We will not ever, ever, ever, ever 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: ever fact check and uh we just we just proved it. 13 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: That's the a no fact checking theme song.

Um, I'm getting 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: ready to interview Little Dickey, who is a rapper who 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: I like, who's got a great story and some great music. 19 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: A new album out came out last year two thousand 20 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: and fifteen. But I like his whole story, his whole perseverance, 21 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna interview him and pick his brain and 22 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: find out what what he's about. Um, the Oscar nominations 23 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: were given, and of course there's the Oscar snubs, which 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: I think is a bunch of bullshit. And I think 25 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: that the whole Oscar And then they're like saying, there 26 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't enough black actors and nominations and and and 27 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: here's the fucking deal, man, there's not a there's not 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: a quota that needs to be met on black actors, 29 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: black actresses, black directors. UM. Some of the uh, the 30 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: the the concerns and the problem. That's just the way 31 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: it is. There's that I know, like, well, what do 32 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: you mean? That's just the way it is. There's not 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: a quota. They don't have to nominate a certain amount 34 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: of Jewish actors, they don't have to nominate a certain 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: amount of Latino actors, and they don't have to nominate 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: a certain amount of black actors. That's just not part 37 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: of the fucking uh the Academy Award rule book. Now. 38 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: I get it, the you know, blah blah blah blah 39 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: blah and all the fucking regular ship. But as far 40 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: as making you know, some of the snubs that they're 41 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: talking about a straight out of Compton. Now, I love 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: Straight out of Compton. I love the film. I thought 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: it was very It's not an Oscar film. It's it's 44 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: a great film. It's not the best picture of the year. UM. 45 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: To some people, it maybe, and I get that too, 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: But as far as when it comes to Oscars, it's not. UM. 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: I think that the the the film was is is 48 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: very good, very all directed, very very well acted. I 49 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: think the kid I can't remember his name who played 50 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: Easy could have possibly, possibly possibly got nominated for Best 51 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: Supporting Actor. But now that all the films and all 52 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the performances are in, I don't think he deserved it. 53 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: So I don't consider it as snub. I don't consider 54 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: it a snub. I don't consider it. It's something where 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: it should be like Oscars are so white and these 56 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: hashtags and everybody's got their fucking hashtags. Um Idris elbow 57 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: Um in Beasts of No Nation, I would possibly say 58 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: that's a quote unquote snub. He I think there's he 59 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: should have there should have been more consideration to possibly 60 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: UM nominate him for Best Actor in the film and 61 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: Beast of No Nation, Idris elbaw killed the performance. Great film, 62 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: very very very very well directed. I can't remember the 63 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,559 Speaker 1: guy's name, but it's the director who created and directed 64 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: fun is the name of the show on HBOD True 65 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: Detective and and if anything, they should be complaining about 66 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: him not getting nominated as well. But I'll tell you 67 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the reason why they didn't nominate anything for Beasts of 68 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: No Nation, I'll tell you straight up, is because it 69 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: was made UM and aired on Netflix. And and I 70 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: don't think UM that the Academy good, wrong or in 71 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: different UM looked at it like a film. I think 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: they would look at it like, you know, a made 73 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: for cable film, right or wrong. I know it was 74 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: released in theaters and you know it went through all 75 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: the protocol, but if you're just released in theaters just 76 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: to get nominations, you might not get them. And then 77 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: it was put out, you know, on on Netflix. So 78 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: I would say, Idris elba strong argument UM for for 79 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: not being UM nominated had nothing to do with fucking race. 80 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: I think it had more had to do with the 81 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: way that film was put out. It was it was 82 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: financed by Netflix and put out on Netflix. The director 83 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: of that Beasts of No Nation certainly should have been 84 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: in the category the conversation of being nominated. Um, Will Smith, Yo, Uh, 85 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: I love Will Smith, big fan. I called it. You 86 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: will not get the nomination just for doing the accent. 