So when this movie 29 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: came about day Shift, which is blowing the funk up, 30 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: like everybody's waiting on this, the director was like, we 31 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: were trying to find the cat.

Like that's what people are really 36 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: responded to. Like I got the chance to watch it 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: with the crowd watching this movie, and so when they 38 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: see Snoop whooping ass and being a real legitimate action hero, 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: he was going crazy on screen for this role. It 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: was challenging because I had to do a lot of 41 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: like preparation, a lot of like working out and going 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: to eight seven eleven eighty seven eleven shout out to 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: them because they really worked with me to get me right, 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: because I was kind of like, I'm an athlete, but 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: at the same time, I've never done this. I always 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: had stunt doubles, and I wanted to like really like 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: do my own ship. I didn't really want to have 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: a stunt up. I wanted him to do like minimum work. 49 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: So I had to put in all of that work 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: and showing up and carrying this big ass fucking gun 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: that pounds that ship damned the heavy than me, and 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: I had to like hold it to where it didn't 53 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: look like my posture was Often then, even when it 54 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: was time to act, I was on Scream with Jamie, 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: so my dog and I get to play a character 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: where it's not snoop Dog, it's Big John. It's a 57 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: real character. So I got a chance to get with 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: the director and he gave me a lot of intel 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: on who Big John was. To me, Big John was 60 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: JJ the director, it was it was him. It was 61 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: me playing him because he was a vet. He had 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: been overseas and foughting award came back and some of 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: the elements of my character was him. So it was 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: for him being able to be directed by somebody like 65 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: JJ and the work with my buddy Jamie. You've played 66 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: a football player, a super villain, now a cowboy. Come on, 67 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: now you're a vampire hunter. Do you always wanted to 68 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: do this? Like action horror? I'm gonna be honest with you, 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: piggyback on what he's saying. J. J. Perry for those 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: of you who don't know. J. J. Perry is the 71 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: director who directed all of the second unit on Fast 72 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: and Furious on John Wick Django, So he directed all 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: of those like high octam you know scenes that you 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: that you see. So this was his debut, so it 75 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily about just the vehicle of hunting vampires. It 76 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: was the action that he showed me. He showed me 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: these prevays where and if you see it like like 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: like even on the trailer, I'm fighting this uh this 79 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: grandmother and like on the trailer, like you see me 80 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: blow this white grandmother to mother mother bath nigga. Didn't 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: even watch the whole trailer. They call me, y, you 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: shooting grandmother. You've seen this wife just go through. I said, 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: watch the whole trailer. But what was great about it 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: was it was practical. So these are like sixty guys 85 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: at the parkour guys and girls, and you know, they 86 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: were amazing, So that's why we jumped into it. And 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: then the Space of Vampires. Man, everybody loves that. You 88 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: gotta understand, like when the zombie of the Vampire World 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and this guy says, when we go into this world, 90 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna make it practical, like we're gonna be union 91 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: guys things for money. That's something that we understand, you 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And at the same time, you 93 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: know you got Big John, is your is your guys. 94 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: So all of those elements put together, man, turned out 95 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: something really really special for Netflix because you you didn't 96 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: want to talk about you Jamie, you make a call 97 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: like you see it, like you'll talk about movies that 98 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: did well, you're talking about movies that didn't do How 99 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: do you like, how do you know that he was 100 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: that moment shooting this where you felt like, oh this 101 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: is this feels like something. I think it might be 102 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: one of those ones. I think the very a getting 103 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: before we even get get into it. And I always 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: have to be careful sometimes when I'm talking about, you know, 105 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: the movies that I've done I think was good because 106 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: those are directors and writers that you know, but they 107 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, they blood, sweat and tears to do it. 108 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: But sometimes I got to just be honest. I said, 109 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: I put it on me. It's my bad, my bad choice. 110 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: But this is a great choice because you've got those 111 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: great elements. Man. And when we started shooting this and 112 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: I see Snoop like handling his ship and then handling 113 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: that gun and then looking at the prevaise of what 114 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: we just shot, I said, oh, we get out of here, 115 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: especially for us here for a platform like Netflix, which 116 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: is gore horror a little off center and things like that, 117 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: and the way it absolutely launches at the beginning. It 118 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: was a good minute speaking about in the beginning. One 119 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: thing that stood out to me is the music. When 120 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: you're opening scene, you have California Love remixing. You got 121 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: check yourself on ice Cube. You do know Nipsey Hustle 122 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: grinding all my life. So it's like if the same 123 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: as l A calibastas you know l A, you gotta 124 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: have l A music which you listened to in this 125 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: environment and vampires like aster Ship. That's the T shirt 126 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: right there. How challenges was the action for you? Jamie 127 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: like slips that he had to get in shape, Like 128 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: do you do a lot of your stuff or do 129 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: you how do you stunt doubles? Like how's it works 130 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: for you? Initial? Man? Like we were all all all in, 131 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, like myself, Snoop Dave Franco. And what was 132 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: great is that do the so great of what he 133 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: does is when we jumped in and did what we 134 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: needed to do. It wasn't It wasn't as taxing and 135 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: say someone who doesn't shoot action, like you have a 136 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: director that that knows the movie, but you don't shoot action, 137 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: so it's laborious. You like, sometimes ain't gonna get in there, man, 138 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: because you don't know you know what's going on. We 139 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: felt really safe doing it. We weren't gonna get injured 140 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: and nothing like that. And then being involved in and 141 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: when you see the see the stunts, it's seamless. You 142 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: can't tell who the stunt person is and who ain't. 143 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: So you know those and those are some big you 144 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: know we have One day, Jamie, when we was in Atlanta, 145 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: I got to the set and um, normally I get 146 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: to the set this before we're shooting. I do a 147 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: little workout training with the guns and stunts and all 148 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: this ship with the boxes and the carpet so when 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: they don't get hurt. So we're doing this ship for 150 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: like three days and all of a sudden, j J 151 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: said something to me. I wasn't even listening to him. 152 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: So I finished the workout something they could come. That's 153 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: buffers and motherfucker with a bunch of dumbbells and ropes 154 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: and ship. I'm like, I'm done. He's like, no, you're not. 155 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: This the second part of the workout. You gotta lift 156 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: to do this and yoga and hand me and dogward 157 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: downward dogs. This got to do with the role. But 158 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: then once we start shooting, all that ship matter. It 159 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: really fucking matters. It's like an athlete that trains to 160 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: be an athlete. You don't understand why you lifting, squatting 161 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: and running and training, but when the bust and get 162 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: him a touchdown, you're like all that training in preparation. 163 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: I see that when when this smoothe is complete as 164 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: far as like how I put in that work on 165 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: that extra work.

