That's crazy, that's crazy, that little exactly who I be?

God from the Old Testament i'd be Old Testament God, bro Real Testament God.

Was a gangster. I'm just saying he got angry at Old Testament God was means rightful. Yeah, Old Testament God was.

He like, man, you're good? Who we go to pray to God?

Like I just don't, man, let me find you niggas praying to that bull again. It's on.

Play yourself so we can bring it in. It's a lot of interesting characters in the Bible.

Solomon.

Solomon had how many wives?

Seven hundred?

But see he messed up.

See I don't you know why don't mind being Joseph because I don't really too much care how my life goes.

I know God got me, and Joseph really ain't making no mistake. He stayed lorydal to God.

Other people had done made mistakes, like can you Solomon? He was smooth until the women he started bringing in. He started believing in they God.

That's what they get it.

And God told him, no, the women that you bring it to your life, you're supposed to tell them to believe in me.

Don't be out of here believing in what they knowing?

Man, what's wrong with you?

Tighten up?

That's why I remember the last woman.

Who tried to get to him finally got to him. He was like all right and everything fill now, Well he was straight after he got back right, I'm too high.

I'm too high because I just started thinking about some some totally unrelated ship right with him, Like God supposed to be like all forget right?

Right? So if the devil ever apologized to God, would you? I don't know what if?

What if like he beat the devil for like a certain amount of then his heart changed like a murderer, and then he converted.

Back the way that nigga is. He just won't apologize. He always think he is.

He thinks he want to be good, said like he was just hollering.

That's that's how niggas get to see. Ain't getting a nigga is. I'm like, nah, that's who he is now.

People always try to deceive you.

He wanted to be like he's gonna try to act like the nigga who you believe in, and he gonna come around and be like, you.

Know what, you really did this by yourself.

You like you think so, man, I know, so you got all the flavors where you think is coming from and then you like the nigga who started to the tear.

I'm like, no, buddy, you gotta always know that it comes from the higher polegy.

That's real, that's what That's what sparked the question.

Yeah, because it can never not be evil, right, like, even if you don't believe in the construct of like the devil, but evil real than a motherfucker its ever been around somebody with a spirit, yes, and that to not evil to apologize, right, you don't even want that.

Sometimes you don't even know how deep it is. You're just getting feel it without even talking to you.

That's what I'm saying. But this is the thing though, they so messed up on the inside.

They mad at your happiness, so they trying to tell you and convince you that your happiness is wrong.

We see that every day easy, But that's what I'm trying to tell you.

They're trying to deceive you to say that your happiness is wrong because I'm not happy, why are you happy? And and that ain't and they're trying to deceive you and let you know that that's not how it go. You're like, no, just because you ain't figured it out and put your troubles on me. And what this is the thing though, This is why you gotta look at those people that that says who they are and you like, hm, you trying to deceive me. It made me the tear from the high power. And now I gotta tell you about yourself. This is why it's going on in your life. This is why you're gonna be like this, And nigga, you can't blame me or anybody else.

And if you keep doing that, fuck nig you're gonna die like that. And I ain't gonna feel sorry for you, but I know somebody who may have sympathy for you, but I won't.

That's what he told the devil shit you.

Feel me, that's my don't hite snakes. No, I ain't buiting no apple, nigga. Stop that snake head in the ground. Man, you keep making me bite this apple. I was already told instructions and proper instructions, and you're trying to see it and tell me, well, you know that apple looked like the other apples you buying? What's wrong with that apple over there? And that's how niggas is. They're like, yeah, that's right, it do look like the apples over there.

Bich nigga, I just told you that apple ain't charged. Bro, Just keep over here. The curiosity curious will kill the mind. Easy, that's why you always be so curious.

You're thinking that all right, well let me figure this out or let me see what's going on over here instead of just being obedient.

This obedience always have people go.

On the little time as the devil's playground building.

And he loved playing with your mind, bro, like that's how he feeds off his energy. Like he love that shit. He loved manippolate. He loved getting you to do the opposite, because that's really the battle. You think they're gonna be obedient and god like.

You know, try it out and see he likes easy.

Watch he loved that shit. Yeah, you feel me.

That's why you got to be a warrior. Be willing to fight every day that motherfucker's in here trying to deceive you. I'm a warrior. I'm ready to fight.

I' your fuck you come come meet with that bullshit and I'm saying you back to your maker.

Back and be like, bitch, nigga with a note, that's your strongest soldiers, your team sitting this nigga back. Man has it.

I think about that ship though, like when you go back and you and you just think about like just your life experiences and the time where it's like, Okay, this had to.

Be this because this is this.

Sometimes you you look back at the way shit happened on the way ship play out, and even like, I know, these ain't the times where I was thinking I was in control.

You get what I'm saying, because look at us.

We've been able to enjoy some of the like beyond our wildest dream type ship, and we get to do this ship on the regular so much that sometimes we forget that these are the times that we pray for. These are the drink like we literally get the chase side of dream. I don't forget, but you under but you understand what I'm saying.

It's like we were just hoping for the one chance to do it right and we get to do this shit.

Because that's the thing. When you're obedient, it comes abundantly. It's not just one time, it's the opportunity you have.

Think about local.

We have been blessed with one opportunity that open up a door for many other opportunities. We take advantage of each opportunity. We never play. So this is the outcome of squeezing out as much as you can out of each opportunity.

We still squeezing out of one opportunity game. This is still on. We're still on the same opportunity from when we sat out and said it, let's figure this out. It's still from the same one opportunity. But it lasted infinity if you keep going.

That's why I say it all the time.

Man, you can't complain about the things that you would be asking God for if you didn't have them. So like the blessings that we have and the people coming up to your ass pictures and you know what I mean, the things you gotta do, being up for all the hours that y'all was up to day and all that. If you didn't have that, this is what you would be asking God to bless you with, you know what, to bless me.

I've been thinking about that shit from all different angles too. It's like when you say you take them pictures, or you have that conversation, or you meet that fan, or you don't know if that was danger, if they ever just.

Was watching me, Like God, I just want to meet that, That's right.

You get what I'm saying, you don't know who what that meant to them.

On the other second, that's why I judged it all because I just treat people the way I would have wanted the people that I looked at like they looking at me when I was Their age is young people. If I was a kid and I saw Martin walking through my neighborhood, how what I wanted Martin to embrace me if I ran up on them.

That's the type of mentality that I had with dealing with people because you never know, like people see you and you.

We do it every day, so we kind of lost that understanding of what it's like to be on the other side, out of that box when you put yourself still.

I still I remember, I know that this is still a dream, you know what I'm saying, because it's like we still had the moments where you see people who will make you freeze and.

Just like I'm a fan, I don't even.

See it, like like that's you know, come on, AI thing you just just recently right like oh my god.

You gotta like you gotta look you gotta look at it like that, right.

We all came from nothing when it's like nothing, nothing zero, so we never lose sight of.

