1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,359 Speaker 1: We're in a space where there's a table of cats 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: that might not be up here, but they're all right here, 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And at this point, a 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: table of cats right here are worth more than someone 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: right here if we pull our resources, you know what 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And to say that, it's times as a 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: community started looking at each other, you know what I'm saying, 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: and and and trusting the process. Look look at look 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: at Look at what Tyler Perry has been able to 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: do on his own. Now, I think that most of 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: us in the circle, probably I've never seen a Tyler 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,639 Speaker 1: Perry movie. Some of us have one. Yeah, I've never been. 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: I've never been. I saw that, I saw that, went 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: to I saw that at the time. Hilarious. But but 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: here's here. The point that I'm making is that what 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Tyler was able to do was find an underserved market 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: and take out on himself. And the reason he did 18 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: it was because when nobody would give him any money, 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: it was broke sleeping in his car doing the stage plays, 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: and he figured out the hustle from there, he figured 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: it out. He's amazing. Like, I've never been to a 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: theater to see the stuff, But I've seen a couple 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: of portions of the things he's done television, sure, just 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: that they showed up that much he does. He does 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot of catalog. It's it's a lot of catalog 26 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: and and it's a lot of it's a lot of 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: the Mexican punny. It's a lot of like it's not 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: something that I perceive I am trying to It's not 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: your tastes, it's not it's but but but it's his. 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: It's the model, it's the black, it's the black experience. 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: I liken through through his his eyes in an honest way, 32 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: absolutely liking my careers and not that are equal at all. 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: But with Tyler Perry, Tyler Perry's fans aren't movie fans 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: or art they are Tyler Perry fans. And people that 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of my shows aren't per se big comedy fans. 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: They're Russell Peters fans. That's the same with Fluffy Gabriel Laces. 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: A lot of people are Gabriel and Glaziers fans. We 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: are in a position, We're in a position where we 39 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: spoke to somebody connected with them and they stayed with us. 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, because you are you 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: are definitely a rarity in in that in that space, 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: in several spaces. But I think maybe I could attest it. 43 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't tell me you being not from the 44 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: rat races of a New York or l A and 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: you are allowed to just kind of spread your wings 46 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: in any way. Um, but I'm the first guy of 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: my of my ethnicity, right, and but you're also Canadian? 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: So did you ever feel any limitations? So at times 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: I felt like, wait, I didn't belong. I have to 50 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: work hard, and I'm sure you did well for me. 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: You did something different see from me. When I started, 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a comedian. Yes, Then when 53 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I started doing jokes about being Indian, people started calling 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: on me the Indian comedian. No, I'm just a comedian 55 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: just having the Indian and I kind of embraced it 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. And then when I moved to the States, 57 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: they can refer to me as the Indian Canadian comedian, 58 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't get marginalized everywhere I went. It wasn't 59 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: like always a really good funny comedian. Like somebody asked 60 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld why he hasn't had me on comedians and 61 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: cars getting coffee and I'm you know, not the two 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: min one, but I'm bigger than a lot of the 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: comments that he showed on there, and not too mon 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: arm but I think I'm funny. Get a lot of 65 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: comics that on there too. But when somebody said, hey, Jerry, 66 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: what about Russell Peters? Russell Peters very successful, not very funny, 67 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: not this very successful, almost like sucking me, doesn't need me, 68 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I kind of do need somebody, 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: But the fact that nobody's really checking for me, fuck 70 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: you too, everybody. I'm like, nobody was trying to help 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: me from the beginning, and nobody's still on how only 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: thirty two years later, So at this point you're just like, 73 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: I still gotta be my own man. I'm gonna service 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: the people that are stuck with me all this time. No, 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I feel it because it's also a think of a 76 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: thing of validation in that space and knowing Jerry's power 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: in that world. Just the embrace, it's it's, it's it'll 78 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: it'll help lift a brand. So you know for what 79 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: it is that you have been able to achieve when 80 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: you do arenas outside of the United States, when I've 81 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: seen them in the United States, I know, I know, No, 82 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: it is not the funny. My My point is that 83 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from seeing delirious done you know, 84 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: on tour and being in those big spaces, but you're 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: