Speaker 2: You said the man dick smell of empty red ship.

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: I said, God damn you for one.

00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:38,120

Speaker 1: We are super excited about it. Man.

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to figure out, when I look at

10
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 4: this resume, how the hell you had enough time to

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: do all this?

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Man?

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: How you have to do all this? You have more

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: than twenty four hours.

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 5: Of your day evolution to the fullest right here.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Now, now, I got you know, I got some great

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: people people around it.

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 4: That's right, That's right.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, great, go ahead, I got, I got.

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: I got the very very first question for me.

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: The pivot that you made.

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Obviously, you know what I'm saying, going back to Boys

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: in the Hood, which was one of my favorite movies

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: when you played Dope Boy with Jerry Kirk.

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 5: All that ship.

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: But is that is that where cataported your mind and

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: thinking and saying I could do this on my shout

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: out to the late great obviously John Singleton. But is

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: that where you looked at it and said, I could

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: be on this other side and I could do that.

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: Because what I just want to know where your mind

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: started thinking bigger than just being a worker and thinking

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: of being a boss.

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I came up around a few bosses,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, starting starting with you know, a guy named

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Lonzo Williams, who uh who ran the record crew. He

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: had his own you know, he did his own promoter's,

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: own clubs, He had his own record label, put out

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: his own records. He was a promoter too, He brought

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: in artists watching him, you know, then watching the late

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Great Easy go from you know, hustling on the street

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: to you know, selling millions of records. You know, it

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: was amazing to see his transition. But yeah, you know

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: when I met John Singleton and he put you know,

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: he put me in that first movie Boys in the Hood,

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I just got big by the bug and I saw

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: somebody that was pretty much my age, you know, controlling

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know, directing, He had something to

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: do the soundtrack, he had something to do with uh,

51
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, editing and promotion, and you know he he

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: he told me I could do it. You know, he

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: looked at me one day and said when you're gonna

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: write a movie, you know, when you're gonna put in

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: some work so that all, you know, put the bug

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: in my hair head to to go on this route

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: when you're doing when you're doing music and then movies.

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: Is there is there a lot of similarity similarities in

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: that as far as producing writing, is it is it?

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: Is it kind of staying in the same lane. Is

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: that what it is? Or is it is it completely different?

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: Like obviously I can't do either of them, so like

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: how does that work?

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I think it's completely different because you know, with a

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's similar, Like if I was in a

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: big group, it would probably be similar. But to put

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it in perspective, you know, to make one movie you

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: need over one hundred people in all different aspects working

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: hard to bring it together, you know. And to do

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: a record, I can go in there with me and

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: my engineer and my producer and come out with a record.

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: So you know, you can actually, you know, work work

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: on the record by yourself if you wanted to. You

74
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: can work on music by yourself. You know. Prince used

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: to produce all or a lot of his music just him,

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: and so with a movie, there's no way know, how

77
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: can you do it by yourself? So you got to

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: be a team player to do movies.

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: How hard is it on the movie side, because what

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: you're saying is exactly you know, it don't makes sense

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: when you go to put a movie together. Obviously the

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 4: idea starts right when you do a Friday or Now

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: you got to figure out who's gonna fit those roles,

84
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: so you do. You're hand on hands with all of that.

85
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: First of all, getting a hundred people on the same

86
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: goddamn page, period, I can't even get I can't even

87
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: get tend motherfuckers on the same page. And you got

88
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: a hundred people on the same page.

89
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you try to find craftsmen, you know,

90
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: you try to find people who who love the project,

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: who who want to you know, show their skills, who

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: are very passionate. You know, whether they doing wardrobe, you know,

93
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: whether they doing sound, they could be doing catering. You know,

94
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: they want to feed everybody, make sure everybody eat right.

95
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's uh. You just find people that take

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: pride in they they in they craft. You know their

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: name is going up there too at the end when

98
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: the end credits go, you know, they name go up

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: there too. And if somebody say, hey man, the food

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: was nasty on this movie, everybody go look and see

101
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: who did the catering, and you know it can mess

102
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: up your next job. So, uh, you got to just

103
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: have people who are passionate. It's like playing. You know,

104
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: everybody getting paid different amounts, but that don't matter when

105
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: the ball go up. You know what I mean, when

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: the ball go up, it don't matter who getting paid what.

107
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, everybody gotta do their job.

108
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Do your job, man, time is money in the in

109
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: the movie game. So basically when we on set, everybody

110
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: got to do their job and do it at a

111
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: high level.

