00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: but just the whole time state period.

88
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: But when you were growing up in columb of Ohio,

89
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: what did you want to.

90
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: Be a football player an athlete?

91
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to Duke, So you want to

92
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: be a Hooper. I wanted to hop like I didn't

93
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: know that, like basketball players was as tall as they are.

94
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: Like now I've been around them South the movie and

95
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: all that, but growing up like I didn't have no

96
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: access to players. So on TV, everybody to me to

97
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: like normal height right right. And then I remember one

98
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: day somebod like YouTube short to play. I'm like what

99
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: you mean? And I finally like, I'm like, oh damn, yeah,

100
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: and this ain't gonna work. Everybody's six feet up, Like

101
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna work. But that was my first thing

102
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: was to go to Duke. And then I said, if

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna work out, Jerry McGuire is like one

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies. I said, if I can't play

105
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: the game, then I'd rather have some type of you know,

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: arm in it, which would be a sports agent. So

107
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: once I saw Jerry mcguire' say wow, it's a thing

108
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: that I could do. I could still be around sports,

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily have to get hit. I don't

110
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: have to worry about breaking the limb or nothing like that.

111
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: But I could still be IMG to it. Then that

112
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: would be.

113
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: It, right.

114
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120

203
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: So before you because okay, you're in Columbus, Ohio, you

204
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: say I want to go to Duke, but you really

205
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: come to the realization.

206
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna happen. Yeah, and so now you hipped

207
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: your focus.

208
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: Now you realized or come to the realization basketball ain't

209
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: happening now, what is the focus?

210
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: The focus was just being a kid and letting it

211
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: just happen. So I remember at the time, I want

212
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: to say, uh, I was on the football field okay,

213
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: and my mother walked up to the fence. She was like,

214
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: cam here, and I was like, all right, what's up?

215
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: Said We're going to Atlanta tomorrow, Like for what? And

216
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: she's like, I know, you said. You just want to

217
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: live a normal life. You want to be a kid.

218
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: You don't want to do the things. After the whole

219
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: death Throaw thing fell out, I was over the music business.

220
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm done with it. So but this

221
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: is God by the name of Jamine Duprex. I want

222
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: you to mean, I'm like who he found criss Cross

223
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: and growing up I was so envious a criss Cross. Yeah,

224
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: because when Snoop had me, I feel like that was

225
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: my time, even though it wasn't. And I was like,

226
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to meet him. I don't want to

227
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: go nowhere. I'm in full passing gear. I'm like, I

228
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: don't want to go. I want to be right here

229
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: about house. I want to be a kid. I don't

230
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: want to do that. Man, My MoMA like, I don't

231
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: want here none. You got to say you were going,

232
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: sure enough. I never looked back. Yep. So what.

233
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: After? You're playing sports and being a kid. So obviously

234
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: your mom realized that you have a talent. So you're

235
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: doing talent shows?

236
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

237
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: So are you in a group?

238
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: No group?

239
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: No group? Is you solo? Sol rapping? Doing RB? So? What? What? What?

240
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: What is your what is your spiel? What are you doing?

241
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: Believe it or not? It was comedy. My mom brought

242
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: me that red, white and yellow blue Fisher Price microphone.

243
00:09:59,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can take.

244
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I used to always mimic people, used to always mimic stuff.

245
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: So it went from that to my mom playing rap music. Okay,

246
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: we got a young mom. So from that then it

247
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: went to okay, he wanted to be an entertainer. There's

248
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: something in him. We just don't know what it is.

249
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: Is it the comedian stuff, is it the music? But

250
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: the way I would hold a calm or remote control

251
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: resembling a microphone in my movements, I just knew how

252
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: to imitate what I saw. And then you know that

253
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: one special night when Snoop and Dre and them came

254
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: to Columbus, I had night that was my chance, and

255
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: and that was my night to really flex what I've

256
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: been not really working on, but that I just possessed

257
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: like it just it was just second nature to entertain

258
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: and just have fun with it. And then I think

259
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: when mom saw that and saw me up on that

260
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: stage from all them people, and then Snoop and Dre

261
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: wanted to meet me, that's when they clicked for Mama, like, Okay,

262
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: this boy about to be a rap. I don't want

00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: I was I remember doing that.

