Who'd you listen to in fifth grade, like at that age?
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.
00:00:19.340
But this is where I could sit in my room and imagine,
00:00:24.740
The lowriders, the cars, the paint jobs, the gold datings,
00:00:30.280
Wow, they're painting the picture of what L.A. is like through rap.
00:00:35.160
So you're, okay, so you just turned, how old are you?
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.
00:00:56.720
But if you're in fifth grade, fifth grade is what?
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.
00:01:33.100
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.
00:01:42.100
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
00:01:58.000
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,
00:02:20.620
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.
00:03:01.580
So right now, if I go through my playlist right now, you at the top might be Fleetwood Mac.
0.98
00:03:11.480
Then it might go, you know, it's just anything you could imagine.
0.99
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.
00:03:39.680
You got to go back to, it's like, who do you put next to Anita Baker?
00:03:48.280
When I think about the sound of Sade, who could you compare?
00:03:56.420
I wish you would perform more, but that's why when she does it,
00:04:19.020
Rosé would have had a collaboration with Sade if I met her.
00:04:26.320
So would that be at the top of the list as a collaboration?
00:04:40.020
sounds that if you close your eyes, it's like you can see them in color.
00:04:49.340
I never thought we were going to talk Sade today.
00:04:55.860
To me, you could just go Sade's greatest hits and let it go.
00:05:03.560
You pull up Sade's greatest hits and fall back.
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.
00:05:49.020
but most definitely what Sade does, what Anita Baker does.
00:05:56.280
Anita Baker most definitely for Rose is like, you know what I mean?
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
00:06:33.480
You're already visualizing in the video, the collaboration.
00:07:04.220
What was the movie that her song was a big hit in with Demi Moore and Robert Redford?
00:07:18.000
I remember the title, but that might have been out of Rosé Luke 30 years ago.
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.
00:07:39.980
When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
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,
