• 3:29
  Speaker 8: to hold you accountable.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: And then it's also National Dog Biscuit Day.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So if you have a dog that you love and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: people are really like treating these dogs like actual humans now,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: go give them a new doggy biscuit for today because
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's their holiday.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Is this pet store I found recently? And I'd be
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: going in there just to hold dogs. They got like
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: 30 dogs in there.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It's so sad. Why don't you just take one of
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: them home?

  Speaker 4: Girl, let me tell you, I got an estimate on

  Speaker 4: It's like in that same family of dogs.

  Speaker 3: They want for this dog.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Who would have been in the goddamn store for three months? Like,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I need a Clarence puppy at this point.
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: Who the fuck would give y'all $ 3, 100 for a dog?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Well, you can go to the ASPCA or something like that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, see, now I don't want that much of a discount. Okay,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I don't want puppy mill doggy, no.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I'm good on that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: All right, so today in stupid internet news, I found
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: this kind of interesting.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So there's this.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: young lady okay she's a 29 year old um from the.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: UK she has a degree.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: In engineering she's actually an engineer graduated from the University
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: of Hull um 29 years old again but she had
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: been funding.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: She graduated from the University of Hull I ain't.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Never heard of that school H-U-L-L Oh, yeah. Same thing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But baby girl, but I had get into the bag,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, sell literally selling cocaine, heroin, marijuana to fund
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: her lavish lifestyle.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And I mean, this is nothing new. Like, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: we've got females that sell drugs.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: If you see her, she's a pretty blonde hair, blue eye,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: white girl. And she got caught because she got stopped
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: for speeding. And she had a bunch of drugs in
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: the car.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And money. So just God was like, time out, bitch.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: The thing about this story I found the most interesting
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: is the comments from our lovely Kangs in regards to
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: this bunny being arrested for selling drugs. They ready to
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: risk it all for her. But let it have been
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: a damn black woman. And y'all would probably be able
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: to find some reason why we so fucked up for
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: selling drugs like everybody don't sell drugs.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Like, we would be the worst for having gotten caught.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: We'd be the worst for selling drugs based on today's
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: climate amongst black men and women. But they love little blondie.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Was she in jail?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: She's in jail. Yeah, she's in jail. This just happened recently.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: Y'all niggas put some money on her books.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Y'all love her so much.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Calling her an entrepreneurial queen. You know what I'm saying?
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: We opened up a boutique. or a hair store or
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: hair company, it's a problem. All y'all bitches do is
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: wear weave or sell weave. But she could sell weed.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Nigga, I sell weave, weed, and babysit all at the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: same billet.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: What you gonna do about it?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Smart and beautiful.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: You know, it was just real nice how they were
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: supporting her. I just wish that as black women we
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: could get the same type of support when we're doing
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: good stuff Right?
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Or illegal shit.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Or illegal shit. Because there's some way there's a man
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: benefiting off of it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: But hey.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Perhaps. Perhaps there's a man benefiting off of it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Allegedly.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Alright, so I don't know if y'all were under a rock,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but Rihanna.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: And A $ AP.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And the baby were on the cover of British Vogue
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for March. And if you haven't seen the picture, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Rihanna in the forefront. and they're prancing through the sand
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on the beach, and ASAP, and the baby is in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: tow behind, holding her hand, and she's looking in the camera,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and he is kissing this cute little lovable baby and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: following suit. And there's a lot of people, I think
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: mostly men perhaps, I won't say for sure, but they
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: were upset with what the image portrayed to them as
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like diminishing the value of the black man in the family.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And I was just like, man, y'all just find a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: reason to be mad about everything.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: God damn.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, the magazine, the Vogue is about this billionaire
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: bitch that they want.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: They didn't want, you know, ASAP.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: He is the family member and she is the forefront
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because this is about her.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Like, I'm sure if they do, if somebody does a.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Magazine article on perhaps being in trouble for shooting somebody,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: he might be in the front.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: She could have done Vogue by herself. She included her boyfriend,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the father of her son. Like, that's a good deed.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And now she does look way, I noticed it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Before the internet started acting crazy about it, like how
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: much bigger she looks because they do have him like
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: in the four, you know, in the background.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: But I don't see the problem. She didn't have to
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: include him at all. She could have done that with
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: just her baby. You know, then you guys would say
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: something about that as well.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: So I believe ASAP supports her and everything she does.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: You saw him at the Super Bowl.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: He was.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Applauding her on the sideline.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Like the other part that I don't understand is so
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: people are making jokes. Men specifically saying like, oh, yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: he got her pregnant again. He getting that bag. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: y'all don't like the image that portrays a woman being
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: the head when he's putting babies in her. Like, this
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: is y'all joke now. This is not our joke, okay?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Him putting babies in her to get the bag, like
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: to get her money, right?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: But that's what this looks like if the woman is
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the head. Right.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: You can't have it both ways. I feel like we
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: used to kind of damned if you do, damned if
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: you don't.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And I don't know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I'm starting to already know that it's the men who
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: actually like women They aren't the ones that are talking
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: And if you fucking a billionaire and getting a billionaire.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Bitch pregnant, just walk in the back for real and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: just be quiet and be happy.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: They don't want to walk beside us they don't want
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: to walk beside us they don't want us in front
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: of them either they actually want to be on top
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: of us that's it that's it because what are y'all
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: complaining for It's her cover.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: It's about her.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: It doesn't mean that he is not a man in
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: her relationship. Right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: When's the last time A $ AP Rocky even put anything out?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure she's done Vogue before.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Has A $ AP Rocky ever done Vogue?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: He did it this time. You know, shout out to
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: A $ AP.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, just relax. Okay?