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: And then when you said, like you know what I'm saying,

113
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: everybody doing their job at a high level, we got

114
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: to give your flowers because a lot of people that's

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: like who we watch right now, who we particularly watch meeting,

116
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: do you know what I'm saying. African American culture, a

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: lot of these guys got they start or got kind

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: of put on the scene. When it came to you,

119
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: I was like, I remember my first time seeing Mike Epps,

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: I remember my first time seeing Kat Williams. You know

121
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, I remember my first time seeing Chris Tucker.

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: You know a lot of these guys you know kind

123
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: of got they start, or maybe not they start. Maybe

124
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: they were doing you know, comedy and little you know,

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: comedy shows and different things like that. But on the

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: big screen when you brought them to us, and you

127
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: brought them to you know, people who were in Miami

128
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: and people who wasn't getting a chance to see them.

129
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: A lot of that started with you. So how was

130
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: you able to kind of run it to these guys,

131
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: discover these guys, meet these guys and know they were

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: good to work with in the future.

133
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Well, you know what's great. When I was putting all

134
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: those movies together, it was something on called Death Comedy

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Jam Oh yes, know, and you know, Comic View and

136
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: all these places would highlight the best comedians of the day.

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I just got a knack for talent.

138
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: When I see, you know, somebody do one thing, I say, hey,

139
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: you know that that person could do a movie. You

140
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: know this person, you know, if I got a role,

141
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: this would be the perfect person for it. And you know,

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: I grew up, you know, watching people like Robert Townsend,

143
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, put together great movies, great ensembles with different comedians.

144
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a kid that used to watch you know,

145
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: Sad Night Live and Live in Color and all these

146
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: shows who took very you know, different comedians and put

147
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: them in different situations and show their talent. So I

148
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: dig that style. You know. I like making funny movies,

149
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not a comedian, so you know, I want

150
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: to find the best people to put in the movie

151
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know that people are laughing and

152
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: people enjoying theirselves. And so you know, I'm proud of

153
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the people that I've been able to get them opportunity,

154
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: and not only give them opportunity, but then you know,

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: they able to run with it, you know, not just

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: you know kind of you know, you know, get there

157
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: and not show up on the moment. You know, you

158
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: need them to show up on the moment. You know,

159
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: like you said, you got some you got some some

160
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400

161
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: pm players, you know what I mean. You know, when

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: the popcorn starts smelling and and all that stuff. So

163
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: same thing with acting. You got people who might be

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,360

Speaker 1: it's cool that all those guys and girls was able

169
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: to step up to the challenge.

170
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: It's funny you said that because I just want to cool.

171
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,320

175
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: that seven thirty.

176
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,120

181

296
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: was a Big three basketball. So talking to me about

297
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: big ye, how that all, how that all started, and

298
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: what your idea was behind it, because it's it's a

299
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: super dope idea. I just it's crazy to see, like

300
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: I'm saying, That's why it's fun to have this conversation

301
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: right now. Is Okay, we went from music, we go

302
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: to movies, and now we touch basketball. And you've been

303
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: ultra successful to everything you've done. So how did you

304
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: come up with Big three? And what what would you

305
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: think the idea was at the beginning, and how did

306
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: you obviously orchestrate and put it together?

307
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, as a fan, that's really what idea came.

308
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to see more hoops, you know, I use

309
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: I usually hibernate after the finals until until football starts,

310
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: so all us all us. I figured, yeah, you know,

311
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: so I figured, like damn this two and a half

312
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: months that nothing I really dig is popping. And so

313
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, this idea of three on three. I love

314
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: three on three. I played more three on three than

315
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: five on five. It's always been like the little cousin

316
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: of five on five but never got no shine. So

317
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, years ago, you know, over a decade ago,

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: I was wondering, why hasn't this been elevated to the

319
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: pro level. You know, I would see different little three

320
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: on three you know, kind of weekend warrior tournaments pop

321
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: up outside on the black top, and I was like, man,

322
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: why this not inside in the arena with pros? You know,

323
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: could you imagine seven foot is playing three on three?

