Speaker 1: Yep, World More Dangerous Morning Show to Breakfast Club, Charlamagne
Speaker 1: the God just hilarious, envious. Off the day, we got
Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, mister Shamik Moore's hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: how you doing, brother?
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. How you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm good? Are you? And just related?
Speaker 4: We could have been, I mean because he because he
Speaker 4: find and I'm fine.
Speaker 2: So you are the blood are you from?
Speaker 3: Where are you from?
Speaker 1: Smik?
Speaker 2: I'm from. My family's from Jamaica.
Speaker 1: I was raised in Atlanta, Okay, okay, okay, so no
Speaker 1: connections to Maryland.
Speaker 4: Okay, but but I might have family and where you
Speaker 4: say your family's from Jamaica.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you know what my family is too.
Speaker 3: They might be why why I don't know why tell
Speaker 3: that lie? For no reason? I mean just for no reason?
Speaker 2: Because it failed to.
Speaker 5: Be back on Spider Man like to be doing it again.
Speaker 6: Uh you know, now I'm twenty eight, I feel like
Speaker 6: it's a I'm understanding the phrase with great power comes
Speaker 6: great responsibility.
Speaker 3: I'm that's that came from Uncle Ben.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they came from Uncle Been. But you know, Miles
Speaker 6: is wearing the mask right now, so it's it's hitting
Speaker 6: me in a different way in my reality. I'm very thankful.
Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just happy to be useful in that way.
Speaker 6: For uh, I have nephews that can't watch anything I'm
Speaker 6: in except Spider Verse, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 6: that's it expands my reach.
Speaker 2: And yeah, just I'm taking the opportunity very seriously.
Speaker 3: I love the Spider Verse movies.
Speaker 1: I often wonder though, like you know, with with with
Speaker 1: Miles Morales come into the actual m see you do
Speaker 1: you feel like, yo, I should.
Speaker 3: Have that role. I mean you're not. You're not entitled
Speaker 3: to anything.
Speaker 2: I'm not way anything. I'm gonna stay humble, but absolutely
Speaker 2: I'm putting in my work in my work.
Speaker 3: So have you auditioned?
Speaker 2: I don't think they're in a space to audition.
Speaker 6: I think right now, Sony Marvel, whoever's in control, you know,
Speaker 6: they have they have a franchise, is making money. They
Speaker 6: have Miles Morale is the story, they have Tom Holland's story.
Speaker 6: You know, It's like it's like, if both things are working,
Speaker 6: why stop the revenue?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 6: So, but when it's time to make that crossover, hopefully
Speaker 6: I'm in a place where where the people watching the
Speaker 6: film support the idea.
Speaker 4: Let me plain that, do you like doing animated films
Speaker 4: more than live extra films?
Speaker 6: I think the conjunction is a nice space, you know.
Speaker 6: I think if I was just doing animation, I wouldn't
Speaker 6: be fulfilled, not even a little bit. But a movie
Speaker 6: like this is definitely fulfilling because of how I mean,
Speaker 6: it's kind of.
Speaker 2: Scary, even the idea.
Speaker 6: Of like where AI is right now and where it's going,
Speaker 6: and then how good animations are becoming. Like this movie specifically,
Speaker 6: there's some moments Daniel Caluia has a spider person in
Speaker 6: this movie called Spider Punk, and when that character is
Speaker 6: the screen, it's like it almost looks real, like it's freaky.
Speaker 2: It's freaky. So yeah, what.
Speaker 1: Leaves you not feeling fulfilled about animation is the fact
Speaker 1: that people.
Speaker 3: Don't know it, might not know it's you.
Speaker 6: I think I think that might have something to do
Speaker 6: with it. I think I like to see I am fulfilled.
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, my I mean, I don't think
Speaker 6: I've been compensated as well as I have for Spider Verse.
Speaker 6: I don't think again it has the reach. You know,
Speaker 6: I'm more that's my biggest role right now. You know,
Speaker 6: so I am fulfilled. Like, let's be clear, I'm thankful.
