I make right, so we make another one after that. I swear to god, it was a smash ship and Kanye Yo, let me work on that record. He changed the whole fucking record. He made it like everybody. We had another one. I had another one coming right after the Chris Brown ship like another one, like I had one, and he switched the whole ship up. So I know, the one time I work with him, I know what he did to meat. What was that process like working with him on the whole album even though the project was came out incredible.

00:32:02
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

00:32:03
Speaker 3: Definitely feel like, you know, KTSC was like some of his best work and he's amazing, but like what he did was gonna love me, and it was like that Nigga was in a whole nother duffel, you know what I'm saying, Like what he did and that's why I say, like some of his best work, that shit is just like incredible, you know. And I think because it was that incredible that I think it became the both of ours versus.

00:32:30
Speaker 1: A my thing, you know, like a me thing.

00:32:34
Speaker 3: I think he was, you know, and as a creative even now looking at it, like being as I do everything for everybody, like this was a passion project for him.

00:32:43
Speaker 1: I think he was very very very very proud of it.

00:32:46
Speaker 3: And I think that in that moment of being so proud, it's like he was living in that moment and I don't think he thought about everything else that was also a part of that moment. You feel what I'm saying, because if it was up to me, like dropping that shit right after fade would have been insane, you feel what I'm saying.

00:33:07
Speaker 1: But I definitely think that it was a This project.

00:33:10
Speaker 3: Was his baby, and he treated it as such, you know what I'm saying. And I think both of us like he was like, yeah, cause you're going baby yao me. So I think both of us being like the super creatives that we are. I think that like in that in that moment, from one creative to another creative, like we both it's like, Okay, I get that, you grab up.

00:33:31
Speaker 2: This is a problem moment for me to But it was just a lot.

00:33:34
Speaker 1: Of that, you know what I'm saying.

00:33:37
Speaker 3: But I think it's an amazing project and I think it's a life changer, And it's just like that was that was the time to be alive.

00:33:44
Speaker 1: You just had to just had to be there, you know what I'm saying.

00:33:47
Speaker 3: And now even today, like I cut so much more crazy, Like I give so much more grace because it's just like people go through stuff, you know what I'm saying. And I think all he ever wanted to do was create, you know, and I know that feeling of just wanting to create, and I think those seven albums allowed him to just create without any of the extra shit.

00:34:14
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying.

00:34:15
Speaker 3: So at that point, it was block everybody out and he showed up for hisself, and I think that's amazing, you know what I'm saying. I think we always talk about who's being selfish or whatever, but it's like, you know what, show for yourself because it all still helped us in a way, you know what I'm saying. I would have preferred it to move differently and to roll out to be handled differently because I am the baby and I am the girl. So it's just like, you know, out of everybody, I've been waiting the longest, you know what I'm saying, Like everybody else here is consistent with their music. I don't have consistent music. So I needed you to pour into like continue on the passion of it. He was passionate, like knowing you killed these fucking beasts. Now'll be passionate about this roll out and understand that you know we're in this together.

00:34:59
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

00:35:01
Speaker 2: I got a ticket, slights, you're on some bullshit with the Green Watch with the Green Louis with the acted what type of smoke you can't when you wanted all the sooke today? Like what the fuck? I'm looking at the Green Watch with the Louise like you acting up out here? Man, that's how you feel. That's how you feel, according to a guess, Yeah, that's right.

You ain't no swine, There ain't no puking mo fulk, no hamn in my pan you know what I'm saying. I don't know what you say. I don't know. Listen, your Big Tea performance.

00:56:08
Speaker 4: A long time was characorized as futuristic.

00:56:11
Speaker 2: For me, you might be like the second to Michael Jackson.

00:56:17
Speaker 4: How much you rehearse and how much you prepared for live performances. Me watching you, I see you all over. I see when you're getting ready to do a tour. You're getting ready to do something just like you're doing an unlimited amount of dancing rehearsing, And how do.

00:56:35
Speaker 2: What is it with that? Do you take that even more seriously?

00:56:39
Speaker 1: Take that so serious?

00:56:41
Speaker 3: Because honestly, if I could like record the album and then press the button that takes me straight on tour and I don't have to do as radio everything that comes with all that shit, I would. I would go on tour for the rest of my life. I love to perform live, and I love to rehearse. I'll rehearse my dances like I can dance like twelve thirty hours straight, like still Gold, you.

00:57:05
Speaker 1: Know what I mean, Like I would just I can just do that all day. And That's also why I'm so toned. Like I'd be sold. I'd be so ripped on you.

00:57:14
Speaker 2: Are you boring back? Yeah? You just boring six No, I was.

00:57:19
Speaker 3: I used to come up with a ninja turtle. You know, he had the little punch with a six pack on top of it. Girl ship, I was a ninja turtle. I never had a muscle in my life. We talked about it.

00:57:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in the gym two times a day, trainers and everything and couldn't make a muscle. I don't know. I'm not the fire.

00:57:40
Speaker 1: You could have got paid to get that muscle too. You could have got paid the millie to get the muscle.

00:57:46
Speaker 2: Who she get it from?

00:57:47
Speaker 3: Mom?

00:57:47
Speaker 2: From you or from that where she gets the genetics from. I'm not asking you who York.

00:57:55
Speaker 3: New York now, but my mom My mom has been heavy into fitness, like at it at a young age.

