00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: it's all praise for the most part. Right you have

31

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: we are here because we esteem these people period, Like

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. But we're comedians.

39
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: We're not a comedian. I'll be in there saying exactly

40
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: like and I know black people are comedian. YEA. Our

Speaker 1: Aunties who we love for sure, I mean for sure,

48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think you and Spice give more of a

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: safe place, a safer, safer place to you, just like

50
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, even though versus supposed to be fun, and

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it kind of gets a little serious, like you

52
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: said in the comment sections of like Man, like these

53
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: guys are comedians that you know what I mean, Like

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: everybody got a joke in Depending on the chemistry of

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: the of the people that's in the verses, sometimes they

56
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: too cool, and you know, it gets a little born

57
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: or it gets a little monotonous because they're trying to

58
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: outcool each other and that's not as entertaining, you know

59
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you gotta have a little life

60
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: in there, and you know, not take yourself so seriously.

61
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: So we met a Spice just we we right after verses.

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: We turn it all the way up. The fact that

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: y'all got that type of chemistry working with each other

64
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: without knowing each other before. This is the craziest thing. Yeah,

65
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I still have never met

66
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: a person. Get the funk out of here. No, stay,

67
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: we never met a person though. I'm just a fan

68
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: of his comedy. I didn't even know he's a football

69
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: player before because I don't really follow football at that.

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: But it was like a professional ball Yeah, yeah, what

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: do you played form? He might have played for like

72
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons or somebody like that, but like now, he

73
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: was like alignment. Because it's crazy that when I saw him,

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: when I saw him hitting the bag, he's like I

75
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: was like this. I was like, no, he can fight.

76
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: He got handed. I said, he can actually fight. That's

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: not like he not, No, no no, he got hands. Yeah,

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520

Speaker 1: whole thing. I said, work. I said, Spice album was funny,

80
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: but he might suck you up like in real life,

81
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: in actual life, actual life. And he got the weight

82
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: and he's getting his way down, but he still got

83
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: them fat man bone. Yeah you know what I mean,

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,920

158
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: same thing that anybody I was remember. I remember the time, Hey,

00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to say, are shared? Okay, okay,

160
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: I jumped the gun with me and my good brother.

161
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: He's just shared. I'm not gonna pull the CPS APC

162
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: and throw throw it under the buck. We don't share

163
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: these and then be living if you an't got room

164
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: for me? So what is it all begin? Man? Yeah,

165
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: give us, give us a big break. It's a big

166
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: break for me. You should all begin in my living room.

167
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: As a kid um in Germany in Germany, baby sitting

168
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: my little sisters. They sleep and I'm left in the

169
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: living room watching TV. I just got consumed by that ship.

170
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: And that's back when they had full on campaigns on

171
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: TV saying don't let your kids watch so much TV,

172
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: like it was the whole thing, the idiot box and

173
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe coming up with all these these phrases. But I

174
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: was getting charged from that ship. I was. I was

175
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: looking at TV a whole another way. It didn't mean

176
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: the same thing as everyone else. It wasn't mindless time

177
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: for me. I was looking at I was soaking all

178
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: that up. I was looking I was listening to dialogue,

179
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: I was listening to I was watching characters, I was

180
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: watching movement. So from that point to doing impressions and

181
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, being able to mimic people I saw on TV.

182
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: I used to play music by ear, so that's when

183
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: my ear came from. To listen to somebody piano as

184
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: like a five girl. I hear, ship onto my little

185
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: castio and you have to play the melodies. But yeah,

186
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: that that translated into impressions. But the first big break

187
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: was Deaf comedy Jam. That was the one that got

188
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: me on television doing my thing. Yeah, it's by the Bug,

189
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: remember that. I remember that hosted by Jamie Foxx. I

190
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: did the season. It's called the All Star season. It

191
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: was the last season. It was in the original Theater

192
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 1: in New York and it was all Stars, so everybody

193
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: hosted one. This is after Martin left, you know, a

194
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: couple of seasons, after they had tried Joe Torre, Ricky

195
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: Smile not Ricky Ricky Harris um. Remember they were rotating

196
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: host I think that Delve Gibbons maybe, and that last

197
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: season they said let's bring everybody back, so Steve Harvey,

198
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Chris Rod, Dave Chappelle, everybody was on their last Tiefer

199
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: even hosted the episode and the episode that Jamie hosted,

200
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: I was on it. So that was my crazy. That

201
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: was my introduction. Yeah, now that that's super dope, man.