Speaker 6: I'm humbled by the opportunity, especially now more than you
Speaker 6: know our second interviews, Like now it definitely means something
Speaker 6: more to me, and I'm understanding what the opportunity is.
Speaker 6: But I enjoy the experience looking at myself on the
Speaker 6: get down, you know, or on.
Speaker 2: Dope or wu tang. I like that, you know. I
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: So if you just do animations, it does kind of
Speaker 4: like limit your range because you're not being seen. But
Speaker 4: then also yeah, yeah, you're not being seen, you're just
Speaker 4: being heard, but you and there's so many things that
Speaker 4: you can do like wow, crazy characters and.
Speaker 5: You can kind of you can go over the top
Speaker 5: of animations.
Speaker 4: But we don't get to see your range visually when
Speaker 4: it comes to that. So I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying about that. Working with Daniel
Speaker 4: Kluia and Sato, Yeah yeah, how's that?
Speaker 2: Ooh?
Speaker 6: I love doing press with them, you know why I
Speaker 6: throw in the shades. I get busy with my fits
Speaker 6: ye like, and there's no there's no I just like
Speaker 6: that energy that get to come out when I'm next
Speaker 6: to like when I'm next to them, but I love
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, It's not I'm not really a
Speaker 6: I'm a I'm all about humanity and its entirety.
Speaker 2: So I'm not.
Speaker 6: I'm not somebody that's like, you know, us over them
Speaker 6: or I really think I think it's it's a together thing.
Speaker 6: So when I but I'm acknowledging when I'm next to
Speaker 6: you know, another guy, you know what I mean, and
Speaker 6: I can appreciate their greatness, you know, and their beauty
Speaker 6: just shines through and I'm next to them, and it's
Speaker 6: not no like you versus me energy.
Speaker 2: It's just like, dang, we got a Spider.
Speaker 6: Man movie coming out, Like yeah, it's projected at this
Speaker 6: much like they're talking about one hundred and ten million
Speaker 6: possibly in the.
Speaker 2: First two days. Like that's to me them numbers. I'm
Speaker 2: when I'm twelve, I couldn't even imagine, like you know.
Speaker 6: So I wish that you're getting though. That's the conversation, bro.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying because I heard you say
Speaker 6: that earlier. You don't feel like you're being compensated. No,
Speaker 6: I am being compensated like you should be. Probably now
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I don't think I get five percent of that type
Speaker 2: of money.
Speaker 3: You know what you say, you want some back in
Speaker 3: what you say.
Speaker 2: You know, one step by one step by the time.
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, But Patrick, I made these
Speaker 6: deals when I was twenty one. I'm twenty eight. I'm
Speaker 6: being well taken care of. But you know, it's about
Speaker 6: infrastructure and building something and being an example at this point.
Speaker 6: And I'm very like I said, I'm just excited to
Speaker 6: be in this position more than anything.
Speaker 1: Do you get excited when you see those big numbers?
Speaker 1: Because the first movie did what four.
Speaker 2: Hundred three hundreds? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And when you see that, you like you look
Speaker 1: at your check and be like, well, what's up man.
Speaker 5: Because you're excited for the movie, but you'd be like.
Speaker 2: A million exactly.
Speaker 6: So I think I'm inspired because like I get to
Speaker 6: work with Chris, Phil Kemp, Bob and all the you know,
Speaker 6: I get to I get to have conversations and dinners
Speaker 6: and and I'm a part of the process. I'm learning,
Speaker 6: you know, even working with Baz learning on the get down.
Speaker 6: It was the same thing, same thing with Dope, working
Speaker 6: with phar Real and et cetera. Like them, I get
Speaker 6: to learn, you know, and I'm making money, more money
Speaker 6: than my family was bathing with buckets in Jamaica. You
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. I grew up in La Thronia, Georgia.
Speaker 6: I used to have two pairs of sneakers like this. That's,
Speaker 6: you know, the kind of money like we can get.