That one particular step of leap of faith that it all took for us to be like, damn, that's all they took. When we soon we took that leap of faith, everything just came. All this came along with it. So it's more so like.

Once you realize where you come from and you realize where you're going, and this really ain't your us for real, we're just great at what we do. We continue to perfect our crowd. God and gave each and every last one of us individually.

A talent or profession.

But we give thanks and give thanks back by perfecting it because what we do help others. It helps us, but it helps multitunes of people. So by us doing this, we are at service.

You see what I'm saying.

We are at service where it's like, yes, this is also helping me because mentally in the space that we need to be in in order for us to be happy, because we all love to do what we do. That's why he gave us the gift because at the end of the day, we're gonna learn how to do it when we don't want to. We're gonna learn how to do it when we love to do it, and when we do it, we all.

Get in a rim where we don't think about wife.

We're in our space and in our moment, and that's the moment that we're sharing with the high power that it's like, you know what, I love this space and if we continue to perfect this space, we only we love it for ourself.

But when we look at it.

To the crowd, it's like, well, look at all the people that were touching with this one specific gifts.

And they need it like they need it more than we do because they don't know how to express themselves. They do, but we are.

Speaking for the multitudes of people. That's why they resonated with her.

They like he said everything rich want you know what, It's time to tell them, Hey, welcome back to the eighty.

Five SEP Show.

I mean, is this really even a guess? It's really like, hey, man, but we're gonna get do this ship right bro.

This is one of the coldest young actuality in Hollywood right now. Man, he has already solidified himself with an epic role portrayal. Uh, it's gonna definitely top five of all time for me. When it comes to Motherfucker's bringing characters to life on that screen. Man, he taking over the TV cable moves everywhere you look. Man, We're respected in the industry, man, none other than mister Wood and McLean.

Hell yeah, hey man, what do you just saying something? Before we were just chopping up, you said you got in late?

What you mean by then got in late? Because I was back up Dnson. I started back up thence when I was like, what twenty three twenty four? So I got a chance to see how like the artist was treating certain people. So that's not how to move now. Because I got a chance to see how Tank would walk in the room and then it would just be like everybody loved this nigga, you know what I mean, Like he just has such great energy. I was like, damn, I always want to be like Tank. I just want to show everybody respect. Then when I work with Tank on new addition, it was like he still came in with that. He treats everybody. I don't care if it's the janitor, but he treats you with respect, bro.

So people like that.

Seeing it from behind the scenes was really dump. That's why I can do it and not be.

Like, yeah, not consume with which you came from the Vine.

Yeah, classic teddy people.

How monumental Vine was bro like and what it did for our career.

I think it really set us up to learn how to like shoot our own content right, our own content right, you know what I mean, edit our own content. I think it really like sparked the creative side of us. I feel like without Vine, I don't think a lot of us will be right here.

You know, said that no real were we had a we had a space where it was.

For people who had a lot of time on their hands, but it was a lot of creatives a lot of times y'all.

Y'all both found success on that app.

Now that the app is gone away, what what was the what was the secret to finding that moment in that sixth second? What was the what was the key to that algorithm? How you crack that code? You get six seconds to make this shit good? And y'all dropping hit after hit after hit, motherfucker dropping twenty thirty fortys a day.

I don't I.

Remember'm talking about.

I definitely say I would definitely say I grew up.

I grew up in the era where TV wasn't accessible, cable wasn't accessible. So when we got access to Wi Fi and the Internet, we had a certain space where this was our TV for people who would just be I didn't even know people was on their phones like that until I was introduced to it, and then once I realized.

Oh, they ain't seen nothing like this before.

Like I remember when I was like, I'm about to show a roach probably like why that canna hurt your career? I was like, nigga want a career, Nigga, I'm broke exactly, this gonna either help or nigga help, It's.

Not gonna hurt.

I'm fucked up.

Alred now, bro, I remember, I don't remember seeing that when you was like singing to the roaches and ship.

I was grabbing them colder, and it was the point that it was like this.

Nigga here, I just seen my one of my when I first seen this nigga in the iPhone store in the Apple store, and that nigga yelled, I won't me.

The iPhone and stream, but everybody was nervous. It was like, this is why I don't get mad. I gotta tell you.

One of my favorite DC AD fans though, what that nigga said, Yeah, let me get some noodles.

Let me get some of that, some of that.

Before I walked in there, right, I was like, bro, my people, I grew up on Prince a baby, and.

I was like, they not gonna get mad at me for saying this. But when I did it and I was like, get.

They were laughing.

They were like, do you you know what I'm saying this little time? I was like yeah, but they didn't know that I was, you know.

What I'm saying, creating a space for myself. But to piggyback up on what you can't what we was talking about. It was like nobody never seen this before.

And it was either what we was representing everybody's state. You gotta think about it. When I was doing Vine, I was representing Georgia. So I just wasn't doing Vine.

Bro.

It was like Vine.

When soon as you got popping.

Oh Vine, you was the head of your state or that's how niggas know you. But you got that Georgia boy, that nigga from South Carolina, or you following that nigga from phil it oh man, you got to So it was like, all right, I was the spokesperson for Georgia. I was speaking for all the hoods and in Georgia and then it just starts speaking for all the hoods around the world.

You feel me, And once Vine's kind of like fading. Nobody was on Instagram.

Oh look what was the trick? Where you say, what was the trick for you? Finding that little like finding that pocket? You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, that six second, then you know the fifth they went to fifteen that later on niggas really my boy s Flack.

He introduced me to the wine.

Flack of og on that.

Yeah.

Yeah, Like I was telling every day, I'm like, bro, I can't out get it. Damn, I ain't trying to do no vine videos. But then I seen him going viral on Facebook all the aunties. It was like ten million views, likes, go crazy. I was like, bro, I gotta do the vines. And then from there I just started doing vines and people was like, oh, you can really act, And then from there I started taking acting classes.

So what would you This is a question for both of y'all.

What would you say was the one that that was the first one that you saw and was like, what the fuck that one that made?

When you looked at them numbers and saw them numbers crazy. What was that video for y'all? For both of y'all.

I was on tour with Seventh Streeter in this video in the role, and I was like, you can't look and smell this, and I put my leg on the chair and I faked failed.

And hit my head.

That ship went viral. That's crazy.

I was.

I was about to quit the tour.

I was about I'm about to get paid, about to.

Get paid that. It was that one that broke man.

I just kept doing stupid ship just felt like love stupid sh I was really surprised every time I shit. I was just like, y'all, like that ship, Oh I.

Got better all this shit?

Why when I did that ship.

In the in the in the store, I won't get mad at the creators when they do shit right. My shit just ain't never harm nobody physically. It was just outbursting doing like crazy. It was been a surprise, but it was just like I kept being fascinated with the ship because this was the same ship I used to get in trouble for and they was gravitating to it and I used to and it kind of like sheltered me a little bit because it was like I keep getting placed over here with the bad kids just by me having like outbursts and doing like little slit ship.

