stevie j has fallen off?
I say stevie j is more relevant

2
00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:07,940
stevie j has fallen off?
I say stevie j is more relevant
than he was in the '90s.

3
00:00:07,942 --> 00:00:09,108
I say stevie j is more relevant
than he was in the '90s.
Yeah, people said when

4
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:10,642
than he was in the '90s.
Yeah, people said when
"love & hip hop" started that I

5
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:12,027
yeah, people said when
"love & hip hop" started that I
didn't have much going on.

6
00:00:12,029 --> 00:00:13,362
"love & hip hop" started that I
didn't have much going on.
The fact of the matter is,

7
00:00:13,364 --> 00:00:14,146
didn't have much going on.
The fact of the matter is,
they're right.

8
00:00:14,148 --> 00:00:15,481
The fact of the matter is,
they're right.
That's why I wanted to do

9
00:00:15,483 --> 00:00:16,281
they're right.
That's why I wanted to do
something new.

10
00:00:16,283 --> 00:00:17,783
That's why I wanted to do
something new.
I didn't want to do the music no

11
00:00:17,785 --> 00:00:18,200
something new.
I didn't want to do the music no
more.

12
00:00:18,202 --> 00:00:19,485
I didn't want to do the music no
more.
I wanted to just dive into

13
00:00:19,487 --> 00:00:20,235
more.
I wanted to just dive into
something new.

14
00:00:20,237 --> 00:00:22,204
I wanted to just dive into
something new.
So I said I want to create

15
00:00:22,206 --> 00:00:24,490
something new.
So I said I want to create
shock-value tv, and that's what

16
00:00:24,492 --> 00:00:25,157
so I said I want to create
shock-value tv, and that's what
I did.

17
00:00:25,159 --> 00:00:27,159
Shock-value tv, and that's what
I did.
You know, I never was one to

18
00:00:27,161 --> 00:00:29,161
I did.
You know, I never was one to
care what anybody had to say

19
00:00:29,163 --> 00:00:31,046
you know, I never was one to
care what anybody had to say
about me, because whatever

20
00:00:31,048 --> 00:00:33,032
care what anybody had to say
about me, because whatever
people say doesn't change my

21
00:00:33,034 --> 00:00:34,133
about me, because whatever
people say doesn't change my
bank account.

22
00:00:34,135 --> 00:00:36,201
People say doesn't change my
bank account.
I could care less 'cause they're

23
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:38,170
bank account.
I could care less 'cause they're
not stopping me from feeding my

00:00:38,172 --> 00:00:38,470
I could care less 'cause they're

Man, six kids without a wife,

I was born in utica, new york,

59
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:15,300
care.
I was born in utica, new york,
and unfortunately my mom took me

60
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:17,336
I was born in utica, new york,
and unfortunately my mom took me
and my brothers, the six of us,

61
00:02:17,338 --> 00:02:19,404
and unfortunately my mom took me
and my brothers, the six of us,
while my dad was on the road --

62
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:21,440
and my brothers, the six of us,
while my dad was on the road --
he's a gospel singer -- so when

63
00:02:21,442 --> 00:02:23,408
while my dad was on the road --
he's a gospel singer -- so when
he came back, he had realized

64
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:25,527
he's a gospel singer -- so when
he came back, he had realized
that we were gone and my mom had

65
00:02:25,529 --> 00:02:27,112
he came back, he had realized
that we were gone and my mom had
moved us to rochester.

66
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:28,864
That we were gone and my mom had
moved us to rochester.
So when my dad found us in

67
00:02:28,866 --> 00:02:30,782
moved us to rochester.
So when my dad found us in
rochester, my mom basically,

68
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,835
so when my dad found us in
rochester, my mom basically,
like, "yo, if you can take care

69
00:02:32,837 --> 00:02:34,753
rochester, my mom basically,
like, "yo, if you can take care
of them, you can have them."

70
00:02:34,755 --> 00:02:36,872
like, "yo, if you can take care
of them, you can have them."
so I stayed there for 17 years.

71
00:02:36,874 --> 00:02:39,007
Of them, you can have them."
so I stayed there for 17 years.
My dad raised us without a wife

72
00:02:39,009 --> 00:02:40,843
so I stayed there for 17 years.
My dad raised us without a wife
until I was 13, and he got

73
00:02:40,845 --> 00:02:41,627
my dad raised us without a wife
until I was 13, and he got
married.

74
00:02:41,629 --> 00:02:43,962
Until I was 13, and he got
married.
And I don't really know the

75
00:02:43,964 --> 00:02:46,181
married.
And I don't really know the
answer why my mother left.

76
00:02:46,183 --> 00:02:47,799
And I don't really know the
answer why my mother left.
I never questioned that.

77
00:02:47,801 --> 00:02:49,852
Answer why my mother left.
I never questioned that.
You know, I heard a lot of

78
00:02:49,854 --> 00:02:52,137
I never questioned that.
You know, I heard a lot of
things, but I never really got

79
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:54,306
you know, I heard a lot of
things, but I never really got
into that because I figure I

80
00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:56,475
things, but I never really got
into that because I figure I
didn't know then, so it's no

81
00:02:56,477 --> 00:02:58,227
into that because I figure I
didn't know then, so it's no
need for me to open up

82
00:02:58,229 --> 00:03:01,980
didn't know then, so it's no
need for me to open up
pandora's box now.

83
00:03:01,982 --> 00:03:04,316
Need for me to open up
pandora's box now.
My mom wasn't present when I was

84
00:03:04,318 --> 00:03:05,317
pandora's box now.
My mom wasn't present when I was
growing up.

