7:59
Speaker 1: for people who don't know who you are what you do, man,
8:03
Speaker 1: give us a breakdown or basically, watch Homi Kwan. So
8:07
Speaker 1: should I be looking at anything, just look at me.
8:09
Speaker 1: Watch Homi Kwan, comedian from Wats, California. I do hood
8:14
Speaker 1: type of comedy. I bring a sense of authentic goodness,
8:21
Speaker 1: if that's even the word. I tell hood stories and
8:26
Speaker 1: in an authentic way and provide people from the hood
8:30
Speaker 1: opportunities to get a chance at being a part of
8:33
Speaker 1: Hollywood and doing films and stuff. And you started as
8:35
Speaker 1: an artist, right, yeah, I was doing music and stuff first,
8:38
Speaker 1: So what you're you know, it's obviously a hard industry
8:42
Speaker 1: to make it and as an artist, what what made
8:44
Speaker 1: you kind of pivot and go more full in on
8:47
Speaker 1: the content and the comedy. It was a video one day,
8:52
Speaker 1: like when Instagram first started now videos, when they first
8:54
Speaker 1: started doing videos, it was fifteen seconds. I was just like,
8:57
Speaker 1: just on some funny shit. I was like, uh, this
9:00
Speaker 1: member's answer to the party, and it was me doing
9:01
Speaker 1: a dance called the Hoover Stump. I did that and
9:03
Speaker 1: went viral and then the follow started coming in and
9:06
Speaker 1: so I was like, ooh, I always wanted to get
9:08
Speaker 1: into acting, so this might be that avenue. So I
9:11
Speaker 1: started doing that and then once I started doing the
9:13
Speaker 1: comedy stuff because my personality and who I am is
9:16
Speaker 1: just goofy, So started doing that shit and then it
9:20
Speaker 1: just blew up. So then when I started to try
9:22
Speaker 1: to put out music, it was hard for the newer
9:25
Speaker 1: fans to gravitate too, because they're like, oh, you comedy right, right,
9:29
Speaker 1: So I started doing celebrity impression so they can still
9:32
Speaker 1: hear my bars, but hear it from a different person
9:35
Speaker 1: that'd be like, oh this sit hard. So the acting
9:38
Speaker 1: shit just it just blew up, so the music kind
9:40
Speaker 1: of fell in the background. I think it's dope because,
9:44
Speaker 1: like you said, like what you do I think is
9:47
Speaker 1: very is authentic, but it's also kind of like for
9:50
Speaker 1: anybody who's not from LA it's also like low key educational. Yeah. Yeah,
9:54
Speaker 1: I'm like the hood learners God, and I am the
9:58
Speaker 1: hood pass if you will. Yeah, I feel like you
10:01
Speaker 1: kind of like touch on so many like things that
10:04
Speaker 1: nobody would even think about if they because you know,
10:07
Speaker 1: we live in LA. Yeah, most people ain't from here
10:11
Speaker 1: who are within this industry, this music industry, this entertainment industry.
10:15
Speaker 1: A lot of transplants, but a lot of people move
10:17
Speaker 1: like don't really know how to move around out here.
10:19
Speaker 1: For me, my hood pass was DJ Head West Coast.
10:22
Speaker 1: DJ Head kind of had to put me on the Hey, look,
10:25
Speaker 1: don't wear this hat. This DJ. I remember one night
10:28
Speaker 1: at the radio station had broke down every gang beef
10:33
Speaker 1: in LA because I had no fucking idea that this
10:36
Speaker 1: gang beats with this gang. And there's a reason why
10:38
Speaker 1: you never hear this artist work with this artist. And
10:41
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh shit, the politics. It's crazy.
10:44
Speaker 1: I always knew there was politics, but I didn't know that, like,
10:47
Speaker 1: you know, crypt sets beef with cripsets some places, and
10:51
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what the fuck is going on? So,
10:54
Speaker 1: but I feel like you kind of like are like
10:56
Speaker 1: a very like easily digestible way of like kind of
11:00
Speaker 1: just understanding LA culture a bit more. Thank you. I
11:03
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah. Was that kind of like the goal
11:05
Speaker 1: for you to kind of because you know, people always
11:08
Speaker 1: think Hollywood and the Valley is LA, but it's not.
11:11
Speaker 1: It's not, it's not at all. Was that your kind
11:14
Speaker 1: of goal though, Like, I want to be funny, but
11:15
Speaker 1: I also want to make sure like I kind of
11:17
Speaker 1: shine a light on like the culture of the city. Yeah, honestly, bro,
11:23
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a voice for people that come
11:27
Speaker 1: from where I come from, because we don't really have
11:29
Speaker 1: a voice too much. We had a voice with John Singleton,
11:33
Speaker 1: ice Que, DJ Pool, rec In Peace, f Gary Gray,