But my peers love it, and if they cool with it while.

There teaching them keep tripping on me about this ship, so I keep getting in trouble. So it was like, all right, I'm just not gonna be like funny nigga for real. I'm only be funny with my peers. But when Vine kicked out, it opened that that realm more while like, man, fuck my.

Teachers the nigga. This the same ship that I got suspended out of school for.

And all this shit yelling at the store I used to do on school field trips on the bus, be behind this bus driver, boy, where you going?

Is this? I don't know why did fun?

I got fun?

I gave us the space to live.

That's dope, exactly.

What would you say?

What?

What would you say?

Like once you started taking acting classes, Like what would you say that that click for you?

You know what I mean?

Like when you said what was that moment for you? You was like, oh wait a minute, man, will you impressed yourself?

When I got a new edition?

For real?

That was the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the first one.

Yeah, yeah, but y'all did them know not a good job.

Appreciate that it's running a hand down like one of the about pure like a long time.

That was crazy is when you act.

I've had the opportunity to actually meet the guys, you know what I'm saying, like be around them and to see how well y'all portrayed the dynamic and all that, Like the job had.

How long did y'all had to hang with them niggas to pick that up?

Man?

We really hanged with the crew.

We was like with each other for like I want to say, a month, Like just spend the night at Elijah Cribb. We'll spend the night at Keith Cribb. It was like a real sleep boa just getting to know each other. That's why it was so easy when it came to filming, you know what I mean. But the guys, like the real guys was on set. I don't think we knew how big they was back then. I didn't know nothing about Bobby Brown like that.

I was dancing at the time.

Natima Robinson called me in to be the dance doubble for the Bobby Brown for the Whitney Houston movie. Angela Bassett directed at on Lifetime, so I was his like dance double for that, and then from there for Team, it was like.

You should get into acting, like you know what I mean? Who was you? She was like, you should want to get into it.

So then from there.

Got to and then from there that's when they called the team and was like, Yo, we're doing the new aditional story. You should choreograph. And she hit me and was like, Yo, I think I found Bobby Brown, what do you should do it? We never really want to do Bobby first, because don't people to just keep calling me Bobby.

I was like, I want to act, but I don't want it to be somebody.

You know what I'm.

Did?

Great, you didn't get type cash and just a nigga who played a biopic?

Right that matters in this world?

That's all they see.

It might have worked in your favor though, because you don't really have no you ain't have nothing to like molded you kind of building.

Nobody know who I was. You know what I'm saying.

Because she talking about it all the time. This nigga was famous, famous when you didn't have access to mother.

Ain't nobody has done it? Great for real, like to portray him for real. So also like and who Bobby Brown was like, nigga, whoever gonna play on me? To be good?

Like you appreciate that?

Yeah?

You Now when they first when they first made announcement, they was like who is because they had a picture of me with a bow tie playing Bobby. It was like, oh Bobby Brown and Woody I had like a bowl the tie with a corny smile. It was like this, nigga, don't look like Bobby Broynt looked like b O b That's all everybody was saying, Wow.

I can't see that.

It was like it was like it's a thing from Good Burger, Like that's.

All I kept.

I was like yeah, I was like damn.

But then when I did it, they was like, now everybody like, you look exactly like Bobby Brown.

I'm like, bro back then y'all said it look like keenan Kel. Mitchell was going, I'm trying to figure out, like, how.

How did you was that?

You?

You almost had a panic content? Oh yeah, come on, come on, break break, break that down.

So so our producer he let us see the first episode.

So we've seen the kids and we all know how like great the kids was, and young Bobby Tyler shot to Tyler Tyler played Bobby like as the kid, and he did so good, bro. And when I seen I hit my because I'm like, yo, the kid is so good. I feel like I'm I'm not as good as him. I think people don't think I'm trash. He was like, you gotta relax. I just kept I couldn't breathe. I end up passing out. And then once the thing actually came out and nig I passed out in my oom my hotel.

He was.

Nigga.

I woke up next morning.

Nigga was Bobby Brown.

Real, Yeah, I had nigga say he woke up the next the next morning. You stressing yourself, nigga, try and do you know what we do?

Gotta be like perfect, you know what I mean? This being the first one didn't. When the comments started coming and people was like, yo, oh this Woodie kid is yo he Bobby Brown?

Then for me, I was like, yeah, I'm that nigga.

Yeah yeah, they like you know, yeah, I stop out, stop passing.

I don't do that no more.

I don't even recommis no more.

Yeah you shouldn't, you know, what I mean, she's not real, but you know, I mean the acting and being able to transition like what you do on pow right. I mean, and then the role that you took in that regard be coming just straight, you know, gangster with it. Like, do you have certain elements that you can go back to to tap into the moji for any character or do you just go off and when they give it to you. Now, I'm gonna go find somebody or something to kind of help me become what it is I need to become.

I think I.

That's it. Man, that's a good question.

Bro.

I don't know what I'll be doing.

Bro.

I feel like when you walk in your purpose, you just just doing that walking in your purpose. So I don't really.

Overthink that part. Okay, you know, whatever character is, I read it, you know what I mean, I'll study it. But then from there, once I get on set, I'm just go for what you know. Yeah, I ain't overthinking it. I'm just being invested at that point, you know what I mean. Let me sor bring whatever it is.

And you got a clip that's going crazy right now? What's the show you play?

But then you see some ship on TV or one of these platforms, and then you remember the lines and.

This nigga said it.

Has it been a role that you that you like audition for it.

Did you see it?

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

They don't bother me though, but it worked out though. When I'm watching it, I'm like, yeah, I see, I see why they picked Yeah, yeah, because I would have did it differently.

I do that.

Have you ever got a role that that you read and and didn't quite get and then it ended up, you know, saying no to it and then it came out and being something that was successful.

They ain't been to that. You ain't got that yet because you.

Like, yeah, I was almost spider Man nolack Man was a cartoon.

A lot of actors say that, like you hear when you hear what what roles was meant for certain people, like when like for example, Will Smith was supposed to be Neo and The Matrix. You know what I'm saying of situations, Yeah, okay, it's going yeah, because.

You supposed to be Neo in the Matrix Neo. Eddie Murphy was supposed to be Mike Lowry.

I heard, Oh yeah, so I heard, you know what I'm saying, Like just getting to the point of, you know, where you have to turn down roles, Like do you have anything that you like, I'm not doing that.

Don't even send me that, or you just open to whatever, and.

I'm open, Bro, I leave it open.

Yeah, what's for me is gonna be dope anything I've ever been a part of it, and dope like you know.

And that ain't no like ego like you, I mean, nigga, you wanted them niggas.

No.

I remember for what Hairs we was on set and then we went up there with Harris. We was like, yo, what you think about the new distion joint?

He sat there, he was like, all I make is classics and walked away and we started screaming.

