I got to ask, I got to ask this first. You know, because I always wonder what would happen if they had the whole dungeon family performed. Yeah. In Atlanta, I wonder what, like, will we open up a portal to a third world? Yeah, what was that shit like to have a whole family on that, man? It was an out-of-body experience for me. I got to say it like that.

It was so amazing to see all my brothers on stage, all of them strong. Also to be on the stage with future at the same time. And this all to be about a tribute to Rico Wade, man. It was lovely. And to end it all off, this was the start for the long weekend to take us on into, what, L.A. for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the Outcast being inducted in that one. Oh, that's amazing.

Congratulations. That's so dope. I wanted to ask you. So, you know, people throw the word legend around so much. Obviously, you are Atlanta legend. You're a legend in the music industry in general. How does it feel for people to use that word when I describe you at this point of your career? It's kind of, it's nostalgic because I feel so like alive again because I was able to start

and continue to do music the whole time. I hadn't laid music down. So, you know, like for me just now to just be relevant at the same time, being. on in a new genre with my cousin, Scott Whiteley, and him putting me on new records. I've been on the radio with him for now two years. Oh, wow. And back in the Chittling circuit where Goody Maher started, I'm back at all the old folk houses, in the field. I feel back at home again.

It's like soul food all over again. So right now I'm living on the high. You know, I swear my brothers are good. My kid performed here today, you know, keep science. So for me personally, I'm gone. man. Your daughter before? Amazing.

Yes, my daughter performed. I missed it. Damn. And y'all cousins, y'all real cousins are y'all like, that's my cousin? We're good, man.

Y'all real cousins. Okay. Y'all know black people, we love to say, that's my cousin. Look it up, look it up. Look it up. Rock Mike, Georgia. My mom from Rock Mike Georgia.

Okay. You're off from your boy, Dan, over there. Right by there. Oh, word? Yeah. It's right there. Oh, okay.

We're flying now. Yeah, yeah. Well, let me ask you this. We've been asking everybody, man. It's like, you know, Atlanta, when it comes to the black essence, it's like the mecca of the black asses. Right, right. So, for one music fest to be in Atlanta, man,

what they feel like as a Georgia native. Now we got us one. We got us a festival. Oh, yeah, I mean, like experience and, like being able to have an example to the ones coming behind it, like, it inspired them. Like, that's where Atlanta's so great. Like, you see yourself. It ain't too many places you're the majority, right?

You travel outside of Atlanta, man, you're the minority. everywhere but you can see everybody doing from doctor to artists the comedian company whatever you want to say winning though winning so it's just like for me it's big in the aspect like we can do it too we build it you know what I'm saying they're gonna come and they did it you know what I'm saying so it's been amazing just over weekend it's amazing it's amazing to watch this because I've only did this when I was in New York I was in L.A. I was in festivals like crazy overseas with Cilo like doing all those kind of festivals so to see a real actual festival come to Atlanta It's very, very amazing.

And to know the guys that actually put this together, Jay Carter, man, Motown, man, all the family. Man, this is amazing, man. Hey, man, we're in the black mecca, man. As long as we keep staying in the head and showing people how to do it, hey, man, we can't do nothing but keep going. Hey, man, Mr. Clark.

From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built a cultural empire, the Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential cities in the world.

The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man. Each episode explores a different chapter of Atlanta's Rise, featuring conversations with ludicrous, Will Packer, Pastor Jamal Bryant, DJ Drama, and more. The full series is available to listen to now. I really just had never experienced anything like what was going on in the city as far as like, you know, seeing so many young, black, affluent, creatives in all walks of life. The church had dwindled almost to nothing. And God said this is your assignment. And that's like how you know, like, okay, oh, you're from Atlanta for real. I ain't got to say too much.

I'm a Grady, baby. Shut up. Listen to Atlanta is on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we've got some incredible guests like Kumail Nanjiani. Let's start with your cat. How is she? She is not with us in. Okay, great, great, great way to start.

So this is a great beginning. And hopefully you'll be able to. so I don't know, maybe you will cry. Amanda Seifred. Life is so short. If you feel something like that, you have that fire in you for this experience. It's not for a guy. It's for the experience of being in love and, like, it's bigger than a guy.

