Speaker 2: All right, So I'm gonna keep you know what I mean,

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: real simple, old fashion you know what I mean, A

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: good old bacon sandwich, you know what I'm saying. I've

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: never been a real big egg fan like I've always

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: but I like bacon and bread like it's always been

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: my thing, the meat and the bread. Pause.

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: And there's no like condiments.

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: No, Nope, I've never because it's like, what do you

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: put on a sandwich? Like catch up with bacon? No

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: hot sauce, hot sauce, but it just depends on how

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm feeling. That was more so before I stopped eating pork.

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: So the hot sauce with the pork bacon was like

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: fire turkey bacon. Hot sauce not so much, but just

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: the bread, the flavor of the turkey bacon. It was

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: just enough for me.

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So you go ahead and start cooking it up,

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: and while you cooking it up, you gotta take me back. Oh,

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: by the way, this is electric. I know some of

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people are used to cooking on.

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: All type of stuff. I haven't been through all types

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: of walks of life, hot plates, all that.

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you you started very young in the industry.

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: C yeah, yeah, So I'm curious what the heck was

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: going on when you was the in bacon and bread.

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: So what it was is, I'm gonna tell you the

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: crazy part about it. Right. So for me, I wasn't

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: so much. I wasn't like fifty rich, but I wasn't

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: like flat broke. But my mama didn't want me, didn't

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: want money to raise me. So I didn't know that

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: I really that I was a kid with money, you

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like I had came from mama

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: working two jobs. Sometimes every man for himself, make it

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: do what he did. That was one of my mamas saying,

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: every man for himself that night. I ain't cooking shit

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: figured out, you know what I'm saying. So with me, Like,

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: I've never been big on vegetables, never been big on

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, a lot of different shit.

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: I've always been god damn meating potatoes or like you

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: know what I mean, meating bread type of nigga.

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Now are you still like that? You still don't eat

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: a lot of edgies?

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: No, And my mama tell me all the time, like, boy,

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: you're getting older, you better start eating vegetables. Is you're

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: gonna pay for it. And I'm hard headed, hard headed

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: as hell. I am very much hard headed, But sometimes

59
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 2: I eat vegetables, especially now like I got kids now,

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: so like I gotta kind of try to eat vegetables

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: because if I don't, then my son gonna be like, well, Daddy,

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: you don't eat vegetables. Yeah, so I gotta try to,

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, be a good example for

64
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 2: the children. But I'm really not a big vegetable fan.

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: Like I'm not even gonna lie to you like, I'm

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: a nigga that's gonna eat steak and mashed potatoes and

67
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: two pieces of broccoli, and I feel like that's a

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: good helping for me. I just I don't know why either,

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: because vegetables don't taste bad. I just don't fucking like them.

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: I don't know why bro Like, I'm just I don't know.

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm a carnivore. I don't want no damn grass.

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: So I guess vegan's not in your your forete.

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: Oh hell no, not a chance. I could never do.

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: I commend the ones that are vegan, but me, I

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: could never be vegan. I like burgers and steaks and

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: chicken wings and shit like that, and I don't think

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: no substitution can taste I'm not gonna lie. At one

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: time in Atlanta had some slutty vegan and that burger

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: was damn good.

80
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to try.

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: It was damn good. I could taste where it wasn't

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: real ground. However, it wasn't bad. It was like it

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: still tastes good as fuck. Like if somebody would have

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: gave it to me without telling me it was slutty vegan,

85
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: they probably would have got over on me. But because

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: of the fact I knew that it was slutty vegan,

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: I feel like my taste bud was looking for the inconsistencies,

88
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: the non ground beef tasting shit.

89
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'm like you in the sense that

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I like meat, but uh in La, they do vegan

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: so well that like my guilty pleasure is vegan food.

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: Like if you like Colleen, where do you want to

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: go eat? I'm like sushi or vegan.

94
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: I can't get jiggy with sushi. I just can't for

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: some reason.

96
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm just such a nigga. I feel like it just

98
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense for me to eat sushi. I'm just

99
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: like bro, I'm just the nigga.

100
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: But if you eat sushi with like people in Hollywood,

101
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: they get the little pieces of fish.

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: Me.

103
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: If you come with me, just hang with me one time, like.

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: My fish dead and fried Christ.

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I agree with that, But I'm telling

106
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: you I order food where it's like I ordered the eel.

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: I always I love smoked eel, so it's not really wrong.

108
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: I've never even heard that.

109
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm not even trying to beg you, but let me

110
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: just let me show you how sushi's done one time.

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm with it. I like trying new stuff, but it

112
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: just it takes. It takes someone to be like, come on,

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I'm going to try new stuff on

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: my own, like I like it. I'm not that nigga

119
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Like, and we're good. You know what I mean? I

120
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: will definitely.

121
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Well, so you started in acting, Like what was your

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: first big thing? My first and how old were you?

123
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: I was about six years old. I want to say.

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: My first film was My Baby's Daddy with Eddie Griffin,

125
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 2: Anthony Anderson and Michael Imperial. That was my first film.

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: I played a kind of small role in it. I

127
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: played like Eddie Griffin's baby, Mama's little brother. And what's

128
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: crazy is for me like acting was never really in

129
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: the cards for me, Like I alway thought I was

130
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: would be a rapper, like I just always I've always

131
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: had a love for music. I've always rapped, Like I

132
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: got my start on the Apollo rapping. So when the

133
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: acting thing kind of kicked off, it was new to me,

134
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: but it was fun, you know what I mean? I

135
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: found I found fun in it, and I'm like, man,

136
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: this is something I could do, you know what I mean?

137
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: So from there, I did Tracy Morgan Show, which was

138
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: an NBC television show sitcom on NBC, and that was

139
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: probably like my first like big thing where I'm a

140
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: series regular. I'm in every episode and you know, I'm

141
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: kind of making my mark in Hollywood, I would say,

142
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: because you know what I mean? That was like me,

143
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: that's where I kind of made my name. Man, Like

144
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: people would tell me I stole the show like that

145
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: was like it was talks for me to do a

146
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: spinoff on me, but it was like, well, what do

147
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: we do? We do a spinoff on a fucking five

148
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: year old six six, seven year old without appearance like

149
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: what happens to live with his grandma? Like is he

150
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: a troubled seven year old all of a sudden? Like

151
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: so obviously didn't pan out, but yeah, like I think

152
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: that's when I realized, like I'm good at that shit.

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: So your mom kind of introduced you to it? Did

154
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: you come from a single.

155
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: I came from a single parent household by way of

156
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: my daddy being incarcerated, you know what I mean. But

157
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: at the same time, my daddy made his presence felt

158
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, And that's when they I

159
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: always commend my dad for God rest his soul. Like

160
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: no matter what prison I got, Christmas gift, Birthday gifts,

161
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: calls all time, all the time, Like I never if

162
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: nobody told me that my daddy was in jail. I

163
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: just thought, like, my daddy is in Kansas City. I'm

164
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles chasing this dream right now. But I

165
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: like if I would have never been told, like your

166
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: dad's incarcerated, Like my mom was never really wanted to

167
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: hide nothing from me and my little sister, Like she

168
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: was very open with telling us, I mean everything on

169
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: a need to know basis for the most part, like

170
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: she she felt like that was something we needed to know.