202
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: So from from there though, when you when you get

203
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: to a place like the legendary death comedy jam right, yeah,

204
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: scared shitless, Like what like what are the thoughts though

205
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: before you going? Because people don't understand comedy in that

206
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: in that aspect, right, and you were doing you weren't

207
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: doing traditional comedy like he was dancing and ship and

208
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying it was mixed in. I've

209
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: always been a nonconformist. I never did what anyone else did.

210
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: Like when people was getting the hood, was getting tattoos

211
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: and earrings and smoking blunts and doing all that. Ship.

212
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: I just never wanted to do what everyone else did.

213
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: It made me different. For a while. I was the outcast.

214
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I didn't get invited to every house party or whatever.

215
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: Just said, you had on the karate. What do you that?

216
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: You know? Whatever? Not every day. I mean when you

217
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: left Germany, you left, you left karate outfit in Germany. Uh,

218
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: you wanted an America too? No, I didn't do that.

219
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: I got back to the US. I was in Favane,

220
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Oh black school. Oh yeah, I mean it

221
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: was niggas in Germany too. But the volume, yea, they

222
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: would have jumped you just for having the outfit. Well

223
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: let's just jump the karate. See what he got. Yeah,

224
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: let's see what lee Because they all had guns. That's

225
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: the other thing. Everybody had guns. When we see a

226
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: nigga with that on, it's kind of like, can I

227
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: beat him? Yes, it's the dog the black community, it's

228
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: the endless ship. We like danger. Just something about us.

229
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: We like we like excitement. Is that we like danger?

230
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Or now we like it? We like it? You know

231
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: some wild niggas. I know some wild niggas. We know

232
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: some wild But is it is it bigger than us

233
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: liking it? Is it more so of it? The aggression

234
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: and the thirst for that thing? Is it innate in

235
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: us as a demographic? Are we from from a soldier standpoint?

236
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: From a tribal standpoint? Are we? Is that more naturally

237
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: our element? Like? Think about it, Like when something's going down,

238
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: we run to it. We're like, what's happening, especially when

239
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: we're in that element. Let's do when we're in it.

240
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with somebody where I was telling

241
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I was maybe maybe eleven twelve, and

242
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: we would hear gunshots. We would be trying to find

243
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: out word so we could go back and have all that. Man,

244
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: I said, Man, it was crazy, like dumbash in the

245
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: world as a grown man, and that I think of now, right,

246
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: But when I'm in that element, I'm eleven twelve years

247
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: old and that's just what we were. Damn their baby kids.

248
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: Pretty much we gravitated towards it the most ridiculous. It ever,

249
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: like I've been more scared from lesser things than that thing.

250
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Like if I feel like

251
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: somebody about to catch your ass woman, and I'm like, oh,

252
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this today, you know what

253
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean. I get nervous in that moment. But I've

254
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: had to do pull a shotgun on me. And I

255
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: just looked at this. I like, if you're gonna do it,

256
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it right. And I wasn't scared. So

257
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what that thing is. I guess the

258
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: more heightened the the circumstance, it is innate for us

259
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: to to rise to the occasion. So and then the

260
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: element that, like you said that we are raised in

261
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot of it. It just is what it is.

262
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: Like you look out the windows, see who's doing it.

