Troop part 2

anyway, the producer of the movie they requested while we spread my wings, man oh we were killing it at the time, spread my wings is like the number one video in the country and it keeps going up wherever and then they cast us in the role, man, and that's how it was. It had to be an Atlantic connection because you know it's true and Levert John Kid in the movie, one thing is in the movie, yeah, we had to go out and do it, we could believe it was in the studio in New York, we went to this theater like It's such a small theater that they had us in this little theater to let us see what Vert had done first, man, oh man, when we saw what Verdi had done, we passed, you're like what a week, what are we going to do?

What are we going to come up with next here with ages G like a really crazy family, it was really crazy because you know number one, you know they were, you know they were doing that, record, you know it was just amazing how to put that together was amazing, so it took us a long time to come up with what we came up with. Yeah, I initially joined him to see the Hammers tour in 1990 with Truth after 7:00 in Oaktown, three five seven, you know, they came out to make sure. No one else did that except guys, we signed with a production company that signed to the label and once we became familiar with publishing and mechanical royalties and things of that nature, we presented that knowledge to the production company we signed with, you know?

I just wanted to negotiate a better situation, you know they were taking half of our publishing, but they didn't write songs or anything, so you know we had a meeting with them and you know they told us to read your contract, you know they would like it and You know, we came into the business, we didn't know any of that, we didn't know what publishing work, we just wanted to be like Michael Jackson, you know, we just wanted to be stars once we discovered certain aspects of music. business, we started asking questions for some reason when you are scientists, people, what production company or what do you have, they really don't like you asking questions and growing too fast and that ultimately was the demise of the company as it was.

We knew her once we decided to leave our first production company. It took us two years to go through litigation. At that moment, guys, two men came. Jodeci came, they just changed things for us. We had disagreements to start coming among the members. It seems like it was overnight before we could really pull it off. what we wanted we changed management we went to a broke management which was MC Hammer's brothers Lewis Burrell his management company along with Hammer we were excited about it because Hammer had sold so many albums at that time we just knew the type of artists and the guy. sales of the album we had just finished, that would be the perfect state of mind for when the time came to do this, the third eye on the deep album, I saw how everything I do works for us, we choose a good song, no one, you.

I knew it was a little bit when the hit, but there's a good song, certain people knew it, so I wanted a song like that and Sweet November was the first song that came out on a babyface in Los Angeles and I was into that truth, I was getting ready for remake, sweet November, we were rehearsing next to each other, they had just hired Toni Braxton, so you know, whatever, some people came here and said, man, you should do amazing roses, you know, I said the rose is not like that and then the kidney was like no, but I had already been, I'll see November, you know, anyway, we were on our way to one day, we got to rehearsal and this was the day I was going to record the song , so I told Babyface to get on her next. door and I was like, uh, I was joking, you know, I'm getting ready to record Sweet November, if you want to come by the studio, I'd love to, yeah, you know, you know, I'd love for you to come, I didn't know how to ask.

Ask for help or anything, you know, I invited him to the studio, so he, you know, he's very calm like Mike, you know, so he got the direction and stuff from me and he showed up at the studio that night when his team Olives He's on his team, all this beer, he brought everything and produced the song baby Wow, yeah, me and the girl Simmons in the studio, coming soon to the yes yes yes yes the glories are a dream t-shirt, do you know about everyone modes? Number one record two weeks in a row then, but anyway, it was a wonderful experience that sweet November man, the work of a babyface Oh, as you can, what you see will always be there my name, oh yeah, today you were a group, yeah, yeah, we did it as a group in uh, usually we'd like to do something like that again, but then two songs, yeah, everyone had a little

part

in it, so I have to say those are my favorite songs, which one group is Oh Allen, he introduced me to some. writing songs when he first got in a group, he showed me how to write songs, so I was turning into this Frankenstein monster between Allen, Chuckie, Booker, Gulliver, Keith, Sweat baby, all these people I was with fell down, I was turning into a little Mike, it's like Michael Jackson. walking around Motown walking in different rooms meeting Steve Ian.

He was having the same experience but he was absorbing it on purpose. It wasn't accidental. He was trying to get all these things so he could be one of all these women. Things you know, the more I became a writer/producer in the music industry, the more Allan got excited about people knowing him and respecting him for being the real lead singer, right? And I mean, managers don't care who we are. We're committed when it comes down to it, I'm the leader, I'm Alan, really, you know, I think he looked at me one way compared to himself and that cost him, it's like a love/hate thing, he hates me. . but this is a very nice good guy, this is a very good guy that I'm dealing with, I saw on the level, you know, once I saw him approaching, once I saw him, I was shaking, like once I I saw, I wouldn't make a decision and that's how it was.

It's not business, it was personal, like he made a personal decision about some business. I never made this decision from songs to business. I understand it and that cost more because now Steve is against my music, he has nothing to do with it, but I know it. What if I've been working on an album for six months and I haven't seen you until you get a call and say hello, the album is about to end and suddenly you rush up and with two songs in the end, everyone in the group They are looking saying, let's listen.

I'm just being honest, of course, I'm the one representing the other three, don't think anything of it. I'm speaking for them with him, so I'm with him. Assuming all that also now it is us against him because I am speaking very clearly, it was never a problem with me, it was a problem with him, yes, and what was the problem was just the ego, was it the jealousy of the ego, all that, already You know? he Alan is the oldest he is the oldest member of the people I am the youngest I am an eater and you know, he taught me how to write songs and everything, so he was always a big brother to me, ah, but he wasn't reciprocated. you know