171
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: And you know what I mean, this is what's going on.

172
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: But it's all right. That don't mean your daddy not gonna,

173
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: don't love you, don't want to be in life. If

174
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: he's dealing with something right now, and you know what

175
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean, He'll be there when he can. But you know,

176
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like I said, my daddy did get

177
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: the best to make his presence felt from prison, and

178
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, my mama was amazing, Like

179
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: she was amazing and everything, being the in home parent

180
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: of mama and dad, you know what I mean, even though,

181
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: like I said, my dad wasn't absent, he just was incarcerated,

182
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But so I guess I

183
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: could say I had a single parent household, but not really,

184
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, because I did have both parents.

185
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, like it just was one of them

186
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: things where it was like my neighbor I used to

187
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: my mom used to work two jobs. She would come home,

188
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: she would be tired. And obviously I'm a kid with energy.

189
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: I want to go outside, I want to play. I

190
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: come from the era of playing outside. We had no

191
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: fucking iPads and dig yeah. Yeah the first we had

192
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: the big booty computers when I was a kid, like

193
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: the motherfucker that with the big back on the bay.

194
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, rich to have one of those.

195
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother, we want to Rich. My brother stole

196
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: the parts and put it together. Long line of criminal

197
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: activity in my life is line to you. So yeah,

198
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: so my neighbors man I used to go outside and

199
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: play with my neighbors all the time, and I would

200
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: always find myself kind of putting on the show for them,

201
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, whether I'm just rapping, I'm

202
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: just entertaining. I might be imitating my local pastor, you

203
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like that's I and from there,

204
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: like a lady by the name of Cynthia, who was

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: my neighbor. She was like one of the first people

206
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: to kind of see in me, what you I mean,

207
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: what other seeing in me later on down the line,

208
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: because every day after school, I would be outside with

209
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: her and her kids, and I would just be entertaining

210
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: the shit out of them. Like and it's crazy, because

211
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: I was so young, I can't really quite remember everything

212
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: that I was doing, but I can remember. I have

213
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: glimpses of, like I said, me imitating my pastor me

214
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: rapping whatever rap song. Like I said, at this time,

215
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm nothing about I'm not even in school. I'm like

216
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: coming on from daycare. I'm about four years old, maybe

217
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not even in

218
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: preschool yet. So I was advanced, like to know these

219
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: rap songs and to be able to, you know, me

220
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: catch on to them and rap them word for word,

221
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: Like I was four years old and I knew Little

222
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: Wayne the block is Hot from start to finish, like

223
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: couldn't like for one, like, Nigga, how do you even

224
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: how are you catching on of these words at four

225
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: years old?

226
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Like?

227
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: And Miss Cinthy used to always tell my mama like,

228
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: he's special, like you need to get him into some dinner.

229
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: It's something you need to put him into something, he's special.

230
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: When my mama don't see it. My mama's wrestling and

231
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: working and you know what I mean, and her my

232
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: time with Miss Cinthy is her kind of rest time

233
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: when I come in the House of Time where to

234
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: prepare dinner, get us ready for the next day, get

235
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: her ready for her next workday. So she didn't really

236
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: see it often. It wasn't until one day we was

237
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: riding the car and the Block Is Hot came on

238
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: the radio and I wrapped that motherfucker from start to finish,

239
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: And my mama looked back and was she was like nigga,

240
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: like surprised, like what the fuck? Like, cause, for one,

241
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 2: it was crazy because my mama didn't play rap music

242
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: in her car. My MoMA played strictly gospel music. So

243
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: once she was like, where the fuck did you hear

244
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: this at? And how are you hearing it enough to

245
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: be able to notice shit from start to finish like that,

246
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it caught her by surprise,

247
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: and I think from there that's what she knew, Like, Okay,

248
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: what these people are telling me about my son is true,

249
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: Like he's special, like she's you know, he's just a

250
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: kid with energy. He I mean, he's just a kid,

251
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: dude energy, and he's you know, I mean, y'all entertained

252
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: because he's not y'all kid, you know what I meaning.

253
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: So everybody's more entertained by other people kids than they own.

254
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: That's just natural, especially as a parent. Now I get

255
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: it now, Like my son, dudes, I'm like Nigga, you bad.

256
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: Other people like man, he's hilarious, he's funny, he's smart

257
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: as hell. I'm like, man, I do bad. So it's

258
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: just a difference. So with that, like after she seen

259
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: me or heard me rap that song, she kind of

260
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: took heed of what people were saying. And it just

261
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: so happened that the Apollo Theater was holding auditions in

262
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: my city. At the time, so they held an audition

263
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: at our local mall. I won the audition to go

264
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: represent Kansas City in New York, and from there, like

265
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: I said, it just took off. Like I said, from

266
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: they went Tracy from Ner went My Baby's Daddy, Tracy

267
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: Morgan Show. But like in between, I did all the

268
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: crazy talk shows, Sally Ricky Lake, Jenny Jones, like all

269
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: the talk shows that motherfucker's my age don't even remember existing.

270
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't even remember it existing if I wasn't

271
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: known the motherfucker, you know what I'm saying. Like, so

272
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy to be like the nostalgia that

273
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: like all the things I've done, like leading up to

274
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, where I got to and

275
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: where I am now, Like kind of crazy, But it

276
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: was it's dope to see like like my mama actually

277
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: believed in me, you know what I mean. Like it

278
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: started with my mama like she was like, oh no,

279
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: but once she's seen it for herself, she believed in me.

280
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: My mama had a career, she was a she was

281
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: a a r n she was a registered nurse. And

282
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: there's not it's not no bad job. There's not no

283
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: dead end job to where it's like, that's just a

284
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: job you throw away to go chase a pipe dream

285
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: and move to l a like.

286
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: And she did that.

287
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: She did that for me.

288
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: How old were you at the time I was?

289
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 2: I was I was about six or seven years old

290
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: at the time. I was young as hell. And the

291
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: people told her Kansas City, Missouri.

292
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: That's a big feat hell.

293
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, she packed up and the people told her, if

294
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: you leave, you can't come back.

295
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: What was the conversation between if you can recollect? Like,

296
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: what was the conversation between you and her at that age?

297
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Like, I just remember telling my mam, I'm gonna make

298
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: you richie. You don't never have to work no more.

299
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: At five or six, That's all I remember.

300
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: But that was the only thing that was said. And

301
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: like I said, my mama was still to this day,

302
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: she's she's deep in church christian She looked, she she

303
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: she she started to say something to me like boy,

304
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: and then she caught herself and looked and said, God,

305
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: I received it. And from there, you know what I mean.

306
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: She she took the necessary steps to make that that

307
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: dream and what that what I said to her, She

308
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: took a step to make that reality, you know what

309
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean. So like without my mama like believing and

310
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: really you know what I mean, giving up what she

311
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: what she was doing as far as working, and you

312
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean, making things happen like that, nothing

313
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: nothing goes, nothing shakes for me. Like like I said,

314
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: my mama was belief in me and belief in you

315
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: know what I mean, the fact that God put an anointing

316
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: on me at a young age to do something specially

317
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: like I said, I come from a long line of

318
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: all my mama's sons feelings like I come from.

