That was more so before I stopped eating pork. 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.200 So the hot sauce with the pork bacon was like 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.240 fire turkey bacon. Hot sauce not so much, but just 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.080 the bread, the flavor of the turkey bacon. It was 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:13.720 just enough for me. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.920 Okay, So you go ahead and start cooking it up, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.720 and while you cooking it up, you gotta take me back. Oh, 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.520 by the way, this is electric. I know some of 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.400 a lot of people are used to cooking on. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.280 All type of stuff. I haven't been through all types 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.960 of walks of life, hot plates, all that. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.080 Yeah, and you you started very young in the industry. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.920 C yeah, yeah, So I'm curious what the heck was 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.000 going on when you was the in bacon and bread. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.160 So what it was is, I'm gonna tell you the 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.280 crazy part about it. Right. So for me, I wasn't 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.440 so much. I wasn't like fifty rich, but I wasn't 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.520 like flat broke. But my mama didn't want me, didn't 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.280 want money to raise me. So I didn't know that 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.679 I really that I was a kid with money, you 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.000 know what I'm saying. Like I had came from mama 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.800 working two jobs. Sometimes every man for himself, make it 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.920 do what he did. That was one of my mamas saying, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.959 every man for himself that night. I ain't cooking shit 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.440 figured out, you know what I'm saying. So with me, Like, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.120 I've never been big on vegetables, never been big on 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.639 like you know what I mean, a lot of different shit. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.519 I've always been god damn meating potatoes or like you 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.280 know what I mean, meating bread type of nigga. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.960 Now are you still like that? You still don't eat 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:48.639 a lot of edgies? 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.359 No, And my mama tell me all the time, like, boy, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.560 you're getting older, you better start eating vegetables. Is you're 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.640 gonna pay for it. And I'm hard headed, hard headed 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.880 as hell. I am very much hard headed, But sometimes 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.519 I eat vegetables, especially now like I got kids now, 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.560 so like I gotta kind of try to eat vegetables 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.440 because if I don't, then my son gonna be like, well, Daddy, 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.400 you don't eat vegetables. Yeah, so I gotta try to, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.560 you know what I mean, be a good example for 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.119 the children. But I'm really not a big vegetable fan. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.799 Like I'm not even gonna lie to you like, I'm 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.720 a nigga that's gonna eat steak and mashed potatoes and 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.200 two pieces of broccoli, and I feel like that's a 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.320 good helping for me. I just I don't know why either, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.280 because vegetables don't taste bad. I just don't fucking like them. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.440 I don't know why bro Like, I'm just I don't know. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.680 I'm a carnivore. I don't want no damn grass. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.640 So I guess vegan's not in your your forete. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.040 Oh hell no, not a chance. I could never do. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.920 I commend the ones that are vegan, but me, I 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.480 could never be vegan. I like burgers and steaks and 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.480 chicken wings and shit like that, and I don't think 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.520 no substitution can taste I'm not gonna lie. At one 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.200 time in Atlanta had some slutty vegan and that burger 0:03:59.280 --> 0:03:59.960 was damn good. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:01.880 I've always wanted to try. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.520 It was damn good. I could taste where it wasn't 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.040 real ground. However, it wasn't bad. It was like it 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.480 still tastes good as fuck. Like if somebody would have 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.440 gave it to me without telling me it was slutty vegan, 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.839 they probably would have got over on me. But because 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.839 of the fact I knew that it was slutty vegan, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.480 I feel like my taste bud was looking for the inconsistencies, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.320 the non ground beef tasting shit. 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.279 I'll tell you, I'm like you in the sense that 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.839 I like meat, but uh in La, they do vegan 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.839 so well that like my guilty pleasure is vegan food. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.040 Like if you like Colleen, where do you want to 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.440 go eat? I'm like sushi or vegan. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.200 I can't get jiggy with sushi. I just can't for 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:45.760 some reason. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.479 I don't know why. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.560 I'm just such a nigga. I feel like it just 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.400 doesn't make sense for me to eat sushi. I'm just 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.440 like bro, I'm just the nigga. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.000 But if you eat sushi with like people in Hollywood, 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.480 they get the little pieces of fish. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:00.200 Me. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.040 If you come with me, just hang with me one time, like. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.120 My fish dead and fried Christ. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.680 I'm telling you I agree with that, But I'm telling 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.919 you I order food where it's like I ordered the eel. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.720 I always I love smoked eel, so it's not really wrong. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.320 I've never even heard that. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.080 I'm not even trying to beg you, but let me 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.560 just let me show you how sushi's done one time. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.880 I'm with it. I like trying new stuff, but it 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.160 just it takes. It takes someone to be like, come on, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.159 I'm telling you, I'm going to try new stuff on 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.200 my own, like I like it. I'm not that nigga 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.920 gonna be riding on streaming like you know what sushi 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.080 restaurant go try? It has to be with somebody like, nah, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:37.360 come here, this is what you get. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:38.760 I'm gonna order it for you. Yeah. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.800 Like, and we're good. You know what I mean? I 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:41.840 will definitely. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.719 Well, so you started in acting, Like what was your 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.200 first big thing? My first and how old were you? 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.320 I was about six years old. I want to say. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.440 My first film was My Baby's Daddy with Eddie Griffin, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:02.239 Anthony Anderson and Michael Imperial. That was my first film. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.120 I played a kind of small role in it. I 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.120 played like Eddie Griffin's baby, Mama's little brother. And what's 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.040 crazy is for me like acting was never really in 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.600 the cards for me, Like I alway thought I was 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.599 would be a rapper, like I just always I've always 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.400 had a love for music. I've always rapped, Like I 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.000 got my start on the Apollo rapping. So when the 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.200 acting thing kind of kicked off, it was new to me, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:25.680 but it was fun, you know what I mean? I 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.400 found I found fun in it, and I'm like, man, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.640 this is something I could do, you know what I mean? 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.760 So from there, I did Tracy Morgan Show, which was 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:36.479 an NBC television show sitcom on NBC, and that was 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.159 probably like my first like big thing where I'm a 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.760 series regular. I'm in every episode and you know, I'm 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.040 kind of making my mark in Hollywood, I would say, 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.040 because you know what I mean? That was like me, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.599 that's where I kind of made my name. Man, Like 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.599 people would tell me I stole the show like that 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.800 was like it was talks for me to do a 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.200 spinoff on me, but it was like, well, what do 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.000 we do? We do a spinoff on a fucking five 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.760 year old six six, seven year old without appearance like 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.839 what happens to live with his grandma? Like is he 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.760 a troubled seven year old all of a sudden? Like 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.680 so obviously didn't pan out, but yeah, like I think 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.480 that's when I realized, like I'm good at that shit. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.800 So your mom kind of introduced you to it? Did 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:15.800 you come from a single. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.800 I came from a single parent household by way of 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.080 my daddy being incarcerated, you know what I mean. But 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000 at the same time, my daddy made his presence felt 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.400 you know what I'm saying, And that's when they I 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.880 always commend my dad for God rest his soul. Like 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.080 no matter what prison I got, Christmas gift, Birthday gifts, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.480 calls all time, all the time, Like I never if 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.400 nobody told me that my daddy was in jail. I 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.520 just thought, like, my daddy is in Kansas City. I'm 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.680 in Los Angeles chasing this dream right now. But I 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.880 like if I would have never been told, like your 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.880 dad's incarcerated, Like my mom was never really wanted to 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.560 hide nothing from me and my little sister, Like she 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.520 was very open with telling us, I mean everything on 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.080 a need to know basis for the most part, like 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.880 she she felt like that was something we needed to know. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.240 And you know what I mean, this is what's going on. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.720 But it's all right. That don't mean your daddy not gonna, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.160 don't love you, don't want to be in life. If 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.240 he's dealing with something right now, and you know what 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.400 I mean, He'll be there when he can. But you know, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:05.920 what I mean. Like I said, my daddy did get 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.080 the best to make his presence felt from prison, and 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.120 you know what I mean, my mama was amazing, Like 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.640 she was amazing and everything, being the in home parent 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.840 of mama and dad, you know what I mean, even though, 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.160 like I said, my dad wasn't absent, he just was incarcerated, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.920 you know what I mean. But so I guess I 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.200 could say I had a single parent household, but not really, 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.160 you know what I mean, because I did have both parents. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.480 But yeah, man, like it just was one of them 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.360 things where it was like my neighbor I used to 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.959 my mom used to work two jobs. She would come home, 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.240 she would be tired. And obviously I'm a kid with energy. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.640 I want to go outside, I want to play. I 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.360 come from the era of playing outside. We had no 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.720 fucking iPads and dig yeah.