313
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: You were a traveling Oh yeah, it was up. It

314
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: wasn't just no okay in Columbus. And then I go

315
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: to Cleveland, and I go to can and I go

316
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 4: to theast Ohio. You was going to state to state and.

317
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I really have to move much because Columbus, you know,

318
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: that's the capital. And then for me being at Columbus

319
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: isn't like a big city like in Atlanta or New York.

320
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: If you're ringing bells in anything sports music, like you

321
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: can seriously own the town, like they will get behind

322
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: you at rally to let you know, like you here.

323
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: So it's almost like I really have to go nowhere.

324
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the competitions that we were doing

325
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: in Columbus, I was winning them, performing at East High School.

326
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I did it like I've done it, and everybody in

327
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Columbus that they know like this boy. It didn't happen overnight.

328
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: Remember about coming to here, sneaking in here? You know

329
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: his mom and them would I mean, I did it all.

330
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: I did it all.

331
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: How did you learn that stage present? Were you ever nervous?

332
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: Because it strikes me like you're just the natural performer

333
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: and nerves was never an issue with you?

334
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: Or did you have to do develop bat?

335
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: I love that stage. I love the stage.

336
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: It's because your mom probably had you performing in front

337
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: of family and friends of the very young gay so

338
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: they come over, hey baby, do that head.

339
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: My mom would be like, don't hold stop covering the

340
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: damn mic. You can't cover the mic. You muffle all

341
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: your rappers want to cover the mic. You gotta hold

342
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: the mic right there underneath. I'm like man, it's just

343
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: it's what I'm hosting, right, But when I'm rapping, I gotta,

344
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: I gotta get in my bag. L L y l

345
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: L did it for me watching him perform. So many

346
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: similarities that I see when I look at L pertaining

347
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: to myself, heavy female records, the women fan base. But

348
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: when you watch him perform, to me, that's my idol,

349
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: that's my goal to that's my goal. That's the film

350
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: that I watch. You know, we watch film when we study.

351
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: I watch old l Cooja performances and you will see

352
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: the moves that I've stole from this man. I'm happy

353
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: to say that he knows this. Oh gee, that's my

354
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: he knows he's my goat. And when I watched him,

355
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: I was just like, Yo, this dude rocks like he

356
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: rocks up crowd. That's what I want to do. I gotta.

357
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: It's cool to have it hit. It's cool to sound

358
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: good on the record, it's cool to but when people

359
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: come see you live and console that pay they money

360
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: and the music matches, but what they see live live

361
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: is different. Right, you got you got it? So for me,

362
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: I took I take the stage very shit, and I

363
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: come from that cloth. I come from that era where

364
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: performing is everything right, rocking the crowd, rocking the house.

365
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: So LLL is the only person that I watch for that,

366
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: and you'll see it like little subtle things. The leg

367
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: thing I do is all when I'm been down, when

368
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm rapping friends, I'm is, I feel like I'm performing bad.

369
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm bad every night when I do fresh, I really

370
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing bad. So he means so much

371
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: to me, just performance wives and everything that he's done.

372
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: Did you ever get nervous and forget a lyric or

373
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: forget a step or something while you was on stage?

374
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: I get it one time. One time I was in Chicago.

375
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: That's when I first came out. Jermaine was on stage. First.

376
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: He brought me out to do bounds with me. I

377
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: come out, there are kids you not. I wrapped the

378
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: second verse on the first verse, and the completely threw

379
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: off everything. I'm hearing my ad libs saying different things,

380
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: and I promise you, I remember, like it was yester day,

381
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: the face that Jermaine had, Oh it was that. It

382
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: was like that's what it was. And I'm looking at

383
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: him like he can see it in my eyes. But

384
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep rapping, like he's saying, I'm gonna

385
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: just keep it going.

386
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: Right, But I knew the crowd. Did the crowd, Oh.

387
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: They more definitely knew. Okay, but the thing is keep going.

388
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: But I've had my misshaps and then fell through holes

389
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: on stage.

390
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: Damn.