324
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And so that's where the idea started to, you know,

325
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of germinate. Then, you know, I started talking to

326
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: my partner, Jeff Kwans. He was you know, he me

327
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: and him just kind of start beating the idea off

328
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: each other. But what kicked us over the top was

329
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Kobe scoring sixty points in his last game. Now we

330
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: was like, if a dude can score sixty points in

331
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: his last game, he got so much game left, but

332
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: nowhere to play, you know, nowhere to display it on

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the professional level. And so that's when we started to say, hey,

334
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: let's start thinking about what it would look like. And

335
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, we spent a year just kind of

336
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: bullshitting talking about rules. You know, what would it look like,

337
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: How could we be better than the other leagues. How

338
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: could we treat our players better? You know, let them

339
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: pick their own team, you know, you know, fucking GM,

340
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like, you know, like

341
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: we started to think of what's cool and how do

342
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: we bring the best out the players. We start thinking

343
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: of ways to get him to play hard, you know,

344
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: all different All Star games and stuff, and we was like, dude,

345
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, you should get a little more if you

346
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: win than if you lose. You know, that'll probably bring

347
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: out the real game. And so we spent twenty sixteen

348
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: calibrating the idea, and then we start talking to you know,

349
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: the real ogs, you know, Iceman, Clyde Drexler, doctor j

350
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Is this a good idea? Would you be a part

351
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: of this? Gary Payton, Chauncey Billups, Jermaine O'Neill, Bonzi Wells,

352
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, were talking to all this the old Jesus,

353
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: this a good idea? Would you be a part of

354
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: a part of it? And all of them say yeah.

355
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: And twenty sixteen into twenty sixteen, Kenyan Martin was the

356
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: first one to actually sign the contract, and we was like,

357
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: we got credibility, you know, we got k Mark that

358
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: give us a ton of credibility first number one overall

359
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: pick you know what I'm saying. And so from there

360
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: he you know, Jermaine O'Neill, you know, all the OG's

361
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: start to really sign up and buy into the idea.

362
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: And you know, to make a long story short, we

363
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: launched in twenty seventeen, been rolling ever since. You know,

364
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: it's been a labor love to get this league to

365
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, you know, we got the best professional

366
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: three on three basketball league in the world. Uh, and

367
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: we're very proud of it.

368
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 4: Shit Cube, I grew up. I grew up in South

369
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 4: Dakota and three on three was survived then, like our

370
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: age group three on three basketball, those terms what you're

371
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 4: talking about where the ship and what you said in there,

372
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: like talking about even Kobe that inspired you because at

373
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: that age it's true because they have a lot more

374
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: to give, and these players have a lot more to give,

375
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: but they just can't do it for eighty two games

376
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: up and down, compete against consistently for you know, like

377
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: they can't do it. So what you're doing, man, like

378
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: literally three on three was the fucking vibe, Like that

379
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: was what we see, Like you rolled out of the

380
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: park and it was three on three turns every Saturday

381
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: and Sunday. And I know I'm coming from South Dakota,

382
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: so I know it's even better than every every other us,

383
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: every other place. But that's just the best three or

384
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: three basketball is elaite to me.

385
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you have to you can't hide. You

386
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: can't be a specialist in three on three. No specialists.

387
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta be able to pass, dribble, shoot,

388
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: and defend or you're gonna get exposed. And and these

389
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: guys there, they've honed their skill level too, you know,

390
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: to the to me to the Apex, and they know

391
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: all the tricks of the trade. They know everything you

392
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: need to know to to get loose in the Big Three.

393
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: And so you know what's cool now, we're starting to

394
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: open it up for younger players. So we got some

395
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: of our younger stars coming in doing their thing too,

396
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: and so it's, uh, the league is growing in a

397
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: way that we that we envision and and you know,

398
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: we're just gonna keep fanning the flames.

399
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: And again, what I love about it is that you're

400
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: creative and outside the box. Obviously you've you've shown your

401
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: creativity throughout your career with everything else you've done, but

402
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: even talking about the Caitlin Clark stuff like that had

403
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 4: been unbelievable. What what actually happened there, because there's rumors

404
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: all over the place like that had been that had

405
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 4: been an unbelievable platform for her as well. So so

406
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 4: if you can touch on that a little bit that

407
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: had been that had been dope.

408
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: Well, we're proud that we've changed the game for the better.

409
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: We believe the guys in the Big three are playing

410
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: the right way. You know, rules are innovative, four point shot,

411
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: bringing the fire, which you can challenge your file once

412
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: a half, make the guys go one on one to

413
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: see if it was really a file, you know, all

414
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: that cool stuff that you really can't really pull off

415
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: in five on five. So you know, we we have

416
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the first female head coach just to win championships and

417
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: coach of the Year with Lisa Leslie and Nancy Lieberman

418
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: and so, uh, you know, we we we didn't know

419
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: if if she was up for the challenge, Caitlyn Clark, uh,

420
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: but we wanted to, you know, give her a real

421
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: offer and not only changed the game for her, but

422
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: changed the game for all women in sports. You know,

423
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: getting an offer like that, it really raised the eyebrows

424
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: of a lot of you know sports, you know, the

425
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: whole sports world really and you know, now they're talking

426
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: more about the compensation and and and and you know

427
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: some of the perks that the women are getting now.