319
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Fuck, how many siblings do you?

320
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: I got four brothers, the youngest. I'm the youngest boy.

321
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: You got eight?

322
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not all my mama. My mama got five

323
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: of them. Though. My mama got four boys with me included.

324
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: And then I got a little sister, so I'm the

325
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: second to youngest period.

326
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: So she moved the entire family.

327
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: No, because my older my older brother is ten years

328
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: older than me, twelve years older than me, fifteen years

329
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: older than me, so it was a large gap. So

330
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: by the time my career started, one of my brothers

331
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: was doing a ten year bid. The other two was

332
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: knee deep in the streets and she it wasn't no,

333
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: it wasn't no, rilling them back in at the time

334
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: they had made their decisions to be and I said,

335
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: they jump up to the porch young, my brother jump

336
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: up to porch thirteen fourteen. I said, at fifteen, my

337
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: brother called his first case and got sented to ten years.

338
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: So my oldest brother, you know what I mean. So

339
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: from there, So do.

340
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: You think also in her decision was like she had already.

341
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: Wanted something different. She was like, if I want something different,

342
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: I have to kind of help him see something different

343
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: because naturally I'm gonna want to be like my big

344
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: brothers run behind my big brothers.

345
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: That kind of similar to what kind of happened with

346
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart and his brother, Like I don't know if

347
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: you heard one of his own Like mom was like,

348
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm not.

349
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: Like you came because of what? Yeah, because of that,

350
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: And you.

351
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Think that's kind of like what your mom was like,

352
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna roll the dice on Bobby.

353
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Like she she took heed to what was

354
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: going on and she said, you know what I mean,

355
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna do something different, you know what

356
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: I mean? And show him something different and give him

357
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: a chance at being something different. Now, I did still

358
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: fuck up, just like my brothers. But that was my

359
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: own decision. That wasn't no situation like. That was me

360
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: just making dumb decisions down the line when I got older,

361
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: getting too big for my bridges in a sense, you

362
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But my mama did everything she

363
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: could to steer me in a whole different direction.

364
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so then now you're doing your acting thing. You

365
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: you land this big gig at six Yeah, now you

366
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: move before you land the gig. Correct.

367
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: We moved?

368
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I want to say we moved to La.

369
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: We was like looking for places in La shortly. No,

370
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: I was while I was auditioning. That's when I was

371
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: audition for the Tracy Morgan Show. We were staying at

372
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: a little motel called the night In Still there right

373
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: there on the Vinuenta. I want to say, that is

374
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: really right right by Universal Studios, Like we're staying right

375
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: there by the subway, by that place where people take

376
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: all the everybody take their head shots, like and in

377
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: the midst of us staying there. I had an audition

378
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: for Tracy Morgan Show, and I booked it. So from there,

379
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: but my mama had already lost her job because I

380
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: did a movie called Full Clip in Los Angeles. Matter

381
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: of fact, that's what I was in LA for when

382
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: I audition for Tracy Morgan Show. And once we finished filming,

383
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: I stayed a little longer to do some auditions and

384
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: try to get some things going because my mama knew, like,

385
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: there's nothing to go back to. We got this little

386
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: we got this my baby daddy money. We got the

387
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: Full Clip month with movie money, but eventually that's gonna

388
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: run out, especially the price of living in LA. She's like, man,

389
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: once I get to you know what I mean, getting

390
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: get us into a place and enroll them in school, be.

391
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Able to touch the money though, because I heard.

392
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's a percentage of it goes to

393
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: a trust fund. But you know what I mean, Yeah,

394
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: there's always you know what I mean, there's you need

395
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: something to live off of obviously, So yeah, like she

396
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: had a percentage, and you know what I mean, from there,

397
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: she once I did, once I audition for Tracy Morgan Show,

398
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: I booked it, and you know what I mean, that

399
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: was that was like okay, that was her way to exhale,

400
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: like okay, cool, Like it's paying off something that's gonna

401
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: be steady. We know, we got something that's gonna gonna

402
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 2: be to check every week. Like now we're we're she's comfortable.

403
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: She's like, okay, cool, I can breathe. I'm about seven now,

404
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: I'm freshly turning seven.

405
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: Did you at that age understand money? Yeah?

406
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: Hell no, I didn't understand money. I didn't know what

407
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: it meant. Ten you give me ten ten crisp dollar bills.

408
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm the richest kid in the world

409
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: because I come I come from nothing. I really come

410
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: from still, and I remember vividly it probably I had

411
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: to be three, I said, like, I come from a

412
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: long line of just fucking criminals. Man years old, we're

413
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: still in not the liquor store, at our neighborhood liquor store.

414
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: I'm three, probably four years old. I'm I'm seeing them still,

415
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: so I'm putting it in my pocket. Yeah, like it

416
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: just that's you know what I mean, that's what came natural.

417
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 2: And no, I'm seeing y'all do it. So that's what

418
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: we're doing. You know what I'm saying. That's that's the

419
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: one thing you got to see it. I got that

420
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: little crisp on, the little crispon the gotta have to crunch.

421
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: But at this young age, do you start to feel

422
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: any type of pressure. I guess that's what I'm trying

423
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: to get it, Like, did you feel any type of pressures?

424
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: Like And that's another thing that credits No, that's nothing

425
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: that that's a credit to my mama because one of

426
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: the first things she told me before shit even got

427
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: to like a point where it was like, let's say,

428
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: like to where it was big and it was getting

429
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: like colossal in a way, like she made sure to

430
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: let me know, like, if you ever stop having fun

431
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: with this shit, we're done with this shit, okay, Like

432
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: she told me that from Jump Street. The moment it's

433
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: not fun for you no more, you let me know,

434
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: and it's over with the moment. You just want to

435
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: go back to being a regular kid to go to school,

436
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: and that's what we'll do. So I always had that

437
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: freedom to be like, whether I'm failing succeeding, whether it's

438
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: going my way not going my way, I can say

439
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: fuck this shit, and my mama gonna behind me because

440
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: she's not moved by the money she's not moved by

441
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: with the shit that enticed most parents when it comes

442
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: to having their kids in Hollywood, Like because it was

443
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: never my mama's plan to do this. This was something

444
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: that she just it was God's plan, and my mam

445
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: will follow God's plan. But this was never her plan.

446
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: She's like, it makes me no never mind, because if

447
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: I got to I'm gonna go back to work and I'm

448
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: gonna provide for minds. That was always her attitude about it.

449
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: Like it was never no if ans or butts about

450
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: it with my mama. So that made any type of

451
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: pressure kind of subside, any type of pressure that could

452
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: have been there. It was like, there ain't no way

453
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: because I don't got her. You feel me, It ain't

454
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: shit I gotta do but say, I'm done with this shit,

455
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: and I can literally be done with this shit. Ain't

456
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: nobody gonna be forcing me. Like a lot of child

457
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: actors didn't have that to where their parents put them

458
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: before the money. You know what I'm saying, Like my

459
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: mama put me before the money, and like that's kind

460
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: of why I shaped and molded how I came how

461
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: I am, Like I'm humble, I'm kind of I'm down

462
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: on earth for the most part, Like I'm not really

463
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: because I've never been raised that the money was everything.

