line:85% position:31% size:68% >> WHEN I CAME BACK IT TOOK line:85% position:15% size:33% ANOTHER HOUR.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> I MEAN AT THAT POINT YOU ARE line:85% position:16% size:38% STILL LEARNING.

line:85% position:40% size:75% WE GOT A GUY THAT KNOWS HOW TO line:85% position:13% size:20% DO THIS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> RIGHT, BASICALLY,LIKE I SAID, line:85% position:20% size:50% WE WERE ALL FRIENDS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% IT WAS THE GRIND OF DOING IT line:85% position:50% size:80% WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND STUFF LIKE line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE WHOLE line:85% position:12% size:15% THING.
line:85% position:50% size:80% HEY, IF YOU GUYS MAKE IT, I MAKE line:85% position:17% size:43% IT KIND OF THING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO IT WAS KIND OF ONE FOR ALL line:85% position:15% size:35% KIND OF THING.
line:85% position:50% size:80% THAT WAS MY PIECE OF-- AND WOULD line:85% position:15% size:35% I DO ANYTHING.
line:85% position:40% size:75% IF THEY HAD SHOWS AND STUFF, I line:85% position:36% size:73% WOULD BE A HYPE MAN, D.J., IN line:85% position:24% size:58% THE CROWD SELLING C.D.s line:85% position:50% size:80% ANYTHING THAT WE NEEDED, I WOULD line:85% position:14% size:30% BE THAT GUY.

line:85% position:40% size:75% LIKE I SAID, WHEN I MOVED DOWN line:85% position:50% size:80% THERE, IT WAS LIKE, OKAY, WE ALL line:85% position:44% size:78% BROKE, LET'S TRY AND FIGURE OUT line:85% position:40% size:75% HOW WE CAN GET RICH DOING THIS line:85% position:14% size:30% MUSIC THING.
line:85% position:40% size:75% >> DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT line:85% position:20% size:50% WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
line:85% position:13% size:20% >> YEAH.
line:85% position:13% size:25% [LAUGHTER] line:85% position:36% size:73% >> DEFINITELY THOUGHT WE WERE line:85% position:18% size:45% GOING TO GET RICH.
line:85% position:50% size:80% DEFINITELY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING line:85% position:24% size:58% TO BE THE BIGGEST EVER.
line:85% position:33% size:70% IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT, YOU line:85% position:17% size:40% SHOULDN'T DO IT.
line:85% position:16% size:38% >> THAT'S GOOD.
line:85% position:14% size:30% [ APPLAUSE ] line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU'RE DOING THAT THOUGH, AND I line:85% position:24% size:58% GUESS WHAT IT IS THAT'S line:85% position:36% size:73% INTERESTING TO ME IS THAT YOU line:85% position:44% size:78% ARE DOING THAT BUT THINKING YOU line:85% position:50% size:80% ARE GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST EVER line:85% position:36% size:73% BUT SOUNDED LIKE NOBODY HAD A line:85% position:29% size:65% CLUE WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> THEY WERE GOOD AT RAPPING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> AT LEAST SOMEBODY WAS GOOD line:85% position:11% size:13% THEN.
line:85% position:22% size:55% >> I WASN'T THAT GOOD.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AT THAT POINT I WASN'T THAT GOOD line:85% position:31% size:68% BUT I GOT BETTER OVER TIME.
line:85% position:17% size:43% I GOT WAY BETTER.
line:85% position:50% size:80% LIKE I SAID, WE WERE IN ATLANTA, line:85% position:31% size:68% LIVING IN A HOUSE FOR THREE line:85% position:14% size:30% YEARS MAYBE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO IT KIND OF, YOU KNOW, I GOT line:85% position:17% size:43% BETTER OVER TIME.
line:85% position:50% size:80% TO WHERE THE ONLY THING THAT WAS line:85% position:40% size:75% DIFFERENT, I WAS STILL WORKING line:85% position:33% size:70% ON THE 16-TRACK RECORDER AND line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY STILL HAVE THE BIG MASSIVE line:85% position:36% size:73% STUDIOS WITH ALL THESE TRACKS line:85% position:40% size:75% AND DIFFERENT STUFF LIKE THAT.