00:58:00
Speaker 2: You know your gras both big better than ever. But let me tell you something right in the order. Like you know, I'm a big basketball fan, and in order for someone to become the MVP or to win the championship, it's a certain level. Like that's why you see all these guys breaking their achilles and all that. It's another like you gotta be faster than everybody. You got to go another level. You got to train another level, like to get to that to the chip. And then when I watch your performances for no reason, you'll be like you're jumping the heir like it ain't enough. Like for you, it's like, yo, it's like you got so much built in the energy that I believe you train your dances because I see you outwork them. And that's very rare, you know, because the dances they supposed to, you know, help out the artists. You know, some certain artists need a lot to help you.

00:59:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I also think that artists don't other artists are they don't choreograph for themselves.

00:59:07
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm the dancer and the choreographer, you know what I'm saying. So it's just like, yo, this is what we're doing. This is how it was going down. And me, I just I love to dance.

00:59:15
Speaker 2: I love to I just thought of one jay that is you have a battle Chris Brown behind the scenes at a show with something.

00:59:24
Speaker 3: It's never been a battle, but go behind the scenes, it goes down like it's just always dancing. But the thing about we be so in sync, it's never a battle. It's always like if he moved this way, then we both moving that way, and then we catch it and then we just like in our own little world.

00:59:38
Speaker 1: There's a lot of videos of us like literally doing that, Like we dance all day. Like it's people be tired of us.

00:59:45
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, fucking dancing motherfuckers, Like sit down, you know what I'm saying, But.

00:59:49
Speaker 1: Like we literally do that shit like all day.

00:59:51
Speaker 3: We hype each other up, you knowee what I'm saying, Like it's not there's no like we're not competitive toward one another.

00:59:57
Speaker 7: And I think us coming up together, you know, we would like to see the videos, the footage some day of you and Chris going because thank you brother, no alien tall, no.

01:00:12
Speaker 2: Crazy, they think I'm a basket now.

01:00:14
Speaker 1: I definitely think that the world deserve that moment.

01:00:18
Speaker 3: They deserve that moment from us. They deserve a stern dance number gotta be insane. That would be nuts.

01:00:28
Speaker 4: With Escape Room coming out in August, what's next feed of course, the surgery.

01:00:34
Speaker 3: How long is the healing well, I mean the first two weeks, I just gotta I gotta shut up, I gotta be quiet, and then the third week I'll go into back into like training to make sure doing therapy.

01:00:45
Speaker 1: On mine lovocal cords after that, So we're probably.

01:00:49
Speaker 3: In January because then I got to get ready for one battle after another September twenty sixth coming. Then I got All's Fair coming, and then I got Ripped coming with Matt Damon and the afflet. You know, just it's just it's a lot back to back to back to back, and then I'm thinking tour maybe like January February, and then oh, I'm about to direct my first feature film called get Lights on the get Light culture and all of them my first like feature film as director.

01:01:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, so and that too. So yeah, that's that's crazy.

01:01:29
Speaker 4: What advice would you give to somebody trying to do what you did on something remotely close to they want to sing dance produced? You know, if you just bumped into a young tea right now, and.

01:01:43
Speaker 3: I mean I bump into two young as that come to me all the time asking me that question and not tell them to be true to yourself. And I know that shit sound you know, gimmicky or whatever they call it, like yeah, generic, because people say, man, we're for Rell.

01:02:01
Speaker 1: Don't tell me, never give up. We're in for real, I'm trying to get signed. You feel me. So it's just like I like to be real with people and.

01:02:09
Speaker 2: Transparent.

01:02:11
Speaker 1: To Joe's point, like I'm a manifesto. You feel what I'm saying.

01:02:15
Speaker 3: So you gotta manifest what you want, and you got to say what you want and you gotta pray on what you want and you gotta believe that that's what it's going to be.

01:02:21
Speaker 1: It's the faith walk.

01:02:22
Speaker 3: I tell everybody, walk that walk. Walk that walk, and it ain't gonna be a straight one, you know what I'm saying. Like, it's going to be rocks and shit that's gonna be thrown and you know, you might run into a deer.

01:02:34
Speaker 1: You might.

01:02:34
Speaker 3: It's just there's a lot of shit going on, but you got to keep that faith walk going. And that's what I tell him, like, and it's just it's important. It's not never give up. It's not boo boom boom, because we have our times to be like fuck all this shit.

01:02:46
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. You feel what I'm saying. So I'm not about to tell you to do that.

01:02:49
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, But I do want to tell you to believe and and and have those conversations with God. That's the only real like bets you need to make you know what I'm saying, and understanding that she's not gonna be thrown in your lap. And the number one thing is don't take none of this shit personal. My mom told me that a long time ago, because I coming in at fifteen, I took everything personal. That's why I was robie. Because I'm in survival mode, I'm taking it personal.

01:03:17
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

01:03:18
Speaker 3: Like I got mouths to feed, people to take care of. I'm taking this shit serious. You know what I'm saying. And ain't shit shaken. So how I'm gonna shake this table? You know what I'm saying. But my mama tell me, don't take this shit personal. It's a wicked business. And when you stop taking shit personal, you'll feel a lot better. So now being back on my terms, don't take nothing personal, and I feel a lot better. And I'm glowing and I'm continuing to grow and I'm doing my things cause I don't take shit personal.

01:03:47
Speaker 4: That being said, get ready for the Escape Room project. Let's get into one of these banger's courtesy of Seanna Taylor only on the Joe and Jaydens.
