<v Speaker 3>That was the best time ever. I remember mister fullty

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 3>right there right around from I kidding me.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>That was our first time feeling like we was eating

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:30.959
<v Speaker 1>design of.

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 3>School like like on my like real really ship that

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 3>really that was off the port type ship.

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Yo.

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>So back then, like I always want to know, like

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>because I wanted to act, but then when I got

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in front of the camera realized, hold on, they're looking

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>at me.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the part, right, That's what I knew I can't

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>do this ship. Yeah.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>So so was it a person film or like, what

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>would you say? A moment that let you know that,

0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I could do this ship.

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>So there's two things, probably I say for me, Eddie

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Murphy my favorite right, that's right top. It was probably

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>trading places m one of my favorite movement that it

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>was wolent.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 3>What he did when you're sing the park on this

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 3>ship on the skateboard with the fake leg nigga got up.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>That did it?

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 3>Now? I was like, Oh, this nigga right here, in

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 3>this nigga in Nebraska, what the fuck is going on?

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I got I won't be like this nigga.

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 3>But then I didn't think I had that comedic time.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>It's always funny now later in my career. Now I'm

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 3>doing no more comedy like this ship, like the last

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 3>oh G. The Netflix is Survival of the Thickets.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sliding and the kind of like Top five.

<v Speaker 3>I did Top five with Chris and them right, Chris

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 3>shout out, So so it's funny now. But I didn't

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 3>have a segue so between saying to myself, damn, I

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 3>want to be on my my Eddie Murphy flags and

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 3>the opportunity ain't come untick, I'm in high school rock

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 3>and its shorty. Arianna. Her name was Arianna.

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Because she was going out with my nigga Tree and

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>we played football, me and Tristan on the football team.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.800

<v Speaker 3>right straight a student. All that fly shit, I'm playing football,

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 3>so all that extracurriculus shit bleak.

<v Speaker 3>to fuck with my little honeyes.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>That was too much to keep up with.

<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I'm passing. I do need to be doing

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.320

<v Speaker 1>go back.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Because somebody somebody in there changing it somebody, y'all come on, man,

<v Speaker 1>the Jong leg.

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Then you go from that, my g to the ultimate

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 2>oultimate classic. I know you probably sometimes Nigga see you

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the street, yo, wee bang.

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>You know that.

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 3>I know you be like, man that that person was

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.400
<v Speaker 3>twenty years ago, bro, like.

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I used to get tight. I had to embrace it.

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, I know, I know the feeling brod be

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 2>like that with certain records, like why can't we make

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 2>another record like that?

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Like Sam, that's the record for that and.

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Go back and just listen to it like we're talking

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:11.679
<v Speaker 3>about exactly.

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.479
<v Speaker 2>So what was that like for y'all to Wire? Did

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 2>you think it would be a cold phenomenon like it?

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm gonna tell you why. I ain't think it

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be no cult phenomenon because the Wire was

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>right after nine eleven.

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 3>So what I'm trying to tell you is if nine

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 3>eleven was note eleven was one right, we auditioning most

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 3>of us as I was seeing niggas at the audition.

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 1>So we auditioning that summer.

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's say August, and in the August September, right then

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Note eleven happened. So the wire almost ain't even get

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 3>done because after that, remember how the city was shut

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 3>down for like two three weeks, the ferry, the ton.

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Of Ton Ridges the only way you can come to

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.239
<v Speaker 1>this city with through g W.

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, after like a week. And that was after a week,

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.959
<v Speaker 3>right then everything else was still shut so like the

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 3>world wasn't moving for us. I wouldn't think about no wire.

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't think about that ship. I wouldn't think about

0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 3>that ship. Then I get so call for a callback.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 3>So now I remember going to the callback. Mind you,

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:22.159
<v Speaker 3>I auditioned for D'Angelo the Nephew. I never auditioned for

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 3>we Bay. I never had an audition for Weba, Like

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 3>never was we'd like, all right, come in for this.

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I remember being in the audition and Clark Johnson.

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Was the director.

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 3>He from Homicide Life on the Street, right, David Simon

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.679
<v Speaker 3>and had created that shit. There was a whole prelude

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 3>to the wire. You had homicide then you had the

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 3>corner right. The corner was wild graphic right. Then they

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 3>spun out with the wire, spun off with the wire.

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I forgot about the corner out that that's one of them,

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:55.120
<v Speaker 1>one so born. So I remember one of them.

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 3>It was either Clark or David leaning over in the

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 3>middle of the audition to the other.

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>One like that's wee man, that's just like that.

