Speaker 1: the guy that said the very very bottle Man. He
Speaker 1: done shout out because he's a Raider fan, y'all, and
Speaker 1: y'all know how that go. He ain't had a whole
Speaker 1: lot to cheer about, so hopefully he's in a better movie.
Speaker 1: He was just immortalized than the teacher Man's Chinese Theater.
Speaker 1: He has a star on the Hollywood Walker Fame and
Speaker 1: Inducked Tea in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: and induct into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The CEO
Speaker 1: of the Big Three, one of the Laker U. He
Speaker 1: is a Laker, He a bigger Laker fan than I am.
Speaker 1: But let's before we get into all that, que Let's
Speaker 1: get into what we just saw. The Warriors beat the
Speaker 1: Grizlies one sixteen, Jimmy Butler thirty eight points, Steph Curry
Speaker 1: thirty seven points, and they held off a very valiant
Speaker 1: and game Memphis Grizzly team by the score.
Speaker 2: Six. This game was really really close.
Speaker 1: So now the Warriors advanced, they're the seventh seed and
Speaker 1: they take on the Rockets. Uh, that game probably will
Speaker 1: start Sunday. Q watching this game, what did you like
Speaker 1: about what you saw from the Warriors?
Speaker 2: Damn that man?
Speaker 4: I heard that Raiders shot. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I'm the president of the Raider Nation. Always remember that. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right, now, now getting to this gang. We knew
Speaker 4: what was gonna happen. It was close, but we know,
Speaker 4: you know, Steph is you know the man, and proved
Speaker 4: me once again, hitting big shots, big moments.
Speaker 2: Warriors advance. You know, we knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I thought the game would have been a lot.
Speaker 1: You know what, it had been interesting to see, q
Speaker 1: oho had John not tweaked that ankle. Yeah, he goes
Speaker 1: up for the shot, he comes down from the guy's ankle,
Speaker 1: and he he came back in the game late, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't Jahn Desmond bang was unbelievad. He kept him closed,
Speaker 1: big threes, uh, stealing the ball, doing a lot of
Speaker 1: good things. Triple j played in out standing the game.
Speaker 1: But I just thought if John had stayed, it would
Speaker 1: have been interesting to see.
Speaker 2: We never know, who knows.
Speaker 1: Maybe Steph golds crazy and he goes instead of thirty
Speaker 1: seven thirty eight, he goes for fifty.
Speaker 2: But it was a good game. It's what we expected
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: This is the first time the Warriors have actually got
Speaker 1: out of the play in. There had been er three,
Speaker 1: so not four in the play in tournament. Oh Joe,
Speaker 1: what'd you like about what you saw?
Speaker 2: Listen? I I enjoyed the game towards full US.
Speaker 5: I probably thought that the Warriors were gonna come out
Speaker 5: and be victorious in the win. Obviously, playoff playoff Jimmy
Speaker 5: as we as he's known to be called Jimmy, play it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, if you're ready, right, play play in, Jimmy. Listen,
Speaker 5: he had twenty one and a half.
Speaker 2: He can't.
Speaker 5: He came up and he showed out Steph Curry did
Speaker 5: what he did end in the game with thirty seven.
Speaker 5: But I think the game might have been different, even
Speaker 5: though it was close, if we got a job that
Speaker 5: wasn't injured and didn't mess up his angle towards the
Speaker 5: end of the game and the death and Band did
Speaker 5: what he did to keep him close. But obviously Steph
Speaker 5: Curry coming in clutch towards the end of the game,
Speaker 5: and it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, this is the Warriors time of year.
Speaker 1: Know what they're capable of doing. It. It's amazing to
Speaker 1: me that they haven't gotten out of the player in
Speaker 1: Q considering all that championship game pedigree, all the time
Speaker 1: they've been in NBA Finals, they've been in Western Conference Finals,
Speaker 1: They've had toup of fault ball games, but for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to get out of the playing.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I think they lost to the Lakers,
Speaker 1: a couple of lost to the Lakers, lost to the Gris,
Speaker 1: But they haven't been what we thought they would be,
Speaker 1: especially the playing. So now they get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: advance that the number seven seed to take on the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets, the second best record in the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: But this is a young team that's not really battle tester, Q.
