Speaker 4: Me and then you got Tracy Morgan. A return of
Speaker 4: Tracy Morgan is in this. Yeah, and he's funny as fuck.

Speaker 9: accident and you know, just a happy guy. You know,
Speaker 9: I know he's still being fun, healthy and happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So now I'm gonna be a little bit all over
Speaker 4: the place because this is something that that that it
Speaker 4: hit me crazy when I watched Straight out of Content.
Speaker 4: Yeah was your wife comes over to you and says,
Speaker 4: how is Friday coming along?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So did you write Friday when you were still doing Nwa?
Speaker 9: No, I I had just left the group. But we
Speaker 9: wrote it in about ninety four, me and DJ.
Speaker 3: What the fuck a minute? You wrote Friday in ninety four?
Speaker 1: Ninety four? We shot in ninety five, so.
Speaker 5: Wow, it's around the certificate time or right.
Speaker 4: After, right after and then it came out in ninety five. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we shot it came out later. No, no, no, So
Speaker 4: but you you so you had the foresight to write
Speaker 4: this movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: You know, we was fans of Hollywood Shuffle, which is
Speaker 9: a Robert Townsend comedy about you know, black people's experience
Speaker 9: going through in Hollywood. So it just we heard that
Speaker 9: he had he had done that movie off of credit cards. Basically,
Speaker 9: he shot that movie, you know, kind of buying credit
Speaker 9: I mean getting credit cards and and uh, you know,
Speaker 9: charging everything and kind of pieced it together. So we
Speaker 9: was like, Yo, that's what we're gonna do. We're about
Speaker 9: to make a movie. So me and Pool started writing it.
Speaker 9: We were teaching DJ.
Speaker 1: Pool were fans of In Living Color too, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh So.
Speaker 9: It started coming together and and New Line got wind
Speaker 9: of it, and they was like, Yo, we'll make it.
Speaker 1: We'll make it. Use your credit card, now use my money.
Speaker 3: But New Line since Friday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been working with New Line since Friday.
Speaker 3: And is that Stanley?
Speaker 1: Is that that's my man, that's my cousin.
Speaker 4: I keep on people grass to this day because yeah,
Speaker 4: sat Glass ain't let you walk in his grass. Damn
Speaker 4: that makes it not if. So when you wrote Friday,
Speaker 4: did you know that this.
Speaker 3: Was a Coult movie?
Speaker 9: Like immediately I knew it was a movie that only
Speaker 9: like I felt like, only cool people get this movie,
Speaker 9: you know, because it's just too hood, but it's too funny.
Speaker 1: But you know what happened was everybody got it.
Speaker 9: Everybody came to the party, and I just thought it
Speaker 9: was gonna be like like my records. I thought, only
Speaker 9: you know, people in the hood was gonna buy, and
Speaker 9: everybody ended up buying. And we kind of felt the
Speaker 9: same way with the movie. That it wasn't too many
Speaker 9: people in Hollywood like us, and this movie, you know,
Speaker 9: is a little different than what people used to uh
Speaker 9: So we felt like only a niche group of.
Speaker 3: People would would like this movie because because that was
Speaker 3: that was.
Speaker 4: Very It was very crazy that you had such a
Speaker 4: lustriious career as a hip hop artist. He was part
Speaker 4: of the arguably the best group of all times, in
Speaker 4: my opinion, the best group of all times. Then you
Speaker 4: go and have your own solo success. Why did you
Speaker 4: even think, like, let me do a movie next.
Speaker 9: I got big by the bug working with John Singleton
Speaker 9: Boys and to put me in Boys in the Hood.
Speaker 9: And you know, one day I was over at his
Speaker 9: crib and he was like, yo, cud when you're gonna
Speaker 9: write a movie. I'm like what, I'm like, I came
Speaker 9: over here to have a big niggat to you know,
Speaker 9: get put to work. He was like, no, nah, I
Speaker 9: think you can do it. I'm like, what makes you
Speaker 9: think I could do it? He said, them records you write,
Speaker 9: you know, so vivid, I know you can write a movie.