So yeah, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.599 so my neighbors man I used to go outside and 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.320 play with my neighbors all the time, and I would 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.079 always find myself kind of putting on the show for them, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:10.920 you know what I mean, whether I'm just rapping, I'm 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.959 just entertaining. I might be imitating my local pastor, you 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.040 know what I mean. Like that's I and from there, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.880 like a lady by the name of Cynthia, who was 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.680 my neighbor.

Like and it's crazy, because 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.840 I was so young, I can't really quite remember everything 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.360 that I was doing, but I can remember. I have 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.120 glimpses of, like I said, me imitating my pastor me 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.240 rapping whatever rap song. Like I said, at this time, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.040 I'm nothing about I'm not even in school. I'm like 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.360 coming on from daycare. I'm about four years old, maybe 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:50.960 you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not even in 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.920 preschool yet. So I was advanced, like to know these 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.640 rap songs and to be able to, you know, me 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.720 catch on to them and rap them word for word, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.200 Like I was four years old and I knew Little 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.959 Wayne the block is Hot from start to finish, like 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.560 couldn't like for one, like, Nigga, how do you even 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.800 how are you catching on of these words at four 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:09.280 years old? 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:09.400 Like? 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.800 And Miss Cinthy used to always tell my mama like, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.760 he's special, like you need to get him into some dinner. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.720 It's something you need to put him into something, he's special. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.520 When my mama don't see it. My mama's wrestling and 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.360 working and you know what I mean, and her my 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.120 time with Miss Cinthy is her kind of rest time 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.360 when I come in the House of Time where to 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.439 prepare dinner, get us ready for the next day, get 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.240 her ready for her next workday. So she didn't really 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.360 see it often. It wasn't until one day we was 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.720 riding the car and the Block Is Hot came on 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.760 the radio and I wrapped that motherfucker from start to finish, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.280 And my mama looked back and was she was like nigga, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.840 like surprised, like what the fuck? Like, cause, for one, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.839 it was crazy because my mama didn't play rap music 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.720 in her car. My MoMA played strictly gospel music. So 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.199 once she was like, where the fuck did you hear 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.600 this at? And how are you hearing it enough to 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.960 be able to notice shit from start to finish like that, 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.880 you know what I'm saying. So it caught her by surprise, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.240 and I think from there that's what she knew, Like, Okay, 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.840 what these people are telling me about my son is true, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.480 Like he's special, like she's you know, he's just a 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.000 kid with energy. He I mean, he's just a kid, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.959 dude energy, and he's you know, I mean, y'all entertained 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.600 because he's not y'all kid, you know what I meaning. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.800 So everybody's more entertained by other people kids than they own. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.000 That's just natural, especially as a parent. Now I get 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.040 it now, Like my son, dudes, I'm like Nigga, you bad. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.320 Other people like man, he's hilarious, he's funny, he's smart 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.120 as hell. I'm like, man, I do bad. So it's 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.480 just a difference. So with that, like after she seen 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.400 me or heard me rap that song, she kind of 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.880 took heed of what people were saying. And it just 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.080 so happened that the Apollo Theater was holding auditions in 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.880 my city. At the time, so they held an audition 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.400 at our local mall. I won the audition to go 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:47.480 represent Kansas City in New York, and from there, like 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.839 I said, it just took off. Like I said, from 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.760 they went Tracy from Ner went My Baby's Daddy, Tracy 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.640 Morgan Show. But like in between, I did all the 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.480 crazy talk shows, Sally Ricky Lake, Jenny Jones, like all 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.800 the talk shows that motherfucker's my age don't even remember existing. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.520 And I wouldn't even remember it existing if I wasn't 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.240 known the motherfucker, you know what I'm saying. Like, so 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.440 it's kind of crazy to be like the nostalgia that 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.640 like all the things I've done, like leading up to 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:12.960 you know what I mean, where I got to and 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.000 where I am now, Like kind of crazy, But it 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.960 was it's dope to see like like my mama actually 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.400 believed in me, you know what I mean. Like it 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.959 started with my mama like she was like, oh no, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.760 but once she's seen it for herself, she believed in me. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.800 My mama had a career, she was a she was 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.400 a a r n she was a registered nurse. And 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.200 there's not it's not no bad job. There's not no 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.640 dead end job to where it's like, that's just a 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.720 job you throw away to go chase a pipe dream 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:38.840 and move to l a like. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.120 And she did that. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.520 She did that for me. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.120 How old were you at the time I was? 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:45.719 I was I was about six or seven years old 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.320 at the time. I was young as hell. And the 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.960 people told her Kansas City, Missouri. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.280 That's a big feat hell. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.280 Yeah, she packed up and the people told her, if 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:56.840 you leave, you can't come back. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.800 What was the conversation between if you can recollect? Like, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.600 what was the conversation between you and her at that age? 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.280 Like, I just remember telling my mam, I'm gonna make 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:05.600 you richie. You don't never have to work no more. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.720 At five or six, That's all I remember. 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.720 But that was the only thing that was said. And 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.079 like I said, my mama was still to this day, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.199 she's she's deep in church christian She looked, she she 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.200 she she started to say something to me like boy, 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.280 and then she caught herself and looked and said, God, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.319 I received it. And from there, you know what I mean. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.439 She she took the necessary steps to make that that 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.160 dream and what that what I said to her, She 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.480 took a step to make that reality, you know what 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.520 I mean. So like without my mama like believing and 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.200 really you know what I mean, giving up what she 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.199 what she was doing as far as working, and you 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.520 know what I mean, making things happen like that, nothing 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.680 nothing goes, nothing shakes for me. Like like I said, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.199 my mama was belief in me and belief in you 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.600 know what I mean, the fact that God put an anointing 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.600 on me at a young age to do something specially 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.720 like I said, I come from a long line of 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.840 all my mama's sons feelings like I come from. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.760 Fuck, how many siblings do you? 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.679 I got four brothers, the youngest.

My mama got four boys with me included. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.080 And then I got a little sister, so I'm the 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.679 second to youngest period. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.160 So she moved the entire family. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.920 No, because my older my older brother is ten years 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.960 older than me, twelve years older than me, fifteen years 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.160 older than me, so it was a large gap. So 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.840 by the time my career started, one of my brothers 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.960 was doing a ten year bid. The other two was 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.280 knee deep in the streets and she it wasn't no, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.720 it wasn't no, rilling them back in at the time 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.200 they had made their decisions to be and I said, 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.560 they jump up to the porch young, my brother jump 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.040 up to porch thirteen fourteen.