Speaker 1: How do you see this matchup shaping out between the
Speaker 1: Rockets and the Warriors.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the Warriors got that pedigree. They know
Speaker 4: what it takes. You know, Rockets scrappy. You know they defense,
Speaker 4: They all over the court, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: They get running, they gunning, yunk and they shooting. They
Speaker 4: they kind of doing it all. But you know they're
Speaker 4: all different animal. You know, you're playing the same team
Speaker 4: over and over again. Uh, they get a chance to
Speaker 4: lock in on you. You get a chance to lock
Speaker 4: in on them. And you know in basketball, byt the
Speaker 4: third game, you know all the moves they got, They
Speaker 4: know all the moves you got and to will to win.
Speaker 4: And so the Warriors are battle test today. They got
Speaker 4: that will to win. Even though I like the the Rockets, young,
Speaker 4: scrap the team, I just think the Warriors got everything
Speaker 4: it takes with Draymon and Jimmy as hungry as ever,
Speaker 4: so I expect the Warriors to come out of that.
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned you're the you're the god When did
Speaker 1: you say the godfather?
Speaker 2: The nation?
Speaker 1: Radiation? So what are you with the Lakers? Are you
Speaker 1: the godfather the Lakers. What are you for the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: You know the Lakers. I mean, I hadn't put put
Speaker 4: a name on it, you know, Uh, it's something greater
Speaker 4: than love with you, the mayor of Lakerville. But you know,
Speaker 4: I've been a big fan man since Uh I was
Speaker 4: knee high to a horse fly. And so it's it's
Speaker 4: just really all about seeing them jail. You know, do
Speaker 4: they have enough time to jail?
Speaker 2: Uh, to to go all the way? We'll see.
Speaker 4: You know, they got a nice, a nice squad. You know,
Speaker 4: I like all I like the size of all the
Speaker 4: role players. You know, they all damn there the same size,
Speaker 4: with the same athletic ability, and so it's it's pretty
Speaker 4: cool to see them, you know, teamed up with UH,
Speaker 4: with Lebron, UH, Luca and.
Speaker 2: Aar fifteen.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, where were you when you
Speaker 1: heard the news the Lakers which treading Anthony Davis for
Speaker 1: Luca Donget And did you believe it when you heard it?
Speaker 2: Uh? I didn't believe it, you know, I was.
Speaker 4: I was at the house and.
Speaker 2: And you know it was you know, I know my
Speaker 2: son he had.
Speaker 4: A you know, a podcast he had to do and uh,
Speaker 4: he was just like freaking out on the podcast. He
Speaker 4: was reading the news at the same time, and so,
Speaker 4: you know, it's hard to believe that was true. But
Speaker 4: the Lakers always pull the rabbits out they had. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I felt the same way when they got shot.
Speaker 4: You know, I felt the same way when they got Lebron.
Speaker 4: You know, it was like, man, how do the Lakers
Speaker 4: pull this off? Great front office? You know, I never
Speaker 4: count them out no matter what. You know what how
Speaker 4: you know how the team look from year to year.
Speaker 4: You know, I never count that front office at out.
Speaker 4: Even bringing a d in was was amazing. Tave up
Speaker 4: a lot to get him, but it worked out. We
Speaker 4: got a championship out of the deal. Yeah, without a doubt. Q.
Speaker 4: You're the co founder of the Big Three. Last year
Speaker 4: was your most viewed season. How do you take it
Speaker 4: to the next level? And it's being reported that Dwight
Speaker 4: Howard said, my last year playing professional basketball, I'll go
Speaker 4: play to the Big Three. There we go. You know,
Speaker 4: stop star power. You know the same thing you know
Speaker 4: that you guys got here, star power. So that's what we're.
Speaker 2: Bringing into the league.
Speaker 4: That's what people want to see, but also the style
Speaker 4: of play. You know, I think people love the Big
Speaker 4: Three because you know, there's still a place for the
Speaker 4: big man.
Speaker 2: You know, we're still in defense. You know, we let
Speaker 2: them try as talk.
Speaker 4: We let players be themselves, you know, you know, not
Speaker 4: penalized personality. You know what me and uh so, I
Speaker 4: think people, you know love that. Fans want that. That's
Speaker 4: what was missing in some ways in the other professional league.