Speaker 6: We can we can really have a financial converse because
Speaker 6: I am That's where I'm at in my mind. But
Speaker 6: as far as me feeling like I'm not being taken
Speaker 6: care of, I couldn't. I could never say that because
Speaker 6: you know, my life is good. I can't hold you.
Speaker 6: But when when I'm able to see like Okay, SONY
Speaker 6: made X, Y and Z, my mind can be like
Speaker 6: I know how to I know the formula, you know,
Speaker 6: So when it's so as I'm developing my production company
Speaker 6: and my own films and et cetera, I can kind
Speaker 6: of it. I understand the equation better. And I can
Speaker 6: only do that by paying attention and staying in my
Speaker 6: lane and being thankful for the opportunities. You know, I
Speaker 6: would never go to nobody like no, I need this,
Speaker 6: this this right now. You know, I am the actor,
Speaker 6: and not only that, my brand is expanding.
Speaker 2: I am good where I'm at.
Speaker 3: I wonder if the respect is there.
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, I'm sure it is from Sony,
Speaker 1: but what do they feel like I can get anybody
Speaker 1: to do the voice of like I'm talking about in
Speaker 1: voice acting period of the respect there?
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I carry myself in a way that
Speaker 6: creative person is gonna like. I'm a creative you know.
Speaker 6: So you know the people in charge, they they're not
Speaker 6: They're nothing but loving. And you know I wouldn't have
Speaker 6: the role if they didn't connect to or respect me.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're you know what I mean, people auditioned
Speaker 6: for to play Miles Morales. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: that are more successful than me at the time or
Speaker 6: now you know what I'm saying, or parents are more
Speaker 6: or born into.
Speaker 2: It or whatever. Like it feels like I was bitten
Speaker 2: by that spider in real life.
Speaker 4: You know, did you see doctor youmar On? I g
Speaker 4: telling everybody not to go see the movie because Black
Speaker 4: Spider Man is interested in the snow Bunny.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah read it, Yeah, go ahead, I got it.
Speaker 1: I got it right here. If you need me to
Speaker 1: read it to you, hold on. I have they never
Speaker 1: have no problem reading good old doctor Umar, this is
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 2: A real thing. What you think we make them? Totally
Speaker 2: thought you was making this up.
Speaker 5: I actually loved that though.
Speaker 2: I thought we was past this, that we just passed
Speaker 2: this entirely.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, jungle fever.
Speaker 1: I just saw this Black Spider Man cartoon trailer and
Speaker 1: it appeared that Spidey is crushing up on his snow
Speaker 1: bunny sidekick. Please don't tell me our children are going
Speaker 1: to go through the movies just to see a black
Speaker 1: superhero bunny hopping on the big screen. Can someone confirm
Speaker 1: if these two are romantically involved?
Speaker 2: You know what I can confirm.
Speaker 6: I can confirm that this story is about why we
Speaker 6: wear that mask, you know, and it's bigger than just
Speaker 6: the Spider.
Speaker 2: You can look at it as a.
Speaker 6: You can look at it as like Spider Man, but
Speaker 6: I relate everything to my reality. You know, that mask
Speaker 6: for me could be basketball, it could be acting, it
Speaker 6: could be you know, having your own radio show or
Speaker 6: whatever it is. So these characters are looking past.
Speaker 2: That mask, you know.
Speaker 6: Gwen and Miles are representing something that's bigger. They're representing humanity.
Speaker 6: Their specific story is about spiders and their superhero lives
Speaker 6: and whatever. But in this film we get to see
Speaker 6: like it's bigger than that, you know, and it's hard
Speaker 6: to really like, I know, because I've walked the black
Speaker 6: experience where doctor Umar is coming from and the key
Speaker 6: key about it amongst us or whatever. But like you know, brother,
Speaker 6: I mean, look out, this is unity, you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying that the world that we live in, the
Speaker 6: world that we walk in, especially in New York, it's
Speaker 6: not just black, it's not just white, it's not just agent.