you were doing spaces outside of the limitations of this country, 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, even North America. Right and body and you 87 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: were body and body is not my point. My point 88 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: is that you were being successful at it, right, because 89 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: that's his craft, right. So I'm not taking anything way body. 90 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: So when I see when when I see problem, let 91 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: me finish, let me I'm sorry. When I seem like 92 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: Chris Rock doing you know, the dates in Africa or 93 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: Kevin Hart doing arenas out in UK, I was like, man, 94 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: this cat was doing it. Wait wait before you know 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: in big spaces like that, I gave them the green 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: light to go. They get stuff there. You did and 97 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: not one of them ago. You know, Russell did this first. 98 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Like when Kevin I think he did a special at 99 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: the O two Arena, does that ego? No? I did that. 100 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: I shot a special at the O two Arena to 101 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: South Africa since two thousand and one. But they'm not 102 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: giving you the credit. Is that an ego thing? Or 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: is that just because they want to see a marginalization thing. 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: I think it's like it's not well, first of all, 105 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: we're bigger than him, We're more popular than him. So 106 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: why would I say this guy did it before me 107 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: when yeah, they got the machine behind him. Yeah, but 108 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: I and the machine to bring them down easy. But 109 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: one exactly honestly too but one. But that might also 110 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: be the issue that you know what I'm saying, like 111 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: when you do something, you've kind of done it a 112 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: little differently than they have done, you know what I'm saying. 113 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: But again, I wasn't trying to no, no, no, that 114 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: it just kind of it just kind of fell in 115 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: my lap. That that's how history plays history, you know, 116 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: like like you know, none of us, you know, not 117 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: anyone of us were calculated on the right, were trying 118 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: to be the first, you know anything. Let me ask 119 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: your questions. You were the first Indian looking rapper especially 120 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: that was before me, you know, question, why would an 121 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: industry build an independent person when when if we build 122 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: this independent person and a lot of other people wants 123 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to become independent, that takes away from us. Of course, 124 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: so we can't give him too much light, right, right, 125 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: And it's too much it's almost the same thing that 126 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: we were just talking about to a degree where as 127 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: you know, like they're not gonna throw light at the 128 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: wrong players, that a master p That's that's also why 129 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna buy it. We're gonna buy that. I've had 130 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: this conversation. But but but we're not gonna be big 131 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: up it. But but also to what when I'm trying 132 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to take a little bit of awful up. 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it shouldn't be, but to say 134 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: that that when that them having a machine means that 135 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: there's things done for them that that that you do 136 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: for yourself, meaning that there's there's an understanding that you 137 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: have that they don't. That's all. But here's here's a 138 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: here's a question, and this is a this is a 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: question for Russell Peters. And and the question for Russell 140 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Peters is and you know me personally, it's one thing 141 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: to sit down and you know, come up with with something, 142 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: but it's another thing. Question for Russell Peters is why 143 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't Russell Peters take three or four hundred thousand of 144 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: his own bread if he got it and get with 145 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: somebody else. Benley Evans I would be down to put 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: some money up and get a pool of like say 147 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: a million dollars, but we don't need no money. Let 148 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: me throw my failure. Feel me on this because I know. 149 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: I know, just because I've seen lightning strike once. I 150 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: know with his following, that's gonna hit all right, because 151 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: I know I know who he is. Not only not 152 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: that that you know that he believes in them, You 153 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: believe in them too, absolutely, because I know what it 154 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: is and you know it's an investment. It's an investment 155 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: that that's a for short bet because of his following, 156 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: because he got a hold on the shot and hip hop. 157 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: It should be a few groups sitting together. We know 158 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. You guys have egotistically, we're really 159 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: mad and we're older. It's not true. We know what 160 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: of course to get the hall, all the thing whatever, 161 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: so we know what the sound system. Of course. I 162 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: see what Bentley is saying, and see what Badley is 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: saying is a different anything you heard from new music 164 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: seminars as far as as far as rappers. I think 165 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: for me it is different because I could say throughout 166 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: my career I assisted so many different artists.