line:85% position:24% size:58% SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE line:85% position:14% size:28% DIFFERENCE.
line:85% position:29% size:65% I STILL WASN'T AN OFFICIAL line:85% position:13% size:23% ENGINEER.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT I WAS ENOUGH TO AT LEAST GET line:85% position:14% size:28% THE VOCALS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I JUST COULDN'T MIX IT AND MAKE line:85% position:29% size:65% EVERYTHING SOUND THE WAY I line:85% position:29% size:65% REALLY WANTED IT TO SOUND.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> SO AT THAT POINT, TOO, IT WAS line:85% position:50% size:80% MORE LIVING SOMETHING THAT MAYBE line:85% position:40% size:75% NOT EVERYBODY REALIZES IS THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% THERE IS A SOUND ENGINEER WHO IS line:85% position:40% size:75% IN THE STUDIO PUTTING THE MICS line:85% position:40% size:75% WHERE THEY NEED TO GO, THE MIX line:85% position:33% size:70% ENGINEER WE NEED TO HAVE THE line:85% position:40% size:75% COMPRESSION RIGHT ON THIS, AND line:85% position:44% size:78% SO YOU WERE, AT THAT POINT, ITS line:85% position:40% size:75% IT WAS MOSTLY LIKE GETTING THE line:85% position:12% size:18% SOUNDS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% >> THEN WE WOULD TRACK STUFF line:85% position:11% size:10% OUT.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE ACTUALLY STEPPED UP THE line:85% position:33% size:70% EQUIPMENT PROBABLY THAT LAST line:85% position:19% size:48% YEAR WE WERE THERE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE WERE WORKING ON A PROGRAM line:85% position:50% size:80% CALLED NEW ONE DOUGH WHICH ENDED line:85% position:50% size:80% UP TURNING INTO STUDIO ONE LATER line:85% position:17% size:43% ON DOWN THE ROAD.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I WAS WORKING ON THE WINDOW.
line:85% position:31% size:68% THAT WAS THE FIRST COMPUTER line:85% position:44% size:78% PROGRAM WHICH MADE STUFF EASIER line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO PUT IN THE line:85% position:50% size:80% TEMPO, COPY AND PASTE, TRACK OUT line:85% position:13% size:25% THE BEATS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE HAD 64 TRACKS, SOMETHING LIKE line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH 16 line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE 16 IT WAS TWO MEMBERS IN line:85% position:13% size:25% THE GROUP.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO BASICALLY YOU WOULD HAVE TO line:85% position:36% size:73% STW LIKE SAY THE THEY KEPT ON line:85% position:50% size:80% GOING DOWN, THE BEAT WAS ON ONE, line:85% position:44% size:78% WOULD YOU HAVE TO BOUNCE TRACKS line:85% position:31% size:68% DOWN ON THE HOOK, YOU MIGHT line:85% position:20% size:50% STACK IT FOUR TIMES.
line:85% position:40% size:75% YOU HAD TO COMBINE THE TRACKS, line:85% position:40% size:75% GET AS GOOD A MIX AS YOU COULD line:85% position:44% size:78% BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO line:85% position:22% size:55% GET BACK TO THE SINGLE line:85% position:50% size:80% INDIVIDUAL TRACKS AFTER YOU MAKE line:85% position:36% size:73% THEM ONE, TO GET MORE TRACKS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> SO THE IDEA IS YOU HAVE 16 line:85% position:33% size:70% TRACKS, TAKE FOUR TRACKS PUT line:85% position:18% size:45% THEM ON ONE TRACK.
line:85% position:50% size:80% YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT.
line:85% position:13% size:25% IT'S DONE.
line:85% position:22% size:55% SO IT BETTER BE RIGHT.
line:85% position:22% size:55% >> IT HAS TO BE RIGHT.
line:85% position:18% size:45% >> WAS IT USUALLY?
line:85% position:13% size:25% >> IT WAS.
line:85% position:27% size:63% BECAUSE I-- ONCE I GOT TO line:85% position:20% size:50% ATLANTA I WAS ON IT.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE WERE WORKING ON SHIFTS.