464
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: I've always been raised like moral, those principles, you know

465
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: what I mean, what you stand for, what you stand

466
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: on is what means the most. You know what I'm saying. Family,

467
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: That's what means. I mean, like ship like that, Like

468
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: that's just how it was brought up. Yeah, So there

469
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: was never really no pressure on my on my part ever,

470
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: for real, I don't think so. Yeah, not that I

471
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: could ever remember. I don't never remember. Pressure started once

472
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: I got older. I started to put pressure on myself

473
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: when I got older too, to live up to everything

474
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: and all they to compress as a young bull. I'm like,

475
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do nothing less than that. Now.

476
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: I did so much great as a young good it's

477
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: not good enough no more.

478
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, was there ever a gap

479
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: in between you being a young guy that was clearly

480
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: very successful in his career, Like was there a gap

481
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: where there was?

482
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, was like Nigga fucked Bobby Jay where they

483
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,919

484
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 2: they spit me out absolutely.

485
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: And what did that feel like, and what was your

486
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: thought process through that? It was are you good?

487
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: You're good? I was probably about, I say, probably a

488
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: freshman in high school is when shit really started like

489
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 2: slowing down and it came to like a damnar complete

490
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: stop at a time, like it was it shit just

491
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: wasn't popping, Like it wasn't going like it. Shit wasn't popping.

494
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: And like for me, it was like, damn, like what

495
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: am I doing wrong? In a sense, you know what

496
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm saying? I questioned myself like damn, am I not

645
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,199

654
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 2: where I went wrong at You know what I mean?

655
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: But as a young, arrogant nigga that just think I

00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: know it all, and you know what I mean, I

Speaker 2: this time they missed three days of work, so that

661
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: means three days of filming had to be rearranged based

662
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: off of my stupid ass decision. I mean, I wouldn't

663
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: really say it was a stupid decision. It was a

664
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: decision where like it was a young decision, and like

665
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: I can't say I wouldn't make the same decision today.

00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: you that I can't. You could do ten seasons of

804
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: this show. You still wouldn't have enough money to replace

805

Speaker 2: what what it just cost me to work around you

806
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: being in jail because you're doing some dumb shit. In

807
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: my mind, I said, I feel like it wasn't no

808
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: dumb shit like I was. I was doing what I

809
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: feel like my dog would have did for me if

810
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: it was were reversed. Like, like, my loyalty has always

811
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: been one of my biggest downfalls in my wife. I

812
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: feel like I've always been loyal to I won't say

813
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: the wrong people, but I've always been loyal to a fault,

814
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And I've picked the wrong

815
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: time to display my lawyer when it's like sometimes you're like, look, brother,

818
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: Like my mama don't got no job at the time.

819
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,880

00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 2: very aware of the fact that their little brother's on TV.

823
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: Mama got different. Mama has funds and access to money

00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,319

00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: to set with your brother. I put you on the

833
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: on the payroll as his handler. One gonna be his handler.

834
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: That wont gonna be my personal assistant, and you know

835
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: what I mean. But they wasn't with that, Like, man,

836
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm I'm thugging for real, like in the streets with this.

837
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: We're in the streets with this shit. So it's like

838
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: they they the measure, they took it. They went and

839
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: robbed the banks, so they gone, they doing time at

840
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: the time, you know what I mean. So it's like

841
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: everything depending on me. If I would have if I knew,

842
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: if I knew what I know now, I said, I

843
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: probably would have still found a way to help him

844
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: get that car back without his mama knowing and not

845
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: left him hanging the word, because at the end of

846
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: the day, I'm thinking in my head, like if you

847
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: get in trouble for this car being here, I'm still

848
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: I'm fucked too. Like regardless fast, it's literally nigga me

849
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 2: getting this car back. Say both of y'all, say both

850
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: of our ass because my MoMA like, s, so, what

851
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: the fuck y'all been doing with this car?

852
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: All?

853
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 2: They nigga? So so you what you told him to

854
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: come take his mama car and bring it to you.

855
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: I'm guilty by association regardless. So it's like, nigga, I

856
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 2: gotta say both of our ass you know what I mean.

857
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: That's how I was thinking about it. But like now

858
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 2: that I'm older, I probably be like, man, brother, look

859
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: we about to find a cab driver. I'm gonna pay

860
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: this cab driver to drive you and your mama car home.

861
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: I know something with another alternative.

862
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's it's a slippers. So you have

863
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: these moms that are very caring and loving, right, and

864
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: you have your friendship to your friend. And I'm not

865
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: knocking any of the moms, and it was good that

866
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: they instilled the fear they did. But if you really

867
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: look at the root of the problem is it's kind

868
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: of like you're scared at your mama. And again not

869
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: knocking because I think my mom had this conversation with me.

870
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: I have a two year old, and she said, you know,

871
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: do you have enough control over her if she has

872
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: to cross the street and you say stop, you know,

873
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: don't cross. Will she be able to stop? And I

874
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: knew the answer was absolutely not, Like what never happened.

875
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: My daughter was like, but but but I say that

876
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 4: to say that I get you looking back and saying

877
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: I would do it all again because of these these

878
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: moral standards.

879
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: And I have the same problem. By the way, I'm

880
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: loyal to a fault like you could. I'll be like, well,

881
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: they whatever, But but I will say this though, but

882
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: if you look at it, the things that you guys

883
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: were running from was like the pure fear of your

884
00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: moms from your mother.

885
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: The trouble for my mamas ain't ain't as bad as

886
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: the trouble.

887
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: Trouble that you guys got it.

888
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: If I look bad like me, we might to take

889
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: these little ass woomen being punish me can't hang out

890
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: for yeah, a week or two. But it's like nigga,

891
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: we will find a way to still hang out her.

892
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: But you can also, you know, if you look at psychology,

893
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: I always say, like, you know, young brains, they're not

894
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: fully mature, they're not weighing out all the options. And

895
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: I can see where it's like I was terrified of

896
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: my mom nigga, I would have done I would have

897
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: gotten my mom. So I get it. But going back

898
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: to the Tyler Perry situation, and it's good that you

899
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: talk about it and you're going back and forth because

900
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: I think it really gets us to see like your

901
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: your core character, like where your values are at. Like

902
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: I thought about it a hundred times. Would I have

903
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: done it again? Yeah I would.

904
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 2: I just probably would have did it a little different differently,

905
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: even thought it's not what you do is how you

906
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: do it, So I would have probably switched away. I

907
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: went about it. Yeah, somebody like like I said, I was,

908
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: I'm a young nigga. I'm fifteen years old, but I

909
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 2: got a debit card, I'm having I got a amount

910
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: of money on my car. So I been like, Bro,

911
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: there got to be an adult with a dry I

912
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: can pay bro, drive this car to this location. Don't

913
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: go a step further.

914
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: But I think there's there were so many things like

915
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: even when you hear the story, it's like you have

916
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: this young person who's acquired some kind of status, who

917
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: has friends of status. You know, even when you guys

918
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: get arrested and you're like around each other. I remember

919
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: being like fifteen or sixteen, And the first time I

920
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: recursed was like behind my mom's back. She walks in

921
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: the room, she catches me cursing. But I'm amongst my

922
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: friends like that, F and B. I don't remember the words,

923
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: but all of those. My mom walked in and I said,

924
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is the day I die.

