I am a hip hop entrepreneur started back in 1978 on the nightclubs on a nightclub on record company called crewcut records. I'm the leader of a group called world-class record group, which was the first group for dr. Dre, DJ yellow clientele, him, myself, Jay DJ Yella, and DJ young. Dr. Dre, when upcoming NWA, I was one that got ice cube, his first record deal, and a group called stereo crew. He was on my label as well under the crew cut records. So you see the movie straight outta Compton. Um, if you ever have seen that movie, he has a guy portraying me in the movie. He's a club owner. Good looking guy. Oh, what is Jerry curl? And you've given Jay a hard time allegedly about playing hip hop songs in his club. Something that never really happened, but you know, that whole situation has changed my life considerably. So I take it.

ell, first we're going to hand I had no musical experience. That was the first trouble. Um, I was, uh, at a young age, I was a DJ sound, a DJ, and fresh out of high school in 75. And, uh, when I believe to go to broadcast school and get a broadcast license, I wanted to be in radio and that didn't happen. But I was, it was right in the middle of the disco era. So I was able to start playing in nightclubs at 19. I thought I went be in a nightclub, only told me, Hey man, I need a DJ. I need a free DJ. Okay. Just don't drink any alcohol, no problem. I don't drink anyway. So I would DJ the club and get my experience. And um, by the time I was 21, I had my own nightclub. And um, my, I think my biggest experience, what my biggest thing I had overcome was, um, not knowing how to make a record. Speaker 2: (28:37)
Teach you about credit in schools, man. Credit is one of the most important things you can have in your life. They won't teach it in school. Okay. Credit? I mean, you would think credit would be credit literacy and financial literacy would be something that would be a part of home economics. Okay. I don't need to know how to bake a cake. Okay. The only thing I'm learning to do in home economics when it came to, um, financial literacy with how to write a check, that was it. Okay. They show me how to write a check. Alright. And it jumped me. I didn't have my account too, but they still got it. Right.
Speaker 2: (32:33)
bought new equipment and um, I do more podcasts than I do more editing. And you asked me about my morning routine. My morning routine is those three things. You know, I get up and I, uh, evening bowl the bowl of Cheerios and I'm starting my day. Take my vitamins. I'm a vitamin that. So I have about four or five vitamins I take every morning. Um, just to give me, give me started. And they weren't for me, they keep me active, keeps me going. And I'm wanting to put them on my website too. So you can find out what I take. Keep me up.
