Speaker 1: he When he walked in the door, I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna clear that door, and
Speaker 1: he like touched it. That's how tall he is. So
Speaker 1: as a teenager, were you this tall?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was pretty tall, man. I was into the
Speaker 2: wrong things I was when I was young. And I'm
Speaker 2: gonna use this little spatula thing because you know, I
Speaker 2: don't want everybody but like I don't know his hands, man,
Speaker 2: I know what they being. You know what they being
Speaker 2: because I've been here for the bad two whiles. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use this here for the sake of all
Speaker 2: them German folks out there to be acting funny and
Speaker 2: shit a whole long. Nigga is a struggle meal, Nigga.
Speaker 2: If you struggle it, you ain't worried about my hands.
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep the shit going you know what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about. But yeah, when I was young, I went
Speaker 2: to Ya for a robbery. I did. I was a
Speaker 2: young misguided kid man. I just you know, I used
Speaker 2: to run with some guys who mischievous. I like to
Speaker 2: say we were juvenile delinkers. We were mischievous, juvenile de lincers.
Speaker 2: And I was doing some stuff that you know, put
Speaker 2: my life on the line a lot of times when
Speaker 2: I got cracked doing a robbery, and it took me
Speaker 2: a while to realize that I'm really no good as
Speaker 2: a thug. I'm very very very unlucky and successful thug.
Speaker 2: And you know, I just like doing thug shit. You know.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to be part of a part of
Speaker 2: some part of a group of people that's doing some shit.
Speaker 2: But you know, I should have been while I was
Speaker 2: out there robbing people. I fucked up while I was
Speaker 2: out there robbing people. I should have been somebody small
Speaker 2: forward on the basketball team. But you know I wasn't
Speaker 2: really into basketball like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was. But what city where are you from?
Speaker 2: I grew up in Inglewood Between. I grew up between Inglewood,
Speaker 2: No No. I was born in Arkansas. I was born
Speaker 2: in a little small town in Arkansas where my mother
Speaker 2: remarried and moved us out here when I was ten
Speaker 2: years old. So I've been here since I was ten.
Speaker 2: And I grew up in Inglewood, between Inglewood and South LA.
Speaker 2: I went to school in Inglewood and spent a lot
Speaker 2: of my time in South LA. And you know, I'm
Speaker 2: a La baby, you know. And when I should have
Speaker 2: been like playing small forward for the Inglewood Sentinels Inglewood Hot,
Speaker 2: I played left pistol for the Inglewood Carjackers, I was like,
Speaker 2: you're so big.
Speaker 1: I would assume that, like, out of all industries, definitely
Speaker 1: robbing or anything criminalist, criminalist like you would definitely be
Speaker 1: the one that would get caught.
Speaker 2: Man, they catch me all time, they catch me on time.
Speaker 2: Then they put me in the lineup with four Mexicans.
Speaker 2: You know they gonna give me. You know they're gonna
Speaker 2: give me.
Speaker 1: So then all right, so take me to the so
Speaker 1: so you're you just get out of juvie.
Speaker 2: Ven that's parole, baby, that's state, ain't that ain't the halls,
Speaker 2: that's past the juvenile halls. That's why a baby.
Speaker 1: So that's like a jail for minors, that's.
Speaker 2: Print prison for minors. You got parole, you gotta go
Speaker 2: in front the parole board.
Speaker 1: What and at the time, did you know you were
Speaker 1: gonna get into comedy or was is this like the
Speaker 1: beginning of you when you get out of jail? What
Speaker 1: happens when.
Speaker 2: I got out of jail. You know, I had a
Speaker 2: few jobs, you know, like most guys will get a
Speaker 2: few jobs here and there. But you know, I never
Speaker 2: was good on my jobs because you know, I've always
Speaker 2: been kind of like this free spirit. You know, I've
Speaker 2: always been a clown. I've always been a class clown.
Speaker 2: I've always been a jokester. You know, a lot of
Speaker 2: times I don't take everything too serious. So you know,
Speaker 2: I never could keep a job too long, you know.
Speaker 2: So I was hustling and doing different things to try
Speaker 2: to you know, to supplement my income. However, you know,
Speaker 2: like what, oh, you know, selling some stuff, getting people's
Speaker 2: stuff that they wanted.
Speaker 1: So then take me to the next chapter. What's that
Speaker 1: next milestone after you're working all these jobs in hustling.
Speaker 2: Like the next chapter? Man is I jumped on the mic.
Speaker 2: I jumped on the mic because my first aspiration, for
Speaker 2: my first aspiration for entertainment rather was hip hop and rap.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I was signing Too Short
Speaker 2: as a rapper. You know, back in ninety seven, he
Speaker 2: signed me and I traveled with him for a little while.
Speaker 1: So you were wrapping the whole time, you were working
Speaker 1: these odd jobs.
Speaker 2: A little bit. I was working my way up to that,
Speaker 2: I was writing. I wasn't really taking it seriously, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I started writing raps back in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six, and around nineteen ninety four, that's when
Speaker 2: I like started writing them. I really started writing, and
Speaker 2: it started getting into the studio, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Around ninety seven, I was already you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: How did you cross paths for Too Short?
