<v Speaker 1>like did it take long for Mario to convince you

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to do New Jack City?

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:45.199

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a chance to do it?

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So I've been in the Breaking movies and the Break movies.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I was called featured rap talker. How about that?

0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>They didn't even know what a rapper was? Right? So

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 3>you heard a story about New Jack City?

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I know about George Jackson's coining the term.

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 4>But please, please, please, I don't know the story.

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a toilet, star in a club and some

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 2>niggas is talking shit to me in the toilet, I'm

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.440

<v Speaker 3>You be telling this that?

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 2>And I say, yo, player, the problem is that they

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>could take a microscope and find one molecule in my

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>body that gave a fuck, then they'd have a chance.

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>But there's not one.

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 3>And so Mario overhears that and says, whoever said that

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>are my movie? Whoever said that? And it was me.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:51.120

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>read that shit quest. I was like, yo, this is

<v Speaker 3>you can.

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I keep reading this.

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 3>Niggas the Police? Yeah, I got an album coming out

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 3>called Original Gangster. You want to play the Police?

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute? Hold who he got dreads? I got

<v Speaker 1>a perm like.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just totally like, noah, nah, I can't do this.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>But then I talked to people and they were like, man,

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>if you fuck up this. Back at the Beauty Parliament,

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I got most of my game. I had this hairdresser

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 2>named Pearl and she said, you niggas running around here

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about no opportunities, no opportunities, and here's one, and

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna turn this down. If you turn this down.

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>You a real live sucker, because this is a great opportunity.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Niggas know you ain't the police, nigga. You had to

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>go up in there and do that gig and then

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk to my boys. They're like, I say, man,

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>they want me to play the police. The niggas be like, word,

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>can I.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Be in the movie?

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>That's all they That's all they care.

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>So I did the movie, and I was scared shitless

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>that it was going to end my career because at

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>that time, no rapper had taken a dramatic role.

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Yet hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>On, No, he's right, he is right, Will Smith the

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 3>only thing run DMC did tougher than leather and all

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 3>that old ship acting like somebody else does not.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Nobody was the first.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I told you, I'm on my first ship.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Usually the first one who's the pioneer never gets the

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>just desserts that the person that comes behind them does.

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>So that is risky that you want to be first.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But I always see history as the second person that

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>masters it.

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 3>But I did it, Pop did it.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Everybody started doing it back in the day when when

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>being a rapper like you want to act like you

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 2>was betraying the culture like you.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't. It just wasn't.

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>At that time, Rappers wasn't even owning their own label.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>It was like Rappers was very in his own zone.

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So they got me. They got Chris Rock, who is

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the newest underground you know. Cat Wesley had only done

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>two movies, Major League and a Spike Leaflip, so they.

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Didn't trip off this. They didn't have enough black actors

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>to make the movie.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just wow, now we could.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Do Black Panther.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.359
<v Speaker 2>There were not enough young black actors that had any

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 2>potential to pull a crowd.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>So they said iced tea selling millions of records.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Right, you know, and Alan Payne and Vanessa Williams couldn't

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 5>have done it alone, right Wesley or Wesley Wesley.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So they used the power of the rapping Me and

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Chris being hot on the street, George Jackson and Doug mckenry.

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>They put us in the row and the shit popped off.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 2>I was scared as fuck. The movie made eighty seven

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>million dollars. I got paid twenty five thousand dollars.

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>So by the time you get to Trespass and surviving

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the game.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 6>And Surviving again. Yeah, that's my favorite iced team movie.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 6>That's Thriving.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Game is the one.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Tip up this the second movie with Ricochet with Denzel Can.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I ask how how is Hollywood? Because the thing is

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>now it's nothing for rapper like for people to pivot

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>into other areas and other mediums. But how's the reception

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to you coming into their territory Hollywood? Simple?

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>If the movie you're in makes money, you're gonna be

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.119
<v Speaker 2>in another movie. That's just Hollywood. It's like his money.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>It's pimpot. If this whole can make me some money here,

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe you can make me some money there.

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't.

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 3>They don't care. You know.

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh, they can't really tell what great acting is. They

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>can tell what the fan response is, so they that

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 2>works cool. So you know, New Jack City was a

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>hit and comes some scripts. Let's see if he could

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>it again. So I walked into Joel Silver's office, one

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.559
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest producers, and I said, okay, New Jack City.

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>They fucked me, right, but I know I'm about to

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>get paid. I'm with Denzel about to get paid. That

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the fucker looked at me as.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 3>An iced tea. You've done one movie. So I bent

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 3>over and took it again. I got for for Ricochet,

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I got twice what I got for New Jack City,

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't work as much.

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, got my payday didn't come till I did Tank

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Girl where I played the route lord.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 5>Where was that in the Surviving the game trestpad. I'm

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 5>trying to remember tank where it was?

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 3>And then it was Tank Girls Surviving the Game. Then

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 3>I Johnny Knuemonic with Keanu Reeves, and then I did

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 3>I was doing Johnny Mnumonic with Keanu Reeves and they

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 3>called me.