I was like, that's hard because what Hairs.

Do, all he do is classic him and Leon easy class plans to Leon and been in.

Everything, Bro. Leon was a temptation and a foul easy easy class bro.

And he was the new nigga.

Nigga it came.

It took over the whole group.

Man, certain black actress.

Yeah, Man, so go ahead, what's the role that you want to play? Because when you said Spider Man game that I can see that they gave the nigga a fucking cartoon man man.

One white boys to play Spider Man. And when it's the nigga turn you go digital. Yeah, you could have went digital on the second nigga Spider Man, I see that enow what the you getting shot?

Going crazy?

Yeah?

No I do, I do Greenland. I'll do Greenland or I want to say Jase Fox. Uh So, you know Morgan Freeman and Batman, like he was playing like Alfred was he playing?

Yeah? But no, what.

Was like like, no, no, no, So like while Butler Batman down in the street, his son was coming in taking Batman stuff and doing his own thing with it.

I think his name Batman a real superhero. He's just a rich nigga with gadget on bullshit. I mean his house underground.

You can.

When you can ship, you're a real super around walking around and.

Might might be you built all that shit. He might be.

Batman was the first niggas hipline. They said.

He look us on like like I don't know how many satellites it.

On, like seventy.

Satellites in the sky. You know what you can be as far as a superhero with that type of act.

He owns the.

Satellite, the satellites in the sky, brom So that's some Batman type ship like that's the type of money in that that's the money that that you don't even count that type of money.

I don't even money.

I'm in my sol meme where they had like Jeff Bezos's wealth and rice, like actual rice with each grain of rice was one hundred thousand dollars. Bro, Jeff Bezos rice stack was like this hot, bigger right stack was just how that mother can pull it off seventeen pieces of rice. It was like, yeah, this is a laborghaated. This is how much you're still had left. It was ridiculous, Bro, when you put it in that type of you.

Do, when you accumulate all that type of plan, we'll never know.

It's niggas.

I want to say something I said I had funny as head.

I'm telling you I already wrote the number down and put it in the safe. If I ever get to this number, you will never see me again, shna. It don't matter, It don't matter where the fuck I go. The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a beer between my mother leg.

Yeah, nigga, I'm going so far in.

The ground, you gonnaself, it's been me the whole time.

Yeah, same color somewhere Turkey me.

Yeah, yeah, oh no, no, bro, I think I won't want to player villain.

I just want to play like a charismatic like you know, yeah, like just a rebellion ass niggas.

You know, man, when you play the villain, though, you can just do what.

You got free range.

You already a piece of ships to live out being a piece of ship, but you got.

To do it like in the creative way, like the Junker. This motherfucker, this character be brilliant than a motherfucker.

Man.

The Junker was so damnabolical in the dark night.

I don't want to tap into that. That's evil because you got to really as an actor, you got the life, you know what I'm saying. It's more so like the Enemies was always a good guy. He's just getting back at people he felt like they did wrong. You feel me, So it's like fuck you niggas. Yeah, i'ma I'm gonna start to fight. I ain't no bad nigga, but I've been holding this ship in for a minute. I want to whoop somebody.

He's that ship.

Yeah.

I just I look at some of those roles and I'd be like, man, that's crazy. How you what mind state you had to get in even become like Jack Nicholson and the Shining like to be able to become that and then they say cut and you got to go back to being who you are, Like, that's crazy.

Jim came played the crazy White Man the whole time he was in his trailer, right, he was just laying.

They were like Jim. He was like, Jim's not in here.

Yeah, they were like, you're an hour late.

Jim.

He was like, I'm not coming. They had to pick this nigga up and just said because he was getting character. Bro, he was an hour late on set. He's there and would not walk. They had to carry him on set. They can do that.

We can't do that.

Yeah, You've.

Right, Like how do you manage that?

What it like?

The different personalities on the set, Like, you know what I mean, That's what a lot of people don't understand when you work on these sets. There's so many different personality How do you you know, I mean, navigate that, you know what I'm saying, being yourself while also being somebody else as far as your character is still keeping you, you know what I mean, having fun for real, Like when we was kids playing make believe. So it's like that for me, you know what I mean.

You start doing it around the house as a kid, having fun to Mama smack you, then you be back.

So it's like the same for me, you know what I mean, make smack you on set to normal.

I'm already here.

Here, it's not there. I'm like, you do that?

S it now?

No, I really, I really like to create a backstory for the character.

Like with Caine right now, it was like I knew I was gonna have to hate Treik for all these How am I gonna hate this nigga for four years? So I had to like sit down and figure out, like what's gonna work for King? So I was able to go back and create the story of like when King was a kid, like he was getting molested, right, because that happens in the black community, but we don't really talk about it. We kind of shit just happened and we don't really talk about it. But the only person that was there to save when was his mama. That's why he sent a mama's boy, you know what I'm saying. And he don't remember what the dude looked like, but he remember what he smelled like.

You know what I mean.

He smelled exactly like Trek. So that's why I hate him so much. That was like, that's what I had to have in my head every time I go to set.

What's so crazy when when he came and did wilding out was he was nervous and ship So I was like, man, you know everybody like they don't like you. I'm just gonna We're just gonna have a beef on the show. Now you know how niggas really thought I didn't like Hia like.

It's to this day.

He were like, bro, man, you know what daddy a gangster man playing? We was playing, yeah, but making it look like.

Head like you you being around all of these legendary guys, what would you say that you got the best advice from some of the best advice from in regards you said, Tank, I mean on the music side, you Angela Bas.

Said, I think Kevin Hart.

I remember I was doing something on his life out allowed Network called Stories with Care because I used to take his stand up and kind of recreate it and like.

Play out the scenes in like black and White, and I remember him pulling up on me. He was like the only person I can like destroy your career?

Is you?

It's like that just always stuck in my head.

So every time I'm doing like different business meetings, I'm always thinking like, all right, cool, I don't want to ruin this. I don't want to be the reason why this doesn't work. So I'm always having that in my head, you know what I mean?

Who you want to work with like that you think could challenge you in the way because one thing about hold on, get yourself together?

What wrong with y'all? When acting is such a.

Fun, uh a profession, especially when you get around people that can challenge you to make you better. See a lot of people think that it's not arrogance when mother will be like, oh, I'm a great actor. No, you have to have that confidence knowing that you're a great actor. But put me around some better actors that can even be even be greater, and I can challenge them as well.

To them for them to continue to keep a who do you want to see yourself in the scene with that you feel like can challenge you, and you can challenge them because as an actor, we always want to be in that scene.

Like, I know you're gonna bring this viola Davis Eddie Murphy.

Don cheaterh.

Favor one of them ones.

He sat like a lot of people don't give him people and he don't like he let that ship show it his work.

Man.

You know it's certain characters, man, certain people do.

Like my favorite movie character ever just was played by Samuel or Jackson Ordell Roby and Jackie Jackie Brown, like that nigga and Jackie Brown, Like if there was I can audition to be that nigga today and know the whole movie every line he had.