87 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you'll get nominated. Tell the truth, Tell 88 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: the truth. If anybody should get nominated, I would have 89 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: gone with Idris over Will Smith. If you want to 90 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: talk about, uh, black actors not getting nominated, Um, I 91 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: think the film it wasn't well reviewed. Um. There was 92 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: a question about the accuracy of the film Concussion. Um, 93 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: and I think that, uh, you know, as far as 94 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: accuracy that the real dude who Will Smith played was 95 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: a dark skinned brother and Will Smith is not dark 96 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: skin brother. So right there, you could say the accuracy 97 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: it's a joke. Um. Michael B. Jordan's excellent in Creed 98 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: not Academy Award nominatable performance. The director Ryan Coogler. I 99 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: hope I saying his name right because I want to 100 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: work with you. I'm a big fan and you're a 101 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: badass motherfucker of the director of Creed. Uh not an 102 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,559 Speaker 1: Academy Award film. Um, you know you can't argue about 103 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: race with that. I would say, Uh, the my the 104 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: people that got really shifted on the most is Quentin Tarantino, 105 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson, and Walt Coggins from Hate Philate. Walton Coggins, 106 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: who I worked with Unjustified, who played Boyd and who 107 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: slam danced it in Hate Philate, he should have definitely 108 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: gotten nominated. Now, who is the lead actor of Hate Philate? 109 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: It's an ensemble cast. I think screen time probably the 110 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: person who's on screen the most. I don't know, but 111 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: I bet it was Walton or Sam Jackson. So I 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: think that Walton and Sam Jackson from Hate Flate kind 113 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: of canceled each other out. Sam Jackson is getting to 114 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the point where he's so good and in every film 115 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: that he could be nominated for everything, So I think 116 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: he's getting sort of taken for granted, Walt Walt Coggins 117 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: should have got nominated as well. So you talk about snubs, 118 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: and that's a black guy and a white guy. So 119 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I think this whole snub thing and the the the 120 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: race behind the snub thing, I think I think we're 121 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: looking into it and and and there's there's bigger fish 122 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: to fry um In regards to that, I think that 123 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: they tell what Amy Schumer definitely not an Academy Award. 124 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: Uh performance motherfucking Star Wars is never gonna get really 125 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: looked upon as as an Academy Award film as far 126 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: as acting and and direction. It's just just not looked 127 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: upon it that way. UM and and um, you know 128 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: obviously special effects and and all the set design and 129 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. Um, but that's my whole thing. 130 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: They shooted on. Really Scott for the Martian, I think 131 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: he should have gotten nominated. Um, And I don't know, 132 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I I think that the Oscars are fantastic. 133 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: I think any anyone will admit that they would love 134 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: to be nominated and and love to win one. I'm 135 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: glad Sevester Sloan very very very totally warranted to win 136 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: um uh to get nominated, and I think he's gonna 137 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: win Best Supporting Actor. And that's my my deal about 138 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: the Oscars. I don't think this race thing. Every year 139 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: there's not enough black people nominated. Every year, there's not 140 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: enough Puerto Ricans nominated. If yo, if your performance is 141 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: really dope, you're gonna get nominated. I think the only 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: sort of real thing, and it has less to do 143 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: um with race, and has more to do with how 144 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: the film was presented his Adris Elba and Beasts of 145 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: No Nation, and he's the lead actor, but he's not 146 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: even the star of the film, so I think he 147 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: might even been supporting actor. However that works out. So 148 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: that's that. That's all I'm gonna say about about the 149 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the acting and the Academy Awards. I hope Leonardo DiCaprio wins, 150 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: hope Stallone wins. Um. I honestly, as much as I 151 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: love what's her name, Rachel McAdams, I don't think she 152 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: deserved Best Supporting Actress for um uh funk is the 153 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: name of the movie. Damn it the movie with Leev 154 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Schreiber and Mark Rufflo. It just I don't fact check. 155 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm not fact checking, but um, I want to ask 156 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: you a question. Guys.