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and find something to be mad about.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Because this ain't it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: All right, so, Tam, did you see.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: how Don Lemon, he was absent from CNN the other day. Basically,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: the nigga was a no call, no show. After talking
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: shit about Nikki Haley, she's 51, running for president. She's
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: a woman, right?
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: South Carolina.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: He basically said that she should be careful when speaking
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: on people not being in their prime because she's a
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: 51-year-old woman.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: That's past her prime. Now, are we talking about being
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the president?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Or are we talking about baby-making prime?
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Like, what are you talking about, Don Lamont?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: It got to be baby-making prime because our current president.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Is much older than Nikki Haley.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So what are you speaking to, Don?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: So why is that even a topic of discussion because
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: this woman is running for president? What does her childbearing
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: years have to do with her being capable of of
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: being the president of the United States.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I'm confused.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: This ass needs to actually be fired. I'm really tired
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: of Don Lamon. Look, one of the people from Fox
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: be calling that boy Don Lamon. It's hella disrespectful, right?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: But it's funny. Don Lamon, what are you talking about?
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I actually like Don Lemon, though. I like him.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He is so funny during the New Year's Eve shit.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about his real, the point of views that
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: he has. Specifically, I stopped liking his ass many years
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: ago when his face looked a lot younger. He was
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: pandering to the white community, as far as I'm concerned,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: and talking so much shit about the black community.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Really? Yes.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I'll send you the clip. This is earlier on. So
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I guess he was trying to establish himself to let
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: them know what side he was on.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: And he's not on our side.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: No? Okay?
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: At all.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Damn, you got to send me that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Not Don.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Not Don.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, Don Lemon. He did that. And it was.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm not a huge fan.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Of Nikki Haley myself either, but I don't like him
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: implying that being able to bear a child has any
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: validity on how she can run the country.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: So he took to Twitter and he said, the reference
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I made to a woman's prime this morning was.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: and I regret it. A woman's age doesn't define her
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: life who prove that every day.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: So, why?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Who paid you to do that? I don't accept all sorries.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. It was just really weird where he took.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: It.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: It was weird.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: His comment is not going to change the outcome of
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: her election. or not being elected.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: It's just really weird because this is a man who doesn't,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: you don't, never mind.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Next, on the docket. Alright.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It is Black History Month and it was actually this
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: past weekend.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: We celebrated the stars of all.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: All Star Weekend in Utah happened and they had the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: dunk contest And baby, Mack McClung dunked all.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Of our black asses for Black History Month. I mean,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: you know what?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say, like, oh, they cheated and gave
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that white boy the win.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: But baby, no.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: You saw the footage.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: This nigga was doing Simone Biles flips to the goddamn
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: basketball goal. Like, just spinning in the air and dunking, like. Like,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he was on ice skates just spinning in the sky.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: And I was like, damn, this white boy. But you
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: know what?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it because the last few years, the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: dunk contest has been sorry as fuck.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: It was just boring. It was like niggas just running
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: up and putting it in the hole. Like they usually do.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Like they do at my house.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I'm joking. I'm joking.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I'm joking. So, yeah, that was good.

  Speaker 3: my list of things to do.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: You know, I like going to the basketball games. I
• 15:56

  Speaker 1: than at the game.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Something about being somewhere warm and cozy is just so
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: much better being on them cold ass seats. You can
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: be in a suite and that's better, but they.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Seem so far away.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: They so small out there. Even if you have good seats,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: they so far away running. They don't even look like
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: they running fast.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Right.

  Speaker 5: They be running full speed, but when you sitting out there,

  Speaker 5: it look like, damn, that nigga is way on the
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: other side of that field. So I don't like it.

  Speaker 3: Yes, we really appreciate it. So listen. This is kick
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: it off.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: So when people first see you pop up, I guess
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: they probably assume you just popped up somewhere on BMF,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: but you've been at this for a while. So tell
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: our listeners when you got started, how long you've been
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: in the game, maybe even go over some of your
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: other works, what you got going on.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: So I got started in business a little bit ago.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying? My very first edition ESPN commercial.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: And I booked that. And then from there, I was
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: doing modeling and acting together. I felt acting was more
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: interesting for me to do. Modeling, you're just standing there
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: taking photos and stuff like that. But as an actor,
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: you get to really do research and deep dive into
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: these characters. So I've been fortunate enough to do a
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: lot of good stuff from big time commercials, theater, music videos.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: What else?
