Transcrição completa de "Baby Come Back" - Mayer Hawthorne | Career Retrospective

--> 03:42.787 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about him, for the real ones that know, but especially for all those out there who might not know. 03:43.147 --> 03:51.433 [SPEAKER_00]: I would describe him as a tribute act to throw back soul, funk, and R&B with a modern DJ dance twist, with a touch of hip hop blend. 03:51.633 --> 04:03.059 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a jack of all trades musician who DJs plays guitar and will even hop on the keys and then performs all of his own vocals with a silky smooth style that pays homage to the soul artist of the path. 04:03.219 --> 04:10.102 [SPEAKER_00]: I saw in an interview once he described one of his albums as Smokey Robinson meets Jade Dilla and that is my jam right there. 04:10.222 --> 04:18.206 [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not familiar with Jade Dilla, he's often described as your favorite hip hop artist favorite beat maker who was unfortunately taken away too soon. 04:19.066 --> 04:19.967 [SPEAKER_00]: RIP Jade Dilla 04:20.452 --> 04:30.158 [SPEAKER_00]: If you're a fan of silky smooth, kind of low-fi hip-hop beats, do yourself a favor and spend the day tossing on some J. Dilibites as the back track for your day. 04:30.678 --> 04:31.398 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, later. 04:32.059 --> 04:35.221 [SPEAKER_00]: Still my number one beat maker of all time, but back to mayor. 04:35.781 --> 04:47.584 [SPEAKER_00]: The other thing about him is his songs tell stories, relatable stories, about breaking up, finding the one, and finding the one you think could be the one, but at the moment, maybe you're not sure, but does that even really matter, you're feeling the spark? 04:47.944 --> 04:52.926 [SPEAKER_00]: Always told in that classic Motown style, which brings me to this, great stage performer. 04:53.446 --> 04:55.868 [SPEAKER_00]: I've seen him live, and I'll get into that a bit. 04:56.008 --> 05:04.855 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a performative showman, often wearing his classy tucks look, which is why when he formed his own group in 2015, it was aptly called Tuxedo. 05:05.135 --> 05:09.378 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is where he did his best work in my opinion, but again, we'll get to that in a bit. 05:09.899 --> 05:16.403 [SPEAKER_00]: I do want to go through some of his career highlights and play some of his best tracks, but before we hit those, let's throw it back to the current song of the summer, right? 05:16.824 --> 05:18.545 [SPEAKER_00]: That is the title track of this episode after all. 05:18.865 --> 05:22.388 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Mayor, baby come back, run that one back. 05:33.717 --> 05:57.962 [SPEAKER_03]: In a mask of fun, it's provide dope Trying to keep up a smile that hard to tear But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again Oh, I must have got to do it in there There we go back there And they got a full could see, and they got to do it And everything about you 06:27.466 --> 06:29.006 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm talking about. 06:29.987 --> 06:34.588 [SPEAKER_00]: Mayor throwing it back but keeping it modern, that's what he does. 06:34.928 --> 06:36.888 [SPEAKER_00]: A classic reintroduce throwback jam, right? 06:37.469 --> 06:46.631 [SPEAKER_00]: Now most of the major songs are generally more of a nod to some throwback classics, but every now and then he does do a straight cover of a classic and then throw it in his own modern twist. 06:47.311 --> 06:54.776 [SPEAKER_00]: As you're with this one, he sort of has that poolside type DJ Interman Tools kickoff to really nail that summertime vibe. 06:55.237 --> 07:01.181 [SPEAKER_00]: Poolside, by the way, another classic DJ crew that plays beats that is exactly what the name suggests. 07:02.095 --> 07:06.818 [SPEAKER_00]: If you're unfamiliar, toss on some poolside as your backing track for the day as well. 07:07.999 --> 07:13.223 [SPEAKER_00]: Again, you can take me later, especially if you're sitting poolside, then you gotta do it. 07:13.763 --> 07:18.867 [SPEAKER_00]: But back to the cover of this track, I'm sure you've heard it before, but let's go ahead and give it a tip of the cap to the original. 07:19.007 --> 07:20.808 [SPEAKER_00]: It comes from a 1977 band called Player. 07:20.868 --> 07:21.529 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep, Player. 