All Right, this guy, 190 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Jade Slicks at Jade Slicks j underscored J four four, huge, 191 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: huge fan, blah blah blah. My question is I'm twenty 192 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: four year old white kid from North North Dakota. Originally 193 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: I've been writing lyrics for six years, but now I 194 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: doubted uh that I'll be accepted in the hip hop community. 195 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of true hip hop and not the 196 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: ship today. As a true hip hop fan, I know 197 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: I can write my ass up, but would I be 198 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: taken seriously given where I'm from and me being white? Now, 199 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: first of all, you gotta defeatist attitude, Jade Slicks, you can't. 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: You can't think that way. Okay, you can't think that way. 201 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: You gotta do your thing. As far as the white rapper, 202 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: of course, that's always gonna be going against you. But 203 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: if you're nice, you're nice. Look at Action Bronson, look 204 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: at Um mac Miller, look at the Beastie Boys, and 205 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: of course look at M and M. So so the 206 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: the I'm a white rapper thing. You know, you gotta 207 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: you gotta go harder. But I think that we're past it. 208 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: If you've got skills, you've got skills. I don't think 209 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: it matters where you're from. Also, North Dakota. You know, 210 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: no one would have ever thought that Thuggers shruggish bone 211 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: would have been put on. Now you've got Ja Cole, 212 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: he's from down south. Hip hop is universal. So to 213 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: answer your question, I think if you if you come correct, 214 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: don't you you just you can't dip your toe in 215 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: the water. You gotta be all in uh or all out. Okay, 216 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: So that's the answer your question. I wish you'd luck 217 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: and my suggestion is do your thing. All right, here's 218 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: a question, Adam Scott. Adam Scott one, here's a few 219 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: questions for me. Says, would you say television is in 220 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: better state than the movies today? Who's your favorite British actor? 221 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: And what's your favorite current television series? All right, those 222 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: are good questions, Adam I like those this is that 223 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: you talking to me segment of the Iron Wrap por podcast. Um. Yes, 224 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: I think that television is in a better state than 225 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: the movies creatively. Um. You have shows like Transparent, you 226 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: have shows like the new Scorsese show, The Vinyl. Of course, 227 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: you have the classic shows in the new generation of television, 228 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: the Sopranos, six ft under Um, Madmen, Uh, you know, 229 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad, whatever, you're into girls, you know, Um, they're 230 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: They're all I'm not I'm not even naming half of them. 231 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: So I think in general, television, UM, if you, if 232 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: you line up the great television stuff, and that's that's 233 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: the reason why. Um uh, so many, so many well respected, 234 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: great actors are doing television shows. I think it gives 235 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: you more creative freedom. I think that the jobs are 236 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: are far and few between for good stuff and films. 237 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: There's only a few uh movie stars, but there's a 238 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: lot of television stars. That has something to do with it. 239 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: Sort of um, a dirty secret in Hollywood. You know, 240 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: people want to say it's all creative, but at the 241 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: end of the day, great actors, no matter how are 242 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: rich or successful. They want to continue making a living. 243 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: But I think in general yes to answer your question. 244 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: TV is in a better state than movies. Another way 245 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: to to ask me questions is on Truly, the Truly app, 246 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: which I have no financial staking, but I love Truly. 247 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: I love the Truly app. Great conversation starter. You could 248 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: get it on iPhones. It's not available on everything, but 249 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: it's definitely available on iPhones and iOS nine Truly t 250 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: r u E. Why I love this for the podcast 251 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: because when we run out of topics or things to say, 252 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: or if Gmonetti, uh drink a little bit too much 253 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: of that that good rum or we just you know, 254 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: it's just a good way to start conversations. UM. And 255 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: you could go on Truly and you ask questions. It 256 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: asked you questions and you answer yes or no, or 257 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: you agree or disagree. So, for instance, the question right 258 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: here that I'm opening up the Truly app right now 259 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: is I think Donald Trump would be a great president. 260 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: I think that Donald Trump would be an interesting president. 261 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you would be great. I don't think someone. 262 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: It's like saying, would you do you think Donald Trump 263 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: would be a great train engineer? He's never ran a train. 264 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: Do you want to be on the train that Donald Trump? 265 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Is driving. I don't, so I want a guide with 266 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more political experience. Question is it wrong 267 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: to take drugs? Uh? That depends agree. Seventy of the 268 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: people disagree. Uh so is it wrong to take drugs? 269 00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: That's kind of vague. You gotta be a little bit 270 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: more specific with your questions on Truy, But in general, 271 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: I think, listen, if you're responsible and you're not a 272 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: fucking animal, and go crazy on that k too, like 273 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones of the New England Patriots. Probably uh, probably, Yeah, 274 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: It's okay to dip in, dab in a little something, 275 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: but I'm not into the synthetics. I'm not into popping pills, 276 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: and I don't funk with needles. Okay. Uh, next question 277 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: on Truy the true re app I don't like coffee. 278 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't agree. I don't agree. S of the people disagree. 279 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Of the people disagree, do agree. I didn't start drinking 280 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: coffee until about five or six years ago. We literally 281 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: never had it in my life. Now I'm addicted now. 282 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's uh the Starbucks that I'm 283 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: into or but I like the coffee flavor. I don't 284 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: like coffee breath. If you have coffee breath, don't speak 285 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: to me. Um, I will give you a piece of 286 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: gum and tell you about it. Um. But this is 287 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: why I like the True Reapp. It's I could do 288 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: a whole episode of the Iron rapp por podcast fucking 289 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: around with the True re app t r U e y. 290 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Here's another question. You don't need a degree to be successful. 291 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: To really agree, the people agree, of the people disagree. UM, 292 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: I agree, But you know, different strokes for different folks. 293 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: And there's no playbook on being successful in life. And 294 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: if you're a young person you don't know what to 295 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: do with yourself, why don't you take a class at 296 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: a college and uh, you know, maybe just do exactly 297 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: what you want to do in college. Try to do 298 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: it that way. Go slow. You don't have to graduate 299 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: in four years. Take your time. That's my little advice. 300 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: Have you ever intended a w NBA basketball game? Yes? 301 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Of the people have said yes. Of the people say no. 302 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: I understand why most people would not like to go 303 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: to an NBA a w NBA basketball game, but I 304 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: have been to a game. UM. I don't have to 305 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: give my whole explanation on true I just have to 306 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: answer the question. All right, I've skipped school to have 307 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: sex when I was in my school days. Yes, I 308 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: did skip school to have sex. And fifty percent of 309 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: the people agree. Of the people do not agree. Um, 310 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: all right, and this is the final question I'm gonna 311 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: ask on my truly uh app a segment of the 312 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: of the week. I picked my nose when no one 313 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: is looking. Of the people agree, of the people disagree. Now, 314 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: if I was answering this question, I not only picked 315 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: my nose when no one's looking. I picked my nose 316 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: when people are looking. I picked my nose when I'm 317 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: talking to people. I picked my nose when I'm listening 318 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: to other people talk to me. I see no problem 319 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: in picking my nose around people that I love, and 320 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: then I feel comfortable with Now.