11:38
Speaker 1: you know, filmmakers like that, and those movies were so dope.
11:44
Speaker 1: They told our story, but it still needed to be
11:47
Speaker 1: dugging a little deeper. So what I always valued was
11:52
Speaker 1: just us. I love who we are. So I was like, okay,
11:55
Speaker 1: and all these movies and all these films that have
11:56
Speaker 1: people from other places portraying us, why aren't we portraying us?
12:01
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna provide these opportunities
12:03
Speaker 1: for people that look like me, that come from where
12:05
Speaker 1: I come from, these opportunities to show them we capable
12:08
Speaker 1: of doing this, doing the shit too. So I just
12:11
Speaker 1: took pride in like us, like I love us so much,
12:14
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna show. I'm gonna show the fun side,
12:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show the ignorance, I'm gonna show everything. I'm
12:18
Speaker 1: gonna put everything in the video, and that gives you whatever,
12:22
Speaker 1: like thought, like, whatever thoughts you get off of the video.
12:25
Speaker 1: I leave it open for you to discuss whatever you want.
12:27
Speaker 1: But I'm showing everything as a whole to get you
12:30
Speaker 1: to laugh, get you to heal through the pain, but
12:32
Speaker 1: also to see the ignorance that we continue to put
12:34
Speaker 1: out to show you like look at yourself, you know
12:36
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, and then you also kind of
12:38
Speaker 1: just like you said, you bring in people from from LA,
12:41
Speaker 1: like you know, you'll collaborate with Duno or like certain
12:43
Speaker 1: people who are who are you know, you'll share your
12:45
Speaker 1: platform with other LA personalities. So I think that's dope, man.
12:49
Speaker 1: Thank you talk about Growing Up in LA, which is
12:53
Speaker 1: like for people who don't know, it's like a TV
12:55
Speaker 1: show that you that you're behind, that it skits. Yeah.
13:01
Speaker 1: How many episodes did you do? I did five this
13:03
Speaker 1: season five self produced. Yeah. Yeah, So give us like
13:08
Speaker 1: a rundown of growing Up in LA because that's on
13:10
Speaker 1: your YouTube channel, right, Yeah, so on YouTube channel. Growing
13:13
Speaker 1: Up in LA is the sketch comedy show I created
13:16
Speaker 1: with the help of my lady, Mike Williams. She she
13:22
Speaker 1: helped me figure out the concept and basically I wanted
13:28
Speaker 1: to do a sketch show like All my Life about
13:31
Speaker 1: my experience growing up in LA, but also tie in
13:33
Speaker 1: the things that inspired me as a kid. So she
13:37
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, Boom, we're gonna get together. Look just
13:41
Speaker 1: how you write this. So I structured it and I
13:44
Speaker 1: do skits where it consisted of me sitting on the
13:47
Speaker 1: couch looking at TV and I'm reenacting the shit on
13:49
Speaker 1: TV like cops, cheaters, shit like that, and it's just
13:52
Speaker 1: a variety of sketch show like all the shit I
13:54
Speaker 1: watched Robert Townsend's uh uh what was the name of
14:00
Speaker 1: the show, Robert Townsen's Partners in Crime, the Dave Chappelle Show,
14:06
Speaker 1: Dwayne's Brother, Jamie Fox show, Martin all that. So I
14:10
Speaker 1: incorporated all those things into this sketch show, which allowed
14:14
Speaker 1: you to see the black and brown community getting together.
14:17
Speaker 1: And then you see like these different situations and these
14:20
Speaker 1: different characters, and it's just like something dope for the city,
14:23
Speaker 1: just really la base. But you get the hints of
14:26
Speaker 1: different spots when you can watch certain things and they're like, ooh, shit,
14:29
Speaker 1: that resonates with where I'm from. It's also impressive because,
14:32
Speaker 1: like you know, I think in twenty twenty two or
14:35
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, when you first put the episodes out,
14:37
Speaker 1: like you feel like a lot of content creators traditionally
14:42
Speaker 1: will depend on a machine or a developmental deal or
14:48
Speaker 1: something to do what you did. Yeah, when now we
14:50
Speaker 1: have our own plot like YouTube, Like you know what
14:52
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like there's really no excuse. If you got
14:56
Speaker 1: an idea, you put your head down, save your money,
15:00
Speaker 1: figure it out, Like, yeah, you should be able to
15:01
Speaker 1: execute your ideas. Like was it for you? Was it
15:05
Speaker 1: like did you try to shop that idea around before