85
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:06,902
My mom wasn't present when I was
growing up.
I believe I went to alabama.

86
00:03:06,904 --> 00:03:08,620
Growing up.
I believe I went to alabama.
My dad took us all on a family

87
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:09,905
I believe I went to alabama.
My dad took us all on a family
vacation along with my

88
00:03:09,907 --> 00:03:10,656
my dad took us all on a family
vacation along with my
stepmother.

89
00:03:10,658 --> 00:03:12,291
Vacation along with my
stepmother.
My stepmother was really -- I

90
00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:13,792
stepmother.
My stepmother was really -- I
saw her one time when I was

91
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:14,493
my stepmother was really -- I
saw her one time when I was
growing up.

92
00:03:14,495 --> 00:03:16,995
Saw her one time when I was
growing up.
But my stepmom, roselyn, she did

93
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:19,164
growing up.
But my stepmom, roselyn, she did
an amazing job with us, you

94
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:19,831
but my stepmom, roselyn, she did
an amazing job with us, you
know?

95
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,800
An amazing job with us, you
know?
But my mom wasn't really

96
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:22,668
know?
But my mom wasn't really
present.

97
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:25,170
But my mom wasn't really
present.
We didn't develop a relationship

98
00:03:25,172 --> 00:03:27,639
present.
We didn't develop a relationship
until about eight or nine years

99
00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:28,223
we didn't develop a relationship
until about eight or nine years
ago.

100
00:03:28,225 --> 00:03:32,311
Until about eight or nine years
ago.
On one father's day, joseline

101
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:33,395
ago.
On one father's day, joseline
woke me up and was like, "yo,

102
00:03:33,397 --> 00:03:34,179
on one father's day, joseline
woke me up and was like, "yo,
let's take a ride."

103
00:03:34,181 --> 00:03:35,430
woke me up and was like, "yo,
let's take a ride."
and I'm like, "where are we

104
00:03:35,432 --> 00:03:35,898
let's take a ride."
and I'm like, "where are we
going?"

105
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,099
and I'm like, "where are we
going?"
so, you know, we were in

106
00:03:37,101 --> 00:03:38,650
going?"
so, you know, we were in
atlanta at the time, and I began

107
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:40,152
so, you know, we were in
atlanta at the time, and I began
to see signs like "alabama," and

108
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:41,520
atlanta at the time, and I began
to see signs like "alabama," and
I'm like -- you know what I'm

109
00:03:41,522 --> 00:03:42,020
to see signs like "alabama," and
I'm like -- you know what I'm
saying?

110
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:42,905
I'm like -- you know what I'm
saying?
What's going on?

111
00:03:42,907 --> 00:03:45,023
Saying?
What's going on?
And so we got to a place where

112
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:47,276
what's going on?
And so we got to a place where
there was no phone service, and

113
00:03:47,278 --> 00:03:49,411
and so we got to a place where
there was no phone service, and
I'm seeing these kids playing.

114
00:03:49,413 --> 00:03:50,862
There was no phone service, and
I'm seeing these kids playing.
I'm like, "yo, I bet they know

115
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:51,997
I'm seeing these kids playing.
I'm like, "yo, I bet they know
where my moms live at."

116
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:52,915
I'm like, "yo, I bet they know
where my moms live at."
she's like, "I bet you a

117
00:03:52,917 --> 00:03:53,615
where my moms live at."
she's like, "I bet you a
thousand dollars.

118
00:03:53,617 --> 00:03:54,700
She's like, "I bet you a
thousand dollars.
Nobody know where your mother

119
00:03:54,702 --> 00:03:55,167
thousand dollars.
Nobody know where your mother
live at."

120
00:03:55,169 --> 00:03:56,501
nobody know where your mother
live at."
I'm like, "yo!

121
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:57,536
Live at."
I'm like, "yo!
You know where my moms live?"

122
00:03:57,538 --> 00:03:58,370
I'm like, "yo!
You know where my moms live?"
they're like, "stevie!

123
00:03:58,372 --> 00:03:59,454
You know where my moms live?"
they're like, "stevie!
Oh, she live right down here!"

124
00:03:59,456 --> 00:04:01,506
they're like, "stevie!
Oh, she live right down here!"
so, you know, after that moment,

125
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:03,425
oh, she live right down here!"
so, you know, after that moment,
me and my mom speak every day,

126
00:04:03,427 --> 00:04:05,093
so, you know, after that moment,
me and my mom speak every day,
four or five times a day.

127
00:04:05,095 --> 00:04:06,712
Me and my mom speak every day,
four or five times a day.
She's like the love of my life.

128
00:04:06,714 --> 00:04:11,883
Four or five times a day.
She's like the love of my life.
That's my heart.

129
00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:15,137
She's like the love of my life.
That's my heart.
Having my dad present my entire

130
00:04:15,139 --> 00:04:18,807
that's my heart.
Having my dad present my entire
life means the world to me

131
00:04:18,809 --> 00:04:21,226
having my dad present my entire
life means the world to me
because nine times out of 10 the

132
00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:23,528
life means the world to me
because nine times out of 10 the
father's the one that's gonna

133
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:25,147
because nine times out of 10 the
father's the one that's gonna
bail out on the mom.