Right when I 489 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: reached out to you. I was probably a little bit 490 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: behind the times because you know, I'm I'm how old 491 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: are you? I'm forty five, and I don't know how 492 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: much you know about me, but I'm definitely I would 493 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I'm a hip hop snob, but I'm 494 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: definitely kind of stuck in my ways.

I get notet for Netflix for my consin 516 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: and I just was like, what the fund is it? Um? 517 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: What's going on here? For sure? Is that is that 518 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: the video? Is that the thing that sort of mainstreamed it? Yeah, 519 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: that kind of took it to the next one. Yeah, 520 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: but so so tell me how that video happened and 521 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: and is it really all like you showed up on 522 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: because the way it looked, I was like, this is 523 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: like these are the two things that stuck out to 524 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: me is that you were showing up on people's sets 525 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: when other people were filming videos. And then the coffee 526 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: table rhyme when you're when you're ordering the coffee, and 527 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, this ship, this dude, that verse, 528 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: that coffee table verse. Because I'm such a snob about 529 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: what I listened. I was like, Yo, my man is 530 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: really flowing and this ship is funny and you were 531 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: going on for so long like that versus like, I 532 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't know how many of the 533 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: charge for coffee if I'm like that ship is crazy 534 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: his coffee and filling that with all aboard the caution 535 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: when you get you can see double charging for the 536 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: call free years. You told him there's the polls through 537 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: the long largement. So I mean, I was like, Yo, 538 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: this ship is funny. I like this and I just 539 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: like to send to humor about it. But also I 540 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: thought it was an interesting thing to have a sense 541 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: of humor about it, but also skills. Yeah, that was 542 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: kind of my whole angle going into it, was you've 543 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: seen guys that are funny and not necessarily the most 544 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: skilled and rapped. You've seen guys that are really skilled 545 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: and not like the funniest. I just thought there was 546 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: like a really interesting place that no one's really played in, 547 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I to me was 548 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: quite frank. I started rapping because I wanted to be 549 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: a comedian, and like, fortunately for me, I chose rap, 550 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: and like learned that I was a good rapper. Like 551 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: it was not I could have gone through life. I 552 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: had no idea that this was possible, right, and it 553 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: worst like a sport, the more you do it, the 554 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: better you get. And uh, I just found out through 555 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: the process that I meant to be a rapper as well. 556 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: Hopefully I still can be a comedian. But like it's bizarre, 557 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: like I could have never known and and and okay, 558 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: so how did that particular video get me? So it's 559 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: really like what you're what you're seeing is real. So 560 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: the song, it all starts with the song and the 561 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: songs obviously, and I knew that this song, of all 562 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: the songs I've ever made, was like the most radio friendly. 563 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: It had the biggest features, and I knew it was 564 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: like my moment, so I needed to I had videos 565 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: before this that were pretty viral, but I need it 566 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: wasn't mainstream America. It was like, you know, a niche following, 567 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: and I knew that this was my song to hit 568 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: me in the mainstream, so I needed to do something 569 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: a little bit over the top for the video. So 570 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to take like a unique approach rather than 571 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: just making like a traditional video, and I wanted it 572 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: to have to do with saving money. So it all 573 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: kind of just fell pretty logically into our life. Like 574 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, my the guy who directs a lot of these, 575 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: his name is Tony as Senda. We were talking about 576 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: the the irony of like making the most ball or 577 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: rap video, but like while I'm just rapping about saving 578 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: money and that felt very expected. And then he was like, well, 579 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: what if we did it without having to pay anything? 580 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: And then I didn't think it was possible because you know, 581 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: I just you know, I guess I'm cynical and I 582 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: didn't have faith in humanity to that extent, and boy 583 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: was I wrong. So you just so so tell the 584 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: people if you haven't seen the video, who makes features 585 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: on the song and then whose video shoots you basically 586 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: stole footage from not stove, it's found footage, stole footage. 587 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean you showed up obviously they at a certain 588 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: point you told him like, yo, this is what we're doing. Yeah. 589 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: So the song features Fetti Weap and Retell me Kwan 590 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: and what I did was so I you know, we 591 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: thought about what are the elements to like an epic 592 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: rap video, and it's like mansions, cars, boats, fat asses, girls. 593 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: It's gotta be fat ass for sure. So our plan 594 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: was to go like door to door, like at houses, 595 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: and like, you know, see if we can get into 596 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: a mansion, same deal with a boat, same deal with 597 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: a Lamborghini. Like, as we were doing this stuff, the 598 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: thing you're referencing is there was a music video shoot 599 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: by T Payne And this wasn't even an idea we had. 600 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: We just simply were shoot. Like it was day one 601 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: of Save that Money video shoot when I'm like going 602 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: around door to door and T. Paine texted me asking 603 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: if I would come to his video shoot just to 604 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: do a cameo in his ship and his ship yeah, 605 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: And then I thought, well, what an interesting opportunity this 606 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: is because I've got on my hammer people here and 607 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: like what, I'm sure he's got cars there, I'm sure 608 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: he's got girls there. It would be so epic to 609 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: use his stuff as a part of the thing. And 610 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing was shot very documentary style, so like 611 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: I knew that, you know, so we went I explained 612 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: the idea to him pretty delicately, because you know, te 613 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: Pain has a big deal to me, it is like 614 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: a legend, and he thought it was the funniest thing 615 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: I earned. He allowed it and it worked out great, 616 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: and like every like, you know, I got rejected from houses. 617 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: Let's say, but did you really I was gonna say 618 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: how many houses did you go? And think it was 619 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: probably fifty. When you were like, yo, can we shoot 620 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: in your house and get the funk out of here? 621 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: It was less get the funk out of here than 622 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: you'd expect.