15:08
Speaker 1: you just decided to put it out or were you like,
15:10
Speaker 1: let me let me put it out first, Yeah, and
15:12
Speaker 1: then garner interest and Yeah. My whole thing was I
15:15
Speaker 1: wanted to do it myself, Like with the show producing myself,
15:19
Speaker 1: I've written it myself, I got to cast myself everything.
15:22
Speaker 1: I more so was like I'm not waiting for nobody
15:24
Speaker 1: give me an opportunity. I'm gonna give myself an opportunity
15:27
Speaker 1: because a lot of times we tend to wait on
15:29
Speaker 1: other people to throw in that life rap instead of
15:32
Speaker 1: jumping out in the ocean and swimming yourself figuring it out.
15:35
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm gonna do the show my
15:37
Speaker 1: damn self, and if it blows up that way, it
15:40
Speaker 1: goes that way. But with me doing it myself, I'm
15:42
Speaker 1: gonna learn the importance of independence and figuring it out
15:45
Speaker 1: on my own. So I'm not at a cross road
15:47
Speaker 1: to if this shit don't work, I don't know how
15:49
Speaker 1: to do this. I'm gonna do this now and we're
15:51
Speaker 1: gonna see what happens. What were some of the lessons
15:54
Speaker 1: that likes because obviously doing something for the first time,
15:57
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, okay, shit, yeah, the next season,
16:00
Speaker 1: we gotta do this different over some of the things
16:03
Speaker 1: that you either made mistakes on or that you learned
16:05
Speaker 1: from the first season that you know, bros. Hiring a
16:09
Speaker 1: better crew, like not like that, Like I got love
16:13
Speaker 1: for the crew I did have, but I feel like
16:17
Speaker 1: they didn't execute the vision will and that was that
16:21
Speaker 1: was is the reason why we only had five episodes
16:23
Speaker 1: because it was just like a battle of power. And
16:27
Speaker 1: the thing is, bro, we are here to work together.
16:32
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I give you instruction. You
16:34
Speaker 1: can throw your opinions cool. I will take that and
16:38
Speaker 1: if I if I can apply it, I will apply it.
16:40
Speaker 1: But if I'm writing this and I'm doing this, like
16:44
Speaker 1: trust me and my vision and I'm letting you know
16:46
Speaker 1: how it should go. So that making sure everything is
16:50
Speaker 1: taken care of for a sound and all that shit,
16:52
Speaker 1: because that shit really matters, does matter. The right little
16:56
Speaker 1: things that you don't even think about are things like
17:00
Speaker 1: your shit look like official or makes it look like
17:02
Speaker 1: yeah so that and and really, uh, what was another
17:09
Speaker 1: thing that I learned from the show that was it
17:14
Speaker 1: just a production because everything else was cool because it
17:16
Speaker 1: was like all people that I worked with before, So
17:18
Speaker 1: everybody else was easy and fine to do it, But
17:20
Speaker 1: it was just hiring the right crew. The small things
17:23
Speaker 1: really does matter, especially if it's like your first thing
17:26
Speaker 1: coming out with that can be the the rids or
17:29
Speaker 1: the fall of who you are, because if it's like
17:32
Speaker 1: super shitty during the first go around, it makes people
17:35
Speaker 1: kind of hesitant to like, I don't know that's real.
17:38
Speaker 1: That's real. Just taking care of those small details, sound,
17:42
Speaker 1: the color, the right editing, like all that shit really
17:46
Speaker 1: means a lot for people who come to LA, give
17:52
Speaker 1: me a give me the parameters of where the real
17:55
Speaker 1: LA starts, because most people will be in fucking Melrose
17:58
Speaker 1: getting robbed these days because they're walking around with jewelry
18:01
Speaker 1: and it's hot out here, But like where where is
18:04
Speaker 1: like you know, where would you suggest the people actually
18:09
Speaker 1: tap in if they really want to get into like
18:11
Speaker 1: actual real l A culture, not just the Melrose and
18:14
Speaker 1: fair Fast you got, you gotta hit the other side
18:16
Speaker 1: of Pico like all like all the hood spots. Man
18:20
Speaker 1: fucking I says, it's just the it's really the other
18:28
Speaker 1: side of peakle I say, like, Nigga, once you cross,
18:30
Speaker 1: like go to the east side and that's basically like
18:35
Speaker 1: like uh, you know south Central Watts Uh, like the
18:42
Speaker 1: west side, not going towards like you know, Hollywood and all.
18:45
Speaker 1: That's that's the cute ship. Once you go to the
18:49
Speaker 1: hood to like where you seeing food spots like TAM's,
18:52