134
00:04:25,149 --> 00:04:26,865
Father's the one that's gonna
bail out on the mom.
My dad found us all in

135
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:29,151

309
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:32,837
I got kicked out of my high
school, bennett, in buffalo.
'cause I told you my brothers

310
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:34,289
school, bennett, in buffalo.
'cause I told you my brothers
and sisters were going to

'cause I told you my brothers
and sisters were going to

312
00:09:35,709 --> 00:09:37,425
and sisters were going to
buffalo state, u.B., and
daemen college, so I used to be

313
00:09:37,427 --> 00:09:39,094
buffalo state, u.B., and
daemen college, so I used to be
like, "yo, we could go to all

314
00:09:39,096 --> 00:09:40,879
daemen college, so I used to be
like, "yo, we could go to all
these talent shows and win these

315
00:09:40,881 --> 00:09:41,463
like, "yo, we could go to all
these talent shows and win these
joints.

can do this."

318
00:09:44,768 --> 00:09:46,551
I'll sing and y'all play, and we
can do this."
so as we would win every talent

319
00:09:46,553 --> 00:09:48,219
can do this."
so as we would win every talent
show in town and all that, I

320
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:49,788
so as we would win every talent
show in town and all that, I
would deal with, like, the

321
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:51,273
show in town and all that, I
would deal with, like, the
seniors in college or the

00:09:51,275 --> 00:09:52,891
would deal with, like, the
seniors in college or the
juniors in college, and they

323
00:09:52,893 --> 00:09:54,442
seniors in college or the
juniors in college, and they
used to open my ears up to

324
00:09:54,444 --> 00:09:56,061
juniors in college, and they
used to open my ears up to
lalah hathaway and babyface

used to open my ears up to

Jimmy jam and terry lewis
catalog.

329
00:10:01,318 --> 00:10:03,368
Jimmy jam and terry lewis
catalog.
And I'm like, "I could really do

330
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:04,286
catalog.
And I'm like, "I could really do
this stuff."

331
00:10:04,288 --> 00:10:11,159
and I'm like, "I could really do
this stuff."
so I believe my r and b catalog

332
00:10:11,161 --> 00:10:12,877
this stuff."
so I believe my r and b catalog
was opened up by all those older

333
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:14,412
so I believe my r and b catalog
was opened up by all those older
women I was dating in college

334
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:16,081
was opened up by all those older
women I was dating in college
that were going to college when

335
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:20,969
women I was dating in college
that were going to college when
I was in high school.

336
00:10:20,971 --> 00:10:22,587
That were going to college when
I was in high school.
I was working at mcdonald's and

337
00:10:22,589 --> 00:10:23,688
I was in high school.
I was working at mcdonald's and
I was working at the

338
00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:25,190
I was working at mcdonald's and
I was working at the
hampton inn, and I was doing

339
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:26,691
I was working at the
hampton inn, and I was doing
some other things I shouldn't

340
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:28,259
hampton inn, and I was doing
some other things I shouldn't
have been doing just so I could

341
00:10:28,261 --> 00:10:29,761
some other things I shouldn't
have been doing just so I could
get me a studio.

342
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:31,179
Have been doing just so I could
get me a studio.
So I ended up getting some

343
00:10:31,181 --> 00:10:33,431
get me a studio.
So I ended up getting some
equipment, right?

344
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:34,933
So I ended up getting some
equipment, right?
But I never got a drum machine.

345
00:10:34,935 --> 00:10:36,935
Equipment, right?
But I never got a drum machine.
I didn't have the bread to get

346
00:10:36,937 --> 00:10:38,186
but I never got a drum machine.
I didn't have the bread to get
the drum machine.

347
00:10:38,188 --> 00:10:40,071
I didn't have the bread to get
the drum machine.
So I would have to play the

348
00:10:40,073 --> 00:10:42,107
the drum machine.
So I would have to play the
track down by hand, the drums.

349
00:10:42,109 --> 00:10:43,491
So I would have to play the
track down by hand, the drums.
Whatever I think about, I had to

350
00:10:43,493 --> 00:10:44,776
track down by hand, the drums.
Whatever I think about, I had to
just play it all the way down

351
00:10:44,778 --> 00:10:45,910
whatever I think about, I had to
just play it all the way down
for like 3 1/2, 4 minutes.

352
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:47,829
Just play it all the way down
for like 3 1/2, 4 minutes.
So if I messed up, I had to do

353
00:10:47,831 --> 00:10:48,780
for like 3 1/2, 4 minutes.
So if I messed up, I had to do
it all over.

354
00:10:48,782 --> 00:10:50,832
So if I messed up, I had to do
it all over.
So when I completed my first

355
00:10:50,834 --> 00:10:53,118
it all over.
So when I completed my first
track, I was like, "yo, this is

356
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,286
so when I completed my first
track, I was like, "yo, this is

what I'm gonna do for the rest
of my life."

358
00:10:56,957 --> 00:10:59,190
what I'm gonna do for the rest
of my life."
it's like you have to compose

359
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:00,959
of my life."
it's like you have to compose
from air, from nothing.

360
00:11:00,961 --> 00:11:03,094
It's like you have to compose
from air, from nothing.
And to be able to manifest a

from air, from nothing.
And to be able to manifest a
record out of nothing, I said,

362
00:11:05,298 --> 00:11:06,881
and to be able to manifest a
record out of nothing, I said,
"I know this is what I'm gonna

"I know this is what I'm gonna
do for the rest of my life."
I just knew it.

00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:31,829
piano first and starting with a
melody there, I'll do that, or I
might plug up the acoustic

532
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:34,382
melody there, I'll do that, or I
might plug up the acoustic
guitar and start there.

533
00:15:34,384 --> 00:15:36,834
Might plug up the acoustic
guitar and start there.
But the process always begins

534
00:15:36,836 --> 00:15:38,586
guitar and start there.
But the process always begins
with an instrument.