263
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: You get back to watching cartoons. That's it. It ain't

264
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: we gotta move, you know what I'm saying. Just don't

265
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: go up, Just don't go through. It's wild up there

266
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: right now, you know what I'm saying. Um, So you're

267
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: scared a lot of So you're scared shitless at and

268
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: you're done stand up. So you do you understand the

269
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: but imagine but see you've done stand up in a

270
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: different way, Like you're you're you're already successful in one

271
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: thing and you're not trying out another skill set. Right,

272
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Imagine stand up is your only thing. You're fresh out

273
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: of school and you're now in a in a theater

274
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,360

Speaker 1: Everyone's just kind of floating around. But it's every legend

286
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Summer is the talent scout. Who I mean, he was

287
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: more than a talent scout. He was like the glue.

288
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: He should have been a producer. I don't know if

289
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: he was or not, but he was Russell and stands

290
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: right handed. And he flew to every club, every club

291
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: that wasn't white, and they just trusted his word. If

Speaker 1: on his track record of going to find that talent.

295
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,359

296
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: about him as a personality back then. But I understand it.

297
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,960

Speaker 1: It's all the time when whenever you a gatekeeper of anything,

300
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: the nigger that lets you in the club has that ship.

301
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,240

Speaker 1: it's it's the moment can change your life. So I'm

325
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: scared shitless and I'm you know, I go the night

326
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: before to watch some of the other tapings, and then

327
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: that night in my room, I didn't sleep. I'm in

328
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: front of the window overlooking New York City with a

329
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: fucking uh I don't know what the toothbrush or something

330
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: in my hand going over my set. I'm like Bernie mcinnum,

331
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: leave out the car. Then I'm doing my Bernie mac

332
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: ship ship. Don't do cartwheel, Oh I'm gonna do that.

333
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: I hate these names with a good times dance, the

334
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: good times po nigger I was. I was going over

335
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: the place, make sure the plays was there. But and

336
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: and this was my first lesson in don't um be flexible,

337
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: don't come out with a plan. And when the plan

338
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: goes awrye you don't know what to do because like

339
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: most young comedians, I'm trying to rely on music. My

340
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: big opener has to be to this song, Kick Kapre,

341
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: can you play this song? Come out? He plays the

342
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: wrong goddamn song. So I'm on live television saying, kid,

343
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: can you play the other song I told you to play?

344
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: And we're waiting a whole seven seconds and this is like,

345
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: it's also a new kid telling Kick, So it looks

346
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: like you don't It don't look like him at all.

347
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: But but in in retrospect, it was me. It don't

348
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: matter what this nigga play, I'm supposed to get out

349
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: there and get into it right, but I picked it up,

350
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: you know, the I found my groove and they was like,

351
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: oh he's creative, he's oh the good times playing. So

352
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I was able to recover, but it was like never again,

353
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: now I'm coming out all right, Oh that ain't work.

354
00:21:43,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: Like I say, oh I did that one time. Where

355
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: was you at? I was probably the worst place to

356
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: do that. I was in uh Inglewood at the Savoy

357
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Chris Spencer's thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, and you didn't You've

358
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: already sold out the Savoy music right, So plenty of

359
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: times like like like like people out on the street,

360
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: floods on the street, right, But that's but that's but

361
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: that was also the problem for me in that world. No,

362
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: the problem for me in that venue is as soon

363
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: as I walked on stage, it was like it was

364
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: like when you're gonna sing ship that. I was like,

365
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: I was like this hold on two mortels indeed saying

366
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: something they take off your shirt, and I was like,

367
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I hate black people. I don't want to perform with people.

368
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: They won't let me be great. Just don't care what

369
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: the box hold on you the backflip guy. So the

370
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: intro was a little off. I was like, man, I

371
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: don't like the intro. I don't like your response. We're

372
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: gonna do this again. I'm gonna intro myself and I

373
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: tried to do to reintroduce myself, and I came saying

374
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: it was like alright, okay, al right. And my first

375
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: joke was aggressive and was one girls in the front like,

376
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: come on, tank, that don't do that. I like, right,

377
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: she's talking to you, she's talking to me, you know

378
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And so, yeah, I don't want to

379
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: do too much negative crowd work in Inglewood. I was like,

380
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: cause I don't know, get to your car. I don't know.