But just because it was like watching a real nigga.

Like that's the thing about when somebody is a great actor, it's like you become that person to where when you see him. If that nigga walk in here with that wig on, I'd be like, oh, they'll fuck Samuel.

You said, all right, oh what ship we owned something?

Now what's your favorite.

Actor or actress in the scene where you're like, oh that ship five?

If you can redo one, if you can redo any scene, classic scene that you will.

Kill Denzel training day.

But if I got the ultimate like this.

You love, I know you got to you got I know this nigga got you.

What you got.

I'll tell you every low oh g. Bobby Johnson had every.

Last Yeah you got your son still.

They come, what Jimmy is only ten years old?

Yeah?

He They don't ask no question.

Y'all go wrong for this, but I'm not wrong. I just see the watch and I studied this ship was good. I even said it because he made me say it. I was like, damn, this ship good. You were good, Julie. Don't get a lot of credits.

Right here right hard radio.

I felt serving that nigga they locked that.

They lock that nigga up.

I'm like, hey, put a nigga, Like, how you doing a nigga?

Like, He's like, when get that radio?

They put that nigga back and the car bro, they did it.

He said, Jeremy, Wow, for real. But like, man, that's that scene. Just Jackie Brown, say Jackie Brown, bro. But if you have it, you gotta watch it.

Man.

Like here's the scene with him and Robert de Niro, who is another one of the greatest actors they ever lived, and he they going through a video of guns and this nigga explaining the guns to him and they get to the a K forty seven that nigga said there it is eight K forty seven. The very best day is when you absolutely positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room.

Accept no sub I'm like, this nigga is incredible, man, you know.

And then the way that ship come on, like it just makes it seem like these were some real people. I remember watching that ship as a young nigga like, oh my god, Like it's just certain movies, Like my favorite movie ever.

Is The Last Dragon.

But just watching that time and in cinema, if you will, that's my favorite movie ever.

Like I used to watch that. That was my babysitter.

My mama could put that shit on and leave for I sit and just keep rewinding and keep rewinding.

What's what's the difference between the movies back then the movies now?

Well, to me, back then, I think the messaging was a little bit deeper for us as black people because we ain't get to make as many movies back then. Like The Last Dragon really, to me, it got the message for all black men in it, like they used karate as.

The synopsis for it. But the reality is, nigga, you got the glow.

It's in you.

It's already in you. Can't nobody take it from you. You already got it. You just got to look with them and get it. And that's why at the end of the movie, when that nigga was dunking his head down in the water, he's remembering all this shit that when and nobody else was there for him. And then when he came back up, who's the master I am? Because I got the glow. Nigga's already in you. We already got everything and we need God give.

It to you already. You just got to tap into it and find it. You know what I'm saying. And that's just what it is like.

And I think that message, man, that message with deep as even as a kid. Bro, you can't get nowhere being a hater, Yeah, sure enough. Really ain't here nothing but hate. Like he was just hating on that nigga for no reason.

Bro.

That nigga was hating because they was balling. That nigga was hating because he had real curly hair and his daddy had a balling ass piece of shock. His little brother had juice in the city, could do everything. This nigga just riding around looking for this nigga.

A man.

Like thinking, like like when I hear some ship, it's just like it's a stick in a plat of multiple situations. I remember when they when like Max B first got Man, and you know what I'm saying, when he first fell out that nigga came on World, Starn was like, see, that's all they try to do is making nigga don't look good. That's all they want you to be in the back. They don't want a nigga to look when you're a wavy nigga. Niggas ain't gonna like that shit. And I was like, that shit means so much because you can apply that thing.

Ain't his situation.

Like that's just one of them life lessons that you know, just being exposed to different like outlets and shit like that just how you pick up on certain shit. But that that last Dragon, I remember watching that ship as a kid and it was just like the first time I seen that shit. That's what really stuck out like that nigga. Just hate that nigga for cause that nigga ain't fuck with nobody. All he did was practice his karate. Hen't want them puss. He treated that lady with you get know what I'm saying, Like he wouldn't even he like he knew he wasn't even where he was supposed to be as the Last Dragon. He wasn't even out there like flexing on nigga.

He let so much shit slab bro.

The nigga was in the Motherfucker movie there the nigga throw punchers at his face here.

Yeah yeah, yeah, that nigga. Daddy thought he was with.

J Yeah yeah Junior.

But like like those those movies, I gotta tell you this, when you said Samuel L.

Jackson or the Roby, I think his most underrated role ever is when he played King Daddy Ta and Minute to Society. Yeah, remember that they didn't even really show this nigga face shown that.

Mother scene man, because if you go back and look at it, the nigga owed him some money, like he didn't really old him. It was like if you that motherfucker, I told you I paid your monk ass, And I feel like he said, what suck my Yeah.

You want me some money?

Motherfucker looking at it that, you.

Know what I mean? Just yeah, you know what I mean?

Like those type of classic roles for us, and it's crazy that as black people, we all had those scenes burned in our mind, like you know what I'm saying when you think about just the classic movies that you know what I mean, you could watch now and still have the same type of reaction that you had watching it when you originally watched it, you know what I'm saying? Like, and shit, you do you play Bobby Brown? Like one of my favorite roles that Bobby Brown is an incredible actor. Bro like him and uh thin line between love and hate? Like, Bro, that's one of my fit that Nigga was so cool and literally love and hate that, man, you know what i mean. Like, So you being an actor now and kind of being a new generation, like do you have to desire to have that staple? I mean you already do, but like the one that people gonna look back on and say, man, couldn't nobody have done that?

But you like that role that, you know what I mean?

That you like?

Man?

Do you look at it as a situation where you know you you kind of can have that and then be stuck in it like you said, but then you also can do it and then it just be one of those like your you're Malcolm X for Denzel or you know what I'm saying, your pulp fiction for Samuel L. Jackson or whichever that type of role is, Like, do you desire to have that type of staple role or do you just want to just do as much as you can and just build the legacy of just quantity.

You know what I'm saying. I just want to keep going down my path.

Yeah.

I can't put that much pressure on me, you know what I mean.

I can't be like that.

I need to get to training today. I can't do that. It's gonna be too much pressure. So I just kind of let you.

I just kind of let things happen. Yeah, that's you know what I mean. But I don't force nothing. I don't force no situation.

Bro.

When it happened for me, it got.

To speak of the line like you got old monologue easy because we remember.

The times when we ain't have it, bro, remember the times when we have.

Peop don't unders saying those acting rolls don't come like back to back and back.

What you go on on spree.

You got to take that spree and show them folk how value you in.

So now.

You gotta you gotta go with the spree.

But then that creates a space where they trust your your creativity.

Now when you come to them with some ship.

They are they more so know what you are already capable of doing, so they're not gonna second guess, like, all right, well.

Let's try it out.

