Speaker 1: Hannibal Burists, Hannble Burrs, slash s u tune, and then
Speaker 1: my jumping ahead in the interview, my bad man. I
Speaker 1: just feel, you know, it's it's I have to do it.
Speaker 3: Oh listen, dude. I'm I've been a big fan of
Speaker 3: yours for a very long time. I'm like a comedy nerd,
Speaker 3: So every piece of YouTube clip of your stand up
Speaker 3: I've consumed, and I just think you're a fucking hilarious guy.
Speaker 1: Thank you, man, app ship it's a lot of you
Speaker 1: do many thanks man, good interviews, you do, good work.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the homework. Yeah, I try, man, I try.
Speaker 1: So let's let's so listen.
Speaker 3: Man, you obviously have kind of always uh, I feel
Speaker 3: like it's always been pretty evident that you're hip hop head.
Speaker 3: And you sent me your song Veniers. Yeah, yeah, now Veniers.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that someone touched on this subject, because not
Speaker 3: only in hip hop, but really in hip hop, these veneers,
Speaker 3: you're running a muck aar, these fucking chompers, these giant
Speaker 3: pearly fucking I got. I got a friend named a
Speaker 3: d and he's got the biggest teeth on a human
Speaker 3: being I've ever seen. And they're not his teeth. There's
Speaker 3: so many that babies got their chompers. Gucci's got the chompers.
Speaker 3: Everybody's got the chompers. Why make a song about the veneers?
Speaker 1: Uh? You know I got mine in twenty I think
Speaker 1: it's twenty twelve, twenty thirteen when I got them? Were
Speaker 1: you e veneers I got?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I wasn't. It was the song is, uh, well, your
Speaker 1: veneers don't look fake, which is good, I think because
Speaker 1: I got them in a time where they weren't super
Speaker 1: pushed and marketed, so motherfuckers weren't doing bad jobs or something,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or over.
Speaker 3: The top veneers, because yours look natural. I would never Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I got a good dentist.
Speaker 1: The reason I did the song I had alluded to
Speaker 1: it and stand up before About the Veneers, I called
Speaker 1: them TVT and I was I saw a thumbnail on
Speaker 1: YouTube about somebody saying they had hair plugs, and so
Speaker 1: it made me think about things I'd gotten, and so
Speaker 1: I thought about my Veneers, and I'm like, yeah, that
Speaker 1: could be a that's an interesting song concept with Veneers
Speaker 1: being a placeholder for anything people get to cover up something,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Veneers the tief thing is
Speaker 1: one thing. But and so just did the song did
Speaker 1: one version of it. The demo of it has I
Speaker 1: do a drum solo and a terrible jum solo and
Speaker 1: I'm screaming, I'm not going to splice. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to splice, just going crazy on the drums. That's such
Speaker 1: your like inside joke abouts producers. Yeah, that's why is
Speaker 1: not in the song anymore.
Speaker 3: It's such a niche like like point zero zero zero
Speaker 3: five percent of the popular like he would get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So but it was a you know, I
Speaker 1: I produced it a little bit on the on the
Speaker 1: mold synthesizer app just to simple them down down, uh.
Speaker 1: And it was just a fun, fun record that I
Speaker 1: believed in and I performed it at Bruise of Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Danny Brown's event in Detroit, and it
Speaker 1: just went crazy. It was just really live, you know,
Speaker 1: and this is a song that wasn't outright, I never
Speaker 1: heard it, which is hard to it's soup. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: People were rocking to it, I think because it's slower
Speaker 1: and just easy to catch on and so that was
Speaker 1: really exciting. And then wanted, you know, just Danny liked
Speaker 1: the song, asked him to be on the remix. You
Speaker 1: have Veneers one of my one of the few guys
Speaker 1: who needed him truly, I won't say anybody needs Veniers. Well,
Speaker 1: he was missing he had missing space. Yeah, but that
Speaker 1: you know, is it? Yeah? It was kind of his trademark. Look, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was kind of kind of took away from like,
Speaker 1: you know, his.
Speaker 3: Trademark a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just still eat. You know, it's not you know,
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 2: Like having you know, it's other things that could be worse.
Speaker 1: That's the thing too with the song now, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I didn't really mean it to be telling
Speaker 1: other motherfuckers that you need Veneers. It was more of
Speaker 1: about it was like a self roasting celebration a little
Speaker 1: bit at the same time, more so than like, hey,
Speaker 1: motherfucker out there, random person with bad teeth.
Speaker 2: I don't care about your teeth that much.
Speaker 1: I was making fun of myself, but I understand it's
Speaker 1: in a song now, so people could take it a
Speaker 1: certain way. It is what it is.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this the dark side of
Speaker 3: the Veneers. Yeah, underneath your vene their little little like
Speaker 3: little things, little dumbs fangs.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, underneath his fangs beak and they shaved them
Speaker 1: down them yet for the amazing Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I saw there's a rapper named beat King from Houston
Speaker 3: and he got Veneers and uh he posted the picture
Speaker 3: in the dentist chair with just a.
Speaker 1: Fucking his underneath joints and it looks grazy. It's super crazy.
Speaker 3: So have you had like to go back and get
Speaker 3: anything because I'd be so self conscious to eat certain stuff.
Speaker 3: Do you like not fuck with an apple unless it's
Speaker 3: with a fork?
Speaker 1: No, man, I might really, you know, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: eat whatever, man. I know that. You know, judgment day
Speaker 1: will come and this song's gonna be what do you
Speaker 1: just get them fixed up? It ain't that bad?
Speaker 3: What for you like First of all, how long have
Speaker 3: you been like working on music behind the scenes, because
Speaker 3: we know you as an actor, as a comedian, as
Speaker 3: you know, an entertainer. So yeah, obviously like you had
Speaker 3: a music it's to scratch, So like, yeah, is.
Speaker 1: This something you've always done? We just didn't know about it.