07:25.972 --> 07:37.025 [SPEAKER_00]: There a British American disco rock band that this was really their main signal and I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't run back the original for you So let's go ahead and run that real quick and see how player does it 08:17.607 --> 08:43.836 [SPEAKER_03]: You're all of my mind When the morning comes I'm right back to where we started again And trying to forget that you was just the waste of time Baby come back Then you got a fool to let see There was something And everything about you 08:49.688 --> 08:59.938 [SPEAKER_03]: It all all me I was wrong and I just can't live without you There it is 09:07.797 --> 09:25.421 [SPEAKER_00]: player let me tell you something i'm looking at the the cover photo of this band right here and this this is nineteen seventy british america right here these guys viewer to ask a i to create what is a british american disco rock band look like a nineteen seventy seven this is it player 09:26.275 --> 09:28.616 [SPEAKER_00]: So there you go, that's where the original song comes from. 09:28.936 --> 09:32.337 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna give them at a nod of the cap because Mayor would, too. 09:32.537 --> 09:36.858 [SPEAKER_00]: He's all about honoring the greats and the classic throwbacks and they deserve it. 09:36.978 --> 09:39.679 [SPEAKER_00]: But I gotta say, I like it how Mayor does it better. 09:39.899 --> 09:41.200 [SPEAKER_00]: But that's kinda what he does, you know? 09:41.360 --> 09:44.281 [SPEAKER_00]: He tips the cap to the original and then says, hold my beer. 09:45.081 --> 09:47.502 [SPEAKER_00]: Let me see what I can do with it, with a little modern twist. 09:47.982 --> 09:51.023 [SPEAKER_01]: But a classic track nonetheless, as it was originally done. 09:51.223 --> 09:54.624 [SPEAKER_00]: And as you can

hear, it's got story, feeling emotion, right? 09:55.953 --> 10:14.507 [SPEAKER_00]: Spinning all my nights all my money going out of the town doing anything just to get you off of my mind But when the morning comes, I'm right back where it started all again trying to forget it was just a waste of time Baby come back Any kind of fool could see there was something in everything about you baby come back You can blame it all on me. 10:14.767 --> 10:22.493 [SPEAKER_00]: I was wrong and I just can't live without you this guy's ready to toss it all on him That's how ready for this come back to this relationship. 10:22.513 --> 10:23.054 [SPEAKER_00]: He's ready to go 10:23.940 --> 10:25.161 [SPEAKER_00]: Deep emotion, right? 10:25.861 --> 10:30.883 [SPEAKER_00]: Now of course this was all, these were originally players' words, but that's kind of stuff he finds, you know? 10:31.583 --> 10:37.386 [SPEAKER_00]: He knows how to get into the relatability that his relationships break ups, getting back withs. 10:38.243 --> 10:41.607 [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever you want to call it, his music touches on this stuff a lot. 10:41.948 --> 10:50.078 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like he'll do the music that makes you dance, but can also stir up some emotions and depending on perhaps if it hits you at the right time on the right day. 10:50.639 --> 10:54.544 [SPEAKER_00]: But before you go thinking mayor is all about just the love songs. 10:55.185 --> 10:57.065 [SPEAKER_00]: and the baby come back type of songs. 10:57.265 --> 11:03.306 [SPEAKER_00]: It could be argued that his best lyricism comes when he's trying to convey the opposite message. 11:03.746 --> 11:09.367 [SPEAKER_00]: And to illustrate that, let me get into his very first hit single that really put mayor on the map. 11:10.348 --> 11:13.608 [SPEAKER_00]: So just a quick rundown of where he came from and who he is. 11:14.348 --> 11:19.029 [SPEAKER_00]: He's originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and his real name is actually Andrew Mayer Cohen. 11:19.469 --> 11:23.890 [SPEAKER_00]: So mayors actually his middle name and Hawthorne was the street he grew up on. 11:24.770 --> 11:30.772 [SPEAKER_00]: So I guess he played that old What's your porn star name that we used to do back in the days where you combine your middle name of the street you're up on? 11:31.352 --> 11:31.712 [SPEAKER_00]: Which, eh? 11:32.472 --> 11:35.813 [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes that game can produce an electric rock star name while you're at it. 11:36.213 --> 11:37.813 [SPEAKER_00]: So Mayor took it and ran with it. 11:38.914 --> 11:43.575 [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're wondering Charles Carson, that would be mine. 11:44.957 --> 11:48.219 [SPEAKER_00]: There's some ways we could re-tool that to make it more of a rock certain in probably. 11:48.339 --> 11:52.922 [SPEAKER_00]: Like we could go chas cars and with it, yeah, that sounds like a rock star. 11:53.883 --> 11:55.123 [SPEAKER_00]: More a porn star, if you like. 11:56.084 --> 12:00.287 [SPEAKER_00]: Or