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm in the middle of my ship rocking, yo, And

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I heard the nigger say that through my whole ship off.

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I got mad for a minute. Then I was like,

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 1>chill out, do your ship right. I don't think.

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 3>I got back across the water and I was getting

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the head on my pager for my agent.

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Think. I don't even I don't even know if I

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 1>had a phone. If I did, it was a brick.

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>But I remember my age.

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 3>The brick needed a bag for that, in the bodega

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 3>bag with the potato chips in the quarter of water.

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>So so I remember getting the hit right bleek.

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 3>So I'm like, oh, that's either it went down or

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 3>it did. But you ain't gonna get a call faster

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 3>for unless you got.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>It right right.

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, they gonna make you wait. So so I

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 3>waited to get to the Bread. I was like, oh,

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:00.920
<v Speaker 3>then they hit me. It was like, yeah, you got

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 3>the Wei Bas ship. Do you still want to That's

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 3>like with Clockers the right going for the strike ship.

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Spike had us coming back. I auditioned for clock Is

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>like eight times, damn.

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 3>And then last audition was on a Saturday and Trobeca

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.679
<v Speaker 3>on the day of the Black X Bowl. Because I

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.360
<v Speaker 3>was tight, I wanted to go to the Jacob Javis.

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I was like, you want to supposed to go there?

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Bag man, shorty, I'm sitting in here this audition. Damn, Yo,

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy.

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 3>So so so that's the same ship like with that,

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know what I'm saying.

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>That shit was just it was it was over.

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Like The Wire, I think it's produced so many like

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you know how it's like looking at a rap crew,

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 2>you'd be like, like, so many different elements and so

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 2>many different stars came from the group, you know what

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 3>That's how I feel about The Wire. So many different

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 3>stars and so many different elements. Thirty it's thirty main characters,

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 3>like word up, thirty forty main characters, and you're keeping

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 3>up with every last single one of them.

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And each character became a cult following the phenomenons, and

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.160
<v Speaker 2>it's rights.

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm saying that, you know what I'm saying, that shit.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Is insane, Like do you feel like them roles that

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 3>you played like that? Because did you feel like they

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 3>tried to box you in with those type of roles

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 3>by always sending them to you? After that, there ain't

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 3>a boxing because I was able to play roles that

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 3>whether my audience, our audience right or like they say

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the clock is or the street urban level audience. I

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 3>played roles in films and television that might have went

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:39.199
<v Speaker 3>over niggas hed because that just whatn't air cup of

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 3>tea right? And so just for this ship that gets notarized, right,

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 3>that happened to be the street ghetto, ain't really nobody fall.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 3>So I don't play it to the type cash box

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 3>you in shit because I played a doctor.

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I played a fan, a.

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Cop, but a far the right, an actual, a real person,

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:08.320
<v Speaker 3>something with three dimensions. I'm gotten that opportunity. So I

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:10.880
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's like a box. Because I remember complaining

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 3>on my agent one time and the nigga he get

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 3>tired of it. He like, look what you want you

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 3>did the roll good? They love you for the ship,

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 3>that's they bitess that what you want to do about that?

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Right? You just did it?

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Be glad they talking about you or requesting you for

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 3>that as opposed to nothing.

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.119
<v Speaker 1>And like my baby mom say anything beat a blank

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that's right right, one percent of the sun is better

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 1>than straight up. I don't really believe in that ship.

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. It's gonna be was.

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 3>For you anyway, Like niggas always want to say, why

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:46.440

<v Speaker 3>you never went through, you through.

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 1>But it's like.

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>That, It's like that, that's a fact, man. So what

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was that like for you man? Stepping into that?

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Bro That was.

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Funny because I remember having an audition for that and

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 3>reading the script and going, I ain't no auditioning for

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.919
<v Speaker 3>this ship. I got this ship in the smash Like this,

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 3>How this is easy? I told my I said, set

0:26:56.440 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 3>up a zoom call with the creators. Kevin did shout

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 3>out and the EPs and them and he.

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Was like, yo, you know what, that's a good idea?

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Was like, Yo, that's a good idea.

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Like you you made it far enough to be able

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.719
<v Speaker 3>to request that. And I had the zoom call and

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 3>explain to them I understand the criteria, Like just let

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 3>y'all get to know me instead of coming.

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 1>In here and acting like somebody.

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 3>If y'all just get to know me, understand that, understand

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 3>the assignment.

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.920
<v Speaker 1>And that ship worked. That ship work, and that we

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was off.