line:85% position:29% size:65% LIKE I'M NOT THAT BIG OF A line:85% position:16% size:38% MORNING PERSON.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I'VE ALWAYS BEEN BIG LATE NIGHT line:85% position:36% size:73% AND MY FRIEND TREVOR, HE IS A line:85% position:36% size:73% BIG MORNING PERSON SO LIKE HE line:85% position:44% size:78% LITERALLY EVEN BACK IN THE DAY, line:85% position:40% size:75% HE WOULD BE UP AT 7:00 8:00 IN line:85% position:31% size:68% THE MORNING AND KNOCK ON MY line:85% position:40% size:75% WINDOW, LIKE I'M ASLEEP, BRO'.
line:85% position:27% size:63% YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO WE WOULD WORK IN SHIFTS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% HE WOULD WORK IN THE MORNING AND line:85% position:14% size:28% MAKE BEATS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% JER JEREMY WOULD WAKE UP 11:00 line:85% position:33% size:70% OR 12 AND WAKE UP AND WRITE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND I WOULD WAKE UP 3:00 4:00 line:85% position:36% size:73% AND THEY WOULD BE READY TO DO line:85% position:31% size:68% TWO OR THREE SONGS AND THEY line:85% position:36% size:73% WOULD GO TO SLEEP AND I WOULD line:85% position:50% size:80% STAY UP ALL NIGHT AND TRY TO MIX line:85% position:36% size:73% THEM AND MAKE THEM SOUND GOOD line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THE WHOLE PROCESS JUST KEPT line:85% position:12% size:15% GOING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> THAT'S A REALLY CONVENIENT line:85% position:19% size:48% WAY TO STACK IT UP.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> BECAUSE WE WERE ALL SEPARATE, line:85% position:31% size:68% LIKE AS FAR AS OUR SLEEPING line:85% position:13% size:23% PATTERNS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE A LATE line:85% position:15% size:33% NIGHT PERSON.
line:85% position:36% size:73% >> SO YOU ARE UP AT LIKE 6:00 line:85% position:21% size:53% A.M. MIXING ON A MIX.
line:85% position:21% size:53% >> STILL TO THIS DAY.
line:85% position:33% size:70% >> STILL DOING 16 HOUR DAYS.
line:85% position:12% size:15% >> NO.
line:85% position:17% size:43% >> JUST 14 HOURS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> MIGHT NOT BE 16 HOURS WITH ME line:85% position:44% size:78% ENGINEER BECAUSE I DON'T RECORD line:85% position:22% size:55% ANYBODY AT THIS POINT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% MORE SO MIXING AND LIKE I SAID, line:85% position:40% size:75% I GOT OTHER PEOPLE THAT I WORK line:85% position:11% size:13% WITH.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SO I KIND OF TRY TO DELEGATE line:85% position:44% size:78% SOME OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS TO line:85% position:20% size:50% THEM SO THAT I'M NOT line:85% position:44% size:78% NECESSARILY, SO I CAN HAVE TIME line:85% position:19% size:48% TO DO OTHER THINGS.
line:85% position:25% size:60% >> NOW YOU ARE THE BOSS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% BUT THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE NOT line:85% position:13% size:20% EXACTLY.
line:85% position:12% size:15% >> NO.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> SO I MEAN WHAT HAPPENED WITH line:85% position:13% size:25% THE GROUP?
line:85% position:33% size:70% LIKE YOU GUYS WERE TRYING TO line:85% position:31% size:68% MAKE IT, YOU WERE DOING IT?
line:85% position:17% size:40% >> LIFE HAPPENS.
line:85% position:19% size:48% LIKE STUFF HAPPENS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THOSE THREE YEARS WE WERE DOWN line:85% position:44% size:78% THERE, IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE line:85% position:22% size:55% BUT THINGS WERE ROUGH.