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>They say, well, you play a stripper in Arizona. I'm like, hell, yeah,

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 2>this is my chance to know what it looked like.

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I was on slow.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>You've seen the original gangster poster, so I was on

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.760

<v Speaker 2>you know, because they like when you sell out.

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I see, selling out is when something that's.

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Totally against your beliefs, you are right, when they can

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 3>make you be quiet.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I have nothing against fucking kangaroos. I have nothing at

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>all against them. So I was like, fuck this, I'll

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 2>be a motherfucker kangaroo and I.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Got a bag for that.

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 3>That's the first mil plus role.

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that. You know, America is now just adapted

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to festival lifestyle, but you know, you're a pioneer and

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you were one of the very first

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>acts on Lollapalooza, which is really America's first true at festival.

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, besides you know, farm Aid or

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever, but what was that the experience of Lollapaloza, Like,

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>especially that first year where all this stuff was brand

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>new to American culture.

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>There's always a story behind ice T shit, But I

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>like people to know so they can get a true

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>understanding how this game is, because it's not as simple

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.839
<v Speaker 2>as that. Ernie body Count was now just starting. We

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 2>were playing like pizza joints and just getting getting a

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>vibe for what this band was.

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 3>And Ernie had met Perry Farrell.

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, Harry Carroll was doing a video called The Gift

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>where he wanted someone to sing Nigger Whitey with him.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Sly Son shit right, So Ernie says, iced T iced

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>T's hardcore. This is the perfect person. So I come

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 2>to the video shoot. I know the song. I got

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>no problem singing it with him, and we sang nigger

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Whitey backup, gonna call me nigger whitey, don't call me whitey, nigga.

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 3>So we're doing this shit.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 2>So after we did the video, he says he I'm

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.599
<v Speaker 2>about to do a tour called Lollapalooza.

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna have butthole surfers, Rollin's band.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>He was naming bands he wanted to get and he said,

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to take a rapper out.

0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to go? I'm like, hell yeah, hell yeah.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>So what happened was I had an hour set, fifty

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>five minute set, and then they said you could do

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want, and I split the set and I

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 2>did half iced Tea half body Count.

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>That's where I introduced body Count to the world.

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>And uh, after I would do my rap set. I said,

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>now I'm about to prove to you that rock and

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>roll has nothing to do with color. It's a state

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of mind. And we turned the guitars up and bow

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 2>and that was it.

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 4>You ain't want to remind them rock and roll was

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 4>a jump anyway.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So well, you know, hip hop is rock, whether people

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>want to claim it or not.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You don't. Aren't be the mic. We rocked the mic,

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>We rocked the house. Rock.

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>See, pop is when you sing what everybody wants to hear.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>This is what I learned this from Quincy Jones. Pop

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>is easy to do. Sing what people want to hear.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Go to school, love your mother, dah dah da.

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 3>That's pop. Be popular. Rock is fucked that. I'm gonna

0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 3>do this shit my fucking way. That's rock.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Whether you do that with pianos, whether you do that

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>with guitars, or you do that with.

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>A mic or some drums. Hip hop is rock period,

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>all right. I know you've been asked a trillion times

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>about the cop killer incident, but no, no, I know,

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I also feel like that doesn't define you,

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>especially now.

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 3>But you know what it is though.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 2>You only get stripes for fighting battles, you know what

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. So I'm very proud of my battles, you know,

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>because that was a moment where I could have got

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>taken out, you know, like.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Not even just my career. They were trying to get

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 3>rid of a nigga, you know.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to know, Like how serious? How

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>real did he get?

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 2>The worst ship was bomb threats to Warner Brothers where

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.319
<v Speaker 2>they had to clear the building on several occasions, or

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>what they were threatening to blow up Warner Brothers and

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>they had to clear the building on several occasions on

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>account of me because they were getting bomb threats.

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it got heavy.

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 5>Who's threatening because we're talking about the authority, So who

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 5>is the threat?

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 4>That's the interesting part.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>This is something you got to understand with beef. If

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you create beef, you might not have problems with the

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>people you're beefing with. You have a problem with outside it.

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's say hypothetically I gotten a beef with let's say

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>method man who's one of my good friends. I ain't

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 2>got to worry about running a meth. I could run

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>into some wu tang thingple. I could run into somebody

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>who loves him at a restaurant. I could run into

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>some girls that fuck you icing. It can happen. So

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 2>when you justs the cops, you can run in somebody

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>who's brother is a cop, an ex cop, somebody.

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Who's just a paked You set up energy of beef

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.839
<v Speaker 3>out there. You don't know where it's going.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>You never just beefing with one person.

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, you're beefing with they fans, right, every fucking

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>So I was, you know when we did cop Killer

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and they made it a big thing by it becoming

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 2>so public, it gave more people a chance to dislike me.

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, it wasn't a small thing. It went national.