Speaker 1: I recorded music before I ever did stand up, probably
Speaker 1: my last year of high school. My homie Dave had
Speaker 1: this I forget the name of this beat machine with
Speaker 1: it was blue. He made some beats on now He's
Speaker 1: made some really some really bad fun songs back then
Speaker 1: right now, before I ever did stand up, and then
Speaker 1: just earlier on in my stand up was always adjacent
Speaker 1: to it from the very beginning, from hosting you know,
Speaker 1: open mics to I battle wrapped in college just because
Speaker 1: it wasn't that much stage time to do comedy, so
Speaker 1: it was just you know, battle rappings about getting that reaction.
Speaker 1: So I said, you know, this is an opportunity for
Speaker 1: me to perform. So yeah, from doing skits on people's albums, sure,
Speaker 1: talking and hosting shows, opening on Folks shows, to you know,
Speaker 1: having music on my show, it's always been, you know,
Speaker 1: been directly adjacent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, You've always kind of you've, like I said, you've
Speaker 3: been in You've been involved in like hip hop culture
Speaker 3: from the jump. I feel like, so it's like for you,
Speaker 3: it's like you have to have a certain level of
Speaker 3: confidence to be like I'm gonna because it's a vulnerable
Speaker 3: thing to put music out into the world as as
Speaker 3: somebody who's known for this other stuff. Yeah, you're kind
Speaker 3: of putting yourself out there for criticism, and it's your
Speaker 3: art at the end of the day, Right, So, like,
Speaker 3: was there a certain was it that moment where you
Speaker 3: performed the song like or was this just always the plan?
Speaker 1: Like it was a plan, but it was definitely that
Speaker 1: part of it was talking about driving the project since
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, fourteen, but that was an ongoing process of
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm doing this shit and I know
Speaker 1: I could do it and just being in it. And
Speaker 1: so I think doing more shows helped, you know, shit
Speaker 1: that because that's what I come from doing stand up.
Speaker 1: You just do stand up repeatedly. So I was just
Speaker 1: doing hell of shows and that would just help build it.
Speaker 1: And then it helped me form my new songs my
Speaker 1: first project.
Speaker 2: Those songs, I liked them, and there's some some fun.
Speaker 1: Stuff on there, but they were kind of made during
Speaker 1: you know, twenty twenty one, not really informed by performing.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So now the songs is, you know, I've performed them
Speaker 1: before I put them out, so I'm tweaking them too
Speaker 1: sometimes or rewriting and seeing what connects with an audience
Speaker 1: or recording after doing the show, after having that type
Speaker 1: of energy. So yeah, it took a while to build
Speaker 1: it up, just because especially when finance is involved, and
Speaker 1: of course it costs money. It costs money, and it
Speaker 1: just that's where the money's coming from. Like that's not
Speaker 1: where the offers are coming from. You know. Initially people aren't, hey,
Speaker 1: come rap is that's all me? Are certain that side,
Speaker 1: and people say, come do a movie, Come do stand up,
Speaker 1: come do this, come do all these other things except
Speaker 1: for what I'm actually spending my days doing. So navigating
Speaker 1: that part because that's not what the external communication was.
Speaker 1: It was something, But now it's just I'm in a
Speaker 1: good place. I've done a bunch of shows, had a
Speaker 1: fun opportunities year that you know, I know, I'm in
Speaker 1: a situation that the average up and coming rapper is
Speaker 1: not in just because of my previous career. So I
Speaker 1: get a couple of looks that fucking might ne.
Speaker 3: People are, I mean, and you have, you know, wrapped
Speaker 3: up a lot of friends along the way, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it So it's been. People have been really
Speaker 1: supportive beyond you know whatever. And that's what I try
Speaker 1: to focus on now, is it's always gonna be. Even
Speaker 1: when I started doing comedy, some folks no, don't do comedy,
Speaker 1: you know, right, So that that's with anything. But it's
Speaker 1: been so many people that's super supportive and helped out
Speaker 1: from you know, the roots. I went out there wrapped
Speaker 1: that pitchfork with them, you know what I mean, And
Speaker 1: and uh, John Mulaney was playing United Center. He's like,
Speaker 1: you want to open. I'm like, I want to wrap.
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, So I got to wrap in
Speaker 1: United in front of a comedy already with twelve thousand people.
Speaker 1: But it's up and then you know, yeah, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, that's Annibal as Animal.
Speaker 3: Oh he's rapping all right? Yes, but I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, it's so it's uh, it's been.
Speaker 1: It's been really exciting because it puts me in that
Speaker 1: that mode of of that I was in when I
Speaker 1: first started doing stand up. Well, I don't have that
Speaker 1: with stand up. Now. I'll do some stand up, but
Speaker 1: it's for the dough. Like I'm not showing up to
Speaker 1: pop up, but I'll show up to it. I'll show
Speaker 1: up at a hip hop over Mike, and I'll wrap
Speaker 1: for eleven people. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's almost like you're like, like, because I feel like
Speaker 3: that is a part of like when you always hear
Speaker 3: comedians talking about like the come up, going to the
Speaker 3: comedy store, doing all these open mics, trying to do
Speaker 3: five shows in one night to work on your material. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it feels like like one of those times in your
Speaker 3: life where you probably reflect on and be like, man,
Speaker 3: that energy I had when I was just trying to
Speaker 3: make Yeah, it's similar.
Speaker 1: It's similar now. It's that feeling now because every because
Speaker 1: it's a lot of different possibilities and and you know,
Speaker 1: it's a different conversation with the audience through the music.
Speaker 1: It's similar. It's communication, but it's a different you know, conversations,
Speaker 1: different structure to it.
Speaker 2: The beats can guide you a little bit.
Speaker 1: And it's been it's been cool man, and and and
Speaker 1: the records is getting better and the show is getting better.
Speaker 1: And and and we're learning and releasing music is doing
Speaker 1: music is a skill you grow at that. Releasing music
Speaker 1: is a skill too in itself, and so I'm learning
Speaker 1: that part of it, how to drop music and how
Speaker 1: to So it's just all of the growth and excitement.
Speaker 1: I'm hyped every day. Man. Yeah, you said previous careers.
Speaker 1: So you're done with like stand up and acting.
Speaker 2: Uh not done, But I ain't.
Speaker 1: You're focused on I'll do I'll do comedy to cover
Speaker 1: the cost.
Speaker 2: Right now, That's what it purely is.
Speaker 3: Your comedy career is now funding your music, and it's
Speaker 3: just and just allowing me to fast.