maybe like a like a pinch hitter for the Texas Rangers or something like that. 12:00.547 --> 12:02.128 [SPEAKER_00]: But I digress. 12:02.468 --> 12:08.152 [SPEAKER_00]: So he grew up in Michigan and started DJing at a young age where his original DJ name was DJ Haircut. 12:09.020 --> 12:11.901 [SPEAKER_00]: which is just an objectively awesome DJ name. 12:12.221 --> 12:18.322 [SPEAKER_00]: But eventually he came out to L.A. when he was signed by Peanut Butter Wolf and his stones throw records label. 12:18.702 --> 12:22.743 [SPEAKER_00]: Peanut Butter Wolf, by the way, if your unfamiliar is a legend in the L.A. D.J. 12:22.803 --> 12:23.103 [SPEAKER_00]: scene. 12:23.864 --> 12:26.664 [SPEAKER_00]: I actually met him once because my brother who was in L.A. D.J. 12:27.124 --> 12:27.605 [SPEAKER_00]: used to D.J. 12:27.625 --> 12:28.845 [SPEAKER_00]: one of his spots back in the day. 12:29.485 --> 12:34.951 [SPEAKER_00]: DJ Aaron Castle if you're curious, he's been mixing it all over L.A. for 20 plus years. 12:35.332 --> 12:43.381 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, peanut butterwolf actually was one of the first I ever saw to do the music video mixing in a club and that was probably 20 years ago. 12:43.441 --> 12:49.268 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, he's got a revolutionary vision which is why he saw something in the mayor at a young age and snapped him up. 12:49.408 --> 12:59.254 [SPEAKER_00]: So then Mayor really broke out of the scene with his first hit single as I was referring to quite the opposite message then baby come back or maybe you could say it's the prelude to it. 12:59.715 --> 13:04.198 [SPEAKER_00]: It was released in 2008 and it was called Justank on a workout. 13:05.478 --> 13:06.119 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, baby. 13:07.780 --> 13:09.681 [SPEAKER_02]: I know you think we can make it all workout. 13:11.322 --> 13:12.903 [SPEAKER_02]: But I gotta tell it like it is. 13:12.923 --> 13:18.607 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to make this any harder than it needs to be. 13:22.832 --> 13:49.630 [SPEAKER_03]: See your tears, maybe it'll be okay Don't want to see you grind, darling No way, I just don't feel the same Just don't feel the same I know what you're doing 13:53.803 --> 14:04.015 [SPEAKER_03]: And I guess that I don't love you really more And I'm sorry But it just ain't working out 14:25.175 --> 14:43.715 [SPEAKER_00]: there you go classic break ups on right there right and it should be noted the music video kind of got a classic look to it because it's all black and white except for he's wearing his initial record which was called a strange arrangement around his neck and it has the look of like a bright red heart with the record in it and he's wearing it around his neck. 14:43.895 --> 15:09.166 [SPEAKER_00]: only thing in the video that has color so classic look classic sound but then in 2011 Mayor comes back with a smash album called How Do You Do Which is the album where he really found his sound and that was shockful of hits spearheaded by another jam

that hits along the same lines as that last one with a little bit more of a sharper edge to it and this one is called 15:28.544 --> 15:51.209 [SPEAKER_03]: Baby what you're doing now, you're pissing me off But your hair is so luxurious, and your lips are so soft Anyway, it's nice and full, you're doing me wrong 15:54.541 --> 15:59.309 [SPEAKER_03]: But I love the way you walkin' now Can you let it show no 16:03.032 --> 16:27.023 [SPEAKER_03]: But your looks haven't put it in your hand now But I took it in just from what's inside the stand-up And you can walk, you'll know it's baby right out of my life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 16:29.453 --> 16:35.095 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's right, shitty fucking attitude to do that to a man. 16:35.255 --> 16:43.559 [SPEAKER_03]: And you know what you can do when you show up and you come around with your shitty fucking attitude. 16:58.882 --> 17:00.445 [SPEAKER_00]: That's mayor's style right there. 17:00.985 --> 17:11.863 [SPEAKER_00]: It'll put together the dope love track to talk about the feelings that immersed inside them when you're sparking that within them, but you come around with a shitty fucking attitude walk those long legs right out of your life, you know? 17:12.669 --> 17:36.445 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know when I first discovered Mayor Hawthorne which at the time probably would have been like the Mayor Hawthorne Pandora's Dation I was in a situation where some of these tracks they were speaking to me a little bit you know as I said Mayor's music can do that for you and when songs speak to you they hit just a little bit banger you know that's when you're like wait Run that one back I need to hear that one today But like I said that album was shot 17:37.323 --> 17:42.826 [SPEAKER_00]: Here's another banger off that album that I've always enjoyed for a long time, called, a long time. 18:01.943 --> 18:24.751 [SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time It's gonna take a long time 18:29.830 --> 18:38.895 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all right, let me tell you something about this song that you won't even know just by listening to it This music video is a must watch. 