So 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:45.400 from there, So do. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.760 You think also in her decision was like she had already. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.440 Wanted something different. She was like, if I want something different, 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.720 I have to kind of help him see something different 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.160 because naturally I'm gonna want to be like my big 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.080 brothers run behind my big brothers. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.560 That kind of similar to what kind of happened with 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.240 Kevin Hart and his brother, Like I don't know if 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.200 you heard one of his own Like mom was like, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.760 I'm not. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.240 Like you came because of what? Yeah, because of that, 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:10.760 And you. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.400 Think that's kind of like what your mom was like, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.320 I'm just not gonna roll the dice on Bobby. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.800 Yeah, absolutely, Like she she took heed to what was 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.960 going on and she said, you know what I mean, 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.440 I'm gonna I'm gonna do something different, you know what 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.040 I mean? And show him something different and give him 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.120 a chance at being something different. Now, I did still 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.360 fuck up, just like my brothers. But that was my 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.600 own decision. That wasn't no situation like. That was me 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.160 just making dumb decisions down the line when I got older, 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.200 getting too big for my bridges in a sense, you 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.440 know what I'm saying. But my mama did everything she 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.480 could to steer me in a whole different direction. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.560 Okay, so then now you're doing your acting thing. You 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.160 you land this big gig at six Yeah, now you 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.040 move before you land the gig. Correct. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:51.680 We moved? 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.440 Yeah, I think I want to say we moved to La. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.160 We was like looking for places in La shortly. No, 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.560 I was while I was auditioning. That's when I was 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.280 audition for the Tracy Morgan Show. We were staying at 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.240 a little motel called the night In Still there right 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.000 there on the Vinuenta. I want to say, that is 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.200 really right right by Universal Studios, Like we're staying right 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.360 there by the subway, by that place where people take 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.560 all the everybody take their head shots, like and in 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.800 the midst of us staying there. I had an audition 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:27.120 for Tracy Morgan Show, and I booked it. So from there, 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.360 but my mama had already lost her job because I 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.480 did a movie called Full Clip in Los Angeles. Matter 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.080 of fact, that's what I was in LA for when 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.240 I audition for Tracy Morgan Show. And once we finished filming, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.200 I stayed a little longer to do some auditions and 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.160 try to get some things going because my mama knew, like, 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.600 there's nothing to go back to. We got this little 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.520 we got this my baby daddy money. We got the 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.000 Full Clip month with movie money, but eventually that's gonna 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.200 run out, especially the price of living in LA. She's like, man, 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:53.360 once I get to you know what I mean, getting 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.120 get us into a place and enroll them in school, be. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.320 Able to touch the money though, because I heard. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.040 Yeah, yeah, it's it's a percentage of it goes to 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.960 a trust fund.

So that's what 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.879 we're doing. You know what I'm saying. That's that's the 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:13.960 one thing you got to see it. I got that 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.840 little crisp on, the little crispon the gotta have to crunch. 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.240 But at this young age, do you start to feel 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.560 any type of pressure. I guess that's what I'm trying 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.160 to get it, Like, did you feel any type of pressures? 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.440 Like And that's another thing that credits No, that's nothing 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.919 that that's a credit to my mama because one of 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.200 the first things she told me before shit even got 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.240 to like a point where it was like, let's say, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:36.800 like to where it was big and it was getting 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.920 like colossal in a way, like she made sure to 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.800 let me know, like, if you ever stop having fun 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.399 with this shit, we're done with this shit, okay, Like 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.440 she told me that from Jump Street. The moment it's 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.040 not fun for you no more, you let me know, 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.280 and it's over with the moment. You just want to 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.280 go back to being a regular kid to go to school, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.399 and that's what we'll do. So I always had that 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.400 freedom to be like, whether I'm failing succeeding, whether it's 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.360 going my way not going my way, I can say 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.040 fuck this shit, and my mama gonna behind me because 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.360 she's not moved by the money she's not moved by 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.840 with the shit that enticed most parents when it comes 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.879 to having their kids in Hollywood, Like because it was 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.560 never my mama's plan to do this. This was something 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.600 that she just it was God's plan, and my mam 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.520 will follow God's plan. But this was never her plan. 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.919 She's like, it makes me no never mind, because if 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:19.200 I got to I'm gonna go back to work and I'm 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.840 gonna provide for minds. That was always her attitude about it. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.320 Like it was never no if ans or butts about 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.399 it with my mama. So that made any type of 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.440 pressure kind of subside, any type of pressure that could 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.000 have been there. It was like, there ain't no way 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.280 because I don't got her. You feel me, It ain't 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.120 shit I gotta do but say, I'm done with this shit, 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:37.800 and I can literally be done with this shit. Ain't 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.080 nobody gonna be forcing me. Like a lot of child 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.040 actors didn't have that to where their parents put them 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.720 before the money. You know what I'm saying, Like my 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.080 mama put me before the money, and like that's kind 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.199 of why I shaped and molded how I came how 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.320 I am, Like I'm humble, I'm kind of I'm down 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.000 on earth for the most part, Like I'm not really 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.080 because I've never been raised that the money was everything. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.680 I've always been raised like moral, those principles, you know 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.399 what I mean, what you stand for, what you stand 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.160 on is what means the most. You know what I'm saying. Family, 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.879 That's what means. I mean, like ship like that, Like 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.280 that's just how it was brought up. Yeah, So there 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.480 was never really no pressure on my on my part ever, 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.800 for real, I don't think so. Yeah, not that I 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.520 could ever remember. I don't never remember. Pressure started once 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.359 I got older. I started to put pressure on myself 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.600 when I got older too, to live up to everything 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.119 and all they to compress as a young bull. I'm like, 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.800 I can't. I can't do nothing less than that. Now. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.720 I did so much great as a young good it's 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:31.800 not good enough no more. 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.439 And I was gonna say, was there ever a gap 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.480 in between you being a young guy that was clearly 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.440 very successful in his career, Like was there a gap 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.320 where there was? 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:49.119 Yeah? Yeah, was like Nigga fucked Bobby Jay where they 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.919 chewed me up as good as I was tasting and 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.680 they spit me out absolutely. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.000 And what did that feel like, and what was your 0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:01.200 thought process through that? It was are you good? 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:06.600 You're good? I was probably about, I say, probably a 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.520 freshman in high school is when shit really started like 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.639 slowing down and it came to like a damnar complete 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.359 stop at a time, like it was it shit just 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.240 wasn't popping, Like it wasn't going like it. Shit wasn't popping. 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.439 I was doing Hello auditions, I wasn't booking shit. I 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.600 wasn't you know what I mean, It wasn't shit really popping, 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:29.240 And like for me, it was like, damn, like what 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:30.720 am I doing wrong? In a sense, you know what 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.720 I'm saying? I questioned myself like damn, am I not 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.720 good enough? No more? Did they only? Was I only 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:38.080 good enough as this kid just playing this badass smart 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:39.840 mouth kid? Was that the only thing they wanted me 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:40.600 for it to be that? 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:40.760 Like? 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.120 Do they not think I can really act and play 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.880 different roles and do different things? Like so it troubled 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.400 me for show. It troubled me for show? 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.520 And then did you feel like peer pressure because like 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:51.520 now at this point you're. 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.760 Famous, right, Yeah, Like I could say I felt I 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.439 definitely felt a lot of I wouldn't say it was 0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.000 really peer pressure because the kids around me wasn't.