When you don't have enough punches in the game and experience if you come with them with some ship.

It's hard selling some ship. You gotta go get get out there and get some some raps.

You gotta How was it for you when you got to call for Bobby Brown?

You know what?

I was excited because I was like, you know what, I'm amongst my peers and we're doing this together.

You feel me? Like the movie was so great that nigga we had to watch it for three.

Days been at the gummy because.

He's ain't want to look at some whole. We all looking at the whole.

You don't even know getting that ship could like that with Bobby Brown, you know what I'm saying, Like you did the new addition thing and then boom, you know what I mean. Like, so just being that great to be able to say, mother, now we want to see some more of this nigga right here, like slip got it?

You know what I mean? You got it?

So like I watched you know, the young niggas, the you know, the you that you know everybody. And I think to myself, like, man, I hope that we give the youngins the same grace that we gave.

The O G's and let them be free to create be who they are.

You know what I mean.

We didn't have to them, nigga. We didn't get to see the early ship.

Yeah, they by the time we were you know what I mean, coming up, they was already good at the ship.

Well we saw ice Cube and boys in the hood.

Nigga, We didn't know that nigga was that motherfucking good.

We were like, when the fuck did this nigga learn how to do this ship?

Because you got to keep it ying, Like we ain't thought about none of this post production, like nothing, This ship was nothing last year.

Some ship over, you know what I mean. Over two years we're just thinking, like, damn, this ship new. They must have just did this ship.

Three classic albums.

In the room.

We ain't never seen this ship.

Then he did the in the con of movie.

He was gonna but they see that he went on that level of us not being able to see it gave him the ability to be able to figure it out without us being able to see it.

But now everything and doing.

But now it's more harder because back then we didn't have that much access. So like when you've seen like Ice cul was a hell of an actor, but nigga, you ain't see him in no ship like that.

All other us in that line like like that, So it was like they only one now you know, I mean, what is in DC You don't.

Fly and they got to do it their phone and show don't get us. It's like crazy, but giving giving a grace. That's why I say, I hope that we give the great ones the grace to know that. Man, you gotta kind of take that old mentality and let a nigga really develop into the greatness because now it's so easy to access the celebrity if.

You will, you know what I'm saying to be you know what I mean.

And the motherfucker could just pick their phone up and say whatever they say want to say.

But that makes it different and you could tell in like when you speaking like the Dune. You you just gotta be a student of the crab, right, we can't worry about how.

Much access niggas got.

We have to show them why the access don't batter, you just overly consumed. Nobody could have done a Bobby Brown like that.

That's why I did. Everybody played their role, nigga. That's why it showed how great they was.

If let them niggas would have just put the niggas right before y'all who almost had the part nigga a ship when it did that game, it would just been another BIOPI cool. They had to put the niggas in there who really want to do it, and it showed when God got the light on you and you take it seriously and you want to show people that's.

Great, that's gonna come out game because that one of.

Them one man that like holidays and ship coming up, everybody about to be around the family.

Man, that's one of the ones.

You put on the game.

And it's so many that you're not gonna put on that you make you appreciate the ones that you do. Because Man, I fucked around the other day and was on YouTube watching that Michael Jackson.

Man, my man flex did Hey that ship was fun.

Michael Jackson and that's Jason whoever did that.

Nigga was so believable, Bro.

He was believed the partment fucked up for.

I remember one.

Time I didn't even know what moved it were right, I'm just going flicking to get a bag for that. You remember the whey he was walking in the park with I'm like, what the fuck is this?

Like, no, you're not.

He's an incredible actor. Like some rolls that just you just they don't fall in thew.

You know that hurt flakes, that hurt that we canna understand what he was doing.

Like I grew up off of one on.

The ultimate cool father figure.

You want him everything and he did.

Michael Jackson, Bro, they didn't care about none of that ship he did before.

Then think about it.

Yeah, that can happen. That's the risk you run of being an actor.

But this is the thing as an actor, like chance not saying that he couldn't have done it, you feel me.

But when you get into a position where you're like, all right, we have to start making decisions where they're gonna enhance us or we're doing a favor for our friends. But still it's like, all rightnigga, what his favor going? Like you, this shit need to be a stepping stone for you, nigga. Everybody need to be going.

Up and helping each other. We can't put ourselves in a position where it's like I know, I know turn our role. I'm like, ah, that ship ain't helping me, Like nah, ain't helping me.

And it's like, we can't put ourselves in a position where it probably heard our career versus us saying.

We want to be challenged, but this might not be the right challenge. You see what I'm saying, Like it's.

A challenge, but give it to a nigga who might deserve this challenge, Like, no, you play chas.

I appreciate you thinking about a nigga, but I ain't playing like that, see you, Okay, I ain't.

If it was one of these situations where.

You ain't getting just sad, you might be saying.

You don't get that, and you gotta think about he he's on, he's fire on this time where he's like, now you got the first look there, you know about the first look, then you the first look at Michael Jason.

You gotta play it. People are like no, they like.

If that's the case, I know he was looking at the makeup people when they finished, like, man, man.

Fuck.

You know that first paragram you got you got the first time when that niggas not talking, he was like, I just don't believe.

I was like, oh this.

He was locked in.

Though he did take make up.

I think he didn't take serious.

Yeah, I know, but when you what.

If Mike fuck with it though, that's what we gotta find out. Nobody did it better than Flex. That's really all that matter.

No Get no, Get might have been a niggave, but like, no, you need.

I want now, I want him now flex question now, gim me flex.

Fah monkey, I don't want.

That brother, that lot of man. Like, how did how did Bobby feel about your portrayal to him? Did you you ever had that conversation with him?

Now?

He said he loved it.

That's dope from the from the junk. You know, some people be like, let me see and so and so.

The moment you start doing it, he you know what I'm saying, you getting the game from He embraced it as.

Soon as he seen me was in dance rehearsal.

So he seen me.

Do uh I think it was either my program? Every little step he was like, yep, that's me. He was like, all you need is a gap. So I had to go get like the fake teeth or whatever.

He was good. That's what it is.

You're working with fifty man. Like we always down in sreport for the you know what I mean, the humor, the humor, and they was looking was working. He was working, and that's the only reason he wasn't that. But just you know, speak to him as a as a you know what I mean, a leader in regards to the film space, because he's also doing something different than what we knew him for.

You know what I mean. We know him for being one of the biggest.

Rappers ever, but now he's shifted into a whole new space. So just speak to like who he is in that space because we all know him as the wrap up. You know, not many people get to see what he looked like on that other side.

Y'all got a whole universe bro, and he a Jeans, he a Geens bro, and he really about his business.

So I appreciate everything he's doing. He's really making superstars, you know what I mean. A lot of people overlook us because I ain't worked for a year after Bubby Brown.

I'm just sitting around chilling, you know what I mean. But I got that call from fifteen and them just go.

Do power.