Speaker 2: Oh man? One of my best friends, who was like
Speaker 2: a cousin to me, is actually Too Short's first cousin,
Speaker 2: So you know, it was like only a matter of
Speaker 2: time before that happened. And you know, my boy young E,
Speaker 2: you know him, was short, always been cousins. But he
Speaker 2: took me to Short at a time when he felt like, okay, gee,
Speaker 2: you ready now you know what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 2: he saw I was serious about what I was doing
Speaker 2: because a lot of times I can get into something
Speaker 2: me real into it, and I lose interest quick. But
Speaker 2: you know, I tend to hell. I tend to hold
Speaker 2: on to my hip hop aspirations, and I got better
Speaker 2: and better. And then one day he took me the
Speaker 2: short and shit Short was digging what I was doing,
Speaker 2: and he handed me over to my other partner, Kiki,
Speaker 2: who actually executive produced my my demo project. And then
Speaker 2: I got signed over the short.
Speaker 1: Wow. And then you get a nice check at the time.
Speaker 2: No, I mean at the time, at the time, it
Speaker 2: was it was nice at the time. You know, however,
Speaker 2: in hindsight, it wasn't too much. But hey, you know,
Speaker 2: coming for I was coming from the point I was
Speaker 2: coming from, it was like fucking right, yeah.
Speaker 1: And you're doing what you love. So what did you
Speaker 1: do with the money? And what happened with that check?
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't too much? Like literally, I think I
Speaker 2: put a down payment on the car for my baby.
Speaker 2: Mama bought me a couple of trinkets and some bullshit,
Speaker 2: and you know what I'm saying, it was broken Again.
Speaker 1: Were you able to put out the record?
Speaker 2: Nah? No, it didn't come out. It didn't come out
Speaker 2: through jive, But I actually just bootleg to myself and
Speaker 2: made the authorized butleg version of your own record. Yeah,
Speaker 2: authorized the bootleg of it. Fuck it, I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: it out there. A few people got it. It's in
Speaker 2: a few It's in a few trunks around the country.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I hit, you know, I
Speaker 2: hit to hit the streets with my homeboy problem, my
Speaker 2: young my young boy problem. I met him in Atlanta
Speaker 2: when I was down there was short probe, got me
Speaker 2: out on the street. We started hitting state to state, Philly, uh, Atlanta,
Speaker 2: New York. You know what I'm saying, Just going all
Speaker 2: these different places, jumping on corners, selling this tape, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So, then, at what point do you check out of
Speaker 1: the music business.
Speaker 2: Well, I never really checked out. I never really checked out.
Speaker 2: It kind of just didn't didn't materialize how I wanted it.
Speaker 2: Two in a time frame that we all imagine for ourselves.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You know, so the rap dreams, it didn't necessarily die,
Speaker 2: but the opportunity and the the the life was kind
Speaker 2: of slowing down from me because real life was taking place.
Speaker 2: You know, I had a son. Now, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, and my son can't eat these raps, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So that actually kind of put
Speaker 2: me in a rut for a while, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Because you know, I worked a few jobs,
Speaker 2: and my last job I had, I got fired and
Speaker 2: I remember going home, I was crying like a motherfucker.
Speaker 2: I'm on the bus, real tears, crying like damn, I
Speaker 2: can't get right, what the fuck is wrong with me?
Speaker 2: And I'm just I came to the conclusion that I
Speaker 2: can't work a conventional nine to five. I can't work
Speaker 2: for nobody, not like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And I had to figure out something else. So I
Speaker 2: started selling weed and it was working a little bit.
Speaker 2: You know, it was cool. It was paying some bills,
Speaker 2: you know, making sure I had some cheese from my
Speaker 2: blooney because I was still eating blooney, was making sure
Speaker 2: I had some cheese on it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Now, was your baby mom at the time starting to
Speaker 1: kind of stress you out about like finances or where
Speaker 1: is she just I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to blame that on her. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: say she stressed me out of our finances. We was
Speaker 2: in that thing together, and she's hard on her, so
Speaker 2: you know, of course she's going to verbalize her angst,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So again, I don't want
Speaker 2: to make her out to be a bad person or nothing.
Speaker 2: I mean, shit, she's you know, she pulling the load
Speaker 2: shit tough, you know what I'm saying. So that definitely
Speaker 2: added to, you know, a little bit of stress on
Speaker 2: my behalf. However, out never blame her because you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, When you the one doing everything or
Speaker 2: taking care of shit, you god damn right, you know
Speaker 2: you're gonna feel a certain type of way.
Speaker 1: So you know, so she was show your baby mom
Speaker 1: at the time was also like working, and she.
Speaker 2: Was working, she was taking care of it. She was
Speaker 2: doing it right. I got the classic little story. You know,
Speaker 2: niggas had these rap dreams and shit, and while your
Speaker 2: baby mama growing up and taking care of business and
Speaker 2: doing shit. We be little boys till we about thirty five,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So, yeah, it was. It
Speaker 2: was a typical thing for me. You know, she's always
Speaker 2: been straight lace, take care of businessman. Shout out to her.