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Now you got to understand there's levels of news. Like

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 2>all this shit is on the black blogs, that's nigga news.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 3>That's that news.

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 2>You you ain't gonna know about that, But when it

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>makes it to CNN, that's national news.

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 3>All of what I'm saying, so a lot of this.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Stuff, I gotta do it. I gotta do a parallel, folks.

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of like, well, Kiernan, I gotta do the

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 5>white parallel because we can't just do nigga news. We

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 5>gotta do cracker news too. So yeah, I just yeah, okay,

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 5>I got you thought.

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 3>But there's certain blogs that we listen to. Yes, right, yes,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 3>if you talk.

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>To somebody in the mainstream, they have no idea that

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>such and such as BT or they don't know about

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. TMZ is starting to leak a little bit

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of our business out there.

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 3>But you know who's cheating on who? They don't care.

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 4>This makes money.

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 2>National news is coming on right after the war, and uh,

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you know Ukraine warn Rouquine.

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Now I see you and Warner Brothers. This is now.

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Now you're in front of the world. This is big ship.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 2>So you got to know, like a lot of the

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>stuff that we take as big isn't really that big.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like cultural, you know, and it hasn't

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>really made it to the to the mainstream.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 3>This ship was big. The President was on my bumper,

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, we were let me date myself. We were playing.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Techno bowl, quest Ah, and my boy comes downstairs, like, yo,

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the President is on TV talking about ice and we

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 2>ran upstairs and Quail so they're ice to you.

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 3>So Quail's like ice to you, and all the homies

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 3>in the house was like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 2>See, very few people will ever have a living president

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>say their name and anger. That's saved for like terrorists

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and been Liden and shit like that. Right when the

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>president is mad at you, fuck the police, you have

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>the United States government on your bumper. I got tax

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 2>arted it twice that year. I had ice cream trucks

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 2>sitting in front of my house in the middle of

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the winter. These motherfuckers are on you. They try because

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 2>when a president says questlove, this guy's a problem. All

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the FBIDA, all them do background checks because the next

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>question could be what do we know about him? They

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 2>can't say he plays on tonight's show, he's a drummer.

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>They say his.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Shoe size, is this, his blood type is this?

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 3>This happens. When that happens, you feel it.

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 2>You feel the government looking you up and down to

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>try to find out because they had to check and

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 2>see was I really trying to make a call to arms.

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Was I telling people go kill the cops my problem,

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 2>which I was, and I was just making a record.

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Well wait, did you did you feel vindicated because Rodney

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 1>King happens a year later?

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Now? They blamed Rodney King on me.

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.400
<v Speaker 2>They spun it to make it seem like I made

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>that record because of Rodney King.

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.679
<v Speaker 3>I got caught in a big It was a it

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:24.840

<v Speaker 2>Political year of the Colnel Order of Police out of Texas.

<v Speaker 2>I caused the riots. They they they was on They bullshit.

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 2>They had a big machine. But see here's the trip.

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 2>They weren't really mad at me. They were mad at

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Warner Brothers because they were like, Okay, we understand ice

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>T should be mad, but why White company give him

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the platform to say this? And that became the death

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 2>of Warner Brothers. You gotta remember when I did that.

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Warner Brothers had Prince, Warner Brothers had a Slayer, They

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>had the Ghetto Boys, they had Sam Kenniston, they had

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>anything that was edgy. And that ended, and and and

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 2>and when the last thing was when they dropped the

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>deal with Innerscope, When that was all happening When Ted

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Turner came in, Warner Brothers had to separate from anything

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.639
<v Speaker 2>controversial because of me.

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I started the Wow. But for a second, did it

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like your bag was about to stop in terms

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.360
<v Speaker 1>of like people were not taking were you losing roles?

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Where you had New Jack City Part two?

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 1>So there was going to be a sequel?

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that, me neither, but Nino lived. Well wait,

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you knew this about day?

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I saw.

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I saw George Jackson.

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 6>They they did an interview. This was years ago, but

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 6>they mentioned it then, but it never.

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 2>What happened was Wesley went off and he did Demolition

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Man and made seven million, and you know, I was

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. So now they can't hit Wesley's number because

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the whole movie Knwjack was made for five million. Everything happened,

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 2>but nah.

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You know I got You know.

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>What happened though, is like when you get in some

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>shit like this. I never pointed in any other rappers.

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I never pointed at any other rock groups because I'm like, Yo,

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>this is my heat, and you know, to me, that's

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of like like snitching. It's kind of like, Yo,

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you got caught, nigga handle your business.

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Take it.

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 2>This is your shit. So you've never seen icy, Well,

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 2>what about this group or what about Noah. I'm like, okay,

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you on me, let's go fuck it. But the way

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 2>they came at me, I didn't know if I was

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna survive. You know what I'm saying. But I just

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 2>had to stand my ground and I and I remember

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I met with Minister Farakhan at Honorable Elijah Muhammad's house

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>and in all honestly, he just told me, he said,

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>what you did wasn't subtle.