So so so so take people through the process because I said statement earlier. People don't understand the acting game, like it's really a it's a lottery ticket, like you really got to go fish for like.

You got you just did think about it.

You just did about the rod, right, you just made all the fucking noise.

Nigga, all this fucking noise. The ages swear they be you have so many opportunities come across the day. Y'ards just made so much fucking noise and you ain't get a gig.

In a year nothing, Because I think the other side don't understand how big it was for the culture. You know, I've known me and my manager went to the Essence Festival at the time and everybody was taking pictures and then we got in the car.

She was like, those are your cousins.

I'm like what, but she white, yeah, oh man, she.

Called it and she was like, oh my god, this is crazy, like what he got so many. I was like, you don't know how big nudition we did twenty nine million views. For them not to understand like how big this was. It was crazy, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, like I said, man, being around the guys and seeing them, and you know, I went to see him in Vegas.

What's crazy?

As I met him in New Orleans. Man, it's and it's it always blows my mind. I'm ask you this question too, like, has anybody ever recognized you before I even tell a story?

If anybody ever recognized you? And you was like, nigga, you know me?

Mm hmm.

I think when I was a dancer for real, Yeah, yeah, that was the first time because rocking with CB for five years, they knew all the dances. So when people just put, oh my god, you word Chris Brown dancing, that was like the first time of understanding what that was.

Dancing, not just dancing.

He said, Chris Brown, you dan you gotta be a mutant a little bit.

Niggas you got.

Chris Brown.

Chris Chris different, Chris is different, Bro, Chris really Like, I didn't know, That's what I'm saying.

That's why I'd be like, I just followed the path. I had no idea it was gonna bring me. Chris. You know what I mean.

I didn't grow up danceing. I learn how to dance in college because all.

The women, all the women love niggas on stage. I was like, we in school with them every day, y'all like this, I'm not so. I spent the whole summer learning how to dance, and that.

Just brought me to la.

So bring it back, bring your back, nigga.

You learning how to dance.

Yeah, so you take us through that process.

If you learn how to dance and then you get with Chris and then now he's molding you guys into choreographers.

Chris was molding me really to play Bobby. I don't even think we knew that, you see what I'm saying. So when I seen the clip of Bobby dancing, I was like, oh, that's Chris. I've seen this before.

I knew how to do that.

So that's why that role was a lot easier for me.

That's some.

Dance, because this ship means cute teachers to dance.

Get addicted to learning ship, like you know what I mean, Like the art side, I hated school.

What was your first move?

I know it was ugly, go to like I know they go nah, we did like a little wing like because the dance crew, Strikers, the Strikers, Striker family.

If you know about the Strikers were the fam Yeah yeah, yeah. So I originally went to fam you for the marching band like Susophone.

Okay, you know.

Ship that's around.

That's the big big year.

Okay, so I've seen drum line. That's what made me want to go to college, you know what I mean. So every time I see Nick, I was like, yo, you really changed my life.

Like that's some real ship. So I always want to do movies.

That's going to like.

College.

Uh.

I got into being in a high school Okay, cool, you know what I mean. And then that's when I learned how to play the tuba.

Then I got a full full scholarship to go to fam You and then from there I'm doing that.

Then I learned how to dance, and then from there I just kept moving on.

That's anything I want to learn.

But I'm learning. I'm producing that. I'm producing music now, so I'm always in the studio.

That's what I mean. Yeah, that's it was like.

But back to what I was gonna say about the New Audition. I'm in New Orleans. I'm walking through the hotel. I'm like, man, oh ship, nigga, they go Ronnie from New Audition. So I Gady go to say what's up to him? He was like, oh ship, she go ban, what's up, nigga. I'm like, nigga, you know me. He was like, come to the show tonight. And I'm just saying, you know, I'm like, all right, man, but the nigga made show. I give my numbers so you can come.

Man.

I came to the show and that was my first time seeing what fame looked like. Like I never like I'm talking about still I'm talking about women whom your mama, your auntie and all.

That, but think about these are the people that some of the people that still didn't even get a chance to see the when they were they still living the.

Exactly exactly what I'm talking about.

And I just I just went recently when they had they got a residency in Vegas and I went to see him and chop it up with him, and I just sat back and they had a meet and greet, and I just sat, you know, in the back and just watched because we do these now were in that space like this is what we do. But to see forty years, forty years of success and were still and they still do it.

And it was just like six.

Seeing like the patience level for the way that they interacted with people. Forty years I'm like, man, I went to the showzy, I went to the show they was in.

They was State Farm, Right, It's probably had to be like forty thousand people in this bit.

Right.

They were like, make some noise if you if you if you're born in the nineties, like whoo. They were like, Mason noise. You born in the eighties. They'd be like oh. They were like, Mason noid. You're born in the seventies. They were like wow.

They were like, made some noise if you was born in the mother buck is sixty shit said.

I was like, what every bit of fifty eighty plus.

In this motherfucker about fifteen years plus they got forty thousand people out and they still know how to have a good time.

I'm just admiring, like, bro showmanship.

Bro, It's crazy the times that we used to living and how we not Like the youngest generation don't appreciate shit.

It's too easy.

None of they it's too easy. I'm watch people having the time of their life. Even I'm talking about women.

I'm like, don't want to get that.

Niggas will tonight.

You want to get in there that don't work.

I'm talking about that's the will Bobby and Ronnie and Ricky and just watching them in Vegas.

Man, I'm sitting at the show and watching and knowing of these dudes. These dudes are just running through hits. I mean just hit after hit after then they go to the individual to the individual hits and then man, that Nigga came out and saying, uh sensitivity, bro, Man that Nigga had the whole I'm talking about the ladies got up out they seat and was damned near I'm talking about trying to pull the stage Dawn girl.

It's saying, I'm like, man, that's crazy.

You can only hope to have that type of longevity, but to see how that is handle like, it's crazy. And when you think about the fact that them niggas got a movie that y'all did, Like, that's.

The boy group ever.

They was first Nigga, well then first of the generation, the new Kids on the Block, all them niggas.

The audition that was the friendship, new audition was the New Kids on the Block was friends.

Ain't gonna lie to Snigga.

One of the boy real real you had a T shirt.

Want cry Yeah, just be Its just it's just fun.

And that's not the thing what you think about the accomplishments, Bro. You you host the tr Rail on my nigga. I remember watching t r Rail when the Backstreet Boys and and Sync and eminem you used to come. They used to have to close the curtains on the windows so that people outside wouldn't go crazy and pass out and ship like that was you know what I mean that just that historical type of element of what we've been able to do, all of us have been able to do, is just unreal when you really sit back and think about it.

Bro, Like it was great.

You feel like you haven't done yet that you want to do.

Man, make that well for me, for us, I say, make that classic that movie, that classic comedy because I know it's coming.

Yeah, we got it, it's on the way. Like that's the thing that you know.

And that and making some music like us actually getting in the studio and putting something out because people been asking us for that for a decade, you know what I mean.