18:39.116 --> 18:42.117 [SPEAKER_00]: It has such classic Soul train. 18:42.157 --> 18:43.478 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I assume it's soul train. 18:43.498 --> 18:54.525 [SPEAKER_00]: It could just be like another show that like mimics what soul train was because It doesn't quite have like the staging production that I feel like a soul train did, but it is awesome Everybody in this video is getting it 18:54.985 --> 19:16.749 [SPEAKER_00]: feels like legit vintage footage and if it's not fair play to them for making it look like it but let me just tell you the dancing this video is incredible it makes the song go up a even a lighter level so do yourself a favor if you're looking for a fun music video to throw on at a party or even just watch while you're chilling just be like I feel like watching a fun music video right now near Hawthorne a long time you can think me later 19:17.493 --> 19:20.516 [SPEAKER_00]: That's three, that's three of you, I mean, I don't want it ready for him. 19:20.896 --> 19:25.160 [SPEAKER_00]: But, Mayor was just getting started as the hits kept coming with his next album. 19:25.821 --> 19:26.902 [SPEAKER_00]: Where does this door go? 19:27.939 --> 19:34.363 [SPEAKER_00]: Which sounds like the perfect album title for when I'm deep in a Vegas night attempting to navigate my way through a hotel back to my room. 19:35.183 --> 19:36.164 [SPEAKER_02]: From all your circumstances. 19:36.564 --> 19:38.806 [SPEAKER_00]: So this album, once again, was just loaded. 19:38.826 --> 19:41.987 [SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm just gonna play a couple of quick spots from this album, real quick. 19:42.128 --> 19:48.331 [SPEAKER_00]: But this one has one epic track, with a slight difference sound from the ones you've been hearing, and it features Kendrick Lamar. 19:48.832 --> 19:49.492 [SPEAKER_00]: About your rhythm. 19:49.692 --> 19:51.973 [SPEAKER_00]: And this track is called Crime. 19:55.240 --> 20:14.323 [SPEAKER_03]: You don't mean no harm, you don't want to hurt no guy But they make it so hard, we just wanna part it Just wanna mark all night, you don't want to hurt no guy You don't need to be your guy, it's you too 20:32.035 --> 20:32.896 [SPEAKER_01]: I got another cool thing. 20:32.916 --> 20:38.178 [SPEAKER_01]: I got the music video running and I did not know this until I just threw it on right now. 20:38.198 --> 20:39.158 [SPEAKER_01]: Directed by Rashida Jones 21:01.778 --> 21:03.819 [SPEAKER_00]: Legendary, daughter of Quincy Jones. 21:03.839 --> 21:10.884 [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of legends going around a party on this episode, also from Parks and Rec and Love You Men. 21:11.305 --> 21:11.685 [SPEAKER_00]: That's cool. 21:11.765 --> 21:13.006 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even know she was in a directing. 21:13.566 --> 21:15.167 [SPEAKER_00]: Taking after pops, I like your shita. 21:15.628 --> 21:22.332 [SPEAKER_00]: But if you like the vibe of that one, you'd probably also enjoy a song called her favorite song, similar sounding track in the cellbone. 21:22.572 --> 21:27.656 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm trying to limit the amount of tracks I toss on as I run through this, because it's just a lot of jams. 21:27.876 --> 21:34.258 [SPEAKER_00]: But here's

another good one that gets back to that signature sound that once again hits another specific point in a relationship. 21:34.278 --> 21:36.099 [SPEAKER_00]: And this one's called Baxy Lover. 21:48.793 --> 22:17.164 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just between you and me If I gotta be your cheap Backstreet love of cruising down the street To know where if I gotta be your cheap Backstreet love of me Well, let's get it all over me Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't That's right 22:20.408 --> 22:26.752 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want them to remain just your cheap backseat lover and just be a little discreet. 22:26.992 --> 22:27.513 [SPEAKER_00]: Mayors down. 22:27.793 --> 22:28.914 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know for that again. 22:29.274 --> 22:31.075 [SPEAKER_00]: Could this be relatable to some people?

