  Speaker 1: great songs already. I actually love your music, so I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: can't complain sort of failed right, like right when the

• 1:43
  Speaker 1: was bad. I got sued for that record, right. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That was the other thing too, because I had like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a feeling seemed like seem like I heard first of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all the hook I've already heard before because that was
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: back in the day. But I was like, well, maybe
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they'll let me ride, you know, Jamie trying with around
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: then it's man, somebody else had already sung it and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it was crazy. It's like I said, man, maybe I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: thought it was another person because I heard an echo
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and another studio, but you know how it goes. And
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: we didn't want to disrespect the guy and everything like
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that said, we'll let that go anyway, cut to the
• 2:16

• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it's this kid, Casey and Orlando, who's a fantastic artist
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and fantastic matter. And what's special about this is he
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sort of he sort of took a step back on
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: doing his album, uh, to facilitate on my album because
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you know how this man, you know, we all been
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in this game for so long. So if you if
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you do a song and you're successful or whatever like that,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it actually makes it tougher to reinvent yourself. So, uh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it's called you Chase Me, which is crazy. That's what we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we was just talking about. You know. It's like, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the song is sort of like about you know, meeting
• 2:49

• 2:52
  Speaker 1: change me now. I want to you know, kick it

  Speaker 1: hold on the woman that changed you? Katie Holmes, Well
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what happened? No, it's going on, man, Hello, And before
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we play that, I gotta say your daughter's absolutely beautiful
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for you. Oh man, you know what, it's crazy. My
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: daughter just turned twenty one. She was in London, yoke.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. She had an incredible birthday party. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to see that she's twenty one now is just not
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, we you know, we're doing shots together. It
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was crazy. What happened to the Pretty Young Thing record?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I thought you had a record, Pretty Young Thing produced
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: by Muscle. Yeah. Yeah, you know what, man? Sometimes hey man, look,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes the vibe in the studio and the weed
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and everything make you take that thing is real, the thing,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and then at a while the it ain't. It Just
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: don't it make you know why you should have got
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: tied on it? You know what. Look man, I'm gonna
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: tell you it's tough, bro. It's like, you know, this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: music game is so tough. It's like if you do
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: something too young or too you know, to gimmicky along
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with the same sort of thing. It just doesn't play,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and that's that's the way it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: should be. It's like, you know, that's why I stay
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: grinding on it until I until I find it. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy about the whole body of the album.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And some of those records it was just like tests.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't necessarily task to test. But I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: think the bars were about to drop right now. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: really feel good about them. That's true because you're old
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: enough when you do a record like pretty Young Thing,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you kind of come off as kind of creepy. Yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah it, dude. I mean, man, you can't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you put it to putty, this way to putty.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: My my daughter be like, dad, don't don't. Don't get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: too young on us now, Like I because I had
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: on some young shoes one time and she was like, Yo,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what's with them shoes? This is what the kids want?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: She said, Dad, you got old, you got civil rights feet.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: You can't. You can't win a type of shoes, dad.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And it's true because sometimes I see some of my
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: homies to be out of this my age. But we're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: still trying to you know, we're still up in the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: club game. The shoe game be wrong. I'm like, especially
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: them shoes that have all of them, the spikes on them,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the buckles and zippers. Yeah, man, I look dog, the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: shoes I had on if somebody smoked me into getting them,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: like your fox dash, and then it looked like I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: had on some ice skates and some click I'm playing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a football game on an ice skating ring. So I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was like, listen, I'm done with that. So she keeps
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: me a perspective on what to do. Now, jam you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: talk about letting the stuff go. Now, why you just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: don't go ball then? Because you be keeping that young headline?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know? But but see that's the thing though, it's Hollywood,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: so I gotta do that. Okay, Okay, my head, My
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: head ain't built like that. What is that, m planta?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: What do you how do you do? No? No, that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: just that's just flotting. He'sagne. Now you want to make
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: up the things? I see that, Yeah, but I don't know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I don't wear make up. But I want them headline
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I want them headline tips. If you got them now,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: all the great's got them headlines, you know, Lebron Fox
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you know? Now? Why why back to music man what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you're doing so good with the movies and acting. Why
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: music again, That's what I wanted to do in the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: first place. It's like when I came when I came
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: out here, like I actually when I got on The
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Living Color, it was like, you know, the comedy sort
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of hit first, and I feel like, you know, like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I laid down like tracks in comedy, like no one
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: could every race. But then it was like, how do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I been back to the music. I remember being on
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The Living Color dressed as wand that Teddy Riley is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: there and it's a brand new you know, I'm just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on the show for the first time, so he don't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: really know who I am. So I went and grab
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: my cassette tape at that time, and I'm running down
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the hallway because Teddy Riley's getting ready to leave. I'm like, yo, man,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I want you to I do music. He looked at
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: me like impossible, and I was like, oh snap. So
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I had to sort of fight through all of that,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: fight through all the comedy, fight through all the acting,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and get back to what I wanted to do in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the first place. And then you know, I run into
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this cat name Kanye West, who's at my crib and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one of my house parties, and that the party was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like at that time, it was pub and it was
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: jay Z. It was real, all these cats, and he said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I got the song called slow Jams I want you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to sing on. And then that's what changed everything, because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: people who have viewed me as just the comedian or
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: whatever you they now see me as a singer. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: then you know, once the music start to drop, I said, oh,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: this is where I want to be in the first place.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And now I'm in a comfortable position where I can drop.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't take the chances with it. You
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Are you never gonna went back
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to Kanye and did anything? I mean, you know, like this,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this is what I also do too. It's like sometimes
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, like I don't know when you're doing so much.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just it ain't the right fit, you know
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But but hopefully hopefully, I mean, because
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I texted Man. You know, I'll be like, Yo,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what's up? Whatever? You know? I know you're in Paris.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: What movie you got coming through the pipeline? Anything we
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: should be looking out for. I'll be honest with you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure everything out right now. But I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: just went in with paramount with with with Mike Tyson.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Some gonna do the Mike Tyson story last year that
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you were signing on the play Mike Tyson. Listen man
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to be in the same room pitching Mike Tyson a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: pair of my Mike Tyson on one side, I'm on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the other side and doing Mike Tyson at the same
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: time and Martin Scorsese at the ham. So this will
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be the first boxing movie that Martin Scorsese has done
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: since Raging Bull. So that's the thing that you sort
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of like, Okay, okay, that's the one that's and this
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is gonna be Mike Tyson, you know, Like I called
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Mike like a year ago. I was like, Mike heysan

  Speaker 1: all praised it to our live. I'm happy. My brother said,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: why we call that? We call I don't have any
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: money anymore And I said, why do you say that?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He said, because no one, no one can take anything
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: from me anymore. I'm just so happy to know of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: U's trying to take anything from me. And I said,
• 8:40

• 8:43
  Speaker 1: eighteen years old had sixty million dollars in his pocket
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and everybody's trying to get it. And now the grown
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: guy who sits back and reflects on the whole thing

  Speaker 1: of like the money was the downfall. So and it's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: not about Mike being you know, Mike Tyler is not
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that flamboyant. It's him ordering his food, it's him talking