Speaker 6: It's a mixing pot. And that's why this movie is special.
Speaker 6: That's why the kids are gonna go watch it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: because because it's about it's about writing your own story.
Speaker 6: It's not about somebody telling you, you know, how your
Speaker 6: story is supposed to go and what's acceptable, like live
Speaker 6: your life like that mindja business. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: what you look like telling people not to go watch
Speaker 6: a movie about about loving yourself and loving those that
Speaker 6: love you, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And having a future.
Speaker 3: And and.
Speaker 2: Then it's Spider Man like, look at where we at right.
Speaker 6: Now, let's talk the listen, we can't talk about inclusion
Speaker 6: and diversity and progress and then get mad when we
Speaker 6: get it. You know what I'm saying, like, Yo, let's
Speaker 6: talk about if we want, you know, some beautiful black
Speaker 6: love story animations and et cetera. Cool that this movie
Speaker 6: allows that to happen. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 6: I could go make something else, Doctor Umar can write something.
Speaker 6: You know what do you that would be? You know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, like, let's talk about original IP. That's
Speaker 6: where diversity is going. That's where inclusivity is going.
Speaker 2: You know. Right now I'm playing Spider Man, like, how
Speaker 2: dare you?
Speaker 4: And that's really really big and I love it. Before
Speaker 4: you get out of here, when are we getting the
Speaker 4: fashion line? Because yeah, you with this style, that's what
Speaker 4: you really really love fashion.
Speaker 5: You love what you say left fashion.
Speaker 4: You have your own style and it's very dope and
Speaker 4: very you. And it could it could result in the line.
Speaker 4: It could translate in the line what you're thinking.
Speaker 6: Uh, that was the that's a part of the goal,
Speaker 6: a part of my life next five years and whatnot.
Speaker 6: But I don't really want anybody to know it's my line.
Speaker 6: I think it could get in the way of it.
Speaker 5: But I got you.
Speaker 6: I think as people are wearing it. Eventually I revealed
Speaker 6: some of the things that are my businesses that are
Speaker 6: prospect you know, prospering.
Speaker 3: Oh you gotta line out now we work.
Speaker 5: I could just see it anyway. I didn't even know
Speaker 5: that he did, but I could just see it because
Speaker 5: his style is always different and just unique, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. So I can see that for you.
Speaker 3: How hard is it for the show up nowadays? Without
Speaker 3: the mask on?
Speaker 6: Without the mask on, I feel like one of my
Speaker 6: superpowers is vulnerability.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that I have on a
Speaker 2: mask right now.
Speaker 6: Answered every question you just asked me with complete heart
Speaker 6: and transparency.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think relatability is the real Uh it's the
Speaker 6: real task for me though, you know. That's where that
Speaker 6: Matt like how I communicate certain thoughts or how I
Speaker 6: communicate communicate with my energy and whatnot.
Speaker 1: I think the rest to though, because you got you
Speaker 1: have to accept that you're different, like we all have
Speaker 1: to accept where different.
Speaker 3: So how what is relatability really? You know?
Speaker 6: To me, it's like it's how I say things like
Speaker 6: I could be very our last interview is a great example,
Speaker 6: very confident.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm raised that way.
Speaker 3: You know, they hate it. I remember that they hate you.
Speaker 3: They thought you was too cocky.
Speaker 2: But they loved it.
Speaker 6: They you look back, everything they hated then they loved
Speaker 6: afterwards when they saw the work. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: So I leave it at that. But that's my point.
Speaker 6: I could have spoke differently. I can feel how I
Speaker 6: feel about myself. But it's growth, it's growth evolution.
Speaker 3: You know how you feel about the Wu Tang saga being.
Speaker 2: Over, thankful, ready for the next step?