381
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: I gotta get to my car. I don't want to

382
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: start getting into the league. And you know what I'm saying,

383
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: the bad outfit. I don't want to start doing doing

384
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: comedy for free. I can't afford security, you know what

385
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I'm just out of here. So so

386
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't bomb. I just didn't do that.

387
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Good listen, you know what I've been there. This is

388
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: when I knew he loved comedy though, because me and

389
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: him talk, right, we talked after We do that with

390
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: everything with music, whatever we own, movie ship and acting, whatever.

391
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: And I don't go to all the comedy stuff, right

392
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: because he sometimes I won't even know he just him me.

393
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I just want to I just went up and such

395
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,439

396
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: was going up with as a boy, and I was like,

397
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to him after this one, right because

398
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: I want to see you know what the vibe was

399
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: for him? And I could tell in his voice he

400
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: was like, fuck, ship didn't go the way I wanted

401
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: it to go. And I said, so what you gonna do?

402
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm going back somewhere else tomorrow. He loved it. Yeah,

403
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: I love it because someone who did like because you know,

404
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: I looked at it like in his position of you've

405
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: established yourself in his in his music state, I mean

406
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: in music space. And like you said, as soon as

407
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: they introduce your name at this point, because you gott

408
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: hit records and people are fans of you, they're screaming

409
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: because they came to see you. Now you're going to

410
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: do something where they probably came to see somebody else

411
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to learn. But then they still

412
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: have the you are such and such to us in

413
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: certain in certain places. So when he was just like,

414
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: oh no, no, I'm going back up, it's an ego

415
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: check for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't had that happened

416
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: to me since for a Valley State homecoming in nine

417
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand about your your first freaking yeah, yeah,

418
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: that's the last time that happened to me. And I

419
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: was standing up there like this, I really am started

420
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: at the beginning, I'm really, I'm really a baby, and

421
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: I said, this is awesome. Let's see, He's the great

422
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: thing about that is I don't know how great it is.

423
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: It just depends on how you built as a comedian.

424
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: You're going to have those shows. Comedy is not like

425
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, even musicians have this too, but comedy is

426
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: just you're gonna face whatever they're feeling that day. And

427
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: I've had hundreds of those kind of shows and the

428
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: only thing you could do it leaves you with that

429
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: blood in your mouth if you really about it, you

430
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: said the next crowd next stage, I hit, yeah, I

431
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: have to get it back. Yeah yeah. You in comedy,

432
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: you only feel as esteemed as that last show you did.

433
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be either low or very high. Is

434
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: this something that would be considered to be a hit

435
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: record in comedy, right, Like that's something that because you

436
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: because that's the other thing you guys have to continue

437
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: to switch up, it would probably haven it would have

438
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: to be no, no, they don't. That's what I'm saying. Well,

439
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: what was that was that? This is that like, here's

440
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: what's crazy like and I want and I want to

441
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: get back to let you answer that question. You know,

442
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: being on the circuit for you know, almost two years now,

443
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: a short time that I've been on it is like

444
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: listen to the guys talk about how the bits that

445
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: they're doing they've been doing for like five seven, eight years,

446
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: And that was strange to me because we do a

447
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: new song every day and so I'm like, so you

448
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: got you're not you're not You're not writing nothing the

449
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: night before and now I've been trying to perfect this

450
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: for five years that same fifteen minutes, let's see, that

451
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: was strange to me. Like, I'm gonna let you, I'm

452
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: gonna let you elaborate all of it because how I

453
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: approach comedy is how I approach music. I'm thinking of

454
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: it in terms of a project. So I'm I'm bill

455
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: material to build into a project to record it, get

456
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: it to the people, and then get to the next

457
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: artistic piece. And I'm looking to do that in a

458
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: very short time, versus listening to other comedians who've been

459
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: on a certain way long than me talk about how

460
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: they've been working on the same bits for five, six,

461
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: seven years, and I don't know what's normal. So I'm

462
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: just kind of in the space where I'm just creating

463
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: my own normal or whatever works for me, Like, how

464
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: do you speak to that in terms of how you

465
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: build your content? And then going back to what is

466
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: a hit record in comedy? So similar to you, because

467
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: I come from music first and dance. We're always looking

468
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: to create a new movie move So when I started,

469
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: I was you. I would go to my open mic spot.