Like Fly, you know Fly always has.

Been because that's that's what that's his first love is passion. You know, we just know how to do it because we fuck with me. We musically inclined.

We just love the music.

But we done made so much music just as far as for you know, wilding out what we do on stage just naturally just getting in the studio and and actually.

Putting something to get whatever it is, like just that body of work. I think that that's hard. You know what I mean.

Cartoon fan, I want to say, cartoon Jakie, if you make the right car, you can make anybody sit down.

Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. No age range with the cartoon bro.

It gotta be but it got it. Like you gotta think about it. We were the kids that grew up Off.

And Harker and all that ship.

There was some wholestole mass cartoon.

Cartoons.

Let a stranger.

Had a little white pottlem he was cool. Let him do everything you want to do, but he would like skin. I think.

But that means we got it if we do it like they gotta have that element of the ship that's missing that theme song man that was so important on the cartoon Man.

That theme song you got. That's because the music just love it.

There just hard back then you got to listen to the list.

Open up your heart, open up your mind.

They make things bad working together.

Remind you need.

Two places to start.

And I see what kind when you heard walk.

That classic but you.

Know what to do? It gets you ready to watch the show.

You never forget it.

You show ship like they ain't talking about nothing that don't mind the show with it and it gets what they do.

They be back on with the credit.

You got listen to the.

You never forget that. That stay with you for the rest of your life. That's why what I took my daughter, my daughter and them on the sixteenth birthday trip. I got the sing of one of the cartoons I used to watch with all that when they was little, and to see them go right back in the singing and thing.

It was called Super Wide.

It was about this little came on PBS Kids and uh he was a book reader.

He was a super book reader.

And then I started singing that song and they all just immediately went back to be a little girls.

You know what I mean?

That ship was crazy because you you you hear the right theme song and it's gonna take you back to your childhood.

What's that one for?

You lose where you hear it just make you go right back there and come on, man, stop playing my man.

Grew up in the greatest era of growing up in human history. Nigga, every bro.

These theme songs are fucking burned into my mind, like like mother fucking ThunderCats and Gee Joey.

Motherfucking Fred Flintstone, Nigga.

Flintstone, Flintstone. That ship used to go so hard for even be outside and hear that ship and be like, yeah, Jesus, I hate come on man to resonate with We grew up with them.

The greatest damn song.

In cartoons by talking about I hate Scooby Roboy.

Ma yeh, Scooby got a Roboy eight to day. But I can't resident it's the hardest.

Because we don't know if that was like.

Class it flows. Oh, let me take you to the gas station. I got you there.

What it is just slatting, just slatting.

We got we come on bro.

Oh that's beautiful, man, Man, that's crazy.

Come on.

About I get it that prayer and I think it was like, man, I'm telling so much of this ship on TV, and I got to put something in the stret.

Put you know, looked at my blood is running out of gas.

In that I got you want to get into that?

Come on, bro, I got supply to people on and off the screen, you know what I'm saying.

But that's still like something that if you you don't think that you get.

If you don't think that you get you know what I mean, uh like, really make it work that you don't take that risk, you know what I'm saying. Like people in my life, you know, shocking to my boy Nelly gas Station. He the one that came with me with the idea that the power pack. Okay, I was like, bro, let's go, let's.

Get fifty behind it. Yeah, fifty with you know mother, I love about It's that.

Baby, you know what I'm saying.

Even smoking exactly, look at the ship one hundred and sixty six.

Smoking was.

The one to one one.

Yeah yeah, why like that is a you know that and became one of those series that you know, wanna be around for the rest of forever, like Power just the name Power, Like it's like one of those shows. It's like the modern day New York Undercover. But you know what I mean expanded, You know what I mean, they keep expanding, Like did you have a desire to be a part of that before you got the call or.

Was it.

What for the whole power joint? Maybe like ten years. I think this year is ten years for the Power.

Be on TV that yeah, yeah, four years.

Yeah.

And see another one that did the theme song thing, you know what I mean? Yeah, he turned out.

I guess they want to be saying this comes from the poor.

You don't want even put you on color.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

That's one of the songs that they can play in the club club and I'm cool. I hate being in the club and they playing future and I get in and they start playing every little step out of no where, They'll play Bobby Brown' like nigga.

I Am not Bobby Brown nigga. Yeah, that's that'd be killing every time do something.

You know to be funny there. But if I hated the mic and you go and stay and do the dance more, you're up. You remember the damn.

I hate that, bro, I hate it.

That has just been crazy.

If you.

Brown and I.

Know, but what makes you what I mean?

I mean, I understand that part, But when you say you hate it, that means that it has happened in so many different ways that it made you hate this ship.

People be trying to be funny and.

We heard all the it's like a pretty girl like she heard that. She's been pretty a million times, so now she's kind of numb to it.

Okay, you know what I mean.

Like, so now it's like I've heard every single Bobby Brown joke in the world.

I've heard every single one.

I've seen all the memes, so now it's just like when I hear it, it's like, come on, bro, you know what I mean. So I'm trying to get over the fact that it's their experience with me. So let me let me go ahead and let them get that.

Yeah, I mean, like you.

Said, motherfucker still gonna be doing You heard.

That video movie.

Took it out, to it out, get out, they took they took it out.

My favorite.

Nigga ship, Easy Easy. That nigga killed that.

I ain't getting a chance to see Bobby Brown, but I got all that Bobby Brown. So when I saw that glimpse of Bobby Brown, I.

Was like, it's the love and I was it was amazing seeing that people were happy that he was back.

Yeah, yeah, you see, I remember being Bobby Brown Bobby Brown that me and the TV show.

That's the Bobby Brown I grew up with. You know what I'm saying.

I remember just the music because I grew up in the house with all my family members.

But I remember my uncle.

My uncle was a DJ, and one of the things that he always used to tell me about Bobby Brown is he would always reference baby Face, like, you know, baby Face wrote all this ship.

Baby Face wrote the whole album. Matter of fact, baby Face wrote all this.

So it just made me look at like, I just have an affinity for the niggas that write music like the coming from my uncle baby Face, Small Robinson. You know that the writers and niggas that can write music for themselves, then cano and niggas like that they can type into I don't know how the niggas do that, Like Babyface wrote super Woman, That's my mama's favorite song. But to be able to tap into a woman's mentality to write from that perspective, it's crazy.

It's a gift, bro, you know what I mean, It's crazy.

They walking in their purpose so they ain't never gonna miss.

All the way I made. You want to get into the production of music. You know what I mean, drum producers wanted to do everything music.

So when I got to fam you, it was like that's when I got introduced to fruity loops and I started cooking.

Up back in the way. Yeah whatever, cooking bro got one with Sei, you got one?

Yeah, he are are talent, super slept on and the production is such a big part of the music, and like you know what I mean. I always had my favorite producers, like the young nigga cashc Bang out of New York right now that like all that this that sound like when.