I want to build the 169 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: team good players, you know. And rap wise, it's always 170 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: somebody that wants to be the leader of the whole thing. 171 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: You know. When that was a New York said, I've 172 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: heard this. I've heard this in so many successful circles 173 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: and any one of us when it shouldn't be when 174 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: I said the problem I could talk for me. Every 175 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: time somebody reach out to me, they're talking to me 176 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: like a motherfucker on the corner drinking a forty no 177 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: nest you get on this man is you ain't been 178 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: doing nothing lately. You don't know what the funk I'm doing? 179 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Let me let me let me tell you automatically, because 180 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: you're not in a light. You're not you're not making 181 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: any moves, and they come to you or you know, 182 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: you still make beats, give me a beat, give me this, 183 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: give me that, And it's just like, yo, you're talking 184 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: to me, like yeah, so when I when you look 185 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: at it from a rap perspective, it's like everybody can 186 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: have a plan on how to make money, but they 187 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: never involve you in the equation to get paid I'm 188 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna use you as a step ladd, and once I'm good, 189 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm good, and then somebody else will come along and 190 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: try to do the same thing, use you again, and 191 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: use you and use you, and you have to say something, Look, 192 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: enough is enough. I'm I'm good. So there's the thing. 193 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: You guys don't forgetting new music rap seminars, all you rappers, 194 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: I would watch you'll on panels have these discussions just 195 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: like this that would go nowhere in the panels. Everybody's like, 196 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: kum bay, y'all, Queen Latifa, be real. Everybody's like, yes, 197 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna kill it. Walk out the door. It's a wrap, right, 198 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: hold on, I'm not done. My point is I've had 199 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: this conversation several times behind this gentleman's back, and I'm 200 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: going to Russell Peters the reason why I've spoken to 201 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: this about this individual in a specific way. So now, 202 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Russell Peters to me from being observed, where we were young, 203 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: we thought the United States of America was the biggest 204 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: on the map. When we grow up, we start realizing 205 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: you could put our United States of America five times 206 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: in the continent of Africa. Right well, because that's how 207 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: he was trained. Now, when you look at soccer, right, 208 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: soccer is huge. We recently celebrated Lebron James getting over 209 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: a hundred million UM social media in footprints or impacts 210 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: something like that. But that's what Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo 211 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: have been doing. So they do soccer, which is worldwide, right, 212 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: So this is how I look at this general. He's 213 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: he's beyond just here. So we want to carry this 214 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: narrative on the don's out here, right, and then when 215 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: they miss him, then I feel the way because I 216 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: come from the underdog world, right. I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. 217 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: We've been sucking for years, right, but I still rock 218 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: with them. And I'm also underground hip hop cat. So 219 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: there's somebody I believe a super skilled like like my dad, 220 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: and I always tell him. He don't like it, you know. 221 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: But the reason why I fell in love and started 222 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: writing was because of him, and not with no way 223 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: get out. But my whole point is when I speak 224 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: of him our culture, I'm trying to uplift the um, 225 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: give the underdogs their flowers. And this dude's not an underdog. 226 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: He's absolutely not that. But and I don't want to 227 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: say that becausis. I'm just saying that I'm still an underdog, 228 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: but I'm a successful underdog, I know. But I really 229 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: like that you shared the you know, sein Field situation 230 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: to me because it lets me know that there's some 231 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: funk and you know it does not but know that 232 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: that he he's almost like You're almost like I see 233 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: a little of myself in you. Like it's almost like 234 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: an m C. You know what I'm saying, Like, like, yo, 235 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: did this snig? Really? Just where did you hear what 236 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: he said? So? Mr Peters, can you answer the question please? 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: I was doing that now. What is the question? Well, 238 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: the question was, would you believe in invested in yourself? 239 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: Would you invest in yourself to do a movie project 240 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: or TV project? I think I I'm no longer in 241 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: a situation where I can invest myself right now? Got it? Um? 242 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: But should I mean, that'll turn around. I know that 243 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: will turn around in about a year. And when it does, 244 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: sure I can do that. But in the meantime, why 245 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: do I gotta wait? I gotta keeping waiting. Well, in 246 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: the meantime, I look at it and I get disheartened, 247 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: But and I go well, funding I make my money 248 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: doing stand up. I make fucking great money doing stand up. 249 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: This investment is gonna cost me money, not the investment part, 250 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: but that will take me away from what makes me money. 