18:58
Speaker 1: that's the hood ship. You Is it frustrating being an
19:04
Speaker 1: LA native? Yeah, Like I feel like it's like I'm
19:06
Speaker 1: talking to figure ot how to explain this because I'm like,
19:08
Speaker 1: I just feel like LA is so like I don't
19:10
Speaker 1: want to miss no parts. People come here and they
19:13
Speaker 1: pillage what the opportunities are that the city gives them,
19:16
Speaker 1: but then they'll go on Twitter and bash La like nah,
19:20
Speaker 1: that's like that shit happens so much. Yeah, And he's like, yo,
19:23
Speaker 1: like the audacity of motherfuckers come here like the fucking
19:26
Speaker 1: townhouse and fucking Woodland Hills. Yeah, and then ship on
19:29
Speaker 1: the whole shit on LA. Yeah, so you live in
19:32
Speaker 1: Woodland Hills exactly. You're not in the hood part. But
19:34
Speaker 1: the thing is now when you come to this spot,
19:36
Speaker 1: now you got to watch your ass. Yeah, because you're
19:38
Speaker 1: running everybody. You can't do that. Like you have to
19:42
Speaker 1: know in LA. You got to know how to speak.
19:45
Speaker 1: You gotta know what words not to say and different
19:47
Speaker 1: like different ship like that. It's like different words that