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: And you've probably seen stuff like Tyler Perry House of
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Pain Pip or Kiki Palmer doing mechs Blue Blood Underground
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Magnum P.I. Power so I've been a part of 50
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Cent Universe yeah I've been in the game for some
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: time I've been fortunate enough.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: To do some good work this nigga was in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Big Pimpin' video Sam.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Like I was like wait because I can't find his
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: age I like to be I like to know our
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: guests signs before we get here it's like a little
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: baseline for me but I can't find it so big
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: pimp and I niggas like that 40.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah like I went to research you because I be
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: trying to get your personal business I couldn't find shit
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: about your personal business online.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: When I try to look up K-9, I can't find
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: nothing on him.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Me either.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: K-9 is straight nigga. You an actor. I want to
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: know who you go with, nigga.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Who you fucking?
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: That's what I was trying.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: To find. You can't find nothing. You know what I'm saying?
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I got to keep something.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: That was my question.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Do you prefer just to keep your personal life separate?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: You just like to stay on brand when it comes
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to acting? I mean, especially with social media, like, people
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: like to see your real life. But mostly we see, like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: your actor and your roles. We see more of K-9
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: than we see of Rayon.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: I used to have more of my personal stuff on
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: my IG. And then, you know, my team, also some friends,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: family would tell me, yo, you got to clean up
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: your social media.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You know, we knew that this role would come out,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: this role might.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: be a you know uh popular role so it was
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: like so you put your.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Girlfriend off your social media that's what we're hearing no
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: i just.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Took a lot of things off the social media i
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: took a lot of things off social media um so
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: that's why you see right now you just see i
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: just stopped so you got a finston so listen so listen.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I'm jamaican so you know i can hit it right
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: there so.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: You know, so I get down to my dance, so
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: I can't be having, K-9 don't be dancing, straight up.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: People see me in the club, they're like, yo, Ray,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: why you not dancing?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: K-9 don't dance. That's it, that's all. Straight up, that's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: how it is.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: So we only know K-9, right? So how does K-9
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: and Rayon, what's the similarity in the differences?
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Similarities is, one of the similarities we have is we
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: don't like to be disrespected I don't like to be disrespected.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: And we know where K-9 goes once he's disrespected. That's
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: one of the similarities we have. I like to assess,
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: I call it assess the rival. So I like to
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: wear a lot of jewelry. He likes to wear a
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: lot of jewelry. We like to dress nice. Also, we
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: played basketball at a high level. You know, he was
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: like a street legend out of Detroit. I played basketball
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: at a high level.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You can hoop, nigga.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Why I cross your ass up? Why I cross your
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: ass up, Rhea?
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: I was nice. I'm telling y'all, I was nice. The
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: differences we have is that I know he wasn't getting
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: down in the dances.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I go in when it comes to dance.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Not you in the dance contest.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Dancing, right? Yeah, so that's one of the major
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: differences we have.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know if he went to with the college,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: because I graduated from John Jay as well, so I
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: wanted to be an FBI agent. You know, I was
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: trying to be a hobo. You know what I'm saying?
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: He was on the other side of the fence here.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: So that's probably the major differences. Also, we both are family-oriented.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: He loves his family. I love my family. I like
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: to be around my family. So we got a decent
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: amount of similarities, but his evil is crazy.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So what kind of research did you have to do
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to become the character?
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: What did it take?
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: I looked up, did a lot of YouTube videos, checked
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: out Colombians, some Colombians, Cartel are.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I checked out YBI.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Who was one of the biggest African-American crowd families in Detroit.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: So those are the bases that I had at first.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of videos just on Detroit itself. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: even watched the Bad Boys video, basketball Bad Boys, Isaiah
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Thomas and the boys. And then I got information about
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: him right on my second rehearsal. So I got information
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: on K-9 and what me and my coach Sheik from
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Sheik Studios was working on. That's exactly what he was about.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: So it connected when I did that. And I was
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: able to, you know, play this character listening to DMX
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: every day. Because what DMX, the lyrics of DMX was saying,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: K-9 was living his life on the streets. So that
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: helped a lot by listening to DMX every day. just
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: different songs of DMX. And that was one of my
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: favorite artists.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Rest in peace.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: So you said you have a degree in criminal justice
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: and you wanted to be an FBI agent. So your
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: dream role would then be not a canine character, right?
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Which one do you prefer? Do you want to be
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: an FBI agent on TV?
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Of course. Listen, I could play a little.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: a little, let's say, similar to Alonzo on training day, right?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: That could be said, right?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: There's like K-9 and FBI agents together.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you this. I have a question.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: How do you go from, because when I think of
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: an FBI agent, I think of someone who's like calculated, stoic,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: maybe even introverted.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: How do you go from wanting to be that to acting?