251 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: And is there really money to be made anymore in 252 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: that other space? Yes, it is, it is. Let's just 253 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: talk about the box office and we're dealing with a pandemic. 254 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: We know that, so yeah, it's gonna take a little 255 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: time for that to rebound. However, we know that a dollar, 256 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, times ten is ten dollars, right. We know 257 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: that if you invest dollars into something and you can 258 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: get the people that funk with you to come support you, 259 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: you would then be what masterp is to the record industry. 260 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: He didn't have to go. He didn't have to go 261 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: go you not to sell a half a man records. 262 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: He made more money selling a hundred thousand and And 263 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I know that that's the same formula that Tyler Perry took. 264 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: How's it taken away? I love the energy, right, um, 265 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: but the houses are very uh unionized like AMC s 266 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: not they're not they're not they're they're they're not. No, 267 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: And here's what I mean by that, because that's what 268 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Like they will be like not, we don't 269 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: want to. Yes, yes in a sense, but right now, 270 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: right now, you don't need them anymore like you used to. 271 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: But but let's just say you are using them. There's 272 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: no difference between Russell Peters and Warner Brothers. There's no difference. 273 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: They're both brands, right. The only thing is one of 274 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: them has a distribution deal in place, so they know 275 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: that whenever they make a movie and invest their money, 276 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: they can get the distribution to hopefully recoup what their 277 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: investment was. And if the investment is small enough, because 278 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost ship to make a movie anymore. So 279 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean ideally, ideally you're talking about distribution for the movie. 280 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: You go, you can go, you can go to show 281 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: us to get the deal. So what if you know 282 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: an independent uh, like I know, I know, I know 283 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: a brother that has a company that that that distributes 284 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: independent companies. He roughly does like a lot of the 285 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: Black the Black I think it's Homestead films. I think 286 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: he does like a lot of the Black the Black 287 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: female films that say the other But but but he 288 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: has a distribution network like that. You know that if 289 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: it's promoted and what have you, And we put a 290 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: movie on it like it is that is this what 291 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're talking about, we're talking about we're 292 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: talking about going to step beyond that, like like you 293 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: don't even need that person because if you got the goods, 294 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: you can get the deal. If you build it, they will. 295 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that, what's the deal? That? What's 296 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: the deal that we're looking at? Do we want want 297 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: to bro I think we want or do you want 298 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: an independent situation? What you're looking at? If you got 299 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: if you got the independent situation, that means if you 300 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: control what you're creating right and you have the ability 301 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: to make it to where it's marketable, it's palatable to 302 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: where a consumer will enjoy it. Well, I know that's 303 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: what I do for a living. I know how to 304 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: make ship out of ship. And so the distribution is 305 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: what I'm talking so. So so here's where the distribution goes. 306 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: You find out exactly where the big boards are distributing 307 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: their films through. So for instance, the first film that 308 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: I distributed, I shout a film in Jamaica. I paid 309 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: I was about a hundred thousand dollars of doing two thousand, 310 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: two thousands. I shot the film I went to Jamaica 311 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: and I said, who owns the theaters down here? They said, 312 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: it's a guy named Douglas Graham. I said, can I 313 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: get a meeting one. I got a meeting with Douglas Graham, 314 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and I found out the owns not only the theaters 315 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: in Jamaica, but all of the theaters in the entire Caribbean. 316 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: So I went and sat down with him and said, 317 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 1: can I play my movie for you? He and I 318 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: sat in the theater, we watched the movie together. He said, 319 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: I'll carry your movie. He said, here's what the split 320 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be. I take sixty, you take forty. Okay, 321 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: sounds good, he said, but I'm gonna I'm gonna do 322 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: some lightweight promotions and I'm gonna put it out there 323 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: for you. And so that was the experiment of me 324 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: distributing my own film in a small marketplace. Right I 325 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: did that. I made my hundred thousand dollars back h 326 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: within the first week. And then I did a deal 327 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: with Lionsgate when Lionsgate was first coming coming into play 328 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: for the DVD distribution, and we distributed in several countries. 329 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: Did I get rich off the movie, No, But I 330 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: what I proved to myself was that I'm just as 331 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: viable as any other company. I can make my own stuff. 