535
00:15:38,588 --> 00:15:40,004
But the process always begins
with an instrument.
I know a lot of producers

536
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:41,673
with an instrument.
I know a lot of producers
typically start with a drum beat

537
00:15:41,675 --> 00:15:42,507
I know a lot of producers
typically start with a drum beat
or whatever.

538
00:15:42,509 --> 00:15:43,641
Typically start with a drum beat
or whatever.
I start with a melody.

539
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:45,243
Or whatever.
I start with a melody.
Whatever melody that I'm feeling

540
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:46,678
I start with a melody.
Whatever melody that I'm feeling
inside my heart and my spirit,

541
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,229
whatever melody that I'm feeling
inside my heart and my spirit,
that's what I start, that's how

542
00:15:48,231 --> 00:15:49,180
inside my heart and my spirit,
that's what I start, that's how
I begin.

543
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,598
That's what I start, that's how
I begin.
You know, and I start, really,

544
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,983

You know, and I start, really,
with the drums last because I

545
00:15:51,985 --> 00:15:53,351
you know, and I start, really,

want to make sure that you can

546
00:15:53,353 --> 00:15:54,852

want to make sure that you can
feel -- you have a soulful feel

547
00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:56,738
want to make sure that you can
feel -- you have a soulful feel
to the track, which I believe is

548
00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:58,489
feel -- you have a soulful feel
to the track, which I believe is
missing in the music nowadays

549
00:15:58,491 --> 00:16:00,241
to the track, which I believe is
missing in the music nowadays
because it's everybody making

550
00:16:00,243 --> 00:16:00,858
missing in the music nowadays
because it's everybody making
tracks.

551
00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:02,493
Because it's everybody making
tracks.
My grandmother's making tracks

552
00:16:02,495 --> 00:16:04,028
tracks.
My grandmother's making tracks
on fruityloops and all that.

553
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:05,613
My grandmother's making tracks
on fruityloops and all that.
Everybody's making tracks, and

554
00:16:05,615 --> 00:16:07,198
on fruityloops and all that.
Everybody's making tracks, and
nobody's putting soul in their

555
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:07,699
everybody's making tracks, and
nobody's putting soul in their
music.

556
00:16:07,701 --> 00:16:09,250
Nobody's putting soul in their
music.
So, you know, got to have that

557
00:16:09,252 --> 00:16:13,454
music.
So, you know, got to have that
soul in the music.

00:16:13,456 --> 00:16:15,123
So, you know, got to have that
soul in the music.
Do I remember my first hit?

559
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:16,841
Soul in the music.
Do I remember my first hit?
I believe it was something I

rodney jerkins.

562
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:20,762
Coproduced with puffy and

It was this girl named

It was this girl named
gina thompson.

00:16:21,715 --> 00:16:23,881
It was this girl named
gina thompson.
I was just watching, you know,

565
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:26,134

I was just watching, you know,

I was just watching, you know,
because I was just excited to be
amongst these great producers

567
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:30,488
because I was just excited to be
amongst these great producers
and writers and artists, so that

568
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:32,190
amongst these great producers
and writers and artists, so that
session was pretty much

569
00:16:32,192 --> 00:16:34,392
and writers and artists, so that
session was pretty much
rodney -- I was watching rodney

570
00:16:34,394 --> 00:16:36,561

rodney -- I was watching rodney
create the track.

571
00:16:36,563 --> 00:16:38,229
Rodney -- I was watching rodney
create the track.
And then he would ask me to add

572
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:39,897
create the track.
And then he would ask me to add
certain musical things to it,

573
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:41,566
and then he would ask me to add
certain musical things to it,
and he would add musical things

574
00:16:41,568 --> 00:16:42,116

575
00:16:42,118 --> 00:16:44,035
And he would add musical things
to it.
And then we called gina thompson

576
00:16:44,037 --> 00:16:44,736
to it.
And then we called gina thompson
in there.

577
00:16:44,738 --> 00:16:46,404
And then we called gina thompson
in there.
She did her vocal, and puffy

578
00:16:46,406 --> 00:16:47,622
in there.
She did her vocal, and puffy
produced her vocal.

579
00:16:47,624 --> 00:16:49,073
She did her vocal, and puffy
produced her vocal.
See, one thing about puffy, he

580
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:50,575

See, one thing about puffy, he
doesn't play instruments, but he

doesn't play instruments, but he
knows what he wants to hear.

00:16:51,911 --> 00:16:53,578

knows what he wants to hear.
Just watching the process, that

583
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:55,380

Just watching the process, that
was really like my first time in

all right, the first one was
for all the hard work and

Going to the grammys, and I

Going to the grammys, and I
remember we all had on

we were gonna win.
And when they said the winner

00:20:33,716 --> 00:20:37,301
we were gonna win.
And when they said the winner
was puff daddy for "no way out,"

700
00:20:37,303 --> 00:20:39,637
and when they said the winner
was puff daddy for "no way out,"
I was actually in the hallway

was puff daddy for "no way out,"
I was actually in the hallway
arguing with my baby mama at the

damn stage.
But to hold that grammy in my

705
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:52,650
damn stage.
But to hold that grammy in my
hand and to be able to take it

706
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:58,072
but to hold that grammy in my
hand and to be able to take it
home made me feel like I had

off when I got that first
grammy.

00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:16,540
Off when I got that first
grammy.

was dating her.

was dating her.
Gave it to her, right?

Was dating her.
Gave it to her, right?
I ended up writing her song to

I ended up writing her song to
get a grammy for that joint.

