00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: in the day, like a hip hop's been around. I

157
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: was chilling with the and she was vibe. But now

158
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: it's like you know that on chilling, You know that

159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: on vibe, you know it don't slide. You know that

160
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: we drinking. It's a different vibe right, So cat William

161
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: Cadence was already there.

162
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: That's why Pipp and Pipping.

163
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: So I took some of that, like because before I

164
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: did my special, me and Trevor Noore got we had

165
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: the same manager and he called me. He say, oh

166
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: here manager there was like Wayne, make sure you slow

167
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: down and you're special because I say I did it

168
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: that way, but I looked at it. I did this

169
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: the other way because it's the beats. So I just

170
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: think it's different times for different folks. But some people

171
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: timing was already there, like Edi Murfy already talked like

172
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: that in the movies.

173
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: What you doing? What you're talking about?

174
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: Men?

175
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So it's just some people.

176
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: And I just think it's a different time for different folks.

177
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: But I think every I think all I think every comedian.

178
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I think every comedian funny, even Phase on Love. You're

179
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: still funning to me. You know what I'm saying. Now,

180
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: if I was, if I with the comedy show, you

181
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: want my type to go to, but you're still funding me.

182
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: I can see why people think you funny. I got

183
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: a cousin act like that. You see it in everybody,

184
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: But you know, it's different strokes for different folks. When

185
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: they come to comedy, Bro comedy the most. They tell

186
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: you it's the hardest art, but they get judged the

187
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: most because people think just because something ain't funny to them,

188
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't like it twiter a Taylor Swift song. Come on,

189
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 2: people like I don't like that? Well, Lema tell you something.

190
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people who do.

191
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: They l they don't like it, they love it, you know.

192
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I tell face on Love it's a lot of people

193
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: that don't like.

194
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: Him cause he's probably selling the least out of everybody.

195
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: I know them.

196
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: Come to club prices, buddy, and you still live them.

197
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,480

Speaker 2: make more money than I made a year before, and

256
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: I'm always bigger. And it ain't too many comedians could go

257
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: on tour by theyself and sell out of theater without

258
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,040

00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

262
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: And that's what they finna find out about. They don't

263
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: play them games, you know what I'm saying. I'm just

264
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm here. I'm here to work, bless the people, bless

265
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: my family, and I don't really play like that.

266
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Man, you don't curse in your stand up? Do you

267
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: curse at home?

268
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: My kid got all my curse words, they got them

269
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: stuck in them. But you know, I don't really curse.

270
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: I don't really curse at home because I practice it

271
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: so much in my comedy that it just I naturally

272
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: now just don't curse that much.

273
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I say it didn't really curse. He

274
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: started to He cursed added a little thirst to its might.

275
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: When I get old, I'm probably when I get old,

276
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna cuts the hell out on this. Dad,

277
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start cursing, souse. They gonna make me curse

278
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: in a minute. I'm gonna start, I say, when I

279
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: get older, man, I'm gonna start. I'm probably gonna start

280
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: letting the lose. Do you uh? Do you have a

281
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: worry about getting canceled?

282
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Nah? Man, cause I ain't scared to lose at all.

283
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

284
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I lost my mama, so I ain't scared to lose

285
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: his money of this thing. So that's why I think

286
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: it always rides because whatever you fear gonna happen. So

287
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: I'm like, how you gonna cancel me and my father's God? Wow,

288
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, how if God is my daddy, how can

289
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: you control my destiny? If you cancel me for something

290
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: that means I wasn't supposed to go over there anyway.

291
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not I don't.

292
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: I don't fear that because then I'll be trying to

293
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: dodge everything. Right now, I don't fear none of that

294
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: because this is the way that This ain't what feeds me.

295
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: This is what's God using to feed me, right, So

296
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: if you take this away, I'd be having I'd be

297
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: building fireplace grills.

298
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: They beat the number one five. I don't.

299
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't did a lot of things right, and God

470
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: a three years age gap between me and my little sister. Okay,

471
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,440

478
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,240

00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: needed to, like, Okay, I need to be the man

480
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,560

00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 4: was naturally like a protector type. Shit, yeah for sure.

484
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: So what did your mom? What did your mom think

485
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: about that? So the type of relationship because like you said,

Speaker 1: you're the oldest, your mom is a new in a

487
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: new place, and granted they're a community that came with you,

490
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: my brother and my sister. Did your mom tell you

491
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: anything about that or you just instinctively took that on?

492
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: I think it was just like instinct for the most part.

493
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like it's just in my

494
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 4: personality too, like just like take care of everything. I

495
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 4: don't know why I'm like that, but I think just naturally,

496
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 4: like I developed that because like my whole life, I've

497
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: been like that, like since I was old enough to

498
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 4: like get out and do what I need to do.

499
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: I always like took care of my mama and my

500
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: siblings and shit, right, yeah, do.

501
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: You feel that? So when you were in London, do

502
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: you remember much about your dad being around? Yeah?