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:34.120
<v Speaker 3>But I think because they let niggas go like I would,

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 3>they were just letting me go. I don't know if

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 3>show Time was able to keep up with the speed

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:40.680
<v Speaker 3>of it, right.

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>But then at the same time, you always hear the

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>political answer while.

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 3>We got kids who have two seasons because they were

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 3>trying to get their subscriptions up with a streaming platform.

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know, that's.

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Always you know what I'm saying that flicks they know

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 3>how got these motherfuckers crashure Netflix?

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, they came through like shug.

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>They took everybody, everybody, everybody signed here they did, and.

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 1>You tied of your that work taking this and in

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>your video. Come on down to that Flix, man. That's

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>how they pulled up on the industry.

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 3>You're thinking already they got the cable hops, Shin and

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Mask Show, tim HBO, but.

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Then you got Netflix, so they could you know what

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 3>So we always be the casualtes man, man, and then

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the shit end up being a more iconic than it

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 3>was when it was on TV. One thing I can

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 3>always say, like me as a fan, this is not

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 3>even no question. This is my opinion, bro, Like I

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 3>commend you in.

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I respect that you never got lost in the role

0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like you know, us as fans watching movies,

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:50.719
<v Speaker 2>sometimes a person can play a role and then they

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 2>go so far that we can believe it and he

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a person to be like, man, don't fuck with that nigga.

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 3>That nigga was all bullshit this, and then you gotta

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 3>think your hope he.

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Was just acting right because I catch yourself.

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I felt like that about the homie bol King would

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>bind okay, like seeing him in Dead President's wilding Out

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and then I met him mat fuckings despite the waffle

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 2>spot in l a Roster.

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yo, bro, I.

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Almost was like, I really don't funk with But then

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I had to think to myself, like he is acting

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 2>so but a lot of people they get lost in

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the roads, because then he did Jason's livert and I'm like,

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 2>now I knew that nigga was a bullshit then.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Go did go Nah.

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 4>But that's what it is, because it's the lovelihood of

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 4>all right, Like I guess it is a conflicting interest

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.480
<v Speaker 4>because you're getting to play these images and in these

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 4>in these other lives that that may.

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Be synonymous or have commonalities with your traits, and some

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 3>of them ships be so far left you start tapping

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 3>into a dark side. Now that's where the heath ledgers.

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>And whoever, Yes, yes, yes, they get stuck.

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 3>In that, right, that was almost the worst shit for him,

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 3>the best in the worst shit all in one is crazy.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, Yeah, at least to my next question, it's ever

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>been like a situational role or a movie or anything

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 2>that you felt like was the most complex or something

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 2>that was the hardest decision or something to achieve in

0:30:24.800 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 2>this business for you?

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yet?

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Nah, because I think I'll be ready for the challenge.

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I think it's always where it's like niggas be thinking

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 3>I can't you know what I mean. So anything that

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 3>come on now, you got nerves, you be nervous like me.

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I do get nervous like that. One day.

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>It's that first day before filming.

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Like now you're about to meet everybody the production, right

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 3>the grip. So that's why when you start running into

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 3>people that you've worked with before, especially on the production,

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 3>and you feel way more comfortable, like I he and

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 3>she about.

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>To have me.

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm about I'm safe. That's right, you know what I'm saying.

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 3>So the first day be the most nerve racket. It's

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 3>just the heighest breaking ship word with the lines and

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:06.080

<v Speaker 1>Nigga, I might be just a yo. But after that

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>first date, yeah, I'm out of here.

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.880
<v Speaker 3>And they say you get nervous, Like it's nervous because

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I still get nervous doing show.

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:21.560

<v Speaker 3>records like Quincy. He's the most box office nigga. Now

0:34:58.160 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 3>it used to be like Harrison ford A. It's Sam

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 3>jack that's crazy.

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He all his ship is broke like a bee.

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Bees and that he's literally in every movie. I don't

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 3>think it's like twenty movies in the world that he

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.320
<v Speaker 3>ain't in. I saw some ship just always forget some titles,

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 3>but I just saw some ship he was in.

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I was like from like twenty three two hours, Like

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I was mad, like and I ain't see this yet.

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you that he got some bangers.

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 3>He do, yo, Nick Fury, That's a fact, right, Fury.

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Fury Man.

0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 2>So when like speaking of celebrities and stars like that,

0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>that magnitude of impact he created for himself, Like when

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 2>people hit the name Hasan Johnson, what you want them

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to associate and remember you by, like your body of work?

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 3>They that all my ship solid, No, And I was

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 3>a reliable nigga and my ship every you know what

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean? Like that's all Like I really love of

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 3>the craft and the passion so much that I don't

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 3>never want anything to be about me.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm in it as a bonus.

