103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: When did y'all write that record because it seems so

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: timely with everything that's going on with police brutality. Yeah,

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, just the way we need to seem like

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,400

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: you write that record? Um? We wrote it like it

108
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: was like October because Ava Douvna, who directed the movie,

109
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: she was talking to me about doing the song, but

110
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: they was busy editing. So I was like, Okay, one day,

111
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: I just like, man, let me call John Legend. We

112
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: just get started on the song and he started it up.

113
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: I told him the title Glory was one of them,

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: and he sent me to the music like he sent

115
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: me the piano, him singing, I just out of working

116
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: on that joint. We wrote that joint quick though. It

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: was in the height of everything. Yeah, he gave it

118
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: a really powerful speech at the Oscars. But some people,

119
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, we're upset about it. Like I saw

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: people saying, oh, you know, how dare he say these things?

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand that. Yeah, I mean, you know, you

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: know you can't keep everybody happy. I've been having more

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: people come up to me and like, you know, be like, man,

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: people saying they they was crying about it. So it's

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, I know you

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: ain't gonna please everybody. I said it because that's what

128
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: it was on my mind, and I think John John

129
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: had something important to say too, So we just took

130
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: that moment to be like. We didn't even give no

131

00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: as just in hip hop, especially coming from Chicago. I

189
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: feel like, man, we didn't open some doors. It's up

00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: ain't never seeing you slap somebody down bringing up up,

207
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: remember when that's common sense? Cannot do you know? I

208
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: saw him slap somebody a little bit. Always bring things

209
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: that common is done. And you want to talk about

210
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: him slapping some time it inspires, It doesn't inspire it all.

211
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Somebody come from that and tell the story for somebody

212
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: who hasn't heard it, slap somebody the dude heckling him

213
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: in you started freestyling, and then mister the freestyle you smacked, Like, wow,

214
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: it didn't stop freestyle. Is there anything that anybody could

215
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: do now that could make you want to smack them?

216
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: I ain't. I ain't. I ain't even try to get it.

217
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: Ain't worked it, you know what I mean? Unless you

218
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: was doing something my daughter or something that's goed like

219
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: it's offending my family like that. Then otherwise it's like, man,

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: come like people will be saying certain things, and I

221
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people don't say nothing too crazy,

222
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: but if they say something i'd be a cool they'll

223
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: never say a dear faith. So it just be on

224
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: social media. See it in the wall show with your

225
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: daughter and say something slick did. But they're not gonna

226
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: that's true. Now, why didn't y'all let lettice sing, take

227
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: my hand, pressure, let me let me say, let me

228
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: say no, let me tell you, like, first of all,

229
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: it was like the Grammys put together the performance and

230
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: they choose, you know who they want. I don't think

231
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: the idea. The idea wasn't even um. I don't think

232
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: the idea was like lettuces or idea. That wasn't the idea.

233
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: I think it was the Grammys about how they would

234
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: place what they wanted Beyonce to do it. That was

235
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: between them that and they just said, yo, we're gonna

236
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: tie this in with the whole Glory and the Selma

237
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: were given a tribute to Semmer. So, you know, Lettucee

238
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: did a thing and Beyonce did her thing too. Man,

239
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: I was like, she she she does. She never a

240
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: choice like Okay, look, you know we want to sing

241
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: this song. Lettucey did it in the movie, we want

242
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: to Beyonce to do it. Yeah. No, that wasn't the idea.

243
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: The idea was more that came from the Grammys and

244
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: and some maybe somebody in Beyonce's camp. So it was

245
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: never like a choice, got you. Yeah. Now, I feel

246
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: like there's so many artists out here that are like

247
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: flash in the pan. You know, they might have a

248
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: big single right now and not have the longevity that

249
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: somebody like Common has had. You know, what are some

250
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: advice that you could give people so that they can

251
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: just keep on evolving, because you definitely have evolved from

252
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of your career. People considered you like, you know,

253
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: an underground rapper to being somebody that just has evolved

254
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: into you know, to give some free advice now, some

255
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: advice to some of these up and coming artists so

256
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: that they can know what do they need to do

257
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: to be consistent and to stay relevant. Yeah, I mean

258
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: I think you can't be afraid to change sometimes, Like

259
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: say you came like you came out saying one thing.

260
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: We all grow, we all like evolved as human beings,

261
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: she said, like your grandmother, Like can you call that

262
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: young boy if you was on the phone with one

263
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: of these kids right now. I mean too, it's like

264
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: you kind of want to you want to find your voice,

265
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: like you to just be imitating everybody else out there,

266
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: because you will be that run of the male artists

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: that we just you know you're here and then they

268
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: just fly by night. If you get something, bring something unique,

269
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: because even with Charlomagne saying like, yo, man, we thought

270
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: the Jesus was his was Jay's electric circus. Jaya bring

271
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,800

272
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: your toes, like if we if you know, like this

00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: artist is gonna do the same thing. And they only

Speaker 1: fifth album at the while you like it's like it's

275
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: like a woman that ain't like you know, y'all doing

276
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: the same position anytime, you know you want to flip it,

277
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920

360
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,720

361
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: like I just wanted to be heard as an MC.

366
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,880

367
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: had to had to fight to get that respect. That's

368
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: why I even name the album Cannot Bought a Dollar,

369
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,639

372
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,240

373
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: and who would have known. I would have got it

374
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,360

375
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: way than to be up there representing with Glory and Selma.

377
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800

380
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: that turn where you went from music and said I

381
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: want to start acting? That was like that was around

382

383
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,480
