00:00:00.000 Who'd you listen to in fifth grade, like at that age? 1.00
00:00:02.200 Shit, I was listening to everywhere. 1.00
00:00:03.960 East Coast, West Coast, down South, it didn't matter. 0.99
00:00:07.980 Because you got to remember, by the time I'm in the fifth grade
00:00:10.340 and I'm listening to Too Shorter, if it's Eazy-E or if it's N-W-A,
00:00:14.920 it's almost making me feel like I've been to L.A.
00:00:18.020 Of course I've never been there.
00:00:19.340 But this is where I could sit in my room and imagine,
00:00:22.520 yo, this is what L.A. like.
00:00:24.740 The lowriders, the cars, the paint jobs, the gold datings,
00:00:29.300 Corner stores.
00:00:30.280 Wow, they're painting the picture of what L.A. is like through rap.
00:00:33.440 Through music.
00:00:34.200 Wow.
00:00:35.160 So you're, okay, so you just turned, how old are you?
00:00:39.660 I just saw that you just had your 50th, right?
00:00:42.440 Just celebrated my 50th, I did.
00:00:44.400 50th, happy birthday.
00:00:45.640 Happy 50th is a big deal, man, to go through it.
00:00:48.020 I think after like 30, everything's by decades.
00:00:50.400 You celebrate every 10 years, 40, 50, 60.
00:00:52.600 Why not?
00:00:53.260 Why not?
00:00:53.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:00:54.420 Fuck it. 1.00
00:00:55.040 Why not? 1.00
00:00:56.240 Celebrate it.
00:00:56.720 But if you're in fifth grade, fifth grade is what?
00:00:58.800 You're 10, 11 years old.
00:01:00.660 So that's 39 years ago.
00:01:02.440 39 years ago is late 80s?
00:01:07.520 Got to be.
00:01:08.260 Late 80s?
00:01:08.840 So who's late 80s?
00:01:09.800 Because Tupac hasn't come out yet late 80s.
00:01:11.400 No, no.
00:01:11.840 Too short is.
00:01:12.580 No, no, no.
00:01:13.220 Tupac hasn't come out yet.
00:01:14.380 So really it was about UMTV raps.
00:01:19.300 You know, those videos.
00:01:21.260 So after school, as soon as we got out of school at 2.30, boom.
00:01:26.520 I may have had 30 minutes to get home before your MTV Raps came on.
00:01:30.600 Everything that was on there, I was a fan of.
00:01:33.100 If it's East Coast, if it's Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes,
00:01:36.980 Leader of the New School, Public Enemy, LL, whatever it is.
00:01:41.460 You know what I'm saying?
00:01:42.100 Because I done fell in love with it for the music, the creative expression,
00:01:46.180 the fashion, everything, the videos, the artwork, the graffiti, the cars. 0.99
00:01:52.260 That shit grabbed me from every angle. 0.99
00:01:53.860 It was like an octopus. 1.00
00:01:55.440 And was it sudden, like in fifth grade-ish?
00:01:58.000 It was already gone from, you know, me first hearing music.
00:02:02.180 For me, there's three songs I listen to where I, you know, all of a sudden I had to stop.
00:02:07.100 I'm like, I cannot believe I'm hearing a voice like this.
00:02:10.000 But what was it for you, maybe one of the hip-hop songs where you listen to,
00:02:14.360 you're like, this is just different than anything else I've ever heard in my life,
00:02:17.540 especially when you were young.
00:02:18.840 It was phenomenal. It was amazing.
00:02:20.620 So growing up in my household, my mom played Johnny Taylor every weekend.
00:02:26.560 Every time we was in the car, we listened to music.
00:02:29.200 So I was just exposed to music from before I could even recall.
00:02:36.240 So when you listen to my sounds, the Maybach music, live instrumentation feeling,
00:02:42.280 that expensive orchestra feeling sound, that's where that come from.
00:02:45.920 Me listening to old soulful music, R&B, that was before I could even talk.
00:02:51.800 So by the time rap music, you know, came into play, it was, I understood and could blend them both.
00:02:59.380 Rap and R&B.
00:03:00.660 Of course.
00:03:01.580 So right now, if I go through my playlist right now, you at the top might be Fleetwood Mac. 0.98
00:03:08.320 Then it might go to goddamn DJ Quick. 0.94
00:03:11.480 Then it might go, you know, it's just anything you could imagine. 0.99
00:03:15.220 R&B or 90s R&B?
00:03:16.640 Man, I listen to everything.
00:03:20.860 Everything?
00:03:21.760 Yeah.
00:03:22.620 Yeah, 90s R&B, in my opinion, was the best R&B.
00:03:25.840 That's easily, I understand that, but it's easily debatable.
00:03:31.780 What would you put comparable to the 90s R&B?
00:03:35.520 Man, you got to go back to.
00:03:37.680 Old school? 1.00
00:03:38.360 Anita Baker.
00:03:39.680 You got to go back to, it's like, who do you put next to Anita Baker?
00:03:42.600 Who do you compare from the 90s to that?
00:03:48.280 When I think about the sound of Sade, who could you compare?
00:03:52.540 She's one of a kind.
00:03:53.980 Thank you.
00:03:54.680 She's one of a kind.
00:03:55.820 Thank you.
00:03:56.420 I wish you would perform more, but that's why when she does it,
00:03:59.240 I read somewhere that she doesn't like.