00:27:57,426 --> 00:27:59,760
open up on television in those
moments that were very personal,
because I was already there.

Being on "love & hip hop"

altered the relationship I had

But being on television, that's
a whole nother thing.

Nobody wants to be looked at as,

She's getting ready to on tour.
It's cash money/ruff ryder tour.

1061
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:43,450
She's getting ready to on tour.
It's cash money/ruff ryder tour.
"daddy, I want to take the

1062
00:31:43,452 --> 00:31:43,784
it's cash money/ruff ryder tour.
"daddy, I want to take the
tape."

1063
00:31:43,786 --> 00:31:44,918
"daddy, I want to take the
tape."
"take the tape. It's your tape."

1064
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,037
tape."
"take the tape. It's your tape."
you know what I mean?

1065
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:48,872
"take the tape. It's your tape."
you know what I mean?
Guess they're on the tour bus,

1066
00:31:48,874 --> 00:31:50,707
you know what I mean?
Guess they're on the tour bus,
they're watching the tape, and

1067
00:31:50,709 --> 00:31:52,259
guess they're on the tour bus,
they're watching the tape, and
somebody nabbed the tape.

1068
00:31:52,261 --> 00:31:53,710
They're watching the tape, and
somebody nabbed the tape.
So, boom.

1069
00:31:53,712 --> 00:31:56,713
Somebody nabbed the tape.
So, boom.
Years later now, the tape

1070
00:31:56,715 --> 00:31:58,465
so, boom.
Years later now, the tape
resurfaces.

1071
00:31:58,467 --> 00:32:00,050
Years later now, the tape
resurfaces.
I didn't have a copy of the

1072
00:32:00,052 --> 00:32:00,550
resurfaces.
I didn't have a copy of the
tape.

1073
00:32:00,552 --> 00:32:02,286
I didn't have a copy of the
tape.
Come to find out her girlfriend

1074
00:32:02,288 --> 00:32:04,054
tape.
Come to find out her girlfriend
stole the tape and was trying to

1075
00:32:04,056 --> 00:32:05,639
come to find out her girlfriend
stole the tape and was trying to
sell it, so she leaked that

1076
00:32:05,641 --> 00:32:07,391
stole the tape and was trying to
sell it, so she leaked that
little clip that you saw of the

1077
00:32:07,393 --> 00:32:09,109
sell it, so she leaked that
little clip that you saw of the
tape to try to get somebody to

1078
00:32:09,111 --> 00:32:10,694
little clip that you saw of the
tape to try to get somebody to
buy it, and eventually they

1079
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:12,396
tape to try to get somebody to
buy it, and eventually they
found her and the tape and got

1080
00:32:12,398 --> 00:32:14,114
buy it, and eventually they
found her and the tape and got
the tape, but I had nothing to

1081
00:32:14,116 --> 00:32:15,866
found her and the tape and got
the tape, but I had nothing to
do with a sex tape being leaked

1082
00:32:15,868 --> 00:32:16,450
the tape, but I had nothing to
do with a sex tape being leaked
at all.

1083
00:32:16,452 --> 00:32:18,235
Do with a sex tape being leaked
at all.
So it's like, when people say,

1084
00:32:18,237 --> 00:32:19,653
at all.
So it's like, when people say,
"oh, you leaked the"...

1085
00:32:19,655 --> 00:32:21,154
So it's like, when people say,
"oh, you leaked the"...
Ask her who had the tape.

1086
00:32:21,156 --> 00:32:25,826
"oh, you leaked the"...
Ask her who had the tape.
There was only one copy.

1087
00:32:25,828 --> 00:32:27,160
Ask her who had the tape.
There was only one copy.
I haven't spoken to eve.

1088
00:32:27,162 --> 00:32:28,412
There was only one copy.
I haven't spoken to eve.
She's happily married.

1089
00:32:28,414 --> 00:32:29,830
I haven't spoken to eve.
She's happily married.
You know what I'm saying?

1090
00:32:29,832 --> 00:32:31,465
She's happily married.
You know what I'm saying?
If she got away, she wasn't the

1091
00:32:31,467 --> 00:32:33,850
you know what I'm saying?
If she got away, she wasn't the
one.

1092
00:32:33,852 --> 00:32:35,669
If she got away, she wasn't the
one.
If we could hindsight this

1093
00:32:35,671 --> 00:32:37,804
one.
If we could hindsight this
thing, relationship with eve, I

1094
00:32:37,806 --> 00:32:39,756
if we could hindsight this
thing, relationship with eve, I
mean, if they got away, they

1095
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:40,924
thing, relationship with eve, I
mean, if they got away, they
weren't for me.

1096
00:32:40,926 --> 00:32:42,726
Mean, if they got away, they
weren't for me.
You know what I'm saying?

1097
00:32:42,728 --> 00:32:44,811
Weren't for me.
You know what I'm saying?
I think, in life, we get exactly

1098
00:32:44,813 --> 00:32:45,929
you know what I'm saying?
I think, in life, we get exactly
what's for us.

1099
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:47,931
I think, in life, we get exactly
what's for us.
The universe grants us what we

1100
00:32:47,933 --> 00:32:52,102
what's for us.
The universe grants us what we
deserve at the end of the day.

1101
00:32:52,104 --> 00:32:53,737
The universe grants us what we
deserve at the end of the day.
Would I change things, a few

1102
00:32:53,739 --> 00:32:55,272
deserve at the end of the day.
Would I change things, a few
things, in relationships, my

1103
00:32:55,274 --> 00:32:56,440
would I change things, a few
things, in relationships, my
past relationships?