0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:11.319
<v Speaker 3>But I want the project to really stand on his

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.399
<v Speaker 3>feet and then just be happy that I'm a part

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 3>of history.

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the why you conditioned me like that?

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you know what I'm saying, because I don't know

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 3>no one and even Mike, if he was here, Michael

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 3>k rest in peace. He tell you, ain't no one

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 3>of us could steal no glory from that now. It

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 3>ain't no one of us, not him, I don't think

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 3>would Idris, Wendle, Piars, Clark Peters, Lance Reddick, God rest

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 3>his soul.

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 1>There ain't no one Andre Royo, JD.

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 3>William There ain't no one of us that could feel

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 3>like that sea.

0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 2>It was because of a collectively y'all all made that

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>show what it was.

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but yeah, it was not one person. I watched

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:50.799
<v Speaker 1>that ship.

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Every episode was for a different character, a different story,

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 3>and just that lead. They was following them into some

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 3>beef for this. You know how they gonna work they

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 3>way out of this.

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 2>So it wasn't just like you watch one thing when

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 2>it's just for that like.

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 3>The one off like it's just for that, right, you

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 3>got compelled, you got everybody. You have to rewatch it,

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 3>to watch other people's story to prod out why after

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 3>that because you wasn't paying attention word, I was like,

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:17.360
<v Speaker 3>how much.

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:19.919
<v Speaker 1>You were studying? Like this something went over your head.

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.280
<v Speaker 1>You gotta back. That's a fact.

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I should end up being like, I

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 3>know they had a course. I think the first it's

0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:29.719
<v Speaker 3>all over the place now throughout the country, but I

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 3>think Berkeley.

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Or one of them had like a wire one on one.

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Course like back like almost probably fifteen years ago over

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 3>because that ship needed to be studied.

0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a fact. Like you know what I'm saying.

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Like my thing one thing I always wanted to do,

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I always dreamed of, but I never got the I

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 2>ain't gonna say the resources.

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I just never met the right people.

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I always felt like there's never been a real true

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 2>New York comedy movie, like like a Friday, right, you

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, It's never really been a real

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 2>New York And then a lot of our New York

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 2>movies we hot Jack, like King of New York.

0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Frank White is the guy that's not real, like Frank

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:13.280
<v Speaker 3>White's running around a bunch of black niggers.

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Damn embellishment.

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 3>So be through the rule. New Jack City was in

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 3>New York. That's Detroit, you know what I'm saying. So

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 3>we really don't have a lot of the clip. We

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 3>stole a lot of classes, right, we don't have our own.

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Ye.

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So like speaking of like a Friday a person

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 2>like ice Cube, Like if I'm speaking it's correct, I

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 2>might be wrong.

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I thought I feel like they say down Pool wrote

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Friday Djool dj Pool. But see that, But that's the

0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:51.800
<v Speaker 1>shot value.

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 3>But that's the type of shot value that you still provid,

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Like when you hear like, oh what.

0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>You call it road that I ain't that DJ who? Yeah? Man,

0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Like did you ever ever think about pinning the movie up? Yeah?

0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Come yourself.

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually working on something now with my nigga, Little Sean.

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:14.880
<v Speaker 1>A word call just got paid the rapper. Yeah, his

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:17.759
<v Speaker 1>paying game is retarded. A Little Sean flexed on me

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:19.920
<v Speaker 1>as a shorty back. I owe him a.

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Flex if you know he know he wanted at Jay

<v Speaker 2>in my lifetime video shoot the remixing Brooklyn.

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm a little dirty, dusty nigga sitting there chilling. He

<v Speaker 3>was always the hoikies. My nigga walked up on me,

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:38.200

<v Speaker 3>I always felt like you don't get and that was

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 3>just some whatever type.

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't doing it out of no knowledge like that.

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't even world. But we got some flashy court

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 1>just got paid. That's like a Friday take place in

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 1>flat Bush. You know what I'm saying.

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I got all the elements, the characters organic, yes, the storyline,

0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:27.879
<v Speaker 3>so being his dog like you said, like, I think

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 3>that's where when he hit me with it and I

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 3>read the synopsis, was like, well we don't got our

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 3>own ship, right, I feel like and then it would

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 3>be like if I could compare it to something, it's

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:42.320
<v Speaker 3>so what you call it on steroids because then that

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 3>was a film. But it got like all the ship compacted.

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like a flat Bush misdemeanor, you know, what I mean.

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:52.000