332 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: So when Hollywood said no to me, after reality shows 333 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: kicked in and they weren't making black sitcoms anymore, and 334 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: I was like, but I didn't jive that Martin wasn't 335 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: and they still wasn't checking for me. I found myself 336 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: in a position of going, Okay, well should go to 337 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: home deeper and get a gig as a manager or 338 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: some ship or do what you what you like. And 339 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: I started investing my money in my own product, making 340 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: it cheap enough to where it worked, and I started 341 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: doing my own disc abution deals. I went to Cathy 342 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: Hughes and distributed my show through TV One. Then I 343 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: found this other situation with Bounce. Then I found this 344 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: other situation with Bob Johnson's company where I'm distributing my stuff. 345 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: Now I don't have to ask nobody for nothing, And 346 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I see, and that's kind of where I'm going with it. 347 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: Whereas my the thing I was saying is this, like, 348 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: do you want to make your own film and try 349 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: to try to distribute it as as from like a 350 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: base of yourself or I think what I was trying 351 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: to ask was I think it would be kind of 352 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: shrewd to find someone independent that might be small and 353 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: tailor make a situation that speaks to because because that's 354 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: what they're doing right now. Yes, you know what I'm saying. 355 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: They are right right, right right, So they are so 356 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: so so that but that that that it's not you're 357 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: not coming in on an entry level and we're not 358 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: accepting standards, you know what I'm saying. So if we 359 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: come in and we tell or make a situation that 360 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: speaks to what was speaking of and our abilities, you 361 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I think that that's kind of 362 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: I think that I think that's a good way to 363 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: do it. That is a good way to do it, 364 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: and you find somebody like the gentleman that it makes sense, 365 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: it makes sense. This is speaking directly to what you 366 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: were saying, because it made me mad when it happened, 367 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: and it's exactly what you said.

Because 406 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: what I think happened is they look at my personal 407 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: success and whatever projects they we brought to them didn't 408 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: equal what they saw me get it. They thought they 409 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: were going to get that too. And I'm gonna know 410 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: I already fucking did that you and and I'm offering 411 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: you a piece. That's what I'm offering. What they're doing. 412 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: What I did was flip the game on him right 413 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: right right right, Give me a right, and they wanted 414 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: the line sharing like no, motherfucker, I brought it to you. 415 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna give me a piece shove piece, something 416 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: that nobody has mentioned at this table that is very 417 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: important because a lot of people got their knowledge from 418 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: hip from some hip hop history. I'm very happy that 419 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: it was on Netflix. Was the hip hop evolution thing 420 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: that he was a major pardon, So that's something that 421 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: didn't have him as the forefront of the project, but 422 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: it was very important as far as pushing the culture 423 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: forward because it told the story of different dynamics, ages, demographics, 424 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: and geographically and that was important. And I think was 425 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: that a labor of love or did you love? That 426 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: was because I love the culture. I'm not a rap fan. 427 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm a hip hop yeah you And when I say 428 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: hip hop, I mean the elements. And so for me, 429 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: it was about I was watching where hip hop was 430 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: heading and we're heading too, and where it's at now 431 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with hip hop anymore. It 432 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: has to do one l element of hip hop, but 433 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: that's not hip hop to me, and to me, it's 434 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: about you know, I'm watching it's splinter and I don't 435 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: want to see it splinter, and even if it does splinter, 436 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: I want these cats. I want to know that these 437 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: cats doing rap know about what happened before them, why 438 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: it happened, and what were the other pieces to it 439 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: and and is it is there a way you could 440 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: bring elements of that back into it? But it's splinter now, 441 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: it's shattered. So you know, the boys have you go 442 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: to these the World BBoy Championships, they have very little 443 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: to do with hip hop anymore. I mean, it might 444 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: have the two elements, just the breaking and the graffiti, 445 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: but even even rap music barely has any you know, 446 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: there's very very, if if any elements, are hip hop 447 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: left in it. So for me, doing hip Hop Evolution 448 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: was about I want to tell the story of what 449 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: it was, what it was to me, and why it 450 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: is where it is today and hope that some young 451 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: kid watches and goes, hey, if there's more to it 452 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: than this, we should fucking investigate.