It's like special, 335 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, nigg So they ended up 336 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: laying it out and that's how the soundtrack for any 337 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: Give a Son they got done. And then on this 338 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: we got some music coming for this. Got this one 339 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: called mowing down Vamps with my best friend Bug, which 340 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: is what he says at the end of the movie. 341 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: So we shot a little video of that and then 342 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: some other musical things that have happened throughout the month 343 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: because we want to keep people excited about the movie 344 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: for the next thirty days. But even the earl of 345 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: the oh five earl like Snoop, he was kicking out 346 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: with for all making music.

I mean I already knew it, Nigga concerned, 349 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Like like Brian said, he should have been started keeping 350 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: it one fire and separating the comedy from the singing, 351 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: because sometimes when he would do his comedy and sing 352 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: Motherfucker's would get mad and he wouldn't sing the whole song. 353 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: So that was like signs of it, And didn't see 354 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: him actually have great records that were dope.

He forced his sm like I'm hot down. 360 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: What was that ever? Like like that mid two thousands 361 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: you were like to go to guys for a lot 362 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: of artists. I don't really, I mean, it was just 363 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: happening so fast. That song that we did. We we 364 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: literally he didn't tell your whole story.

Santa Claus had something like going. 368 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: I said, I said, what's what's having? Guy? So that 369 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: so it's Christmas Eve when remember you had to do 370 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: was just rolling blunts.

We're in the studio going. 374 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: Then we hooped. We hooped that night and then we 375 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: did a song, and then we forgot about them because 376 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: I was high as ship. And so a few weeks 377 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: later I went back, went through my up, went through 378 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: my ship. I said, I think we did a song, 379 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: and then that's how I also did a record called 380 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: of You and I'm predictable on your project too. Did 381 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: that come first or did the I'm not for sure, man, 382 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: it was all the haze, but it was just a 383 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: good time. It was a really, really, really great time man. 384 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: And let's ni a little dinge the waters nigger a little, 385 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: but everybody wanted a piece of you, Jamie. You had 386 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: fifty build you up. You want the Massacre That was 387 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: like his big, biggest selling debut at the time, and 388 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: then like Blue to Chris Georgia wasn't in the video 389 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: call Grill check out. All of this is is because 390 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: I championed their talents, like I just I just want 391 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: him to women when I see Snoop, just just staying 392 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: focused on Snoop, Like like when I see Snoop, I 393 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: see everything. You'll talk about. How y'all see Snoop everywhere 394 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: is because Snoop is a quintessential everything, Like for him 395 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: to be able to cross pollinate markets all over the 396 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: world and an incredible figure coming from where he came 397 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: from and looking at his his struggle. There used to 398 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: be days when me and Snoop was like, NI good, 399 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: some bad ship could really happen right now, so we 400 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: need to walk precisely because you know, at that time 401 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: it was fun, but that ship was dangerous. Is the mother, 402 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: And I think that's why the music what he did 403 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: was so amazing because sometimes we was really really running 404 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: for his life. So now you see you see him 405 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: blooming because that came from some real dirt. That makes 406 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: how proud of you are you of you excuse me, 407 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: how proud of you are you of your album's curate 408 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: him up book too.