Speaker 1: I did a University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. They booked it
Speaker 1: was their comedy you know night for the semester, and
Speaker 1: so I do my ship. I had a band there,
Speaker 1: and so I usually my recent comedy Giggs. I'll just
Speaker 1: do songs at the end after doing an hour whatever.
Speaker 1: Now I try this for mat I'm doing. I'm starting
Speaker 1: off two songs, then I do twenty minutes to stand up,
Speaker 1: doing another song in the middle and coming there and
Speaker 1: do like thirty minutes to stand up and then close
Speaker 1: out two songs. You know, that's kind of dope. It's
Speaker 1: a fun show man, that'd be a great show to see.
Speaker 1: It's a fun show, and it keeps it lively for me,
Speaker 1: and it makes And that's so I enjoyed doing stand
Speaker 1: up in that scenario with the with the band playing
Speaker 1: under and it's just creating a whole vibe. Last year,
Speaker 1: I was very I was in my I'm doing music
Speaker 1: mode and I was turning down a lot of shit
Speaker 1: with stand up with no I'm trying to rap it
Speaker 1: like we don't know about all right past and so
Speaker 1: now I figure out how to get both how to
Speaker 1: finagle it like or I just you know, once I'm
Speaker 1: in adult you ain't gonna pull me out the stage
Speaker 1: anyway for rappings, Like I'm on stage already, so it's
Speaker 1: not to tell me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's there.
Speaker 1: Now I'm in that zone of you know, figuring out
Speaker 1: how to make it work and and not so locked
Speaker 1: in on just the identity I'm doing music right now
Speaker 1: and leaving the food don't to me about That's where
Speaker 1: I was. I was in a real that's because it
Speaker 1: was still fresh, you know, in your your mind stay
Speaker 1: changes and grows, so it's uh, it's hell of exciting, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's a fun time and.
Speaker 3: You get a healthy balance between the two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a dope show or another format I do.
Speaker 1: If I'm playing you know, music venue, pop up, small
Speaker 1: cap like three hundred five hundred, I have an opener,
Speaker 1: then I do stand up. Then I have the band
Speaker 1: jam or a music opener or two fifteen twenty minute
Speaker 1: come back out and I come back out do the music.
Speaker 1: And so then i've you know, I'm warmed up because
Speaker 1: I already doesn't stand up, so I'm lose two, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So and it's a separate set,
Speaker 1: change fits or something throwing some shape, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like making the whole different thing. So it's
Speaker 1: been cool to kind of figure out the live experience.
Speaker 1: I really care about the live show and making the
Speaker 1: shit dope and on point, and you know, motherfuckers come
Speaker 1: out the house to see you. It's it's a very
Speaker 1: important thing. So there's been times where I didn't, you know,
Speaker 1: nail it, or I was, you know, foned it in
Speaker 1: on shit, and so now I really cherished the live
Speaker 1: experience and how to make it really dope.
Speaker 3: I always say that like the hardest, like probably bravest
Speaker 3: thing anybody can do is just fucking go on stage
Speaker 3: and try to do stand up because your job is
Speaker 3: literally like you're like, the feedback is instant. You know
Speaker 3: whether or not you're good because people aren't there to
Speaker 3: fake laugh and they're out there to they want to laugh.
Speaker 3: People are there to laugh, So if you bomb, it's
Speaker 3: like it's got to be just I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you compare that to getting comfortable
Speaker 3: on stage as a rapper, because you're already comfortable on stage,
Speaker 3: like this is kind of what you do.
Speaker 1: So with the rapping, you can do a lot on
Speaker 1: your own. I think you can if you really are
Speaker 1: being about it, you can really improve your stage show
Speaker 1: as a as a musician, you could take leaps and
Speaker 1: bounds over the course of three months, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like just huge leaps. Yeah, you can take
Speaker 1: huge leaps in three months as far as your music
Speaker 1: show stand up. I don't know if you take the
Speaker 1: same leaps just three years reps.
Speaker 3: It comes to you know, life experience and come from
Speaker 3: send back and then you get better or you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 1: So that's the one where you know you can kind
Speaker 1: of you can and even in process you could pull
Speaker 1: things from people with this being in the studio. It's
Speaker 1: not stealing something. It's just like, oh I see I
Speaker 1: am a feller. Just get the thought you see say
Speaker 1: you hear somebody rap and say, okay, get in the booth,
Speaker 1: get that down. You know, like somebody's just syst that
Speaker 1: that gets other people to act on their instincts in
Speaker 1: the in the room.
Speaker 3: Right is I think like sharing creative juice is a
Speaker 3: little bit more encouraged. Yeah, that type is so like
Speaker 3: if you sampled some shit or like took a cadence
Speaker 3: from another song and put it on your song. It's
Speaker 3: it's not like a crazy thing in comedy if they
Speaker 3: perceive you stealing jokes, you almost like it kind of
Speaker 3: like blackballed at Yeah, it's a uh you just lose
Speaker 3: yourself in this ship more. Uh.
Speaker 1: Where I was on the show recently, I was trying
Speaker 1: to it's a lot to think about it if you
Speaker 1: want to think about it while you're in your show.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You got band, you got lights,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff. It's a lot to think
Speaker 1: about if you want to think about it. But then
Speaker 1: I had the middle of the show, I was like
Speaker 1: just where about the next line and saying the ship
Speaker 1: out of that, and the physicality that comes with that,
Speaker 1: like each each bar and just and then that compounds
Speaker 1: throughout the show and then the show. It just went
Speaker 1: up in one of my best shows because the energy
Speaker 1: was there and I just focused on each line and
Speaker 1: just being in it. And so yeah, man, it's it's
Speaker 1: been a real cool time because you know, last year
Speaker 1: this show was better than last year's show. Next year
Speaker 1: show gonna be better than this year show, and so
Speaker 1: on and so forth.
Speaker 3: You grew up in Chicago, right, Yeah, so give me
Speaker 3: kind of your like are like, what are what are

Speaker 3: than the original because I found the Hay Remix first
Speaker 3: on like a one of those fucking singles. Used to
Speaker 3: be able to buy it, like the warehouse or Yeah.

