- 1:00Speaker 1: they definitely pop. Yeah, you know snapchat me that. You know.
- 1:06Speaker 1: It's an interesting world though, because I'm obviously I'm forty two,
- 1:09Speaker 1: so it's like, I can't imagine what it would be
- 1:11Speaker 1: like to be a fourteen year old with all of
- 1:13Speaker 1: this social media the way it's going down. Why haven't
- 1:15Speaker 1: you connected with the people in so long? Man? Seven years,
- 1:17Speaker 1: seven years right, did you even realize that I, you know,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I don't. I gotta tell you, I get anxiety about
- 1:24Speaker 1: just trying to meet the challenge of what what I
- 1:27Speaker 1: did before. And at the same time, I don't want
- 1:30Speaker 1: to play myself and try to look like I'm trying
- 1:32Speaker 1: to be in the moment. All the kids doing a
- 1:35Speaker 1: record future, Well no, and don't get into I know
- 1:38Speaker 1: and love all of those records like I mess. You know,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I listened to all of everything. I mean I listened
- 1:43Speaker 1: to some really dark, bunchy trap like all of that.
- 1:48Speaker 1: But right now, Uh, definitely, you know Yogatti, Definitely, um,
- 1:53Speaker 1: Travis Scott, I mean, you know I listened to I mean,
- 1:56Speaker 1: I've been in the club, so I know what these
- 1:58Speaker 1: songs are and I can I can sing with them.
- 2:00Speaker 1: But I always have to be really concerned about the
- 2:03Speaker 1: brand and like what I've done, you know, starting to
- 2:06Speaker 1: ninety six, and the fact that like my music is
- 2:08Speaker 1: which you go home to after you've been where you've been,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and hopefully it's with your family. Hopefully it's what you
- 2:15Speaker 1: do on Sunday mornings when you cook in, you get
- 2:17Speaker 1: married to it, you having kids to it, those types
- 2:20Speaker 1: of things. So I've got to think about those issues
- 2:23Speaker 1: as I see the ever changing situation out there in
- 2:26Speaker 1: the music world. Now, you talked about the pressure. Now,
- 2:28Speaker 1: is it a lot of pressure because you've always been
- 2:30Speaker 1: I say, left, like you never went with trendon. I
- 2:33Speaker 1: mean from your first album to your videos. Is there
- 2:36Speaker 1: pressure staying different and staying in that lane and staying
- 2:39Speaker 1: and being as big as those other songs and other albums. Yeah,
- 2:42Speaker 1: for sure, no doubt, I'm gonna I'm not gonna. I'm
- 2:44Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you about that. But that's part
- 2:46Speaker 1: of the fun, you know. The part of the challenge
- 2:48Speaker 1: of putting something together is saying to yourself, well, how
- 2:51Speaker 1: can I maintain relevancy but still be This is always
- 2:56Speaker 1: the greatest thing that I want is timelessness because so
- 2:58Speaker 1: many people come and go. There are certain rules to
- 3:01Speaker 1: the game about how do you how you do that?
- 3:03Speaker 1: And I think that if you stay true to the basics,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know of what we're trying to exemplify, which is
- 3:09Speaker 1: I don't get I'm not too detail oriented about shoes
- 3:13Speaker 1: and cars, and I mean I'm just kind of a
- 3:17Speaker 1: you know, we I just talk. I try to talk
- 3:20Speaker 1: about the bigger things in terms of just like you know, heartbreak, pain, betrayal,
- 3:25Speaker 1: want to get somebody back form, hurting you um, not
- 3:28Speaker 1: feeling like you're good enough. Those basic things or what
- 3:31Speaker 1: we always feel no matter what the watches that weekend,
- 3:35Speaker 1: no matter what the sneaker is, no matter what the
- 3:37Speaker 1: new car is where, whatever it is, those are the
- 3:39Speaker 1: things that we um are always connected by. Why did
- 3:43Speaker 1: you handle the fame when it came to these women? Man?
- 3:45Speaker 1: Because you're fresh shout making all these great R and
- 3:48Speaker 1: B music. I'm sure girls was throwing it at you.