925
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: You know.

926
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: But when you get around your friends at that age,

927
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm big and bad, you know. And that's

928
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: the part of being growing up, growing up right, so

929
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: logical everything you did seems like totally rational at your age.

930
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: And then and then a fifteen year old with responsibilities,

931
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: who's working, who's earning his own money, who's providing for

932
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: his family. But take me back.

933
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: His attention was like get it done and get to work.

934
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, get to get it done, get to work. But

935
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: Tyler Pierr has this conversation. Does he fire you at

936
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: the end of the conversation.

937
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: No, he has a conversation with me, and I think

938
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: I finished, I do my filming whatever. They shoot my

939
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: scenes out for that day and I'm gone. They flew

940
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: me out like the next day. So it was it

941
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: was a silent firing. The firing part was silent. I

942
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: just had to get the picture. Oh nigga, they don't.

943
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: I'm not coming back, like they're done with me. And

944
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: it was it was people that was upset about it though,

945
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: because they were like, bro, he's a kid. You gotta

946
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: this is your This is the opportunity to be you

947
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean to to to to kind of be.

948
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: I said, my daddy was in my life for show.

949
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: But it's like, this is the opportunity to give him

950
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: that that lessons as a man, that that's that he

951
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 2: looks up to that as a man, Like I do

952
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: feel like he could have went about it differently. They'll

953
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: cost you money, yeah, but money all that that shit.

954
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 2: Come back the opportunity to teach a lesson to a

955
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: young black man that comes from nothing, just like you

956
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: come from nothing, and and and it showed me like, no, bro,

957
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: come on now, you can't. I feel like I feel

958
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: like he could have took that opportunity and did a

959
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: little bit differently.

960
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: I did see Tyler Perry's documentary. Did you ever get

961
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: to see it?

962
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: I haven't watched the whole thing, but I do his

963
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: story just from working with him.

964
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Kind of I didn't know his story, but I do

965
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: know like I remember when I first moved to La

966
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: hearing about his plays or whatever. People are like talking

967
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: about this guy who had this play, and it was

968
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: like maybe a tape that was going around or something,

969
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: or I just remember people talking about it. But when

970
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: I saw the documentary and everything he went through, I

971
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: think that I don't know if, especially as a teenager,

972
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: like it's sometimes grace can be a slippery slope. You

973
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: give someone grace.

974
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I would appreciate it. The

975
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 2: reason probably would have kept sucking up.

976
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's it's a slippery slope, and I'm learning

977
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: that as an adult, Like you can give grace, but

978
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: it's a slippery slope because there's a thin line between

979
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: grace and disrespect. Sometimes.

980
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 2: I just you know, like if the roles were reversed

981
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: and I'm in that position, I take that young nigga

982
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: under my wing.

983
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: Like nah, I would have been like, I'm gonna make

984
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: sure you.

985
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: Don't fuck up no more, Nigga'm about to show you

986
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: some ship that we're like, Nigga, you know, like I

987
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: gotta get to this, but also I gotta get to that.

988
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 2: So I know the only way to get to that

989
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: is the following the foot he I gotta not fuck

990
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: up in the more, follow in these footstep, like show

991
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: a young nigga away, Bro, I'm a young nigga that

992
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: really come from nothing. Every nigga I ever looked up

993
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: to them being is a feling my daddy, every last

994
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: one of my I got one brother that ain't a

995
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: fella and he lives in fucking Australia and I and

996
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: before he lived in Australia, he went to college and

997
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: fucking South or North Dakota or something like that. And like,

998
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: we got the same daddy, not the same mama. So

999
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: we're close, but we weren't in the same household. Every

1000
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 2: man in the household that I came up in. That

1001
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 2: was my example. Nigga, thug it out until you can't

1002
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: no more. Like that's just what I knew. That's what

1003
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 2: I That's still just what I know, you know what

1004
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean, Like that's just how I was, That's how

1005
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: I was brought up in a sense, like my mama

1006
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: did her absolute best. But it's a young man is

1007
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: not going to model himself after his mother. Yeah, no,

1008
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: it's impossible. I'm gonna model myself after the men in

1009
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: my life. Look up to me. Like I said, my brother,

1010
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: the closest brother I got to my age, is ten

1011
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: years older than me. So when I was born, he

1012
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 2: was ten years old. By the time I'm able to

1013
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 2: really pay attention to what he's doing, he's thirteen, fourteen,

1014
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: and then I got a sixteen. I got an eighteen

1015
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: at eighteen, bro gone doing ten years old, just done

1016
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 2: doing ten years I remembered vividly the police coming and

1017
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: knocking on my mama door taking him away. I remember

1018
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: that seeing that, probably five years old. Maybe I might

1019
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 2: have been four.

1020
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, I.

1021
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 2: Was young at shit like. I remember seeing that vividly.

1022
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: I remember seeing the police kicking the door in my

1023
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: daddy house and take my daddy to jail, foot on

1024
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: my daddy neck, foot on my brother. I remember seeing that.

1025
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: Everything that I seen and everything that everybody I looked

1026
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: up to was full fledged gangsters like I ain't. That's

1027
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 2: just all I've ever had to look up to was

1028
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 2: niggas that were in the streets. I've never really had

1029
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: nobody that was on a positive path take me under

1030
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: their wing and be like this the way it goes.

1031
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: A little bro, Now to your career now because I

1032
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: know you're and I don't want to speak on I

1033
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: really don't like to speak bump. But since we know

1034
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: some of the same people, you have someone like Nile

1035
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: or Nick. Yeah, nigas one of those people like he

1036
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: sees something in you. I want to say, niggas the.

1037
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 2: Nick I'm a fuck up. Huh, Nick think I'm a

1038
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: fuck up?

1039
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm gonna say this.

1040
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 2: I feel like Nick loves me but keeps me at

1041
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: a distance because he feels like I'm a liability. I

1042
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: think that's just me being honest.

1043
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: So I feel so.

1044
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 2: Nick loved the shit out of me, though, but it's

1045
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: like he think I feel like he thinks I'm too

1046
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: hard headed. I don't think he feel like I don't

1047
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: listen or I won't listen. But like Nigga, you never

1048
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: really told me nothing to listen to.

1049
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because I feel like I worked with Nick

1050
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: for like ten years, and I would see Nick joke

1051
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: with like a lot of people around me. We were

1052
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: very close in age. I think everyone Nick surround himself

1053
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: for the most part, are like twenty years older than him,

1054
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: like you know or now.

1055
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 2: He's always like now, Nick has always been a little bros.

1056
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 2: So Nick has never been the big brody like, nah,

1057
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 2: come here, my nigga, but he doesn't now he has

1058
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: now like more so like more recently. But I think

1059
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: for me, like I think Nick just think I'm so

1060
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: far gone. But it's like, Nigga, I just am who

1061
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: I am. If you take some time to have a

1062
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: conversation with Bobby J. The man, because you know Bobby J.