503
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: I remember my daddy used to come get me like

504
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 4: every weekend. I used to be over there because that's like, well,

505
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: majority of like my cousins was that right? On my

506
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: Mama's side, I only got like like three folk cousins,

507
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: But on my Daddy's side, it's like thirty of them, right.

508
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: So that's like like my oldest cousin, Taran, he in

509
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 4: the wheelchair, I remember like following behind him a lot, right,

510
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: I feel what I'm saying. So that's my Daddy's side, right.

511
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: So you so, in other words, you really love spending

512
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: time with your dad's side of the family because that's

513
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: where all the cousins were. That's where you got an

514
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to run and play and just have a good time.

515
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 4: It was just deeper deep. But my mama side too,

516
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 4: because like my cousins on my mama's side was bad

517
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: as hell too, you see what I'm saying. But it

520
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: boys on my mama side. On my Daddy's side, it

521
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: was more, but it's just different side.

522
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: Well, see, if it's only three of y'all, the trouble

523
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: is only going three places. So you, you and you,

524
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,840

Speaker 4: I used to be outside, so I don't remember like

544
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: hers is. Like the only time it'll be a problem

545
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,240

546
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 4: other than that, like, I wasn't liked when of them

547
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: when the street light come on, kids like my mama

548
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: used to let me figure it out because in London

549
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: it's the same ship is it's them the worse because

550
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 4: it's like concrete everywhere you see what I'm saying, it's alleys,

551
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: its inner city. So in London I used to be

552
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 4: outside from what I well, that was when we went

553
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 4: back though, like from before then, I don't remember being

554
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: outside that much. But so like nah, she just used

555
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 4: to let me, like, let you figure out, figure it out.

556
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: Then I used to be with Skinny Okay, well Israel

557
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: n ain't Aaron. I used to be with him, and

558
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: he was older than me, so he was like my

559
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: big brother and like, so as long as I was

560
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 4: with him, she would give me a little more freedom

561
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: to do shit, Like as long as he watching over you,

562
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 4: you good.

563
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: Did you always gravitate towards older guys? Yeah?

564
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: I always hungled like people older than me, for.

565
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: Sure, because you felt you were more mature than than

566
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: than young guys your age.

567
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, because I was older.

568
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: I had to be.

569
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: I'm the oldest, right, so you naturally like a little

570
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: more mature than you have to be because if you're not,

571
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 4: you're gonna get in trouble.

572
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,240

Speaker 1: go ahead.

580
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 4: But I remember, like when we first moved over here,

581
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: like before we moved to the neighborhood where I went

582
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: to elementary school from Okay, we would moved to another

583
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,480

587
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

588
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: We used to share, like we shared the apartment with

589
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: one of their friends. It was a two bedroom. I

590
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: remember we didne got evicted before. I remember coming home

591
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: and our stuff was outside in front of the house.

592
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: Like growing up, like I ain't never had my own bedroom.

593
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 4: So I was probably like fifteen years old or something like,

594
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: we all show a room like for probably from like

595

600
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: they got a little motion, and then we moved in

601
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,440

00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah with Epic Right.

647
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my first there, it was like seventy thirty,

648
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,320

649
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: some shit.

650
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,920

652
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,440

653
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: What's your what's your what's your what's your thoughts streaming?

654
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: I think it all depends on how your deal structure,

655
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 4: because it's some money in screaming money streaming. It's just

656
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 4: about like how your deal structure and how much you

657
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: scream type shit. Well, it seemed to me to be

658
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 4: some money in it because my label be giving me

659
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: some money.

660
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I was about to say, because the way you talk,

661
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: you talking like you got a structure deal that you

662
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:24,560

00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: They gotta be making money because that giving me money. Right,

664
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 4: So it's some money in that shit, some real money

665
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: in it.

666
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about your catalog. Future sold his catalog.

667
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,920

00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Is that something you'd be interested in at some point? Yeah?

669
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,960

00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: On.

673
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: It depends how much my hustle, how I apply my hustle, right,

674
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: because shit, I might fuck around and invest in something

675
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: and become a billionaire and be able to pass my

676
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: catalog down to my kids.

677
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Might not even have to say it like that a lot, Right,

678
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:09,200

00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: to Atlanta from London or the East Side, your upbringing.

686
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that could have happened that

687
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: this didn't happen. Do you ever sit back and like, damn,

688
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm savage, all right? Yeah?

00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: On, You're still trying to grind.

00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that I would be like appreciative that I do

692
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 4: sit back and just daydreams sometimes like down this ship

693
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 4: could have went this way, this way type ship.

694
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: Had the pandemic not happened. Would the residency with Usher?

695
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Would that have happened?

696
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: It was gonna happen. Yeah, it was gonna happen.

697
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 7: We had plans for it to happen, and right as

698
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 7: we were in the process of launching, you know, I

699
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 7: think I was in France at the time, and it

700
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 7: was just this crazy outbreak came back to America and

701
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 7: then before you know, we were quarantined, you know, and

702
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 7: I've been working on music, so I've been kind of

703
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 7: ramping up to something. Rather it was new music, a

704
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 7: new tour, and we all felt like Las Vegas would

705
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 7: be an incredible reintroduction of new music also to celebrating legacy.