470
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: And this was in Charlotte, So open mic ain't like

471
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: in l A. It's one club at this time. It's

472
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: the hottest night in the town. It's Charlotte, so all

473
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: the hornets are there, all you know, pre panthers, it's

474
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: littlets dressed up. This is nine four, ninety five, ninety six,

475
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: ninety seven, right, it's the night like Anthony Mason be

476
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: up in that joint, like just different stars and then

477
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: all the stars from death gam is coming through there.

478
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: So that's the open mic you get to go on

479
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: before earthquake, more centric or you know what I mean.

480
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: And there was no look at my notes while I'm

481
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: doing No, No, you have to perform your ship, so

482
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: I would do. I was conscious of the fact that

483
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm always back on this same stage as often as

484
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: I can be. I want to have a new five

485
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: to seven every time. That was my process, always having

486
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: new ship every notthing. You pull out something you know

487
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: your go to ship. But you I feel like when

488
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: you've got people that's doing the same joke for five

489
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: to eight years, that's to me, that's lazy. Because I

490
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: came back to stand up five years ago and the

491
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: standard special that I'm about to drop is the third

492
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: hour in that five years, right, I was I'm refining,

493
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm recycling, you know, just make it fine tuning. Um.

494
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: And again I'm not saying I'm the best comedian. I'm

495
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: just saying what works for me. What I'm saying. UM,

496
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: But no, I understand what you're saying. Like, I think

497
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: you do have to dig and if you have something

498
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: that's that you know it was gold, you you should

499
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: work on it. I don't think it takes five years,

500
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: but that's me. I don't think it does either. But

501
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: we're also come from a space where this is what

502
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I also be well, not even constantly being creative. The

503
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: comfort level of being creative in front of people mhm

504
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: is different for us coming from being performers before they

505
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: were comedians. So I'm okay with being creative on stage,

506
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: with writing something in my car or watching two guys

507
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: go before me and said, oh, I need to grab

508
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: some of that right there, and then going on stage

509
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: and just getting right to it because because I'm not

510
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: shaken by the proud the moment, I'm not. I'm not

511
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: shaken by that and growing in the space, I'm not shaken.

512
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: If they don't laugh at that one, unless you let's well,

513
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: my bad LEO is a different cold blood, no unity.

514
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: And I went up there. I went up there with

515
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: the worst outfit to go up there in. It was

516
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: like a floral pajamas, that kind of thing, you know

517
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It wasn't at the time, and I

518
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: can't when was that. But first of all, first of all, okay,

519
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: it was. It was a nice albums. Second of all,

520
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to all. Here's here's what happened though.

521
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: After I finished going and saying, I cannot think of

522
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: this guy's name a comedian, he's super dope. Uh. He

523
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:23,200

Speaker 1: about me and my outfit, and I was sitting there.

525
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: So you didn't leave either, No, I stayed to endure.

526
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: I had to take it, and I laughed. His first

00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: seven minutes were amazing about you, about me, he was like,

00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: of you know, kind of tasting that defeat and completely

607
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: understanding this is gonna be This is gonna be a

608
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: long row. This's gonna be a long process to getting

00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: to the point to where not even you're just welcome,

610
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,400

630
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,960

631
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: what's equivalent to that? I think that's something you can

632
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: just like the movie, get put on and be because

633
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: if you become a movie star, yeah, now you're going

634
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: to a comedy club or you have a big standard. Yeah.

635
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: To me, that's that's the equivalent of that. Um. And

636
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: then you know, you know immediately how you've affected the

637
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: world when you're go on towards m hmm. Yeah, you

638
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: know exactly when they're showing up. Yeah, you're like, okay,

639
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: I made a I made a dent in this thing.

640
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: I get yeah, okay, so definitely definitely movie. So you're

641
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: being the lights resident thug, Like, how is that for you?