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: That just seems like too broad ends of the spectrum.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I don't, I don't, what it was,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: was I never grew up wanting to be an actor.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: What happened to what me, what gave me the interest
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: was I would hear from people, people like, hey, you
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: got to look, you should get into modeling.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: That's literally the reason why I got into it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I was shy, even though.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody, some people think I'm not, I was really shy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: And so I felt that was God angels telling me, hey,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: this is, This might be a purpose, right?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Look into it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: That time I was going to school and I was like,
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: all right, let me take some pictures. I took pictures
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: at a local mall, looked in the newspaper, the Daily News,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: and then looked for actors and models and went there
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: and booked their first audition. So I was like, okay,
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: maybe this is my calling. That's really how it went.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And I know the work ethic that I put in.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: So I know if I was an FBI agent, the
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: crimes I would want to solve was capital punishment crimes.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: right so um homicides and um rapings that would be
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: my uh expertise that i'll be looking into into a
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: case and i know man you know people would come
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: after you in that type of business like you don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: want the you don't want the problems in real.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: Life right like liam and i was one.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: Of the things i was like yeah you got to
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: worry about your family and stuff like that so i
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: think as an.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Growing up, I also.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Wanted to probably be in the NBA or NFL, able
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: to play this as a, do that as an athlete.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: That's dope.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I think about Liam's, Hemsworth and Taken. Like, that's the nigga,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you would be like the nigga version of that, right?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I have a special set of skills.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: We'll find you, we'll kill you.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: So you're from Brooklyn, and BMF was based on the
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: streets of Detroit. So what are some of the things
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: like you took away from, you know, growing up in
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn in comparison to Detroit?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Because I mean, it's both rough, right?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, growing up, I grew up in Blackwood,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: so my last road, you've seen the streets.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: You know how it is.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: I've been, the era I grew up in is when
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: you can't even go to the corner or around the block.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: You get robbed.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: So I'm from those times. Canine, he will rob you. Like,
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: canine's the type of dude He'll give you money and
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: then rob you right after. Like, you know, that's the
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: gravity there. So I've been around that life from Brooklyn.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Been around certain situations, some of what K & L
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: was in. So those situations you see, you kind of remember.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: You call that, whatever you're playing around with, you kind
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: of call that sense memory, which going back to what
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: you have seen and what you have experienced, and you
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: can use that. Most of the time, the method of
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: acting that I use, the method of acting is being
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: in the moment.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: So whatever's going on right here and now, I'm really
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: here and taking everything in and portraying what's going on
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: right now. But you use a little sense of memory
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: in developing the research. So from going in Brooklyn and
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: being around different, you know, seeing gangs grow up, right?
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: I'm from the times when you saw Bloods and Crypt
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: out here doing craziness. Craziness you see going on the train.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: So all this stuff you remember and you're able to
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: bring this to the character. any little bit that you
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: can take from growing up and you're able to bring
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: it to the character.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: When you say you do method acting, and I was
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: taking acting classes, right? And we had to do a
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: scene that was like really sad, right? And when I
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: was done, I could not unsad myself. Like I was
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: sad for like two days. So how do you like,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: because K-9 are evil ass niggas, so if you walk
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: around evil all day because you playing this character.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: So this is what I tell people that's important so
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: what the what I think what it was so you
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: would be sad did you take it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: From yeah like I just channeled some hurt that I
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: already had and then I couldn't let it go and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that's Right.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: And that's what they call sense memory.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: And that's why I tell people that to me, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: don't want to do that because you could be in
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: that space and you probably won't be able to get
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: out of that space.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: For some time because you're taking trauma from, you know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: back in the day. That's what I tell people.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: That's really, you got to be careful, you know, doing
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: sense memory. But with me and with K-9, I was
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: able to actually, once the cameras start, getting the character
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: with the cameras off, smiling.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: People were like, yo, bro, how you able.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: To do that?
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: I was like, yo, I told him. But, yeah, it's times, though, offset.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: I did actually kind of, it was K-9 outside sometimes.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: I got just, you know, sometimes I got into it
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: with the security guard. You kind of see K-9 come
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: out at a moment outside of a club one day.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I'm talking as if I'm hanging out. I'm like, yo,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: where the guns at?
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: So sometimes it would come out here and there, but
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: for the most part, yeah, once I'm done, once it's
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: just cut, I'm out the character.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So I'll tell you, for example, with Lamar, right?