706
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 6: But it turned into something far, far more than that.

707
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: Man, you know, right, we're here at the No Man,

708
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, right down the hallway from where you're performing

709
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: your residency to night at Adobe Live Ye Park. MGM.

710
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: My daughter, who's flight with the Lady, wanted to be here,

711
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: but I'm bringing her tonight for a birthday. So when

712
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: you've caught a lot of flight the women me come

00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: and you.

714
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 6: Come with your daddy or come with your sugar daddy.

715
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 6: No talking about your husband a daughter.

716
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm very protective, all right, got with you girls, and

717
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm very protective of Busy, So don't be don't be

718
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: meffling around. So the criticism, I mean, you're just having

719
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: a good time. You say you got your things on.

720
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, are you surprised that you've gotten the criticism

721
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: and the blowback that you've received.

722
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 7: I don't know, man, I just know that this juncture

723
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 7: of my life is just about having you don't even care.

724
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: Now.

725
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 6: It's not that I don't cares that I want you

726
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 6: to notice.

727
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 7: I'm having fun and that is a part of me

728
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 7: having fun, being out in the audience amongst the fans

729
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 7: and also to the people, and then feeling that energy.

730
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 7: I don't remember the last time that I've been to

731
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 7: a show like that. You know, I know that we

732
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 7: all feel good when we go to Frankie Beverley and

733
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 7: we you know, we all dressing our white. We go

734
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 7: out there and we enjoy each other and you know,

735
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 7: in the aisles and have a great time. But like

736
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 7: what an artist comes out and just is amongst the people.

737
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 7: You know, this arena gave me an opportunity need to

738
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 7: be able to be closer to my fans because I've

739
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 7: been I didn't put out an album in almost six years, right,

740
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 7: so now being able to reconnect in that way, you know,

741
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 7: obviously it spun into something that became. It gave me

742
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 7: a new title. Yeah, I think Charlemagne the God named

743
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 7: me like the domestic Terrorist. I'm like, bro, I'm just

744
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 7: this is this is actually an usher show.

745
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Right what you said you can feel the energy. You

746
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: can't feel the energy for them husbands and the boyfriend

747
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: and giving you the eve a lot like you need

748
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: to back up.

749
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 6: Nah, They're actually cool. The guys that are there, you

750
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. The girls, they get a little

751
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 6: out of you. I'm just saying. But you know it's

752
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 6: don't leave your girl around me. I come with your girl.

753
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. Come with your daughter. You

754
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, bring your wife.

755
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 7: But yo, But by the way, again, it's all in

756
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 7: good fun. And then the whole purpose and point is

757
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 7: to bring that energy to Las Vegas. When I look

758
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 7: at it and I see my people, I see you know,

759
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 7: I see us doing something that I don't even felt.

760
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 6: I don't feel like it's been done here.

761
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 7: Like the black dollar is strong and Vegas man more

762
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 7: than it's ever been, and the cast, in the in

763
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 7: the crew, and.

764
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 6: The feeling of what this has built. It's been a celebration.

765
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 6: So you know, nah, I didn't.

766
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 7: I don't know if I was able to even look

767
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 7: at it as a negative. And then anything that has

768
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 7: happened in terms of the girls who came up there,

769
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 7: rather it was the recipe insign or.

770
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Keiki you know Palmer.

771
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: Or you know that woman had just had a baby

772
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: and she would.

773
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 6: I mean, she wanted to get out and have Valdy time.

774
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

775
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 7: Should you not feel like you you know what I mean,

776
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 7: like you should get out with your girls and enjoy yourself.

777
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 6: You should, right, yes, And now you have me to

778
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 6: sit your usher.

779
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh you you are bringing them in. You taking that

780
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: lift you caught through power the you know the ushers

781
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: help you to the chair five.

782
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 6: I'm ushering you to a good time. But you know

783
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, come have a good.

784
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: Time with me. No, but working out, yeah, man. I

785
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: talked to Steve Stout yesterday and he said that when

786
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: you getting ready for a show, that you would train

787
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: chasing the U Haul and they're playing confessions because you

788
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: are an entertainer. You're not just sitting on the stool singing.

789
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: You're moving and your every word and your dance and

790
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: you're doing all these dance moves. Broa, How are you

791
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: able to do this night in and night out? But

792
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: you still got them twenty year old knees?

793
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, man. It's like the conditioning. There's no

794
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 6: different than you know, football, you know what I mean, you.

795
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 7: Got to really have the you know, you gotta have

796
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 7: a core, right, you got to make certain that you

797
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 7: can sing and dance. So part of my moving and

798
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 7: singing and running and doing some of these things that

799
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 7: are probably not a part of the you know, the

800
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 7: build of artists. You know, that type of artist development

801
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 7: is something that I learned. I learned from a guy

802
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 7: by the name of aj Alexander, the guy who actually

803
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 7: discovered me, who was Bobby Brown's bodyguard. Right, So as

804
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 7: a kid, he had his kids in Atlanta, right, and

805
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 7: this was our training, Like it was like boot camp.