428
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: But here's here. We we offered her a five million

429
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: to play for two years. So she walked away with

430
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: ten little little equity here and there, but we knew

431
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 1: it was a big step, you know, her, you know,

432
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: trying to play with the men at the professional level

433
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: would have definitely opened up the minds of a lot

434
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: of people. You know, whether you know she was successful

435
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: or not, who knows. But we think she could have

436
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: been because we've had small guards in our league get loose,

437
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, Mark mood Up, Due Raouf, people like has

438
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: he got you know, yeah, you know, these guys was

439
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: able to get loose. They're not that big. And so

440
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: we felt like, okay, she could shoot from range, she

441
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: could pass, she she may have a shot to do

442
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: great in this league. We believe her her not lawyers,

443
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: but her agents blocked it a little bit. You know,

444
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: we never got a chance to actually have a conversation

445
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: with her and her family. Uh, the agents really didn't

446
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: want to see that happen, in our opinion. You know,

447
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: they have too many you know, they they make their

448
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: money off NBA players, you know, not w NBA players,

449
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: So they're not gonna piss the NBA off for one player.

450
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: And so it didn't happen. But we're proud that we

451
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: get you know, we we made the offer and hopefully

452
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: we opened up the minds of you know, people who

453
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: run basketball, who are involved in basketball at the highest levels.

454
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 4: And just a touch on that, like I think, you know,

455
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: you talked about some of the details in it. We

456
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: heard all the most of the details, we didn't hear them all.

457
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 4: But the fact that I heard that she was still

458
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of playing the w n b A,

459
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: that's like, like, so she had the whole thing, Huh.

460
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 4: She had She had basically played Big Three play w

461
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: n b A and had the equity and the money,

462
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: and I mean, that's that's an unbelievable opportunity too.

463
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 5: Really had that.

464
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean during our season we only had one

465
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: game that was a conflict with with the fever, and

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: we were willing to move that game so should be

467
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: able to play in both. So yeah, you know, like

468
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: we would have made it work for in every which way.

469
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: You know, you know we could have and and look,

470
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: it was a big it was a big swing. You know,

471
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: it would have unlocked a lot of dollars as far

472
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: as sponsor wise, for the league, ticket sales ratings. You know,

473
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: you you definitely are not doing your job if you

474
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: don't go after a player like this.

475
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: That's what's so good about telling you the way you

476
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: guys are running Big three and being innovative and you know,

477
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 4: thinking outside the box. That's gonna that's what's gonna keep

478
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: thriving in that it's gonna it's gonna be fun to

479
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 4: watch watch.

480
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: You know. I mean that's what we've been doing over

481
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: the last eight years is calibrating the league and making

482
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: sure it was fun to play for the players, fun

483
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: to watch for the for the fans. We ain't gonna

484
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: tinker with it too much. Is we think it's great.

485
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: First to fifty win, so it's a sprint. And you know,

486
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: one shot free throws is great. You know, seeing somebody

487
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: shoot three free throws is a motherfucker. But seeing them

488
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: shoot seeing them shoot four what made you make your

489
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: leader arena. So we we we said, you know, one

490
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: shot from the four point circle if you get fouled

491
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: that far. So you know, these little innovations just make

492
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: the game go quicker, making more bite size for these

493
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: new fans who on their phones and you know they

494
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of on the move.

495
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I got one question because I want

496
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: to circle back to what you said about you know,

497
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: maybe the agents, you know, kind of blocking it and

498
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: you know, things like that. How has that been when

499
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: you're dealing with the NBA and this specific situation with

500
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: Kitlyn the w n b A and you know, not

501
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: being seen as we're being seen as a competitor, not

502
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: being seen as an asset, or being seen as a

503
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: situation where you know you can help you know, retire

504
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: NBA players or maybe even help a player that can

505
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: come into the Big Three and they can say, oh shit,

506
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: he might have a chance to play on our level.

507
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm saying something like that.

508
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: How has it been not really having that support, Because

509
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: we talked about this before prior to this, you.

510
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: Know, it's been it's been challenging, but it's been rewarding too,

511
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: because we know, you know, nobody has helped us get

512
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: to this point, you know, and they can't really discredit

513
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: what we've accomplished. We have changed the game for the better.

514
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: We think it's silly, and when you really look at it,

515
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: most of the NBA loves us. Yeah, the players love us,

516
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: The coaches love us, gems love us, owners love us.

