I still was posting you no, no, 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.880 but you know it was me. You was like dumb 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.840 ass nigga. You didn't know it because I thought. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.760 It was real. But I posted you. You didn't give 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.960 a fuck. Yeah you was. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.800 You was going hard on it like you was dumb 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.000 ass nigga like that. You know you were in the 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.880 videos in the video. Yeah, So the scenario was it. 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.000 So I did just what you wanted me to do, right, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.360 But you didn't tagged me. No, I probably didn't. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.960 Nobody knew it was me though nobody knew it was. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.800 That's what made me switch to the Walmart ship because no, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.160 but when I started doing the videos, nobody knew what 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.600 me and I was complaining about and my boys like, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.400 why are you trying to do realistic videos and you 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.599 want people to tag you? It's gonna take away the realistics. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.280 And that's what I used to I don't think a 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.160 lot of people, especially up and coming comedians, understand and 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:00.920 how that works. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.959 And they wanting to get tagged for ship that. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.600 Don't matter, you know what I'm saying, don't Honestly, you 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.760 don't really ever need to get tagged, you know what 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.880 I'm saying like, and when I don't tag people, it's 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.160 kind of on purpose to help you all, because I 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.079 know the people in the gumments they're gonna tag him. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.720 Fun So because people don't like to be told to 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.840 follow somebody. They like to feel like they found you 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.600 know what I'm saying. So that's usually what I do. 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.439 But people they so thinking that the tag don't. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:29.240 Change their life. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.600 If I tag you, that means I really don't give 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.839 a fuck. But if like perfect example, my man j Ski, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.320 I never tagged him. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.520 I just found his page. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.120 But everybody know this nigga, don't. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.200 I just found his face. I'm like, we never tag him? 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.760 And then I want to, But don't everybody know they 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.440 know him more than more? You wonder where his page was. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.199 That's the psychological as him. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.600 Yeah, but that's the psychological thing of it, to make 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.240 you love this nigga, to love him who he is 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.440 and on your own course. I agree with that. I 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.680 don't look forward. So what so finished tell. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:03.240 Me what happened? 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.280 Uh So? 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.920 Then after I wasn't getting tagged, I was kind of 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.800 emotional about it. 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.680 I was like, yes, hell yo, so I was. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.199 I mean, that's what you were saying security ain't here, yeah, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.079 because the security putting at work. Yeah. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.200 But so but then that made me like stuff like that, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.079 the stuff that you cry about helps you too at. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.480 The same time once you realize that. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.480 So that gave me the momentum to go do a 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.880 Walmart video and still keep it clean. With me doing 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.080 Walmart videos, I still want to respect people and I 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.800 want to mess with elderly people, but still keeping respectful. 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.120 So I was like, let me go do rap lyrics 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.040 on people at Walmart while they shopping because they think 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.520 in the shop and then get their feedback. 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:48.120 So I did that. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.439 Mazi, I know you know him.