Speaker 4: And so the to come and uh do his you know,
Speaker 4: last you know, go around the country in the Big Three.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fun summer. But you know, we
Speaker 4: also got other players that's great too. So you know,
Speaker 4: now when cities now, you know, we got a team
Speaker 4: in l a uh team in Dallas, a team in Houston, Chicago,
Speaker 4: uh uh, Detroit, Boston, and the d m V in Miami.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be interesting to unlock those fan bases
Speaker 4: and and and and start to grow the Big Three
Speaker 4: from that model.
Speaker 1: What what made you decide to come up with the
Speaker 1: Big Three? You're sitting around to me, Look, you're busy.
Speaker 1: You know, you're in Hollywood. You're back to doing music,
Speaker 1: and I see, I think now you back more in
Speaker 1: the music now than you've ever been. Maybe you're taking
Speaker 1: a break from the acting thing, from writing. I know
Speaker 1: you got to gonna get this a little later. But
Speaker 1: The Friday, the last last installment of the Friday, and
Speaker 1: you probably not righting that you DJ DJ poop.
Speaker 2: But in this situation, what made you decide to come
Speaker 2: up with the Big Three?
Speaker 4: I'm a fan, and you know, after the finals, the
Speaker 4: NBA Finals, man, I would hiburgnate.
Speaker 2: Until football season started.
Speaker 4: I mean seriously, for people who love basketball and loved football,
Speaker 4: those dark days of summer just got you know, it
Speaker 4: was just brutal. And so I knew there was a
Speaker 4: lot of fans out there like me who wanted something
Speaker 4: a real season. Could we fit a season into that
Speaker 4: window between the NBA Finals and the start of the
Speaker 4: regular season in football? And so you know there was
Speaker 4: a great window. And three on three he was sitting
Speaker 4: there kind of dormant. You know, it's kind of the
Speaker 4: little cousin of five on five, And so I said,
Speaker 4: you know, why haven't it been a professionalized And it
Speaker 4: was no good reasons. I looked at what Fever was
Speaker 4: doing and I said, hey, we could do better than that.
Speaker 2: To professionalize the sport.
Speaker 4: And we came up with great wrinkles like the four
Speaker 4: point circles and bring the fire and you know, first
Speaker 4: to fifty win no game clock but the shot clock.
Speaker 4: So the games are fast, they fun and it's what
Speaker 4: basketball should be. And and so you know, we put
Speaker 4: all the great ingredients into it, and it was a
Speaker 4: great idea and we had the connections and the people
Speaker 4: to make it come true. And Hall of Famers had
Speaker 4: blessed us, George Gervin, doctor J.
Speaker 2: Clyde, Drexler, Rick Barry. Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, these guys bless the league and say it's
Speaker 4: something they want to be.
Speaker 2: A part of. And U And so I knew it.
Speaker 4: If the Hall of Famers was into it, I was
Speaker 4: onto something because they wouldn't get behind something that wasn't pure. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and so uh you know that's that's that's the the
Speaker 4: way it started.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: And it really happened after I seen Kobe's last game.
Speaker 4: I was I was kind of upset that I couldn't
Speaker 4: see him play no more, and I said, man, why
Speaker 4: can't he play? And then I just like, well, maybe
Speaker 4: it's just the eighty two games. Because if you could
Speaker 4: score sixty points in a damn game, you can play.
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn you know how you are,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So uh then I said, okay, well then you know
Speaker 4: what if it was half court? What if it was
Speaker 4: you know, a ten weeks you know it was verse
Speaker 4: the fifty win and it was kind of a sprint
Speaker 4: and not you know, such a long marathon or a
Speaker 4: long grind and you.
Speaker 2: Get a week to recover.
Speaker 4: You know, I just tried to put all a good
Speaker 4: ingredients saying to make sure players were was at their best.
Speaker 4: I kind of we kind of looked at the NFL model.
Speaker 4: You know, an important game once a week, and you know,
Speaker 4: you use the week to get your body right.
Speaker 2: And you come out and you give a thousand percent
Speaker 2: que what's kept you going?
Speaker 5: You think about it, right, you've had an idea, you
Speaker 5: had ideas, you had a vision being able to execute
Speaker 5: that vision. Big Three obviously just coming off of its
Speaker 5: most viewed season. How does it feel to watch something
Speaker 5: you created grow mastively and become a cultural feeno, I
Speaker 5: mean phenomenon.