Speaker 9: So that night it's a trip. I went to the
Speaker 9: computer store and bought a computer and got the programs
Speaker 9: I needed. That was back when you had to load
Speaker 9: all the damn programs into the computer.
Speaker 1: And uh. And I started writing the script that night.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was doing. I just started.
Speaker 1: But the first two scripts I wrote was Whack.
Speaker 4: Garbage Pally still worth four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: But but but you know, the third one was Friday.
Speaker 1: You know, seeing that and get made, I kind of
Speaker 1: knew what I was doing right and knew what I
Speaker 1: was doing wrong. Just kept on from now.
Speaker 3: Who was the director on Friday?
Speaker 1: Gary Gray?
Speaker 3: And Steve car did a Friday too, He did next Friday.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, I worked with Steve car before. He's crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so now.
Speaker 4: Now easy yeah, easy. He said one of the most
Speaker 4: prolific lines in life. He said, ice cube, right the
Speaker 4: rhymes that I say, yeah, And nobody thought he was.
Speaker 1: A sucker for that.
Speaker 4: But right now, Drake and all these people, like, how
Speaker 4: did you feel when you heard about like the Drake thing.
Speaker 9: I don't think it's a big deal. I think you
Speaker 9: got two categories you know of MC's. You know, you
Speaker 9: got MC's who could just kind of grab the mic
Speaker 9: and just rip and they you know, naturally that and
Speaker 9: then you got guys who you know, make good records
Speaker 9: and make it, you know, and that's really what it's
Speaker 9: all about, what's coming out to speakers.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to this record game, because.
Speaker 4: When you were writing around Easy, were you writing it
Speaker 4: from his perspective?
Speaker 3: Were you like saying, I'm gonna write it from Everic
Speaker 3: or was it like it was?
Speaker 9: I mean, his perspective is my perspective. We all come
Speaker 9: from the same area going through the same issues. So
Speaker 9: I never looked at it like I'm writing the Easy
Speaker 9: record only only he could.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 9: It's kind of like, you know, if I just took
Speaker 9: his name out and put my name in there, you know,
Speaker 9: to be my rhyme.
Speaker 4: Now did it happen like that in the movie, because
Speaker 4: like in the movie, I think, y'all, yeah, I was
Speaker 4: right and around for East Coast dudes. Yeah, I was
Speaker 4: definitely disappointed they couldn't right to rhyme him.
Speaker 9: Really happy. Easy wanted to be a manager. He just
Speaker 9: wanted to manage the groups. He didn't want to rap,
Speaker 9: and New York was so hot and l A was
Speaker 9: so cold. He was like, man, I want a New
Speaker 9: York group. So he found these dudes out of New
Speaker 9: York called Homeboys only HBO.
Speaker 3: I think I remember them, and and he said he
Speaker 3: was like, yo, right.
Speaker 1: Q right, one of them hood raps for these dudes.
Speaker 1: So I did it.
Speaker 3: But when it wasn't rolling six four? Was it really.
Speaker 1: The third period?
Speaker 9: So I wrote it and gave it to him, and
Speaker 9: they was like, man, this, what are you talking about?
Speaker 9: Ganking six? Yeah, jacket, we don't know what you're talking about. Man,
Speaker 9: this ain't got nothing to do with where we're from.
Speaker 9: So I think it was just the fact that the
Speaker 9: rhymes was so lay.
Speaker 3: They just was like no, and you asked easy, you
Speaker 3: say easy, Dre Drake, so easy.
Speaker 9: Man, won't you do it? We got the studio time,
Speaker 9: We paid for it once you tried. Because Dre was
Speaker 9: producing all kinds of records, man, and he was producing,
Speaker 9: you know, he was moonlighting basically just producing these side records.
Speaker 9: So you know, he was used to working with guys
Speaker 9: who you know, dudes is paying the money. DJ's from
Speaker 9: radio stations was like, yo, I got this creative rap,
Speaker 9: I want you to do the be So you know,
Speaker 9: Dre was like that, you know, just trying to trying
Speaker 9: to get on, trying to get money, and so it.
Speaker 1: Was like, Easy, I can coach you up. You know
Speaker 1: what you doing now.