391
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like we noticed that. I have these things on

392
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: stage sometimes where I get lunched out of yes. Yes,

393
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: And you gotta be careful because if somebody else is

394
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: coming up, if I have a surprise gest, it'll be down.

395

00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: like the end of stretch of the tour. So what

466
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: I do remember was as soon as the tour was over,

467
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: they went in production for Snoop album from Okay Style.

468
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: I was around when he made Dogs. I was in

469
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: studio sessions while Wow, they were making it and creating

470
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: it like I'm watching unk in the booth, like I'm

471
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: sitting out here just watching them work on this album, right,

472
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: And that's how I got on the album, you know

473
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? From being there, And then I did

474
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: a couple of records at leaked Day on the day

475
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: on YouTube day out. It's bad. It's bad. The language

476
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: that I was using, it is crazy. They had me

477
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: on something.

478
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, if CPS would have found out back they came

479
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: and got you.

480
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy what it was on. They

481
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: were really molding me to be a little Snoop, like

482
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: for real, I had corrupt writing my rhyms, and you know,

483
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: at that time, it was just stuff that you know,

484
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: a seven six year old should't really be rapping about,

485
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: and Snoop knew that, and then you know, that's how

486
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing kind of played out.

487
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 4: Did you feel like everything because it happened so quick,

488
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: You're six years old, you're on stage, you had a concert,

489
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 4: you see them, you go back, you start doing this.

490
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: Did you feel like everything was coming easy?

491
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: Not that it was coming easy, I feel like it

492
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: wasn't coming fast enough.

493
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

494
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, because once I got to LA, a

495
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: lot of artists, well I don't know about now, but

496
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: I know back then a lot of artists had to

497
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: sit on the label. We call that basically when they

498
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: sign you, but you're gonna wait your time. Artists development

499
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: were gonna get you right, and and all this type

500
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: of stuff. So I just felt like I was ready.

501
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: You felt you was already right. It wasn't no sense

502
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: to wait, man, I was ready. I won't it, you

503
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But obviously it wasn't my time.

504
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Chris Crosses on fire, ABC was out. I probably would

505
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: have drowned like they had the market sold up, you

506
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it was perfect timing for

507
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Snoop to be like, you know what, I know the

508
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: person I'm gonna put him with. I know exactly where

509
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: he needed to go, because this death row thing is

510
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: just not it for him, Like it's not safe, and

511
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't want him growing up being influenced by the

512
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: gang culture. Now he banging and he doing this doing.

513
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: I know exactly what to do with he. I'm gonna

514
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: place him right with Jamae Duprix, and I know he

515
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna take it exactly where I know he need to go. Yep.

516
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 4: But before that happened, you signed the death row and

517
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 4: you moved to Cali, and your mom didn't go with you.

518
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Moms ain't. Moms end up coming out there later, but

519
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: off the rip, I was staying with a Nancy Fletcher

520
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: that's that's one of Snoop's background singers at the time.

521
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: How old you you remember how you were probably.

522
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: Like six one on seven and you go ahead.

523
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of trust.

524
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: A lot of trust. But trusted Nancy with everything. She

525
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: was such a sweet person, sweetheart, took care of me,

526
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: took me in and lived with her, and I really

527
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: wasn't around the guy as much like it was a

528
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: home environment even in La that my mom ended up

529
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: coming out there later and we ended up getting an

530
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: apartment I believe Sherman Oak somewhere it was. And then

531
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: from there, uh, my mom went back and then I

532
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: went back after her, back to Columbus, and that's when

533
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to play football and just be a kid.

534
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Then we got that call.

535
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean, things are happened so fast.

536
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 4: So okay, now you rapping on the Dog Style album,

537
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: You're like, but Snoop, Snoop, not only he did you

538
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: a favor twice. He brought you out there because he

539
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: saw the talent in you, but he also saw that

540
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 4: you know what what I'm rapping about and what this

541
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 4: culture is about. He doesn't need to be a part

542
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: of this, and he moves you alone well, because did

543
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: you know that's what he was doing it for, or

544
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: you thought like maybe I'm not good enough and they

545
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: don't believe in me.