1063
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: The kid, and you can't understand how that kid you

1064
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: knew turn in But Nigga, you gotta understand I was

1065
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: a kid that was trained to be the keys.

1066
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: But that's what I want to I want to. I

1067
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: want to say this about him because I worked with

1068
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: him for ten years and he would joke with everybody.

1069
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: He you know, he I'd be lying to say, Nick,

1070
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: he's closer my age group. Whether or not I thought

1071
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: he was okay or attractive looking was whatever, But I

1072
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: just knew because we're around the same age. We work together,

1073
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: you know industry be like, oh they I cook it up,

1074
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: and so we were very very business or whatever. Yeah,

1075
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: but I remember like the one or two times where

1076
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: Nick was like, you're fucking up. Yeah, and his you know,

1077
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: never ever had no real conversation, but there was one

1078
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: or two conversations where he was like, you may want

1079
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: to reconsider some of your your moves, you know. And

1080
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: so I think just personality wise, he's one of those

1081
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: people that he don't really mentor he's not even.

1082
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: Like your best friend personality.

1083
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he had.

1084
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: More so like I will now i'd be like, let

1085
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: me tell you something.

1086
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody had my back morning now, but now sometimes

1087
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: can stab me in the like our last conversation he

1088
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: says something and I didn't take his car after this,

1089
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: and you know he don't listen, thank god, he don't

1090
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: listen to all my episodes. But but now I think

1091
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: it's a straight shooter. And when you when the chips

1092
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: are down, I don't give a fuck if you work

1093
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: with now you never had a real conversation with him.

1094
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: He is that nigga that you can be like, he gonna.

1095
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 2: Take I'd have been in jail, fucked up. Now he

1096
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: paid pound of money. Yeah, now lawyer money.

1097
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: Hey did you you know Dorian two?

1098
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:33,959
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?

1099
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: All them niggas is uh solid, I would say all them.

1100
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: And but I think the way Nick moves is I

1101
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: think he pays attention to And I've said this to people.

1102
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: I think he trusts no one and he watches everybody

1103
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: so like you'll be like I walked in the room,

1104
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 1: he didn't even say hi. It's like Nick knew you

1105
00:46:50,400 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 1: were there before you entered the building. Like every move

1106
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: is his chest and he doesn't do the controversial stuff absolutely,

1107
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: And like I said, the only two times he's ever

1108
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: pulled me to the side when it was like a

1109
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: for sure fuck up, and it was a very short

1110
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: like you may want to reroute because this could end bad.

1111
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: I've got I've got.

1112
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: That from now. I've never even got that from Nick

1113
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: to be like, hey bro, what the fuck? Like you tripping?

1114
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: Nigga figured that out, you know what I mean. But now,

1115
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 2: on the other hand, it's been like come here. But

1116
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 2: now at the same time, now has a better understanding

1117
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: of who I am, my what I like, my trauma,

1118
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: what causes me to be. He got a better understanding

1119
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: of that than than Nick. Does you know what I'm saying, Like,

1120
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 2: so I can. That's why I feel like now it's

1121
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 2: easier for to be able to come to me like

1122
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 2: hey man, what the fuck is you doing?

1123
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: You tripped me?

1124
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: I know that this is the circumstance. I know this happened.

1125
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: I know this happened. To know that happened. But nigga,

1126
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: everything that happened has nothing to do with the next

1127
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 2: ten years of your life, the decisions you're finna make

1128
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 2: and how you set yourself up a success or failure. Yeah, yeah,

1129
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 2: and you know what I mean. Like I said, I

1130
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 2: apprecialize that there's nothing there's nothing bad about it. It's

1131
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 2: just Nick is not the mentoring type. And that's cool,

1132
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean, Yeah, it's just for me.

1133
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: I've always looked at Nick like big brother, because I've

1134
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 2: known the niggas since I.

1135
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: Was like, hey, you've been around, Yeah, you've been.

1136
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: Around, Like I made Nika the Kids Choice Awards, and

1137
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: you can find the pictures on Google, Like if you

1138
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: call Google my name and google Bobby Nick and you'll

1139
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 2: find the picture of Nick with a big stupid baggy

1140
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 2: jersey on some fucking headband neck braids.

1141
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: But I will say this, and I told my little

1142
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: brother this when he was working. Nick was like, I

1143
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: think just just just because I've been kind of in

1144
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: the offices versus on sets, I'll just say, like observation

1145
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: I told legal this, like, if you're in the room,

1146
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: he fucks with you, and he believes in you, period

1147
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: you period. If you are in the room, he made

1148
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: that exactly a decision. Nick has always believe than you.

1149
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: I just think, like I said, he has that million

1150
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: layers of fencing around him as he should. As he

1151
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: should because if you know his story, it's like, yeah, nigga,

1152
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: I would have a million layers of fencing. But to

1153
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: go back to your story, did you eventually I know

1154
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned now, but did you start to seek out

1155
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: mentors at some point or did you just stumble upon you.

1156
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: I ain't gotten and I'll just be learning as I

1157
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: go for real, like I learned from my mistakes. I

1158
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: bump my head and I know, like I don't want

1159
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: that same not right there in the middle of my

1160
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: forehead no more. So let me figure it out. Like

1161
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 2: I've never I said, my dad was always a person

1162
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 2: that gave game. But by the time me and my

1163
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: daddy got to be like where it was because I

1164
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: was in LA a lot of years. I wasn't in

1165
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: Kansas City, but my dad. When my daddy did get

1166
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: out of prison, I was living in Los Angeles. He

1167
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: was in Kansas City, and then by the time I

1168
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: came back home, I'm already smoking weed. I'm already kind

1169
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 2: of doing my own thing. I'm already kind of shaping

1170
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: and molding myself into who I believe that I want

1171
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: and who I'm supposed to be. So, you know what

1172
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 2: I mean, My daddy couldn't do really couldn't really do

1173
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 2: much but advise and and you know what I mean,

1174
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 2: kind of sit there. And then that's another thing my daddy.

1175
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: My daddy was person like nigga, gonna have to You're

1176
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: gonna have to bump your head because you're hard headed.

1177
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: That I've always been hard headed, Like I was a

1178
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: hard headed kid. I was a hard headed teenager. So,

1179
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: like I said, I've always learned from my own experience.

1180
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I don't think I think

1181
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: if somebody was to be like, now, come here, nigga,

1182
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: learned from learn what I'm about to tell you, learn

1183
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: what I'm about to show you, I wouldn't. I wouldn't

1184
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: be opposed to that.

1185
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: Now do you think that that person would have to be?

1186
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: Because I know what mentors. I'm a die hard mentor freak.

1187
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: I mentor people, and I'm like everyone, I know, you

1188
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: get a mentor. But I think with men and what

1189
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: I've seen over the years when men is like, I

1190
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: feel like, it can't just be any guy that.

1191
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 2: Look up to somebody that you can see you're somebody

1192
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 2: that's where you want to be or further or somebody

1193
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 2: that you like. Okay, yeah, I can listen to you

1194
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 2: because you got the formula to go where I'm trying

1195
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 2: to go or be for You've been where I where

1196
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: I'm in the direction I'm headed, you know what I mean.