0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 3>If you stand in the street, expect to get hit

0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 3>by car.

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 2>So I had to learn that we have freedom of speech,

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 2>but watch what you say and you have I had

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the right to sing cop killer, but they also had

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the right to attack. So anything you say, prepare for

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the ramifications of what you say.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And I was not.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Prepared for the ramifications. I would just singing some shit

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and I wasn't ready for them to attack.

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's a lesson. You know, you could say anything.

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>We all have the right to say anything, but you

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 2>also gotta be if you say something anti gay, be prepared.

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 2>You did what I'm saying. If I mentioned any rapper's name,

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 2>be prepared. So just don't be reckless talking and shit

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 2>and think there won't be no smoke, you know, And

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.479
<v Speaker 2>if I do say it, I should be ready for

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 2>that smoke.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>You know. If I'm Colin Pat Kaepernick and I dropped

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>down and I.

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Gonna pull a kneel, I gotta know that NFL is

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna make a move on me.

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>And I gotta be strong enough to handle that. Or

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't do it.

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>They don't do it, you know.

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.679
<v Speaker 2>So don't don't protest and get fired now because you

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.919
<v Speaker 2>got fired, Because to protest, you gotta you gotta be

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 2>prepared for the hit.

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be a hit back, or you're not really

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 3>protesting nothing.

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I had to g there for us.

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to ask about the Home Invasion record because

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 6>that one came on priority. What led to that change

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 6>from Warner to.

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Party because after Cop Killer, Warner was scared to put

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 2>my records out. So what happened was I came in

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.120
<v Speaker 2>with Home Invasion because now I'm consecutive. I had every

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>record I put out with Gold and Power termed platinum.

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm hot over there, but they just went through some

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>ship body count itself now it so it so gold twice.

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 3>It went gold with cop Killer, then when gold without

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:01.200
<v Speaker 3>for them.

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And I came in.

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 3>And they had my lyrics written on these big boards.

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>They wrote it out, and uh, I had some file lit.

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I had this one rhyme in G style where I

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>say I give a fuck about a cop or a

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 2>G man.

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 3>They all talk shit, They're breath smelling like semen. I

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.720

<v Speaker 1>Alone.

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, you know that's that's what I do.

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.679
<v Speaker 2>So they pull this lyric out, that lyric out, this

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 2>lyric out, and I was just like.

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I said, can I go? Because now I'm in

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 2>a difficult place. They never A and R any of

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 2>my music. It was just good, go body counts. You

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.639

<v Speaker 2>over there. I'm in a great.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Place, but now it should change.

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 2>So Home Invasion was coming right after cop Killer, so

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 2>they let me go?

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Can I something? Was Benny Medina part of any of

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>these meetings.

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Benny Medina was the A and R guy back in

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the day, but he never A and R me because

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>he was Warner, not uh sire. Benny was a good

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>cat up there. He did the uptown thing. And Benny

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 2>was always a friend of mine.

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>And and he was cool with me. Okay, but I'm dealing.

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 3>With Moe Austin and Lenny Warnerker, I'm dealing.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>With the top guys, and.

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 2>They were They really didn't want me to go, but

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 2>they were. It was kind of like it was a

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 2>fucked up situation. I was getting them in trouble and

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll never forget. They were like, as soon as we

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>allow them to censor, you're we're up shit Creek and

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 2>and and Warner stayed down with me, even Gerald Levin

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.639
<v Speaker 2>wrote a big thing in the in the Wall Street Journal,

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 2>the CEO of Time Warner backing me up. And I

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 2>just felt like, it's kind of like me and you

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 2>were friends quests, and I'm getting you in trouble man,

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just like, look, no, no, I'm just gonna

<v Speaker 2>bail man.

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 3>I got because I gotta still do me. I got,

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I got it.

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like Dave Chappelle, I gotta go because I gotta

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I gotta do me because my career is based on

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>my integrity and I can't have y'all sensor and my ship,

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:34.679
<v Speaker 2>so I'd go to priority. Brian Turner did nw A

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and all them. They were still open and why and

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 2>they was ready and they took the record. But I'll

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 2>tell you what Warner did and nobody knows this. They

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't charge me for the album. So normally, let's.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Say they gave me half a million dollars to make

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 3>that album. That was a lot of money back in

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 3>the days. Now people are getting threes and five millions

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 3>to make records. But half a million. I didn't have

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 3>to recoup it.

0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>They let you keep your tapes and just go to

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>So that was fly. That was fly.

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 2>They didn't say, hey, you could take this album, but

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 2>we got to get the money back. They just let

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 2>me have it. So I took it over there and

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I was fighting with the source, and you know, the

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 2>source was talking.

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Ship can't remember that, because yeah.

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 3>They said I folded. They were like ice gave in,

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 3>and you know, and Chuck kept me saying because Chuck

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 3>d said those that aren't in the war should never

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 3>come in on the battles.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 1>They don't really what the fuck is really going on

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in here?

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's why.

