43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Everybody knows baby Boy was supposed to be a role

00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I wrote this originally for my friend

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: because you guys was friends and he's not here. How

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: difficult was that to pick that actor? That Tyre's actor.

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I put it up on the show for years after

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: that because the last thing, the last conversation I had

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: with Pop was at the crushaw Mall. He was doing

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: this video to Live and Die in l A and

52
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: I was like, I got the movie that's gonna get

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: you on Oscar, you know, And that was it. That

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: was And then you know, a couple of weeks later,

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: he wasn't with us anymore, So I didn't. I wasn't

56
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: had a planning on doing the movie at all at all.

57
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: And it's just, uh, I know Tyres since he was

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, and I dished this movie Shaft. He

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: was supposed to Tyres was supposed to be in the movie,

60
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: but he was too busy being an MTV v J.

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: And then I said Okay, I got this movie. I'm

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna pull off the shop and you know, you know,

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: just like people have stuff and files and stuff, I

64
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: got movies and crates and stuff that I've written, and

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: I said, okay, maybe this is the time to do

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: this movie. But by the way, Shaft, like when people

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: do remix, it's very hard because and I can't believe

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: how you pulled off Shaft like that. Yeah, but it was.

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: It was good. It was good to be in New York.

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: It was a crazy time to be I wasn't. We

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: was in the high school. We was. We was hard.

72
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: It was all over the whole city. Um, it was.

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: It was you know, you remember it was that was

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: when I was making that movie. We were the only

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: movie that was shooting at the time. It was like

76
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: in the daytime and the night I was shooting in

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: the night and then sometimes the night I was up

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: in Cheetah and sent your flying like the first thing.

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: That was the first thing I said to you. What

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I like, I was like, oh my god. But I

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: was like I was a wild person then I was.

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm different now, more conservative, servative. When movies, it's movies

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: with like you have to go through something like you

84
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: know how sometimes comedians will come out with things every

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: five years because it's like they actually got to go

86
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: through experiences. But for me, it's for me, making films

87
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: is kind of an emotional experience. Um. You know, I

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: put my all into it. I put my heart and

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: soul um you know. Um, and it's just like it

90
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: takes something out of you, but it gives something back.

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: And every time I do a movie, it's an adventure.

92
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: So um you know. Um, lately I've been just like

93
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: concentrate on television instead of movies because people are watching

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: more TV than our films and there's a lot more

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: to do. Um you know, Like you can make it

96
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: make a movie every two or three years, but the

97
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: film a TV show, it's like doing a movie every week.

98
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: You get a chance to shoot, pull a new talent,

99
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: put people in and see how they work, and then

100
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe if they work on the TV show, then you

101
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: take them off to a movie. So that's my that's

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: my body. You feel the same way about writing and directing, Yeah, yeah,

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean I have to whatever I do, I have

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: to write. I have to write because I have to

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: put my on stink on it. That what made you

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: say to ice Cube. You said, because because I remember

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: you saying that you knew. Thank you. So you said

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: to ice Cube and just so you know, it's it's

109
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: a plastic on it, come on, you help him out.

110
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Come on your closest thing. Come on, okay, let me

111
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: sure it open dearly. I don't even want to do it.

112
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: But you said to ice Cube that his first rhymes

113
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: were like movie like so and then he went later

114
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: on and created Friday. Did you ever think you should

115
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: have been a part of Friday as well? Yeah? I did.

116
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Let his true story Cube. When we were doing Boys

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: in the Herd, he started like looking at how movies

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: are made, watching the set, so that he did a

119
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: video called Dead Homies. You've seen that video. It's really cinematic.

120
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: He started like, you know, slow wing shots and really

121
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: cinematic stuff. And you know, even when Cube had other

122
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: people direct the movie, the videos, he wouldn't be quasi directed.

123
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: So then he was like, okay, I want to write movies.

124
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: I said, well, okay, I've gotta get a laptop. He

125
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: meet him and his now wife when she was time

126
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: when going on laptop and he's a screenwriting stuff. So

127
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: he started he wrote, he wrote from that, the next

128
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: year and a half he wrote like three screenplays. He

129
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: wrote different titles and screenplays and everyone, and I was

130
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: like this one. And then he stopped showing me his screenplays.

131
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: So then he wrote because I kept shipping on him

132
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: a little bit because I was like, because it's my brother, right,

133
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: you could do better than this, right. And then but

134
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: he was also selling them too. You know, it didn't

135
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: matter if I thought there was happy. He sold some

136
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: stuff to Universal. He was selling like that I got produced.

