Dion summers when you hear these songs you can feel it in jail all you can eat you know all these different what I consider to be legendary songs nowadays what comes to your mind what do you think of that is kind of like um me I mean what it makes me go back i really have to hear how much i feel a little embarrassed you know people listen to music and i mean because it was so long ago it's almost like when you have an old high school yearbook of yourself and you're looking At that, you don't want to buy to see it, I don't want to say, I actually have motion pictures when I was here.

I'll be in videos and movies and things like that, but it's exciting, it takes me a while. back when hip-hop was really fun for me and exciting for me, as far as you know, being an artist on that level was interesting because at that time we weren't so critical of the power that people chose to create. totally acceptable a lot of people first experience bark rules frat

boys

ok ok and i see y'all come in and have fun but when they rapped and had that swag at the time you know we didn't question if they were real or not rappers, I mean, at first it was almost like we were, you know, a regular rap group like all the other rap groups in New York City when we started making records, we decided to add the touch of humor and comedy. and a lot of people loved it, they accepted it, I mean, you know we did it, you know we did it as hard as we could and in the end, a lot of people know that we didn't get recognized by our groups like we do groups like Houdini bill to be recognized. for the foundation they laid, but I really don't care too much.

I really, really want buff to be recognized, yeah buff, you know, buff was the human beatbox. he had a heart attack, he died in an accident, he was actually six foot four, seven hundred and sixty pounds, and he fell. I'm happy to fall, and when he fell, he couldn't breathe properly. heart attack it was like he was walking down the street he had a heart attack he was actually on a long way to start getting his health back like we really had a two hour conversation an hour before he died about it at the time that I was really successful in producing records, that was my thing at the time and, you know, I had basically run the record company mill as far as we got another deal like I want to get a deal here done, you know it was something like that for me So, um, you know I had the talk with him, just get healthy, go make another record, see what happens, we had fun with it, you know an hour later, he passed away to you.

You decided man I gotta make sure my health was right shortly after that yeah after that yeah me and I couldn't control it until about four or five years ago actually I was 430lbs and I went to a Dolphin game and I took my son with me and we sat down and went where we walked from the car to our seat until my time. I arrived there. I was out of breath. He couldn't breathe. um and I notice that everyone is watching. to me and I'm like what am I looking at oh that's why the next day I started the long road I lost about 175 Wow