Speaker 3: do or Die?
Speaker 1: In juke music, man, juke music not on the red.
Speaker 1: But that's just the production of juke music is a
Speaker 1: big influence. You know, I produced sometimes too. So my
Speaker 1: track but I Was at the Airport is kind of
Speaker 1: that faster paced, chaotic one sample you know.
Speaker 3: That was that in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just always. You know, if you go

Speaker 1: didn't know what he was talking about as a kid,
Speaker 1: but that ship sounded fly and I memorized it. Uh.

Speaker 1: that shit that you know, the Sanders. Yeah, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: there was a CD that I had as a kid,

Speaker 1: and every song was a different NBA player rapping. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and like Jason Kidd had a song, Fucking Mitch Richmond
Speaker 1: had a song.
Speaker 3: It was just like terrible music. But I bought it
Speaker 3: because I was like a basketball fan. I was like, wait,
Speaker 3: I could hear all these NBA players rap. It was
Speaker 3: a bad, bad purchase at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you think Shaq did it all right?
Speaker 1: He had some joints just having a Is it more
Speaker 1: about them having this in the room with them to
Speaker 1: get it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because I think Shaq had some ship. Yeah he had to,
Speaker 3: you know, you can't stop doing some joints and good
Speaker 3: presence too. Just he had black thought on ship. He
Speaker 3: had he before once that jay z nos Beef got
Speaker 3: out of hand, you could actually go back and Shaq
Speaker 3: had a song with both them on the same record.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So was it these basketball players?
Speaker 2: Were they really bad?
Speaker 3: I think was actually a decent rapper?

Speaker 3: who was dropping like you know he had he was
Speaker 3: like Ellen Iverson aka Jewels, and he had an album
Speaker 3: that was just all kinds of fucking street shit.
Speaker 1: You know. I think he might have gotten in trouble
Speaker 1: for putting that album. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: He was talking to crazy shit as like a millionaire,
Speaker 3: as like a guy who's got his own rebox shoe.
Speaker 1: People got to express man. Sometimes just some stuff that
Speaker 1: you can't say with the dribble in a jump shot.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta just get in the steward, let
Speaker 1: that shit fly for sure. We got it. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this with twenty thousand people
Speaker 1: around me. I don't want to say this by myself.
Speaker 3: Who is your in your like go to when it
Speaker 3: comes to artists that you're you've you've got, you know
Speaker 3: obviously building friendships with where you can send them records
Speaker 3: and get their opinion back on them.
Speaker 1: Uh, Open Mike Eagle. I sent him a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I said, open Mike Eagle some stuff? Who
Speaker 1: else I was sending I was sending a lot of
Speaker 1: people stuff When I made my track Kept about Three.
Speaker 1: It used to be called Kawhii freestyle. It was like
Speaker 1: fourteen minutes long, and I was it was November twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: so deep pandemic. Oh yeah, that's the perfect time that
Speaker 1: I would never send people just a fourteen minute freestyle now.
Speaker 1: But I was so hyped about it and I just
Speaker 1: felt I felt the progression and just liked how the
Speaker 1: track sounds. And I was just sending out to everybody.
Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, look I can.
Speaker 3: Rap for foes.
Speaker 1: It was. It wasn't all cool. He's we had it.
Speaker 1: It definitely has, you know, we cut it down, but
Speaker 1: it was an exciting time. I was sending that to
Speaker 1: everybody I knew at the at the time, I said,
Speaker 1: that's a hell of people just say, look like I
Speaker 1: sent this shit. But yeah, Mike, give some good, good
Speaker 1: feedback on stuff, and uh, it's just stuff to fly low.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll sit, you know, just see what he thinks.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's been it's been dope, man. It's just
Speaker 1: you know, just keep on learning, progressing. I want to
Speaker 1: be able to play drums in my set three five
Speaker 1: years from now. You know, I'm practicing ship and you know,
Speaker 1: getting on.
Speaker 3: That show that I remember seeing him live, crazy and
Speaker 3: I didn't doing the whole ship. And I remember seeing
Speaker 3: that pitchfork hears back and I didn't know you could
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: I thought I didn't know that was possible. I thought
Speaker 1: that was for my mother.
Speaker 3: He playing keys or playing guitar or only on the
Speaker 3: mic and not the d He's just shredding on the
Speaker 3: drums while doing all his verses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it is tough.
Speaker 3: He's an alien for sure.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, man, it's been you know, it's dope
Speaker 1: to learn, and it's this exciting time man for short time,
Speaker 1: just to work on the work on the ship and
Speaker 1: getting the details of it.
Speaker 3: We talked about this off off the air, but I
Speaker 3: was telling you how much I loved you on the
Speaker 3: Eric Andre Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That show was revolutionary in my opinion. We were talking like,
Speaker 3: I feel like it really did have a heavy influence
Speaker 3: on guys like Kayla Presley and Homie Marker or not
Speaker 3: Homi Marko. Homi Marker was my friend, Funny Marco. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and uh, there was just some of the wildest shit
Speaker 3: ever on that show, and you were like the funniest
Speaker 3: fucking co host, Like give me kind of like the
Speaker 3: I know a lot of the people who came onto
Speaker 3: the show had some sort of idea it was like, oh,
Speaker 3: maybe a Comedy Central show, but they really didn't. Did
Speaker 3: most of the people like not really have a clue
Speaker 3: what the fuck they were walking into.
Speaker 1: First couple of seasons, and especially the first season was
Speaker 1: probably the you know, the purest version of it because
Speaker 1: they it was. But it wasn't that many celebrity fake
Speaker 1: celebs on. There were so many random the video quality
Speaker 1: was lower, it had a different aesthetic, and and that
Speaker 1: one it really wasn't anything, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It had no no history or no footprint for people
Speaker 1: to research, so it was just people. The folks that
Speaker 1: work you know, popping on would taking a chance shout
Speaker 1: out to dof Lungern and send back who else.
Speaker 2: Was on that first season? But those are fun man.
Speaker 1: And then as it grew, some people were fans of it.