Speaker 4: It's amazing, you know, it's really uh the beauty of
Speaker 4: our minds. You know we can manifest you know, everything
Speaker 4: you see around you you know, came out the back
Speaker 4: of somebody's mind and they and they work to make
Speaker 4: it a reality. And so I think that's our purpose
Speaker 4: is to you know, to create, to always you know,
Speaker 4: manifest so to speak, our ideas and our thoughts, try
Speaker 4: to make them a reality. And then, you know, and
Speaker 4: what I do, it's all about really making it where
Speaker 4: people can enjoy it. So you bring a you know,
Speaker 4: a comedy like Friday out at the back of your mind,
Speaker 4: and then people enjoy it all over the world, and
Speaker 4: it's gonna be here, you know, after I'm gone, it's
Speaker 4: gonna still be here making people laugh, people gonna be
Speaker 4: enjoying it.
Speaker 2: Stuff.
Speaker 4: So that's what keep me going, knowing that what I'm
Speaker 4: doing today it's gonna be enjoyed tomorrow. How how do
Speaker 4: you come up with the Friday concept? I mean, I
Speaker 4: mean that Friday one that's Look, we got classic. There
Speaker 4: are certain movies that's gonna be in our household and
Speaker 4: our community that's a classic. It's hard if you say
Speaker 4: I got five, give me your five Black classics.
Speaker 2: It's hard to say life isn't in there.
Speaker 1: I would say probably Halem Nights.
Speaker 2: You know, things like that, Penalteer.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember Penalteer, Trey have did
Speaker 2: I love?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Come on now yeah man Leon and Isaac Kennedy Man,
Speaker 4: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But come up with that idea. You said a lot
Speaker 1: of times you have an idea. You put paying the
Speaker 1: paper in this And did you know when you when
Speaker 1: you were writing this and when it came out and
Speaker 1: you finish, you your wrap? Because if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: you finished Friday in twenty one days? Correct, we finished
Speaker 1: shooting it in twenty days? In twenty days? Did you
Speaker 1: know it was going to do this? Did you know
Speaker 1: it would be this? Thirty plus years later, people are
Speaker 1: still talking about Friday Classic.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, me and.
Speaker 4: DJ Pooh we uh, you know, we make music, but
Speaker 4: we laugh a lot, and and you know we love
Speaker 4: the classics. You know, you mentioned some of them and
Speaker 4: we wanted to have one. And we was you know,
Speaker 4: watching people like Robert Townsend who he had amazing specials
Speaker 4: in Hollywood, an amazing it shuffled that that's brilliant. We
Speaker 4: were saying, you know, what they were doing with their
Speaker 4: living color and it was like yo, you know, it
Speaker 4: was so many hard movies coming out about our neighborhood,
Speaker 4: you know, from in the hood to minutes society. And
Speaker 4: we were like, yo, you know it's hard around here,
Speaker 4: but we have we had fun too, and we laugh
Speaker 4: a lot, so you know that's kind of missing and
Speaker 4: what we're doing and what was being put out there.
Speaker 4: So we wanted to do a movie about the neighborhood
Speaker 4: and kind of turn things on their ear and laugh,
Speaker 4: you know about some of the things that was happening
Speaker 4: instead of crying about it.
Speaker 2: And and so.
Speaker 4: You know, when you grow up in the neighborhood like gardens,
Speaker 4: you got everybody got a dark sense of human you know,
Speaker 4: so he need to turn some fun you know that
Speaker 4: you know could be considered a tragedy. You know, people
Speaker 4: figure out a way to make, you know, to make
Speaker 4: light of it and laugh about it and not always
Speaker 4: cry about it. So you know that that's what we
Speaker 4: was doing. We was taking real situations that we had
Speaker 4: grew up with and and you know, we squosing into
Speaker 4: one movie and and you know, we we we set
Speaker 4: out to make a hood classic and that's what we did.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: So it was mission accomplishing, but we couldn't have got
Speaker 4: it done without people like f Garyty Gray who this
Speaker 4: was it was his first movie. You know, of course,
Speaker 4: you know funny people like Chris Tucker and Bernie Mack.
Speaker 2: And you know that's the.
Speaker 1: Thing because a lot of these people, this is the
Speaker 1: first time you put You put Chris Tucker, you put Q,
Speaker 1: you put Rinaldo Ray, you put Bernie back, you put
Speaker 1: Zel when you go to shoot this movie. And like
Speaker 1: we talked about early, we just saw Friday is moving
Speaker 1: forward to development. If you don't mind, could you give
Speaker 1: us a little insight because a lot of these a
Speaker 1: lot of the original people that were.