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.840
<v Speaker 2>On the record you like Home Invasion, the first song

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 2>is called It's On. And that's why I was like, Yo,

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we can't take any cut off the products.

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what we're gonna do.

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I still got soldiers, you know, turn up to mic

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Dog so I can go off. Find me charton Heston

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and I might cut his head off. You know, I'm

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be fucked with. I was on my bullshit.

0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I was mad, you know, and you know I say, uh,

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.760

<v Speaker 2>And when I see you'll get you in my sights.

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you as a story to write its song.

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So I remember how shocking was it for you some

<v Speaker 1>like nineteen years later, just sort of lived through ninety

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 1>nine problems, now becoming you know, kind of an anthem.

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I trust that you're one of the publishers of ninety

<v Speaker 3>Because Stardioe ass like trash because they rode for you

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 3>the second time.

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, So I'm on my best behavior.

<v Speaker 1>So wait a minute, Oh, but weren't you responsible for

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.000

<v Speaker 3>What's he like?

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:36.839
<v Speaker 2>That's how they always ask, like they don't they want

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 2>to bring someone out on the show, but they don't

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 2>want it to be Prima Donna.

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 3>He's extra. I say, he's a great person.

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:45.399

<v Speaker 2>a nigga up there, nigga might wile out.

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Yo. Snoop came up there and smoked the whole place out.

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah that's the rue. You just gotta know.

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 5>So all right, So back to my fan out question.

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 5>Though it was there most challenging storyline, I appreciate. I

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 5>just want to say how Chutuola has become an amazing

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:15.960
<v Speaker 5>grandfather to his gay sons, husbands and the children and whatnot.

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.040
<v Speaker 5>But what has been a challenging storyline for you in

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:18.600
<v Speaker 5>this journey?

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Anything that does with children bothers me.

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:25.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, I mean, I got a problem with you know, pedophilia,

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:27.479
<v Speaker 3>and all that old, weird, old shit.

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't rock with that. I don't.

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think street cats fuck with that.

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>That's just real. You know you're not gonna do well

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in prison with that. You know.

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 2>You know what the definition of pedophilia is mm. It

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 2>means you're into things that are preprovescent. H that's nasty.

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.959
<v Speaker 2>That's nasty. So anytime we're dealing with that kind of shit,

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:54.479
<v Speaker 2>I personally got an issue with that shit.

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 1>That's nasty to me.

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:59.759
<v Speaker 2>And I got on that show and the storylines are

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 2>so crazy and so dark and so weird, but they're

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:02.879
<v Speaker 2>real shit.

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It's real stuff.

0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 2>So I'll tell you a funny when, like one season,

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I come back and they tell me you're getting married.

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, to who, They're like, Phoebe. I'm like, who's Phoebe?

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>That's the girl from three seasons ago that wasn't gonna

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:20.880
<v Speaker 2>hook up with you?

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.720
<v Speaker 3>So when did we get together? Over COVID? The fans

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:26.919
<v Speaker 3>know it, so I had to talk.

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 4>It was kind of a few shout out to Jennifer Esposito.

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm mad. I know everything that goes on in this show,

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 4>but I'm.

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Glass Jennifer got engaged and we let that rock out

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the whole season and we didn't get married.

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 1>But do you get a saying like the direction that

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 1>your character goes? Not really?

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:47.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm an I've learned to add quests, so

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't really care.

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Where my character goes as long as it doesn't die,

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, because close calls where it's like, okay, we

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 1>got to talk to you or go to dinner. Like

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 1>how do you know if your character is getting because

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you're not shot.

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 3>You get shot, I mean you get shot in the

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 3>script and you see the shot. Then you go like this,

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 3>oh shit, don't breath. I'm breathing on taking ship.

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I survived that, you know. But now there's a producer

0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:17.439
<v Speaker 2>or Lauren Ordter, we call the Grim Reaper. He takes

0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:19.520
<v Speaker 2>me to dinner. It's around.

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So when you get taken to dinner, you already know. Yeah.

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:25.839
<v Speaker 3>See, I'm I'm gangster with them. You know.

0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I signed up with Dick Wolf and I'm like his

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 2>ride or die. I've been on five shows with Dick Wolf, right,

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:35.359
<v Speaker 2>so he understands. And when I I told them on

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 2>some real ship, I said, if y'all gonna get rid

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 2>of me, give me six months advance, so I could

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:42.160
<v Speaker 2>book a tour or something.

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Just don't do me. Don't just do me that.

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 3>I deserve that.

0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:50.239
<v Speaker 2>And now being the longest running actor in television, they

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 2>owe me that, you know, you know, so I'm like,

0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm good with them. I told Dick Wolf straight up.

0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I told him, I said, I'm on the show to

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the wheels all off. You know what I'm saying.

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I I'm there.

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't have no plans in leaving, and you know,

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.719
<v Speaker 2>all things come to an end. We weren't getting ready

0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to start the twenty fifth season, and at some point

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 2>it'll be over. And then I'm just gonna go out

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>and read for Samuel Jackson's parts.