As you know, we 560 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: were talking about this earlier, like like that we can't 561 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: get unite on anything like later for the power of it, 562 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: didn't black break up, it happened, well listen um later 563 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: for like the power of black people come together or 564 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: brown people. Imagine if yeah, if all people of you 565 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, of any pigment came together for 566 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: any one, cause just the power of that, Like like 567 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: in in life altering situations, things that aren't fair to 568 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: us that we don't want to happen to ourselves or 569 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: our family. When they happen, everyone should stop, you know 570 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And you know what, George Floyd, I 571 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: think a lot of us came like yeah, like yeah, yeah, 572 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: like like like but that should happened for every single 573 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: situation of injustice, you know, saying like like that's what 574 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: the results should be, you know what I'm saying, Like 575 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: like because otherwise, like the ship is all it's all bullshit, 576 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like like like if we're 577 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna let my fucker's continue to do what has been 578 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: systemically done, you know, saying with the same fucking results 579 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: every time, generation after generation, Like like The only thing 580 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna stop it is us stopping it altogether. You say, so, 581 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: if whoever is white supremacists is cool with the ship happening, 582 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: and we're not. When the ship happens, we need to 583 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: step back from the motherfucker's that are cool with it 584 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: happening all together. But I also I also think that 585 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: another problem is that everybody doesn't see their value. You 586 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, like like like we all have 587 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: a value, and we don't understand that that value that 588 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: that my value is that may not be at the 589 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: at the level of his value, but my value BAFs 590 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: something that is important that could be utilized and and 591 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: and that's that's and that's wrong. Your level is at 592 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: the value I'm saying. Number one, You know what I'm saying. 593 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: Number two, That's exactly what I'm speaking to.

Who I love? What anybody's 600 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: salary is. I'm serious. I don't care what somebody's salary is, 601 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: and I don't care what they invented or didn't invent. 602 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that there's no difference in 603 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: the value of what they are they breathe or the 604 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: air you breathe, ever ever, that's that's, that's and when 605 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: you get together, then you become valuable. Everybody's word word. 606 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: So Dress, I'm going back to you and Jerobes project, 607 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: and I'm only bringing that up only because I know 608 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: you've tried different things.

I think 669 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: um for the most part. I think um. When you 670 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: when you have a vision, why did you want to do? 671 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: You know? Some of your greatest those you're gonna have 672 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: to walk along. Otherwise you're waiting for validation from somebody 673 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: to agree with you before you make a move. And 674 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: the longer you wait for that validation, the longer your 675 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: vision and your dream is gonna suffer. Because a lot 676 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: of people aren't gonna move like you move. You're given 677 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: a hundred, they're given thirty. And the more moving parts 678 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: you got into your movement, the hardest is to produce 679 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: something that's right because you gotta wait for this person 680 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: anyway on this person and ain't gonna so I get 681 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: with dressing a lot of times, just like damn if 682 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: you do, damn if you don't, you go. You're gonna 683 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: have to make a move you know, because people say, well, 684 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: why you know, it's easy to say, let's create a movement. 685 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: And I believe movements are the most beautiful things because 686 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: once you get the right people in the movement and 687 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: people see the connection and they see it working, that 688 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: everybody wants to join. It's like when move tank is created. 689 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: Once they seen would say, oh wow, they got all 690 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: the members and they started picking. I like old, dirty, 691 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: I like just I like this, I like that. But 692 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: the whole thing is getting the movement going. And sometimes 693 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: you got people that just don't get it. They say 694 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: they do, but they stagnate the whole movement. The ending 695 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 1: of Arsonists was looking at the observation of everybody in 696 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: Wu Tang doing great individually, and when I wanted to 697 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: do my thing moving on with Tony, what ends up 698 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: happening is when I go to a studio session, they'll 699 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: sit down and they tell me they want me out 700 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: the group that I started. So this is we already 701 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: have the lesson from Wu Tang. We're already seen it 702 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: work and they didn't. They didn't, you know what I mean. 703 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: But that's also what created buster rops.