Speaker 2: I love it to this day, man, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I love that person. So then take me to f
Speaker 1: after you lose the job. I want to get closer
Speaker 1: to when you start reaching for the mic and what
Speaker 1: epiphany was going on to get you there.
Speaker 2: Okay, to be honest with you, let me rewind. I
Speaker 2: was on the mic. And actually this last job I
Speaker 2: had was after the signing with too Short, traveling the
Speaker 2: country of touring, making records and stuff like that and
Speaker 2: stuff and not not quite paying out and wrap, and
Speaker 2: I was working a job and kind of seeing rap,
Speaker 2: the rap dream of the window getting smaller and working
Speaker 2: a job. And when I lost the job, that with
Speaker 2: the rap dream and the window getting smaller, to me,
Speaker 2: that kind of just you know, that kind of put
Speaker 2: me in a rut. And I was in the rut
Speaker 2: for a little while, you know, doing odd things, odds
Speaker 2: and thens different things, keep me some money going on.
Speaker 2: I was a CD man. I used to bake cakes.
Speaker 2: I said, I love baking. So I would bake cakes
Speaker 2: and cut the motherfuckers up to the slices and go
Speaker 2: up to the barbershop by my house and say, okay,
Speaker 2: some brothers was fucking with me. Man, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying yet again, because you know, after you know,
Speaker 2: in between you know, losing it after losing job and
Speaker 2: all that, and you know, just odd jobs here and there. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know again, I was selling weed to make me,
Speaker 2: you know, make supplement my income, you know, kind of
Speaker 2: keep keep the lights on or whatever. I got cracked
Speaker 2: with the weed. I was already on probation for some shit,
Speaker 2: and I was selling the weed, and I got cracked again.
Speaker 2: So and I got cracked right when I first started.
Speaker 2: By this time, we're gonna be fast forward. And by
Speaker 2: this time, uh, this is twenty ten, I'm selling weed,
Speaker 2: you know, doing all right, Opportunities are come into life
Speaker 2: for me, you know what I'm saying. I just got
Speaker 2: GTA five. I just got a you know, cash with
Speaker 2: GTA five, did did some work over there, you know,
Speaker 2: still selling weed on the side, you know, kind of
Speaker 2: keep my lights on. And shit. I got cracked by
Speaker 2: the La Shar's Department. They pulled me over, you know,
Speaker 2: found some weed in my car. And that was before
Speaker 2: it was legal. They found some weed in my car,
Speaker 2: and I was already on probation for some other dumb shit.
Speaker 2: So they used that as you know, they used that
Speaker 2: as they reason searched my house, and you know, they
Speaker 2: found some stuff at my house that I wasn't supposed
Speaker 2: to have, and you know, I had to go sit
Speaker 2: down in the county jail for about five months. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I was facing. I was facing
Speaker 2: by eight thirteen years or something. But thanks to the
Speaker 2: people over there, rock Star. You know, they wrote letters
Speaker 2: on my behalf, my boy Brian Ash, my boy Carl Jones,
Speaker 2: my boy Aaron McGruder, Jason van Veen, van Elder. I
Speaker 2: had a lot of great people around me that wrote letters,
Speaker 2: you know, on my behalf, and I think that kind
Speaker 2: of helped me in regards to how it was sentenced.
Speaker 2: Because when I got caught for that beef, I told
Speaker 2: y'all was on probation, but I had a joint suspension.
Speaker 2: You don't know what the joint suspension is. Basically meaning Okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna let you out, but if you get in
Speaker 2: trouble again, you're gonna go to jail for this time,
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna go to jail.
Speaker 1: Type thing.
Speaker 2: That It's not three strikes. It's basically said, okay, we're
Speaker 2: gonna give you four years in jail, but we're gonna
Speaker 2: suspend that. We're gonna let you out, but if you
Speaker 2: get caught for something else, you're gonna get that four
Speaker 2: years off top. And that's not counting with whatever time
Speaker 2: you're gonna get for what you get caught for. You
Speaker 2: understand me. Pressure, Yeah, the pressure was on. So I
Speaker 2: beat a joint suspension and you know, I got another
Speaker 2: chance and from there when I got out of jail
Speaker 2: that time. Wait, mane look at that blogna. That shit beautiful,

Speaker 2: of jail, I was back on a nothing joint suspension
Speaker 2: on probation, and I had to talk with God and

Speaker 2: jail that time, Aaron gave me the same kind of
Speaker 2: speech that you know Puffy has said to have given
Speaker 2: Big you know what I'm saying in the movie. At
Speaker 2: least you know, hey, what you want? You want this

Speaker 2: more crime. I'm not gonna do nothing. Jepardis my life
Speaker 2: because I have these opportunities ahead of me. So you know,
Speaker 2: I struggled for a few years before those opportunities came
Speaker 2: into fruition. But I'm thankful that I trusted God and

Speaker 2: see those things go come to fruition again. Twenty thirteen,
Speaker 2: GTA five came out, twenty fourteen Black Jesus came out,

Speaker 2: little vegetable on there, but you know lettuce is mostly water.