Speaker 4: In the movie, it was like you were like the
Speaker 4: only business savvy person, like you knew, you knew to
Speaker 4: ask for like certain things. And all the other artists
Speaker 4: they were they were kind of I mean, according to
Speaker 4: the movie, it kind of seemed like they were cool
Speaker 4: with going on to all, getting some chicks and smoking
Speaker 4: some weed, and they were. But you had the foresight
Speaker 4: to say, I know that I'm I'm old something. How
Speaker 4: did you develop that business mind sense?
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, it ain't it ain't like I'm
Speaker 9: from a different planet. You know, it's each one teach one.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I had a publicist.
Speaker 9: The publicist for n w A was a lady named
Speaker 9: past Shavin if y'all, if y'all know Friday, y'all know,
Speaker 9: y'all see the dame past all that. But she ended
Speaker 9: up becoming my manager. But before she was my manager,
Speaker 9: she was like soon as she saw Jerry Heller, she
Speaker 9: was like, do y'all know this guy?
Speaker 1: Do you know who this dude is? And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: who was he?
Speaker 9: Somebody Easy brought around so she would give me the
Speaker 9: game on like did y'all sign a contract with him?
Speaker 1: Nah, because she knew his history.
Speaker 3: He was known for being a bad guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, she knew his history.
Speaker 9: I don't know what he was known, but she was like, yo,
Speaker 9: So she starts saying, did he give you a kind
Speaker 9: you know, just kind of giving me the game.
Speaker 1: So I was I was like, you know, this is dude.
Speaker 9: I need to watch then, you know, because if she
Speaker 9: I don't even really know her that good and if
Speaker 9: she's saying to watch him, I don't know none of
Speaker 9: these people. So I'm watching everybody. And that's how I
Speaker 9: started to just notice things wasn't happening, you know, because
Speaker 9: I was young.
Speaker 1: Two. We all young.
Speaker 9: We happy to just be doing a record, We happy
Speaker 9: to be on tour, We happy to just be part
Speaker 9: of hip hop and not just locals no more. So
Speaker 9: you know, I would listen to that lady, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean, And she was giving me a lot
Speaker 9: of good game, and I was using it.
Speaker 1: And I was helping them too.
Speaker 9: You know, in the movie it don't show that go
Speaker 9: to ring and say, look, mann't don't sign nothing.
Speaker 1: You know, I got Wow, they already knew, they already
Speaker 1: knew somewhere.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they knew where I was coming from, and you know,
Speaker 9: they clowned me when I didn't signed that contract.
Speaker 1: Man, And it really was seventy thousand, it was seventy five.
Speaker 1: Is there any reason y'all didn't portrayed?
Speaker 10: Hold on?
Speaker 3: Hold on?
Speaker 4: Hold on, and I want you to go there, But
Speaker 4: do you know seventy five thousand back then was like
Speaker 4: seven hundred?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how did you walk away?
Speaker 3: And now go right back to your cus?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but how did like every young black kid
Speaker 4: from the ghetto A would have took that seventy five?
Speaker 3: Yeah, why didn't you want to do that?
Speaker 1: I knew they owe me more more.
Speaker 9: I knew they owe me more, so I knew if
Speaker 9: I took that, then I was accepting that that I
Speaker 9: wasn't paid more, that this was cool, and I was like,
Speaker 9: this ain't cool.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 4: They gave me five thousand dollars. I was happy thousand.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 9: You know, it's like, dude, you know when when you
Speaker 9: ain't never had nothing, and and you start getting getting
Speaker 9: a little and you start seeing people get a lot,
Speaker 9: and you start saying, with hold on, man, I'm putting
Speaker 9: in more work than anybody, or you know, most of
Speaker 9: the people around, you know, just threw up a red flag.
Speaker 9: And where I'm from, it's like if you know somebody
Speaker 9: beating you and you accept it, you're just.
Speaker 1: A bitch period period. Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, So I was asking about Arabian Prince. Is there
Speaker 10: any reason why he wasn't portrayed in the film.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really like in a movie, you only
Speaker 1: have so much real estate. And you know, he got
Speaker 1: out the group.
Speaker 5: It's a truth.