1104
00:32:56,442 --> 00:32:57,941
Things, in relationships, my
past relationships?
Of course.

1105
00:32:57,943 --> 00:32:59,609
Past relationships?
Of course.
You live and you learn.

1106
00:32:59,611 --> 00:33:00,944
Of course.
You live and you learn.
You grow, right?

1107
00:33:00,946 --> 00:33:02,279
You live and you learn.
You grow, right?
That's the whole purpose of

1108
00:33:02,281 --> 00:33:05,832
you grow, right?
That's the whole purpose of
life.

1109
00:33:05,834 --> 00:33:07,784
That's the whole purpose of
life.
I'm just happy where I'm at now.

1110
00:33:07,786 --> 00:33:10,704
Life.
I'm just happy where I'm at now.
I'm glad I have what I have now.

1111
00:33:10,706 --> 00:33:12,756
I'm just happy where I'm at now.
I'm glad I have what I have now.

Before I met puffy.

1116
00:33:23,635 --> 00:33:25,769
Ago in the studio.
Before I met puffy.
I was in a session with

1117
00:33:25,771 --> 00:33:28,138
before I met puffy.
I was in a session with
peekaboo, this writer named

1118
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:30,974
I was in a session with
peekaboo, this writer named
peekaboo, and missy at the time.

1119
00:33:30,976 --> 00:33:32,225
Peekaboo, this writer named
peekaboo, and missy at the time.
And they were working with

1120
00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:33,477
peekaboo, and missy at the time.
And they were working with
faith, and we went to the

00:33:33,479 --> 00:33:35,228
and they were working with
faith, and we went to the
studio.

1122
00:33:35,230 --> 00:33:37,147
Faith, and we went to the
studio.
And I remember her song was out.

1123
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:39,649
Studio.
And I remember her song was out.
I'm like, "damn, she can sing."

1124
00:33:39,651 --> 00:33:41,068
and I remember her song was out.
I'm like, "damn, she can sing."
she got like a churchy voice or

1125
00:33:41,070 --> 00:33:41,618
I'm like, "damn, she can sing."
she got like a churchy voice or
whatever.

1126
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:42,986
She got like a churchy voice or
whatever.
And she's light-skinned and all

1127
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:43,403
whatever.
And she's light-skinned and all
that.

1128
00:33:43,405 --> 00:33:44,821
And she's light-skinned and all
that.
I tried to push up there like --

1129
00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:45,989
that.
I tried to push up there like --
"oh, she married to big."

1130
00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:47,290
I tried to push up there like --
"oh, she married to big."
I'm like, "all right, cool."

1131
00:33:47,292 --> 00:33:48,458
"oh, she married to big."
I'm like, "all right, cool."
we became like sister and

1132
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:49,826
I'm like, "all right, cool."
we became like sister and
brother at that moment 'cause I

1133
00:33:49,828 --> 00:33:51,161
we became like sister and
brother at that moment 'cause I
began talking to her, telling

1134
00:33:51,163 --> 00:33:52,629
brother at that moment 'cause I
began talking to her, telling
her, "I got a baby on the way, I

1135
00:33:52,631 --> 00:33:53,797
began talking to her, telling
her, "I got a baby on the way, I
ain't even talking to the

1136
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:54,581
her, "I got a baby on the way, I
ain't even talking to the
mother, though."

1137
00:33:54,583 --> 00:33:55,298
ain't even talking to the
mother, though."
"whoa, whoa."

1138
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,500
mother, though."
"whoa, whoa."
she's like, "no, that ain't

1139
00:33:56,502 --> 00:33:56,967
"whoa, whoa."
she's like, "no, that ain't
right.

1140
00:33:56,969 --> 00:33:58,168
She's like, "no, that ain't
right.
You should call her 'cause

1141
00:33:58,170 --> 00:33:59,503
right.
You should call her 'cause
that's still your baby woman."

1142
00:33:59,505 --> 00:34:00,921
you should call her 'cause
that's still your baby woman."
I remember that date.

1143
00:34:00,923 --> 00:34:02,305
That's still your baby woman."
I remember that date.
It was November 20th.

1144
00:34:02,307 --> 00:34:04,307
I remember that date.
It was November 20th.
The baby was born after I talked

1145
00:34:04,309 --> 00:34:05,892
it was November 20th.
The baby was born after I talked
to her, so she was right.

1146
00:34:05,894 --> 00:34:07,511
The baby was born after I talked
to her, so she was right.
You know, how did me and faith

1147
00:34:07,513 --> 00:34:09,346
to her, so she was right.
You know, how did me and faith
get together?

1148
00:34:09,348 --> 00:34:11,565
You know, how did me and faith
get together?
Man, your guess is as good as

1149
00:34:11,567 --> 00:34:12,399
get together?
Man, your guess is as good as
mine.

1150
00:34:12,401 --> 00:34:14,484
Man, your guess is as good as
mine.
You know, it was like we'd been

1151
00:34:14,486 --> 00:34:15,886
mine.
You know, it was like we'd been
friends for so long.

1152
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:17,954
You know, it was like we'd been
friends for so long.
It's like, why cross that line?

1153
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:19,940
Friends for so long.
It's like, why cross that line?
I was working on her album,

1154
00:34:19,942 --> 00:34:21,792
it's like, why cross that line?
I was working on her album,
"the king & I."

1155
00:34:21,794 --> 00:34:23,110
I was working on her album,
"the king & I."
she was doing this part in the

1156
00:34:23,112 --> 00:34:24,444
"the king & I."
she was doing this part in the
booth, she was rhyming on this

1157
00:34:24,446 --> 00:34:25,495
she was doing this part in the
booth, she was rhyming on this
one part in the booth.