806
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 7: Singing wasn't just like oh, we're gonna get out here

807
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 7: and just jam and sing the girls and now you

808
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 7: gotta like he was like putting us through straight boot camp.

809
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: So you had to learn why you had learned to

810
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: sing while you're tired because you're running, and like you said,

811
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: it's boot camp.

812
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 7: But I just think that that generation of entertainment, it

813
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 7: was different, you know what I'm saying. And I'd been

814
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 7: in a group before, and we as a group, you know,

815
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 7: we worked in the same way.

816
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

817
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 7: We played basketball, you know what I'm saying, that we

818
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 7: got our wind up, or when we were working, we

819
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 7: would sing and dance and move around. Here would have

820
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 7: us running and singing all of that kind of stuff

821
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 7: that wasn't uncommon.

822
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 6: That's not an uncommon thing. If you consider.

823
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 7: Yourself an artist, right as part of artist development, if

824
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 7: you want to be able to get out there sing,

825
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 7: dance and I miss a beat, be on key, that's

826
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 7: the type of work that you got to do.

827
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: Right.

828
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned you're born in You're in Chattanooga. You moved

829
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: to Atlanta at a very very young age and said

830
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: your mom. I read where you said your mom like

831
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of quit what she was doing to devote all

832
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: of her attention to you. And you said your mom

833
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: was like kind of hard on you and making sure

834
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: that's what you wanted where do you? Where are your stance?

835
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: Because we see Richard being in Serena. Richard Williams's very

836
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: hard on them. We see Tiger story, his dad was

837
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: hard on him. And then I see Dwight Howard trying

838
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: to push your son and he gets blowback. So where's Usher?

839
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: If your kids? How are you going to be with

840
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: your son? You say, you got a son that's playing basketball? Now,

841
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: how's Usher the parent? Given where he came from, knowing

842
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: what he knows, how's he going to be? Man?

843
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 7: I deal with the same you know, issues that any

844
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 7: parent deals with kids who are influenced by you know,

845
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 7: the things that they see, the things that they get into.

846
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 6: But the one thing that I do is care for

847
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 6: my kids.

848
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 7: Right I view disciplinary you know, you know kind of

849
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 7: measures as something that is preparing your kids, especially black kids,

850
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 7: for you know, the reality of the world that they're

851
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 7: living in. You know, I hold you to a higher standard.

852
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 7: You know, I personally hold you to a higher standard

853
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 7: because I know what work it takes to be great

854
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 7: and for parents who do that, you know, look at

855
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 7: the evidence, look at the incredible you know artists, the

856
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 7: incredible athletes that were creating in that moment. This generation

857
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 7: may not necessarily have the same respect. But God bless

858
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 7: the coaches that we have. God bless the mentors and

859
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 7: stuff that we have that motivate our kids, because it

860
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 7: almost puts this pressure on parents to not be parents. Nah,

861
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 7: that's it's a hard dynamic, especially if you come from

862
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 7: an industry where you know what it takes to not

863
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 7: naturally kick into that mode and say, oh, if you

864
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 7: want to do something, you want to play basketball, you

865
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 7: got to run at a certain rate.

866
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 6: I'm gonna push you. If you really want to do this,

867
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: you got to show me you're gonna show up on time.

868
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: You ain't on time. Gimme push ups right now?

869
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: What?

870
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, gimme push ups, Run these laps, run these suicides

871
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 6: right now?

872
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: You serious?

873
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: Dad?

874
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? For real?

875
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 6: And I'm not playing.

876
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 7: And if I catch you, get if I get there

877
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 7: before you do, you're gonna give me one hundred extra

878
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 7: push ups.

879
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

880
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 7: That's that's just the nature of the you know, the

881
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 7: animal that is inside of who we are as as

882
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 7: I don't know, man, and as as entertainers, as athletes.

883
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 4: You know.

884
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 7: So I don't I don't I don't look at any

885
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 7: of that kind of disciplinary kind of measure as bad.

886
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 6: I do think it's equally important to talk to your kids.

887
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 7: Okay, if you're gonna push them that way, then you

888
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 7: gotta love on them just as much.

889
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: You gotta explain to them why you push it.

890
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 4: There, you go, that's right.

891
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 6: They got to know that. Yo, my dad's gonna push

892
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 6: me to be great.

893
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 7: My dad's gonna talk to me as well and help

894
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 7: me understand why he's pushing me the way.

895
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 6: That is.

896
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: But how is that because you have to understand you're

897
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: in a totally different situation than what they are. Your

898
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: mom didn't have it like your kids dad has it right,

899
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: So they're looking because you're like, man, I got to

900
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: get my I gotta get my mom out of this

901
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: situation I want to have. Will your kids come home.

902
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: They got a six car garage, they got twenty five

903
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: thousand square feet, they got manny, they got made, they

904
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: got chef, they got they got all that.

905
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: That is.