They went and 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.680 robbed the banks, so they gone, they doing time at 0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:08.920 the time, you know what I mean. So it's like 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:12.640 everything depending on me. If I would have if I knew, 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.120 if I knew what I know now, I said, I 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:19.879 probably would have still found a way to help him 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:22.279 get that car back without his mama knowing and not 0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.640 left him hanging the word, because at the end of 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:25.960 the day, I'm thinking in my head, like if you 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:28.160 get in trouble for this car being here, I'm still 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:31.319 I'm fucked too. Like regardless fast, it's literally nigga me 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:33.399 getting this car back. Say both of y'all, say both 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.160 of our ass because my MoMA like, s, so, what 0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:36.239 the fuck y'all been doing with this car? 0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:36.359 All? 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:38.360 They nigga? So so you what you told him to 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:39.759 come take his mama car and bring it to you. 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:42.800 I'm guilty by association regardless. So it's like, nigga, I 0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:44.319 gotta say both of our ass you know what I mean. 0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.480 That's how I was thinking about it. But like now 0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:48.479 that I'm older, I probably be like, man, brother, look 0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:51.799 we about to find a cab driver. I'm gonna pay 0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:54.160 this cab driver to drive you and your mama car home. 0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:58.120 I know something with another alternative. 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.520 It's funny because it's it's a slippers. So you have 0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.960 these moms that are very caring and loving, right, and 0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.239 you have your friendship to your friend. And I'm not 0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.440 knocking any of the moms, and it was good that 0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:10.560 they instilled the fear they did. But if you really 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.919 look at the root of the problem is it's kind 0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:16.319 of like you're scared at your mama. And again not 0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:19.120 knocking because I think my mom had this conversation with me. 0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:22.040 I have a two year old, and she said, you know, 0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.879 do you have enough control over her if she has 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.880 to cross the street and you say stop, you know, 0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.320 don't cross. Will she be able to stop? And I 0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:34.200 knew the answer was absolutely not, Like what never happened. 0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:39.120 My daughter was like, but but but I say that 0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.399 to say that I get you looking back and saying 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:44.560 I would do it all again because of these these 0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:45.640 moral standards. 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:47.360 And I have the same problem. By the way, I'm 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.439 loyal to a fault like you could. I'll be like, well, 0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:53.799 they whatever, But but I will say this though, but 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:55.760 if you look at it, the things that you guys 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.879 were running from was like the pure fear of your 0:37:58.920 --> 0:37:59.879 moms from your mother. 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:03.160 The trouble for my mamas ain't ain't as bad as 0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:03.560 the trouble. 0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:04.680 Trouble that you guys got it. 0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:06.920 If I look bad like me, we might to take 0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:09.080 these little ass woomen being punish me can't hang out 0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.160 for yeah, a week or two. But it's like nigga, 0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:12.719 we will find a way to still hang out her. 0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:15.279 But you can also, you know, if you look at psychology, 0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.719 I always say, like, you know, young brains, they're not 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:19.840 fully mature, they're not weighing out all the options. And 0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:21.960 I can see where it's like I was terrified of 0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.560 my mom nigga, I would have done I would have 0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:28.719 gotten my mom. So I get it. But going back 0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.000 to the Tyler Perry situation, and it's good that you 0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:33.680 talk about it and you're going back and forth because 0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.160 I think it really gets us to see like your 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.520 your core character, like where your values are at. Like 0:38:38.600 --> 0:38:40.400 I thought about it a hundred times. Would I have 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:42.279 done it again? Yeah I would. 0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.280 I just probably would have did it a little different differently, 0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:47.160 even thought it's not what you do is how you 0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.200 do it, So I would have probably switched away. I 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.719 went about it. Yeah, somebody like like I said, I was, 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:54.759 I'm a young nigga. I'm fifteen years old, but I 0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:56.959 got a debit card, I'm having I got a amount 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:58.120 of money on my car. So I been like, Bro, 0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:00.200 there got to be an adult with a dry I 0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:03.279 can pay bro, drive this car to this location. Don't 0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:04.120 go a step further. 0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:06.640 But I think there's there were so many things like 0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.440 even when you hear the story, it's like you have 0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:11.600 this young person who's acquired some kind of status, who 0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:13.919 has friends of status. You know, even when you guys 0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:17.200 get arrested and you're like around each other. I remember 0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:19.480 being like fifteen or sixteen, And the first time I 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:22.080 recursed was like behind my mom's back. She walks in 0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.520 the room, she catches me cursing. But I'm amongst my 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:27.000 friends like that, F and B. I don't remember the words, 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.759 but all of those. My mom walked in and I said, 0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:32.120 oh my god, this is the day I die. 0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:32.480 You know. 0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:35.080 But when you get around your friends at that age, 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.239 you're like, I'm big and bad, you know. And that's 0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:41.160 the part of being growing up, growing up right, so 0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:45.040 logical everything you did seems like totally rational at your age. 0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:48.120 And then and then a fifteen year old with responsibilities, 0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.600 who's working, who's earning his own money, who's providing for 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:52.359 his family. But take me back. 0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:54.719 His attention was like get it done and get to work. 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:57.279 Yeah, get to get it done, get to work. But 0:39:57.360 --> 0:39:59.560 Tyler Pierr has this conversation. Does he fire you at 0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:00.480 the end of the conversation. 0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:04.560 No, he has a conversation with me, and I think 0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.080 I finished, I do my filming whatever. They shoot my 0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:10.399 scenes out for that day and I'm gone. They flew 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.400 me out like the next day. So it was it 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:16.880 was a silent firing. The firing part was silent. I 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:18.719 just had to get the picture. Oh nigga, they don't. 0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:20.920 I'm not coming back, like they're done with me. And 0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:23.600 it was it was people that was upset about it though, 0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:25.560 because they were like, bro, he's a kid. You gotta 0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:28.960 this is your This is the opportunity to be you 0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:31.920 know what I mean to to to to kind of be. 0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.160 I said, my daddy was in my life for show. 0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:36.200 But it's like, this is the opportunity to give him 0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:39.719 that that lessons as a man, that that's that he 0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:41.759 looks up to that as a man, Like I do 0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:43.600 feel like he could have went about it differently. They'll 0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:46.040 cost you money, yeah, but money all that that shit. 0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:48.680 Come back the opportunity to teach a lesson to a 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:51.239 young black man that comes from nothing, just like you 0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.520 come from nothing, and and and it showed me like, no, bro, 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.880 come on now, you can't. I feel like I feel 0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:59.640 like he could have took that opportunity and did a 0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:01.600 little bit differently. 