1158
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:26,696
Booth, she was rhyming on this
one part in the booth.
I'm like, "yo, I'm gonna come in

1159
00:34:26,698 --> 00:34:27,781
one part in the booth.
I'm like, "yo, I'm gonna come in
there and show you how to do

1160
00:34:27,783 --> 00:34:28,081
I'm like, "yo, I'm gonna come in
there and show you how to do
it."

1161
00:34:28,083 --> 00:34:30,450
there and show you how to do
it."
you know, and I looked her and I

1162
00:34:30,452 --> 00:34:32,702
it."
you know, and I looked her and I
saw them beautiful lips, and I

1163
00:34:32,704 --> 00:34:35,956
you know, and I looked her and I
saw them beautiful lips, and I
just went for mine.

1164
00:34:35,958 --> 00:34:38,041
Saw them beautiful lips, and I
just went for mine.
Mwah!

1165
00:34:38,043 --> 00:34:40,427
Just went for mine.
Mwah!
And there it began.

1166
00:34:40,429 --> 00:34:44,464
Mwah!
And there it began.
And that's the g-rated version.

1167
00:34:44,466 --> 00:34:47,884
And there it began.
And that's the g-rated version.
♪

1168
00:34:47,886 --> 00:34:49,269
and that's the g-rated version.

it's just like, yo, every

weekend she would come and see

00:34:52,558 --> 00:34:54,107

in love with you."

1174
00:34:56,812 --> 00:34:59,062
saying, thought that I would be
in love with you."
you know what I'm saying?

1175
00:34:59,064 --> 00:35:00,730
In love with you."
you know what I'm saying?
We began a relationship, but I

1176
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:01,898
you know what I'm saying?
We began a relationship, but I
still wasn't ready.

1177
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:03,567
We began a relationship, but I
still wasn't ready.
You know, and she ain't having

1178
00:35:03,569 --> 00:35:04,734
still wasn't ready.
You know, and she ain't having
none of that [bleep]

00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:06,119
you know, and she ain't having
none of that [bleep]
you know what I'm saying?

1180
00:35:06,121 --> 00:35:08,622
None of that [bleep]
you know what I'm saying?
So she was like...

1181
00:35:08,624 --> 00:35:10,123
You know what I'm saying?
So she was like...
She was on a little trip or

1182
00:35:10,125 --> 00:35:10,791
so she was like...
She was on a little trip or
whatever.

1183
00:35:10,793 --> 00:35:12,542
She was on a little trip or
whatever.
Called her, like, "listen, leave

1184
00:35:12,544 --> 00:35:13,577
whatever.
Called her, like, "listen, leave
where you at now.

1185
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:14,244
Called her, like, "listen, leave
where you at now.
Come see me.

1186
00:35:14,246 --> 00:35:15,412
Where you at now.
Come see me.
You know what I'm saying?

1187
00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:17,714
Come see me.
You know what I'm saying?
I need to talk to you."

1188
00:35:17,716 --> 00:35:19,249
you know what I'm saying?
I need to talk to you."

00:37:24,176 --> 00:37:25,558
It took a toll on me at first,
you know?
'cause I was always used to

you know?
'cause I was always used to
being around people.

00:39:08,363 --> 00:39:08,945
I love my baby mothers.
They're not even my -- they're
my family.

1322
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:09,863
They're not even my -- they're
my family.
I love my family.

1323
00:39:09,865 --> 00:39:11,531
My family.
I love my family.
You know what I'm saying?

1324
00:39:11,533 --> 00:39:13,366
I love my family.
You know what I'm saying?
Coparenting is imperative

1325
00:39:13,368 --> 00:39:15,418
you know what I'm saying?
Coparenting is imperative
because you got to be on the

1326
00:39:15,420 --> 00:39:17,537
coparenting is imperative
because you got to be on the
same page when you're raising

1327
00:39:17,539 --> 00:39:18,171
because you got to be on the
same page when you're raising
kids.

1328
00:39:18,173 --> 00:39:20,373
Same page when you're raising
kids.
It's like a whole nother person

1329
00:39:20,375 --> 00:39:21,458
kids.
It's like a whole nother person
right there.

1330
00:39:21,460 --> 00:39:22,942
It's like a whole nother person
right there.
You know, in my older ones I see

1331
00:39:22,944 --> 00:39:24,310
right there.
You know, in my older ones I see
attitudes and all that, and I

1332
00:39:24,312 --> 00:39:25,779
you know, in my older ones I see
attitudes and all that, and I
see all the stuff that I used to

1333
00:39:25,781 --> 00:39:26,880
attitudes and all that, and I
see all the stuff that I used to
do, so I talk to them.

1334
00:39:26,882 --> 00:39:28,131
See all the stuff that I used to
do, so I talk to them.
"yo, break that chain right

1335
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:29,549
do, so I talk to them.
"yo, break that chain right
there because that's gonna end

1336
00:39:29,551 --> 00:39:30,550
"yo, break that chain right
there because that's gonna end
you somewhere else."

1337
00:39:30,552 --> 00:39:32,552
there because that's gonna end
you somewhere else."
you know what I'm saying?

1338
00:39:32,554 --> 00:39:34,721
You somewhere else."
you know what I'm saying?
So coparenting is important

1339
00:39:34,723 --> 00:39:36,973
you know what I'm saying?
So coparenting is important
because you know your child.