517
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, NBA fans love us. We just got a

518
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: problem with with the brass, you know, the Adam silver

519
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: Mark Tatum. Them guys feel threatened and they don't. You know,

520
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: we could have worked together all these years and we

521
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made a move without their blessing. But now,

522
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's better for the game that

523
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: we are away from them, so we can do things

524
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: that's cool, innovative. We can make the game fun but

525
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: still keep it serious. You know, one thing we pride

526
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: ourselves on is we play the game the right way

527
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: as fast. It's physical. We let trash talking happen. If

528
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: you go down, nobody gonna get a tech. You know.

529
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: We let the players be themselves. You know, nobody want

530
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: to pay to see robots play, and so be yourself.

531
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: Your personality is is welcomed in the Big Three instead

532
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: of shunned and and the players love it, fans love it.

533
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: That's what the fans want to see is it's entertainment.

534
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: But between the lines, it's deadly serious and it's it's

535
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: great to have that, you know, you know that that

536
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: finger on the pulse put it that way.

537
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's a mad game.

538
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: Boy, I'm telling you, like three on three, like you say,

539
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: you can't hide and you and week Link, somebody gonna

540
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: go at you and go at you and go at

541
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: you and go at you.

542
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: You know, some dudes don't want to smoke man. You

543
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: know that when they when they done, when they done

544
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: with the NBA, they like, manh nah nah they going,

545
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: they going a little too hard out there and Big three.

546
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: So it's good to have that reputation. But I think

547
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, fans want to see they don't want to see,

548
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, people scoring one hundred and forty points and losing.

549
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: You know who want to see that. You know, it's

550
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: like gotta gotta bring the d back in and make

551
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: it a balanced game. I think fans dig it.

552
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: No, the hardest the hardest thing for me when you

553
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: when when you started the whole thing was because the

554
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: fans want to see competitive basketball. Yes, and and the

555
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: guys that the people, the players, the players that you

556
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 4: have coming in now once you roll about there are

557
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 4: gonna be competitive now, making rules and stuff that implement

558
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: so that we can stay competitive. But like you said,

559
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: like no one wants to come watch a one eighteen

560
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: old men play basketball, but to compete to fifty to

561
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: do that stuff, I think I'm telling you it's gonna

562
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 4: be It's gonna be fun. So June fifteenth, it starts

563
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 4: again this year, right, any new rules that we're.

564
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: Need being ready for nothing new. Everything is working, so

565
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: we don't want to you know, if it's if it

566
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: ain't broke, don't break it. You know, that's my motto.

567
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna. You know what's great about

568
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: the league now, you know most of our coach has

569
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: been there almost a decade. You know, we've had doctor

570
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Jay hey years, We've had Iceman you know, eight years,

571
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Rick b eight years. You know, it's it's been cool

572
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: to have these Gary Payton been there from day one, yeah,

573
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, Rick, Rick Mahorn. It's just been cool to

574
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: have these ogs there that long. And now they really

575
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: understand our rules, they really know how to win in

576
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: the big three. They know how to use everything available

577
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: to win the game. And so that's the beauty from us,

578
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, from from from our you know, invention of this,

579
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, version of three on three to see people

580
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: implement the rules and what's going on to win the

581
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: game and come back and come from behind and and uh,

582
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: it's just it's been amazing to see it all come together.

583
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, even though you might not have the direct support

Speaker 2: Yeah, fans too, because I mean growing up obviously, you

623
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 2: know where we grew up, and well, South Dakota.

624
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 5: I can't see he keeps doing this.

625
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Obviously growing up, you know what I'm saying, where we

626
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: grew up in the inner city, Dog, And it's like

627
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: just seeing somebody obviously that look like us, that go

628
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: through some of the same things we go through, but

629
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: also speak about it, you know, in a way that

630
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: we can understand it. And you've always done that. You've

631
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: always spoke about it in a way that we can

632
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: understand it.

633
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 5: You've always brought it to our people.

634
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: And sometimes you need people like that because I know,

635
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 2: for me personally, like a lot of things don't get

636
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: to my community and get to my people. We got

637
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: to see it on TV or we got to read

638
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: about it, but nobody don't bring it to you. You

639
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: always brought it straight to us, you know what I'm saying.

640
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: You brought it straight to us. Whether it was through

641
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: the music, whether it was through the movies, or whether

642
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: it was through the Three Big Three, three on three.

643
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 2: You brought it to your people, Dog, and we appreciate that.