Speaker 2: They say, right, that's all good. Then you take that
Speaker 2: motherfucker you hit it whatever you see that.
Speaker 1: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Look this, why like the little melty cheese. I don't

Speaker 2: You take that little chip and go, yeah, man, get that.
Speaker 2: You don't let nothing go. Woman, woman, woman, woman. I
Speaker 2: don't even know you.
Speaker 1: Want them to.

Speaker 2: off in no mustard. So I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 2: do that them.
Speaker 1: I want to add more chips, go ahead and grow well,
Speaker 1: I want I'm trying to do yours the way.
Speaker 2: Jared, don't eat that shit?
Speaker 1: What the shout outs to Jered by the way, and
Speaker 1: we ain't.
Speaker 2: Talking about we ain't talking about the subway. Nigga need it.
Speaker 2: I came up on bloney sandwiches man. Again. Being born
Speaker 2: in the South, you know, I ate a lot of
Speaker 2: lunch meats and things of that nature. Man. And hell yeah,
Speaker 2: you know my mom used to service and blooney sandwiches
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, didn't handle cheese, got damn
Speaker 2: just blooney and bread, but it worked, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's very nostalgic for me. And this
Speaker 2: is always good because it's about fifteen twenty slices or
Speaker 2: more in this motherfuckers, you could probably make about six
Speaker 2: seven decent sandwiches, you know what I'm saying. So you know,
Speaker 2: you got to think about what you're doing. When you
Speaker 2: really struggling, you start looking at shit, like how many
Speaker 2: ounces shit is? You know what I'm saying. Like recently,
Speaker 2: I just bought some ketchup and I saw one was
Speaker 2: like thirty two ounces, and then the other one was
Speaker 2: like it was bigger, but it was it was cheaper
Speaker 2: to buy a bigger one. It was the bigger one
Speaker 2: was more expensive, but it was like, damn near buying
Speaker 2: two of those smaller ones for.
Speaker 1: You know, And I wanted to address that this whole
Speaker 1: dish costs six dollars, hold loaf of bread, holding of lettuce,
Speaker 1: whole thing, a baloney, and real cheese. It was like
Speaker 1: seven dollars and you're getting multiple meals. So this totally works.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's because we're both starving.
Speaker 1: But is this sandwich not? It's really good? Hunh and
Speaker 1: motherfucker smacking, Yeah, it is smacking. I'm trying not to see.
Speaker 1: I can't, you know, I can't interview you and eat
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But this thing is really really good.
Speaker 2: See, and I like, you know, it's seven dollars, eight dollars,
Speaker 2: just say ten, Just say ten. If you got a
Speaker 2: wet twenty you still got you can buy this, get
Speaker 2: you a little spend about nine, just say nine, spend
Speaker 2: about nine. You got eleven dollars back. You can go
Speaker 2: buy spend a bucket, go buy your blunt, and you
Speaker 2: can buy you a nice fat I'm sacked from somebody.
Speaker 1: You're hilarious, Okay, So take us back to so twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: two fourteen. You're getting all these opportunities, your pockets are
Speaker 1: looking better, and like where's your head at? Like? Are
Speaker 1: you like I made it? That's it? I'm stunting on
Speaker 1: everybody or what?
Speaker 2: Nah? I didn't really have that the real vindictive spirit
Speaker 2: to stunt on everybody. But I was definitely enjoying the
Speaker 2: things that were happening for me. I was definitely, you know,
Speaker 2: liking to be able to go in to stories. I've
Speaker 2: always went in to and be able to buy whatever
Speaker 2: I want, you know what I mean. So that was
Speaker 2: always cool. But you know, again, these things happened for
Speaker 2: me at this at a certain point in my life.
Speaker 2: I think I it came with a certain level of
Speaker 2: maturity as well, and enough foresight to know that you know,
Speaker 2: is like this to day, it can be different tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So I kind of always how to keep my attitude
Speaker 2: and the way I deal with people even killed in
Speaker 2: that regard.
Speaker 1: Were you good with your money as far as like managing, No,
Speaker 1: so were you.
Speaker 2: I have a friend I'm broke as buck right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I have a one friend
Speaker 1: that like he'll make a million dollars and he'll be
Speaker 1: rich driving rolls Royces in the next minute. Stupid broke
Speaker 1: and like literally eating carrots out of a bag.
Speaker 2: That's how I go. He had a good time though, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's literally been that way for like twenty years.
Speaker 2: I took my baby mama to the mal D's for
Speaker 2: a birthday in September. We got home, we ate chili dogs.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy. Are you still with your baby moms.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Well I got three of them, so I'm with one
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, we're not with the original og nah.
Speaker 2: But that's my family. I love it to death and
Speaker 2: I always will.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what's the next? So at this point you
Speaker 1: feel like you made it, like kind of explain a
Speaker 1: day in the life.