642
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: Is that? That's like I don't even think about it.

643
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: It's not until you said it that I'm like, I

644
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: do play a lot of funny thugs those different ship too,

645
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: but those are yeah, those are something sticks when you

646
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: do those characters. Because the interesting thing with all of

647
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: those characters, yes, the the one thing that connects him

648
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: is that, yes, the light skin thug right who who's

649
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: just overly thubbed out goofy right, But they're not the

650
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: same person like Ray Raid and the Kwan and Lester

651
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: are not the same person people, which is so interesting

652
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: to me because it's based around the same thing. And

653
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a trip to me what people are.

654
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: Those characters are all from different places. But I think,

655
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: and this is a blessing, is I have a relatability

656
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: that thugs funk with. When the people in the street

657
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: see you and they and they say, Nigga, that ship

658
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: you're doing, that ship had me and my niggas rolling.

659
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: When the niggas is in your in your comedy wave,

660
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: the niggas fun with you. And again I thank God

661
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: for this because I love my people. To be loved

662
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: by the masses is great, but your people are gonna

663
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: ride with you the whole way. They're just gonna ride

664
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: with you. And so the characters have that through line.

665
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: It's think about Ray Ray that they're just like, yo,

666
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: this nigga is just we know he ain't a real gangster,

667
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: but it's something about him that's like a nigger. I

668
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: know about to say, because even as as as as

669
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: as crazy as you go with the character, there is

670
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: still somebody like that, mother who you are. We have

671
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: seen the thug they get flinched and the yeah we

672
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: said it absolutely, but yeah, it's a blessing to have

673
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: that that connectivity with the streets. So what is your

674
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: build as a comedian? Like? What is your like as

703
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: to it's hard to talk against that. You just gotta

704
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: leave that where it is. They don't have a bad one.

705
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: Like everybody got a questionable You gotta leave those there,

706
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: leave Eddie there, and they talk about everybody else. He

707
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: has two classics, classics, right, the guys that have done

708
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: more than him. You've done so many that you have

709
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: time to have a bad one. You have the volume

710
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: to have a bad one. Which I don't knock that either.

711
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: There's output in that. But this, man, some of the

712
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: most classic movies is Eddie. We're not even talking about

713
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: the standard speciallygraphy hours to America Oscar worthy material, Oscar worthy.

714
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: The clumps went into Oscar worthy? What was my other one? Uh? Listen,

715
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: come on, man, he is the goat. He is the goat.

716
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: There's no Oscar for comedy though, right there needs to

717
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: be somebody. I think they're gonna create it, and they

718
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: and they need to retro actively give Eddie Murphy ten

719
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: ten of them, you know, and let all niggas out

720
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: that got weed charges since it's legal, not that's coming.

721
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: That's that's the two active things I need to have.

722
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: But give Eddie his flowers and his motherfucking awards because

723
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: he's better than all of them, man, all the ones

724
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: that they try to well, he's the easy easy. He's

725
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: the prototype for everything that I think every comedian is hope.

726
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: Everyone damn come after him has tried to do it.

727
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: The only person to push that line, I think a

728
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: bit further Jamie fox Yeah, well he's another, He's another

729
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: one of those creatures. Jamie is an alien genius. Um,

730
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorites, one of my favorites, but

731
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: again he's my number two. Come from it, right, he's

732
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: from that and what he's in a class by himself

733
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: because Jamie has been able to do and he's the

734
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 1: only one that has been able to do what even

735
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: Eddie wanted to do, and that is be a successful musician, artist,

736
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: at the top of every food chain. He has an

737
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: award he has, he has Oscar, Oscar, Grammy, Tony whatever

738
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't be Ammy is Emmy, Oscar, Grammy and a bunch

739
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: of other stuff. Yeah. That And there's three people that

740
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: I say are the best storytellers, um, that I've ever heard.