546
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: It never was a moment where I felt like I

547
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. I understood because it was so no

548
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: he never did. But it was so self experiential. It

549
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: didn't have it didn't it didn't have to the writ

550
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: ones on the wall. I seen it just being around,

551
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: witnessing the things that was going on and seeing what

552
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: seeing what Snoop was going through, I knew he didn't

553
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: have time to focus on the artist. He had to

554
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: focus solely on himself, and he felt like that was

555
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: so selfish. It would be selfish of him to worry

556
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: about him. But still having me there, I'm getting older.

557
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting older, and it's like, man, this dude, I

558
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: know this kid can go. I just got to put

559
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: him with somebody. I don't want to be the reason

560
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't make it. He has to make it, and

561
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: we have moved him out here. The next thing for

562
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: him is boom JD. And it was almost like almost

563
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: like like dropping up your kid and come to get him.

564
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: It was like here you go, JD. But look nephew,

565
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna swerve it around the block. A little later on,

566
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna meet all right. Once I got hot, it

567
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: was up and first album, second single, snow Man Dog

568
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: number one, So it's like he was right, I'm gonna

569
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: place you there and we're gonna I'm gonna come back

570
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: around and can get you. Yeah, I'm gonna come get you.

571
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: And he got me when he was onna dog father

572
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 4: Jenny Juice. Did you know what Jenny Juice was?

573
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: Nope. I just remember seeing this green bottle all the

574
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: time at Larryby Studios. Yeah, with the little red circle

575
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: on him. I'm like, man, why y'all be having that around?

576
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: And there was always some orange juice around. I'm like,

577
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: what is that? Like, let's tang around. That was the

578
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: thing back then. You don't hear, like, you don't hear

579
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: nobody talking about that, talk about bring me twenty bottles

580
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: of gin, Like you don't hear that, Like that's not

581
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the thing. But yeah, I had no clue. I just

582
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: knew this is green bottle with this red sticker on it,

583
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: and it's always in the studio or it's around, and

584
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: it's always next to some damn orange juice. I don't

585
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: get it.

586
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: But around that time Tupac was around. Yeah, and I

587
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: that you tried to sneak in the studio.

588
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, just one thing about me, I always remained

589
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: like being a kid, no matter how big I got,

590
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: no matter what I was doing, being a child and

591
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: everything to me, you know, And yeah, that's true. Pot

592
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: was working and I'm like, I got to see this.

593
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: I want to see it, and I want to see it. Right.

594
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know he even remembers me because I

595
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: opened up for him years back, but I don't even

596
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: think you know, it's the same kid, you know what

597
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean. So definitely try to sneak in most definitely

598
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to see that up post. But I'm glad

599
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: I got the chance to watch Snoop though, because to

600
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: be there to witness watching him create one of the

601
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: greatest hip hop albums of all time and say he

602
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: was in the same room and watched it how I

603
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: was and back then, how the tracks were. You know,

604
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: they used to have to get the razors and cut

605
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: the cut the tape. Like it was amazing.

606
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: Watching how it all came together.

607
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: Yep, I was there for it, Like I hear the

608
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: I played dog Eastude. Now it's like it's weird for

609
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: me because every song I just remember where I was, like,

610
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: I love, I'm glad that I was able to have

611
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: that moment.

612
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: Was sugar around that during that time.

613
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: Most definitely shit was around one hundred percent, most definitely.

614
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 4: So you left, so Snoop drops you off at Jermain Duprix.

615
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 4: What was your first interaction? What was your first conversation

616
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 4: with JD?

617
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Like why are you late? While you late? That was

618
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,879

675
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: All right, this is how old were you at that time?

676
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,520

677
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: me like eleven, right, So when I saw it saying,

678
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: I was like, when we get in that studio, that's

679
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: what I wanted. And he made me sit for a minute.

680
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: We did a song on the Wildlid West soundtrack for

681
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Will Smith. It ain't do nothing, and the song can't

682
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: do nothing, but it made it to the soundtrack, right,

683
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: It ain't do nothing. It wasn't. He was just making

684
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: sure I was ready. But I was so happy to

685
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: do that record. And I remember playing that song all

686
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: the time, like all right, we got some chemistry. We're

687
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna make some magic here. This is up. This is

688
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: me and you for life. For sure.