If you don't understand the struggle, 770 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: you will never really truly appreciate success. What is success? 771 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: But not only that, understanding that struggle, knowing that you're 772 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: gonna hit the pothole or the falls, but you got 773 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: the formula due again because you know what it took 774 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: for you to get to get there.

And that's that's gonna slap you 778 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 1: into shape.

There's 964 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: no money, and that for them, they're already making their money. 965 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: So they owned the airwaves and they pushing like their one. 966 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: So when you realize you're sitting there every day for 967 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 1: four hours because there four hours turns into eight in 968 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 1: your mind. You're like, there if I've been here for 969 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 1: twelve hours, eight hours. No, you've been there for four hours. 970 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: But you played the same record and they they they 971 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: they've taken it's a native guy. You can't get like 972 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: like I understand that. Because the DJ was where we 973 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,840 Speaker 1: went to as young hip hoppers to find out what 974 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 1: was new. We studied that tape for the week because 975 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: we only got hip hop on the weekends. So that 976 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: tape that we made on the on the on the weekend, 977 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 1: we listened to it for the entire week. It was 978 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: important that we would introduced weekly to new hip hop. 979 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,839 Speaker 1: You also went to the club back in the day 980 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: to them that you weren't exactly exactly DJs now have been. 981 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: They've become pro They that program directed themselves. So now 982 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 1: when they're in clubs away from the program directors power 983 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: of a station, they're still there playing like you know what. 984 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,880 Speaker 1: But but it's a formula because what happens is again 985 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: in seven. In seven, we I was working for Affinity 986 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: Broadcasting NBC, which is which it was the powerhouse. They 987 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: had a new year assistant program rector and he went 988 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,439 Speaker 1: into all the DJs and say this is a list 989 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: of all the records you could pray if you play anything. 990 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about a mixture. We're not talking about 991 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: the regular fourteen records. You're talking about thirty minutes of 992 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 1: NonStop commercial whatever. If you play anything out of this, 993 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna find you for every record that you play 994 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 1: out of this. And they're finding the DJ two for 995 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 1: record so they can control That's how they control it. 996 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: So they One they also did in the DC market 997 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: is that DJ has become real popular if you in 998 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: the main nightclub. So because we go do live broadcast 999 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: from the clubs, DC is still one of those cities 1000 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: that radio is a big impact. So the biggest DJ 1001 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: right now in DC is a guy called DJ quick 1002 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 1: Civil because he's a guy that does radio and he 1003 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: mixes at the five o'clock and he mixes on the 1004 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: water Shop. So when he goes to a club, he 1005 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: gives you what he knows. He's live in the club 1006 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 1: playing the same list that they tell them. That doesn't 1007 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: not let's build upon this. Do you think that the 1008 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: playlists that they're they're playing right now has anything to 1009 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 1: do with now now, now walk with me here private 1010 00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: prisidents has become big business. Private prisidons going down, private 1011 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: prisoners has become big business. You know what I'm saying. 1012 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah right, several people invested in you know they felt 1013 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 1: the same way. I'm just saying. Just say, like, Yo, 1014 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: this playlist that we're talking about, do you think that 1015 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 1: it has anything to do that it has the toxicity 1016 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: of these this particular playlists of today has anything to 1017 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: do with pumping that pipeline, that pipe, that pipeline that 1018 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:42,959 Speaker 1: that it's listen. This is because I have my niece, 1019 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: she's nine years old, and my and her mom sent 1020 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 1: me a video of my nine year old niece and 1021 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 1: her friends singing whop all right, And then I hear 1022 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 1: my my, my, my sister in laws saying you're not 1023 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: allowed to sing this song and you don't want to 1024 00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: listen to this song. But my nine year on these 1025 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: make it drop from the top. But what's introduced Look 1026 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: at what's being introduced to by us, but as a community. 