137
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: He was just selling screenplays. And then so that he

138
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: did he we do we do higher learning together. And

139
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: then he's like I'm doing this other movie and said

140
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: and he's like I'm um, and it's like okay. But

141
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: but he started Friday out independently on Money Up on Friday,

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: and the new line was like we want to help you.

143
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: And I was like if people have told me that,

144
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I would like everything in it, because it was like,

145
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, when he finally got it done and showed

146
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: it to me, I was like, that's gonna it's gonna

147
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: be huge, and it was you know what I mean,

148
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: are we talking about Friday? Friday? Friday? Okay, so Friday,

149
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, he did that all on his own, man,

150
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, looking at now man, Yeah, yes, so so

151
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: now I'm glad you brought up higher learning, right because

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: higher learning. I feel like it was a socially conscious movie. Yeah,

153
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: we don't really have socially conscious movies anymore. No, we

154
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: don't matter. Are we missing that? We're missing a lot

155
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: of things we were missing. It's a little John. That's

156
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: how we're doing in drink chants, That's how we're doing.

157
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: So are we missing social conscious movies? I think we're

158
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: missing movies that about something. I think we need that

159
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: now more than ever because I'm kind of brought proud

160
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: of jay Z for the writer's alan Doctor Brout. That

161
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: was nice. That was that was it was beautiful. That

162
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: was beautiful for him to tell that story. And now

163
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: him he's doing a trade Von Martin story. I feel

164
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: like doing a movie and the doctor trade mar and

165
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: I think that's really smart. Um and and um something

166
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: that needs to be done. Yeah, because we need that,

167
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: like for our community. Because um, I just feel like

168
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: it's balanced. I feel like levels fell backwards. This level,

169
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: we've gotta balance it. And I feel like that's the

170
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: perfect way. It's just it's because there's so many of

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: us more in our community, a walk more than they read. Yeah,

172
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. I mean, I mean it's what I do.

173
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: I like to do films that are life, make people think,

174
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: but also entertained, so then they have to watch it

175
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: several times and be like, you know, did I really

176
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: see that in there? Hold on that another time? So

177
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: you know, even when I make a film that that

178
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: it's really really has heavy issues in it. It Uh,

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: it's entertaining. You know what I'm saying. You don't really notice,

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, now poetic This role ice Cube role was

181
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: originally to excuse me, Tupac's role was originally ice Cubes. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

182
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: and Cube said he wanted to do do was okay, And

183
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: now why why at the time we see Tupac and Juice.

184
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: We see Tupac everywhere else. But what makes you say

185
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make Tupac riding the mall band with Jackson

186
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: he killed? Because um, I mean, you know he was.

187
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I didn't even give it a second

188
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: thought because you know, I realized Pocket just and it

189
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: hadn't even come out yet. Oh yeah, but I heard

190
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: you say you saw the movie in advance. I saw

191
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: the movie were in advance. I said, okay, let's let's dude.

192
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't I wasn't thinking about him to

193
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: be in poor jestice. I was still thinking about cute

194
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, we gotta do something together. So

195
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: we chopped it up and just like you know, and

196
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: he just he just got back because he had got

197
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: into l A and I was like, we gotta do

198
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: something together. So when Cube said what he said, I said, okay.

199
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: I called up him and I said, you know you

200
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: want to do it? He said, yeah, yeah, I'll do it.

201
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, now, boys in the Hood, Boys and Hook

202
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: comes out first, right, the minister society comes out. Yes.

203
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I gotta ask a petty question, what's the time. What's

204
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: that time between them? Just two years? Did you ever

205
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: think like they could have it? I was not hug Brothers. Yeah, yeah,

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: we never heard your side of the story because I

207
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of felt like, oh ship, they just madetion with

208
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: that movie too. Well, No, they just made they made

209
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: an interesting film that was more violent than my movie.

210
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: My movie was my movie was? I say, it was

211
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: more kind of embedded in what um, what my personal

212
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: experience was in the studio that made Mini Society said

213
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: that we gotta have some pans too. There was you know,

214
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of movies, but in retrospect, when Society

215
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: is the best of all of those movies that came

216
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: after Boys, you know, because there's a lot of movies

217
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: that they tried to copy. It was like, you know, yea,

218
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: but but you know, in fact, my favorite character and

219
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: the Society's old dog, because he was he was like

220
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: most asociated, right, you know, to Pap was supposed to

221
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: play this character, this other character, that another dude that

222
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: was in Boys Fante Sweet play he was a more

223
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: conscious brother. Oh that's right. I was a teacher that right,

224
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: and then he had court Beef and the Hughes brothers

225
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: and to So so what is what? What? What? What?