689
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: You understood. You said that he had Chris Crawls, the

690
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 4: Brad Usher, so you knew he had made big stars,

691
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 4: and you're like, well, hell, he did it for them,

692
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: you can do it for me. Yeah, was that your

693
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 4: thought process?

694
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: You think that? And there's sometimes where it could be

695
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: a top producer and it don't happen for you like that,

696
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: Like I've seen cats coming and so so death and

697
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: it might not work out for and I see him

698
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: leave so so Death and they blossom. So every situation

699
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: ain't is different. It's totally different, you know what I mean.

700
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: But Jermaine just he he I told him, I said, listen,

701
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not the biggest artist you have had in

702
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: your label, then I feel like I want to be

703
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: the biggest artist you ever had sand next to you.

704
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: That's what I want to be.

705
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: Why do you think you and JD had the chemistry

706
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: that you guys, that you guys possessed, You had it,

707
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: you felt it right off the bat.

708
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: Why do you think there was such great chemistry between

709
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: you two?

710
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: I think because Jermaine is the only child and I

711
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: am too. Oh okay, and also being at Jermaine was

712
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: that too, And I just think that he might have

713
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: always wanted a little brother and I always wanted a

714
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: big brother or father and I never had it. He

715
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: never had it. Twe met each other, so at first

716
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: it started out like that's big bro. That's big bro.

717
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: That's a little bro. Then it's like, nah, that's really

718
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 1: like your son, bro, Like that man me look up

719
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: to you y'all talking like you'll walk out everything. And

720
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: it was true, and I think that's what made it

721
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: so perfect. I was looking for something and he was

722
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: probably looking for something and then boom, like to this

723
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: day like I ain't got that, No son I got

724
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: he is my son, bow is my son. That's my

725
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: sont like Hell said, say it probably too.

726
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: Working with Usher, did you feel like he was gonna

727
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 4: be able to do that because you said a lot

728
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 4: of times you see guys that be with these heils,

729
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 4: these great producers, and they don't find success over there.

730
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: They go somewhere that the producer that's not a known right,

731
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: but he had Usher, and Usher was just fire exploded.

732
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: I was there for that. I was there. Look, man,

733
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: I had the Confession's album for anybody had it on

734
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: a burnt disc like coming like from the studio though

735
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Jermaine us to ride around to it before it even

736
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: came out. We was I knew, I knew what that

737
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be. And just yeah, and not only not

738
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: just my projects that Jermaine has worked on, but being

739
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: there for the Confession's album and watching him and Brian

740
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Michael Cox how they did it and you know, it

741
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: only inspired me more. And I remember Jermaine like, he

742
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: sent me to an Usher concert one time. I need

743
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: you to go get inspired. I think you just getting

744
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: a little bit too relaxed. So he sent me off

745
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: to Usher's concert and I believe it's a confessional tour

746
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: went and I was just mom blowing. I was like, man,

747
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta fit of the game. I gotta

748
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: get it, I gotta turn it back up. So Jermaine

749
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: is just a wizard of He just knows right. He

750
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: just knows how to put you in certain situations. He

751
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: knows that each artist is different, but he knows how

752
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: to tap into each one of his artists. But I

753
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: definitely told him if I signed with you, if I'm

754
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna roll with you, I want to be the biggest

772
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,960

00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: MSG for sure, the garden. And it's so many moments,

796
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm just sitting there thinking, it's so many Me

797
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: and Madonna, so many, so many memories, but that one

798
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: right there was different from me right because I'm like

799
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: all the history that happens, and it has been thirteen a

800
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: little boyfriend, Ohio, really sixteen thousand kids in here, this

801
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: is crazy. And then to do it again, and then

802
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: they come back and do it again, and then to

803
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: be thirty eight and we still doing it. It's a

804
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: blessings I know of him.

805
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: I never imagined, did you think I mean, because I mean,

806
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm trying to think if they're a

807
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: child star. That's as big as you were at that now,

808
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 4: as big as you were back then, because you had to.

809
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, teenage girls follow you. The small girls

810
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: follow you, fainting just like wanted to take a picture,

811
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 4: wanted to get a glimpse of you, wanted to see

812
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 4: just wanted to see bow wow.