1027 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 1: But check this out, but check this out. This is 1028 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 1: and this is my philosophy, and and and me studying 1029 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: the stuff is your philosophy? Well, you know in Spanish, 1030 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 1: if you look at the nineties right, A big one 1031 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 1: of the reasons why hip hop was able to get 1032 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 1: to the level was and dominate the charts, it's because 1033 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: R and B was extremely incorporated into hip hop. There 1034 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 1: was a lot of R and B from the from 1035 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: the from the track to having somebody singing with the guys, 1036 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: all of that was incorporated. That's how New York and 1037 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: l A want a lot because they had R and 1038 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: B people to be able and giving it. But now 1039 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: the music goes to the South. So the one thing 1040 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: you learned about hip hop that hip hop is why 1041 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 1: hip hop is supposed to be coming out of the 1042 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 1: environ from where you are. So hip hop is telling 1043 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 1: the truth from where you come from. So the people 1044 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 1: that's out a lot of them when they started out 1045 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:11,400 Speaker 1: the um the trap music is what is what what 1046 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: they talked about, you know, being in the trap, being 1047 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: in the base of being. And they collaborated because the 1048 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 1: New Yorker got the South like ship that wasn't the ship. 1049 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 1: And I mean so what they what the labels did 1050 01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: is they kill R and B. So I said, R 1051 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,919 Speaker 1: and B was the soul of hip hop at the time. 1052 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 1: If you kill R and B, what do you have 1053 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: you have what you've got. Now, that's why you're listening 1054 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 1: to the way that they wrapping when they say and 1055 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: everything that they're moving, there's no soul into it. It's 1056 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: just it's just goes. It's wrap right now. Hip hop 1057 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: it's about ego. It's about nothing else. It's about it's 1058 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 1: about selling. It's about selling. Do we sound like the 1059 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: old Yah is in the room. Well, well, but but 1060 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: you have not got it because right now I'll take it. 1061 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: But but but there's also there's always but to not 1062 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 1: be the distance that you know what I mean, they're 1063 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: not They're not gonna allow you to. That's why it's 1064 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: always been a variety. The variety was what kind of 1065 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: enabled us to have some balance. It's there's no balance 1066 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 1: in it. But you see what the radio stations also did, 1067 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 1: right quit, you're telling hold On as a fellow Cuban brother, 1068 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 1: you're telling me you left radio, You left a corporate situation. 1069 01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 1: Correct to come out here and sit out here with 1070 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: us talking to ship. Yeah, first of all, I wanna 1071 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: tell you, I salute you because radio has been the 1072 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 1: main issue for us, right absolutely, you know it took 1073 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 1: away to scratch, Yeah, it took it it's crazy people 1074 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 1: because you guys were at that time, when you were 1075 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 1: there the problems because radio is the grimiest area of 1076 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 1: if we do business card but you want to hear 1077 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: something funny when you're in it, you don't when you 1078 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 1: win it, you don't look at that. Because when I'm 1079 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,439 Speaker 1: in it, you know what I'm looking at. When I'm 1080 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,959 Speaker 1: in the club and I walk in and they're giving 1081 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,040 Speaker 1: me a table and all the chicks want to give 1082 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 1: me head and when I want to do this and 1083 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,520 Speaker 1: I mean and I make paper, and you know, and 1084 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 1: it's the egotists involved.

They don't care, don't they don't really. They 1088 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: act like they can, but they really don't care. And 1089 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 1: there's even something that's even crazier. It's not a coincidence. 1090 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 1: There's not one radio station in the United States of 1091 01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: America that's programmed twenty four hours for nineties or eighties 1092 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 1: hip hop, not one except for Rock the Bells Radio 1093 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: on Serious.

There's there's the difference 1109 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: between radio and acting as simple as this. If if 1110 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: you ask somebody you're an actor, what you've been in 1111 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: and you say, well, I've been I was in Martin 1112 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean ship that was back in in the nineteen hundreds. 1113 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, what not long ago, but 1114 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: but but if like, but but if I tell somebody 1115 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm on the radio, They're gonna be like, yeah, what's 1116 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 1: time to check together to a clock.

Like it wasn't 1179 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,759 Speaker 1: We were just all broke kids who played and jumped 1180 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: and flipped on mattresses and danced on cardboard, you know 1181 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,400 Speaker 1: what I mean. So then when you have the power too, 1182 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 1: you stepped into TV, you stepped into film. Um in 1183 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 1: a city like l A that has a huge population 1184 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,200 Speaker 1: of of several That's why I'd be like, Okay, where's 1185 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 1: the representation?