Speaker 2: A day in life while I'm working on an active
Speaker 2: series is different than the day in life just a
Speaker 2: regular day in life, because you know, again when I'm
Speaker 2: in the middle of season, it's always great. Get up
Speaker 2: early in the morning. Driveway. As matter of fact, we
Speaker 2: shot excuse me, we shot season three of Black Jesus
Speaker 2: right down the street here, okay, and get up in
Speaker 2: the morning, come on set, eat up they food, you know,
Speaker 2: enjoy all the white man amenities, and you know, have
Speaker 2: a great time. You know what I mean. My day
Speaker 2: in life is different from me. It could be a
Speaker 2: little bit of anything, like right now. You know, I
Speaker 2: get up every day. I shoot my sketches every day,
Speaker 2: take my calls, my emails, trying to line up new
Speaker 2: shows and things of that nature. But you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know, it just depends. Every day is different, just
Speaker 2: like anybody else, I have no Oh, I go to
Speaker 2: the gym every day at six am. I have two
Speaker 2: protein bottle shakes seven. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know when you're not when you're so, when
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of a series, you're have consistent money,
Speaker 1: consistent work coming in. When you're not, is there any
Speaker 1: like little seeds of doubt entering your mind? Or is
Speaker 1: there any like what am I doing? Is there any
Speaker 1: second guessing going on.
Speaker 2: All the time? I'm human? You want another one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. I feel like we should get more cheese,
Speaker 1: more bread. We got more bread, all right, go on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm human. So those seas are doubt always happen,
Speaker 2: and I'm I just have to damn, it's part of myself.
Speaker 2: I just have to snap out of it.
Speaker 1: M H what do you do to snap out of it?
Speaker 2: I just remember, I just tell myself, Man, how many
Speaker 2: times have you been in this situation? How many times
Speaker 2: has has has have you been broke? How many times
Speaker 2: have you had no car? How many times? You know?
Speaker 2: These things happen, and they happen all the time. Man.
Speaker 2: We built for this shit. I make it through. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I want to say a lot to day, you know,
Speaker 2: some weak people be rich as fuck. Stock market crash,
Speaker 2: they jump out the window, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So you know, hell, I just know it's gonna get better.
Speaker 2: It's always better days. It's just like this right now,
Speaker 2: and I just won't tell anybody that's listening. Look, man,
Speaker 2: you're an artist, creative entrepreneur. You got dreams. Keep dreaming
Speaker 2: and keep working tourism. Man, don't worry about what's going
Speaker 2: on right now, because right now is just right now.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about the wind. Just know you're gonna win,
Speaker 2: you feel me. Fuck all that bullshit. It's all right man.
Speaker 2: Today I'm eating maloney. Tomorrow it might be motherfucking lobsters,
Speaker 2: Matt goddamn it, I don't know. And the next day
Speaker 2: after that it might be popcorn. But guess what, I'm
Speaker 2: still smiling, I'm still standing on tear toes, and I'm
Speaker 2: still a real nigga out here. And what I have
Speaker 2: is my heart and my integrity and the love and
Speaker 2: blessing of God. So I ain't worried about nothing. I'm straight.
Speaker 1: I like that when you are. I like the bloney
Speaker 1: sandwich is so good, I'm trying not to eat it.
Speaker 1: During our whole episode, so I could actually talk about.
Speaker 2: You gonna see real nigga particles and ship because I'm
Speaker 2: eating maloney with cheese and let us don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: You want you want to, motherfucker list.
Speaker 1: Do you have people in your circle that are constantly
Speaker 1: like when you're in doubt, like picking you back up
Speaker 1: or reminding you what your purpose is?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Man, Absolutely man. Absolutely, my girl, she she's very
Speaker 2: supportive of me. I appreciate her for that. You know,
Speaker 2: I got a couple of homeboys that always call me
Speaker 2: with some words of wisdoms. Some game man shout out
Speaker 2: to my boy Andre truth man. Y'all make sure y'all
Speaker 2: check you out. We got a new we got a
Speaker 2: series together on Amazon right now called Selli's check it out.
Speaker 2: Selly see damn c E L l I E s
Speaker 2: Sellies on Amazon. You know what I'm saying, y'all gotta
Speaker 2: part me. I'm eating real food. See that's what y'all
Speaker 2: don't have on Hollywood, and motherfuckers like be dainty and
Speaker 2: barely eat. Be hungry as a motherfucker. We're gonna eat
Speaker 2: this shit real. Go ahead, girl, eat that shit. Ain't
Speaker 2: nobody fucked up about it, Cause if you don't eat,
Speaker 2: something wrong with you.
Speaker 1: I will say that. So in regards to the sandwich,
Speaker 1: I think the secret ingredient is definitely the mustard.
Speaker 2: Now, next time, try to spicy brown or spicy brown,
Speaker 2: try that spicy breat Now you're gonna love that. That's
Speaker 2: been nicey breatin. Now, that's been nicey bread. Now.