644
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody you know, being down, and I think

645
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: that's what the artist is supposed to do. You know,

646
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: I look at the artists back in the day, from

647
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Rovin Gaye to Stevie Wonder, you know, artists. I grew

648
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,600

649
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,560

Speaker 1: started hanging out and really understanding what it took. You know,

699
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,640

00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: wanting to get out the game. You know, it was

715
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: just too much. And so he started to want to

716
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: do music. And he had a group out of New York.

717
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, he had founded some guys from New York

718
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: that was in l Ah. So he just knew this

719
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: group was about to blow because they was from New York.

720
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: That's how That's how That's how we was thinking back then.

721
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 4: So that straight out of Compton thing is like almost like,

722
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: how's it here? Telling story again?

723
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how it went down. That's how it went down. Yeah,

724
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: And so I wrote a song for him because I was,

725
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, dre like Howard wrote. We was doing mixtapes

726
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: for the neighborhood and we was talking about what was

727
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: going on in the neighborhood. You know, this was stuff

728
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't think we could sell on the radio,

729
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: you know, in the record store. You know, this was underground,

730
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: and he was like them, the kind of records we

731
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: need to make you know y'all y'all trying to sign

732
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: run them seeing the Beastie Boys and ship, when when

733
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: y'all need to we need to be talking about what's

734
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: going on around here, like y'all doing those mixtapes. While

735
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: y'all do the good stuff on the mixtapes, but when

736
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: y'all get in the studio, y'all want to do these

737
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: bullshit rap records, you know. So uh So, you know,

738
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 1: he wanted me to write him a song for his group,

739
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: but he wanted it hard. So that's when I wrote

740
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: Boys in the Hood, and his group didn't like it,

741
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: so Drake got him to wrap it and and we

742
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: blew up. You know, he blew up from there.

743
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 5: You know.

744
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: Drey said, Yo, I want you to do your own song.

745
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: Easy said, I'll pay for it if you do your

746
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: own song. So I did a song called Dope Man.

747
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: The other side was a ball rolling. So you know,

748
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: we we we just through through, you know, through working

749
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: with Easy and him letting us do what we was

750
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: feeling and do what doing what we wanted to do.

751
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: We was able to develop this style and we just

752
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: kept going with it.

753
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: But it wasn't it wasn't really embraced at first, well,

754
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: it was embraced in y'all community, but outside of y'all community,

755
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: it wasn't really embraced.

756
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 5: So the struggles of no, no, it was it was.

757
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: It was embraced everywhere. No, no, it was different. It

758
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: was it was what it was was. We didn't think

759
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: we could sell a million records talking that dirty because

760
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot of it wasn't a lot of

761
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: explicit raps that were selling gold platinum, you know. So

762
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: we was like, yo, this is we're going the hard route. Like,

763
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, we don't think we're gonna we're gonna have

764
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: a chance. First, we're from the West Coast and we

765
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: we're not from New York, so that's that's that's making

766
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: it even harder for us to bubble. And now we're

767
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: putting all this profanity on the record. You know, our

768
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: shit gonna be like where they put the Eddie Murphy

769
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: and Richard Pryor records, you know, like where they put

770
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: the dirty comedy records. You know, That's what we thought,

771
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: and it went the opposite. So it flew up past everything.

772
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: It was embraced by the by the coaching and by

773
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: the people, but it wasn't embraced by the elders and

774
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: you know, the community. When you came to the cities

775
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: to do concerts and do shit like that, it was

776
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: embraced by the crowd and people that hilarly listened to it.

777
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: But the other people wasn't embracing it. So how did

778
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 2: that make it to go to the city and do

779
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: a show or make it, you know, go somewhere and perform.

780
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: How was that? It was crazy? You know one time,

781
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, they wasn't gonna let us perform in Cincinnati.

782
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: And the mayor was an ex Bengal. He had played

783
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: linebackers for the Cincinnati Bengals and became the mayor and.

784
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 5: Shit, so nobody from Cincinnati but Ikey Woods my bad.

785
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: Yeah no, na, he became the mayor. And so we

786
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: was like, man, we just need to talk to the dude.

787
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: You know, if we could talk to him, he'll let

788
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: us perform. So mean ran and the promoter flew in

789
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati early. When we got off the plane, they

790
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: jacked us like some eight you know, I don't know,

791
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: undercovers jacks put us against the wall. Then you know,

792
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: the promoter going crazy. Uh, the promoters like man, y'all

793
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: put your hands down. What are y'all doing?

794
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 3: Man?

795
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: We here talk to the mayor. What are y'all doing?