1197
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: Like like, but it's hard, But.

1198
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: It's also not just that, it's like, can you relate

1199
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: to where I'm from? It has to be the cocktail, right,

1200
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: especially I think for a black man, it has to

1201
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: be that cocktail of you know, you can't just be

1202
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: successful and you came from money. It has to be

1203
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: you successful and your dad and similar to my dad,

1204
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: and then we could talk about you mentoring me, right,

1205
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: Is that in my correctness?

1206
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? For sure for sure? Okay, so yeah, definitely, that's

1207
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 2: definitely a big part of it, for sure, right. And

1208
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: I think that's why, like I would, I think that's

1209

Speaker 2: why like for me, I personally like damn, like I

1220
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 2: you're doing. And at this time, niggas probably fresh off

1221
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 2: a drum line like this. This is like young Nick,

1222
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: like this is this.

1223
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Two thousand it's two thousand and five, Like you know

1224
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

1225
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 2: Like this is this young boy like and I'm super

1226
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: super young bull. So it's like I said, I think,

1227
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 2: I think eventually a conversation will be had, but it's

1228
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 2: like the nigga doesn't have time for conversation. Like sometimes

1229
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 2: the nigga's so busy he don't even have times down

1230
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 2: and talk to you. He barely like what's up? He

1231
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 2: barely has time to sit down and talk to himself

1232
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: here his own thoughts sometimes because it's always something a

1233
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: phone call or a conference call of meeting. So it's

1234
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: like it's not nothing again, there's nothing that he's doing

1235
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 2: wrong or bad. It's just like Nigga. Sometimes it doesn't

1236
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 2: go the way it's supposed to. But I said, I'm

1237
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 2: then at thirty years old, Like I shouldn't need that,

1238
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like I should be able

1239
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: to well, I shouldn't even need it, but it's it's

1240
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 2: good to have it. I shouldn't need it. I should

1241
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: be able to see where I'm going or I'm headed,

1242
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: and what I need to do wrong, I mean, what

1243
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 2: I need to do differently to get what I'm trying

1244
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 2: to get. At this age in my life, it shouldn't

1245
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 2: be no like at in your early like seventeen eighteen

1246
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: year I feel like it's needed, it's kind of needed

1247
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: to have that, especially because becoming a man is different,

1248
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 2: like it it's becoming a man that that's a different monster.

1249
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: Like when you're really finding out who you are as

1250
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 2: a man versus who you thought you were or who

1251
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: you who you who you wanted to be with it's

1252
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: kind of face like, no, this is who you are,

1253
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Like, I've always wanted to

1254
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 2: be the completely upstanding, straightforward citizen nigga, no trouble whatever.

1255
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 2: And I never wanted to be a felon or you

1256
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: I mean, nigga that and broke the law or somebody

1257
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: that you know what i mean, been in jail or whatever.

1258
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: I've never wanted to be that, but that was just

1259
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: what I had a favoriteality, Like, Nigga, that is who

1260
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: I am. That's not that I mean, that's that's that

1261
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 2: is who I am or who I became. But that

1262
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be the end of the story. I

1263
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 2: can grow from that. But it's like, Nigga, what necessary

1264
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 2: steps do you got to take within yourself to grow

1265
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: from that? You know what I'm saying. So that's where

1266
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm in life now, just figuring out the things I

1267
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 2: got to do differently to grow and to elevate, you

1268
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 2: know what i mean, without somebody being like, oh here, bro,

1269
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: come on, I'm gonna show you the way. Fuck that, nigga,

1270
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: show yourself the way. You've been showing yourself the way,

1271
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 2: and you done got damn far. You may be as

1272
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 2: far as you wanted to go with your lot.

1273
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: Fust I was gonna say, yeah, if you look at

1274
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: I think I've seen a video online and I'm gonna

1275
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: butcher it. But it was like a video where all

1276
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: these kids were wanting a race, and I think they

1277
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: had different kids starting at different starting points, and the

1278
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: kids that were less privileged started from way further back.

1279
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: So when you look at your race, you've done amazing.

1280
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, when I got the opportunity to interview you,

1281
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: it's kind of beautiful because it was like, I've worked

1282
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: with you, but i've seen more like crossing paths. I

1283
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: don't think we've ever really had conversations, but it's kind

1284
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: it's beautiful when you get someone of your caliber into

1285
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: our studio and it's just like you see the growth

1286
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: and you don't know how that person's gonna come off.

1287
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: You don't know if they're gonna be like cocky, arrogant

1288
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: or you know. I've seen people come in here like

1289
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: you've never been broke. It's amazing, you know, she I'd have.

1290
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 2: Been up, back down, back up again. Damn I'm slipping

1291
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 2: and falling, but I ain't down yet. I'm back, man,

1292
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: I haven't seen every walk of this ship.

1293
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: And you've and you've managed. Now, how have you been

1294
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: managing your money and stuff? Has that been? When did

1295
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: you start to really learn how to manage it?

1296
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: She when the nigga started catching cases and lawyer fees

1297
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 2: and bond money, and she like that started like damn, nigga,

1298
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: but you just about to chain last month.

1299
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: But wait cases for what, dumb chef? Okay, so like

00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: keeping But.

Speaker 2: I mean, like I called, I called a gun case.

1302
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 2: And then before that, I caught a case before I

1303
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 2: got in a fistfight and broke the boy jaw. And

1304
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 2: because of the jaw being broken, it was a great

1305
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: bodily injury and it became a felony and blah blah blah.

1306
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 2: And like I said, because I was poorly managing my money,

1307
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't afford I couldn't afford to pay lawyer until

1308
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 2: far down the line, and I went on. I went

00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: is the plan?

00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: Man?

00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: And and is there really can there ever really be

1372
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: a plan in this entertainment business, because I feel like

1373
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm say, yeah.

1374
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: This should be so iffy dog like unless you're a

1375
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 2: nigga with like unless you're a nigga with like a

1376
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: like a Kevin Hard or like a Nick where you

1377
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 2: got a production and you can you can go and

1378
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 2: put some money behind what you want to do it.

1379
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 2: It's really hard to have a plan for this side

1380
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 2: of the ship, Like you know what I mean, Like

1381
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: I said, then, my real love is music, like if

1382
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 2: the person has me what my playing myself at selling

1383
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: arenas doing what I really and genuinely truly love to do.

1384
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: That when you say music like rap music or okay,

1385
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: so like.

1386
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: That's that's always been me and like because for me,

1387
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: like when I rap, it gives people an inside and

1388
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 2: looked like y'all have seen, y'all know that y'all fell

1389
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: in love with these roles I've played. Y'all have seen me.

1390
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: Y'all claim y'all seen me grow up, but not really,

1391
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: y'all seen the roles I played growing up, But y'all don't.

