I forget about this movie because because listen, 68 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: because listen, there is a debate. Yea. The debate is 69 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: probably just me, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you a baby 70 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: or not. That's only he's been the only person was 71 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: presented this to me non stop, and I'm telling him 72 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: not stop. Nor I wasn't Hardball. Was in a movie 73 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: Hardball when I was classic movie. Bro, you can't come classic, 74 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: Come on classic. I was not in there as an actor. 75 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 1: If I was, you know, aspiring to entertainment that shoot 76 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: you down. In the project, I was ranked in the 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: state for baseball, so they brought me in my my 78 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: my school actually had auditions for the movie. My principal 79 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: during the summer called me, I'm thinking I'm in trouble. 80 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: During sometimes she called me like, yo, you have an audition. 81 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: It's an audition up here for a baseball movie. A 82 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: baseball man. I'm gonna pull up. I pull up. They 83 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: loved me horrible, went through yere and as I met 84 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Mike and all those dudes. Um, but that was my 85 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: first glimpse I guess of being an entertainment, But I 86 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: never had really wanted to be like in front of 87 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: the camera or like that wasn't really what I was 88 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: aspiring to do. Is that why you didn't talk in 89 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: the movie? No, I didn't talk because I wasn't casting 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: for that any when I was there. You know what 91 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I end up getting paid. I end up 92 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: getting paid more than most of the actors though, because 93 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: of Illinois state labor laws stated that if I were 94 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: I was on the main team. So if you worked 95 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: the same amount of time, you got paid the same amount. 96 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: And then I didn't have an agent or manager, so 97 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: actually was being paid more and low key. They hated it, 98 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: the kids to the audition, but the movie I hated 99 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: so like it was a weird but me and speaking, 100 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm over here accounting money and y'all keep that up. 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: Uh No, but that was my first time being in 102 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: a part of the industry, a glimpse of the industry. 103 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: I thought it was cooling things, you know what I'm saying. 104 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: I always heard you have a big personality, you should 105 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: do things, But I never really aspired for that. Uh 106 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: Speeding back up after high school, went to Morgan State. 107 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: Was there for a year. Was like around music.

And then 169 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: when it made a little small plan back home in 170 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: Chicago for myself so I can get back out here, 171 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: and got back out here and just hustle, hustle when 172 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: I was first older you at this point, when I 173 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: first moved here in nine then when I like really 174 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: started to like at least be able to provide for 175 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: myself out here, maybe twenty one, Like my first two 176 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: years out here, didn't have a car. It's like really 177 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: like hustling, like just you know, I would work a 178 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: room and ship. People thought like I had more going 179 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: on to me than I did, but I definitely didn't. 180 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: That's that's the thing too write, because we have these 181 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: conversations about the grind and about because everybody thinks, like 182 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna move there. It's gonna be cracking as 183 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: soon as I get there. They're gonna see my talent. 184 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: And you walk in the room and everybody's talented for sure, 185 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: and everybody already knows each other and everybody has their 186 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: their relationships, and you kind of gotta play catch up 187 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,119 Speaker 1: in that in that whole process. And people don't understand 188 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: the moving back home. Some people never come back at all. Right, 189 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: it's a different type of it's a different type of 190 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: humility to sleep on someone's couch, for sure, when you're 191 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: just trying to be in that room and trying to 192 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: figure it out because you're you're so focused on your career. 193 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: And I think that part gets bypassed so much in 194 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: the conversations that people have about the journey, about what 195 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: it took to get to these spaces. If you want 196 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: to speak about R and B. I was out here 197 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: for lage. You know what I'm saying. I was out here.

Rancho Cucamonga and traffic about 215 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: an hour and a half. Uncle he was the king, 216 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: He was the king before I got there. He was 217 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: the caing before I got there. His his vibe kind 218 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: of dwindled down. And I kind of went in there 219 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: and and and took over. But I had to get 220 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: I had to get to an affordable space, for sure, 221 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: because my my paper had ran out and I didn't 222 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: have a car, so I didn't have a car that 223 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, carry went bad on me. So I had 224 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: rented a Lincoln town Car. And then money was getting real, 225 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: real lough. So it was to the point where I 226 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: was putting gas in the tank from changing the ash 227 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: tray while they were looking for their rental car. Hey man, 228 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: when you're gonna bring that back, I'm gonna hole at you. Okay, 229 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: so we need that car back. He thought it was 230 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: a library, But you have a dolphin rental. Come find me, actually, 231 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: come find me if you want. They never did, never did, 232 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: because I rented it out. I rented it out this 233 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: way and we took it to ranch. That's all you 234 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: gotta do. He stole a car, he didn't still, I 235 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: eventually gave it back. I followed it, and then the 236 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: old street deal Um and Wane of the Fast cousins 237 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: and got me a uh and got me an escalad 238 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: x T. And then and then my my uncle who 239 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: was fresh out of prison. I moved him into and 240 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: he stole. It's a lot of stuff that goes into that. 241 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: But all this to say is the move back is 242 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: real when you're trying to figure it out. And I 243 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: thought about that.

Then when I came 252 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: back out here though, end up putting together a plan.