20:17
Speaker 1: but it's like you can kind of get away with
20:19
Speaker 1: it because that's not something that you can expect everybody

Speaker 1: to know. But like the certain shit like certain pastries
20:25

23:24
Speaker 1: just for like wild'n Out and the careers that helped
23:28
Speaker 1: start and just I look up to Nick Cannon and
23:31

23:36
Speaker 1: how did that initially happen? Basically? Uh, I was going
23:41
Speaker 1: through like a bed relationship, like I said all the time,
23:44
Speaker 1: and I was asking God for a sign. When I
23:46
Speaker 1: got on my Instagram, I see Nickkinnon Like, yo, boy, Nick,

24:23
Speaker 1: me shit. Give me the audition. Then I'll show you why,
24:25
Speaker 1: because I don't believe in nobody just giving me something
24:30
Speaker 1: like that. Just here, yo, You'd rather earn it because
24:33
Speaker 1: I want to know the importance of having this versus

24:39
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I want to I want
24:41
Speaker 1: to work my way to to understand why I got this.
24:44
Speaker 1: So they was like, all right, do an audition tape.
24:48
Speaker 1: Like what you mean doing audition tape? Like, I don't

25:16
Speaker 1: I deserved it, not because he's just doing the favor,
25:18
Speaker 1: but I deserved it. And the rest is history. As
25:21
Speaker 1: I got there being like somebody who's creating so much
25:25
Speaker 1: dope content doing your own independent TV show, have like
25:29
Speaker 1: any of like the Hollywood scene or industry reached out
25:32
Speaker 1: to maybe have you help write or do any sort
25:35
Speaker 1: of acting or anything. Has that. No, I've gotten some
25:38
Speaker 1: acting opportunities, and you know, I was able to low
25:45
Speaker 1: key like I don't want to say it like that,
25:47
Speaker 1: but I was able to like chat with like Issa's
25:49
Speaker 1: team's amazing. I wanted to like meet her. I was
25:53
Speaker 1: an insecure too, but I didn't get a chance to