Elizabeth Olson. I love swimming naked so much. And I know you love taking pictures of yourself naked. I love to be naked. I just want to be in my brown underwear all the time. Ross Matthews. You know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or girl?

Oh, my God. All the time. I love it. So I'm always like, hi. I try to butcher it up for kids, you know, so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up is basically like Doris Day. Right? No, I turn into Be Arthur.

like a couple years before I, you know, doing my thing, working the Tennis Circuit. You know, I own in the mud with it. But, I mean, if you look at Suther's, like Suther's Soul, but you look at the Goody Moll's record, Soul Food, it's sold all through that, motherfucker. So it's like, it was a no-brainer because, like, it's not about leveraging it, right?

What I bring to the game is playing the line a little bit, if that makes sense, like urban blues, urban blues. So it had to be a specific artist that make it make sense. So we're like, because soul food, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's sold. You know what I'm saying? It was no-brainer. Alley hoop, you know what I'm saying?

He's done it. brought that shit straight to the crib. Right at home, man. I always tell the whole, the whole good immob every time I get a chance to get around them, but it's like even watching them start getting successful, they always made it feel like us and the fans

with them. Right, man, as opposed to holding that shit over. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You get what I'm saying? Organic, man. Yeah, you get what I'm saying? Like, the energy is different when it comes to certain shit.

Yeah, and the age group, like with Seller's Soul, like he was saying, like, a lot of people in that Seller's soul, they grew up with the good in mind. So it's age appropriate for a, or artists and a rapper to get on the record like this. And you don't like it when rappers get on Southern Soul. But like because there's certain artists that they grew up with, you know what I'm saying? It made sense.

And they're accepting it. Now, Gil, what do you feel like they're a young generation finding them hits, man? They're going back and they're listening to that catalog. It's great. And I love it so much because we just happen to own all our catalog. We never sold our music or did a publishing deal. So for me personally, it's been great. for me to watch something that was shunned in the beginning because people didn't understand us as clearly as outcast.

But now when you go through the pandemic and people understand what cell therapy finally means. So to watch something 30 years later turn into a hit just because people sitting in the house and trying to figure out what is this we living in? And cell therapy kept coming up. So to be the author or something like that and then to be living it right now. Like we actually live in cell therapy. We're going to have to make a decision. Are we getting the chip or we're going to have to live outside in the field. So it's almost there, everybody.

No more fishing for your fish, Gil. Go, let's go, go, this go. That's my daughter. Come on there, Carl. Carlos, this is my daughter. You think I don't know that? Hi. Hi.

I love the grill. I don't know. I love it. This gift, baby. girl right here. She born into the music, man. Yes. Does she ever think you'd be performing at a festival with your favorite girl on the other

stage? No, I started crying when I seen on stage. I ain't going to tell you no story. I was like, I never thought that we would be on the same stage. And for her to be here and doing her music, music that she wrote and she put together and didn't want no help from me or her mother. And I'm just like, wow, she got her own fans. and I'm just like a fan.

I'm getting to watch this journey. Now, I got to ask you, hopefully your parents are big in the music game. You ain't want no help you wanted to do it by yourself, man. What made you take that approach to? I mean, you have to. Because I'm being clear about what you're trying to get here. Yeah. Pops be giving you the game on that.

What did you say? You said, popps be giving you the game on the music and all that too? Honestly, nobody gives me tips on anything unless I ask. And I appreciate it. I can definitely see it. Good, man. Yeah. I appreciate it.

I did want to ask you this. We're going to turn this to a whole podcast. Might as well. You saw Slick Rick went platinum the other day on the children's story. 36 years later, man. Yeah. As a hip-hop. Yeah.

Talk to me, man. What y'all think of that? Just to see. It's amazing because one thing you got to understand it that since Stick Rick came home, he has been totally. about his business and for him to stay out here and stay relevant.

Him and Dougie Fresh. It's always him and Dougie Fresh. I see there are like pillars in the hip-hop industry. So to see that he's still out here and still being innovative, he deserved that. And you also know the default line.