Speaker 9: As soon as he saw Jerry, he was like, I'm out, well,
Speaker 9: yeah he was. He quit the day after we shot
Speaker 9: that cover. He quit the day after we he quit.
Speaker 9: He wouldn't talk to He knew about Jerry because because
Speaker 9: he had done records with mccola, he knew Jerry was
Speaker 9: sitting there and wait for artists.
Speaker 1: He was like, Easy, what's up man? While you signing
Speaker 1: with this dude?
Speaker 9: And I think you know, Easy was like, he's a
Speaker 9: dope dealer that's making records and this dude is like, yeo,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna take you off of that that level and
Speaker 9: turn it into.
Speaker 1: Some legit stuff.
Speaker 9: And he did get us, you know, he did get
Speaker 9: doors open, and he did get us a dalb Jerry Jerry,
Speaker 9: you know, because the majors wasn't giving us no deal.
Speaker 9: They was like, nah, it too crazy. So uh, you know,
Speaker 9: he did his thing in business by easy, but he
Speaker 9: didn't do it by us. And then we find out that,
Speaker 9: you know, he was even still it from easy. So
Speaker 9: it was just you know, I don't want to talk
Speaker 9: about dead but God bless yeah whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at least he was a part of getting y'all
Speaker 5: out though.
Speaker 1: That's why in the movie. You know, if you really
Speaker 1: look at it, he was. We didn't. We didn't lampoon
Speaker 1: him like we like I wanted to. We we you know,
Speaker 1: we did all right.
Speaker 4: By now you worked with arguably everybody's top five producer
Speaker 4: of all times. Was Doctor Dre always special or that
Speaker 4: was something that it was developed in time.
Speaker 9: He was always special, you know, first d J. Then
Speaker 9: doing mixtapes. It was the O G mixtapes now, not
Speaker 9: the new mixtapes where they just got somebody beating you wrap.
Speaker 4: Over it, because a mixtape back there was mixing, actually
Speaker 4: mixing rec mixing, you know, mixing records.
Speaker 1: You know, he was he was hot, he was on,
Speaker 1: always nice, you know, making beats.
Speaker 9: It's just his you know, his his ear. He just
Speaker 9: hears stuff different, you know what I'm saying. And he's
Speaker 9: tedious and he liked it. He won't let you out
Speaker 9: there booth till you get it right. Yeah, some dudes
Speaker 9: can't handle it. I mean I heard chastised some dudes.
Speaker 9: You know, they used to going in there and just
Speaker 9: spitting right.
Speaker 1: Nah Na.
Speaker 4: But that's how I know you was a one hundred
Speaker 4: percent real artist. I remember we did Pushing Weight the remix,
Speaker 4: and you said, Noord has to come to the studio
Speaker 4: and you actually wanted.
Speaker 3: To come into the studio and see me write.
Speaker 4: My rime and like that, like you wanted you like
Speaker 4: to me, that's real because when you do a record
Speaker 4: with somebody, you should share a world of course. And
Speaker 4: I just knew one hundred percent. I said, this guy
Speaker 4: is one hundred authentic because of that, because I knew
Speaker 4: you could have You could have sent me the record
Speaker 4: wherever I was at and I could have did it.
Speaker 4: You was like, I'm gonna be in the studio with him.
Speaker 4: And I always knew you one hundred percent real artist
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 9: You know, don't do a record together. I don't want
Speaker 9: to send it over there. You know, we gotta be
Speaker 9: we gotta vibe, you know, or oh, we shouldn't do
Speaker 9: a record together.
Speaker 3: Man, And we smoked helloweed that day too. That's makes
Speaker 3: annoyse close to that definitely, were's.
Speaker 4: A fly ship to say rageist right now, we're gonna
Speaker 4: chill because we don't want smoking bills and shit like that.
Speaker 3: But you know, so now you you you do Friday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, what makes you say let me continue this franchise
Speaker 4: and go and do Friday Part two? Because now Friday
Speaker 4: Part two, Chris Tucker is not a part of this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So what made you still want to say? I'm I'm
Speaker 4: gonna continue to do that? What I didn't want to
Speaker 4: I was like, why, I know, Chris Man, what is
Speaker 4: this movie? You know?