23:25.495 --> 23:37.202 [SPEAKER_00]: There's just, you could literally play like 30 mere hot thorn tracks that could like touch on every little single part of the game and of emotions that the ups and downs of infatuation love and heartbreak. 23:37.482 --> 23:55.547 [SPEAKER_00]: He covers it all folks, and that playlist would be stacked because then comes 2015, whereas mentioned previously, Mayor starts his own group along with fellow producer, Jake 1, and kind of takes on a new identity known simply as Tuxedo. 23:57.428 --> 24:02.896 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, Tuxedo hasn't even more signature sound that really is just perfect part of music. 24:03.357 --> 24:04.819 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just the best way I can describe it. 24:05.039 --> 24:13.011 [SPEAKER_00]: If you ask me to and like three words or less, Tuxedo music is just can't miss for me and it's really where mayors best work happens in my opinion. 24:13.311 --> 24:22.257 [SPEAKER_00]: It's with this group, he really establishes himself as the modern form of sort of that classy stage performer he might see at a dope Vegas lounge that gets the dance floor moving every night. 24:22.478 --> 24:38.429 [SPEAKER_00]: Combining retro soul and synth sound with dance floor cuts, which is heavily influenced by hip hop as well, as he would work with some epic creative beat makers and producers, including the legs of the legendary MF Doom, Benny Singes and Dame Funk. 24:38.769 --> 24:55.665 [SPEAKER_00]: who is another LA legend producer and funk musician who I also met through my brother as he was also part of peanut butterwolf stones throw records for the fourth time today if you want dope beats to background track your day toss on some dane funk you can thank me later for all four 24:56.345 --> 25:01.006 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe all the ones, you're called, while in your court on that one, either way I'm giving you gems today. 25:01.446 --> 25:07.068 [SPEAKER_00]: So there are literally way too many Tuxedo gems I like to play right now, but I'll try to keep it tight right now. 25:07.168 --> 25:08.448 [SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, we could be here all night. 25:08.708 --> 25:10.689 [SPEAKER_00]: Probably, they're most popular one. 25:10.829 --> 25:14.570 [SPEAKER_00]: Ironically, is another classic remake, which is where we started the day. 25:14.850 --> 25:19.531 [SPEAKER_00]: So I guess I should kick it off with that, because it is aptly titled number one. 25:25.152 --> 25:41.589 [SPEAKER_03]: Just pick up the phone, you can give me a call And you can be my speciality And I promise baby, we can have it all Cause I have never met good 25:55.627 --> 25:59.610 [SPEAKER_03]: A classic mayer spin. 26:19.657 --> 26:23.781 [SPEAKER_00]: on Epic Throwbacks, Snoop Dogg, Orangey, and Corrupt Jam. 26:24.121 --> 26:29.206 [SPEAKER_00]: With a little softer landing on the lyrics, so you might actually be able to play that version with your mom in the room. 26:29.526 --> 26:33.230 [SPEAKER_00]: Not as much of a, oh my god, I got to turn the volume down on this as soon as it comes on. 26:34.131 --> 26:37.574 [SPEAKER_00]: But that song doesn't even scratch a surface of Tixito Jams for me. 26:37.734 --> 26:39.556 [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to lob it over the rim to the track. 26:39.616 --> 26:45.001 [SPEAKER_00]: We actually created a full music video for several years back, so let's just do it. 27:15.568 --> 27:39.524 [SPEAKER_00]: Just an epic epic track and I got to say I Love the music video for this one as well as there's a big like