1340
00:39:36,975 --> 00:39:38,608
So coparenting is important
because you know your child.
The father knows the child and

1341
00:39:38,610 --> 00:39:40,110
because you know your child.
The father knows the child and
the mother knows the child.

1342
00:39:40,112 --> 00:39:41,528
The father knows the child and
the mother knows the child.
The mother might know something

1343
00:39:41,530 --> 00:39:42,862
the mother knows the child.
The mother might know something
different about the child and

1344
00:39:42,864 --> 00:39:44,230
the mother might know something
different about the child and
have to express that to you so

1345
00:39:44,232 --> 00:39:45,532
different about the child and
have to express that to you so
you know how to deal with the

1346
00:39:45,534 --> 00:39:45,899
have to express that to you so
you know how to deal with the
kid.

1347
00:39:45,901 --> 00:39:47,734
You know how to deal with the
kid.
It's just like surgery, man.

1348
00:39:47,736 --> 00:39:49,652
Kid.
It's just like surgery, man.
You got to know what's up when

1349
00:39:49,654 --> 00:39:51,204
it's just like surgery, man.
You got to know what's up when
you're coparenting.

1350
00:39:51,206 --> 00:39:53,706
You got to know what's up when
you're coparenting.
I think it's different from back

1351
00:39:53,708 --> 00:39:56,209
you're coparenting.
I think it's different from back
when my father was parenting me.

1352
00:39:56,211 --> 00:39:58,411
I think it's different from back
when my father was parenting me.
It was just like, "I got this.

1353
00:39:58,413 --> 00:39:59,295
When my father was parenting me.
It was just like, "I got this.
I got this.

1354
00:39:59,297 --> 00:40:00,914
It was just like, "I got this.
I got this.
I don't need your mama."

1355
00:40:00,916 --> 00:40:02,582
I got this.
I don't need your mama."
it's like, "damn, we did need

1356
00:40:02,584 --> 00:40:04,084
I don't need your mama."
it's like, "damn, we did need
her and all that, but...

1357
00:40:04,086 --> 00:40:05,635
It's like, "damn, we did need
her and all that, but...
I'm glad you got it, but I

1358
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:07,670
her and all that, but...
I'm glad you got it, but I
needed that."

1359
00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:09,305
I'm glad you got it, but I
needed that."
you understand what I'm saying?

1360
00:40:09,307 --> 00:40:10,924
Needed that."
you understand what I'm saying?
It's like hand in glove, the

1361
00:40:10,926 --> 00:40:12,008
you understand what I'm saying?
It's like hand in glove, the
coparenting thing.

1362
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:15,995
It's like hand in glove, the
coparenting thing.
[ indistinct shouting ]

coparenting thing.
[ indistinct shouting ]
I'm definitely, you know what

00:40:17,933 --> 00:40:20,016
[ indistinct shouting ]
I'm definitely, you know what
I'm saying, loving on the people

I'm saying, loving on the people
that I want the love back from.

1366
00:40:22,270 --> 00:40:29,659
I'm saying, loving on the people
that I want the love back from.
But love, for me, is music.

00:40:29,661 --> 00:40:32,028
That I want the love back from.
But love, for me, is music.
It's always there.

it, it gives it right back.

1370
00:40:36,535 --> 00:40:37,417
It does exactly -- what I give
it, it gives it right back.
It never leaves.

1371
00:40:37,419 --> 00:40:39,169
It, it gives it right back.
It never leaves.
It never gets mad.

1372
00:40:39,171 --> 00:40:40,503
It never leaves.
It never gets mad.
Never gets tired.

1373
00:40:40,505 --> 00:40:41,504
It never gets mad.
Never gets tired.
Never gets old.

1374
00:40:41,506 --> 00:40:43,339
Never gets tired.
Never gets old.
Never talks back.

1375
00:40:43,341 --> 00:40:46,209
Never gets old.
Never talks back.
Never tries to backstab you or

Never tries to backstab you or
hurt you.

Never tries to backstab you or

It's just music is beautiful.

Hurt you.
It's just music is beautiful.
Music is the universal language.

1379
00:40:53,435 --> 00:40:54,834
It's just music is beautiful.
Music is the universal language.
And it could soothe the savage

1380
00:40:54,836 --> 00:40:56,970
music is the universal language.
And it could soothe the savage
beast like me.

And it could soothe the savage
beast like me.
So I'mma always love music.

Just like I'm gonna always love
my wife.

1384
00:41:02,510 --> 00:41:03,810

00:41:05,196 --> 00:41:05,562
saying?

1387
00:41:05,696 --> 00:41:07,113
Peer pressure, that [bleep]

1388
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:07,647
don't amount to [bleep]

1389
00:41:09,150 --> 00:41:10,233

1390
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:12,235
Live your best life the way you

1391
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:12,986
want to.

1392
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,038
Respect authority, but live your

1393
00:41:15,156 --> 00:41:17,123
life.

1394
00:41:17,241 --> 00:41:19,125
Never stop working until you

00:41:19,243 --> 00:41:20,660
want to stop working.

1396
00:41:20,828 --> 00:41:22,579
Go hard until you manifest

1397
00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:24,581
every single vision that you

1398
00:41:24,715 --> 00:41:27,083
have for yourself.

1399
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:29,169
Nobody knew what stevie wanted

1400
00:41:29,336 --> 00:41:31,054
to do until I showed them.

1401
00:41:31,172 --> 00:41:33,006
You got to make them believe.

1402
00:41:33,174 --> 00:41:35,141
And once they believe, you know

1403
00:41:35,259 --> 00:41:37,260
what I'm saying, as much as you,

1404
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:38,878
you've won.