741
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: Two I've been around, um Bill Cosby, Jamie Foxx and

743
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,680

747
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,000

00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: why just and and to that, like a guy like

755
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 1: Charlie Murphy, there could never be another one of him. Well,

756
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: but I'm about to speak on like a guy like

757
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Charlie Murphy, a guy like um Um Bernie mack Um,

758
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: guys like that who have funny ship about him already

759
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: right right, right, right right, You're already funny without doing

760
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: comedy like you could just fun just funny guys. They

761
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: just look as soon as you look at Don Rob

762
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: like man. The reason why I said it couldn't be

763
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: another Charlie though, is because he had the cheat code.

764
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: Brother was the most famous, funniest on the planet, right,

765
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and he got to just be a fly on the

766
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: wall and experienced all the things that Eddie kind of

767
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: couldn't because he's the start. But he wasn't even just

768
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: the homie. This is my brother, my brother. Yeah, I

769
00:48:52,320 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: got access. Yeah, I was Brooks too on everything, you

770
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's like for him it

771
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: was different. That's why. That's why when they did the

772
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: Chappelle thing, it just it was so genius because it

773
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: was his access, yeah, like and the beauty and it

774
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: is that Charlie was his own thing. He was right,

775
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't. But he's nothing like Eddie. Right, there's nothing

776
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: like each other, you know what I'm saying. And that's

777
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 1: what I also respect about the ways family them niggas

778
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: is all in terms of Collis Collis Comedics Family of

779
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: all time, the same way how Rizza had every one

780
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: of the Woods thing with their own label deep he

781
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: diversified it. I watched when I watched Marlon Winds in

782
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: this in the scary was the scary movie when when

783
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: he was in the bed by himself and he acted

784
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: out the ghosts raping him. Oh that I screamed when

785
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: I saw school, I screamed for about an hour time.

786
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: When you went to see that, you got it, I

787
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: was like, what is wrong with this? In the same movie,

788
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: heu a teddy bear like he was full on sweating

789
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: it's And then you got Damnon who was in cup

790
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: made up had funny parts in color colors like Who's

791
00:50:54,840 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: also one of the legendary like one of my Keenan

792
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: Keenan Ivory wins. He is literally saving your family. Looks

793
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: like right, he's nepotism done the right way. What him

794
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: and Joe Jackson at this point, I mean, I'm gonna

795
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: give it to Kean. I'm gonna get and I'm gonna

796
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: say why. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna give it to

797
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: Keenan because Keenan was the person who could who could

798
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: create the opportunities right, like Joe Jackson created the stars right.

799
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: But he wasn't. He wasn't Berry Gordy though, you know

800
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So Kenny Keenan Ivery Wains is Joe

801
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: Jackson and Berry Gordy all in one. Yeah, because the

802
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: way they all operate, Like whoever has a network TV show,

803
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see eight wins, period music, whatever, Uh, rotten

804
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: standing guests. Nobody's done it like them nobody If no,

805
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: you watching that and sees that there's a blueprint and

806
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,959
Speaker 1: it's his brain child, it's from him a thousand percent.

807
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: That's that's incredible. And the fact that like I was,

808
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: I think I was watching it randomly, was it raw

809
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: or delirious that he wrote off raw him and um,

810
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: it's another it's Robert Towns and Robert Townsend. Um they

811
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: co wrote the sketch in the beginning. But I mean

812
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: being around Eddie at that time, you know we tag

813
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: each other joke. I'm sure that they had some you know,

814
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: some more input in name, but to see their names

815
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: on that was like on raw raw, Yeah, this is

816
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: and then not to mention Hollywood Shuffle, like that's Robert

817
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 1: Towns was in his bag and sketch show Man where

818
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: John Witherspoon came from, and a whole lot of other

819
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: David Allen Greer I think was on in a couple

820
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: of Monster Monster Monster. Yeah, we've been blessed man we've

821
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: been blessed. We were blessed because comedy or in terms

822
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: of the people I think who are getting on in

823
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: a comedic space today, it's different. It's different. That's actually

824
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: a segue into me wanting to know your thoughts on

825
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: insta comedy. I just I just had a panel discussion