Speaker 1: Every want to come up, and I think some people
Speaker 1: still didn't you know, know about it. I can't speak
Speaker 1: for everybody's experience or due diligence on that, of course,
Speaker 1: of course, but if some people definitely surprised and like,
Speaker 1: whoa what is happening? People? You know, uh, like are
Speaker 1: you there?
Speaker 3: You're you're there for the TI episode, right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: So what happens when it's cut?
Speaker 1: You know, I want to say the TI episode that
Speaker 1: Dick popped up through the table.
Speaker 2: Sure, I know it was like some stuff from the.
Speaker 3: There was the floor, and then I think that he's
Speaker 3: talking about taking a bone pill and then a fucking
Speaker 3: dildo just shot up through the desk, And so I'm
Speaker 3: just wondering once it's over, how awkward is the like
Speaker 3: hey man, like or they're like, yo, fuck y'all.
Speaker 1: Like, I mean I saw him at other stuff after that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't really. I just socialized too much.
Speaker 3: After Or was it like ever a point where like
Speaker 3: we didn't see a lot of the crazy shit like
Speaker 3: because people were really mad?
Speaker 1: Or did anybody ever get really mad? Because there was
Speaker 1: some wild got mad? Maybe one chick Cukee Lauren Conrad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Laura Conrad, maybe Lufarrigo or something was upset. Yeah it didn't.
Speaker 1: It's uh, yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: It's been a minute too, Like That's why I'm like
Speaker 2: trying to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like just the last full season I did
Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: You know, they had like these versions of you after
Speaker 3: that like yeah, which was fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh he did.
Speaker 1: You know, they do good with story and just you know,
Speaker 1: having the clones and stuff like that. But for the
Speaker 1: final season, well not the final season, for my final
Speaker 1: season only work one day. That was in twenty nineteen. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a well, you know, well made show
Speaker 1: for editing the chaos.
Speaker 2: You know, the editors really.
Speaker 1: They kill it.
Speaker 3: No, it's all about the editing, editing doing it and
Speaker 3: they do really good at like cutting cuttings and just
Speaker 3: making you know, so it'll be stuff.
Speaker 1: Since I'm not in that edit everythings I forgot about
Speaker 1: sometimes and I'm watching. Oh I didn't expect y'all to
Speaker 1: do that. Uh yeah, some good times.
Speaker 3: Speaking of TI, Yeah, you guys are kind of reversing here, right,
Speaker 3: he's on rapper, Yeah, trying to get into comedy. Right,
Speaker 3: you're a comedian, perceived comedian. You've always done music, but
Speaker 3: you know you're a comedian getting into being in a
Speaker 3: hip hop artist. Yeah. What do you think about t I?
Speaker 3: Because I've seen him starting to like pop up and
Speaker 3: do like more open mics and stuff. I know he
Speaker 3: was kind of like in the beginning, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of these unsaid like comedian rules that he was breaking.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he didn't know about, but I know he's
Speaker 3: getting a lot of hell amongst the community of stand
Speaker 3: up snobs. But like, what do you think about Tip?
Speaker 3: And have you have you got to see him live
Speaker 3: at all?
Speaker 1: Having got to see him live, it's a tougher jump, man,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, to take away the beats
Speaker 1: and those uh yeah those and then you also kind
Speaker 1: of while you're doing stand up, you're.
Speaker 3: Fighting against those memories in the crowd head, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's a tougher jump. And it's not because he's on stage.
Speaker 2: And they're like, what you know about that big ship, Papa?
Speaker 2: You could do it of you like that's you can do.
Speaker 1: Smashes, you know what I mean? That they remember. So
Speaker 1: it's a tougher you know, he's taking on a real
Speaker 1: it's challenging for any but that's the the musician two
Speaker 1: comedian role is way tougher, especially if you're like, let
Speaker 1: people do it, superstar.
Speaker 3: It's not like I was just like, you know, like
Speaker 3: a yeah, decently big rapper who toured. No, he's fucking t.
Speaker 1: I like, yeah, I mean he love. You know, he
Speaker 1: wanted to take the challenge. He really he enjoyed doing
Speaker 1: it and getting something out of it that maybe the
Speaker 1: music can't do. Right now, he's still doing music, but
Speaker 1: he enjoyed the stand up. So I think you're taking
Speaker 1: taking beats away. Man.
Speaker 2: It's tough.
Speaker 1: And so it's you know, he working at that shop
Speaker 1: and you have to make people laugh.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna laugh because they like your music, right,
Speaker 3: They're gonna laugh because it's a natural reaction to something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they they that's the thing that's ship in here. You know,
Speaker 3: they might show up because they like your music, show up,
Speaker 3: they laugh.
Speaker 1: Right, It's a tougher it's a tougher role, man, stand
Speaker 1: up a tougher road. That's why I don't do it
Speaker 1: as much anymore, because it is just like i'd rather
Speaker 1: just you know, tell some stories over these beats that
Speaker 1: I like that I and then practice that shit fifty
Speaker 1: times before I even see people.
Speaker 3: You know, right, I was gonna say for you, like,
Speaker 3: how much of the music is kind of, you know,
Speaker 3: semi comedic where you're able to kind of like, hey,
Speaker 3: I might make this song because I know it's gonna
Speaker 3: be funny, and I know I can make a great
Speaker 3: music video to make people laugh because you played me
Speaker 3: some other shit where you were like borring the fuck out. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 3: so for you, is it like a because you're obviously
Speaker 3: a funny guy. You enjoy creating and you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I was battling with that early on, like,
Speaker 1: oh can I do funny songs? Can I do? But
Speaker 1: then can I talk about this and be normal or whatever?
Speaker 3: It's just just do what feels right or what feels
Speaker 3: good conceptually, and just be honest and know it's it's
Speaker 3: honest parts. You know, these all different parts for years
Speaker 3: is a real part of me. And the song about
Speaker 3: you know, my upbringing in Chicago and high school and
Speaker 3: almost getting robbed.
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. So it's just being true to
Speaker 1: that and you know, performing it, rapping it with with
Speaker 1: clarity and confidence, and and writing it to the to
Speaker 1: the best of my ability, and you know, trusting it
Speaker 1: and all of that. So yeah, I don't you know
Speaker 1: some of the like on the single side right now,
Speaker 1: they're a little more playful Veneers and the next one
Speaker 1: out ways withinnis Emma. You know, after the album, I
Speaker 1: have more songs that are big, grounded. You know, and
Speaker 1: have elements of humor and some songs is borrowing out.
Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to you know, put together the
Speaker 1: full project. And uh, I don't even have a name yet.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about calling it Teetering on the Edge
Speaker 1: of Reality, Okay, but that's just that's a that's a placeholder.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet.
Speaker 3: Have you found out like, are you like trying to
Speaker 3: are you just doing it independently? Are you collaborating with
Speaker 3: a label like this independent? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Straight indie, straight indie, Yeah. District of Pocket, Venice, Venice, Yeah, district.
Speaker 3: They're a great distribution company, the distribute my homegow tweet
Speaker 3: shout out to tweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, they as some some good artist
Speaker 1: services over there. But yeah, just you know, want to
Speaker 1: do well put it out. I don't really have I
Speaker 1: think I think it's got some good records, man. So
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to put out that type of body
Speaker 1: of work and design to show around us around it
Speaker 1: and have these different experiences.
Speaker 3: You know, right, what are your thoughts on like, because
Speaker 3: I think when I want to say, when I first
Speaker 3: moved to la I moved out here the beginning of
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen and it felt like it was kind of
Speaker 3: like maybe the peak of like the com Many store
Speaker 3: being just like a crazy place to go to and like, yeah,
Speaker 3: just pay for a Tuesday ticket and just see who comes,
Speaker 3: Like I say, Chappelle there, I said. It's it's like,
Speaker 3: it feels like Joe Rogan moving to Austin and opening
Speaker 3: this comedy mothership, and it feels like a lot of
Speaker 3: that kind of energy has moved to Texas. Like have
Speaker 3: you got to go and check out his new club
Speaker 3: or I haven't been.
Speaker 1: To the to the club, but I hear that people
Speaker 1: having a good time and comedians get get paid well nice,
Speaker 1: nice facilities, well designed spot. What I've seen online about it,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's it's it's dope that he got that spot.
Speaker 1: I haven't really been out doing comedy much in La Man.
Speaker 1: I really be at the music stuff in the studio.
Speaker 1: I haven't been popping up like that. But so, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a different it's a super different time.
Speaker 3: It almost feels like nowadays right like if you're if
Speaker 3: you're back in the day, yeah, you would want to
Speaker 3: get into movies, you would want to get into having
Speaker 3: a sitcom as a comedian, Like nowadays you just gotta
Speaker 3: like you gotta kind of have a podcast.
Speaker 1: Podcast. I mean that's a big that's the you know
Speaker 1: kind of the mixtape.
Speaker 3: It's like the mixtape for comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like everybody you get, you drop the podcast.
Speaker 3: You get people excited. So then when you hit the road,
Speaker 3: they come and buy tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they get to see you in a you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still a performance, but it's it's more
Speaker 1: toned down, more natural. You don't have to play for
Speaker 1: that laugh, So they get to know you more as
Speaker 1: a as a human being. So it's it's why a
Speaker 1: lot of the folks have found success because they and
Speaker 1: you're able to just do it. It's low cost. You
Speaker 1: do a bunch of you can do five a week.
Speaker 1: You be like, okay, I'm doing the sports. When I'm
Speaker 1: doing it, you could really really work it and let
Speaker 1: people see different different sides. The podcast game. It's got
Speaker 1: people playing really big buildings, man out here and selling
Speaker 1: a lot of tickets. It's, uh, it's a cool It's
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. You'll
Speaker 1: see like like shout out to my guy Shoals.

Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how that's happening. It's
Speaker 1: some people you like that's dope, but then it's some
Speaker 1: people I don't understand how that's happening right, Yeah, have.
Speaker 3: You uh take take me back as somebody who had
Speaker 3: high interest in comedy, high interest in music? How dope
Speaker 3: was it? Like? Was there uh when the double XL
Speaker 3: cover came out with Dave Chappelle Dead Press, I want
Speaker 3: to say Kanye was on there, Telemqual, he was on there.
Speaker 3: He did such a good job of bringing the two
Speaker 3: worlds together with the Chappelle shown. Just I just think
Speaker 3: of that whole and the block party, and I just
Speaker 3: it was amazing, like like for you, like how how
Speaker 3: how you know? Important was that as an up and
Speaker 3: coming comedian who's also obviously an artist, Like he did
Speaker 3: such a good job I think of it. I really
Speaker 3: feel like he successfully bridged like two eras of comedy
Speaker 3: and music together.
Speaker 1: Definitely. Man, it's just how he he brings people together,
Speaker 1: and with his shows and and and performances, it's been
Speaker 1: cool to to really watch. I snuck into a Chapelle
Speaker 1: show years back when I was in Chicago. I think
Speaker 1: it was four h five when he was doing stand up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the height of Chapelle show Congress Theater, and I
Speaker 1: ain't have money for a take, and I tried to
Speaker 1: and it was I was just started. I've tried to
Speaker 1: like go in and be like I'm a comedian. It
Speaker 1: like that doesn't No one cares, White cares, and so
Speaker 1: I just started looking around the building and just found
Speaker 1: an open door, got in and got in, and uh
Speaker 1: so it was did I was wild And then the
Speaker 1: you know, years later to do a lot of shows
Speaker 1: with him, It made it super surreal, like damn, I
Speaker 1: used to sneak in your ship. He's super cool too.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I got really high with him once. Uh it
Speaker 3: was actually a four Day's album release party. It was me,
Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle and uh the guy who played Steve Rkle,
Speaker 3: Julia Julil White. Yeah, and I was like, this is
Speaker 3: interur Like what is happening right now? Man? Someone told
Speaker 3: me as a twelve year old, I'd be in a
Speaker 3: fucking joint circle with Dave Chappelle and Steve. I had
Speaker 3: a Steve Vernkle toy as a kid, like the pull
Speaker 3: Did I do that? Like it's crazy? Man, life is
Speaker 3: made up? Man stuff happening. Yeah, when do you plan
Speaker 3: on putting out this this album?
Speaker 1: Man? July July? Targeting July twenty first, and then looking
Speaker 1: to do I'm doing sb's June fourteenth.