Filipino dude parking cars for an audition that says Tuxedo do it dance auditions and you know he's parking cars and then after he's done parking the car He takes off like his ballet gear and he's got a Tuxedo shirt dressed for the job. 27:39.544 --> 27:41.265 [SPEAKER_00]: You want I suppose in this case 27:41.849 --> 27:58.177 [SPEAKER_00]: Know your group you're auditioning for there's all these dancers in there They're like dancing get him ready for the audition stuff and he's you know shows up this tuxedo Sure, he's trying to get in there dance with him and they're looking at him like This guy so he just gets in the mirror and he's like all right dude fucking just hit your moves 27:58.557 --> 28:00.098 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this fool can dance though. 28:00.418 --> 28:01.839 [SPEAKER_00]: They're all looking on like whoa wait. 28:02.019 --> 28:02.660 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey check them out. 28:02.920 --> 28:04.681 [SPEAKER_00]: They'll kind of walk around them next thing. 28:04.741 --> 28:05.342 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what? 28:05.642 --> 28:17.009 [SPEAKER_00]: They're all doing perfect choreography alongside them like it's a Michael Jackson video or something I then they end up doing a soul train light thing and I will say as an editor They only show a couple of them go down the chill train line and one of them. 28:17.069 --> 28:21.192 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like You could definitely cut a cup of that like these people are awesome dancers 28:21.852 --> 28:23.033 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the sides of the point. 28:23.314 --> 28:36.947 [SPEAKER_00]: We actually created a legit music video to this back in, I'd say, about 2018, me, Jag, Jason, and our boy Kevin Derabi, the jam wagon crew were dancing on the train tracks of Santa Ana and such. 28:37.067 --> 28:39.870 [SPEAKER_00]: I was really just jones and put together some music videos back then. 28:39.890 --> 28:42.352 [SPEAKER_00]: The idea of like putting together a music video to adopt track. 28:42.472 --> 28:57.339 [SPEAKER_00]: I've always been something I always kind of want to do so I'm actually just like I'm gonna make my own and nothing brought it to life better than Tuxedo I thought but that reminds me of another Tuxedo jam that I made another music video to in Chicago this one is called back in town 29:23.794 --> 29:27.498 [SPEAKER_00]: That is right, this was stark in the middle of my music video era. 29:27.778 --> 29:32.603 [SPEAKER_00]: I was in Chicago for a few days and had a GoPro with me and was just skating all over the city. 29:32.923 --> 29:38.408 [SPEAKER_00]: So I just started setting up shop in different cool areas and just danced around in different spots of the city. 29:38.929 --> 29:41.111 [SPEAKER_00]: I was TikTok before TikTok folks. 29:41.871 --> 29:43.473 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe TikTok was already running out of no. 29:43.873 --> 29:45.455 [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't checking it out back then, but... 29:45.655 --> 29:46.655 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was having fun with it. 29:46.895 --> 29:51.096 [SPEAKER_00]: Making fun videos to fun music, I guess that's what led me to the dice, DJs. 29:51.356 --> 29:56.358 [SPEAKER_00]: But let me transition to some songs that really give more of the Tuxedo sound. 29:56.478 --> 30:01.379 [SPEAKER_00]: They really liked working with the classic synth beats, upbeat horns, as you just heard in that one. 30:01.639 --> 30:07.780 [SPEAKER_00]: And often with his female backup singers that created a vibe that really just lit up the dance floor. 30:08.040 --> 30:14.322 [SPEAKER_00]: So real quickly, I'm just gonna play a quick snippet of just a couple songs that really drive home that Tuxedo sound. 30:18.605 --> 30:19.731 [SPEAKER_03]: Can't wait, can't wait 30:49.567 --> 31:09.583 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that song is called Close, which is pretty good the first time you hear it, but it might even sound better the second time around, which reminds me of another toksita track called the second time around. 31:17.297 --> 31:24.826 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's gonna be better The second time I have the second time 31:39.428 --> 31:41.470 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's just say a cool thing about this music video. 31:42.530 --> 31:53.980 [SPEAKER_00]: They have these dancers that are performing surrounded by pinball machines and then they look at the pinball machine and there's a mayor and his boy Jake won performing on the ping pong table. 31:54.581 --> 31:55.262 [SPEAKER_00]: Not ping pong. 31:55.462 --> 31:55.942 [SPEAKER_00]: Pinball. 