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: So if I see Lamar, you see Lamar and say,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Lamar's that dude all the time.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: You can tell he's in that space constantly. throughout the
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: whole time. And some people, that's the way they stay
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: in character.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Because if you remember when Will Smith was talking about
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: the other day, his movie, Emancipation, Ben Foster did that.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Ben Foster was in character from day one. And then
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: once he was done, he came over to Will Smith
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: and said, hi, my name is Ben. Literally, that's just
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: how some actors are. And some actors will be in
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: that space for a whole duration of filming. And some
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: actors like myself, like Will Smith said, same thing, outside
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: the screen, boom, I'm chilling, da-da-da-da-da-da.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: So they just get possessed by the real characters.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Like, I would think Heath Ledger was probably like that.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I heard a letter when he played the Jokey that
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: some people said he was dead rats, dead mouses or rats. Like,
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: that's crazy. But yeah, some people see a character like that.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's almost like you psych yourself out to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: actually become that person.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: I think when Denzel did training, I think he... from
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: what I understand, he was like in the back of
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: a cop car driving around for a month just kind
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: of seeing how they patrol and do stuff like that.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: So a lot of us do our research like that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: But yeah, if you dive into those characters and you
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: use sense of memory, it's pretty tough. Yeah, I can
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: fuck you up.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: If I ever jump back out there, I only want
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to do funny shit from here.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to take improv one-on-one.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: That's like, That's what I probably need to try.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: So Tam called K-9 evil. I saw a post on
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: your page.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: It's basically like a moral alignment test. And they had
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: K-9 as like a neutral evil. Mine was chaotic good.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Meaning I'll fuck some shit up if need be. For
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: the greater good. Or some Robin Hood type shit. I
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: thought that was interesting because I don't know if he's evil.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: I don't think that Okay, so the scene where he
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: shot the coach from the other.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Team, that was fucked up. Does he just do that
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: type of stuff?
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that was his real character or not,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: or was that just for the movie?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: It was like that life. I'll tell you a story.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: When I met one of the OGs who rocked with
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Big Meech and them back then, he found out that
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I was playing the role, and the way he looked
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: at me, he was like, I was scared of that dude.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: That's how, you know, his real name is Lawrence DeWall.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: They said he was like a hood legend, like a.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like his real name was Dog. Lawrence DeWall is his,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: you know, his real name and his street name Dog.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: But yeah, when he was there, they were telling him
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: the story about the basketball team, right?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So basketball team, he's like, yo, how many birds you got?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Two hundred birds, you got five.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Anyone of y'all motherfuckers don't bring my money on time,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: I'll kill all five of y'all motherfuckers. That's literally what
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: he said. So when I say that line in the first...
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: That's real.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: So one of the.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Connections, how I knew I was in sync, when the
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: OG told me this, we was about two, three months
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: into filming. So day one now, right? I walk into
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: the gym, same gym as the city gym that they recreate.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: And I see the five dudes on the other team.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: And I walk up to them. I don't even introduce myself.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: I said, any one of y'all five motherfuckers hit this
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: last shot, I'm killing all five of y'all niggas. And
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: I walked off to get miked. That's literally how I
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: knew I was in sync. When the homie told me that,
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: I sold.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: It was a wrap. From day one, I was that dude.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? I was really into it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Not you threatening niggas in real life.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Real life. Yo, they might get back like, yo, who
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: is this dude?
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Like, no, I didn't say, I didn't apologize. I didn't
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: say nothing to him after I was filming. That's literally
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: how I felt at the time. And once he told
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: me that, I was like, yo, that's crazy. I was
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: in sync with this dude from day one.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Now, um, Watching the show, I can tell the characters
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: seem very more authentic in season two than season one.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: It seems like y'all are gelling well. How did you
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: build your chemistry with Meek?
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Me and Meek, little Meek was able to hang out
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: before we started filming.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: I went by his house and we was there for
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: four hours, mostly talking about personal stuff. And then we
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: got into the work, but we FaceTimed each other. So yeah,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: we was able to make that chemistry from early. Uh,
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: and then with the other cast members, seeing them on
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: set and, you know, all of them are, you know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: kind of like cheering me on because I'm the new,
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: you know, the new plug.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, they like, they like my character as well.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: So they was able to see what I was doing
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: and they were, they were definitely like cheering me on
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: the whole time. Even one of my biggest supporters on
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: the show was, um, Miles Truitt. So Miles was like, yo, man,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: I just love watching work. Like when he saw me
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: on that basketball court, I technically wasn't supposed to have
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: any lines, but he just saw my demeanor once I
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: got there.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: He said, bro, I was watching everything that you do.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: And I like the fact that he did that.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Like at a certain time of doing scenes, he would
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: just sit down and him and Yusuf, and they would
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: watch what I'm doing so he could learn. And I
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: was like, oh, that's pretty cool. Because I've been in
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: the game for a little, you know, for a minute.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Not too many people probably know it until you see
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: me now. Then you go back and be like, oh,
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: you can do this and do that. But I've been
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: in the game for a minute, you know, and got
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: some solid. portray that on BMF.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: Do you ever worry about being typecast?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Since I've been playing K-9, a lot of people have
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: been sending me those similar type of roles. Me as
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: an artist, I'm a real artist that wants to challenge
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: myself and do all different types of roles. So it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: fun to play the bad guy, but I don't want
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: to always have to play the bad guy. Pyrenee, of course,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: will be great, depending on what.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: The role is.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: But being that I just did K-9, I don't want
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: my next role to be me playing another type similar.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: Even though it's fun to play, don't get me wrong. Like,
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: one of the auditions I had recently was for Pastor,
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: and I was excited about that. And my sister and
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: some of my friends were excited about this. So that'll
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: be something different to play. I'll look forward, if I
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: do book the role, I'll look forward to playing something
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: like that. Just to challenge myself. Like you mentioned, Underground, right?