Speaker 3: Hey, that's a big deal for any up and coming
Speaker 3: to hip artists to do an SOB show.
Speaker 1: I'm hyped about it, man. Just to you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've performed there years back, ten years ago. Shit with Chance.
Speaker 1: Actually I did stand Up for a Chance twenty thirteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just celebrated that birthday of that, So shout out
Speaker 1: the Chance. And so I'm yeah, I'm hyped to do
Speaker 1: the SOBS man as in headlining. Yeah, headlining, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna do the you know, stand up
Speaker 1: and music set, so I do stand up at the beginning,
Speaker 1: special guests and stuff. And who's opening for you? A
Speaker 1: comedian or an artist. I think we'll have one comedian,
Speaker 1: one artist. May a couple of artists probably have. I
Speaker 1: got Highlay Supreme. It was dope singer. He produced one
Speaker 1: of my track knee Brace and this other track Paradox
Speaker 1: on my project, and so he's amazing performer. Actually he
Speaker 1: give me a little tips in the studio where he'll say, hey,
Speaker 1: you got a smile while you're recording. They can hear it.
Speaker 1: They can hear it through the mic. They can hear
Speaker 1: it through the mic. And so I'll do a take
Speaker 1: and if you sounded and that sometime if you're doing
Speaker 1: a take and then it'll sound flat, and then I'll
Speaker 1: I'll recut and and and smiling, it'll sound completely different
Speaker 1: than you're thinking. That.
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, that's somewhere. I mean, that's like the
Speaker 3: little ship like that. Yeah, you gotta kind of know
Speaker 3: from being in the studio so much.
Speaker 1: He'll he just he'll he'll stand in front of you
Speaker 1: be like hey, man, like doing warm up ship. And
Speaker 1: so it's always just dope to learn from folks. It's
Speaker 1: always something to to learn from and and improve as
Speaker 1: far as the apply studio and the show man. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be and I'm I'm the show gonna be
Speaker 1: on on point.
Speaker 3: S OB's Wednesday, s OB's June fourteenth. You do anything
Speaker 3: in La, I'm gonna do something. I'm supposed to do
Speaker 3: the Moroccan. It might be in the fault when I'm
Speaker 3: in La. I don't have anything set, but I'll do
Speaker 3: something in La soon, probably around the album drop.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always wonder, like with the you know, we always
Speaker 3: hear about like how it's a little harder to do
Speaker 3: certain jokes nowadays, cause pople get offended. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: a lot of that's a little blown out of proportion.
Speaker 3: But you know, we are in a much more sensitive climate,
Speaker 3: a much more divisive climate, right do you think it's
Speaker 3: a lot harder for stand up comedians nowadays?
Speaker 1: I can't speak to it like for really in them,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm not living it in the same way.
Speaker 3: Even like two or three years ago. Like you know,
Speaker 3: like I feel like it's just like people get I
Speaker 3: just I feel like people are all as much as
Speaker 3: they want to laugh, they also want to get offended.
Speaker 1: Nowadays, you gotta do your shit, man, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That ain't over really, you know, there's always
Speaker 1: as many people's If people offend it, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: other people that want that type of stuff. So you
Speaker 1: just worry about your show, where about who's there, and
Speaker 1: just right and perform to the best of your ability
Speaker 1: and instincts, and that's that's the gig.
Speaker 3: Were you doing any of the stuff in Ohio the pandemic,
Speaker 3: like those shows that Dave was doing.
Speaker 1: I did one?
Speaker 3: What was that like? Because he was kind of like
Speaker 3: the first guy still kind of like I've heard about it,
Speaker 3: Like you had to like get tested on the spot.
Speaker 3: It was outside, it was in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of people taking flights to go
Speaker 3: o Hio to go to this show because it was
Speaker 3: almost like the only thing. Yeah, I gotta get to
Speaker 3: Ohio because I can go watch comedy, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like, yeah, I did it.
Speaker 1: It was before because I did a drive in tour,
Speaker 1: which I regret.
Speaker 2: How was that terrible?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad, but it was just you know,
Speaker 1: you wanted to do something. And then that first show,
Speaker 1: after that first show, I said, how many of these
Speaker 1: we got? What am I doing?
Speaker 2: And done it? Cancel the whole ship?
Speaker 1: Man? It was it was it was, you know, because
Speaker 1: the comedy. How many comedians were on tour with you?
Speaker 2: It was, uh, it was.
Speaker 1: It was my date. So I brought I brought a
Speaker 1: couple folks, I think. Yeah, I brought me one or
Speaker 1: two folks. And then I did a double bill with
Speaker 1: Thundercat at the at the in the Rose parking line.
Speaker 1: But it was just doing stand up in that setting.
Speaker 1: It just gotta be got to wait because you want
Speaker 1: you're waiting for the reaction and you stay in their
Speaker 1: cars or they stand sitting outside. But then that even
Speaker 1: it's not a typical outdoor getting anybody where everybody set. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's no vibe, I think. I mean, I'll hopefully
Speaker 1: never have to do something like that again, but I
Speaker 1: know how i'd approach it. Now, you want to you
Speaker 1: do that? And if I have to do stand up
Speaker 1: in that setting again, I would do it in tandem
Speaker 1: with somebody because then you you can bounce off of
Speaker 1: each other on stage, or I would be doing doing music,
Speaker 1: which yeah, it was with the Cleveland show.
Speaker 2: It was the first short the tour.
Speaker 1: It was by Interstate, So on stage, your eye line
Speaker 1: is Interstate, so it's trucks going and then so my
Speaker 1: right it's train tracks Jesus, and then the train got really.
Speaker 2: Active during my set. So it was just so much going.
Speaker 2: And it's my first.