796
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: So got out of that incident. We went to go

797
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: talk to the mayor, and we was just saying, man,

798
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: we just want to do shows. You know, it's like

799
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: this is how we this is what we grew up

800
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: around in our neighborhood and this music. We were actually

801
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: being positive because you know, when we got off the planing,

802
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: y'all thought we was dope dealers and they threw us

803
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: against the wall, but were not dope dealers. We're here

804
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: to do music, and so he saw it our way.

805
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: But that but when we did the show later on

806
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: that that summer, the police still rushed us. They still

807
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: arrested everybody, and but that time they wrote us citations

808
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: for for obscenity laws and shit that they had. And

809
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: it was, you know, it was going through that every night,

810
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, either police reading us some kind of ordinance

811
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: or threatening us or standing around the stash and intimidate us,

812
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: letting us know if we use any profanity, we're going

813
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: to jail. And we just we always just went up

814
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: there and did our show. You know, we didn't care

815
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: what they were saying because we was out there having fun,

816
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: were on the road, We're young, we're West Coast, were

817
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: still performing in big arenas like the East Coast groups.

818
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like the little ship the

819
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: police was doing was not gone keep us from having

820
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of fun.

821
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: So that's when the police came and that that's true

822
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: when they said, well, y'all, what city was that say?

823
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: They say, don't don't perform this particular particular song, and

824
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: y'all was like, fucking yeah, and y'all did y'all thing,

825
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 2: and they rushed y'all and all that ship what was that?

826
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 5: That sounded like that was in South Dakota.

00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: That was that was in Detroit? Detroit, Detroit, Michigan. Yeah, Detroit, Michigan. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Y'all said, fuck, we gonna we gonna go out guns blazes,

831
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:02,760

832
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they had they had just threatened us

833
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: too many times about the song, and this was like

834
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: close to our last show, so we just decided to

835
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: do it because we was just tired of the threats

836
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: and we was mad at the promoter it was a

837
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: different promoter at the time because we had the hottest

838
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: record in the country and they had put us on

839
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: very early, and so it was just a big problem.

840
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: It was a big problem. We just did it and uh,

841
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: they actually threw cherry bombs or some kind of damn,

842
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: some kind of flash bang type type device on stage.

843
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: That's what got us running. And that's why we all

844
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: ran and ship like people thought we were just we didn't.

845
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: We didn't really know they was was police. We just

846
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: thought they was fighting in the crowd. Oh, ship until

847
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: we until we saw the badges start to come up,

848
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: and then they start climbing up on the stage. I'm

849
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,160

00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's crazy.

00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: That's the that's reaction to the hood. Where you hit

00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: that pow pole. You ain't gonna wait around to see

859
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 2: where it came from.

860
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 5: You get the We will meet at the end of

861
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 5: the block and talk about what happened where you heard that? Yeah,

862
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 5: the block talking about that.

863
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we was tearing the ass out of there, you

864
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We was, we was rolling, We

865
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: was rolling. Yeah yeah, yeah.

866
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 2: But what you did man, and once again Luke Man,

867
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: I'm from here, and what he did and what y'all

868
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: did for just you know, not only the industry, you

869
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, but just freedom of speech being

870
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: able to exercise that because whether you agree with what

871
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 2: I got to say or not, it's still fucking freedom

872
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: of speech in this country. You know what I'm saying.

873
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: We allowed to agree to disagree, you know what I mean.

874
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, that wasn't given y'all wasn't given

875
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: that right. Luke wasn't given that right for whatever reason.

876
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he just tried to intimidate us, and

877
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: with Luke, with Luke, they weren't even further because you know,

878
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: Luke should get a lot of credit for fighting for

879
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: freedom of speech in this country because he actually had

880
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: to go to the court. I think it went all

881
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: the way to the Supreme Court, and so you know

882
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: that was a big saying. If he'd have lost that,

883
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: then you know, I think we would have we would

884
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: have lost a former entertainment that you know people did

885
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: you know everybody ain't up tight. Yeah, you know what

886
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, everybody ain't up tight. Some people know how

887
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: to take entertainment for what it is. And you know

888
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: some people just you know, he hear bad words and

889
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: they just you know, have a fit. And ship come apart.

890
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: And then Luke came round and man after that ship

891
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 2: came back with band in the USA on the as band.

892
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the US say, talk that ship Luke. Yeah for

893
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 5: the show.

894
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

895
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 5: Fast forward.

896
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 2: Now obviously you uh, you go through the NWA phase

897
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: and now you go into another phase with the money

898
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: ain't right. The business ain't right. The business ain't right.