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:06.640 I did see Tyler Perry's documentary. Did you ever get 0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:07.000 to see it? 0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.000 I haven't watched the whole thing, but I do his 0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:10.040 story just from working with him. 0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:12.160 Kind of I didn't know his story, but I do 0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:14.399 know like I remember when I first moved to La 0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:17.840 hearing about his plays or whatever. People are like talking 0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:19.520 about this guy who had this play, and it was 0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:21.680 like maybe a tape that was going around or something, 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:23.799 or I just remember people talking about it. But when 0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:25.920 I saw the documentary and everything he went through, I 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:31.440 think that I don't know if, especially as a teenager, 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:35.319 like it's sometimes grace can be a slippery slope. You 0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:36.560 give someone grace. 0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:38.080 And I don't know if I would appreciate it. The 0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:39.399 reason probably would have kept sucking up. 0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:41.399 Yeah, Like it's it's a slippery slope, and I'm learning 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:43.680 that as an adult, Like you can give grace, but 0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:46.640 it's a slippery slope because there's a thin line between 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.000 grace and disrespect. Sometimes. 0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.240 I just you know, like if the roles were reversed 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:52.279 and I'm in that position, I take that young nigga 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:53.120 under my wing. 0:41:52.960 --> 0:41:55.600 Like nah, I would have been like, I'm gonna make 0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:55.920 sure you. 0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:57.480 Don't fuck up no more, Nigga'm about to show you 0:41:57.480 --> 0:41:59.600 some ship that we're like, Nigga, you know, like I 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:02.560 gotta get to this, but also I gotta get to that. 0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:03.839 So I know the only way to get to that 0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:05.960 is the following the foot he I gotta not fuck 0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:08.239 up in the more, follow in these footstep, like show 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:09.880 a young nigga away, Bro, I'm a young nigga that 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:11.600 really come from nothing. Every nigga I ever looked up 0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:14.520 to them being is a feling my daddy, every last 0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:15.880 one of my I got one brother that ain't a 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:18.279 fella and he lives in fucking Australia and I and 0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:20.560 before he lived in Australia, he went to college and 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:24.080 fucking South or North Dakota or something like that. And like, 0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:25.880 we got the same daddy, not the same mama. So 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.560 we're close, but we weren't in the same household. Every 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:32.239 man in the household that I came up in. That 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:34.919 was my example. Nigga, thug it out until you can't 0:42:34.920 --> 0:42:37.239 no more. Like that's just what I knew. That's what 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:38.840 I That's still just what I know, you know what 0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:40.640 I mean, Like that's just how I was, That's how 0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:42.160 I was brought up in a sense, like my mama 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.600 did her absolute best. But it's a young man is 0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:48.080 not going to model himself after his mother. Yeah, no, 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:50.839 it's impossible. I'm gonna model myself after the men in 0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:52.399 my life. Look up to me. Like I said, my brother, 0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:54.319 the closest brother I got to my age, is ten 0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.960 years older than me. So when I was born, he 0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:00.080 was ten years old. By the time I'm able to 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:02.400 really pay attention to what he's doing, he's thirteen, fourteen, 0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:04.520 and then I got a sixteen. I got an eighteen 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.640 at eighteen, bro gone doing ten years old, just done 0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:10.720 doing ten years I remembered vividly the police coming and 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:14.560 knocking on my mama door taking him away. I remember 0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:17.640 that seeing that, probably five years old. Maybe I might 0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:18.240 have been four. 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:19.399 Yeah, you know what I mean, I. 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.400 Was young at shit like. I remember seeing that vividly. 0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:23.840 I remember seeing the police kicking the door in my 0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:26.920 daddy house and take my daddy to jail, foot on 0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:29.239 my daddy neck, foot on my brother. I remember seeing that. 0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:31.960 Everything that I seen and everything that everybody I looked 0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:34.560 up to was full fledged gangsters like I ain't. That's 0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:35.840 just all I've ever had to look up to was 0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.239 niggas that were in the streets. I've never really had 0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:43.000 nobody that was on a positive path take me under 0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:44.880 their wing and be like this the way it goes. 0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:47.520 A little bro, Now to your career now because I 0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.840 know you're and I don't want to speak on I 0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:52.160 really don't like to speak bump. But since we know 0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:54.919 some of the same people, you have someone like Nile 0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:58.160 or Nick. Yeah, nigas one of those people like he 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.880 sees something in you. I want to say, niggas the. 0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.840 Nick I'm a fuck up. Huh, Nick think I'm a 0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:04.239 fuck up? 0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:05.400 Okay, so I'm gonna say this. 0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:07.239 I feel like Nick loves me but keeps me at 0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:09.279 a distance because he feels like I'm a liability. I 0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:11.040 think that's just me being honest. 0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:12.319 So I feel so. 0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:14.239 Nick loved the shit out of me, though, but it's 0:44:14.280 --> 0:44:16.080 like he think I feel like he thinks I'm too 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:17.520 hard headed. I don't think he feel like I don't 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:19.480 listen or I won't listen. But like Nigga, you never 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:21.120 really told me nothing to listen to. 0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:23.759 Well, yeah, because I feel like I worked with Nick 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:25.799 for like ten years, and I would see Nick joke 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:27.839 with like a lot of people around me. We were 0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:30.520 very close in age. I think everyone Nick surround himself 0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:32.799 for the most part, are like twenty years older than him, 0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:33.680 like you know or now. 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.360 He's always like now, Nick has always been a little bros. 0:44:37.480 --> 0:44:39.879 So Nick has never been the big brody like, nah, 0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.399 come here, my nigga, but he doesn't now he has 0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:45.359 now like more so like more recently. But I think 0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:47.600 for me, like I think Nick just think I'm so 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:49.600 far gone. But it's like, Nigga, I just am who 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:51.319 I am. If you take some time to have a 0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:54.160 conversation with Bobby J. The man, because you know Bobby J. 0:44:54.360 --> 0:44:57.160 The kid, and you can't understand how that kid you 0:44:57.239 --> 0:44:59.640 knew turn in But Nigga, you gotta understand I was 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:01.520 a kid that was trained to be the keys. 0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:04.160 But that's what I want to I want to. I 0:45:04.239 --> 0:45:06.239 want to say this about him because I worked with 0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:08.480 him for ten years and he would joke with everybody. 