26:31
Speaker 1: feels like almost like a like a commercial version of
26:36
Speaker 1: like what you do. I guess it's like if you
26:38
Speaker 1: watch that show and you're in Houston or something, you
26:40
Speaker 1: kind of get a real taste of like LA culture
26:44
Speaker 1: and what it's like to be like a young woman
26:46
Speaker 1: in La. And you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah,
26:49

Speaker 1: So if you need to put music in your ship,
30:20
Speaker 1: just screen record, turn off the turn off the notifications,
30:23
Speaker 1: screen record that motherfucker straight through, rip the audio from

Speaker 1: that layering on the video. And you do all that
30:29
Speaker 1: on your phone and upload it a YouTube, all on
30:31
Speaker 1: my phone. Wow, Like I'm I'm old school, bro. Even
30:35
Speaker 1: when I wrap, I've got notebooks, like I like the
30:39
Speaker 1: value of using my hands, like being hands on. You
30:42
Speaker 1: like all your own ship. You edit all my own ship.
30:45
Speaker 1: I'll be up all night editing on my ship. And
30:46
Speaker 1: if I need to do a voice recording, I go
30:48
Speaker 1: on my closet, close the door, record like that. It's
30:50
Speaker 1: crazy because a lot of people will use the excuse, well,
30:53
Speaker 1: I don't have cameras, cameras are expensive, or camera one
30:56
Speaker 1: who can edit, or I don't learn it. My MacBook does,
31:00
Speaker 1: can't handle the footage. I don't have it. Man, Look
31:03
Speaker 1: if you're doing it all on your phone, no excuse.
31:06
Speaker 1: There's no excuse, bro. I'm telling you, you know how
31:08
Speaker 1: many times my fucking stories be so full in this phone.
31:11
Speaker 1: I got to delete everything out of my phone, pictures,
31:13
Speaker 1: videos of like family shit. I'll be uploading shit to
31:16
Speaker 1: dropbox now. But like, no excuse, my phone and crashed
31:20
Speaker 1: and blacked out because I edited so much and I
31:22
Speaker 1: had too much footage. But I believe in myself that
31:24
Speaker 1: much that I'm not gonna give myself an excuse not
31:27
Speaker 1: to be great. I'm not gonna say, oh, it's this
31:30
Speaker 1: person fault. I don't have this, I don't have that. No,
31:32
Speaker 1: you build that shit up and then the team comes
31:34
Speaker 1: as you build. The thing about it is you have
31:37
Speaker 1: to learn something in order to to to get somewhere.
31:41
Speaker 1: You have to go through those punches. If you don't
31:44
Speaker 1: take that hard route, when you make it and shit crumble,
31:46
Speaker 1: you don't know how to pick those pieces back up.
31:48
Speaker 1: But once you learn how to get it from where
31:51
Speaker 1: you are at Nigga, you straight. It is not just
31:53
Speaker 1: like risk people. When rik people lose all their money,
31:57
Speaker 1: they don't know what to do because they don't know
31:58
Speaker 1: how to get it. Once you know how to get it,
32:00
Speaker 1: you know you're straight no matter what happens. It's a
32:02
Speaker 1: one man army over here. Come on, that's big. Come on.
32:05
Speaker 1: The other thing too, is consistency, right, Like I always
32:07
Speaker 1: tell people, like, if you start something, a lot of
32:09
Speaker 1: people get discouraged because maybe the first two or three,
32:12
Speaker 1: four or five even ten things they do might not
32:14
Speaker 1: set the fucking world on fire. But it's like, yo,
32:16
Speaker 1: if you believe in yourself, if it's good, it's gotta
32:20
Speaker 1: be good. Yeah. Because there's rappers who we know probably
32:22
Speaker 1: been wrapping for twenty fucking years, it's like, get ahead.
32:25
Speaker 1: Your shit is trash, yeah, yeah, rus. But like if
32:28
Speaker 1: your shit is good, if you're dope, if you're doing
32:30
Speaker 1: quality shit, whatever you're doing music, content, whatever, podcast, as
32:35
Speaker 1: long as you're consistent, it's gonna eventually it's gonna work
32:40
Speaker 1: for you. You just have to just not get derailed
32:43
Speaker 1: by you know that's shit it because like it is discouraging,
32:50
Speaker 1: but you gotta think about it. Not everybody is gonna
32:54
Speaker 1: like what you do, and there's gonna be some people
32:57
Speaker 1: that do, So you do it for those, like it's
32:59
Speaker 1: better for you to do it from those core fans
33:02
Speaker 1: that fuck with you. Because you know, for a fact,
33:04
Speaker 1: if I do a show, if I do anything, these
33:06
Speaker 1: are the core people that I know that's gonna buy this.
33:07