I didn't have death Through at the time, 531 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: so what I was doing was trying to figure out 532 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: how to give my masters back, which was the key um. 533 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: And then the label became available. First it was more feasible, 534 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: so I snatched the label up, and then I went 535 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: after my masters, and then I went after the publishing. 536 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: And then I went to him and said, I want 537 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: to make you to see all the death Row so 538 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: we can handle this unfinished business. Put you in a 539 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: position of where you can make moves and make this 540 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: label grow like it should have grow, and tie you 541 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: back into something that you created. And then at the 542 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: same time go back take care of all of the 543 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: old artists like rage R b X, Dash Corrupt, all 544 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: the people who didn't get their published and didn't get 545 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: things that was supposed to be given to them, making 546 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: sure that were lined it up now and making sure 547 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: those numbers are accurate as opposed to what they were. 548 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: HOWE is that just making like making things right right 549 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: like this, just getting it back to what it should 550 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: have been. It started about It started off about me. 551 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to get me right. I want to get 552 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: my masters because I'm like, I need to have Doggy 553 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: style funk that that's my record. And then it went 554 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: to stop being selfish? What about everybody else? So then 555 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: they went into let me get this first, then I'll 556 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: get that, but I'm not gonna worry about minds.

And then again my mission with Doggy Staff 561 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: was the thirty anniversaries next year, and also saw a 562 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: recent veteran running around. Somebody was taking a meeting with 563 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: you was ma, man, what's going on Mason's back? He 564 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: said he might be the first artist to be bad boy. 565 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: Then death Row mass my family. You know one thing 566 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: about Snoop Dog. I've always been the epicenter of peace 567 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: and love.

Me and 569 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: Puffy never had issues. Man Biggy never had issues. So 570 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: it was like I was always the fine line. And 571 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: we're in a new world, a new era now. We 572 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: gotta put it from spin on what death on bad 573 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: Boy was as opposed to what it is. Puffy kids 574 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: and my kids are best of friends. They came up together. 575 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: Like I didn't make it happen. I didn't force them to. 576 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: Ain't Kim put them together one day and when they 577 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: were seven eight years old and they became best of friends. 578 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: So it's like they don't see the bad Boy death 579 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: for all beef. They see bad Boy death fall love. 580 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: So why shouldn't we project that and continue that energy 581 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: moving forward? As opposed to keeping that negative ship there? Boom, 582 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Like based Like though he's not capting, 583 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: he's speaking some real ship. You gotta put it in 584 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: the air. You gotta speak in existence like manifestation is key, 585 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: Like he's speaking to something that's real, Like I'm here 586 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: to entertain it, you know what I'm saying.

On the Jimmie 589 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: Foxx Show, you had Westside Connection. What's so crazy about that? 590 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: When we had West Coast Connect, Iq, Dub and Mac 591 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: ten the writers at that time, they weren't quite getting 592 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: it right. So I would never go to my my 593 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: my office. I always slept on the set because I 594 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: would rewrite through. I would rewrite the show in the morning. Wow, 595 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: I said, Nah, I said, when they walked in, and 596 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta understand, Cubeque was a nice person, 597 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: but it don't always it don't always translate with his 598 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: facially express you know that what's okute?

So I just wanted to be able to 612 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: have That's in my legacy of working with all the rappers. 613 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: Read Man, methew Man.

I think they should let 683 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: us entertain, no matter what it is, no matter what 684 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: we're doing. This is the arts. And I also think 685 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: with us inside the arts, we shouldn't be policing ourselves. 686 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: I came out here to to hang out and smoke 687 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: weed and kick it and have a good time and 688 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: be you know, open with our art.