Speaker 1: Now in the world of social media, is that also
Speaker 1: like a frustrating turn for you? Or is it like
Speaker 1: a different beast? Like how do you view it?
Speaker 2: It's it's a different beast. What I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know what could be frustrating. The other thing frustrating about
Speaker 2: it is, you know, you don't want to see what
Speaker 2: everybody else got to say all the time. But you know, hey,
Speaker 2: it's just a different beast man. You know, it's the
Speaker 2: world we live in, and you know, we gotta learn
Speaker 2: to adapt. And I think for me, I came in
Speaker 2: at a time. You know, I was born in the
Speaker 2: era right before you know, right before this information age
Speaker 2: or whatever they like to call it, and I kind
Speaker 2: of came in it, so I wasn't necessarily raised in it,
Speaker 2: but I came early enough to understand it, so you know,
Speaker 2: it is what it is. Social media is one large
Speaker 2: facade and you just gotta know how to navigate it.
Speaker 1: Now, have you you've been in the game a long time.
Speaker 1: Have you seen some pairs of yours surpass you? And
Speaker 1: how did you feel about it? Like, how did you
Speaker 1: feel about it internally? Like if you have to be
Speaker 1: fully transparent, I.
Speaker 2: See a lot of people, a lot of my peers,
Speaker 2: you know, making advancements. I wouldn't necessarily say surpassed. That
Speaker 2: ain't the word I'm gonna use because if I'm in
Speaker 2: my own lane, you passing me as a no, you don't,
Speaker 2: I'm in my lane. So, but I've seen a lot
Speaker 2: of people make advancements that that are advancing, you know,
Speaker 2: and more power to them, you know, do I think
Speaker 2: they're the most talented people? Know, there are a lot
Speaker 2: of very talented people that are making advancements. To shout
Speaker 2: out to them, and there's some people that are not
Speaker 2: as advanced, that's not as talented, that are making advancements.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna shut out them too, cause whatever it
Speaker 2: take to get you there. I mean, if the people
Speaker 2: like it, hey man, they if you like it, I
Speaker 2: love it. You know, but I don't necessarily, you know,
Speaker 2: think everybody's the dopest but you And how do I
Speaker 2: feel about it? On trip? Because Aaron mcgrudy told me
Speaker 2: a long time ago, don't count another nigga pockets, don't
Speaker 2: worry about what another nigga got going on.
Speaker 1: So I agree with that. But even me personally, I
Speaker 1: saw in the last year some people that came out
Speaker 1: nine months ago, six months ago, and they just when
Speaker 1: I say, flew past the line, you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying personally, like I definitely had those like what the
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: I guess it is a bit frustrating to see, you know,
Speaker 2: some of these winner dudes, you know, in some positions
Speaker 2: in which you feel like, you know, again, I'm being
Speaker 2: honest with you. We humans, So sometimes I feel like
Speaker 2: some of you niggas is undeserving and some of the
Speaker 2: shit you get. But sometimes but who am I to
Speaker 2: say what you deserve? Only God knows what you deserve.
Speaker 2: So again, and even sometimes you know, you see these
Speaker 2: people making these advancements, you know, going up to the top.
Speaker 2: It might not really be the top they going it might,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Sometimes they see some extreme
Speaker 2: highs only to be led to some extreme lows, you know,
Speaker 2: and so you got to be mindful of that. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people dealing with a lot of
Speaker 2: ship behind the scenes. Some of these famous and powerful
Speaker 2: people deal with a lot of ship behind the scenes
Speaker 2: that you know, a lot of us don't and a
Speaker 2: lot of us aren't built.
Speaker 1: For so well. I will say that too, like sometimes
Speaker 1: when someone rises that fast, that fall could be even
Speaker 1: more painful.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, man, juvenile says the best that overnight money
Speaker 2: could be lose your life money. I mean, it's cool,
Speaker 2: you know that that ascension is is definitely a great
Speaker 2: thing to experience. However, I believe that, you know, you
Speaker 2: have to be prepared for that type of altitude. You
Speaker 2: can a seeing fast, but if you ain't got the
Speaker 2: right gear, the air thin up there, you ain't gonna
Speaker 2: be able to breathe. So you got at least, you know,
Speaker 2: make sure you got the right shit, you know, on
Speaker 2: your assension.
Speaker 1: If you had to choose between being famous and well known,
Speaker 1: because you're already well known, if you had to choose
Speaker 1: between being famous and well known and having or having
Speaker 1: healthy pockets.
Speaker 2: And give me the money any day, fuck this fame.
Speaker 2: This fameous some bullshit. Look here, the richest motherfucker don't
Speaker 2: have to say nothing. He's still the loudest motherfucking the room.
Speaker 2: Because money moves shit. So fuck this fame. It's nice.
