 Yeah, we on boss talk, one-on-one. Nice, you walking in, huh? Already, man. From there, he saw me playing. And what's the funniest thing is, like, when you grew up, like, Bootsy Collins made me want to play the bass. So all that parliament stuff I learned, at the time, they were trying to replay samples from Parliament. They weren't trying to sample it no more. They weren't people to replay it. So I knew all them songs. So they played it, can you play this? Something in flashlight? Like, I've been playing that for about 10 years, and I ain't saying nothing. I was like, uh, yeah, let me see. Like this. And like, damn, he figured it out like two seconds. I see a hit record. I play it down for five minutes. Like, damn! So everybody was tripping. So then Cube was like, man, I want you to play, you know, whatever I'm doing. So it was Lynch Mobb, whatever, whatever, but me and Cube were close in age. And I knew a lot of his people, his wife's people, his cousins and everything like that. So we kept seeing, we kept hanging with each other. And in the studios that he recorded at, because he was a man at the time, everybody tried to record there. So he'd be in five or six rooms. So people would see me hanging with him. He'd be like, oh, that's Cube's bass player. And then I started playing with Deb C. And that got you a lot of other gigs. Everybody on the West Coast. At the time, I played bass. How long did you play for him? Uh, from 93 on to now. So you still playing with him? Yeah. That's awesome. That's a theme song for his big three. Oh, yeah? Yeah, how was that transitioning over into that outside of what he's already been, because to you it's just music, right? So you could play, you get into it. It doesn't matter what's happening, you more into the music, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it can be basketball, it can be a movie. It could be anything, but to you, it's all music. It's consistent. It's all music. He just came to Dallas the other day, but, um... Sure did. Victory? Yeah, because I reached out, because I wanted to get him on a broadcast, and I reached out, but it was not very successful. That's all right. We're going to keep working. Cube is usually a year... Behind? Ahead. Oh. His planning is a year, like whatever he's going to do next year around this time, he's already planned it out. So it's hard to catch him. And that's kind of why I learned a lot from him, because he's always real organized and structured. And so he plans everything out. So he's planned out for a whole year. Wow. That's good. As long as they hear him, I'll be like, man, I hit a date. I said, they got a date wrong. I said, nah. Like, uh, I got to do that next year. I'm like, man, you planned that ahead? I love that. I can't plan a week ahead. I forget and that show up and all that stuff. Me too. See, I wish I could. No, I would be that person that would be just like him trying to plan. But when you have people around you who don't do the same thing, it's very hard. Yeah. Yep. Don't look at me like that. What you looking at? Oh, that fuck. Yeah. So I started playing with Ice Cube. Mm-hmm. Um, I ended up playing for E4. I mean, anybody in, um, on the West Coast. And then it's like getting flown to New York. And I started playing for, um, uh, Easy Mo Bees, brother LG. So it was like, Illinois Scratch. Mm-hmm. Like a bunch of groups like that that they would fly me out because I'm Cubes, quote, unquote, base player. Yeah. But that's how I realized in this industry when you get to, um, to work with a notarized, um, a very popular person. Mm-hmm. It's a case where they label you because I was, somebody else was telling me about Janet Jackson, piano player. And I'm like, that's how they know the person. Right. Not by their name. So this is such and such player. Right. This is such and such. And that's what helps them to get their gigs. Heck, yeah. You know. I gave him, uh, and didn't charge him. I gave him all the rights to the Big Three theme song. Mm-hmm. Just to say thank you for my association with him. Bless me from nine to three on that. Wow. You know what I'm saying? That's big. The fact that you would be able to do that, you know, a lot of people get to going and they feel like it's themselves who made it. Right. So that's big. Yeah. That's big on character. Mm-hmm. But, you know, I definitely get it, you know, because when people help us or have helped us back in the days or whatever, it's always love. Mm-hmm. It's always love, man. Yeah. And he's never changed who he is. Same dude. Let's play some bones. Nigga was had it. Mm-hmm. No Hollywood. He's the same dude. He's the same. He seems real good. He's never, he even dressed the same. T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've seen that. You know what I'm saying? Because one thing, it says a lot about you. To me, it seems more like a brotherhood between you and him because for the main fact, you've been working with him for such a long time. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Because it's hard to find people that you can, you know, really get along with. And they know exactly what you want. And then they don't get too big headed about it. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Because this business, I'm sure you can find a lot of people who get big headed. Oh, yeah. I got some people I really want to put on glass right now. Hey. God right now.