Speaker 2: In Friday, it's going on.
Speaker 1: And DC Curry was another comedian that's been in more
Speaker 1: it's been in your movies. You like to get, especially
Speaker 1: comedians that might not be household names. And we go
Speaker 1: back and like man Man Bernie, make with the Bernie,
Speaker 1: make with the Preacher coming over that.
Speaker 2: Miss Parker's house.
Speaker 4: You know, the thing is to me, there's a lot
Speaker 4: of funny people out there, yes, you know, and a
Speaker 4: lot of funny people came in on audition for these movies.
Speaker 2: You know, some of.
Speaker 4: Them didn't get the parts. And that's not because they
Speaker 4: wasn't funny, it was it was because they wasn't perfect
Speaker 4: for that character. These are still characters in a movie. Uh,
Speaker 4: and we all know the neighborhood and all the different
Speaker 4: types of people that we run across, and so you
Speaker 4: want to have somebody that really is the character more
Speaker 4: than just a guy who can make you laugh. And
Speaker 4: so I'm looking for something, you know, a little different
Speaker 4: than most people. That's why I'm able to pick people
Speaker 4: that you know, not so called household names, and I
Speaker 4: can see him as these characters and able to put
Speaker 4: them in a situation where they can win.
Speaker 2: And you know, so we're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 2: You know, there's still a lot of.
Speaker 4: You know, from the movie characters that's that's here with us.
Speaker 2: You know, hopefully, you know, a lot of them want to
Speaker 2: part of the movie.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a funny movie full of funny characters.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be some old characters, but it's always it's
Speaker 4: also gonna be some new characters, new peoples, new situations.
Speaker 2: Uh. The only thing for day there is back out

Speaker 3: Y'all?
Speaker 2: Y'all in two different places. You ain't in the sid
Speaker 2: spot thousands of people and I don't, we got and
Speaker 2: we got. You mentioned that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this tour is gonna be about spending your career
Speaker 1: forty years. You probably are part of one of the
Speaker 1: most influential, if not the most influential groups because you
Speaker 1: ushered in something the Gangster rap era you nwa you
Speaker 1: uh dre easy the doc yellow uh. At the time
Speaker 1: when y'all put this together, did y'all realize that damn there,
Speaker 1: forty years from now that people was gonna pay give
Speaker 1: you your due and pay you homage to what you guys
Speaker 1: had done. Did you did you think about that when
Speaker 1: you guys were putting this group.
Speaker 2: Together, not at all.
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't even think about you know, so
Speaker 4: called Usher then the gangster rap era because at the
Speaker 4: time when we did our z all rappers had their
Speaker 4: own styles.
Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't a follow of the leading type
Speaker 2: of deal.
Speaker 4: It was either you create Shong style or you're not
Speaker 4: going to the rise to the top. Alright, So you know,
Speaker 4: we created all on style out here on the West Coast,
Speaker 4: and we had no idea that the whole rap game
Speaker 4: would start to do the kind of music we were doing,
Speaker 4: you know, yes, and there was you know, all kind
Speaker 4: of groups. How when we first started in nineteen in
Speaker 4: eighty five, eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight eight, there
Speaker 4: was so many different fous of rat you know, from
Speaker 4: the Daisy Age to you know, you had you know,
Speaker 4: Jungle Brothers. You know, you had Bat Boys, the Mail.
Speaker 2: You had Big Dak, you had coolbo d you had
Speaker 2: l Al had One Rock, you had had so many
Speaker 2: different flavors.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nowhere in the world did we think once we
Speaker 4: do this, all the flavors would turn into this flavor,
Speaker 4: you know, because that was actually considered a no no,
Speaker 4: you couldn't bite nobody's style and and.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 4: You know, it was kind of a domino effect after
Speaker 4: the music came out. But there was no way for
Speaker 4: us to say, hey, it's time for this now, because
Speaker 4: we were fans of all that other music too. We
Speaker 4: was fans of Big Daddy, Kane and e pm D
Speaker 4: and you know what I'm saying, like a dollars Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, so we was fans of all that music.
Speaker 2: One DMC was king, you know, so.
Speaker 4: Houdini. Yeah, you know, it was like it was. It
Speaker 4: was a great time for for hip hop for sure.