813
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, one person, come to mind. The closest thing

814
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: the little bout will probably be Beaber. Okay, I'll give it,

815
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: I give it a JB. That's my man. That only

816
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: because he started young. I was thirteen though, so I

817
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: was the youngest. I'm not sure. I think Beber might

818
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: might be thirteen, fourteen whatever. But the closest that I'm saying,

819
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: because Chris started at fifteen sixteen, right, he was already

820
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: right getting to it where you know me and Bee

821
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: was probably like thirteen.

822
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 4: Years right, because when Michael blew up, he was in

823
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: the group. He wasn't solo like you and be like

824
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: you like you were like Beabs were. He was with

825
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: the Jackson five and then once he went on his own.

826
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: Good night, cut out, good night.

827
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: So what was the craziest fan interaction?

828
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: Now, this this is good. I'm in Chicago, I had

829
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: three sold our shows in one day. Right, That's how

830
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: I used to do them, theater shows. Right, We'll do

831
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: like the one o'clock, then the Mad Name, and then

832
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: we'll do the seven pm one. Right, three sod O

833
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: sholds one day. It's crazy. So during I want to say,

834
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: after the second show, yep. After the second show, I

835
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: go out to my tour bus and it's a loading

836
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: dock and you just look up and you see all

837
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: the fans waving their posters and screaming, and I just

838
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: see legs, feet and bottom of tennis shoes in there.

839
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: Girl jumped off the loading dock, off the bridge like

840
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: the tunnel and lands on the top of my tour bus.

841
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: And she was I've never seen nothing like that. And

842
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: I was like, what that.

843
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: She wasn't hurt, Nope.

844
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not getting down to you sign this, please,

845
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: you gotta sign this. We had to call the fire

846
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: department at it, come out, put the ladder up to

847
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: the bus, get her down safely. I signed it for

848
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: and in Rest's history. The funny thing is, I've met

849
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: her and I know she's watching this. I've met her

850
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: again since and she always reminds me, you know, what

851
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I jumped off your bus. I'd be like,

852
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and she's grown now, and every time

853
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: I see it, it's funny. Just she always bringing it

854
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: up all the time. But yeah, that was wild.

855
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: But during that time also there was another little came out,

856
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: Little Romeo. Was that a healthy competition between you two guys?

857
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: I really didn't feel no competition, honestly, because I never

858
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: really looked at him or nobody. Yeah, and it's not

859
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: even from like an arrogant or thing. It's more of

860
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: I was just focused on doing me. I didn't really

861
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: have time to you know what I mean, I feel big.

862
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean three million records, I'm toring arenas like It's

863
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: really no, I'm not trying to compete nobody. I'm just

864
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: doing my thing and I'm winning. I think during that

865
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: time with him and me, when he came out, it

866
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: was a lot of it was easy to compare.

867
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 2: Right because you're both young, you look wild.

868
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Wow, he got the I got the Mickey Mouse, he

869
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: got the Bugs Bunny. We both have two iconic hip

870
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: hop gurus behind this. I got JD. He got p.

871
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: It was just so easy to pin us together and

872
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: me and Rome never wanted the fans to pick and

873
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: choose and do all that for both of them. It's

874
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: enough space to eat. And we always had a cool relationship,

875
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I remember as we

876
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: got older, he told me, like, Bro, you know I

877
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: did all that. Bro, I did that cause I looked

878
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: up to you, Bro, like you know what I mean,

879
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Like I was no different than every other little boy

880
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: with braids. Bro, it was you. Why you think I'm

881
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Harlem shaking in my videos? I know that's yours. Why

882
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: do you think I'm doing the seawalk movi. I know that,

883
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: but I looked up to you, brow, and I never

884
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: told you that. And I want to say, any game

885
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: my roleses when me and Solio Boy did verses, he

886
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: came on the stage and gave another speech like balu

887
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: the Jordans, I'm the Kobe and you know soldiers Lebron

888
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: how reput it. But yeah, I never in life had

889
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: a problem Romeo, never in life. I think it was

890
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: more of and if he was here said the same thing.

891
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: It was more of the people trying to stir up

892
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: something to give the media and everybody something to talk about.