226
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: What is? John Singleton? What are you sitting back and

227
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, happy that you didn't produce I

228
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: know you're doing a lot of TV what I was,

229
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: But what do you enjoy like when you yeah, I

230
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: mean like in terms of like just life and stuff, movies, TV.

231
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: I know you're doing too much TV to watch TV.

232
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm too much TV to watch TV. I don't even

233
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to really watch my TV because I'm

234
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: making TV right now. I mean, like, you know, I

235
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: like movies and stuff and everything, but the movies, the

236
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: movies now are not you know, I don't feel that

237
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: they're they don't push hard enough in terms of the

238
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: culture as much as possible, you know what I'm saying.

239
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like in terms of mainstream movies,

240
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, um, and that needs to be done, you

241
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because like because like like Boys

242
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: in the Hood was so much of an important message.

243
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: It's just like, yo, you know, you can live the

244
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: street life, but there's actually consequence. Exactly, there's actually and

245
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: that's what hip hop sometimes fails to tell. We only

246
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: always yeah, I don't know you're gonna do nine years,

247
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Not at the other end

248
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: of it, Yeah, exactly, No, I'm out about the reality

249
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I'm saying. What was that

250
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: like your goal? Because I know no, oh wow, My

251
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: goal was just basically a telling story. I was just like,

252
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, just like trying to get something off my chest,

253
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: that an experience that I lived, that that I lived through, um,

254
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: and that a lot of my family and friends had

255
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: had left through. So that was always about what if

256
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: ice Cube said no to play dough Boy would want

257
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: to go there? Think of nobody, where will we be

258
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: now he didn't play the part man, it was like,

259
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think he was robbed up Oscar nomination.

260
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I think he should because it's one of those timeless

261
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: performances that that just exists. You know what I'm saying.

262
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest with you when I look

263
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: at like, if I want to describe the West Coast,

264
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: how I first visualized the West Coast, I wouldn't start

265
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: at Poison. Yeah, I would start there and be like

266
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: you work around there. I actually go there first and

267
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: then call us. I cursed it when I was a

268
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: school with film East Coast, so I don't no, but

269
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't real. It was it was derivative. It wasn't

270
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: because it wasn't done by by by black people. It

271
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: was like it was like, you know, it was like

272
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: there was nothing about that that thing that was really true,

273
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: truly whatever. You know, like people were more caricatures and

274
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: caricatures they weren't real, you know. And then so you know,

275
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: so now I gotta get to the million dollar question.

276
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Listen why is it John Singleton directing this Tupac, Why

277
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I feel like you gotta get another shot. I feel

278
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: like you gott get another shot because we want the

279
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: real answer, and I'm gonna take one with you. I'm

280
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: not gonna busy myself on this. And then because you know,

281
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring up fashions and you know, and everything

282
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: and stuff, because because it's documented that you guys are friends,

283
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: it was like nobody can't dispute that. Well, just say

284
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: that the people that that got the rights to do

285
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: the movie, they had different ideas on how to do

286
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: the movie than I did. And that's part of it

287
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: at some point, right, Yeah, it was yeah in the beginning,

288
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: right exactly. Well no, not as it came in through

289
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: and everything. But you know, let them, let them make

290
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: that move and let's see how it does and let's

291
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: see what's because you're personally involved, So does that ever

292
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: like like mess up in your creative process? Like because

293
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm personally of all, that means I'm more focused and

294
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: born like you know, I'm more like get it, you

295
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440

296
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: as I'm saying better, you know, what I'm saying, I'm

00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: down on the ground. I'm ready to shoot, you know

298
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like that makes it more powerful that

299
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm more personally involved. And you know if Bennie Boom

307
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: what you want to say about the movie. But if

308
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: you had your choice, how would you have done it?

309
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,040

00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: did with the movie. So you know, it's like I

322
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: can't even speak on it because I don't know what

00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: how would you did the movie? If you'd have had

326
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: your choice, how would you did the movie? How would

330
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: to speak on this over and over there. I come from,

331
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: I come from, I come from you know. Um Tipac

332
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: was born nineteen seventy one. I was one n seventy eight.

