It's another thing 48 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.520 to find a poetic and interesting way to say it. 49 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.000 Make us think, stimulate a mind as well as a body, 50 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:34.759 that's that's what I'm. 51 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.759 Saying to now.

I'm 67 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.000 trying to trying to remind people that that love is 68 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.800 one of the most powerful energies on the face of 69 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.080 this planet, and that it is important and it needs 70 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.840 to be incorporated in your everyday life, including your musical selection. 71 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.759 Yeah right.

It never does, so you kind of just 337 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.240 gotta do what feels good and you know, hope that 338 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.960 people agree. Have you ever written a pile of songs 339 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.320 for specific artists and they chose none of them?

Like 359 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.120 I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when 360 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.480 we're together. Maybe I'm good a by myself, but you 361 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.080 you make me okay? 362 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.039 I wrote it, killed that man. I wrote it. I 363 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:43.759 played it for him. 364 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.639 He loved it that night, but then like two days 365 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.679 later heard me and said, this kind of feels more 366 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.120 like an R and B record, So I want you 367 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:49.559 to have it. 368 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.720 So he gave it to me, and I'm like, all right, cool. 369 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.879 So I wrote versus to it in the whole nine uh, 370 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.759 And it's sat in the archives for a few months, 371 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.320 like just because what I wound up doing it kind 372 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.480 of didn't match the format. So again, you know situation 373 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.200 where everything can be used for something. I'm just randomly 374 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.879 in the studio playing stuff for fab. 375 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.879 I play that. He's like, bro, what are you doing 376 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.919 with that? I'm like, well, nothing, to be honest, let 377 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.840 me get that all right? 378 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.120 Cool? 379 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.320 He took it, wrote his verses to it, and it 380 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.679 became the one that everybody knows now. But initially it 381 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.919 was supposed to be for j you know. So it 382 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.960 just because the person you wrote it for it doesn't 383 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.279 want it doesn't mean it's you scrap it. It just 384 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.759 means you you you know, you reformat it and do 385 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.600 something else with it. Yeah, I love how jay Z 386 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:34.639 gave you a song you wrote. That's great, fucking jay 387 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.759 Z man. Well, I bro, he gave he gave me 388 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.120 the track because the Timberland track that would have would 389 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.600 have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars and he 390 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.200 gave it to me. 391 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.360 Okay, you know with Tim's blessing of course, of course, 392 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.879 of course, and of course your three Grammys not one speech? 393 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.159 Not one? How does that happen? Not one? 394 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:52.679 Uh? 395 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.440 My first time going to the Grammys is when I 396 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.360 learned that there are categories that are not televised. You know, 397 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.120 you watch the Grammys on TV, and you feel like 398 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.240 the ones that that they that they show on TV 399 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.279 are just are those are the ones? But it's like, no, 400 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.599 there's there's there's hundreds of them that and a lot 401 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.039