1392
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 2: Y'all didn't get see me. Y'a didn't go home with

1393
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: me when the cameras went off, y'all didn't see y'all

1394
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 2: didn't know what my reality was. Y'all just knew what

1395
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 2: y'all seen on TV. So it's like that music always

1396
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 2: gives people kind of the inside look because I'm not

1397
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 2: rapping as nobody else but Bobby. So the shit I'm

1398
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 2: talking about, the shit I'm speaking on. Should I really

1399
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 2: live through? Sh'all really did to survive? Should I really

1400
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: had to go through? Should I already learn from spots

1401
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: where I already bumped my head, like that's giving the

1402
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 2: people the chance to really get to know me. And

1403
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 2: I feel like that's important for people to really know

1404
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 2: who Bobby is because so many people haven't misconstrued based

1405
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: off of what y'all watched me do on TV for

1406
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: the longest time, Like they just think, oh, this nigga

1407
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 2: was a silver spoon kid.

1408
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: He had it all good, he was, especially when you

1409
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: start that young.

1410
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, Nigga think it's all good.

1411
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: You know. For one, Listen, you don't get in Hollywood

1412
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,400

1414
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 2: they giving out now, Nigga's becoming a millionaire in a year,

1415
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Like year year top. You do some cool shit on

1416
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 2: you get a buzz on the internet, you're a millionaire

1417
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: immediately there in there. If not a millionaire, you damn close.

01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 2: They gonna keep you pumping and working, and like the

1419
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 2: internet is so powerful now. The Internet was just becoming

1420
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: a thing when I came up, So it wasn't like

1421
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 2: and you couldn't go and you couldn't go and grab

1422
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 2: your own audience. The only time you had an audience

1423
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 2: is when then people put you in front of one.

1424
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,919
Speaker 1: And even with the Internet, I noticed it's like how

1425
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: fast you take to it? Like the new, the new

1426
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: uh whatever, drop, It's like you gotta switch over. It's

1427
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: a very tricky thing because now it's like it's industry

1428
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: versus Internet. Don't you kind of feel like that. It's

1429
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: like motherfucker may get cast it because he has two

1430
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 1: million followers or you know, like it's kind of weirder.

1431
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Certain and certain situations. But there's certain people that be

1432
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 2: like that. I feel a genuinely talented that are on

1433
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 2: the Internet, and I feel like they deserve.

1434
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Of course a lot. You know, a lot of those

1435
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:56,800

1439
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,919
Speaker 2: for the industry. How can I be mad or feel

01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Well. I feel like now even more so now though

1493
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not even it's a trick. We're

1494
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 1: in a different age because back then it was about

1495
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: the flashiness. Right now it's like you you ain't gotta

1496
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: have flash, but if you have fifteen thousand followers, that's

1497
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: your new flash. It's so weird. It's a wird.

1498
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: The cloud.

1499
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: The cloud is tricking people because there's so many people.

1500
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: I even know that they got two cents to rub together,

1501
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: but they they cloud in it. And I'm like, yo,

1502
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: your bank account, whether you can put a roof over

1503
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: your head, that's really your reality, you know. And I

1504
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: think it's hard to live in a reality when social

1505
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: media allows us to paint these images of happiness and progress.

1506
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: And you've seen like people on social media they don't

1507
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: even have half the shit, and they taking pictures next

1508
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: to the shit, and the gas can.

1509
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: Live next to everybody else. And she's like, yeah, I

1510
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: seen it, Like I said, I learned so much. Like

1511
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 2: I said, That's why I'm thankful for my down years,

1512
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 2: because it taught me so much. It built character, It

Speaker 1: Bro speaking of survival lot, I really want to get

1612
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: into this part because I don't think it's talked about

1613
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: enough on one of the recent episodes that someone touched

1614
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,560
Speaker 1: on this. But I really want to highlight this part

1615
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: because because of the fugazis in the world, which is

1616
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: money in the industry, Like one minute, you're up one minutes,

1617
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: you're down as a person that is riding the wave

1618
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: of the unknown, but believing in themselves. You're in this,

1619
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: You're you're already on the roller coaster. How are you

1620
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: managing your finances? Are you setting budgets and then just

1621
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: saying don't go over it? Are you doing reserves like

1622
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: I want.

1623
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 2: To get it. That's kind of where I'm at right now,

1624
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 2: setting budgets, trying to make sure, Okay, this is what

1625
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 2: this is what I need to spend on me, this

1626
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 2: is what the response abilities this is. You know what

1627
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I put this to the side because for

1628
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 2: my son, my daughter, you know what I mean. I'm

1629
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 2: trying to just figure out, not really figured out, but

1630
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: that's what I mean with just budgeting and the pecking

1631
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 2: order of what's the most important, you know what I mean. Like,

1632
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, you always do, you always do

1633
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 2: for you always take care of yourself. But what's more

1634
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 2: important than what things and causes are bigger than you,

1635
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 2: Bigger than keep keeping my keeping my kids, make sure

1636
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 2: my kids is good. That's the biggest things. So like

1637
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 2: you get those things and you put that over here

1638
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 2: and in tier that's like tier one, that's Tier one,

1639
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 2: that's top tier, that's what's on top. And then you

1640
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 2: got tier two, uh you know what I mean, groceries

1641
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 2: and making sure your house is filled with things that

1642
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 2: you need and necessities. And then you get the tier

1643
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: three like okay, yeah, tennis shoes and ship like that

1644
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: when it makes sense, don't just go out buying. Don't

1645
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 2: go out on the five thousand dollars shoe shoppings because

1646
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 2: you know you can afford to do it, because at

1647
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 2: any given moment that five thousand and you just spend

1648
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 2: on Michael Jordan's shoes. Michael Jordan's gonna get you a

1649
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 2: dam of it back if you fucked up. Yeah, you

1650
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,639

1651
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 2: this year, and now I can't pay my rent or

1652
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 2: I can't get my son done for Christmas? Can you

1653
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 2: can you spot me five thousand and then you know

1654
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I'm about some more shoes next year? Mike, Yeah, you

1655
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 2: can't do that, bro. So so that's Royn May with

1656
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: like just budgeting and making sure like even though the

1657
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 2: account says this, that don't mean spend that. I don't

1658
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 2: give a fuck. The account may say one hundred thousand

1659
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,080

1661
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: you got to spend that. Figure out, figure out a

1662
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 2: way to keep most of that for a rainy day.

1663
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Because I don't seen a lot of rainy days, and

1664
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 2: a lot of my rainy days because of poor money management.

1665
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 2: I had to call on others and be like, hey,

Speaker 2: help me out, you know what I mean, and come

1667

1691
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,920

1692
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 2: you fuck up, you make a wrong turn, figure out

1693
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 2: how to get back to the road you was on

1694
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 2: and get back on the path you was headed in.

1695
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 2: It ain't that hard. It takes it just you gotta

1696
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 2: want to for real, you gotta want to get back

1697
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: on the right path. You gotta want to do the

1698
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 2: right things. That's all it is like. And once you,

1699
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:57,880

1700
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 2: your life and want that for yourself, then gonna start

1701
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 2: happening for you to make it easier on you to

1702
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,519

Speaker 2: do things a lot differently. So now life, life is

1705
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 2: a little easier for me to stay on this path.

1706
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 2: It's not as it's not. It's not as easy. It's

1707
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 2: easier for me to stay on the path than it

1708
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: is for me to veer off into some bullshit when

1709
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 2: it used to be reversed because I was so like, man,

1710
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 2: I was so eager. I mean, it's so easy to

1711
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 2: be like, man, fuck this shit. I'm just gonna go

1712