Speaker 2: I enjoy the support that that that people. You know,
Speaker 2: they fuck with me, they fuck with my craft, they
Speaker 2: fuck with my brand. I really enjoy it. I support it.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I do that, and that's why I do it,
Speaker 2: because for the support for the fans, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, thank you, And you know all that stuff
Speaker 2: translate to money eventually down the line. But you know,
Speaker 2: to answer your question, the fame or the money, give
Speaker 2: me the money. I'd rather be the anonymous nigga in
Speaker 2: an executive class laying down on the plane to goddamn
Speaker 2: a Bali or something, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Now here's my other Devil's advocate question. Now, if you
Speaker 1: had to choose between the success of being known or
Speaker 1: the success of money, like having a lot of money
Speaker 1: or being broke doing what you love.
Speaker 2: I'd rather have the money. Really, I'd rather have the
Speaker 2: money because when you got the money, you're still gonna
Speaker 2: do what you love. You better. I got the money,
Speaker 2: now I'm really gonna do what I love. I got
Speaker 2: the money and the money without the fame, without the
Speaker 2: hassle of you know, people you know trying to get
Speaker 2: at you and get your attention all the time. Hey, man,
Speaker 2: I'll take the money because I'm still gonna do what
Speaker 2: I love. With money and anonymity, I could be a
Speaker 2: rich bum. I could be a fly on the wall
Speaker 2: at the best of both worlds. I can. I can
Speaker 2: fly first class, and I can I can sit in
Speaker 2: a pissy corner looking at everybody people watch and not
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And you twenty years ago, do you think your answer
Speaker 1: would still be the same.
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, really twenty years ago, I think the answer
Speaker 2: because you know again, I'm older, dude, Man, I think
Speaker 2: you damn right. For a long time it been about
Speaker 2: the money, you know. I love the craft. I love
Speaker 2: the art, and the fame is a byproduct. If I can,
Speaker 2: if I can do the art, get the money and
Speaker 2: don't have to have the fame, I'll do it, okay,
Speaker 2: But the fame is a byproduct of doing your art,
Speaker 2: doing your craft. You do it well, that's a by
Speaker 2: product of it. So I accept that. I accept the
Speaker 2: good with the bad, bad with the good.
Speaker 1: Were there any points in your career where if you
Speaker 1: could go back at time or personal life, you would
Speaker 1: redoce something all over again.
Speaker 2: Nope, nothing, because redoing one thing might change the outcome
Speaker 2: everything else.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying, even if it didn't, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: is there anything in your life where you were like,
Speaker 1: if I could go back, I would have done X
Speaker 1: Y Z a little differently?
Speaker 2: You know what I think about the worst shit? You know, like,
Speaker 2: you know, going to jail, And I still say no,
Speaker 2: because again, what I learned there, the connections I made
Speaker 2: in there are probably more valuable than anything that I
Speaker 2: you know, again, in jail, I made some I met
Speaker 2: some great friends, and I got some good game, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I think that that helped with
Speaker 2: my brand of comedy as well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So did I going through it? Nah? I didn't want
Speaker 2: to go through it, But looking back, I see how
Speaker 2: it strengthened me, and it ain't gonna help me. So
Speaker 2: isn't anything I'll change. I'm pretty sure nothing I could
Speaker 2: just call out right now without making somebody else feel bad.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, get me some bread man,
Speaker 2: you need some more bread because I'm finna eat this sandwich.
Speaker 1: So right now, would you say you're rich or would
Speaker 1: you say you're You're not doing boloney sandwiches obviously, but.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm financially impaired.
Speaker 1: I love how you're owning it though.
Speaker 2: I'm financially impaired.
Speaker 1: It's cool you're not afraid of it, You're embracing it.
Speaker 1: Why do you feel like not perpetrating because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that would say I'm gonna perpetrate. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna promote this image.
Speaker 2: Because it's too hard to keep up a lie. Niggas
Speaker 2: see me out here, Niggas see me in food for us,
Speaker 2: Niggas see my credit card decline. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Fake jewelry make my neck turned green. I don't like
Speaker 2: driving other niggs cars. Fuck all that perpetration shit, because
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I can only be me,
Speaker 2: and if I try to be a meat for you,
Speaker 2: it's gonna clash when the time when I need to
Speaker 2: be me for me. So you know it is what
Speaker 2: it is. One day, Look, I gotta look, I gotta
Speaker 2: pair eight hundred dollar Gucci shoes on right now, I
Speaker 2: got about forty dollars in my bank account. I ain't tripping,
Speaker 2: I ain't trying to look rich. I ain't trying to
Speaker 2: perpetrate is poor. It just seems what it is, man.
Speaker 1: But I think that the authenticity is needed because we're
Speaker 1: in the Instagram age where you know, everyone promotes the
Speaker 1: highlight reels. Right, So there's some guy that's like watching
Speaker 1: you and they're like wow, you know, and they're maybe
Speaker 1: trying to live up to an image. But if you're
Speaker 1: actually transparent, you're allowing them to kind of be more
Speaker 1: vulnerable and more real with themselves.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, my nigga, it's hard out here. It's hard
Speaker 2: out here for a penp and even harder for a whole.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, What's up with the fascination
Speaker 1: of pimping? Like, is there something in particular that fascinates
Speaker 1: you about it? Are you just good with the ladies?
Speaker 2: I was always fascinated.