906
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 7: That is a harsh reality, which is more of the

907
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 7: reason why you gotta be hard on them. But mindful

908
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 7: that they're normal is different than our normal, right, and

909
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 7: the access that they have is greater and grander and

910
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 7: the expectation.

911
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: Is actually higher.

912
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 7: That's the one thing that I have empathy for my children,

913
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 7: especially the ones you know that you know, I named

914
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 7: my son Usher, so every time he's out, obviously there's

915
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 7: that pressure. You know, I've even battled at times. You know,

916
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 7: my kids sometimes they don't want me to come. They

917
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 7: don't want me to be at the you know, that

918
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 7: basketball game, or they're recital, or they want to be

919
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 7: very very low key because they don't want that energy.

920
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 7: They don't want our dad walked in the room and

921
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 7: took you know.

922
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: All their focus off of me.

923
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's hard because I tried my hardest to

924
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 7: have that empathy.

925
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 6: But I want to be there.

926
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying countless times being able to

927
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 7: just sit at the back of the room quiet. You

928
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying is keep myself as small as

929
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 7: possible and to be as quiet as I possibly can. Yeah, man, Yeah,

930
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 7: but it's it is if you're right like that, that

931
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 7: access and that reality that they're looking at. It gives

932
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 7: them some expectation and unfortunately I can't take it back.

933
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, Like I walked so that

934
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 7: we could ride, you know what I'm saying, and now

935
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 7: that you're riding, you know, I want you to understand

936
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 7: the importance of walking.

937
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: Did you always at the age of ten, eleven and

938
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: twelve you're on star search, did you always know you wanted.

939
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: To be this?

940
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: Well?

941
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 6: Which part of this do you mean?

942
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: Right? Because the guy that's sitting across from me, that's

943
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: internationally known that goals and sells out every concert, the

944
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: guy that's almost at one hundred shows at a residency,

945
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: the guy that's during the halftime show one of the

946
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: king of R.

947
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 7: And B this, thank you very much, But let me

948
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 7: give you a little clarity. Okay, Okay, No, I don't

949
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 7: know if I I don't know if I was prepared

950
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 7: for any of it, but I know that I was

951
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 7: dedicated enough to stick to it until something happened, and

952
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 7: then something that I didn't expect happen.

953
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 6: To become a.

954
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 7: Businessman, to then understand entrepreneurship, to understand philanthropy, to understand empathy,

955
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 7: to begin to understand.

956
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 6: The other side of it, I wouldn't prepare for that.

957
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 7: I knew that if I set my mind to anything,

958
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 7: the affirmation of me once saying it and actually making

959
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 7: it happen.

960
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: It.

961
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 6: Willing it to happen was something that I was committed

962
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 6: to as a kid.

963
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 3: Yo.

964
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 7: I walked around and my mother used to tell me

965
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 7: all the time, you need to stop telling people that

966
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 7: you're gonna be a big artist.

967
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 6: I'm like, why, that's what.

968
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 7: I believe, is what I think about myself. If I

969
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 7: don't believe it, nobody else would.

970
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 6: But you don't have to say it. It ain't happen yet.

971
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 7: I'm like, but I wanted to, so let me just

972
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 7: get I must keep saying it until it actually, you know,

973
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 7: becomes the reality. And I'm gonna not only just say

974
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 7: it and expect somebody to give it to me. I'm

975
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 7: gonna take the long way around. I want to work

976
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 7: for it.

977
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 6: I want to be able to say I earned it,

978
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.

979
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: I remember the first time that I saw you, and

980
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: I didn't quite know who you were. I saw you

981
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: in Nike time in Phillips Plaza. Man, I just see

982
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: you in Guccia all the time, and you always sing.

983
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: I was like, man, why does dude sing it? I

984
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: be like He's like, he's like, and you were just

985
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: singing and singing and singing and I was told my sister,

986
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: I said, man, I saw this, This this is a

987
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't have been no more than like

988
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: sixty or seventeen times I said I saw this. I

989
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: saw this kid in in Nike Town and he was singing.

990
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I think I think he might be something.

991
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

992
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know if I was auditioning or

993
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 7: what I said, but I was. I was preparing for

994
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 7: my moment, you know what I'm saying. And I think

995
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 7: that that's that's the plight, you know what I'm saying.

996
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 7: To anything that you want to be great at, you

997
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 7: have to make it a you have to make it

998
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 7: a process, like it's a part of your every thought.

999
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 7: Like if you want to play basketball, you always bounce

1000
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 7: on the ball. You want to play football, you always readjusting,

1001
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 7: you always managing, you always ready and alert. You know,

1002
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 7: if you want to play sports, it's like you have

1003
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 7: to stay activated and stay active. As an artist, it's

1004
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 7: the same. And you know, I'm also too haunted by

1005
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 7: the eye idea that I had this talent, so it's

1006
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 7: naturally just coming out.

1007
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 6: It's like you can't help but just.

1008
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: Be who you are. If you had this talent, obviously

1009
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: in high school. Normally, when you have a talent, everybody's

1010
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: not as talent as as everyone else. So were they're

1011
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: hating going on it with you in high school? The

1012
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: people hate that you were so gifted because you're in

1013
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: a talent show. You win it. You know that you're

1014
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: not losing a talent show. No, So they're like then,

1015
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, okay, you won the last five talent shows.

