• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: My little miss myth, I think, ended at acting.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think like it was like acting, and then.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: You didn't follow the later.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like you don't know any of the songs I've ever heard.

  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's sweet.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: What's the name of that album?
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Lost and fine.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, you don't know any of the songs I'm lost and fine.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: When you say ended at acting, that means you were never a music fit.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: You were a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big,

  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I will say it.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is the one thing I will say.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were the perfect ages to be Will Smith rap fans because Big Willie style when you listen back to it, you're like this is it's it's four kids
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is for children, but it's fun.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Pre-teens, maybe would hate to hear this.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: If he heard this, if he heard anyone saying that, listen, a big release style, do you think?
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Big release style was a multi-plat them album, for sure.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that we can't, nobody can deny the success of Will Smith, solo, rap, career as it pertains to Big Will is that one particular, and then will any of you don't pretty well?
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, any of them didn't do as well, obviously, but it did, okay, because Wild West was on it, and that's on was very hot.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Millennium has, like, Millennium has, like, little Kims on a track, and I want to say, now is this on a track, too, and you're just sort of like, why?
• 5:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: He got to butt up baby, bring it as smooth as that.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: He got, what was that about?
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's what he's talking about.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is,
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: the button.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: It samples.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not great.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, too.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, too.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, too.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, too, K was played a lot when it first came out.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: For sure.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Any.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, what?
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was because it had the New Year song.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so that was to have the New Year song.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was playing a lot.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm pretty sure he performed at Dick Clarks.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rock and New Year's Eve.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it was played a lot the music video was pretty was pretty fun yeah okay we are talking about the capitalist has nothing to do all right turn to the century that's how I got there turn of the millennium ninety no good it's fine wait he had more so many more albums after it's sorry
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Born to rain.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, because born to rain was pirate it.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yo, it was pirated.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's not the only person who didn't do well.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, I mean, it was pirated and then everybody heard it and we were all like, what am I going to?
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here's the final thing.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think the born to rain album, the song born to rain, the title track, it was like the first song.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so good, but it's literally a minute and 30 seconds.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so good.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so good, but it's so short.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's weird fortunate.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then the rest, you're just like, what?
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, his big song on that was Najahed, which was the song for Men in Black 2, which we all know was that good of a song.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right, Najahed, Black 2's coming.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: That remix though.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: The remix was better than the original.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Guys, we're talking about, Ghetto, a near-to-cost of film starring Tessa Thompson,
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I knew this is I knew this would be the case.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not 90% 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's good.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: 57% audience popcorn.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: Come on, audience.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, see I, that's what I thought.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because I read something that was the only one.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, what's the only one?
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, what's the only one?
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: 57%, and a 90% rotten to me, the difference between the critics and the audience here is honestly it makes a lot of sense because this movie is based on a play it's based on a play that was written in an 1891
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: this uh play has been adapted many times obviously on Broadway or different theaters blah blah blah.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was also made into a film before.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think there is a one of this film.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, are there are there a couple?
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there are.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was one like in 2016 also.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's one in 2016.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's this one?
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a British adaptation.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: where Clanda Jackson was nominated for an Academy Award in a film called us at a 1975.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: 1975.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Galinda?
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Galinda.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that, no, I think that's more just a wicked of it all, like your tour, for sure.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay, that's not what I heard.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't hear it.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's not her name.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I've seen him in like messed up.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was in death early.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a murder on that.

  [SPEAKER_01]: And murder on the original.

• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, there's no, there's no box offices came out on Amazon and is there anything else I, okay, I guess the basic plot of the play in the movie is that there's a woman a name had a gambler, but she's recently married, so her name's actually had a test and now and she's in a marriage that she doesn't quite like and she's holding a big party
• 11:48