Speaker 5: Hey man, you you you are a legend. Man, You're
Speaker 5: you're a legend. You're an icon. And when I think
Speaker 5: about it, and I sit back and I think about
Speaker 5: everything you've done, which about forty years, you know, between
Speaker 5: Hollywood Walker Fame, Star, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction,
Speaker 5: Basketball Hall of Fame recognition, do any of these accolades
Speaker 5: hold a particular special place for you? And which like
Speaker 5: which one would mean the most of you or collectively?
Speaker 5: Do all of them kind of equal the same? Are
Speaker 5: they all equally yoked?
Speaker 4: You know we started off in music, so rock and
Speaker 4: roll Hall of Fame is big, yeah, because you know
Speaker 4: that's what all started, Yes, sir, the Walker Fame is
Speaker 4: cool if they keep it clean.
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta go up there, coming down a
Speaker 2: little bit here and there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, you know, having an award in the
Speaker 4: basketball Hall of Fame is something that you know, you
Speaker 4: cannot even that couldn't even be in my dreams because.
Speaker 1: I had you know, you can't. Yeah, how you getting
Speaker 1: the Hall of Paper? You know, I can suck around
Speaker 1: get a triple double. Only you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Any of that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So you know then and now, you know, it was
Speaker 4: kind of like a pleasant surprise, But were Hall of
Speaker 4: Fame you know something every artist you know, looks to
Speaker 4: achieve as far as recognition from the industry and the
Speaker 4: music industry. Uh, a lot of mavericks, you know, a
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of people on their own page.
Speaker 4: So you know when they all come together to say,
Speaker 4: you know, you wanted all those top artists in history,
Speaker 4: you know, that that means a lot.
Speaker 1: You every year we have this, there's this the top
Speaker 1: thirty greatest disc songs and normally within the top five
Speaker 1: top ten no vasline. Yeah, we just had a guy
Speaker 1: had I don't know people saying Drake might have excuse me,
Speaker 1: Katie Dot might have had the greatest disc song considering
Speaker 1: who it went up against. When you look at what
Speaker 1: you know, Vasaly, you look at hit them Up, you
Speaker 1: look at Ether, you look at not Like Us, Sheath,
Speaker 1: the Remy mad and Nikki going at it. Where would
Speaker 1: you where would you rank no vasa leid as far
Speaker 1: as dis tracks and did you know it was gonna
Speaker 1: it was gonna land like it? I mean it was
Speaker 1: a bulls like they just land. It was a bulls
Speaker 1: eye perfect.
Speaker 4: Hey, you know you can't take nothing from not Like Us.
Speaker 4: You know, I want to Grammy said super Bowl it's huge.
Speaker 4: But when it comes to a feud, what's the most
Speaker 4: vicious feud you can get into?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 4: Then that you can get into is a family Yeah,
Speaker 4: so when it's a family feud, you get more vicious
Speaker 4: than that. So just because the fact that it was
Speaker 4: a family feud and we were in close proximity, Uh,
Speaker 4: and we ran in the same circles and knew the
Speaker 4: same people. No Vasoline, it's hard to beat because you
Speaker 4: know you did your thing on it. Now, yeah, you
Speaker 4: know this is somebody that's far away from you is
Speaker 4: one thing. But you know this is somebody you can
Speaker 4: run into the next day or any day is another thing.
Speaker 2: So I just I just I gotta I got you
Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna say. Man, come on, now, you
Speaker 2: know how it is.
Speaker 1: Hey, I ain't gonna fight you because, like I said,
Speaker 1: no Vacline hit them up with Tupac, going to Biggie
Speaker 1: uh nods with Ether.
Speaker 2: But you transition, you tread them. I mean to be
Speaker 2: in the music.
Speaker 1: And not only were you at the top of the
Speaker 1: rap game, you say, you know what, I'm gonna act.
Speaker 1: Not only I'm gonna act, i'mnna ride too, bro, I mean,
Speaker 1: how what was that transition? Did you always want to
Speaker 1: be in movies? Because it seemed like you came up
Speaker 1: you wanted to be you know, you want to be
Speaker 1: a rapper, That's what it was.
Speaker 2: And the next thing, you know, hey, you won't to doing
Speaker 2: it A hell of a job at that.
Speaker 4: No, I never thought about movies, Uh, I was discovered
Speaker 4: by John Singleton Rest in Peace.
Speaker 2: He Uh, he saw something in me.