1016
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: You're not entering this one.

1017
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 3: No.

1018
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 7: But that's what makes you great, right, the fact that

1019
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 7: you know that there's opposition. You know, if you're playing

1020
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 7: on the football team, right, you're gonna go out there.

1021
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 7: You see that you go up against some dogs. You

1022
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, You gotta go out there with

1023
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 7: a different attitude. You gotta like believe it, you gotta

00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 7: When I figured out, oh, this is really what I

1055
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 7: want to do, I think I was willing to make

1056
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 7: the sacrifices that were needed. And while I wanted to

1057

00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 7: it's great, I think more than anything. Again, there's this

1083
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 7: transition and this focus just for me, and I think

1084
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 7: it should be a focus for more artists, you know

1085
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, to really focus on the other things

1086
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 7: that these genres or Southern music and entertainment breeds. An

1087
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 7: there's an entire movement and feeling when you come to

1088
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 7: Atlanta right.

1089
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 6: Right, the world needs to know that. That's why I

1090
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 6: brought Atlanta to Las Vegas.

1091
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 7: You need to understand it no different Like you look

1092
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 7: at Circaso Late and all of those shows, right, they

1093
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 7: celebrate their culture.

1094
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 6: Whether it's in Spain or wherever it is. Our culture

1095
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 6: is the same. It might not be marketed the same,

1096
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 6: it might not.

1097
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 7: Feel because it's culture, but all cultural things eventually becomes

1098
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 7: something that's commercial. And I wanted the world to be

1099
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 7: able to see and celebrate who we are, how we

1100
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 7: get out, what.

1101
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 6: Our music feels like, what our energy is, what our

1102
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 6: experience is.

1103
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, I am bringing my daughter to tonight, so

1104
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: if you would like, you know a song that's appropriate

1105
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: for someone her age is in the thirties. I'm not here,

1106
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: don'ton't really tell you exactly how old she is.

1107
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 6: But she's not married.

1108
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: She's not married.

1109
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 7: Okay, cool, I'm customering, you know, I'm customizing this moment.

1110
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: The one comedian we've been sitting here doing this interview

1111
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: that you're holding very high. Regardless, Dave Papelle, Dave Papel

1112
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: walked away from fifty million. You said it was more

1113
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,320

1114
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:45,560

Speaker 3: You really are the best. You're proving it here today

1116
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,040

1118
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,400

00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 3: he lost fifty million dollars. No, No, that's not even

1120
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: close to what happened to this dude. And until you

1121
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: understand what happened to the dude, you don't understand what happened. Like, no, not.

1122
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: They offered him fifty million, and he turned it down.

1123
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 3: Who's gonna turn down fifty million? Now I've had to

1124
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: turn down fifty million dollars four times, four times, just

1125
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 3: to protect my integrity and that virgin hole. I was

Speaker 3: there's nigga want me to get an ad dress with him?

1150
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: And I'm literally saying, everybody, why is he in a

1151
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 3: dress again? You already played the old lady as a

1154
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,040

1160
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: the other dude's work.

1161
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: I had all of it.

1162
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 3: All I did was say, I want to punch it

1163
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 3: up so it's not offensive to real niggas. And that's

1164
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 3: how I got in this position.

1165
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: I sure hope I have a club chah after this ere.

00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 3: gonna be the greatest thing cloting no way in a

1168
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 3: in a whole different realm of business. Oprah coming next.

1169
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: Once I established this as a place of truth, Oh yeah,

1170
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: watch watch God's people ain't that few.

1171
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but Taraji p

1172
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: Henson got extremely emotional the other day. She was giving

1173
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: an interview, yes and saying that they're vastly underpaid. They

1174
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: say the math is not mathing. They get X amount

1175
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: of dollars by the time Uncle Sam get his cut,

1176
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: by the time the agency get their cut. And what

1177
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: you see, they were supposed to get it's a fir.

1178
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: Where do you come down on that cat?

1179
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 3: It was the saddest thing ever, because imagine imagine being

1180
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: in your genre and your subniche, whatever it is. Imagine

1181
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 3: being in your lane. Imagine being one of the very

1182
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 3: top of your lane. That to the point where if

1183
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 3: they don't take you for the role, there's not three

1184
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 3: black actresses that they can say are bigger than you,

1185
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 3: that we're gonna give this to. Imagine you being at

1186
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 3: that point. I have to humble yourself and say they're

1187
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 3: not paying me, y'all, and they not making my pay

1188
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 3: go up because I'm doing better or nothing. It don't

1189
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 3: matter to them that I'm famous and people know me

1190
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 3: or nothing. They want to pay me exactly what they

1191
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 3: paying the new girl. And I've been suffering under it

1192
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: for a decade now and just taking it. I've just

1193
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: been getting whooped. But I just gotta come say this

1194
00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 3: is wrong. Oh we should be ashamed. But this is