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Playing an abolitionist, you know.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Those are just different types of roles. Playing a cop.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: They expand my creative tool. So I get a lot
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: right now of authors to play as someone who always
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: came out right now. I don't want to be like that.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Idris Elba right now is in the headlines
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: because he said he no longer wants to be referred
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: to as a black actor. And some people agree with him.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Like Lance Gross, you know, came to his defense as well.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: But what's the actor, John Boyega?
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: John Boyega.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: He basically was saying, like, we should focus on who's
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: creating these typecasts.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: As opposed to trying to adjust for them.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: Well, I haven't read the story. I've heard about it recently.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: I don't get what people think what will be considered
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: a black actor. You know what I mean? You know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I'm an African-American actor.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know who Huge American.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Huge American.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: I don't know how you want me to slice it,
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: but maybe he doesn't want to be considered just doing, what,
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: black roles?
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Black movies or something like that?
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I guess if you think about other professions, like doctor, lawyer,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: no one says black doctor.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: No one says, well, I don't know. When I go
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: to look for my doctor, I do want to meet him.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: I go for a black doctor.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but in public, no one calls them a black
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: doctor or a black lawyer or a black pharmacist.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? So this is a profession
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: in acting, so why is it a black actor?
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're in the conversation as well. Would it be? Hey,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: black actor, I don't see where that would be for Idris, right?
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: If somebody's saying, I'm looking for actor, like he's even
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: being considered for 007, right?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: He did that though, right? Didn't he do James Bond already?
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: No, he hasn't.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: It would be dope to do it, but I don't
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: see where the conversation would be. would be, hey, he's
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: a black actor. When they're talking about a role, hey,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: hit yourself as a black actor.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: We want him. I don't see where that conversation would
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: come to. I don't know.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: I would probably have to research that and see what
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: the question was asked about and he responded like that. Yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: I don't see where it would be like, hey, you know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: I don't want to be considered a black actor.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, he doesn't want to refer to himself as a
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: black actor anymore.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, you are a black actor, though.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Nigga.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: You know, I think normally when we see roles that
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: come in, it will say, you know, black.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Like, they would they want this role to be black. Right.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You know, so, I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know where you put a role for that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: That's my guy, though. That's my guy. I would have
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: loved to play his brother on The Wire. That would
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: have been cool.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: That would be cool.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: If you could have anybody play you in a movie,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: who would you pick to play you?
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: Wow, I've never got asked that question. somebody to play me.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: That's interesting. I don't know too many young actors that's
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: going to be a problem. All right. If I had
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: to pick somebody who's older, I would pick Derek Luke. Yeah,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: I think Derek Luke, me and him have some similarities.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: I think Derek Luke for sure. Because when I was
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: watching him the other day answer a question, I was like, oh.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. I was just saying, we miss him. Like,
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: where is Derek Lue? Like, where is he?
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: He's doing a film, well, a show with one of
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: my friends. It's called, it's a Disney project show. It's coming,
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: I don't remember it right now, but it's like a
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: basketball show. But that's what he has now. But I
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: know he was doing a couple theater projects as well.
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: Because I did ask, yo, where's this dude? And sometimes
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: when you don't see us, We're probably doing some type
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: of theater, Broadway or something like that.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: So that's what he was doing.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I like him.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: You too. Every time somebody tried to play with me,
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I'd be like, I'm still standing.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I'm still strong.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite lines.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: I don't think if somebody had to play me, it
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: would be number one.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I was like, you got to get that look to
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: play me.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you this. Theater or film? Film.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Which one do you And I think, I love theater.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: You get the instant gratification from the audience right then
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: and there. But, film is more money. And the thing
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: about film is you get to see this years from now.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: So when I had kids, I'd be able to show
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: my kids, listen, your pops was going in a little
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: bit back then, you know?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: So that's what it is. But theater is fun.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: Instant gratification, like I said, sometimes they tape it, but
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: sometimes you don't get your tape. You ain't gonna know
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: what you did, you know? But yeah, Phil for sure.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Always.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: 100%.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: So what's that one role that you practiced for, you
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: auditioned for, you thought you did, you know, you thought
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: this was your fucking role.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: And then it was given to somebody else.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: It's another way it's brought. I ain't gonna tell.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: You the network. But it was a network.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: That I did really kill his role.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I think I was even, I even auditioned.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: For, I forgot where I was.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: I might not have been on location. But I did
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: I got the role, right? And what ended up happening is,
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: an hour later, they said they made a mistake. So
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: I got the role taken from me. I didn't beef
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I was disappointed. I wasn't mad.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: And then I was like, you know, to the network, yeah,
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: that's the type of stuff that they do. but now
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: I'm sure that they see me on DMF like, man,
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: we made a mistake.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Missed opportunity.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: I did kill the audition, but I guess they wanted
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: somebody else because of the other person's popularity.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I don't respect that. And I get it, right?