The 645 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: cars I got rejected, I had no shot, but I 646 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: walked into a Lamborghini dealer and the fucking guy is 647 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: a little Dickie fan, which is like the shocking to me. 648 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: The hardest thing to do was actually the club, which 649 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: you would think would be the easiest for a rapper 650 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: to pull off, but it was by far the hart. 651 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: They let them let you into the club to shoot, 652 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: and all that ship and and and so what has 653 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: been like the uh, all right, so let's go to 654 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: like to again. So how did you get started? And 655 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: like you know, sort of make a mark in hip hop, 656 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: like like what's been your sort of like your your trajectory, 657 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: like what's been like your path to get to where 658 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: you do? Because like your we did now like you 659 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: respected you, you you carved out your your own niche. 660 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: You know. I I read somewhere. I don't know if 661 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: it was you saying this or someone to like the 662 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: Corta kind of compared you, like to the Larry David 663 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: of hip hop, Larry David of rap, because it's definitely 664 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: you don't take yourself seriously and and um like so 665 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: so just explain to the people like how you got started? 666 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: Explained to me because I don't know that much. Yeah, So, 667 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: like I said, you know, growing up, I always felt 668 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: are you from Philly? And uh, people seem to laugh 669 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: at my jokes? And I always knew that I was 670 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: going to make some sort of attempt at like doing 671 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: something professionally where I'm using my sense of humor as 672 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: my job, you know what I mean? And so I graduated, 673 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: I still you know, I don't I'd never like was 674 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: in theater or anything. And I just didn't really I 675 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: couldn't tell my parents, like I'm not gonna go to college, 676 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, like I went to college, 677 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: graduated college, got to I had to get a job 678 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: out of college too. I worked in an ad agency, 679 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: which to me was like in Philly, No, in San 680 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Francisco and what college University of Richmond in Virginia. Um, 681 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: So I got good grades, graduated, got like a really 682 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: good GENI not wrapping at this point at all, not 683 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: even fucking around, sucking around always like as a human being, 684 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: but like no, like really not like sitting down and 685 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: writing stuff. Yeah yeah, um and advertising from like a 686 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: corporate America standpoint is like one of the best realms 687 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: where you can actually use your creativity, you know what 688 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: I mean. But it still is that living your dream 689 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: certainly not. So I thought about ways to get noticed 690 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: by people like you, like for being funny, you know 691 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: what I mean. And I thought, you know, you see 692 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Lonely Island and their mega things, right, and I didn't, Like, 693 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: I knew that I could wrap better than that, and 694 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: I believe that I could be as funny as that. 695 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: So I just thought that there was a big that 696 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: was and you know, at my ad agency actually ironically, 697 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: so I've always wrapped casually, right, so like one of 698 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: the things I had to do. I worked in the 699 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: Derrito's account and I had to give her like a 700 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: report every three months on like the chip sales and 701 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: how our ads were impacting sales. And it was like 702 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: a word document, painfully boring. Nobody cared, and it went 703 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: to like the top people at the company, and I 704 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: was like the low like man. It was like the 705 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty two year old that nobody even you know, the bitch. 706 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: And I knew that this was my one chance to 707 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: get noticed by like the you know partners. So instead 708 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: of doing a word document one time, I just made 709 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: a rap song about the chip sales, and like the 710 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: whole agency loved it, and like actually just from that alone, 711 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: got my job switched to the creative department. And then 712 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: like I started like one, I had this assignment where 713 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: I was supposed to make a rap video for this 714 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: client who was leaving, and we made it in a 715 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: day at my agency, and it was so easy to 716 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: make and like it looked like you know when you 717 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: grew up. When I grew up, I'm seeing these million 718 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: dollar puff Daddy videos and thinking that like this is 719 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: you can't possibly do something like this. But when I 720 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: worked at this agency. In a day, we made these 721 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: like really legitimate looking rap videos, and I thought, wait 722 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: a minute, like the technologies here right now where you 723 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: can do this all yourself. So that's probably what inspired 724 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: me to choose rap as a means to break into comedy. 725 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: And then you know, I took it two years, a 726 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: year and a half or whatever and just kept making 727 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: music that you know, the first eight months sucked, but 728 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: then it just like there was I don't there was 729 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: no real moment, just like a slow evolution where things 730 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: just got better and better. You immediate as a rapper, 731 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: understanding how to make a song and all that. Yeah, 732 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: you know, I have no musical background, like I'm not 733 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: like a music guy. Like, like I said, this is 734 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: a very happy accident. And the first day I put 735 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: anything online, So you know, I finally am at the 736 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: point like all my friends are thinking that I'm insane. 737 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: You're like, where is Dave gone? He's been rapping for 738 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: a year and a half, Like I haven't seen him, 739 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't know where this is coming from. My 740 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. My parents are begging me not 741 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: to put this stuff. And you come from your Jewish 742 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm Jewish, So so you got to Jewish parents to like, 743 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: you know, my mom's a therapist, so like they're like 744 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: really like real, like you know, like a Jew like 745 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: like a Jew plus like a Jewish therapist.