1195
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: a country where we don't pay the teachers. And then

1196
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: we say the kids is the most important thing. You

1197
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 3: can't have both of them. If you do that, we're

1198
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,959
Speaker 3: gonna end up with a generation that can't read. Guess

1199
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 3: what generation Z and A can't read why because who

1200
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 3: was giving them a book? We got lied bad or

1201
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 3: phone and now the letters don't mean that there's no

1202
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 3: cursive writing. Sorry about that. So yeah, this is what

1203
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 3: period of time it's in. It's the period where the

1204
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: victims get to say they've been hurting me for a

1205
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 3: long time, and I just ain't said nothing because I

1206
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 3: was trying to be strong and I didn't want to

1207
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 3: shame anybody. When our people call out for help, we

1208
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: gotta understand, you know what I mean, Like like we

1209
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 3: put too much pressure on Tyler Perry. You know what

1210
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean. He ain't putting nobody on the people that

1211
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 3: been in his productions. They not famous, all of them

1212
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 3: can walk through them all without security.

1213
00:53:59,080 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: Be what you're gonna be.

1214
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 3: Put your people on. If you a gay person and

1215
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 3: you in there, put some other gay people on, put

1216
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 3: somebody on, or don't be wondering why people keep saying gatekeepers,

1217
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 3: because clearly y'all keeping these gates. Clearly. My goal was

1218
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 3: to get this far in Hollywood and still have a

1219
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 3: virgin asshole and never had sucked the penis. That was

1220
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 3: my only goal. I didn't want to get with a

1221
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: white woman because I was scared she might have me

1222
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 3: running down the street like Jonathan. Not because I didn't

1223
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 3: like white women. I think white women are as great

1224
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: as any other women. But I'm not gonna act like

1225
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm not scared of them. I have a reason to

1226
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 3: be scared. You could be king the conqueror and they

1227
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: could take your rebbit ass down in two weekndns. And

1228
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 3: that's the truth of the matter. So I say it

1229
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: away from that.

1230
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: Did you see Jonathan Major what he went through? Marble

1231
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: dropped in me as soon as they're guilty, the conviction

1232
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: came out, and you were telling you.

1233
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,160

00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,960

1237
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 3: Awful, guilty, guilty, guilty. She came in that was just

1238
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,719

1240
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: So Matt, right, you know you know him from wildern Out.

1241
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: He gets captuled for a time trying to tell it.

1242
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 3: I never knew him from wilding Out. To be honest,

1243
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 3: I came across him as a new comic, and yeah,

1244
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 3: I'm really just trying to see the comics judge where

1245
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 3: they are seed. Yeah, right, go.

1246
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: Ahead, wild'n Out? How difficult was it for Nick Kennon

1247
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: to get you on? And what what was that really?

1248
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: What was that experience?

1249
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 3: Like, I've known Nick Cannon since he was a teenager.

1250
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 3: He had to have his he in the comedy club.

1251
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 3: If you're under age, you can't be in the regular club.

1252
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 3: You had to be in the kitchen. So I was

1253
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 3: the master of the kitchen every comedy place because I

1254
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 3: got a child, and my child is back here in

1255
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 3: this place while I go on stage. So I've known

1256
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 3: Nick Cannon since he was fourteen. Nick Cannon has never

1257
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 3: called and asked me to do one single thing, and

1258
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 3: I turned him down because I've known him since he

1259
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 3: was a young black child in Hollywood.

1260
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 4: Wow.

1261
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 3: So what I did in wild'n Out was to be

1262
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 3: his protector and to be his voice with hip hop.

1263
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 3: So the whole thing was the thing that he was

1264
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 3: trying to do had never been done before. You can't

1265
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 3: bring six comics in unless six comics talk shit about

1266
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 3: six rappers, because the six rappers will beat the six comics. Ass.

1267
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 3: You would have to have a comic that could actually

1268
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 3: stand in between and go, look, we comics. We gonna

1269
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 3: say when we're gonna say, y'all gonna take it and

1270
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: understand it's a joke. If you want to fight, we

1271
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: fight before the show, so you can go out there

1272
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 3: with your black eye and we're not gonna do it comedically.

1273
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: This is what needed to take place in order to

1274
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 3: be for it to be successful, which is why it

1275
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 3: had already aired and didn't work, and then suddenly when

1276
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 3: it comes back with me, it suddenly works because respect

1277
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: has to be in there as well. If you're trying

1278
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 3: to do it with Kevin Hart, you and him gonna

1279
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 3: get run over. You you're a teenager, he five too, Like,

1280
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen?

1281
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever spent time in jail?

1282
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 4: Thirty times?

1283
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: When you was in there? What was going through your mind? Can?

1284
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: What did?

1285
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 3: What?

1286
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: Did I mean? Some people like man have an opportunity

1287
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: to reflect, and I was like, man, this ain't the

1288
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: place with me. I ain't coming back here when you

1289
00:57:59,160 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: so what I've.