Speaker 4: You know, he saw when he was writing a movie
Speaker 4: and he saw yo, from the videos, from my hand interviews,
Speaker 4: that that I could do it. And and uh he
Speaker 4: convinced me that I can do it, and uh I
Speaker 4: trusted him, and uh in the process of making the movie,
Speaker 4: you know, John Singleton would keep he would keep, uh
Speaker 4: like picture frames of all his rejection letters. So he
Speaker 4: sent Boys in the Hood the script to a lot
Speaker 4: of studios and they all rejected him for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: until Columbia picked it up. But he would keep those
Speaker 4: letters saying why the movie would never work, and he
Speaker 4: kept him in his motivation. One day, I was in
Speaker 4: his house and he was He asked me, when was
Speaker 4: I gonna write a movie? He said, uh, he said,
Speaker 4: You'll never get another movie like Boys in the Hood
Speaker 4: unless you write it. And so that just opened my
Speaker 4: to Uh. I left that day, you know me. You know,
Speaker 4: my wife, Kim, she was my girlfriend. Then we went
Speaker 4: to the max store and bought a computer, bought final
Speaker 4: Draft and started trying to figure out what was what
Speaker 4: was the script I was gonna write? And I wrote
Speaker 4: a few you know, he helped me through it. The
Speaker 4: first two scripts wasn't that tight, but the third script ride.
Speaker 4: You know, the third script was Friday, and me and
Speaker 4: DJ Pooh wrote that together.
Speaker 1: So it took you longer to write the script that
Speaker 1: it did to field the script, because you say it
Speaker 1: took you to any day in the film, the whole thing,
Speaker 1: and it probably took you six months to a year
Speaker 1: to write.
Speaker 4: It took me a while to write it, just because
Speaker 4: I was a new writer. I went to school for
Speaker 4: so I was kind of self teaching myself the format
Speaker 4: from the other scripts that I had and and I didn't,
Speaker 4: you know, know a lot about structure yet secondary dairy stories,
Speaker 4: how to, how to how to bring them to a conclusion,
Speaker 4: and kind of you know, first act, second act, third act.
Speaker 2: You know, the structure of movies. And I learned that through.
Speaker 4: You know, I got a lot of help from Pat Sharponnay,
Speaker 4: who was my manager at the time. She would have
Speaker 4: helped me, you know, proofreading structure, refining the characters, you know,
Speaker 4: just making it more movie worthy and less amateurish.
Speaker 2: And so, uh, you know, we came up with the movie.
Speaker 4: We had twenty days to shoot it, you know, so
Speaker 4: we shot and it's not twenty straight days.
Speaker 2: Like it's uh, five days a week, weekends off. So
Speaker 2: an it's old a month basically a month month. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's dope.
Speaker 1: But you know, when you shoot a movie, when you
Speaker 1: shoot a movie like that in such a little time,
Speaker 1: everybody got to hit the marks. You ain't a whole
Speaker 1: lot a whole lot of retakes at a whole ain't
Speaker 1: q I mad look out a bid old seens.
Speaker 2: I've been on commercial not a movie, but commercials.
Speaker 1: And when people when you when you work around that time,

Speaker 1: Joe the magic or the number seven seed, and they
Speaker 1: will face the Boston Celtics they took down and the
Speaker 1: seven eight matchup they took down the Hawks. As usual,
Speaker 1: the Hawks leaned heavily on Trey Young and he was
Speaker 1: on pace to play THEMN pace to play almost the
Speaker 1: entire game. But he was ejected late in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and uh what to come down the number on him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he threw he threw the ball a little hard
Speaker 5: at the ref. Now it was it had a little hey,
Speaker 5: it had a little pace on it had little on it. Hey,
Speaker 5: that ref dropped that ball, so got damn fast man.
Speaker 2: What look.
Speaker 1: But he had at the time he played forty minutes,
Speaker 1: he was eater fifty one, eleven to twelve. He had
Speaker 1: twenty eight points. Didn't get a whole lot of help
Speaker 1: from anybody else, But hey, the magic are good. Barry
Speaker 1: Carroll and Franz Wagner did not play well. It was
Speaker 1: a Cole Anthony off the bitch. They gave him twenty six.