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.080 He you know, he I'd be lying to say, Nick, 0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:14.719 he's closer my age group. Whether or not I thought 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.680 he was okay or attractive looking was whatever, But I 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:20.239 just knew because we're around the same age. We work together, 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:22.600 you know industry be like, oh they I cook it up, 0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:26.520 and so we were very very business or whatever. Yeah, 0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:29.319 but I remember like the one or two times where 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:34.920 Nick was like, you're fucking up. Yeah, and his you know, 0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:37.799 never ever had no real conversation, but there was one 0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:40.920 or two conversations where he was like, you may want 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.640 to reconsider some of your your moves, you know. And 0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.000 so I think just personality wise, he's one of those 0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:49.040 people that he don't really mentor he's not even. 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:50.560 Like your best friend personality. 0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:51.800 Yeah, I think he had. 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:57.480 More so like I will now i'd be like, let 0:45:57.520 --> 0:45:58.200 me tell you something. 0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:02.040 Ain't nobody had my back morning now, but now sometimes 0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:04.880 can stab me in the like our last conversation he 0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:07.000 says something and I didn't take his car after this, 0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:09.560 and you know he don't listen, thank god, he don't 0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:12.040 listen to all my episodes. But but now I think 0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:13.920 it's a straight shooter. And when you when the chips 0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:16.879 are down, I don't give a fuck if you work 0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:19.399 with now you never had a real conversation with him. 0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:23.719 He is that nigga that you can be like, he gonna. 0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:27.319 Take I'd have been in jail, fucked up. Now he 0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:30.680 paid pound of money. Yeah, now lawyer money. 0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:33.239 Hey did you you know Dorian two? 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:33.959 Right? Yeah? 0:46:34.000 --> 0:46:37.719 All them niggas is uh solid, I would say all them. 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.359 And but I think the way Nick moves is I 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.000 think he pays attention to And I've said this to people. 0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:47.000 I think he trusts no one and he watches everybody 0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:48.879 so like you'll be like I walked in the room, 0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:50.360 he didn't even say hi. It's like Nick knew you 0:46:50.400 --> 0:47:07.919 were there before you entered the building. Like every move 0:47:08.080 --> 0:47:11.840 is his chest and he doesn't do the controversial stuff absolutely, 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:14.839 And like I said, the only two times he's ever 0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:16.359 pulled me to the side when it was like a 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:18.400 for sure fuck up, and it was a very short 0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:22.480 like you may want to reroute because this could end bad. 0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:23.560 I've got I've got. 0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:25.279 That from now. I've never even got that from Nick 0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:28.200 to be like, hey bro, what the fuck? Like you tripping? 0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:31.120 Nigga figured that out, you know what I mean. But now, 0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:33.759 on the other hand, it's been like come here. But 0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:37.879 now at the same time, now has a better understanding 0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:41.120 of who I am, my what I like, my trauma, 0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:43.960 what causes me to be. He got a better understanding 0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:46.040 of that than than Nick. Does you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:47:46.480 --> 0:47:48.879 so I can. That's why I feel like now it's 0:47:48.920 --> 0:47:50.360 easier for to be able to come to me like 0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:51.359 hey man, what the fuck is you doing? 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:51.880 You tripped me? 0:47:51.960 --> 0:47:53.920 I know that this is the circumstance. I know this happened. 0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.520 I know this happened. To know that happened. But nigga, 0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:59.160 everything that happened has nothing to do with the next 0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.000 ten years of your life, the decisions you're finna make 0:48:02.040 --> 0:48:05.879 and how you set yourself up a success or failure. Yeah, yeah, 0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:06.840 and you know what I mean. Like I said, I 0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:09.080 apprecialize that there's nothing there's nothing bad about it. It's 0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:11.680 just Nick is not the mentoring type. And that's cool, 0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:13.200 Like you know what I mean, Yeah, it's just for me. 0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:17.160 I've always looked at Nick like big brother, because I've 0:48:17.160 --> 0:48:18.239 known the niggas since I. 0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:20.239 Was like, hey, you've been around, Yeah, you've been. 0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:23.080 Around, Like I made Nika the Kids Choice Awards, and 0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:25.160 you can find the pictures on Google, Like if you 0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:27.600 call Google my name and google Bobby Nick and you'll 0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:29.440 find the picture of Nick with a big stupid baggy 0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:32.360 jersey on some fucking headband neck braids. 0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:36.520 But I will say this, and I told my little 0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:39.839 brother this when he was working. Nick was like, I 0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:43.239 think just just just because I've been kind of in 0:48:43.239 --> 0:48:47.520 the offices versus on sets, I'll just say, like observation 0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:52.000 I told legal this, like, if you're in the room, 0:48:52.080 --> 0:48:54.640 he fucks with you, and he believes in you, period 0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:57.839 you period. If you are in the room, he made 0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:00.440 that exactly a decision. Nick has always believe than you. 0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:03.880 I just think, like I said, he has that million 0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:07.400 layers of fencing around him as he should. As he 0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:10.120 should because if you know his story, it's like, yeah, nigga, 0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:12.719 I would have a million layers of fencing. But to 0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:17.000 go back to your story, did you eventually I know 0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:20.040 you mentioned now, but did you start to seek out 0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:23.800 mentors at some point or did you just stumble upon you. 0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:26.200 I ain't gotten and I'll just be learning as I 0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:28.360 go for real, like I learned from my mistakes. I 0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:30.640 bump my head and I know, like I don't want 0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:32.360 that same not right there in the middle of my 0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:35.040 forehead no more. So let me figure it out. Like 0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:38.760 I've never I said, my dad was always a person 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:41.840 that gave game. But by the time me and my 0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:44.440 daddy got to be like where it was because I 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:46.400 was in LA a lot of years. I wasn't in 0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:48.279 Kansas City, but my dad. When my daddy did get 0:49:48.280 --> 0:49:50.360 out of prison, I was living in Los Angeles. He 0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:52.440 was in Kansas City, and then by the time I 0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:55.279 came back home, I'm already smoking weed. I'm already kind 0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:57.480 of doing my own thing. I'm already kind of shaping 0:49:57.520 --> 0:50:00.319 and molding myself into who I believe that I want 0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:02.239 and who I'm supposed to be. So, you know what 0:50:02.280 --> 0:50:04.239 I mean, My daddy couldn't do really couldn't really do 0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:07.279 much but advise and and you know what I mean, 0:50:07.400 --> 0:50:08.919 kind of sit there. And then that's another thing my daddy. 0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:10.560 My daddy was person like nigga, gonna have to You're 0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:12.560 gonna have to bump your head because you're hard headed. 0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:15.400 That I've always been hard headed, Like I was a 0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:17.880 hard headed kid. I was a hard headed teenager. So, 0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:21.719 like I said, I've always learned from my own experience. 0:50:22.080 --> 0:50:24.080 But at the same time, I don't think I think 0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:26.920 if somebody was to be like, now, come here, nigga, 0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:29.279 learned from learn what I'm about to tell you, learn 0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:32.120 what I'm about to show you, I wouldn't. I wouldn't 0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:33.080 be opposed to that. 0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:35.640 Now do you think that that person would have to be? 0:50:35.640 --> 0:50:40.279 Because I know what mentors. I'm a die hard mentor freak. 