Welcome to younghollywood. com. What's up Young Hollywood? It's Michelle Marie. I'm here on the tour bus with Chester French. We got D. A. and Max again. Now D. A. , last time I saw you, you were teaching Kanye some stunts. We were talking about our personal training moonlighting and how we like to help other artists sort of build up their endurance and strength. You had attention from Pharrell, from Kanye, from Jermaine Dupri, all these different hip-hop artists, and that whole genre just really took a liking to your music.
A lot of those guys, because they're so busy, don't get the time to that they want to devote to their bodies. And so we sort of can meet up with them, do like a stint, they get an opener and a trainer, we just come through, do it and knock it out.
So, what's the most like Kanye can lift?
He did each of us on a hand, yeah. One of the things that's developed since then is that we've actually put together a mixtape called "Jacques Jamz, Volume One Endurance". And it features a lot of our favorite artists: Diddy, Pharrell, Pusha T from the Clipse, Jermaine Dupri, hopefully Snoop Dogg, all-star lineup. And showcases our production and athleticism.
Now, you guys are here for the Fame Ball. And I was talking to Lady Gaga earlier, and she was saying Chester French, I've actually known about for a very long time. Um, for years. And um, I always thought that those boys had um a very strong concept to their work, and they're very nice, very funny, there's a humor.
Yes, there definitely is.
I like that. What do you have to say about that?
I don't know what she's talking about. We don't make jokes. This is a serious industry. This is a serious profession. And we're serious guys. But in addition to being serious guys, we're totally normal guys. I think Lady Gaga has stolen everything that we created. You know what I mean? We were wearing bubble suits and dresses with geometric arm pads and stuff like two years ago. I've been inspired by Marcella. So, I'm in a shoulder pad phase if you will. I just really think it's 2006. She loves everybody. And maybe the cycles are shorter than they used to be. Maybe. I'm not really. I mean, I wish her the best. I would not wish ill upon anybody. But I certainly hope she fails. You know, I only recently started wearing pants again because it's everybody was, you know what I mean, walk down the street and people would say, "Hey Gaga! Gaga!" I said, "No. No, I'm Max. I'm Max. And you can tell because of all this hair on my thighs."
So, let's talk about uh, "Love the Future", your album. Yeah. Good stuff. Let's talk about what we can expect with the album.
Largely music, and there's a little artwork to accompany it. And then in between some of the pieces of music, there's a little bit of silence. It's only 42 minutes and 56 seconds long, so you can probably for the entire duration of the album.
She loves everybody, the video, the single, it's been doing so well. Tell me about the whole concept behind the video.
Since the song could be taken to have some sort of misogynistic overtones, we thought the video was a cool way to reverse the roles. She loves everybody. Maybe I'll know. We were innocent in the video, and the girl's beating the crap out of us, and if if you're a hater on Chester French, then we've already given you what you want, you know. You can see us get the kicked out of us.
I loved it! I really, really loved it! I'm not a hater though.
Thank you.