31:56.683 --> 31:59.125 [SPEAKER_00]: Was I saying ping pong the whole time it doesn't matter, you know what I mean? 31:59.285 --> 32:00.305 [SPEAKER_00]: They're in the pinball game. 32:00.446 --> 32:03.947 [SPEAKER_00]: The balls like zip it around though, but they don't have their their care less man. 32:03.967 --> 32:12.691 [SPEAKER_00]: They're jamming and I'm almost certain this video was shot at bar 82 Which is a barcade in East Los Angeles kind of near downtown. 32:12.871 --> 32:13.731 [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're place my brother. 32:13.791 --> 32:14.671 [SPEAKER_00]: Did you wait frequently? 32:14.912 --> 32:16.692 [SPEAKER_00]: But that song is so good, right? 32:18.453 --> 32:22.955 [SPEAKER_00]: Which reminds me of another Tuxedo Bangor called so good 32:55.755 --> 32:56.515 [SPEAKER_00]: So good, all right. 32:57.636 --> 32:57.956 [SPEAKER_00]: All right. 32:58.236 --> 33:05.200 [SPEAKER_00]: We're getting two side-tracked with Tuxedo Jams, which is just I feel like it's gonna happen when you start running through mayors Discography. 33:05.501 --> 33:08.222 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously I can rock Tuxedo Jams all day. 33:08.262 --> 33:10.844 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, can I say I fucks with the Tux? 33:13.065 --> 33:18.328 [SPEAKER_00]: Which reminds me of another Tuxedo jam called fucks with the Tux! 33:18.588 --> 33:20.069 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get it 33:34.412 --> 33:37.114 [SPEAKER_03]: All right, all right, all right. 34:02.823 --> 34:19.687 [SPEAKER_00]: There's actually a

reason that I wanted to get that one in there real quick, because it has a signature soundlight in it that you might have heard right there at the end, that Mayor will hit when you watch him perform live with Tuxedo and they call it the Hobutton with that little Snoop Dogg featured portion. 34:19.887 --> 34:22.608 [SPEAKER_00]: Matter of fact, let's run it back right now, just the Hobutton sound. 34:23.728 --> 34:25.649 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hit it again, Mayor. 34:28.389 --> 34:35.121 [SPEAKER_00]: So when you see Mayor perform with Tuxedo, he will actually bring out a button that he hits when he performs and it plays that sound. 34:35.282 --> 34:35.342 [SPEAKER_00]: Ha! 34:36.141 --> 34:37.162 [SPEAKER_00]: and holy shit. 34:38.102 --> 34:39.323 [SPEAKER_00]: I actually just found it. 34:39.523 --> 34:44.987 [SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to see if the sound was available and there in it somewhere would apparently go to just buy the actual button, which makes sense. 34:45.368 --> 34:46.448 [SPEAKER_00]: That shit sells itself. 34:46.589 --> 34:49.150 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Ryan's birthday is October 18th. 34:49.210 --> 34:57.837 [SPEAKER_00]: If anyone wants to send him the whole button as a gift, that looks like, hey, you could refer to it as payment for all the jams I'd be giving you as backing tracks. 34:57.957 --> 34:59.618 [SPEAKER_03]: That could be your way, thank me later, you know what I mean? 34:59.698 --> 35:10.706 [SPEAKER_00]: But anyways, yeah, as I mentioned earlier, I did actually see them perform with Tuxedo ones at a spot in L.A. called the Wisdom which felt like a performance I was set up in the stars because it happened almost completely by chance. 35:10.966 --> 35:18.152 [SPEAKER_00]: Rarely, do I ever, A really go sea concerts, B looked to do stuff from my birthday, a couple of years back, my birthday landed on a Saturday. 35:18.452 --> 35:19.633 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought maybe I should do something with this. 35:19.893 --> 35:26.474 [SPEAKER_00]: Ask somebody where's a cool place in LA to maybe celebrate the birthday they told me about this place called the wisdom Which is sort of like a little bit of a pop-up spot. 35:26.494 --> 35:40.857 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's the same location, but they have vents pop up there They have projections all over the little dome wall It's kind of like what the sphere was but like on a much smaller scale and like not nearly as much money went into it They just literally have projections around like a dome tent, but it's cool venue. 35:40.877 --> 35:42.977 [SPEAKER_00]: I was like what's he who's playing there on my birthday? 35:43.537 --> 35:44.177 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what? 35:44.477 --> 35:45.617 [SPEAKER_00]: Tuxedo was in town. 35:45.797 --> 35:47.038 [SPEAKER_00]: I made a lady at my boy Jason. 35:47.278 --> 35:47.918 [SPEAKER_00]: We should go right. 35:48.098 --> 35:48.958 [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, yeah, let's do it 35:49.398 --> 36:01.141 [SPEAKER_00]: Then me being in the edit I was I was like a