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Oohy, it's really gonna be over. I think that show

0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:24.880
<v Speaker 1>is basically built to last.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, as long as you are, Mariska, to be honest,

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 5>that's what I was wanting. I was like, you were, Mariska.

0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:31.759
<v Speaker 5>I feel like, as long as y'all are, there is

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 5>there at least an outside of the show, a relationship

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:36.439
<v Speaker 5>between you and Riska as well.

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I told Mariska's point blank. I say, in my life,

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I have three women. I have my two daughters and

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:45.239
<v Speaker 2>my wife, But I've made more money.

0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:48.840
<v Speaker 3>With you, Mariska. So you got to understand where you

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:49.839
<v Speaker 3>stand in my life.

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Me and Mariska twenty five years, that's longer than you

0:40:52.760 --> 0:40:58.000
<v Speaker 2>went to high school college. Who you know that you like,

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 2>like Quest has been with Jimmy every day. When you starting.

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Relationships where you're with somebody every day for years and

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 1>years and years and years, that's me and Tarik. Like,

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I've had a longer consistent every day relationship

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>with Tarik than my my parent, like my family, anyone.

0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:18.200
<v Speaker 4>You've seen him more than all of them.

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's what I said.

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:21.319
<v Speaker 4>And I thought about this icy.

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 5>I was like, what does it icy feel like to

0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 5>know that, like, he's been a cop longer than he's

0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 5>been an EMC. I mean, well, you're always gonna be

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.360
<v Speaker 5>an MC, but longer than you've been making records.

0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I put it that way.

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been acting like a cop. I'm not no motherfucking cop.

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I know that's right.

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>You better tell me.

0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Like a cop.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.520
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the thing of it is is that

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:45.919
<v Speaker 2>if you hire, if you hire a streetcat to play

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a cop, you get more of an official cop because

0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the cops is really are really thugs, right, you know,

0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 2>so the way they handle themself. If you get a

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 2>square he and he acts like a cop. He acts

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 2>like a rookie cop. But as the cops get older,

0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:04.960
<v Speaker 2>they pick up the lingo. If you ever dealt with

0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:08.320
<v Speaker 2>a DA you'll swear to God you're talking to drug dealers.

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:10.719
<v Speaker 2>If you ever talk to a mob cop, you swear

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.720
<v Speaker 2>to God you're talking to somebody's to the mob.

0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 3>They pick up the lingo.

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 2>So Dick Wolf was like, if I cast Ice as

0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:20.640
<v Speaker 2>a cop, you get a cop with an interesting dynamic.

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 3>When I'm interrogating somebody.

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 2>You you, you, the viewer, feel like Ice about to

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 2>smack the ship out this nigga. Yep, yes, now here's

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 2>something for you. Acting like a cop and a gangster

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 2>are the exact same acting. It's see, both of you

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:43.239
<v Speaker 2>got a gun, both of you got an attitude, and

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.359
<v Speaker 2>both of you say if I don't get what I want,

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:46.960
<v Speaker 2>there will be a consequence.

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:51.680
<v Speaker 3>So it's an ad it's an energy that is gangster.

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.200
<v Speaker 3>But you just have a bad same shit.

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of times when I'm acting, I'm not

0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 2>thinking like a cop.

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, yo, motherfucker, you finna do what I

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:00.879
<v Speaker 3>want you to do.

0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna fucking fuck you up.

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I love watching it. I just love watching you. I

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 4>really do. I really do.

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 5>I just I think for your fans that we just

0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 5>love an evolution, even where they where you are in

0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 5>the police force.

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Now, the beauty of it is for me in LL

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 2>is that our fans have matured with us.

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.919
<v Speaker 3>So you probably were with us when we were rapping, and.

0:43:22.840 --> 0:43:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Now you know, you're not necessarily listening to a hip

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 2>hop like that anymore. But you've grown up and your

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:32.840
<v Speaker 2>mother's and this, that and the third. But we're still

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the people you grew up with. Our fan base has

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:38.360
<v Speaker 2>matured with us.

0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 5>But it's also seeing y'all as whole men too, Like

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.440
<v Speaker 5>seeing you show feelings, seeing you all the things. It's

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.920
<v Speaker 5>just beautiful to watch, even if you are acting. But

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 5>I know that when you went own your house, some

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 5>of that stuff goes home.

0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>To some of it.

0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:55.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, speaking of a home, And like with your marriage, man,

0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 6>how did you make that transition from being in the

0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:00.760
<v Speaker 6>streets to you know, going straight?

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:05.439
<v Speaker 2>The thing of it is that when a woman meets

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:07.319
<v Speaker 2>the right man, it's the right time. When a man

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 2>hits the right time, he'll be ready for the right woman.

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh shit, yeah, that's sure.