Speaker 1: Uh, your first time doing stand up in a while,
Speaker 1: because first time doing stand up in a while, and
Speaker 1: I just, uh, I think maybe a day or two
Speaker 1: before I found out my daughter was gonna be born,
Speaker 1: but I did not want to talk about it there,
Speaker 1: and so that's really was on my mind. And then
Speaker 1: I got these other distries, so I wasn't really able
Speaker 1: to give an honest show or a focused show because
Speaker 1: I see a FedEx, you see trucks and rains keep
Speaker 1: on going. But then they were all in the car,
Speaker 1: so they got perfect audio of me just bitching about
Speaker 1: the train. So it's not it's not the same as
Speaker 1: when there's a Heckler or something that everybody this motherfucker's
Speaker 1: loud and you roast them in there. My experience and
Speaker 1: on stage was completely separated from the experience in the car,
Speaker 1: So it made it. It was a weird gig. Man,
Speaker 1: it was a weird gey I'll never forget it. But
Speaker 1: some of them got better over time. How many did
Speaker 1: you do? I think we did it, maybe six or seven.
Speaker 3: You can take the b. Kreisher guy. I think he did,
Speaker 3: Like I think he kind of like did that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the whole time.
Speaker 1: Like it was just it's doable. I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: definitely not. You know, it's it's and it's not you
Speaker 1: know we you know, it got better towards the end
Speaker 1: once we figured out figured out what this is the vibe, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is it, this is how I'm gonna feel.
Speaker 2: And I had this bit that we were doing.
Speaker 1: Since we're doing drivings, I make this character called carsh Mellow.
Speaker 1: It's a DJ character, same aesthetic as marsh Mellow, but
Speaker 1: only playing songs about driving, so cruising by uh, Smokey Robinson,
Speaker 1: all these drive slow. That's his whole playlist is made
Speaker 1: the costume for him, for the character and everything, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this is about go crazy at the first
Speaker 1: show and it was like, oh no, they never really
Speaker 1: fucking with Carshmello like that. We got I had a
Speaker 1: designer for this. She didn't.
Speaker 2: She didn't.
Speaker 1: She'd include a bunch of matchbox cars to a jumpsuit
Speaker 1: and had the whole fucking suit, costume everything. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then it was like, okay, we have to we have
Speaker 1: to figure out how to introduce Carshmello better in these
Speaker 1: other cities, Like, okay, Carsmelow needs a hype man. I
Speaker 1: can't just be out there on his own ship.
Speaker 2: It it was, you know, it was experiment.
Speaker 1: It was fun. But those those gigs, man, they would
Speaker 1: definitely they were something yeah something though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what was the Chappelle setting, like obviously during
Speaker 3: the pandemic because you said you only did one of them.
Speaker 1: Right, I did one of them, uh and that was
Speaker 1: right before though, So it was it was I remember.
Speaker 2: I specifically remember being backstage.
Speaker 1: And I hadn't been anywhere minute, especially not a show,
Speaker 1: and so I remember they had maybe some Jollie Ranchers
Speaker 1: or something some type, and I was like, oh yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: be snacks and ship down backstage. I forget, like I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember anymore. Yeah, like, oh yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: you do go backstage. And they got everyone's got access
Speaker 1: to the same bowl. So let me put this jolly
Speaker 1: rancher in.
Speaker 3: Some before I opened it.
Speaker 1: Uh, And so I had a good set man, but
Speaker 1: it was definitely I remember not being fully.
Speaker 2: Feeling fully socialized.
Speaker 3: Yet being such a weird time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, being in a room and kind of like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's up y'all? Nay, it was you know, it was
Speaker 1: it felt it felt off. It was a lot of
Speaker 1: little stuff you guys catch it. Yet from that time, Uh,
Speaker 1: I remember a couple months in, I was I was
Speaker 1: dropping off a Touro car that I was I was
Speaker 1: renting out here, and then uh, I was running late,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to I want to get it washed
Speaker 1: before I dropped it back off. And I was like,
Speaker 1: hey man, I'm running late. I gotta stop at the
Speaker 1: car wash. He was like He's like, no, I don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. And that's a nah doubt because because
Speaker 1: I hadn't had no nothing to do with so long.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you want to go to the car don't
Speaker 1: take this from You're not taking this errand from me, dog,
Speaker 1: I am, I'm going to the car wash. And then
Speaker 1: the car wash hits differently when you ain't been doing
Speaker 1: ship that's just a whole productionist. You know, the car
Speaker 1: started moving water. I was like, this ship is fire.
Speaker 1: The car wash after you've been in the crib on
Speaker 1: pandemic momument, the car wash hit like specially so late
Speaker 1: if you're.
Speaker 3: Dying the car wash if you really like, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a trip, it's a man.
Speaker 1: It made me just appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, damn this car wash fire dog, And I mean, like,
Speaker 3: how do I what can I take away from.
Speaker 1: This car wash apply to my show.
Speaker 3: As somebody who has done skits on albums before and
Speaker 3: as a fan, you know, skits are a lost art
Speaker 3: form in hip hop, especially on albums. I don't hear
Speaker 3: skits ever, really, but are you gonna do any skits
Speaker 3: on the on your body of work? Are you kind
Speaker 3: of staying away from that because it may be expected.
Speaker 1: No, we have some.
Speaker 2: Necessarily skits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a couple of just different pieces of
Speaker 1: other interviews that I've heard, we got, you know, we're
Speaker 1: using some stuff as interluds from jam sessions. There's a
Speaker 1: little dope moments that I remember from jam sessions that
Speaker 1: might not you know, then I didn't develop into full
Speaker 1: songs ideas, but you know, taking thirty seconds from this thing,
Speaker 1: there's this fun moment and using some stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So I definitely a really trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: to make it cohesive and have a lot of dope
Speaker 1: hearts and and little little moments because I had some
Speaker 1: fun jams man where you know, That's what I like
Speaker 1: about creating music is that most of them I could
Speaker 1: kind of pinpoint, you know, exactly when what you know,
Speaker 1: what what else happened that day, sometimes with with when
Speaker 1: I made certain songs, and uh, and it's a time
Speaker 1: capsule for for that, so uh, you know, like really
Speaker 1: digging into the archives for a little bits and and
Speaker 1: and making it as.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be a dope project because the production
Speaker 1: is already set to just need some little more, just

Speaker 3: Then there's like the dark age where you get Art
Speaker 3: Test and Jamal Crawford and Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler,
Speaker 3: and then then there's the spike of Derreck Rose. Right now,
Speaker 3: the team's just kind of like there's good players, good names.