Speaker 1: What about it fascinated you?
Speaker 2: What young man wouldn't want the attention and adoration of
Speaker 2: all the ladies. What young man wouldn't want to be
Speaker 2: good with the ladies? You know? And what young man,
Speaker 2: especially in this world right now, where you know, we're
Speaker 2: brought and raised to cater to women. And again I'm
Speaker 2: not saying right or wrong, but you know, who don't
Speaker 2: want a pretty beautiful woman coming, you know, putting it
Speaker 2: in your hand?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, putting what money?
Speaker 2: Money?
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. So pimping technically is like
Speaker 1: guys you know playing women, right, it's like a misogynist type.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm not a pimp, so I'm not
Speaker 2: really I'm not really at liberty to speak on what
Speaker 2: the pimping is. I do believe that I got the
Speaker 2: is of mimy, but I've never taken the taking the
Speaker 2: full steps it takes to become a pimp, So I
Speaker 2: don't really want to speak on what what you know
Speaker 2: in that regard.
Speaker 1: You know, So you're saying, like the only thing you
Speaker 1: like about pimping is like the the you know, like
Speaker 1: like you you're a good ladies, Like you're good with
Speaker 1: the women.
Speaker 2: That's the mystique of it all, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: being this fly, dashing guy that you know the ladies,
Speaker 2: not not the cariacature of a pimp that we see
Speaker 2: in comedies and things of that nature. And you know,
Speaker 2: I take pimping to a whole different level personally. I say,
Speaker 2: anytime you good at something and you know how to
Speaker 2: make it work for you, pimping it your author, your songwriter,
Speaker 2: You pimping your pen. You know what I'm saying. You're
Speaker 2: a mechanic, you're an artist. You do things with your hands.
Speaker 2: You pimping your hands. You know what I'm saying, pimping,
Speaker 2: whatever it is, pimping, be your own pimp. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Put it in your pocket. Put
Speaker 2: it in your pocket.
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about pimping, you're not talking about
Speaker 1: relations to money though not really, you're not.
Speaker 2: Really, I'm not talking I'm not always necessarily talking about
Speaker 2: women on the blade reporting to me and giving me money.
Speaker 2: And pimping ain't always, you know, having a woman sell
Speaker 2: her body for you. It's a lot of pimps or
Speaker 2: they may be called max. It's a lot of dudes
Speaker 2: out here getting money from women that work regular jobs
Speaker 2: or they work good jobs. You know, if she taking
Speaker 2: care of you, you know what I'm saying, she turned
Speaker 2: it into you. It don't matter where it's coming from,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Camping yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no no, no, I
Speaker 1: get it. I get it. So what advice would you
Speaker 1: give to a young gunna, a young comedian that's trying
Speaker 1: to get in the game.
Speaker 2: Don't stop, my nigga, don't stop, and don't doubt yourself.
Speaker 2: If you know you funny, be funny and let the
Speaker 2: motherfuckers come to you. You ain't got to get up
Speaker 2: there and dance with no rubber chicken. You ain't gotta
Speaker 2: do what the other niggas is doing. You ain't gotta
Speaker 2: go wear no tight ass pants or or or talking
Speaker 2: these these uh strange tones and act a certain way.
Speaker 2: If you funny, just be funny, man, and let them
Speaker 2: come to you. And they gonna come to you, man,
Speaker 2: they gonna come to you. Consistency is the key, my
Speaker 2: friend Carlos Miller told me, man, if you want to
Speaker 2: win in this business is by consistency. So if you're
Speaker 2: dropping the podcast, you dropping some content, and you tell
Speaker 2: the people that's coming on a certain day, you make
Speaker 2: sure you give it to them every time. And it's
Speaker 2: a numbers game, you know, just keep going. It might
Speaker 2: seem bleak. I don't put a hundred of these out,
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody well, it might be one O one that
Speaker 2: the motherfucker catch fire for you, So you just gotta
Speaker 2: keep going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been actually personally noticing that with myself. I
Speaker 1: will say though off camera we've we've been hanging out
Speaker 1: for a while now, before we started taping, I would say,
Speaker 1: you're more naturally funny. You're you're quick with it, and I,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I see comedians and it seems like
Speaker 1: they're working at it, but you, I could have a
Speaker 1: conversation and be like, you know, there's like five jabs
Speaker 1: of funny within like three sentences of hanging out with you.
Speaker 1: And I remember I noticed that earlier. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: you're really fast. You're like fast with your punches.
Speaker 2: I only smoked two blunts this morning, so I'm you know,
Speaker 2: and what's.
Speaker 1: Up with the cigarettes? Youre gonna give up the cigarettes? Man?
Speaker 2: You shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 1: Why I don't smoke cigarettes? Oh Okay. The awkwardness of that,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like your mom or your
Speaker 1: girls watching it, like, oh no, I've been lying to
Speaker 1: her about cigarette smoking. Crette, No, you don't smoke cigarettes. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll revisit that off anyways, tell the listeners where we
Speaker 1: could keep up with you.