- 3:50Speaker 1: A one hundred mile problem. Not only had the type
- 3:52Speaker 1: because he didn't had if you think about it, he'd
- 3:54Speaker 1: had to quote unquote earthy women Earth? What is earth?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Does that mean? Big? No, I'm good with big when
- 4:05Speaker 1: they want to wear as right, the monique type chicks
- 4:12Speaker 1: and I feel you well, look, I just think everything
- 4:15Speaker 1: is beautiful. And the weirdest thing for me is like
- 4:18Speaker 1: when I look out into the audience, because they'd be
- 4:20Speaker 1: bad ones out there, but they're the one that is
- 4:23Speaker 1: the shyest, the one that maybe feels like, you know,
- 4:26Speaker 1: I need to like, you know, lose a few here,
- 4:28Speaker 1: lose a few there. That's usually one I focus right
- 4:31Speaker 1: on because I feel like I was Maxwell. I just
- 4:37Speaker 1: want to make I just want to make them feel good, right,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, that's my
- 4:41Speaker 1: job on stage. I just want to make you feel good.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And everyone's gorgeous, everyone's sexy. But you know, for me,
- 4:48Speaker 1: I'm kind of a brain person. So it's like I
- 4:50Speaker 1: think that the situations that sort of like will come
- 4:53Speaker 1: to me on a personal level because I will be
- 4:56Speaker 1: more mental. I'm forty two. So it's like beauty. I
- 4:59Speaker 1: understand the beauty is amazing, but when you wake up
- 5:01Speaker 1: with someone after ten years, you don't even remember that
- 5:04Speaker 1: beauty part of it. You just know that you have
- 5:06Speaker 1: a friend. You just know that you know, you got
- 5:08Speaker 1: somebody that's holding you down, hopefully like with my like
- 5:11Speaker 1: my my friend and manager John, you have someone who's
- 5:14Speaker 1: raising your kids. That that's you know, the day and
- 5:17Speaker 1: and the day out of that, uh like all that
- 5:19Speaker 1: stuff fade, you know. Um so no, not raising kid.
- 5:24Speaker 1: You have some kids. Maybe maybe I do, I don't know,
- 5:27Speaker 1: but you ain't on the lest some of that legendary
- 5:29Speaker 1: sperm go. Man, Well you know what I have this
- 5:31Speaker 1: new Actually, you know it's interesting that you should bring
- 5:34Speaker 1: this up, sir, the legendary to have a marketing plan.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Instead of the albums, it'll be sperm. So I'm just
- 5:41Speaker 1: gonna market the sperm. You what if you're pregnant by Maxwell,
- 5:44Speaker 1: buy my new album. No, no, just work. I'm just
- 5:47Speaker 1: saying it's a new plan. I might put a single
- 5:51Speaker 1: with it, Okay, I might have a song to come up,
- 5:53Speaker 1: because usually the music kind of does that. So I figured,
- 5:56Speaker 1: let's just cut to the check into the chase and
- 5:58Speaker 1: just you know, you have many I hope, so man,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I keep a luck. We got more with Maxwell. When
- 6:04Speaker 1: we come back. It's the Breakfast Club for more happy holidays.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday
- 6:11Speaker 1: season from all of us here at the Breakfast Club,
- 6:13Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ nd Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
- 6:21Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got Maxwell
- 6:24Speaker 1: still in the building, like, I don't go. I've been
- 6:26Speaker 1: to one of your shows and I really I'm in
- 6:27Speaker 1: the two of year shows and my wife was like
- 6:30Speaker 1: the shows, I want my wife now. But when she
- 6:32Speaker 1: was my girl and stuff, and I realized I ain't
- 6:35Speaker 1: going to the Maxwell show because you showed them for
- 6:37Speaker 1: men at all. It's just a bunch of screaming women.
- 6:39Speaker 1: He ain't thinking about us. My wife goes with her French.
- 6:42Speaker 1: I am feel all funny, godad and get excited and
- 6:46Speaker 1: bring you out about what do you talk about? But
- 6:49Speaker 1: with my wife one time and I felt a little
- 6:50Speaker 1: funny because everybody's screaming. I'm sitting in the corner like
- 6:52Speaker 1: a suckers. I'm like, you know what, you bring your
- 6:54Speaker 1: girlfriend next time? When when he did fortunate, I went
- 6:56Speaker 1: to sleep because because I was like, it's like it's
- 6:59Speaker 1: like being It's like you girl, watch you watching scandal mpion.
- 7:03Speaker 1: It's basically like when you guys are watching the basketball
- 7:06Speaker 1: game or right football. Yeah, so this is like they're
- 7:08Speaker 1: revenge on you. Basically. That is the fact. I am
- 7:10Speaker 1: the revenge of all those times. But no mad Pelvic thrust.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I'm like, if you thrust one more time, hey man,
- 7:19Speaker 1: that ticket is expensive. I mean, I gotta put working,
- 7:24Speaker 1: but I'm just look, at the end of the day,
- 7:25Speaker 1: you get to take them home, yeah, and you get
- 7:28Speaker 1: to get situations that you probably never imagine what happened.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'm just I can't believe it's twenty years later, guys.
- 7:34Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say. I'm just and I'm so
- 7:37Speaker 1: happy that I'm kicking it with you because I hear
- 7:39Speaker 1: you guys in the morning. You guys are funny, real people. Uh,
- 7:44Speaker 1: you know, you're in situation sometimes because you gotta speak
- 7:47Speaker 1: about things and whatever. But you know, I just appreciate
- 7:49Speaker 1: all the support throughout the years, and I got you
- 7:52Speaker 1: on those dance records on this new Okay, how do
- 7:54Speaker 1: you feel about the term neo soul because people always
- 7:56Speaker 1: give you credit for being the start of that. I
- 7:58Speaker 1: can't say that because D'Angelo was released in ninety five.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I have to admit, with great respect to him that
- 8:07Speaker 1: he when he was set off, it really made everybody
- 8:11Speaker 1: at the label really understand because I was already done
- 8:13Speaker 1: with my album. I was just sitting on the sidelines.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I was on the bench. So you know, I give
- 8:17Speaker 1: credit to d for being the person to sort of
- 8:20Speaker 1: really get my record off the show. And then I
- 8:22Speaker 1: give a lot of credit to the radio stations that
- 8:25Speaker 1: just they played it without understanding what this was about,
- 8:29Speaker 1: because you know, I looked crazy. You know, I was
- 8:31Speaker 1: a big old hair and everything, and you know, having
- 8:34Speaker 1: all the weird West Indian type of thing, which that's
- 8:38Speaker 1: not a typical really for an R and B person.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Usually they're from the South. Usually they're like like with D'Angelo,
- 8:45Speaker 1: his story is so perfect, Like he's from Richmond, Virginia.