Speaker 9: It's like, you know, just like you're losing a major
Speaker 9: pieces like Shaq and Kobe breaking up, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean? It's like, how can how could y'all win championships?
Speaker 9: But then I started thinking, like, you know, this movie
Speaker 9: is not about two people. It's about a day. It's
Speaker 9: about understanding your environment and having a little fun laughing
Speaker 9: at it. So I'm like, yo, it makes sense if
Speaker 9: we're gonna continue this for Craig maybe to go off
Speaker 9: the block. So all the characters, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 9: introduce you, y'all had no idea that was a real place.
Speaker 9: By the way, we're gon we're gonna be in a
Speaker 9: new place. We having new cast of characters. And then
Speaker 9: I start saying it like, Yo, when I saw Mike
Speaker 9: Gaps do stand up, I'm like, that's Craig Cousin.
Speaker 1: That's Craig Cousin right now.
Speaker 9: So I was like, yo, we can we can keep
Speaker 9: this thing going, you know, and just have my cousin
Speaker 9: instead of my friend and just clown about being away
Speaker 9: from the hood.
Speaker 4: Now, be honest, because Chris Tucker destroy that. Please, did
Speaker 4: you did you think Mike Apps? Because now Mike Epps
Speaker 4: is a no name? Look at this sound.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like I remember being in the movie theater and people
Speaker 4: being like, when they saw that, it wasn't a day day,
Speaker 4: it was smoking.
Speaker 3: Excuse me when they saw they wasn't smoking, Like people.
Speaker 4: Were actually were booming at first when they seen that,
Speaker 4: And it transitions to be like, but did you know
Speaker 4: that he can hold it down or did.
Speaker 3: You have doubts?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he can hold it down.
Speaker 9: I know that we can make because Friday is about
Speaker 9: it's about a feel. It's more than just one person,
Speaker 9: you know, housing the movie. It's a it's his own
Speaker 9: thing in a way. So I just knew that the
Speaker 9: cast that we had in the story, of course it
Speaker 9: was gonna jar people a little bit. But I knew
Speaker 9: once people got a chance to really field Mike Apps
Speaker 9: and see him, that his comedy is mo hood and
Speaker 9: Smokey's to me, and I just felt like, people are
Speaker 9: you know they love him?
Speaker 1: To tell people love my Cat because he's so real
Speaker 1: on wraw with it.
Speaker 9: And then when we did part three, you know, I'm
Speaker 9: bringing Cat Williams in, bringing in Terry Crews.
Speaker 1: It just was.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just it's just, uh, it's just a franchise
Speaker 9: people love and we want to do another one, but
Speaker 9: we got to do it right.
Speaker 3: There, question going there? You I hear this correct, It's
Speaker 3: going to be a last Friday with Smokey.
Speaker 1: And they that's what we want. We're still trying to
Speaker 1: get Chris to.
Speaker 3: Need the roll in that.
Speaker 4: I know this is very bad that I'm just throwing
Speaker 4: myself in there, but I think I think I belong
Speaker 4: just me in there. I could be the garbage man.
Speaker 4: I could be be the guy that picks up smoking
Speaker 4: I didn't do whatever because yeah, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm just such a fan of that.
Speaker 3: So it would be a last Friday with both of them,
Speaker 3: I hope.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's like I can't make Chris do it,
Speaker 1: but fans can you? Yeah, yeah, you know we do.
Speaker 4: I think you gotta right Russian over there to listen.
Speaker 4: Do be celebrating you tonight, ice Cla. You know, I
Speaker 4: don't know if you know about show what it is is.
Speaker 4: You know, when people in this music business, they got
Speaker 4: more than ten years, they try to kick us out.
Speaker 4: They try to say we're old, they try to say
Speaker 4: we washed up, But me, you if and we are
Speaker 4: prime examples that you can do whatever you want to
Speaker 4: do as long as you want to do it and
Speaker 4: continue to have fun. So tonight we are celebrating ice
Speaker 4: Cube and his luxurious career because I want to be the.
Speaker 5: East Coast version of ice Cube.