0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:16.880
<v Speaker 2>So men we're kind of like no good up to

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 2>thirty five years old because we have to go through

0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the same thing they went through. See, women, they mature

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:28.480
<v Speaker 2>earlier because at seventeen, if a girl's hot, she's in

0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.919
<v Speaker 2>the club, she's she's living the life we can't live.

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:35.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, she in the car with the forty year old niggas.

0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Right right, think about it.

0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:38.959
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get in the Bends until I bought one,

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:39.920
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>So they make.

0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Sure they mature much faster because life opens for them earlier.

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:48.680
<v Speaker 2>When you see all these girls in bikinis laid out

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:51.919
<v Speaker 2>on the yacht. Them bitches don't own that yacht. They're

0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 2>on the take Q.

0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 3>We can't get on the yacht unlet's buy it, right,

0:44:58.440 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 3>So the life happens for.

0:44:59.880 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 2>The But here's the problem. Here's the problem. When y'all

0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:08.280
<v Speaker 2>is slowing down, we're just taking off. Yeah at twenty seven,

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 2>when the woman sees thirty and she's like, I need

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:12.239
<v Speaker 2>to slow down and figure it out.

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 6>The guys just getting his bag.

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:17.919
<v Speaker 3>And so it's a stagger with us.

0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:23.880
<v Speaker 2>So what happens is I had a girlfriend Darlene who

0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:25.760
<v Speaker 2>was on my covers. Me and her were like together

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:29.480
<v Speaker 2>for fifteen years, but I never got married because I

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.640
<v Speaker 2>already knew what kind of nigga I was, you know,

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 2>still in you know, moving, I'm just becoming famous through one.

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:40.959
<v Speaker 3>Don't marry nobody. It's just getting at the beginning of fame.

0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Hell yeah, yeah, it's you never.

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It's an onslaughter pussy and you just have to weather

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:54.439
<v Speaker 2>that's shit. And you think, anyway, what happens is when

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I met Coco. When I met Coco, I was forty

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:02.239
<v Speaker 2>two years old, and I was done. I've been to

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the theme park, I've been to everything, I've done this,

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:08.480
<v Speaker 2>and now I was ready, and you know, I needed

0:46:08.520 --> 0:46:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to find somebody. And since she had matured earlier, she

0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:14.680
<v Speaker 2>had been running when she was seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, so when I met her, she was kind

0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:20.839
<v Speaker 2>of done. And in the words of Pimp and Kin,

0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:23.160
<v Speaker 2>one damn bitch is worth ten funky hose, you know

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. So you know, at some point I

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 2>chose and and fortunately it's stuck like glue. We've been

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:33.760
<v Speaker 2>mad at for twenty two years and crazy man, it's beautiful.

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:37.839
<v Speaker 3>It was. It was just it was just the right chick,

0:46:37.920 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 1>She she liked me.

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Like when I met her, I had on a red

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 3>snake skin suit.

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know I was. I was on some.

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Player shit and a video. She's like, ooh, that's flyve.

0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:53.799
<v Speaker 4>What co go from?

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Was she running with?

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:58.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, she could do that, Okay.

0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:02.960
<v Speaker 3>But she but she liked this. I'm too much for

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 3>most girls.

0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:06.879
<v Speaker 2>They like nigger worded out of your work work mouth

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:10.200
<v Speaker 2>is pimping ho and bitches. And she's like, ooh, ooh,

0:47:10.360 --> 0:47:11.760
<v Speaker 2>top that shit.

0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:13.799
<v Speaker 3>She liked. She liked me.

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.920
<v Speaker 2>So I finally found a woman that really accepted me,

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:21.680
<v Speaker 2>and I liked her. She was always you know, she's

0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:25.800
<v Speaker 2>out there, you know, borderline exhibitionist. She likes showing herself.

0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:29.400
<v Speaker 2>She's fun and I dig it. She ain't right for everybody.

0:47:29.520 --> 0:47:31.080
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of times people will come to me

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and go, well, give me some advice. I said, I can.

0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you how. I can tell you how

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:38.279
<v Speaker 2>to be married to my wife. I can't tell you

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:41.759
<v Speaker 2>how to be married to yours. I know what it

0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:44.279
<v Speaker 2>takes to make her happy, but I don't know what

0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you might be dealing with. So, but you know, we

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:52.920
<v Speaker 2>always say men settle where they find peace. And my

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:56.520
<v Speaker 2>wife does not argue, she doesn't raise her voice. She's

0:47:57.680 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 2>very peaceful, she's very nice and week and she has

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 2>me happy, has me wanting to stay in the house

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and play video games, and she's enough for me.

0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:09.440
<v Speaker 3>And what you play? What games? What games you want?

0:48:09.440 --> 0:48:15.280
<v Speaker 1>What you be on? Oh? Duty and first person shooters?

0:48:15.640 --> 0:48:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, you're shooters. Okay, gotcha.

0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:21.800
<v Speaker 3>But you know one thing about relationships, don't brag on

0:48:21.880 --> 0:48:23.320
<v Speaker 3>them because you'll jinx yourself.