1290
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 3: Never I've never been in jail, and it was my

1291
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 3: decision to be there. If it's dangerous to be in

1292
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 3: the hood and you have to have a gun on

1293
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,959
Speaker 3: you for protection, and it's either be judged by six

1294
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 3: or I mean judge by twelve or carried by six.

1295
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 3: I'm always gonna have my heater on me. So if

1296
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 3: you wanna tell me that you're gonna pull me over

1297
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 3: fifteen times looking for it, I'm gonna tell you fifteen

1298
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 3: times you gonna find it. Unfortunately, I smoke cigarettes and weed.

1299
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 3: If you catch me fifteen times, fifteen times, I'm gonna

1300
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: have it on me. What do you think I'm in

1301
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 3: jail thinking, Oh, I don't fuckle now needs decisions. I'm

1302
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: not gonna protect my life at all. When I get

1303
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: out of here, fuck it, let them do what they

1304
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 3: want a li to me.

1305
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: No, No.

1306
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 3: When I'm in there, I'm fine, and I'm understanding that

1307
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm put here for a reason, and the people that

1308
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 3: get joy off me being in here are really gonna

1309
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 3: look stupid cause I'm finna be free because you gotta

1310
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 3: be setting this up. I'm never anywhere to get anything.

1311
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 3: You don't know. I just made three hundred thousand dollars

1312
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 3: in your city. That's why you think I might be

1313
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 3: out here as a ne'er. Do well? You think he's

1314
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: smoking w Yeah, he's got a medical license for it.

1315
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: He needs it. It's his only medication. Do you mind

1316
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 3: if he takes it? It helps him eat because he

1317
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 3: does nineteen one hundred city tours flying across the line,

1318
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 3: and so he doesn't get hungry on the regular, he

1319
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 3: doesn't get sleepy at night. He's got to literally put

1320
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 3: hisself to sleep. He's really gotta make it self eat.

1321
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 3: So this marijuana helps him do both of those things.

1322
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: May I want to help you sleep? Oh?

1323
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because remember, as a comedian, what you're doing is

1324
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 3: against your natural timeline. Your natural timeline wouldn't be that

1325
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 3: you would start your work day at eight o'clock PM

1326
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: and then your work day is over at two thirty am.

1327
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 3: Like that's a weird yes, right, So to tell your

1328
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 3: body now that we're pumped up on endorphins, now let's

1329
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 3: go to sleep at three. It don't work like that.

1330
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 3: Your body has to try to get a whole new schedule.

1331
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: So you know, it suffered, But that's what works for me.

1332
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 3: I consistently used it. I told people all across the country,

1333
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 3: don't worry, this will be legal in our country as

1334
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 3: soon as they find out how to charge taxes for it.

1335
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 3: We will be legal in this country. Do they view

1336
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 3: me as some sort of visionary for my forwards? Nope?

1337
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 3: Nop you and drugs?

1338
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: What I heard? Cap? But how have you been? I mean, bro,

1339
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: every time they try to put you down, they try

1340
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: to put you to the back. Put you bounce up,

1341
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: You move right back to the front, am you? I

1342
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: mean you like a super Bowl. You just keep bouncing

1343
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: in and you bounce higher.

1344
01:00:54,960 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Trampoline skin is something that you ask God for. You

1345
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 3: play football. You had it. There's some people that there's

1346
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 3: really no such thing as hitting shinning sharp so hard

1347
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 3: that he don't want to run the ball the next play.

1348
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: Right.

1349
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And if that's your only goal is to hit

1350
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 3: him so hard that he don't want to beat him

1351
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 3: no more, you just out of luck.

1352
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're wasting your time.

1353
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 3: There's no your coach can't help you. There ain't no

1354
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 3: pep talk gonna help you. Don't matter about the uniform,

1355
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 3: you chill it. None of that matters. If it ever

1356
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 3: gets to mono E mono, May the best man win.

1357
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 3: And if you've been living your entire life trying to

1358
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 3: be the best man that you can for yourself, then

1359
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 3: you should feel great about those odds.

1360
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: You say you smoke a little weed. Yeah, smoke with Snoop.

1361
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually a bigger smoker than's Snoopy. He'll tell

1362
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 3: you that. But I don't, like, I don't mix anything

1363
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 3: with my weed. I just do weed, right. So, yeah,

1364
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 3: nobody hasnim nobody, nobody has nobody. Nobody does twenty blunts

1365
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 3: a day like me for thirty years, Like like I

1366
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 3: was the first person to have a weed roller, like

1367
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 3: somebody whose job it was, Like, I haven't. I haven't

1368
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 3: rolled the blunt in twenty years. Probably Like if you go,

1369
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 3: I'm saying I prefer the saliva of ladies. Oh no, No,

1370
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying. If for a blunt, it's necessary

1371
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 3: for it to get late, right, And so if you

1372
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 3: had spent twenty years smoking with dudes, that's a lot

1373
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 3: of male saliva that you would have just accidentally ingested.

1374
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't be this specimen on that. It

1375
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 3: takes the saliva of nice ladies on that. But yeah,

1376
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm a yeah, that's all I do.