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: People feel that somebody has 200,000 followers, they're going to be,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: they're going to sell the show, whatever it is, or
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: sell the movie, right? They're going to bring fans to it,
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: but Sometimes you gotta just look at talent, and that's
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: why I respect 50 Cent, because, you know, you look
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: at all the people. Like, Omari Hart was dope before Ghost.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: Nobody knew, you know, nobody really knew of his.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Talent like that.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: And then once he got on Power, boom, Skyrocket. But
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: he was dope before that. Like, I put it was
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: dope since Gridiron Gang. I was like, oh, who's this dude?
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Um... I thought he was fine.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, who is this fine ass nigga?
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: And then you've got Joseph Sikora, Tommy, right? Now he's
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: taking off. Michael Rainey Jr. is taking off. He doesn't
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: look for these names for some of these roles. And
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: just like Tyler Perry as well.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Same thing.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: Tyler Perry has been able to give us actors some
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: of these roles and And then, you know, we get
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: out there, we, we, we, we, what do we call them?
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Household names.
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: So they're taking some of us household names. Were you in,
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: or are you in the beauty salon or you're in
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: the barbershop?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: You are there.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: Hey, who are you drinking with me? Can't you get
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: more gangster? You get those kinds of talks. So that's
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: cool to listen to stuff like that.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Now, did you see like that movie that you auditioned
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: for and they told you you had the role?
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: Did you go back and watch the movie? He was like, man, man, Nick.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I watched the show. I was like.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I want to know what it was.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, come on. I'd have been like, come on.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: I'd have killed this shit.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: He did okay. He did okay. But I just, I
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: don't know. You guys saw the work I did on BMF. That,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I would have, you know, I'd have did my thing.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I'd have did my thing.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: I believe you on BMF.
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: A lot of people like when I play bad guys.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: One of the roles that people saw that they liked
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: what I played was on Pimp when I played Jamal.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: He was a drug dealer as well. Some of my
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: friends saw this. Man, I love watching you play a
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: bad guy. So they was anticipating watching me play K-9.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: They was ready to see me do this role as well.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: How was it worth $ 150?
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Sam.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: No, I was about to say when they sent over

• 46:48
  Speaker 6: A look my boy sent me a text this girl

• 46:58
  Speaker 5: There's more coochie. That was just another coochie coupon. One
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: more question about the show, because.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Then I'm trying to get in your personal booth.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: How's it like working with 50 Cent? Like, AJ was.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: About to ask. Yo, 50's cool, man.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: He came on set, and I met him twice in
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: a day. I met him in the gym, so I'm
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: walking in the gym. I got my, I drink a
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: gallon of water a day, walk in, and he sees me,
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: and he's like.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: You can go drink all of that. I said, come on, man.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: You know, I do this all day, every day. And
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: then somebody yelled out.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, what time you went to bed? I went to
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: bed at 5 p.m.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: The other night. And then he was like, look, if
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: y'all don't ask this and y'all spend y'all money at
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: the casino, y'all lose money, y'all get to start. So
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: everybody started laughing and, you know, we just started working
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: on it and still talking trash. And the next time
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: I met him was the same day when I'm doing
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: the scene outside the gym, where I should be doing
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: the head. So he takes off his headset, he walks
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: toward me, he said, So we shoot motherfuckers in broad
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: daylight now?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: I said, bro, this is what we do. You know
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: And then after that, we spoke for like a good
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: 20 or 30 minutes. And I'm telling him, we got
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: to give you a flower just like we give Tyler
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: Perry flowers. They're giving us the opportunity.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: He definitely got.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: A niche, a little genre. This is his genre.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: This is his genre, this type of shit. Like all
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: of this stuff is like belly, like these TV shows.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Like all the classic Yeah, her shit.
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: And he said at the time he was like, he
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: got 25 projects in production.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: So he working. He bringing a lot of these projects out. Yeah,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: he getting that money. Green light gang.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: You got any more questions about BMS?
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. Go ahead.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: Wow. So, what's it like juggling a relationship and work?
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: That's a.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: That. That's what you're doing. That's what you're doing here.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: That's what you're doing.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: We're pivoting.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: That's what we're doing.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: We're talking about present and we're talking about the past.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: See, I forget you, but I think we're talking about
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: the present and the past. The present. So you're trying
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: to get me right there. I see you, but I'm
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: going to answer. I'm going to ask for it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: I think it's tough because sometimes, you know, if you're
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: outside with the person that you're dating and you have
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: these bookings and stuff like that and then you have.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Different people that's coming up to you and they're trying
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: to holler at you.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: Ooh, you make me sick.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: It can be difficult for the person that you're with
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: because they're seeing that you know, different females coming up
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: to you, people trying to talk to you. I think
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: I've had one a while, this is a while back though.
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: Somebody wanted me to write an autograph on their breast, literally.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: So, things like that, you know, it's.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Kind of like... And your girl was right there?
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: Not she wasn't there at the time, but just saying
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: if she was, like something like that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: But yeah, you know, I think it's tough, you know,
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: because then you had to be different places, right? I
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: was in Atlanta... for the week at Houston. I've been
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: in New York busy all, all day, every day. And
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: then I'm going to LA. Um, so yeah, it's tough
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: because you don't, you're not able to spend as much time. Uh,
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: if you're doing a project, you're filming 16 hours a day.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: So you definitely can't, you know, spend the time that
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: you want to spend. And sometimes you really want to
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: be in these characters. Like it was a, it was
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: a showdown movie I was doing. And I think I
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: was there.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: For 18 days.