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh god, you got as precious word. Come on im,

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 4>you know it's.

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a good place.

0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:32.160
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, you know, you ever notice, like when

0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:37.440
<v Speaker 2>you watch basketball wives, none of them are really the wives. Yes,

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 2>because the wives aren't doing no fucking interviews. The wives

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 2>are happy, they're in the mansion, they're doing great.

0:48:44.600 --> 0:48:48.520
<v Speaker 3>They don't want to talk. They x wives running.

0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Their motherfucker mouse. But go to somebody's wife in life,

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:56.399
<v Speaker 2>don't talk. I don't want to talk about it. So well,

0:48:56.800 --> 0:48:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll keep it quiet. Everything's good on the icy front.

0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Wait time out, Steve, do you remember

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:10.919
<v Speaker 1>our fourth day at Fallon? I forget which writer ran

0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in to ask me, I forget the writer, but she

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.839
<v Speaker 1>ran and says, am, here, do you know who Ice

0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 1>t Hea is? And I was like yeah, no iced Tea.

0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And they wanted me a broker, like I guess one

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:27.840
<v Speaker 1>of the one of the Fallon writers had maybe Morgan Morgan,

0:49:28.080 --> 0:49:32.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe I forget it was, but like she had she

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:37.480
<v Speaker 1>had snarked a comment on Twitter, and they wanted us

0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to translate the roots, like what does this mean? Like

0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.799
<v Speaker 1>should I run out of state or should I? I

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:45.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, it's I forget what your response was.

0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But they were obviously not used to playing the dozens

0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:52.839
<v Speaker 1>or any of that sort of thing.

0:49:53.520 --> 0:50:02.040
<v Speaker 2>And a bitch from it's Twitter though, you know it's Twitter.

0:50:02.080 --> 0:50:03.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like yo, whatever.

0:50:05.800 --> 0:50:10.680
<v Speaker 1>My fourth day Fallon literally like I just remember having

0:50:10.760 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to walk in the writer's room and calm this person down,

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 1>like okay means right exactly.

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:21.879
<v Speaker 3>Does not mean it's a dick.

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 1>It means eat a dick, all right?

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:28.000
<v Speaker 3>So whatever. You know what, man, people they don't know how.

0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 2>To really respond to certain people. They don't know what's up.

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:33.480
<v Speaker 2>They don't you know, people come over my house, they

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:36.040
<v Speaker 2>expect to see people hanging off meat hooks and ship.

0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you understand because they pick up a persona from you.

0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 2>They might just listen to my records. They might listen

0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to body count. They don't know who I am really.

0:50:46.440 --> 0:50:47.040
<v Speaker 3>You're somebody.

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Daddy like you a whole.

0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Like you know me better than some They'll take a

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:54.799
<v Speaker 2>small thing and turn that.

0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Into my whole persona.

0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.839
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, So you know it is

0:50:58.880 --> 0:51:01.279
<v Speaker 2>what it is, man, But you know, let me do

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 2>my shameless plug.

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Please second check on the daily game.

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:10.239
<v Speaker 2>The daily game was something that I would do on

0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Twitter because when I first got on Twitter, I realized

0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:15.400
<v Speaker 2>it was mob rules, and I said, you have to

0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:17.479
<v Speaker 2>get a crew, you got to get people to fuck

0:51:17.520 --> 0:51:20.000
<v Speaker 2>with you. So I needed something to make you go

0:51:20.200 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 2>back to my page because Twitter is nothing but a

0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 2>chat room.

0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:26.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a chatroom.

0:51:26.120 --> 0:51:29.759
<v Speaker 2>It's going right now and talking back and forth and

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:34.400
<v Speaker 2>in this million person a multimillion dollar, million person chatroom.

0:51:34.640 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 2>If you follow quests, that means I'm interested in what

0:51:37.840 --> 0:51:42.000
<v Speaker 2>he's saying versus everybody else. But if you have a

0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:47.319
<v Speaker 2>timeline with a thousand people his tweet, just shoot. So

0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the only way you really can make Twitter work is

0:51:49.760 --> 0:51:52.279
<v Speaker 2>if I go to your page like I'm gonna go

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 2>see what Quest said today. So I cram up with

0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:57.680
<v Speaker 2>this thing called The Daily Game, and it's just jewels

0:51:57.719 --> 0:52:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I got from players and iHeartRadio dug them and said, hey,

0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:06.160
<v Speaker 2>why don't we turn this into a podcast. So the

0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:09.440
<v Speaker 2>podcast is iced Ty's Daily Game. It's on Spotify, and

0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.439
<v Speaker 2>every day I drop a jewel and then I break

0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 2>it down like what the lady wanted Quest to do.

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:18.719
<v Speaker 2>So you know shit like I if it feels like

0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:20.840
<v Speaker 2>you're going in circles, it's probably.

0:52:20.600 --> 0:52:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Because you're cutting corners. You understand me, you know.

0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 2>So there these are little tidbits I got from different

0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:37.160