Speaker 4: People want to be jay Z and Puff and Nas
Speaker 4: and Snoop, and that's great.
Speaker 3: I love those guys.
Speaker 4: We ain't taking nothing from them, but I look, I
Speaker 4: feel like you're still having fun doing what you're doing
Speaker 4: I am man.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I got into this as a fan.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 9: You know when I first started to just pay attention
Speaker 9: to hip hop, it was as a fan. And then
Speaker 9: to be able to do it, just to be able
Speaker 9: to rap, I felt like that was accomplishment. But to
Speaker 9: get this far with it with my career, you know,
Speaker 9: it's just like I feel like, uh, you know, God
Speaker 9: are smiling on me somewhere.
Speaker 1: What artists inspired you? Your penmanship is crazy? Oh man? Man,
Speaker 1: Artists like Meley Mail, Chuck d.
Speaker 9: Carras, One Iced T, Big Daddy Kane, who gets who
Speaker 9: don't get enough credit for being a lyricist. You know,
Speaker 9: these dudes were our giants. One DMC is like the
Speaker 9: blueprint of how you do it, you know. So you
Speaker 9: know I'm a fan of that school of mcs.
Speaker 3: Now fuck the Police, Yeah, did you know that?
Speaker 4: Twenty years later people still want to be saying you
Speaker 4: knew the police was never gonna get better.
Speaker 9: And I was hoping, I mean not I was hoping

Speaker 9: still be rocking something.
Speaker 1: But it's a trip.
Speaker 9: When we was, when we had like laid our lyrics,

Speaker 9: he he just gotta just a sense like this one
Speaker 9: right here is gonna start some ship. And every since
Speaker 9: he said that, it just put it on my radar.
Speaker 9: And it was so true because you know, that was
Speaker 9: before we released the record. After we released it, it
Speaker 9: was like.
Speaker 1: It was something you know that I still can't explain
Speaker 1: how because in the.
Speaker 4: Movie Electric Time, you guys was at the studio and
Speaker 4: they pulled you guys over in the studio.
Speaker 1: I used to sweat us at that studio all the time.
Speaker 9: I was just one incident because it was like a
Speaker 9: Mexican food spot right down the street we would walk
Speaker 9: to and then Torrence Police was on our neck, you know,
Speaker 9: because they just wasn't used to seeing dudes like us
Speaker 9: walking around looking like yeah, but were in the studio

Speaker 3: Wow, d Ray, they get sick. I'm here first listen.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna just be honest. We're in the industry that
Speaker 4: is full of fake people. So when I meet a
Speaker 4: real brother like you, when I sat down and we
Speaker 4: vibe that day, there's nothing more that I want to
Speaker 4: do is always just give you a person like you
Speaker 4: respect and continue because you know why, the older we get,
Speaker 4: the better we get, and the more that we should
Speaker 4: know that we should big up each other, us as
Speaker 4: not just black people, but us as hip hop because
Speaker 4: we're a part of a fraternity.
Speaker 3: It's bigger. It transcends race.
Speaker 4: It's bigger than just us just being black and let's
Speaker 4: just I'm being Puerto Rican and you being Cuban. It's
Speaker 4: bigger than that. We're all part of a hip hop fraternity.
Speaker 4: And if we don't continue to big each other up,
Speaker 4: they won't be nobody else. And your person that we
Speaker 4: got to continue to big up. You're continuously doing great work.
Speaker 4: I sat there and I watched that movie in awe,
Speaker 4: Like I was just like, wow, this ship was funny
Speaker 4: from the beginning, and like, how do you always get
Speaker 4: the tough guy roles?
Speaker 3: Do you request the tough guy roles?
Speaker 1: So they just come to you.
Speaker 9: People feel like you know, when you do a movie,
Speaker 9: you want, you got, you got, you got characters, and
Speaker 9: you got it.
Speaker 1: Like, yo, I see this person. That's that. I see that.
Speaker 9: You don't always get who you see, but you know,
Speaker 9: people you know put you in the category and start
Speaker 9: casting you on that level.
Speaker 3: That's so dope. And you know what else, I got
Speaker 3: a big up before you leave there.