That thing probably went platinum 25, 30 years ago. For real. They just now want to tell him to this platinum. I want to say that. In my mind, platinum back then.

All that shit supposed to be platinum. Yeah, you know what platinum is. It's just a, you know how the numbers. They say watch the numbers. Yeah.

They didn't have the right people in place during those times, the right business. Because one thing the OGs always say, they're watching the game there saying,

look at all the money y'all getting. That's from media. That's from the artist. Y'all got your business together. Yeah. And that's the difference.

I got to ask this because I'm thinking family, right? So you say you wanted to do the music by yourself, you didn't want no help. Yeah. Now, Gip, when she called you for the feature, do you charge her? She ain't going to call. You don't think she's going to sing your name? No, no.

You didn't have one for pop to jump on? No. No. But no. I do believe in pulling from. So as I'm putting things out, you'll be able to recognize certain things. So I did want to ask you, who would you say is like some of your main musical inspirations? And then how would you describe your sound?

Honestly, okay, I've always been more inspired by songwriters and producers more so. So the dream, this is random, but the dream, that's a big piece of how I approach, like, writing a song that just, like, is head on. like boom Stacy Barth is another songwriter um

my mother yeah um yeah obviously dungeon close influences anybody that is

a family legacy I mean it's not hard to figure out who I'm attached to but I'll just put it like that anybody that I'm attached to has a level of influence over how I approach music, but it is mine

and it's nostalgic and I make music for my eight-year-old self. Yeah. And that's how I've been approaching it. I'm just having fun. There's a lot of vulgarity. I feel like I'm approaching it with a palatable approach.

Like, I'm for everybody. Everybody in between. Kids. You got some great mentors around. Thank you. You got a lot of family that's deep, a lot of uncles, a lot of aunties. Yeah, a lot of... Cuzzers and Kim folks. A lot of love.

Definitely in the music. A lot of family. Okay. Yeah. This is true. Gip, this is amazing, man. We got everybody watching. We got to get you come back to the studio, man.

I'm going to come back. I'm going to come back to the studio, man. Coming, man. We're coming, man. I'm going to add some unctures to that function. Unconditionally. Come on, man. You know, hey, man, I just got into the unc community.

Yeah, yeah. And I finally think. why they made us unks. Somebody got to pay for this shit. They're really just using us. Pay for a lot of shit. We love the unks. You don't even know you, unc.

I'm standing in line. A little fan of that girl, niggins. Like, what's up? Hunk? I got to give me away. I'm the old nigger. I can't do it. But this dude, though.

Yeah. We in control. Yeah. back then I said man if I had this much knowledge as a young man oh man I would have been so much father you gotta earn this. No. That one thing you gotta earn to be an ump. Yeah, I feel like unk is like a prestigious title.

Rep. Every father is bro. Was it any hesitation when she said she wanted to get involved with the music where you like, but you know how to end the street? She didn't tell me. She didn't tell me. She went over her uncle house Dallas Dallas, Dallas Austin House and her and her and her her play brug got on, got it.

in that studio and she came out with a song and went straight on the radio. So for me, it was amazing to see. Her first song that she wrote went straight on the radio, DJ Jellie. Hold on the-up, man, we celebrate shit like that. Celebrate shit, mate. So it was amazing to see.

She didn't ask for no help. I just found out in the end. She was like, I do it. Yeah, I pretty much had like half of the catalog already by the time I started sharing music with them. Oh, wow. And then by the time, and really when I'm sharing stuff with them, I'm just like, say something. What you got to say?

Who was more hesitant, mom or dad? A mom? Mom, but not really because she trusts my judgment. Yeah. So anything that I was doing, she knew that I was going to be able to navigate how I needed to. So, yeah, and that's what I'm doing. Whole family doing it, man. Yeah.

That's how we love it over here, man. We love the family atmosphere. We live here at One Music Fest. Y'all stay tuned. We're bringing everybody on the couch right now to the show. We need the whole family. We do a family reunion. Period.

I do it. That'll be hard, man. We're out of here. Four minds. We out of here. One Music Fest. Backwoods, backstage. What if mind control is real?

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your mind. your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.