333
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: We are revolutionary babies. It's a difference between being a

334
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: revolutionary baby and being someone who's just hip hop, you

335
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We were built, you know, for

336
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: the betterment of our people. We were built for to

337
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: bring everybody up, you know what I'm saying. And a

338
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff that happened, and and and in

339
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: terms of black black liberation was faltered because black people

340
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: were not in solidarity with each other, you know what

341
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you know that's what I'm saying. I

342
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: don't want to be. I don't want to be that

343
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: person that keeps on having dissension or whatever. That they've

344
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: made the movie. They stole the rights from his mother,

345
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: so they made the movie they want to make. And

346
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: hopefully one day I will get a chance to tell

347
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: that story. But otherwise I got all this other ship

348
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to do that is is in line

349
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: with what my principles are as a person and as

350
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: a black man, and that I'm going to do. So

351
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: that's that's all I want to speak. To make some

352
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: noise for that. Damn, let's make some noise for that.

353
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Someone still trying to make a part movie in the future. Yeah,

354
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: of course, I think you should do a commentary or

355
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: at least at least. No. No, this has to be.

356
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: It has to be a movie. It's it's too it's

357
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: too it's too it's too important not to just make

358
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: a movie. I mean, like, you know, there's so many

359
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: different things around life, who he was as a person,

360
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, and why people can be inspired by it, right,

361
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, now it's such it's such a great story. So,

362
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: um when I hear, like, you know, when people have

363
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: differences with it, I always listen because, um, I never

364
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: got to meet Tupac A. Yeah, I never got to

365
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: meet Tupac. Actually, uh he actually hung out in my

366
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: hood and I was in jail, So I actually never

367
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: got to meet Tupac. So I'm always this is actually

368
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: me as a fan. They just asking. But now you

369
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: also got to work with somebody who's also legendary and

370
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: who also I think is innocent. Um O J. Simpson,

371
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: you got to work with Old J. I don't have

372
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: to work with him. I met him before. I met

373
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: him before, but I did. I did a episode of

376
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: it was fun, it was like, you know, it was

377
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: good because, um, he changed l A after that, but

378
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: he changed he changed culture. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean,

379
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean what I mean is like we

380
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: just looked at l A like from the couture, like

381
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: at this coast point of view, we were just like

382
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: old because yeah, here that's weird. I mean, it was

383
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: just weird. It was just I mean because like we

384
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: never knew we thought only our cops was racist. We

385
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: never knew that outside of our ship, this as other

386
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: people that's racist. You know what I'm saying. Like we

387
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: didn't travel. But after Old J, it was like clear,

388
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: it was just like, holy mole, guacamole, this is what's

389
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: going down. But I never thought Old J did it.

390
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: And I met Old J as well. When we met him,

391
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: it was right, you know, I met him twice, you know,

392
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,919

00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: the best. But he said, my leg is killing me.

395
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: And I thought that was the funniest thing in the world.

396
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: And he said that I don't get he was limping,

397

Speaker 1: it is. I don't go around like real killers, right,

401
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: and like this. It's always a certain instinct about exactly,

402
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: and he didn't have it exactly. He did not have it.

403
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040

00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: as a culture, that's as as people, like as human

599
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,720

715
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,640

716
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: a lot from him as a storyteller in terms of

717
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: the way that he with Ben. Stuff been lines and

718
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: he would just you know, he was the he was

719
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: the storyteller the streets. If you think about all the

720
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: stuff that Joseph you listened to him, they were really

721
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: sad stories, some of them. Don exactly. He was like

722
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: Don going to the Pemper comedy, so people knew how

723
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: to do that. So I so when I take a

724
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: lot from him in terms of like when I when

725
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: I tell a story, I just toestuff that maybe a

726
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: little sad but funny, funny but sad, you know what

727
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because that's what life is. Life. It's not

728
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: just one thing, you know what I mean. We go

729
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: to movies and say, oh, that's just a comedy. That

730
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: movie is just a serious movie. When you watch one

731
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: of my movies, it's it's a reflection of life. So

732
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: I mean Richard, Richard is an ultimate storyteller. To me,

733
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: what we ever have uh dope error like that? Again,

734
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: like the nineties cinema, would that ever be turn a

735
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: different way? I think we had a different way. I

736
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: think we're having a different way. I think the as

737
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: own as has been more voices that are really uncut,

738
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: impure and just like you know, not afraid to maybe

739
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: necessary offend some people, you know what I mean, Like

740
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: you know that's what it's about. It's not you know,

741
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people push it as far as they

742
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: could push it in terms of uh of any anything.

743
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: You know. Now, it was Empire, like your first TV