Friday night before I went down to a new port because Justin told me He's karaoke DJing coming out in there and like celebrating birthday with us ended up probably during your way too much Just feel like death the next day. 36:01.501 --> 36:02.322 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking into the clock. 36:02.362 --> 36:07.423 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like five o'clock I really don't feel like going anywhere Jason's texting me like hey, are we doing this and I'm like, you know what? 36:08.243 --> 36:09.004 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna power through. 36:09.144 --> 36:09.604 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it. 36:09.764 --> 36:10.905 [SPEAKER_00]: We end up making it happen. 36:11.325 --> 36:21.812 [SPEAKER_00]: There's like max a hundred people in there I don't know if you're been in a venue like that where it's like a dope artist and there's just like a small handful of you there And on top of that you get the projections all over it was literally my favorite performance. 36:21.832 --> 36:25.254 [SPEAKER_00]: I've ever seen I am literally standing stage side 36:25.454 --> 36:27.095 [SPEAKER_00]: They do all their Tuxedo jams. 36:27.375 --> 36:28.796 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm jamming every single one of them. 36:28.936 --> 36:31.517 [SPEAKER_00]: They hit their last song and then they walk up the stage. 36:31.617 --> 36:41.003 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you're a person that goes to see a dope performance like this, you know the golden rule is, you're going to wait around there for about another 10, 15 minutes, see if they're really gone. 36:41.803 --> 37:08.636 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what about five minutes later here they come back on stage mayor the ban the backup singer girl Who I actually want to give a shout out to because she is tremendous just an awesome singer and performer So I looked it up her name is Gavin Torek and Google AI says she's commonly known as LA's disco queen All right go Gavin yeah the whole set piece is awesome So they all come back on stage with their glasses filled up and you know what was in those glasses. 37:09.156 --> 37:09.997 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll let mayor tell it 37:39.323 --> 38:08.783 [SPEAKER_03]: I can't get enough, and I'm gonna have me a turn We'll be with all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right 38:18.438 --> 38:22.760 [SPEAKER_00]: As right, Tuxedo hits the encore with any in ginger ale. 38:24.895 --> 38:28.476 [SPEAKER_00]: which is not only a fantastic encore, it's also a pretty good drink. 38:28.636 --> 38:30.077 [SPEAKER_00]: I like the ginger ale part of it, you know. 38:30.557 --> 38:35.278 [SPEAKER_00]: Ginger ale underrated mixed beverage that you often forget about often gets slept on. 38:35.558 --> 38:41.280 [SPEAKER_00]: But here's why it's such an epic memory that's specific performance for me because as I mentioned, I'm standing there right up against the stage. 38:41.420 --> 38:45.382 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm vibing there every single song because the environment is electric and so is each song. 38:45.642 --> 38:48.223 [SPEAKER_00]: Mayor points to me and he's like, let's see what you got. 38:48.683 --> 38:49.263 [SPEAKER_00]: Hits the... 38:52.257 --> 38:54.278 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he puts the mic up to me and I lay it on him. 38:54.659 --> 38:56.460 [SPEAKER_00]: Henny and ginger ale. 38:56.820 --> 38:58.982 [SPEAKER_00]: And Mayor does one of those things where he kind of looks around. 38:59.002 --> 39:03.425 [SPEAKER_00]: He does the head nod, you know, to his back up singer is like, we'll kind of nailed that one, you know?