Speaker 1: live in that. You feel me like, take your time,
33:41
Speaker 1: but go for it and then stay consistent on your ship.
33:44
Speaker 1: A lot of things that people don't understand is like
33:47
Speaker 1: hard work does be talent. This is the fucking truth. Man,
33:51
Speaker 1: Like nigga, if you work hard at fuck, you can
33:54
Speaker 1: get somewhere. It's a person that's funnier than me that's
33:57
Speaker 1: in the hood. The only difference is, bro, don't have
34:00
Speaker 1: that that that that passing, that drive to make it happen.
34:04
Speaker 1: Ye know what I'm saying. It's like people that we
34:06
Speaker 1: know that are trash, that are trash and not to
34:09
Speaker 1: disrespect nobody, but you know certain things are trash and
34:12
Speaker 1: they make it because what they work hard. No excuses
34:16
Speaker 1: like you gotta have hard work, bro, Yeah, No, hard
34:18
Speaker 1: work beats talent every every time. Man, Come on, man,
34:21
Speaker 1: I mean we know so many I know so many
34:22
Speaker 1: of my homies who are like amazing athletes and could
34:26
Speaker 1: have been in the league. Yeah, but they didn't put
34:28
Speaker 1: the work in. They didn't take the ship serious. They
34:30
Speaker 1: was fucking bitches. Are they was partying or they were
34:32
Speaker 1: doing all that? I was like, bro, eliminate that. Yeah,
34:35
Speaker 1: now you're in the Drew League, which is a nice
34:37
Speaker 1: place to be. But like you know what I mean,
34:42
Speaker 1: what is what's next for you? Man? Everything under the sun? Movies,
34:47
Speaker 1: TV shows? What are you working on right now? Like?
34:51
Speaker 1: Are you working on season two of the show? Yep?
34:54
Speaker 1: I'm working on season two? Growing up in La I'm
34:58
Speaker 1: working on directing like a few commercials for Pro Club.
35:03
Speaker 1: I'm just really just tapping in everything. I'm gonna record music,
35:08
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work on like some animation, cartoons and shit
35:10
Speaker 1: like just I'm doing everything. As long as I got
35:14
Speaker 1: feeling in my hands and my legs, I'm doing it all. Bro,
35:18
Speaker 1: are you gonna do the music thing from a serious
35:21
Speaker 1: standpoint or you need to try to mix in some
35:23
Speaker 1: of the comedy I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do both.
35:26
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it from a serious standpoint, and I
35:28
Speaker 1: also gonna give people what they like as far as
35:30
Speaker 1: me because one thing I got an incredible ear for
35:33
Speaker 1: creating those artists collapse of who I want to hear
35:35
Speaker 1: on the song when I do the celebrity impressions. So
35:38
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them that, but I'm going to give
35:40
Speaker 1: them who I am, you know, as a music artist.
35:43
Speaker 1: But I'm not doing it to use that to be
35:47
Speaker 1: in the forefront. I'm doing it, putting it out because
35:49
Speaker 1: I care about it. So if you fuck with it,
35:51
Speaker 1: you fuck with it. It's cool. If you don't, I'm
35:53
Speaker 1: not tripping because I'm doing it for me. I'm not
35:54
Speaker 1: doing it for you, you know what I'm saying. So
35:56
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just do everything that God put me on
35:58
Speaker 1: this earth to do. I feel like videos would be crazy.
36:01
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. I feel like if you write somebody,
36:04
Speaker 1: I've just thinking like nobody has done and I'm not
36:08
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing you in terms of like music or content,
36:10
Speaker 1: but like if you think of like someone who's like
36:13
Speaker 1: comedically gifted in their mind, like Little Dicky, Yeah, like
36:18
Speaker 1: his fire, his visuals are literally broken because his videos
36:22
Speaker 1: were just so good and so creative. It's so funny. Yeah,
36:25
Speaker 1: Like I feel like there's like a lane where like
36:28
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's like a white Jewish guy and
36:30
Speaker 1: he's killed it. Yeah, Dave's funny as fuck. Yeah. I
36:33
Speaker 1: feel like if you kind of like did like your
36:35
Speaker 1: own version of that, but not like all the way
36:37
Speaker 1: you know, goofy, but like I feel like your videos
36:41
Speaker 1: could be crazy. No, thank you, bro, I'm working on that.
36:44
Speaker 1: A person that was was doing that in a sense
36:46
Speaker 1: was I think it was the weird Yakovic or something
36:49
Speaker 1: weird out weird yanked. Yeah, he was doing that shit.
36:52
Speaker 1: We were kids, yeah, and I was like, this dude
36:54
Speaker 1: is like funny as fuck, so like it was on Platinum,
36:56
Speaker 1: just remaking people ship like Gangster's parodic, all that is
37:01
Speaker 1: paradise like so much. It Like I'm gonna go crazy
37:04
Speaker 1: with some shit. I had did a few videos when
37:05
Speaker 1: I did Big Bank Remix. I saw a video to that,
37:09
Speaker 1: and I did YG's in the Dark, and I did
37:12
Speaker 1: like some other shit. So I'm gonna go crazy with
37:13
Speaker 1: the visuals and then I'm gonna figure out a way
37:16
Speaker 1: to like mix it with like some animation shit to
37:18
Speaker 1: give people like a dope ass feel. What is your
37:22
Speaker 1: take on like the national narrative of LA anytime I'm
37:27
Speaker 1: listening to like certain podcasts, they'll talk about, well, LA
37:31
Speaker 1: is like fucking like the wild wild West right now.
37:34
Speaker 1: It's like grand Theft Auto right now. You got certain
37:37
Speaker 1: people in the LA law enforcement going on TV said,
37:40
Speaker 1: don't come to LA. We can't protect you. Crime is up.
37:45
Speaker 1: What are your like, Like, what's your take on just
37:48
Speaker 1: kind of like the state of Los Angeles right now.
37:50
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it's like a half
37:53
Speaker 1: and half thing. I feel like the city is like
37:55
Speaker 1: hurting right now for whatever reason, we're hurting because it's
37:58
Speaker 1: a lot of like since this, you know, violence and
38:02
Speaker 1: crazy shit going on, and the reasons can be all
38:06
Speaker 1: sorts of things. But I'm like LA is not that
38:09
Speaker 1: shitty honestly, Like it has its bad parts and it
38:12
Speaker 1: have its bad moments, but you got so much telling
38:15
Speaker 1: out here. You got so much people that that that
38:16
Speaker 1: fuck with you. They be going to the wrong spots
38:18
Speaker 1: or taking these movies and really like mixing the shit up.
38:22
Speaker 1: It ain't all that bad, like all day every day,
38:25
Speaker 1: Like it's it's some cool shit today and a nigga
38:27
Speaker 1: might trip tomorrow and it's cool the next day. So
38:29
Speaker 1: it's just like it's just like I feel like, in
38:32
Speaker 1: a sense, I love my city, but LA is like
38:34
Speaker 1: kind of bipolar, Like it's bipolar, that's the best way
38:37
Speaker 1: to put it. But it is. It's not all bad,
38:40
Speaker 1: is what people are trying to make it seem to be.
38:41
Speaker 1: It's just certain areas you know you shouldn't fuck around with,
38:44
Speaker 1: like get your ass up out of there, like you
38:47
Speaker 1: you can't go there looking like a meal amongst a
38:50
Speaker 1: group of niggas that's hungry. Well, I think even in general,
38:53
Speaker 1: like it's pretty obvious right now that like if you're
38:58
Speaker 1: if you're walking in mails or your certain areas, like
39:01
Speaker 1: your shit snatched, So why the if you're walking over
39:04

39:10
Speaker 1: like you're asking like rob me and then motherfuckers are
39:13
Speaker 1: not doing this money challenge and it's like you're just
39:16

39:18
Speaker 1: liquidity on you. So if they run into you, oh yeah,