Speaker 3: Right, how was the film in the last season. I
Speaker 3: feel like y'all put a button on it the right way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like I'm you know, me and Og we connected,
Speaker 6: We locked in. You know, we got other stuff, you
Speaker 6: know on the table. He's yeah, that's my that's like
Speaker 6: literally my mental or like uncle whatever. Like he you know,
Speaker 6: he's coming to the Spider Man premiere, leaving Australia just
Speaker 6: to fly to the premiere, make sure he there and
Speaker 6: whatnot for me.
Speaker 2: So like that's that's the kind of that's yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like that name has been introduced to a whole
Speaker 1: new generation now because you got you with the Wu
Speaker 1: Tang Saga.
Speaker 3: Rihanna and a just named their kid.
Speaker 4: Would you rather do a sequel to Dope or another
Speaker 4: season to get Down?
Speaker 3: What would you rather do?
Speaker 6: I would probably I think at where I'm at right now,
Speaker 6: I would do Dope because the get Down is like more.
Speaker 6: I think I can go more into like a nerdy
Speaker 6: roll and show some more range. Right now, I think, yeah,
Speaker 6: I could do that on camera. Do something more lighthearted?
Speaker 3: Is that something you want to do? You want to
Speaker 3: do like a with a drama or something.
Speaker 6: Oh I need a romance film. I need a horror film.
Speaker 6: I need a detective film. I need a superhero live
Speaker 6: action film. Uh yeah, those are my four right now. No,
Speaker 6: I definitely see I just did a comedy, so that's
Speaker 6: you know, on this way.
Speaker 5: Because I want to see another Dope.
Speaker 2: Oh you want to see another?
Speaker 3: Want to?
Speaker 4: But I was coming, I was building up, damn. But yes,
Speaker 4: I would love to see and be in Dope.
Speaker 3: Word. Did you try off with Dope to the first one?
Speaker 3: For the first one?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: I don't yo, yo, you know what, because.
Speaker 4: Like we will have actors up here, and I think
Speaker 4: I'm doing too much by saying that I'm always auditioning
Speaker 4: because I ain't really getting nothing.
Speaker 5: And that's you know, you have.
Speaker 3: No one that's been up here.
Speaker 4: I ain't got none of the ones that I think
Speaker 4: I should stop saying that your audition for that, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I grew up like that. I might do one hundred
Speaker 2: auditions that year and get to.
Speaker 4: Get you know what I'm saying, And sometimes for me
Speaker 4: it gets It can be discouraging, you know a lot
Speaker 4: or whatever, but I just you know, I just keep on.
Speaker 5: But it's good.
Speaker 4: That's why I love to sit down with you know,
Speaker 4: the use and you know, just to see how y'all
Speaker 4: handle things like that. Like but I just heard you
Speaker 4: say you do one hundred and you get to you know.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: I one thing I have, I have a issue or
Speaker 6: something I'm overcoming, is just rejection in general. You know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, giving myself up, doing my best and
Speaker 6: it's up to someone else to determine whether or not
Speaker 6: I'm good enough.
Speaker 2: That's why I've.
Speaker 6: It's like, when I get the opportunity, my soul goes
Speaker 6: into you know what I'm saying, so that I do
Speaker 6: get other people in the positions of you know, I
Speaker 6: guess power and acting or or you know, producing films
Speaker 6: or etcetera to want me, you know.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that would be my my only thing.
Speaker 6: When you you know, get a role that you're happy with,
Speaker 6: just really like like really really go there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's just people calling your phone.
Speaker 1: That doesn't determine whether you're good or not, though I
Speaker 1: know that. I mean, yeah, yeah, just wasn't the person
Speaker 1: that for that moment. That's right, that's right on.
Speaker 4: Both of which y'all said with you for real, But yeah,
Speaker 4: you have to really give your all in these rules.
Speaker 5: That's that's that's.
Speaker 3: A real make that for you, Meek.
Speaker 1: I ain't mean that for you when I said that
Speaker 1: university University.
Speaker 3: Should more appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Man, Spider Man across the Spider Verse, what is it
Speaker 1: the Theatis June second?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: June second. It's to meet more as the Breakfast Club