826
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: today with about insta comedy, not insta comedy, but with

827
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: DC Young Fly. He and I want the same panel

828
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: And I always say it like this, Um, I don't

829
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: care what the platform or the era. There's good niggas

830
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: and there's garbage niggas, right, fair enough. So when it

831
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: comes to the insta social media and people like, ah,

832
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: that ain't real, that sh it. Ain't they cheating? It's

833
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: too simple. It's too they're not really doing uh, they

834
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: put in the time in the work. If that was

835
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: the mentality that was that prevailed, prevailed in the seventies,

836
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have hip hop because all them bands, all

837
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: them seventies bands, that was music theory part of it,

838
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: and part of it wasn't their mentality though. No, But

839
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, if if, if it would have succeeded

840
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: and they were able to shut down these niggas that's

841
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: taken out records and saying word yeah it's hippity hop.

842
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: They cheat it. We learned the instruments. How are you

843
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna take my vinyl and you're gonna say some bullshit

844
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: over you know what I mean. It was a lot

845
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: of old g that was mad. They were mad. But

846
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is I'm not gonna be that nigga.

847
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: Now that's overlooking the next wave of hip whatever it is,

848
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: whatever this social media ship is. Get involved. Do you

849
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: think you did that? You did get involved? Yeah, that's

850
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: my mentality. It's like, I'm just gonna I'm gona get involved.

851
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: But for me, when I when I got into comedy

852
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: during the insta comedy era, I didn't I didn't want

853
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: to be I didn't want to be instat funny. I

854
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to go into a bar with

855
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: seven people and make them laugh, because that's that's how

856
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: the comedians that I appreciate got it. And so I

857
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: felt like there was there was a piece of that

858
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: foundation that I wanted to connect to, a step that

859
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: I didn't want to skip, just personally, just personally, you

860
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I wanted to connect to that

861
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: for sure, because I just thought because that's because that's

862
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: that's that's how greatness was defined to me, because those

863
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: are the people that I grew up under. And I'm

864
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: not mad at the inst to funny. I get it,

865
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: and you're smart for taking adapting and running with it.

866
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, as with music, right, the greatest

867
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: ones in hip hop come from music. Nah's dad was

868
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: a jazz musician. Rock him dad jazz musician, um Dr Dreide.

869
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: He plays like the ones that still want to go

870
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: learn the foundation of musical perfecting, the crack really perfecting.

871
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: They're the ones that's going to be around for a

872
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: long time and have been around for decades. So you

873
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: are cut from that claude. I am cut from that claude,

874
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm not being We're not insta funny already. We

875
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: are already niggas that got the tools to get on

876
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: stage and perform. We know how to move a crowd, right,

877
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: We're just using Instagram as an extra platform add to

878
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: our arsenal. It's not all we have, you know what

879
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean. But what I say about that is get involved,

880
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: Like get involved, don't shun it. Don't look at these

881
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: niggas that you think is not funny and they're on

882
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: Instagram doing comedy. Some of them niggas is hilarious. It's

883
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: up to them to want to take it. For me

884
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: as a consumer, are a fan even um, there are

885
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: certain pages that I just go to. I want to

886
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: see what the right what the new post of this

887
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: guy from a spice Adam to a highihday this to

888
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: a d C comedian though you know what I mean?

889
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: Or like when be Sa moaning and was doing all

890
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: of that, they skits and you know what I'm saying,

891
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: like the Desy Banks you having me hollering, Yeah, like

892
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: there's something to that and it's very important for us,

893
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I because and and

894
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not a comedian so I wouldn't know, So

895
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: I ask you someone being able to get something off

896
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: like that in a minute seems harder to me because

897
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: it's not like they can really drag the joke out

898
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: and it's no you know, with the punchline type of thing.

899
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: It's more so like you can't edit. But making something

900
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: funny in a minute it's hard though. No it's not

901
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: because I think, but like this, I feel like it's better.

902
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: It's you can. You can. It's like it's like it's

903
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: like doing theater versus doing a TV show. Okay, you

904
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,520