And so you're you and your 748 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: parents were together, so you got to Jewish parents that 749 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: that didn't get divorced, which is also like extra credit 750 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: again for sure, because I wonder with the divorce raids 751 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: amongst Jewish it's better than the rest of the No, 752 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's worse. I think it's probably worse.

The thing is comedians for sure, even 808 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: like the Broad City girls like that, they had their 809 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: stuff and I went to overnight camp with one of 810 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: them actually, which is fun. But you know, and like 811 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: the something is to be very shareable for this to work. 812 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: And what makes stuff sharable typically it's like shock value 813 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: or humor. So like the monologue have to be like 814 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 1: shockingly interesting or it's really good, but like it doesn't. 815 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it has to be three millions so 816 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: you know shared, but if you're good and you put 817 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: it up there, and like yo, they're doing casting, a 818 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: casting director will get wind of it, like yo, look 819 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: at this fucking guy looks like al Paccino or you 820 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: know this this guy could be the next whoever. I 821 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just think it's an interesting way, 822 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: so so go ahead. So I agree. I'm of the 823 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: mindset that the cream rises right now, that's like what 824 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: drove me to do. Um the cream does ri? I 825 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: mean the cream also the ship rises to because it's diluted. 826 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: It's fucking diluted. The Internet is diluted with cream and 827 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: ship exactly. It makes for more ship that you probably 828 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: can't stand. But I'll tell you what, Like ten years ago, 829 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: if there was no Internet, like what, someone's gonna walk 830 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: around and have seen me in the suburbs wrapping and 831 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: discover me. No, it wouldn't happen. So the crazy thing 832 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: is so all of a sudden, you know, I've got 833 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: millions of views on ship, I've got like a forty 834 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: five thousand person fan base, and there's demand for a concert, 835 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: like there's demand for live shows. And I've never wrapped 836 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: in front of like anybody, so like the first concert 837 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: I ever did was headlining t l a theater Living 838 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: Arts in Philadelphia, a thousand cap room, so it's like 839 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: a thousand people. The first show, Yeah, it was the worst. 840 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: That was the worst day of my life because I 841 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: was like so nervous and and and what how did 842 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: that show go? And how many songs did you have 843 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,959 Speaker 1: prepared for a full hour? Like in fifteen minutes set? 844 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: And I remember specifically like being so tired, like I 845 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: didn't know how to pace myself, Like I went so 846 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: hard on the first song that was the first time 847 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 1: you perform ever, and it's like, you know, the beautiful 848 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: thing is that I never had to do like the 849 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: fifteen person dive far. But it's also jarring when you've 850 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: never even done fucking karaoke and all of a sudden 851 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 1: you're doing this in front of like your hometown and 852 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: because you had, because you you people knew you in 853 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: your in your hometown.

And then I did a 860 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: kickstarter So yeah, so I so I spent all my 861 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: barmits for money ironically on like the first wave of 862 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: there Are You?

I know, 867 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: thank God for my I think they were right. What 868 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: am I gonna do to spend eight thousand dollars and 869 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: like a great couch, I'm forty or fucking pursue my dream? 870 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's what That's what bar mitsvers affod 871 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: to save your money to become a rapper? Who I mean, 872 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 1: why then would all right? So so you you you 873 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: you spend thy money to do the first round of 874 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: things right out of money, and like you know, I 875 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to keep working at a job because I 876 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: just didn't have time to do the job and have 877 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: this other job. So I knew that Kickstarter was the 878 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: logical stat because crowd like you know, to me, it 879 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: was a no brainer, and I thought, and I was 880 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,879 Speaker 1: getting messages. You know, I didn't charge for anything because 881 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: I honestly didn't even known the rights to anything. And initially, 882 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have any producer friends back then, 883 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not in the studio, like I'm just 884 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: at my computer downloading other people's beats illegally and there's 885 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: rapping over the fire beats. So I don't own the rights, 886 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: so I can't in theory sell the ship. So I'm 887 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: doing everything for free. And you know, I'm getting all 888 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: these emails saying like how can we help, Like I 889 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: want to pay you to do this, like we love this. 890 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, this is an interesting like psyche 891 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: people definitely would contribute, And I launched a Kickstarter, and 892 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: I conservatively put seventy thousand dollars because I thought that 893 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: should definitely. You know, if I got sixty nine thousand, 894 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 1: I get nothing, right if I had to get it exactly, 895 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 1: but if I got if I got half a million, 896 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: I got half a million, um, and I got a 897 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen thousand and how long twenty days? Damn yeah, 898 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: kickstart as a motherfucker. I mean, if you haven't a 899 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: Kickstarter yet, you should do one. At that point, my 900 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: partner actually did one for he did a go fund 901 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: me for ten thou dollars to fix his house and 902 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: all that ship.