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:44.080 I mentor people, and I'm like everyone, I know, you 0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:48.480 get a mentor. But I think with men and what 0:50:48.520 --> 0:50:51.560 I've seen over the years when men is like, I 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:53.480 feel like, it can't just be any guy that. 0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:58.240 Look up to somebody that you can see you're somebody 0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:00.840 that's where you want to be or further or somebody 0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:02.640 that you like. Okay, yeah, I can listen to you 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.399 because you got the formula to go where I'm trying 0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.279 to go or be for You've been where I where 0:51:08.280 --> 0:51:10.719 I'm in the direction I'm headed, you know what I mean. 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:12.480 Like like, but it's hard, But. 0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:14.680 It's also not just that, it's like, can you relate 0:51:14.719 --> 0:51:17.919 to where I'm from? It has to be the cocktail, right, 0:51:18.280 --> 0:51:20.560 especially I think for a black man, it has to 0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.040 be that cocktail of you know, you can't just be 0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:25.040 successful and you came from money. It has to be 0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:28.800 you successful and your dad and similar to my dad, 0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:31.600 and then we could talk about you mentoring me, right, 0:51:31.880 --> 0:51:33.279 Is that in my correctness? 0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:36.680 Yeah? For sure for sure? Okay, so yeah, definitely, that's 0:51:36.719 --> 0:51:38.799 definitely a big part of it, for sure, right. And 0:51:38.840 --> 0:51:41.080 I think that's why, like I would, I think that's 0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:43.600 why like for me, I personally like damn, like I 0:51:43.640 --> 0:51:45.359 wish Bro would be like, Hey Noah, come in, Bro, 0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:48.239 because you somebody I've always looked kid before we even 0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:50.799 actually work together. I stopped Nick on the red car, like, 0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:54.920 hey Nick, what's up? Like nigga, Like I didn't say 0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:57.239 these words. I'm like, man, I fuck with you. Yeah, 0:51:57.360 --> 0:51:59.319 I don't remember what, but in so many words, that's 0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:01.840 what I'm saying, Like, Bro, I'm I'm a fan. I 0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:04.400 look up to you, nigga. What you're doing in Hollywood, 0:52:04.480 --> 0:52:07.040 where you started, Nigga. That's the path I'm trying. That's 0:52:07.040 --> 0:52:08.480 what I'm trying to get to. Like I see what 0:52:08.520 --> 0:52:10.319 you're doing. And at this time, niggas probably fresh off 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:13.040 a drum line like this. This is like young Nick, 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:13.600 like this is this. 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:16.000 Two thousand it's two thousand and five, Like you know 0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:16.719 what I'm saying. 0:52:16.480 --> 0:52:18.800 Like this is this young boy like and I'm super 0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:21.759 super young bull. So it's like I said, I think, 0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:24.719 I think eventually a conversation will be had, but it's 0:52:24.760 --> 0:52:29.280 like the nigga doesn't have time for conversation. Like sometimes 0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:32.000 the nigga's so busy he don't even have times down 0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:34.960 and talk to you. He barely like what's up? He 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:36.800 barely has time to sit down and talk to himself 0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:39.400 here his own thoughts sometimes because it's always something a 0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:41.759 phone call or a conference call of meeting. So it's 0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:44.520 like it's not nothing again, there's nothing that he's doing 0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:46.880 wrong or bad. It's just like Nigga. Sometimes it doesn't 0:52:47.160 --> 0:52:48.799 go the way it's supposed to. But I said, I'm 0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:51.879 then at thirty years old, Like I shouldn't need that, 0:52:51.960 --> 0:52:53.120 you know what I mean? Like I should be able 0:52:53.160 --> 0:52:55.520 to well, I shouldn't even need it, but it's it's 0:52:55.560 --> 0:52:57.040 good to have it. I shouldn't need it. I should 0:52:57.120 --> 0:53:00.600 be able to see where I'm going or I'm headed, 0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:02.040 and what I need to do wrong, I mean, what 0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:04.359 I need to do differently to get what I'm trying 0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:06.320 to get. At this age in my life, it shouldn't 0:53:06.320 --> 0:53:09.160 be no like at in your early like seventeen eighteen 0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:11.000 year I feel like it's needed, it's kind of needed 0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:14.000 to have that, especially because becoming a man is different, 0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:16.840 like it it's becoming a man that that's a different monster. 0:53:17.000 --> 0:53:19.520 Like when you're really finding out who you are as 0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:22.640 a man versus who you thought you were or who 0:53:22.680 --> 0:53:25.000 you who you who you wanted to be with it's 0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:27.080 kind of face like, no, this is who you are, 0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:29.000 you know what I'm saying. Like, I've always wanted to 0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:35.879 be the completely upstanding, straightforward citizen nigga, no trouble whatever. 0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:39.400 And I never wanted to be a felon or you 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:41.360 I mean, nigga that and broke the law or somebody 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:42.960 that you know what i mean, been in jail or whatever. 0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:45.640 I've never wanted to be that, but that was just 0:53:46.239 --> 0:53:48.000 what I had a favoriteality, Like, Nigga, that is who 0:53:48.040 --> 0:53:50.440 I am.

Y'all have seen me. 0:59:06.800 --> 0:59:08.720 Y'all claim y'all seen me grow up, but not really, 0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:12.160 y'all seen the roles I played growing up, But y'all don't. 0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:13.680 Y'all didn't get see me.

Y'all just knew what 0:59:17.520 --> 0:59:20.160 y'all seen on TV. So it's like that music always 0:59:20.240 --> 0:59:22.160 gives people kind of the inside look because I'm not 0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:24.960 rapping as nobody else but Bobby. So the shit I'm 0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:26.960 talking about, the shit I'm speaking on. Should I really 0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:29.520 live through? Sh'all really did to survive? Should I really 0:59:29.520 --> 0:59:31.600 had to go through? Should I already learn from spots 0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:33.840 where I already bumped my head, like that's giving the 0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:35.360 people the chance to really get to know me. And 0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:37.600 I feel like that's important for people to really know 0:59:37.880 --> 0:59:40.760 who Bobby is because so many people haven't misconstrued based 0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:43.480 off of what y'all watched me do on TV for 0:59:43.480 --> 0:59:45.360 the longest time, Like they just think, oh, this nigga 0:59:45.400 --> 0:59:46.360 was a silver spoon kid. 0:59:46.400 --> 0:59:48.280 He had it all good, he was, especially when you 0:59:48.320 --> 0:59:49.080 start that young. 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:50.520 Yeah, you know what I mean, Nigga think it's all good. 0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:53.640 You know.

If not a millionaire, you damn close. 1:00:12.240 --> 1:00:13.960 They gonna keep you pumping and working, and like the 1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:16.680 internet is so powerful now. The Internet was just becoming 1:00:16.680 --> 1:00:18.840 a thing when I came up, So it wasn't like 1:00:19.680 --> 1:00:21.800 and you couldn't go and you couldn't go and grab 1:00:21.840 --> 1:00:23.680 your own audience. The only time you had an audience 1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:25.280 is when then people put you in front of one. 1:00:25.400 --> 1:00:27.919 And even with the Internet, I noticed it's like how 1:00:27.960 --> 1:00:31.520 fast you take to it?

But there's certain people that be 1:00:49.520 --> 1:00:51.720 like that. I feel a genuinely talented that are on 1:00:51.760 --> 1:00:53.600 the Internet, and I feel like they deserve. 1:00:53.640 --> 1:00:55.800 Of course a lot. You know, a lot of those 1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:56.800 people work very hard. 1:00:56.880 --> 1:00:59.800 Yeah, sticks absolutely so, Like you know what I mean, 1:00:59.840 --> 1:01:02.480 you built that audience.

What's remembered is the 1:05:55.920 --> 1:05:58.280 art that they left us, the mark they made on 1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:01.360 people's lives, and the impact they made on the culture. 1:06:01.440 --> 1:06:04.280 Like that's what remembered that the rest of this It's. 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:06.440 Funny because I don't even listen to Princess music. Really, 1:06:06.720 --> 1:06:11.400 I was obviously later, But I will say though, the 1:06:11.440 --> 1:06:14.680 impact that he made on even the music industry speaking 1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:17.160 up against you know, like owning yourself, was like, that's 1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:20.800 the legacy he left was like that brotherhood and he 1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:21.240 taught that. 1:06:21.560 --> 1:06:24.440 He was one of the first people teaching and preaching ownership, yeah. 1:06:24.280 --> 1:06:26.640 In your art, And that was like, and look, we 1:06:26.680 --> 1:06:28.320 didn't even listen to his music, but guess what we 1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:31.760 walked away with his principles. Right, So that's definitely true. 1:06:32.040 --> 1:06:35.240 What advice would you give to someone that is coming 1:06:35.320 --> 1:06:38.000 up in the game, hitting hitting their heads and then 1:06:38.240 --> 1:06:39.600 I have one more and then we out. 1:06:40.200 --> 1:06:43.600 Yeah, if you coming up in this motherfucker, you you 1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:45.360 know what I mean?

Then you got people who work 1:07:05.360 --> 1:07:08.800 twenty years and they get that boom, they get that hit, 1:07:08.840 --> 1:07:11.080 and they lit for the rest of their life. Everybody's 1:07:11.120 --> 1:07:14.480 story different, everybody's journey different. Don't think because one person 1:07:14.520 --> 1:07:16.600 made it this way that that's your way.