00:04:01.540 And I understand.
00:04:02.460 Yeah.
00:04:03.340 She's one of those. 0.92
00:04:05.680 Pure artist.
00:04:06.920 Oh, my God.
00:04:07.560 We got to protect her with all that.
00:04:09.140 Have you ever met her?
00:04:09.840 Of course not.
00:04:11.060 Oh, you haven't?
00:04:12.120 Of course not.
00:04:12.720 You answer that quickly.
00:04:13.820 Of course.
00:04:15.000 Intentionally, you don't want to meet her.
00:04:16.160 Intentionally, no, never that.
00:04:19.020 Rosé would have had a collaboration with Sade if I met her.
00:04:23.360 Stop.
00:04:24.320 I would have went and got us a matcha.
00:04:26.320 So would that be at the top of the list as a collaboration?
00:04:28.520 Of course.
00:04:29.760 In human life, one.
00:04:31.380 Wow.
00:04:33.180 Sade.
00:04:34.180 That's the music.
00:04:35.620 That's what I'm trying to talk about.
00:04:37.100 I grew up to, you know, beautiful sounds.
00:04:40.020 sounds that if you close your eyes, it's like you can see them in color.
00:04:45.080 And that's what Sade does for me.
00:04:47.020 I agree.
00:04:48.120 What's your favorite Sade song?
00:04:49.340 I never thought we were going to talk Sade today.
00:04:51.360 That was not on my top 50 list today.
00:04:53.420 It's too many to list for Sade.
00:04:55.860 To me, you could just go Sade's greatest hits and let it go.
00:04:59.060 I fully agree.
00:05:00.140 Just leave that alone.
00:05:01.160 I agree.
00:05:01.440 Play that.
00:05:02.000 That's for anybody listening.
00:05:03.120 I agree.
00:05:03.560 You pull up Sade's greatest hits and fall back.
00:05:07.120 Do yourself the biggest favor.
00:05:08.500 It's never as good as the first time.
00:05:10.540 Cherish the day.
00:05:11.120 Without a doubt.
00:05:11.880 It's never good as the first time.
00:05:13.240 Number one.
00:05:13.920 Right.
00:05:14.060 Never good as the first time.
00:05:15.100 Never as good as the first time.
00:05:16.260 Greatest song Sade ever created.
00:05:18.480 And she's telling you the story.
00:05:20.140 And I believe her.
00:05:21.520 I believe what she's telling me.
00:05:23.220 But there was a part about her where, you know, she gets uncomfortable.
00:05:26.820 Every time she would announce a concert, it would sell out within like the first, you know, few minutes.
00:05:31.000 You know, because the world wanted to watch her.
00:05:33.260 Imagine how many babies have been born to Sade.
00:05:37.060 You know.
00:05:38.500 So who would be your two on the list?
00:05:42.000 If Sade is one, who would be two or three
00:05:43.720 that you haven't collaborated with yet?
00:05:46.640 Well, I have collaborated with Mary J. Blige,
00:05:49.020 but most definitely what Sade does, what Anita Baker does.
00:05:53.940 That's too easy.
00:05:56.280 Anita Baker most definitely for Rose is like, you know what I mean?
00:06:00.620 It's different.
00:06:02.380 So I just listen to, you know.
00:06:06.020 You just listen to Anita Baker?
00:06:08.500 Yes, I listen to, you know, like I say, my playlist is different.
00:06:12.380 But when I'm thinking of these voices and Rick Ross collaborations,
00:06:18.000 well, without a doubt, Sade is number one on the list.
00:06:22.060 Her voice, her sounds, for her to do a concert,
00:06:27.040 all she has to do is come out in a white gown, no shoes, 0.96
00:06:30.200 and just sit down Indian style.
00:06:33.480 You're already visualizing in the video, the collaboration.
00:06:36.860 It's too easy.
00:06:38.320 It's too easy.
00:06:40.020 I see.
00:06:42.140 I mean, if you're putting it out there,
00:06:43.560 they're probably going to reach out to you.
00:06:45.460 Oh, my God.
00:06:46.660 Have you ever reached out to her?
00:06:48.240 Oh, my God.
00:06:49.340 I would love to go get you a cup of matcha.
00:06:59.260 It's true.
00:07:00.280 It's true.
00:07:00.840 Even though we're smiling, Sade, I mean it.
00:07:04.220 What was the movie that her song was a big hit in with Demi Moore and Robert Redford?
00:07:11.240 Indecent Proposal. 1.00
00:07:12.140 Indecent Proposal.
00:07:13.360 Have you ever seen Indecent Proposal?
00:07:15.280 Do you remember that movie 30 years ago?
00:07:16.920 I'm not sure.
00:07:18.000 I remember the title, but that might have been out of Rosé Luke 30 years ago.
00:07:23.740 Yeah.
00:07:24.860 Indecent Proposal.
00:07:26.060 Yeah, there's a scene where, I mean, the main song is Ordinary Love in the movie, and it's Sade.
00:07:33.340 It makes sense.
00:07:35.220 Whoever scored the music was very smart.
00:07:38.480 Yeah.
00:07:39.020 Right.
00:07:39.460 Yeah.
00:07:39.980 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:07:45.680 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:07:47.880 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:07:49.940 We chose neither.
00:07:51.580 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:07:53.720 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:07:58.860 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:08:03.340 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:08:06.740 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:08:10.700 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:08:14.780 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