I'm just a rapp aport. But 962 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,879 Speaker 1: what I know is that people send the tracks, they 963 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: get on it, then they send it back, and no 964 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,439 Speaker 1: one's really in the in the studio together. But you guys, 965 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, you guys are flowing, You're 966 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: going back and forth um and and it feels like 967 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: you're together doing it. Obviously it's rehearsing, it's written and 968 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But like, tell me about the snoop 969 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: song professional rapper, Well, I'm happy that it feels that 970 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: way because it wasn't. It was another like a lot 971 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: of what you said is true in terms of like 972 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of people that are getting in 973 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: the studio just because everyone's schedules are so crazy. So 974 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: in this case, if I'm being completely transparent, like I 975 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 1: pretty much wrote the song and it was like, you know, Snoop, 976 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: like here are some holes for you to fill in blanks, 977 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: and he definitely like took liberties and did his own 978 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: thing to understanding sounded like it's a concept song. Yeah, 979 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: I just knew that I wanted to have a job 980 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: interview like be like my entryway into rap. How funny 981 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 1: is that to treat it like corporate America?

I'm not gonna say whether I 988 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: have or I haven't, but I know that it's like 989 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: sort of a mountaintop. I can't wait um for for people. 990 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a weed smoker, um, you know, 991 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: smoking wheat with Snoop Dogg. You know, I was Actually 992 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 1: I was there the day Snoop dog met Tupac. Wow. 993 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 1: I watched them meet each other. And then consequently, after 994 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 1: that conversation, with the same evening Snoop dog Tupac rolled 995 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg his first blunt, to which I said, that 996 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: should be a national holiday. So this all happened in 997 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 1: one night. Neither Snoop Dogg or Tupac remembered that I 998 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 1: was there, but I remembered it. And then when I 999 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: told Snoop Dogg, he it was. It was. It was 1000 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: at the Poetic Justice, the John Singleton movie rap party, 1001 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: and and Snoop had just come out with Deep Cover. 1002 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: Tupac was, you know, Tupac and they knew each other 1003 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,399 Speaker 1: were and you know, it's sort of tense at first, 1004 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 1: not tense tense, but it was like kind of like 1005 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: sizing each other up, and then they were battling, rhyming 1006 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: and ship like that. I watched the whole thing and 1007 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: then Tupac rolled Snoop Dogg his first blunt. What a memory, 1008 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: and that crazy, I know, so I was like, and 1009 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: then so and then like. The rest is history.

I was being honest, 1135 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 1: even made a promise, not with anybody else.

It's like it's like those 1158 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: moments like Tupac and Snoop, Like I'm now having my 1159 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,919 Speaker 1: version of those moments, and it's like when they happen, 1160 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: they're just the coolest things ever. I'm sure. Man. One 1161 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 1: thing I'm always fascinated about when rapper friends that I know, 1162 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: musician friends that I know, particularly hip hop, is that 1163 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: like I'll be like, yo, where where's the craziest place 1164 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 1: you toured? And they'll be like Switzerland or I was 1165 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: in Sweden, or we were in Brazil, or we were 1166 00:55:55,239 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: in South American. And I'm always fascinated that music, especially pop, 1167 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: because for me, it's still although obviously it's global and 1168 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,879 Speaker 1: that's beautiful, but for me, it's still like you know this, yeah, 1169 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: this small thing. So like when I hear like, yeah, 1170 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: we were in Sweden, we had a show for twenty people, 1171 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, and from groups that are sort of forgotten 1172 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 1: about in the United States, you know, get treated like 1173 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: the way they should be in Paris and London and 1174 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 1: Sweden and all that stuff. But like, like, do you 1175 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: do you have plans to go to like you know, 1176 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 1: foreign cities and like because that might be where you 1177 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 1: might have your your your freak off, that's where you 1178 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 1: might get your two. But I'd love to, Like I've 1179 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: I've studied abroad in Australia, I've toward in Canada. Aside 1180 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: from that, I've never been outside the country. So like 1181 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: the concept of doing that is great. But like you said, 1182 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, rap at this point is the new rock. 1183 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,279 Speaker 1: Like absolutely just absurd, Like I'm essentially a rock star, 1184 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 1: which is like crazy, it's crazy because rap is the 1185 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: new rock. I mean, And and you know I knew. 1186 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: I saw jay Z two summers ago close this show 1187 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: in Central Park and Sting and Gwen Stefani amongst other 1188 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: people went on right before him, and then jay Z 1189 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 1: went and I was like, this fucking guy closed the 1190 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 1: show that Sting went on before him, I don't think 1191 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 1: there's a show you could put on the chases in 1192 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: the list that he wouldn't close. He's he's shutting everything down. 1193 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 1: He's shutting every show down. And it was in the 1194 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: whole Central Park. So I just you know, I mean, 1195 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a beautiful thing, all right. So I'm gonna 1196 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: ask you the obligatory and I know it's interchangeable, so 1197 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to think too hard about it.