But music is something that like 375 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: I love man, it's like the reason I moved out here. 376 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, I'm something today, so it's not one to revisit, 377 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: didn't know how, But just being around R and B. 378 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: For me, I come from a place where R and 379 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: B is cherished. Chicago is super People don't notice. I noticed. Yea, 380 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: your mother is a preacher. She is a preacher. So 381 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: that's R and B is a get Yeah. Yeah, for 382 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: sure in the pot it starts there, so I mean, 383 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 1: you know, growing up in that type of household, it's 384 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: kind of you get back to that at some point 385 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean when you think about vocalists, when 386 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: you think about R and B, like I think about, 387 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: it starts in the church. I think about some of 388 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: the best vocalists in the world, people I really think 389 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: are the criminal crop come from the church. So for me, yeah, 390 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: coming from that, I think you're just around real musicality, 391 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: around real life things that you're like cool. And then 392 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: also being from Chicago again, you know it's the home 393 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: of rob Um, but also you know Twister anybody else 394 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: that comes from there and their DNA anything in that DNA, 395 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: that music is gonna be RB. It's gonna be so 396 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna start with that, do you feel like and 397 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: because the church connection, I mean I have the same 398 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: church connection. How did your mother receive like your movements? 399 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: You know what I mean in terms of you being 400 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: out here in Hollywood and and the steps and you know, 401 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of access, there are a lot 402 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: of things that are a lot of moving parts. I 403 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: think everybody's parents can act the same until you t 404 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: have all of it, until you make a little money 405 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: and you tive off the money and they're like, oh, 406 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: you made a little money until you time you you 407 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: know what the Lord is really using you out?

Like it's like, what are we talking about? Confessions? 573 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 1: The greatest period I love. I'd be like liking, uh, 574 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: is it? Is it? In my own words, I'm trying 575 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: think Neo's album, the first one? What was that ship? 576 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: What was it called? Yes, it's something very similar to 577 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: my own words, in my words or something like that, 578 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 1: my own words, it might be first album is amazing, 579 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: but it's certain. I mean those are still those are 580 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: not necessarily you know, throughout history for me, albums for 581 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: me like, yeah, it used to really be like this 582 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: album is incredible. Yeah, like this album isn't. Yeah, it 583 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: makes you feel something for sure. I can go back 584 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: to all those albums too and still play. That's important. 585 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: It's very important. And I think with R and B 586 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: because R and B is so timeless a rap, you know, 587 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: it kind of goes up in the air here and there. 588 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're like really going back and playing some ship. 589 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: But at R and B, like, I believe you should 590 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: be able. It is the core of so many other 591 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: genres that I believe you should be able to go 592 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: back and still listen and be like this shill. I 593 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: mean I listened to old Yeah records. You're like, yea 594 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: from this still go still feel good. Yeah, we're gonna 595 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: get to that too, because we want to get to 596 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: something I heard earlier.

Okay, 650 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: so Chicago, right, yeah, now we're here, Yeah, we're here, 651 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: give us the juke scene the footwork like right, because 652 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: every now it's like everybody who taps into Chicago that 653 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: don't know just everybody thinks it's just drill music. But 654 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: that's you know, now it's drill people that really know 655 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: Chicago is like the taste of Chicago, the food, right, 656 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: But then the dancing, right, I had to experience it 657 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: myself and see it. Always make jokes about it because 658 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't do it. Yeah, it's the funniest in the 659 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: world to me, but I can't do the ship right. 660 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: Break that down to it though, because Jack, like Tank, 661 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: we both juking and footworking pretty the same thing. I Mean, 662 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: you could be like, I'm going to a juke party, 663 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: but juke in itself was like when a girl was 664 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: dancing on you, she juking on you, and that well, 665 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: that ship just juking. That party of juke. That just 666 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: means like a certain dance as a certain dance, footworking 667 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: is completely different. It's moving your feet, then you got 668 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: like um bobbing. It's a whole bunch of different dances. 669 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: I think. Also what people not realizing is that the 670 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: biggest rap dance record of all times comes from Chicago, 671 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: of all time, Slide from cash Man, uh he from Chicago. 672 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: Cass was one of the original rap like innovators and 673 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: stuff like during the African and bottom days. He was 674 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: an early rap pie and then for Chicago and then 675 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: yeah he you know, he has a little movement and 676 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: stuff back in the day, but his biggest record, obviously 677 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: Cass was like yea, So like yeah, dance itself has 678 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: always been within the culture. Like you go to different 679 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: cities and everybody not necessarily dancing every city you go 680 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: to or different you know what I'm saying. Bottimore got 681 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 1: some good club music, New Jersey, New York, different places 682 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: you go. It might be the Oakland might be dancing, 683 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: but like certain other places, you know, people just be 684 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: chilling the walls or be in the club scene. In Chicago. 685 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: Choice cities that actually have dancing places, right like the 686 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: Bay like you said, we got we got the hype 687 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: movement that l a. There's more towards the gang culture, 688 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: but it's still dancing, you know what I mean, Like 689 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: it's it's still that in Chicago. Has so is that 690 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: connected to the streets like that too, dars? No, is 691 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: it just now you could like it was probably if anything, 692 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: like you had your groups like house rest is probably 693 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: a way to stay out of the streets. Gonna be 694 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: a buck with you. Like dancing were just parties. You 695 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: would go to basing parties and stuff and everybody to 696 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: be dancing. Street ning is definitely dance because well, I 697 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: think it's funny in certain cities you could definitely be around. 698 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: Definitely did. Yeah. Also in New York train things at 699 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: the best knees right now in the world. That's the ship. 700 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 1: It's not getting started, yea. Yeah. But it's like also 701 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: like the thought of Nigga's doing a full hearing that 702 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: bit out beyond me.