line:85% position:36% size:73% LIKE I MEAN WE WERE LIVING IN line:85% position:36% size:73% DECATUR IN ATLANTA, STARVING, line:85% position:36% size:73% HUNGRY, DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY, line:85% position:50% size:80% NOTHING BECAUSE WE BASICALLY PUT line:85% position:33% size:70% EVERYTHING ON THE LINE TO DO line:85% position:17% size:43% THIS MUSIC STUFF.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO BASICALLY WE KIND OF JUST GOT line:85% position:44% size:78% TIRED OF IT AND SAID HEY, LET'S line:85% position:22% size:55% GO BACK HOME, REGROUP.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO I ENDED UP GOING BACK HOME line:85% position:25% size:60% AND REGROUPING AND I WAS line:85% position:50% size:80% PROBABLY THERE LIKE A YEAR AND A line:85% position:11% size:13% HALF.
line:85% position:44% size:78% ME AND ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS IN line:85% position:33% size:70% THE GROUP, TREVOR GOT INTO A line:85% position:50% size:80% THING WHERE WE WERE DOING CINEMA line:85% position:50% size:80% WORK, BASICALLY ALL THE THEATERS line:85% position:33% size:70% LIKE A THEATER LIKE THIS, OR line:85% position:44% size:78% MOVIE THEATER, ALL THE SPEAKERS line:85% position:44% size:78% AND STUFF BEHIND THERE, ALL THE line:85% position:40% size:75% SPEAKERS ON THE WALL, WE WOULD line:85% position:44% size:78% LITERALLY GET UP THERE AND PLUG line:85% position:18% size:45% ALL THAT STUFF UP.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I WOULD LITERALLY BE UP ON A line:85% position:24% size:58% LAKEDDER THAT'S LIKE 20 line:85% position:33% size:70% SOMETHING FEET UP IN THE AIR line:85% position:40% size:75% WITH A SPEAKER CARRYING IT UP, line:85% position:16% size:38% PLUGGING IT IN.
line:85% position:40% size:75% ON THE WEEKENDS WE WOULD CLEAN line:85% position:44% size:78% OFFICE BUILDINGS AND STUFF LIKE line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT BECAUSE WE KNEW A GUY WHO line:85% position:36% size:73% HAD A CLEANING COMPANY AND HE line:85% position:24% size:58% HAD THE CINEMA AS WELL.
line:85% position:27% size:63% THAT'S HOW I GOT MY MONEY line:85% position:13% size:23% TOGETHER.
line:85% position:50% size:80% IT WAS COOL, TOO, THOUGH BECAUSE line:85% position:36% size:73% FOR ONE HE WAS PAYING UNUNDER line:85% position:44% size:78% THE TABLE FOR HIM IT WAS A WIN.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE FOR US IT WAS line:85% position:36% size:73% A WIN, TOO BECAUSE WE WEREN'T line:85% position:50% size:80% GETTING TAXES TAKEN OUT AND THEN line:85% position:44% size:78% WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING, FOR ONE line:85% position:40% size:75% I DIDN'T HAVE TO STAY, I GUESS line:85% position:31% size:68% IN LEXINGTON THE WHOLE TIME line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE THE WHOLE TIME, THE YEAR line:85% position:50% size:80% AND A HALF I WAS BACK, YOU KNOW, line:85% position:31% size:68% NOT THAT I COULD CARE ABOUT line:85% position:36% size:73% PEOPLE THINKING I'M A FAILURE line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT NOBODY WANTS TO BE THOUGHT line:85% position:33% size:70% OF AS A FAILURE SO THE WHOLE line:85% position:33% size:70% TIME I WAS BACK, NOBODY KNEW line:85% position:19% size:48% THAT WE MOVED BACK.
line:85% position:21% size:53% WE WERE GONE SO MUCH.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WHEN I CAME BACK, I WAS STILL line:85% position:22% size:55% DOING THE MUSIC THING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% MY COUSIN HAD A STUDIO IN HIS line:85% position:40% size:75% HOUSE AND WE DID THE LEXINGTON line:85% position:44% size:78% HUSTLERS, AN OLD NEGRO BASEBALL line:85% position:21% size:53% TEAM IN THE BACK DAY.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE TOOK THAT NAME, CALLED IT line:85% position:50% size:80% LEXINGTON HUSTLERS AND BASICALLY line:85% position:33% size:70% IT WAS EVERYBODY IN THE CITY line:85% position:40% size:75% LITERALLY COMBINED AND STARTED line:85% position:21% size:53% DOING MUSIC TOGETHER.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SO I WAS THE ENGINEER IN ALL OF line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT AND I THINK THAT'S WHEN line:85% position:40% size:75% EVERYTHING KIND OF CLICKED FOR line:85% position:33% size:70% ME THOUGH, LIKE I STARTED TO line:85% position:33% size:70% REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS line:85% position:12% size:15% DOING.