But like here's as 1294 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: far as groups, Jungle Brothers first album, Funk with the 1295 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,439 Speaker 1: Jungle Brothers first album Straight Out the Jungle, the first 1296 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: three Tribe albums, low end theory, people's instinctive min that 1297 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Roordies like, it's not just listen to the two the 1298 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 1: first you wait, hold up, you never listened to Midnight Marauders. 1299 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: We need to we need to stay in touch and 1300 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: we need to. Yeah, but I know you should make 1301 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: me the playlist, and I think, no matter what, I 1302 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 1: should definitely be listening to all this. It's just I'm 1303 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: at the point now where all I do is work 1304 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 1: on music all day. So like when I actually have 1305 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: free time, the last thing I want to do is 1306 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: listen to music. That's why I don't listen to music anymore. 1307 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: You're done. Done. But it's like it's become almost in 1308 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 1: a sense, it's work. It is work, and it's like 1309 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 1: now when I was in the music I'll try to 1310 01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: like really understand the current curve of rap because that's 1311 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: where I'm playing here, so like you know, there's just 1312 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 1: only so much time I'm not making No, I got you, 1313 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 1: I got you, But no I should. You know, it's important, 1314 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: it's important, and I think that I hear that it's 1315 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: important and it's important, like you know, like like those 1316 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,800 Speaker 1: are fundamentals, like all those groups, those names that like 1317 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: that's like you know, like talk about basketball or baseball. 1318 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: That's like pitching, hitting, catching and you know, or you know, passing, 1319 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: rebounding and shooting. Though, those are like the fundamentals. And 1320 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: I think also, I think like it might even be 1321 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: fun for you to, like if when you get more 1322 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 1: familiar with it, because there's beat and there's just flows, 1323 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,480 Speaker 1: or you're just gonna be like what the funk? Like especially, 1324 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 1: I think it's almost it would be fun for you 1325 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 1: who's in it to to to to learn it, because 1326 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, it will just be an interesting time to 1327 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 1: sort of learn that stuff. No, it's yeah, it's no 1328 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: one really would learn it, like yeah, being in it 1329 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: and then yeah, totally I think it's no. I think 1330 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: I should. I think it's irresponsible that I haven't yet. 1331 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm just explaining why it hasn't happened. I hear you, Man, 1332 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I just hope you don't run into like Mellie Mell, 1333 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 1: Like if we see, if you see Mellie, Mellie Mell 1334 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 1: is ready to fuck some ship up.

I was at 1373 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: the All Star Game because I haven't spent I love 1374 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Philadelphia because I grew up like my first sort of 1375 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: superhero was Julius Serving, Like I didn't give a funk 1376 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: about Batman or Robin or any the like. Dr J 1377 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 1: was my dude. And then I saw Rocky, So I 1378 01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 1: have a sort of kinship with Philadelphia from that. But 1379 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,040 Speaker 1: I was at the All Star Game the year that 1380 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Kobe won the m v P in Philly and watched 1381 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 1: the Philly crowd boo him during the NBA All Star Game, 1382 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, these motherfucker's are savages out here, 1383 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Like it's an All Star game. He's from Philly. Technically 1384 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: was shooting so frequently. I remember that game. It was 1385 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 1: just like shooting a lot. It's All Star game, exactly 1386 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 1: passed the ball. But who even has the energy to 1387 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: boo during for an m v P. I I get it, 1388 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,200 Speaker 1: But I was like, even New Yorkers aren't like crazy 1389 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 1: like that. Kobe up until recently had said a lot 1390 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 1: of things like, uh, like that didn't really make it 1391 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: seem like he felt that he was from Philly, right, 1392 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, and like I don't know, and recently he's 1393 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 1: changes tune a bit, but I understand there was I mean, 1394 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 1: and he's also the anti like he's like Mr Hollywood, 1395 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 1: of course, but deep down, like he described it, well, 1396 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: actually like when I was just at I was at 1397 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 1: his last game, was there? Was it fun? He was amazing? 1398 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 1: And I remember the press conference he said like he 1399 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: went back to that game and he said he brought 1400 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: up the exactly and what he said it was like 1401 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 1: two battering rams, like you know, I'm this way, they're 1402 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the exact same way, and we hit and he said, 1403 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing thing. I think it was like 1404 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,200 Speaker 1: honestly like respect. It's always been respect for It was 1405 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 1: like the reason that he gets the most impassionate. But 1406 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: it's an All Star game. It's like, what the funk 1407 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: he shot like thirty five times?