899
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: So now you got to take a step out of

900
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 2: get out of your comfort zone. Now you got to

901
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 2: get comfortable being uncomfortable. At this point, you know, you

902
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: were just you know, making music writing. Now you got

903
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 2: to step into a lane of you know, getting out

904
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: of your comfort zone and and having a voice.

905
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

906
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 2: Talk about that because obviously what you do now and

907
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: everything you're doing now, do you think it kind of

908
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: started that stepping up being the first to say that

909
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: this shit ain't right, Like we got to speak up

910
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: on how this shit is supposed to go. You know

911
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Everything you're doing now kind of start

912
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: there with you taking your career and your future and

913
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: all that shit in your own hands. Because oft the time,

914
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: even as athletes, we even though we grown ass men,

915
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: we'll leave our future in the hand of somebody who

916
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: we know probably ain't doing the right thing, but we

917
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: were comfortable. We're scared to get out our comfort zone

918
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 2: and take our future in our life and shit into

919
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: our own hands.

920
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 5: So it starts. Do you think it started there for you.

921
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways. Yeah, you know, the way

922
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: I was raised and how my neighborhood is. I couldn't

923
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: live with myself if I knew somebody was taking advantage

924
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: of me, and I knew it, but I didn't do

925
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: nothing about it. Shared you losing like, yeah, you know,

926
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I could write a rap

927
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: with Bravado if I knew that was happening in reality,

928
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, So you got to take care of that first.

929
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: And I always felt like I was broke when I

930
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: first started. If this is just a blip on my

931
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: radar and I go back to being broke then, so

932
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: bitch cray, but I can't. I can't go forward and

933
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: live with myself knowing this is happening. And I didn't

934
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: do nothing about it. So it was kind of like

935
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: something I had to do just for my inner piece,

936
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: and so I was fine with whatever happened after that,

937
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: and I think that made me relax a little bit

938
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: and not pressed. But even though, you know, you know,

939
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: once I knew I had a budget, like I want

940
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: to talk to Priority Records, Brian Turner told him what

941
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: was happening, he was like, well, we still want you

942
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: want do you want to do your solo shit here?

943
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: And so once I knew I had that, that was

944
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: all I needed. You know, that was just that just

945
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: put the batteries in my back with no time to go.

946
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,799

00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,440

1033
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: homies next to them, It be the the one that's

1034
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: protecting them, you know. So you know that's when you

1035
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: gotta just be careful.

1036
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 2: I got a question because you, similar to myself, you

1037
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 2: still stay out west, you know, boring and raised out there,

1038
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 2: and you said what you just said is sometimes it's

1039
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 2: not the main person, but it's the homie. How did

1040
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 2: you manage keeping some of the homies that you grew

1041
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: up with and then leaving some of the motherfuckers behind

1042
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: because everybody ain't ready to evolve, And sometimes as you evolve,

1043
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 2: and motherfucker's still doing the same shit, get up every day,

1044
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 2: going out on the block, hanging around, doing the same shit,

1045
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 2: and you start to grow apart and I'm going one way,

1046
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: you're going the other way, and you're still in LA

1047
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 2: Like I still deal with that shit now to day.

1048
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 2: How did you handle the situation as you start to grow,

1049
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 2: you start to evolve, and you start to get off

1050
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: certain shit, but your homie is still on the same

1051
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: shit they was on, And now you can't be around

1052
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 2: that shit because you're in a different lane. Now, you

1076
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: money than for them to come fuck up my money.

1178
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,240

1179
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 5: go to the prospect.

1180
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: I feel like I got a lot of questions working

1181
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: with your son because as a father right now, I

1182
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 2: got a son that play basketball, and he looked at

1183
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: me when I say something like I don't know shit,

1184
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at him like, who the fuck else

1185
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 2: you gonna listen to about basketball besides me? How is

1186
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: that working with your son? Because I don't know why.

1187
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: I feel like they don't never want to listen to

1188
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: us about shit. They'll listen to somebody else.

1189
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's I think they hear us all

1190
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: the time every day on everything. Sometimes it's cool to

1191
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: hear from somebody else. But what works is when you

1192
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: tell him the right shit, and then the other guy

1193
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: tell him too. Now now they come back and say,

1194
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: you know what, pops do know about this or about that?

1195
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: So it's a little natural, you know, I think people

1196
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: want to kids want to find. You don't even want

1197
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: to find things on their own, you know, discovered things

1198
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: outside just the household. So it's cool. You know, you're

1199
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: still gonna hear from me. Exact, still gonna here for me. Anyways,