893
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: But we ain't let it happen on Have you ever

1037
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,480

1038
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: Your song bounds with me. It was in the soundtrack

1039
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: Big Mama House. How did that? How did that?

1040
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 4: How does the if you get a song on the

1041
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,479
Speaker 4: soundtrack and it's obviously the movie, how does that help

1042
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 4: a song?

1043
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: Does it help or does it really take it to

1044
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 2: the next level if.

1045
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: It's a hit, yeah, if it's a hit yeah. But also,

1046
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like soundtracks were so big back then. They

1047
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: were talking about Men in Black soundtracks, soundtracks doing double

1048
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: triple platinum, right, and yes there were the first single

1049
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: off of a soundtrack usually nine times out of ten

1050
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: was a smash record, right, and I guess that's what

1051
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: happened with Big Mama Sauce with Bouncer, because it became

1052
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: a number one record, right, and it definitely jumped started

1053
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: everything having placement in the movie, hearing it, and then

1054
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: bringing it to life with the video on how Jermaine

1055
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: presented me to because the first single off of that

1056
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: Big Mama Soaue soundtrack was him and Monica right and

1057
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: nas and he ushered me in at the end of

1058
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: that video. It was like, he's the future. Who is

1059
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: this bust through the door? It's a beat to the

1060
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: oath that they like, whoa like? Who is this little kid?

1061
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: And it was the perfect set up, and Jermaine teism

1062
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: and I remember the screen blowing up off of it,

1063
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: and then that's how we segue in to bounce him.

1064
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: He let me do a little bit of bounce them

1065
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day video and then we

1066
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: went and shot the real thing.

1067
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 4: Now, okay, you're blowing up, you're doing your rap thing,

1068

1069
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,160

1125
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,960

1127
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,120

Speaker 1: this Hollywood thing is Hawaii. This is a mess. Once

1131
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: I got to that point, I could let go of

1132
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: that feeling because then acting and being on this set

1133
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,600

00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: part two. They try to take it to the street

1226
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: ball aspect. That's when it didn't do good. To this day,

1227
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't and the fans don't consider that a part

1228
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: two to nothing. I don't even like talk about it,

1229
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I definitely feel that

1230
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: there is something there's been. I did is that we've

1231
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: been playing around with just talking nothing locked in even

1232
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: if it's my daughter or you know, does Calvin have

1233
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: a son? Now? You know?

1234
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 2: I like that?

1235
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: And my am I now is more Chestnut now the

1236
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: head coach or he's the owner. Am I still playing

1237
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'm now the yeah, like what's the dynamic? And

1238
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: we definitely can do it now, I feel because even

1239
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: women's basketball is dominating to But I just see it.

1240
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: I see the Steph Curry, I see Broun, I see KD.

1241
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: Deep book. I just see that cover of with the

1242
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: new Guys, and I think that'd be dope to do

1243
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: it if done right. And I think that it's highly possible.

1244
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: What if Nike released like Mike Shoe, I would with

1245
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: my me and Nike spoke about this and then we

1246
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: did it. I'll be happy as alsha what to come

1247
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: up because a lot of people don't know the l

1248
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: like Mike Shoe was the convers the doctor to convers. Yes,

1249
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: you have no idea like they had. We have the blazer,

1250
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: which is the shoe I actually wore the movie. And

1251
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: then we have the Converts Tar Hill with the star

1252
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: with the doctor j joont Yes, and it was it was,

1253
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: it was. We was torn between the two twentis is rock.

1254
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: They could not pick Fox could not pick. They were like, Yo,

1255
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, you gotta go with the Nike, Like what

1256
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: are we talking about here? So and they dropped the

1257
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: Blazer and people still rock the Blazers. They're come in

1258
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: different flavors. But I definitely felt like being at that

1259
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: movie was so iconic and so monumental. The Blazers should

1260
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: have came out, even me. Do you imagine how much

1261
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: money not you would have made it. They would have

1262
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 1: sold the light mic shoe, Yeah, like right in time

1263
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: in the movie release and put that shoot out right.

1264
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: That would have been crazy.

1265
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 2: Another guy that you played one on one with, Kobe

1266
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:46,959