Speaker 1: Black played well off the bitch. And when you get
Speaker 1: that kind of production, when they have forty two, forty five,
Speaker 1: forty seven, fifty one. They got fifty seven points from
Speaker 1: the bench. You get fifty seven points from your bench,
Speaker 1: you gonna win a lot of games. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you got back in your class seventeen, Wagner thirteen, Whendell
Speaker 1: Carter Junior had nineteen. So they got great top end scoring.
Speaker 1: But the bitch is what came in. Cole Anthony came
Speaker 1: off the bench ten or seventeen, four to nine from
Speaker 1: the three. Anthony Black was six or seven from the field,
Speaker 1: three or three from the three. And that was the
Speaker 1: difference in the ball game. But it's not all lost yet. Now,
Speaker 1: Hawks get an opportunity as the seven eight matchup. The
Speaker 1: loser gets to take on the nine ten where in
Speaker 1: her whoever wins that game, they will face the Hawks
Speaker 1: or chance to beat the number eight seed and face
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 2: That ain't pretty. That ain't that. Ain't that ain't gonna
Speaker 2: be pretty at all.
Speaker 1: No, it's gonna be a good game. I like Orlando, Orlando,
Speaker 1: Orlando better than people think. I know if you're not. Oh,
Speaker 1: Trey Young throwing the ball?
Speaker 2: And did he?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Did he? When they teed him up, he had the ball,
Speaker 2: he dribbled and spiking it, didn't he? What do you do? Hey? Boy?
Speaker 2: He's funny, man, He is funny. I don't think ejected
Speaker 2: for that. And he ain't ejecting for throwing that guy
Speaker 2: that throwing the ball too hard. He throw a little hard.
Speaker 2: He throw a little hard on you. He did. Oh Joe.
Speaker 1: There's been one constant doing the entire Luca Dodgers trade
Speaker 1: for you, is that Nico Harrison and the Masks container
Speaker 1: make some worst period decision imaginable.
Speaker 2: Nico said he has no regret in the Luca trade.
Speaker 1: When you look at this trade, we targeted Ad with
Speaker 1: our philosophy of defense wins championships. We wanted a two
Speaker 1: way player that could lead our team, and that was
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. Everyone's gonna have the criticism and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what Mark Cuban said, but that's a better question
Speaker 1: left for him.
Speaker 2: But we got what we wanted. My obligation is to
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 1: It's what's best interest of the Dallas Mavericks and that's
Speaker 1: what's the most important thing. Some of these decisions are
Speaker 1: going to be unpopular, maybe the Derrick and maybe just
Speaker 1: some fans, but my obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 5: Is he trolling at this point, but talking about it,
Speaker 5: he's making He's making it worse. I'm not sure what
Speaker 5: his angle is. I'm not sure what it is for
Speaker 5: the meediment of the future from the Dallas Mavericks. You
Speaker 5: want to make the right decisions long term. Letting Luka
Speaker 5: don Shall go to the Lakers is not making the
Speaker 5: right decisions by the fans or the Dallas Mavericks on
Speaker 5: his organization. Not not saying that it's nothing wrong with
Speaker 5: ad but I mean, look, we talking about longevity and
Speaker 5: wanting to keep your job based on the decisions that
Speaker 5: you make for the betterment of the team.
Speaker 1: It would have been keeping Luca there, but that's not
Speaker 1: his But at the end of the day, that's not
Speaker 1: his call. That's ownership's call. And the Dumont family said, Okay,
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban just tweeted.
Speaker 2: What did he tweet?
Speaker 7: He called him stupid or something. I guarantee yourk is
Speaker 7: the is the Dallas Mavericks. They're notine forever. No one
Speaker 7: should ever forget that. That statue will forever, will will
Speaker 7: be here forever loud, he never fades. Tomorrow night, fifteen
Speaker 7: guys will put on a Mavericks uniform and they'll do
Speaker 7: everything they can to win for themselves, each other, and
Speaker 7: the fans. Our squad busted their you know what, fight
Speaker 7: through incredible adversity. They have my respect and support, should
Speaker 7: have everyone's. I'm a Maths fan.
Speaker 1: I'll always love and cheer for everyone who puts on
Speaker 1: our uniform Tomorrow night and however many games we have
Speaker 1: left in this season and ever in the future, whether
Speaker 1: I'm in the stands or in front of the TV,
Speaker 1: or following every play online, my heart and soul is
Speaker 1: committed to rooting for our Maths to win. That will
Speaker 1: never change. I know fans are upset, but don't be