line:85% position:44% size:78% LIKE EVEN ME LISTENING TO THOSE line:85% position:44% size:78% SONGS NOW, I CAN LISTEN TO THEM line:85% position:18% size:45% AND BE LIKE, OKAY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% THOSE SOUND AMAZING, EVEN STILL line:85% position:33% size:70% TO THIS DAY, THEY SOUND REAL line:85% position:11% size:13% GOOD.
line:85% position:27% size:63% >> SO THAT'S INTERESTING, line:85% position:36% size:73% BASICALLY A LOT OF TIMES WHEN line:85% position:50% size:80% SOMEONE SAYS THIS ISN'T WORKING, line:85% position:50% size:80% I'M GOING BACK HOME, THAT'S LIKE line:85% position:13% size:20% THE END.
line:85% position:20% size:50% >> MOST OF THE TIME.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT FOR ME I JUST WANTED TO-- IT line:85% position:21% size:53% WAS STILL MY PASSION.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO WANT TO line:85% position:20% size:50% WORK A JOB, I GUESS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE EVERY JOB I'VE EVER HAD, line:85% position:31% size:68% I LITERALLY GOT FIRED FROM.
line:85% position:36% size:73% I WORK THERE HAD FOR A LITTLE line:85% position:12% size:15% WHILE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% IT WOULD BE A SIMPLE REQUEST.

line:85% position:25% size:60% >> WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SO THE POINT, TOO, WITH THAT IS line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT THIS IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW, line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU GO BACK HOME TO REGROUP AND line:85% position:24% size:58% THAT'S USUALLY THE END.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IF YOU line:85% position:36% size:73% HADN'T DONE THAT, LIKE IF YOU line:85% position:31% size:68% HAD JUST STAYED IN ATLANTA, line:85% position:40% size:75% TRIED TO MAKE IT, I WOULD HAVE line:85% position:33% size:70% DIED BECAUSE I WAS STARVING.
line:85% position:15% size:33% I WAS HUNGRY.
line:85% position:29% size:65% I WAS SUPER SKINNY AT THAT line:85% position:12% size:15% POINT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I DEFINITELY NEEDED TO COME BACK line:85% position:40% size:75% HOME AND GATHER MYSELF AND GET line:85% position:14% size:30% IT TOGETHER.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> AND THEN JUST LIKE IT CLICKS line:85% position:18% size:45% WHEN YOU'RE THERE.
line:85% position:13% size:23% >> RIGHT.
line:85% position:29% size:65% LIKE I SAID, WE WERE STILL line:85% position:27% size:63% WORKING ON IT AND NOW I'M line:85% position:36% size:73% GETTING BETTER BECAUSE NOW AT line:85% position:44% size:78% THIS POINT WHEN I'M TELLING YOU line:85% position:36% size:73% WE MOVED BACK, I FOUR OR FIVE line:85% position:40% size:75% YEARS UNDER MY BELT OF ALREADY line:85% position:40% size:75% KIND OF DOING IT SO THESE FOUR line:85% position:44% size:78% OR FIVE YEARS, FIGURING IT OUT, line:85% position:44% size:78% NOW IT CLICKS, I GET IT NOW, AS line:85% position:19% size:48% FAR AS ENGINEERING.
line:85% position:17% size:40% >> THAT HAPPENS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU ARE IN LEXINGTON FOR A YEAR line:85% position:44% size:78% AND A HALF AND YOU START TO GET line:85% position:36% size:73% IT BUT THAT'S NOT THE SAME AS line:85% position:17% size:40% SERIOUS SUCCESS.