Like, no, don't, 1:08:16.920 --> 1:08:19.040 don't base it off a survival man, base it off 1:08:19.040 --> 1:08:19.679 of love. 1:08:19.560 --> 1:08:22.599 Bro speaking of survival lot, I really want to get 1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:25.400 into this part because I don't think it's talked about 1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:28.240 enough on one of the recent episodes that someone touched 1:08:28.280 --> 1:08:30.560 on this. But I really want to highlight this part 1:08:30.800 --> 1:08:34.160 because because of the fugazis in the world, which is 1:08:34.240 --> 1:08:36.599 money in the industry, Like one minute, you're up one minutes, 1:08:36.640 --> 1:08:40.559 you're down as a person that is riding the wave 1:08:40.640 --> 1:08:44.000 of the unknown, but believing in themselves. You're in this, 1:08:44.160 --> 1:08:46.960 You're you're already on the roller coaster. How are you 1:08:47.040 --> 1:08:49.880 managing your finances? Are you setting budgets and then just 1:08:49.920 --> 1:08:52.400 saying don't go over it? Are you doing reserves like 1:08:52.680 --> 1:08:53.120 I want. 1:08:52.960 --> 1:08:54.679 To get it. That's kind of where I'm at right now, 1:08:54.760 --> 1:08:57.439 setting budgets, trying to make sure, Okay, this is what 1:08:57.600 --> 1:08:59.160 this is what I need to spend on me, this 1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:01.120 is what the response abilities this is. You know what 1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:02.920 I mean, I put this to the side because for 1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:05.120 my son, my daughter, you know what I mean. I'm 1:09:05.120 --> 1:09:07.280 trying to just figure out, not really figured out, but 1:09:07.280 --> 1:09:10.360 that's what I mean with just budgeting and the pecking 1:09:10.479 --> 1:09:13.479 order of what's the most important, you know what I mean. Like, 1:09:13.600 --> 1:09:15.559 don't get me wrong, you always do, you always do 1:09:15.600 --> 1:09:18.400 for you always take care of yourself. But what's more 1:09:18.439 --> 1:09:20.640 important than what things and causes are bigger than you, 1:09:21.240 --> 1:09:25.479 Bigger than keep keeping my keeping my kids, make sure 1:09:25.520 --> 1:09:28.000 my kids is good. That's the biggest things. So like 1:09:28.400 --> 1:09:30.679 you get those things and you put that over here 1:09:30.760 --> 1:09:33.439 and in tier that's like tier one, that's Tier one, 1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:35.600 that's top tier, that's what's on top. And then you 1:09:35.680 --> 1:09:38.960 got tier two, uh you know what I mean, groceries 1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:40.920 and making sure your house is filled with things that 1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:43.599 you need and necessities. And then you get the tier 1:09:43.600 --> 1:09:46.160 three like okay, yeah, tennis shoes and ship like that 1:09:46.360 --> 1:09:49.240 when it makes sense, don't just go out buying. Don't 1:09:49.320 --> 1:09:51.320 go out on the five thousand dollars shoe shoppings because 1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:53.800 you know you can afford to do it, because at 1:09:53.840 --> 1:09:56.400 any given moment that five thousand and you just spend 1:09:56.640 --> 1:09:58.560 on Michael Jordan's shoes. Michael Jordan's gonna get you a 1:09:58.600 --> 1:10:00.519 dam of it back if you fucked up. Yeah, you 1:10:00.560 --> 1:10:02.639 can't call like, look, Mike, I just bought every shoe 1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:05.040 this year, and now I can't pay my rent or 1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:07.240 I can't get my son done for Christmas? Can you 1:10:07.560 --> 1:10:09.360 can you spot me five thousand and then you know 1:10:09.400 --> 1:10:12.120 I'm about some more shoes next year? Mike, Yeah, you 1:10:12.160 --> 1:10:14.280 can't do that, bro. So so that's Royn May with 1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:17.120 like just budgeting and making sure like even though the 1:10:17.120 --> 1:10:19.720 account says this, that don't mean spend that.

But hey, you see the girl, 1:10:56.439 --> 1:10:58.599 You see the learning lessons, you see the stability. Now 1:10:59.120 --> 1:11:02.880 now you're ready for every next hurricane if it comes. 1:11:03.040 --> 1:11:06.680 I've learned that like change is challenging, but it's you 1:11:06.720 --> 1:11:09.679 can embrace it. Hard stuff is challenging. You can embrace 1:11:09.720 --> 1:11:12.880 it and try your best to handle everything in love 1:11:12.880 --> 1:11:14.679 and grace. That's like my thing. Just loving. 1:11:16.000 --> 1:11:17.360 Don't give you more than you can handle. 1:11:17.400 --> 1:11:17.519 It. 1:11:17.840 --> 1:11:19.680 It just don't. God don't put more on you, and 1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:22.120 you can handle the universe whatever you believe in God. 1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:24.200 I believe in God. God don't put more on me 1:11:24.240 --> 1:11:27.240 than I can handle. So me knowing that I face 1:11:27.320 --> 1:11:30.040 everything head on if I if I fuck up, all right, 1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:31.519 what am I gonna learn from this fuck up? Because 1:11:31.520 --> 1:11:34.080 I can't unfuck up? Yeah, and I'm going to fuck 1:11:34.200 --> 1:11:36.200 up a million more times in life because life is 1:11:36.240 --> 1:11:39.240 a constant learning experience. Like that's just how this shit goes. 1:11:39.280 --> 1:11:40.920 So it's like, don't get down there and sell. If 1:11:40.960 --> 1:11:43.519 you fuck up, you make a wrong turn, figure out 1:11:43.560 --> 1:11:45.360 how to get back to the road you was on 1:11:45.479 --> 1:11:47.040 and get back on the path you was headed in. 1:11:47.479 --> 1:11:49.559 It ain't that hard. It takes it just you gotta 1:11:49.600 --> 1:11:51.880 want to for real, you gotta want to get back 1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:53.479 on the right path. You gotta want to do the 1:11:53.560 --> 1:11:55.600 right things. That's all it is like. And once you, 1:11:55.680 --> 1:11:57.880 once you really and truly and genially want that in 1:11:57.920 --> 1:12:00.400 your life and want that for yourself, then gonna start 1:12:00.439 --> 1:12:02.439 happening for you to make it easier on you to 1:12:02.439 --> 1:12:04.519 stay on the correct path. And That's where I'm at 1:12:04.560 --> 1:12:07.000 now because I make I make certain decisions differently. I 1:12:07.040 --> 1:12:10.640 do things a lot differently. So now life, life is 1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:12.120 a little easier for me to stay on this path. 1:12:12.160 --> 1:12:14.320 It's not as it's not. It's not as easy. It's 1:12:14.320 --> 1:12:15.519 easier for me to stay on the path than it 1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:17.400 is for me to veer off into some bullshit when 1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:20.639 it used to be reversed because I was so like, man, 1:12:20.680 --> 1:12:22.080 I was so eager. I mean, it's so easy to 1:12:22.080 --> 1:12:23.439 be like, man, fuck this shit. I'm just gonna go 1:12:23.439 --> 1:12:26.080 and give me twenty pounds a week and flip it. 1:12:26.320 --> 1:12:27.479 You know what I mean. I'm gonna go get me 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:29.800 this and do that, you know what I mean. That's 1:12:29.840 --> 1:12:31.360 where I was in Like, bro, nah, when you tell 1:12:31.400 --> 1:12:34.920 it like I fuck that. I'm gonna figure out some 1:12:34.920 --> 1:12:37.000 other ways and to stay on this path right here. 1:12:37.640 --> 1:12:40.360 Then it becomes easier when you really truly want to 1:12:40.360 --> 1:12:41.360 stay on that path. 1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:45.080 Yeah, yeah, I agree, for sure.