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: And I was like, these 18 days I'm going in.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Like I'm, could be really focused. And those are the
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: times where you can't spend as much time. And it's
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: difficult because you have those conversations. You have those arguments.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: You know, I came on one time when I was
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: four and a half. And my girl was like, yo,
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: you drinking?
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, what do you mean? I was on set.
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: So you have those.
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: Uncomfortable kind of conversations at times. So it's definitely very
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: hard to balance a relationship. And then you get all
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: different types of pretty women, right?
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: That people DM you. People see you.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm at the club last night, you know,
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: different ladies.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Coming up to me wanting to take pictures.
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: So it's, yeah, it's definitely difficult.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: I think I'm letting my nigga sign titties. I'm not
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: getting mad about that.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: My nigga better learn how to write on a piece
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: of paper and mind his fucking business.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't care. Did you sign the titty? He's sawing
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: the titties.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: No, I'm my half.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: I'm my half.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: But it was with a pen, though, not a mark.
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: It was with a pen. So I'm my half.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: So you had to write real slow so the ink
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: can come out. In cursive. Long cursive.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nigga.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I haven't reached to the top.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: It's definitely something.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Are you in a relationship right now?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I am. I am.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Congrats.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you. How do you feel about marriage?
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: I've always grew up wanting to get married eventually. You know,
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: I grew up with both my parents. So I was
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: fortunate enough to see, you know, the good and the
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: bad with marriage. But yeah, I've always thought about, of course,
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: at one point getting married.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, girls, he off the market, so stay out of
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: his DMs talking about y'all shivers.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: They just trying to test to see how strong the
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: relationship is.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: They can pictures in my DMs, too.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: Really? Girl sitting nudes?
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Nudes, y'all.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: It's crazy.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: He's hoeing.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Boy, there's no.
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: Real easy way to say this, but look, you're sick.
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Segment called Sim Series and Dumb Bitch Story on our
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: show where we asked our guests to share a time
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: where they got played by the opposite sex.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: Do you have a story that you can share with us?
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: That I got played? Yo, listen, I've been trying to
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: think about this for a minute. I literally honestly don't
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: remember the last time I got played.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: By It don't have to be super played.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: It can be like a little... Ghosted.
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: When I asked a girl for a number, she said, no,
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: I'm sure that happened.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I don't remember it recently, but I'm sure that that happened.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Better not be recent.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, better not be. I'm calling her. I'm all back.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: I'm all back when I was outside. I don't remember.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: I'm sure I've had times of trying to talk to
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: a girl and.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Nah I'm good I'll give you.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: My number maybe she had a guy though that don't
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: count as getting played cause she might just be spoken
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: for already.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah that's true that's.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: True I swear this question is so like when we
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: get a woman on they be.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: Like girl I got a million.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Times we be getting played I don't.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: See how women get played I can see a guy
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: getting played but a woman getting played.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: No, we be getting played, too.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: We be getting played, I guess, more than y'all because
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: y'all can't even think of a story half the time.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm up here trying to think of a story. Like, man. Hey,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: hold on. All right, so here's another thing, though. We talk,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: all right, if we talk.
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: About being played, like, let's say, okay, that's the example, right?
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to talk to Shorty Linard or something like that.
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: I think you're ugly or something like that. You're talking
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: about that or you're talking about, like, you're in a
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: relationship and the other person plays.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah, you got cheated on.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: She took your money and sent it to her ex-nigga
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: in prison.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're saying.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Or you was talking short and you called her. She
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: said she was asleep, but then you see her out
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: at the club.
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. So, okay, that's going. So I.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: Definitely haven't had that except where I had my girlfriend.
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: She did tell me one time that she did sleep
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: with her ex. But I didn't see it. So I'm
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: not the type of person, I'm not looking in the phone.
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing that. We might as well not be
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: together because if I feel that you're cheating, then why am.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: I with you?
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: So if you cheat, then I'm an idiot for still
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: being in a relationship with you because I already knew what.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: Time it was.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: So wait, she told you she fucked you while y'all
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: was together?
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: What prompted that?
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: See, this was a while ago. Because I haven't been
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: a person that was in a lot of relationships. So
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: at the time, she told me, I don't know how
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: we even got into talking about it, but yeah, she
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: told me she had plenty of one time.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: But I ain't got.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Damn, that was crazy, because women, we typically don't tell
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: on ourselves.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to take it to the grave. Period. Yeah,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Lie, women, lie. Okay, don't never tell these niggas the truth,
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: and I don't care who.
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: So you broke up with her after that, did you?
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: Did I? Uh.
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: We might have still been talking. I think I really
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: liked her. That stayed for a little bit. It's all right, man.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: So, you know, you got to look at it as
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: if you did your thing, she did her thing. Okay.
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, so it was payback.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Me?
• 56:38
