I am your whole 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.680 Shannon Sharp. I'm also the proprietor Club Sha Shape, and 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.640 the guy that's stopping by for a drinking conversation today 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.120 is an entrepreneur, media mogul, record a record executive, a legend, 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.640 the ultimate hustler. Damn day, damn. How you doing, broum good? 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.840 How you doing? You're doing better than good? Yeah? Explain 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:02.960 to get off. Well, you know, I designed all my clothes. Okay, 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.959 So I designed this shirt, and I designed these shorts, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.080 and I designed these socks. Right, so I decided to 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.520 wear it. So are you like? Okay? So do you 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.479 only wear your gear or do you wear other mostly mine? 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.880 You know, when I was younger and I was running 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.800 around in the fashion world, you know, I'm cocky and 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.200 I'm arrogant, and I ran into like Ralph Ferrin, and 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.520 you know, I think I'm cooler than him, and he's 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.119 just kind of grinned at me, and I walked off 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.720 and I realized I had a purple labeled shut on. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.039 It devastated me. So I was like, I could never 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.360 I just feel funny wearing another man's clothing and then 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.840 I meet him, right, I just don't know. I just 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.680 feel like, also, I could always do things better creatively. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.280 I like to do everything myself. I feel like good 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:59.000 taste transcends, you know, everything, and uh, you know, I 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.120 like to do everything my self. So that's why I 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.520 like to have my own. And then also I like 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.000 to monetize the things that I love to do for free. Right, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.040 So if I'm gonna get fresh, you know, I love it, 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.320 I might as well make the clothes. And ultimately it 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.320 costs less to make your own rather than to pay 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.639 for somebody else's. It just takes a little more time, 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.840 but I like the process, right, yeah, right, So I 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.080 designed everything down to my journey except for the classics. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.400 So before we go any further, you know, I'm an entrepreneur. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.800 I just started in the connact business. I got this 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.480 was called La Portiers, a bsop named after my grandmother, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.160 and I wanted your one entrepreneur to another appreciate it. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.160 Welcome to the business is a rough business. It is, Pip, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.639 what you think? Can you do the Dame dash with that? 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.520 Can you? You know you got the dance with the 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.760 two bottles? You know? Then girls have to be here. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.000 A damn, You're never doing the Dame Dass dance without women, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.480 and I don't think possible. Let me do all that. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.280 Now come over to my name, Yes, you can do that, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:05.920 fine soul. So how have you been? What's new with you? Everything? Man, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:11.200 all my dreams are coming true. You know. I want 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.440 to go down in history, not as like an actor 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.400 or you know, an entertainer, not even an entrepreneur. I 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.799 want to go down in history as an industry conqueror. Okay, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.720 you know I don't think the way industries are shut 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.240 up right now? Behoove us as a culture and they 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.880 all need to be changed. So when I went into 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.800 the music business, I shook that shut up, and I 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.240 benched the people from the other culture that I didn't 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.480 think we're treating us fairly like a Lee or Cohen. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.640 I like to call them out by name, which a 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.680 lot of us don't do. And did the same thing 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.280 in the movie business. You know. I don't like to 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.080 get at homeboy Weinstein, but I was getting after him 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.840 way before we went through what he went through, and 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.120 everybody thought I was crazy when I made paid him full, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:04:02.760 which I'm about to make part two, and fashion same thing, Rockwear, 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:10.280 Rachel Roy stay property, you know. But the industry and 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.840 television right now, I have this partnership with Fox Soul, 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.719 and I have my own studios and make my own movies. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.760 I distribute other people's movies. I'm a director. But the 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.240 industry that I really haven't shook up. And I've been 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.720 really aggravated about his sports. I think it's the most 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:31.159 flagrant example of racism and the programming of us looking 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.520 like we're not equal, and us hurting each other and 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.560 still looking and regarding each other as number two, especially 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.120 the NFL. So you know, I look at things on 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.240 a therapeutic and also a psychological level, because that's the 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.400 way muscle is controlled. So if you're a professional football player, 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.560 which you have been your owner, I don't even like 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.719 that name. Your owner is the person that's your lifeline, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.320 that's who pays you, that's who you have to be 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.320 nice to all the time, no matter what, no matter 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:08.760 how good you are. And every owner is white. Every 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.719 owner is white. And I've personally tried to buy teams 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.640 with people from the NFL and you have to get 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.719 voted in and all this, and it's ridiculous that every 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.200 black well number one in the NFL. If everyone black quit, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.279 there is no NFL. True, But at the end of 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.200 the day, they all have to look up to a 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:35.680 white man owner and that must be traumatizing and I 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.279 don't like it. So I'm not mad about how people 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.440 set their own house up. I just build my own. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.320 So what you do understand how hard it is to 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.360 get into that because they only have thirty two teams, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.240 listen franchises that don't become available. Barrier, I just say 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.719 something about me. Nothing's hard for me. What's hard for 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.960 me is not trying. Even if it's not successful. I'm 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.680 doing it, and I'm doing it now. So my first 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.040 step is an Arena Football League. We have a team, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.320 the Tampa Cyclones, will be ships airing it. And you 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.599 know they'll be black owners. It doesn't mean that only 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.040 black people could play, but we'll be the landlords. I'm 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.520 gonna start with six teams. We start immediately. You know, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:28.200 I think I'm gonna make the announcement next next Monday 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.440 in Tampa and uh, you know, we start playing. Our 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.360 first game is April second, but in Alabama or Mississippi 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:41.000 is the first game in March. And you know, I'm 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.840 gonna have an approach on this. And my thing is 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.440 they'll be black head coaches. They'll be therapy, they'll be 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.880 economic literacy, and they'll be teaching not like yo, how 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.800 to stay here, like you know, be taught that you 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.840 could be successful if you act a certain way. It'll 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.039 be about making sure that the players are rich and 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:08.200 literate on every level, in every way. And what about 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.760 the players that just want to give a paycheck go home. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.560 Everybody doesn't want to be it doesn't have the business 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.640 augment that you does, or don't want to be in 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.760 that business model. That's why I'll do the rough stuff. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.600 I'm gonna make sure that when the player doesn't have 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.440 a career as a football player anymore. They have a 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.600 career as an entrepreneur. They'll have some real estate. And also, 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.360 I'm gonna do the same thing in the metaverse. Or 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.320 already got the I use for the MFL, the Metroros 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.920 Football League, and already have the technology to ford d 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.520 m up and already have the real estate in network, 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.120 which is like the YouTube of the metaverse. Already have 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.560 the stadium being built. I got the AI. You know, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.920 I'm thinking in other dimensions as well. So at the 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.440 end of the day, I want to shake up the 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.640 sports industry. At least I'm gonna try. Everybody looks tough 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.520 for nobody's fighting them when no one presents a different alternative. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.560 But I just think things would be a little better 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.920 if we were in control, if we were just the landlords. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.600 I want to be in my own owner's box. I 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.520 don't want to be a VIP and someone else's right. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.840 So I'll do it myself, and I'm up for the fight. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.280 I'm up for the war. You know, usually when you 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.000 want to take a block, you get it. Whoever's the 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.160 toughest one. I want to get it, Jerry Jones, so 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.200 you know. I'd love to have a conversation with him 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.560 to make me understand why there's no black owners. I 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.400 want to know, Well, you do realize that you're talking 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.000 about you need it own thirty percent the Bronco lifting. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.160 I don't want an NFL team. I'm making my own 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.080 league for you on the own league. No, I have 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.439 my own league, but doing it. But here's and look 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.679 how they treat us in the HBCU. Right, Yes, they 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.719 don't cover none of these players. Now that they can 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.680 actually have the players can now get advertisements and no, no, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.000 no one will cover their games. Well, well that's not true. 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.800 Since Dion Sanders has been down, that's the man. That's 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.040 that's the word I'm hearing. I'm hearing his name a lot. Yes, 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.360 but that's what I'm saying, since one of us had 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.440 to go take control of that situation. But if we 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.720 don't take control, it doesn't get control. We end up 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.959 just doing what's the best for them. Right. And I'm 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.040 in Jackson's at Gramblin University, so you're starting to get guys, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.280 that's familiar, right. I think they're making a conscious effort. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.559 I think some of the some of the broadcast partners 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.520 are starting to to highlight HBC US and show that 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.640 there are guys. We have to highlight ourselves. We have 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.839 to have our own television network. That's the reason why 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.200 I have my own television network. We have to showcase 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.680 our image. We have to visualize what it looks like 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.199 when we win, not when we fit in. It's when 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.080 we the bosses, and that's what it has to be 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.560 seen and it's never shown. So that's what I'm going 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.000 to do for sports, the same way I did it 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.319 for music, the same way I did it for movies. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.320 I'm gonna take us. I'm gonna take a swing on sports. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.160 I don't like it. Before I didn't have the bag. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.480 I have the plan and I'm getting that. I'm doing it, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.240 and I'm also gonna bring awareness to those HBC YOU 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.440 teams as well as well as whoever else is doing it. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.960 But I'm gonna do my part just because I haven't 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.040 ever been able, you know. It's just something that's been 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.400 bothering me time. Like certain teams I don't like because 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.200 I'd be like, yo, they never had a black head coach, 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:05.920 they'll never get a black I just don't like it, 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.600 you know, I just have when my culture. I love 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.439 the people I love. When they hurt, I hurt, right. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.800 So I'm not in that, but I'm still affected by it. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.160 I'm not gonna be in that program and be considered 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.560 distractions and watch my culture get their heads batter than 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.920 they be, ending up with all its trauma and work 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.600 away with nothing right. You know, I hear more stories 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.839 of harvest, stories of making the NFL. It's supposed to 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.640 be a dream and then it turns into a nightmare. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.640 This is what I hear, and I hear it just 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.240 because of the psycho psychological pressure it takes just to 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.200 even fit in. But of course, if you're thinking your 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.960 number two, when you gotta pray to some white men 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.000 they get paid, of course you're gonna be traumatized. That's 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.400 the program that has to stop. And I'm not gonna 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.280 complain about what they do. I'm a complain about what 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.319 I don't do. So I'm gonna try and I'm gonna win. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.480 So if that I don't visualize the law seven? Is 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.560 that the reason why you got into the spaces that 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.520 you got in, You got into the music, you've got 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.680 into the I played a little bit. I played football. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.360 I'm a fan Okay, I played basketball, I'm a fan. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.720 I played lacrosse. I'm a fan. And these are the 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.880 things where I just don't like the narrative where the 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.280 person calling the plays is never from my culture really, 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.199 and when they are, it's like a big deal it. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.000 Ship should be the normal. We gotta own ship so 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.680 we can make the rules. Will never ever make the 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.319 rules if we don't own nothing. And I don't want 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:22.800 to start out as big as them. I just want 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.559 to own it. I just want to try it as 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.040 an owner. I want to see it. But everybody makes 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.040 things look so hard when they never try it. I 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:33.360 gotta try it. Okay, you want to own, I gotta own. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.880 I can't speak in any other language. But here's the thing. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.079 I only talk boss. What about people that don't want 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.200 to own? What about them? They don't have to, but 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:41.760 I fight for them, and I'll make sure they don't 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:46.720 get abused. They'll be protected by those that do. Period. Okay, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.240 I can I can rock with that. You mentioned your 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.079 arena league, what you and listening that you talk. You said, well, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.400 I'm tired of seeing that people that look like me 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.560 do all the heavy lifting, they do, all the legwork, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.040 they catch the ball, they throw the ball, they tackle 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.679 the they're getting hit. While we look up there and 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.520 the people that's looking at using the money look like us. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.720 They don't look like us. They're paying us, they're laughing 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.520 at us. That's the way I look at it. So, 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.520 if you had an opportunity to buy an NFL team, 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.040 you don't want to buy an NFL team. You want 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.760 to go a competing league. No, no, no, if they 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.760 want to play nice. We've tried to buy how many 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.200 black teap men have tried to buy football teams? And 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.400 a white board said no, I know ray Lewis tried 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.520 as a majority or as a minority. I want I 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.320 want to be the boss. Okay, well, how but here's 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.160 the thing. I tried to buy the Raiders. I get it, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.200 thank I get it. But how many black people have 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.120 the capital to be able to put up thirty percent 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.280 of an NFL team? First of all, how many people 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.839 in general put up their own many in the first place. Anyway, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.040 we all have to come together and put our money together. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.880 They're gonna make it right. That's the difference between us 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.240 and them. They know how to leverage, they know how 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.240 to stick together. They don't put up no money. They 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.360 pre sell everything before it happens. You get it, you 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.600 get build it, mean pre sell the rights to the 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.520 naming rights, and then it pays for everything. They just 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.559 beat us. Don't know how to do it. There's no owner. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.680 One on one. I'll give it to you. I made one. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.320 I know how to run a team right now, I think. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:25.199 But I'm gonna try. It's logical. You know the goes. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.360 They won't I again. I'm gonna get an opportunity to 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:31.559 be it on it. Let me talk to you for 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.960 a second. Okay, having the money doesn't mean you're getting 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.480 in that club. And you know that true bust it 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.439 would already be there two exactly. So I'm gonna go 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.360 bust my ass and my chops to raise a bunch 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.160 of money, kiss their ass, and they still gonna tell 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.400 me no all, I'm gonna end up as mad. I've 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.520 been through this dance before I tried to buy a team. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:47.959 I'm trying to tell you, just like if you try 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.600 to buy a house, just because you're gonna be add 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:50.920 on the house, don't mean you're gonna win the be 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.559 it again again. I'd make my own team, but that 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.840 in NFL. Fuck it. I'm gonna say that. I'm gonna 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.760 say this. I'm gonna say this. They have no con 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.640 I'm coming to be con. I want to take a 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.040 stab at it. Right, Why do you listen? I don't 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.880 want That's like saying, make a TV show. I'm gonna say, nah, bro, 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.200 I'm gonna have my own network, make a movie. Nah. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.000 I gotta have my own movie company, make a record. Nah, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.280 I gotta have a label. So when I was eighteen 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.880 years old and everyone was telling me Yo Jays is whack, 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.040 no one would sign him, I had to do it myself. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.800 When Kanye when no one would sign him, I had 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.000 to do it myself. When no one would put Kevin 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.920 hard on, I had to do it myself. When no 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.320 one would fund Lee Daniels, I had to do it myself. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.880 And it goes on and on and on. I gotta 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.800 do this myself. It's gotta be a fist though, because 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.720 you mentioned, okay, you mentioned why I want to fit 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.560 in and I could build my own Okay, build Why 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.160 do I think they better than me? Why would I 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.080 think they better than me because he's been there longer? No, 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.160 because they because they own it and I don't my 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.200 shit is better no matter what period. And you'll see 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.920 I'm gonna be logical about the approach and I'm gonna 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.040 be futuristic. I'm always in dimension. I had a promise 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 for that. Just watch. And also, you just want a team, 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.680 you can have one. How about that? You want a team? Ready? 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.080 I gotta you know, see anyway, you always welcome over here. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.560 But hey, I treat you like that. I'll treat you 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:14.960 how you deserve. I get all that. But because I'm big, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.920 I got so many things going on. That means I 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.200 gotta I gotta put down a lot of things to like, 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.960 read up on what I need to do because I 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.440 like you. I want to be good at it. If 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.320 you're a good chef, right and someone can't cook, I'm 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:29.240 just said if ye if hypothetic. Okay, If you're a 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.200 good chef and you know someone wants you to cook 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.760 for the biggest restaurant in the world, right, you go, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.360 I can't cook for a thousand people. They go, We'll 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.360 train tends, make junior chefs so they can make it. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.120 You can always make things happen, And you should never 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.560 think about the reasons why you can't. You only think 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.600 about the reasons why you can, I don't visualize they can't. Well, 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.520 that's why I stared. See, that's why I stared. My 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.880 reader the metal my metaverse. They got metaverses over there. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.240 It's it doesn't cost a dollar to dream, and in 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.880 my dream, everything it's perfect. So I don't think about 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.640 the reasons why or how tired i'm gonna be. I'm 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.920 inspired by what I do, so I'm doing it. I 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.800 don't care about. I'm gonna make sure I do everything 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.240 and be apparent every day all day. I've been able 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.040 to do it. So if I were to tell you 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.920 when I'm eighteen year old, I'm gonna be the biggest 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.000 in music independently, I'm gonna make the biggest movies, or 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:20.720 at least the best ones. I'm gonna have the biggest 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.480 clothing lines. I'm gonna do it all on my own. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.120 I got my g D. People traditionally would say I 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.320 was crazy. They all did. And unless you have a 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.720 dream that people think are crazy, then your dream is whack. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.320 I dream big, bro, and everyone around me that dreams 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.080 big that I've taught the dream big. You're reading a 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.840 bottom in force, but billions next to their names, those 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.280 are my students. Well, I'm out a little nick because 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:44.800 I want to be next to my name. And I 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.560 ain't just talking about boss me neither, Okay, But I'm 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.680 have a billion dollars worth of love, and my culture 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.840 is gonna eat, not only meet, and I'm gonna toast 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.120 to my culture and all of us being rich and 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.720 being treated with respect, never having to fit in. I 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.200 could hear about it. I want to do something about it. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.960 We hear a lot about Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.040 You got Dame Studios and Dame that students. Yeah, out 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:15.399 here in Burbank, right, have another drink, salute now, I 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:20.480 was trying to get another vodka in arms. I can't 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.040 be a one hit a quitter. You can't get you know. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.680 You partner with Fox Solow. So what type of shows 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.040 are you trying to produce out of your studio. It's 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.440 called d programming and things like entertainment is usually made 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.720 to distract us from the oppression, you know, make us 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:43.920 visualize things that can't happen, you know, And my programming 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.280 is to make us focus. It's about real wealth. So 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.160 this programming like health is wealth showing how you eat. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.560 This programming and called healing his gangster therapy. There's movies, right, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.280 there's I'm part of something called the OSG one hundred 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.600 and thirty Black Principles, and you know that are fighting 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.320 for us when no one's looking, and I'm showcasing them. 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.119 So they have their programming or what's g programming? I 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.200 got uh programming like Forbidden Knowledge with Billy Carson talking 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.760 about the and the knakis and the things they don't 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.920 teach us that are an ancient text. We have the music, 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.040 the blue rock music. Basically have everything, you know, doctor series. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.760 We have everything. So you do you do sitcoms everything, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.359 and on my app you can go to my app 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.560 while you're watching it you can buy it. So we 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.160 do movies. We do everything like you know. That's why 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.719 you see when I came in, I'm like, you know, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.120 to me, thank you. When I look at what kind 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:43.840 of cameras it though, huh uh huh. How many cameras 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.600 you got? We got a nice little operation, we got 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.040 fall camp. You got one slide I see, and you 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.719 have a set, yeah, and this is a set, So 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:56.000 why not do some scripted for the same money you're 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.480 sitting down talking. That's what I learned from having a student. 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.280 I'm like, yo, for the same fucking money, I could 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.439 do well. You could do a lot of things scripted. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.720 Scripted gives you residual income, right, And that's what it's about, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.480 making money while you're sitting by the pool. See that's 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.000 the problem. Like you know, sometimes trying to lure my 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.400 crew away. No, I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.240 to tell you what they do with your crew. I'll 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.960 do it with you if you weren't. You give me 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.200 all these pros. What if some of the cons they 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.199 gotta be, they gotta be. No, the cons is you 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.479 don't try, and you wonder what would have happened if 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.239 you did your whole life and nothing comes true. So 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.879 there has never been a venture that you should slat 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.240 out to do that didn't come through, didn't come through 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.000 fru wishing. I learned that they don't sometimes come through 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.680 the timing and which I want them to. But the experience, 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.840 like you know, I sold oil, I've done all that stuff. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.879 It was just to see what it was like for me. 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.760 Experience is the wind, right, you can't smoke. Experience is 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.879 the wind. You know what I'm saying. So you know 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:58.200 I made my dreams come true when I was young. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.720 I was like a hip hop mogul before I was 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.920 told five, so I hadn't needed more ship to do. 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.520 It's just everything I visualized in my head. I usually 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.159 end up doing my version of it. I don't want 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.640 to do what everyone else's version of it, because then 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.119 they have to get somebody else's money, be told what 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.640 they do. My version of my dreams is doing it myself, 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.359 being completely independent and always being able to stand behind 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.360 my point of view fearlessly and unapologetically. Right. So why 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.240