- 8:48Speaker 1: He played in the church, you know, Like my dad's
- 8:50Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico, my mom's from Haiti. Like I'm like
- 8:52Speaker 1: first generation from Brooklyn. Yeah, I didn't even feel black
- 8:56Speaker 1: enough really, So for me, it was like, man, I hope,
- 8:59Speaker 1: I hope my people like this music as much as
- 9:02Speaker 1: I love them. And you know, twenty years later, it's
- 9:05Speaker 1: just nice to know that that I was. I always
- 9:08Speaker 1: wondered why you didn't do many features, but there was
- 9:11Speaker 1: this pretty much no Maxwell features. Yeah. Yeah, you know, well,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not saying I'm better than anybody,
- 9:17Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people out there that I like,
- 9:19Speaker 1: but um, a lot of my choices are kind of
- 9:22Speaker 1: like family type choices. Like Nas was signed released ninety five.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I was there in ninety six, so y'all kind of
- 9:29Speaker 1: grew up together. Yeah, you know, I was shocked that
- 9:31Speaker 1: he'd even liked my music because you know, he's an OZ,
- 9:34Speaker 1: he's hip hop. My stuff is all smooth and we
- 9:38Speaker 1: developed a friendship and you know, we basically worked on
- 9:41Speaker 1: something once on one of his record Street Kings, and
- 9:45Speaker 1: then you know, we just did the Barkley thing together,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and you know, we have more plans to do more
- 9:49Speaker 1: business stuff together because we just we just get on.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And then Alicia Keys, who I knew at fifteen at
- 9:55Speaker 1: Columbia when she was signed there. She was kind of
- 9:58Speaker 1: like my special guest on a first album, so I
- 10:01Speaker 1: know her. I know Swizzler. I thought you were going
- 10:03Speaker 1: to do a joint with jay Z and j D
- 10:05Speaker 1: at one time. But during the Money and Anything video,
- 10:07Speaker 1: when he's sitting there, they're playing it in the background,
- 10:09Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is this is here it goes,
- 10:10Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's my that's my next move. I mean,
- 10:13Speaker 1: you know, if if Jay is listening, because we're friends
- 10:16Speaker 1: and I see him all the time, and I know
- 10:17Speaker 1: his wife, and um, I've heard of his wife. Yeah
- 10:20Speaker 1: his wife, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, his wife is cool.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn, He's from Brooklyn. You know, it'd be amazing.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I think he makes I think he is the Frank
- 10:29Speaker 1: Sinatra of hip hop because all of his beats, he
- 10:32Speaker 1: never plays himself. I mean, literally, And the craziest thing
- 10:36Speaker 1: is when Reasonable Doubt came out, he always just chooses
- 10:40Speaker 1: like the classic things and you can listen to all
- 10:42Speaker 1: those records forever, and that's rare. Man Like people don't
- 10:47Speaker 1: understand it's so much harder to make hip hop classic
- 10:51Speaker 1: because there's so many ways that you could really play
- 10:55Speaker 1: yourself with with like all the new trends and the
- 10:58Speaker 1: new things that people do Vold coder and whatever and
- 11:01Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You can dress like our Kelly Key well,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you see the like I guess I can't say nothing
- 11:09Speaker 1: bad about him. I mean, fortunate, we you know, I
- 11:12Speaker 1: never seen anybody's records unfortunate when I when I heard
- 11:15Speaker 1: it wasn't actually the first song, but when I heard,
- 11:18Speaker 1: I was like, because you just gotta pay respect to him,
- 11:20Speaker 1: because that guy can just I mean, he could just
- 11:24Speaker 1: pe out a song, you know, like yes, he could
- 11:28Speaker 1: say yes, pawell, Yes. Nobody even had to set you
- 11:31Speaker 1: up for that. One man was great. I was gonna
- 11:33Speaker 1: see all the fluid you could say, oh god, oh god,
- 11:37Speaker 1: please mister Kelly, please don't don't Yes Maxwell, Yes, I
- 11:42Speaker 1: didn't mean to do that. I was gonna say something else,
- 11:45Speaker 1: but I didn't want to say that because the current
- 11:48Speaker 1: made you say what you needed to say. Man, Well,
- 11:50Speaker 1: there you have it. It's Maxwell. It's the Breakfast Club, Gamani,
- 11:54Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. You want to get body is DJ

- 16:20Speaker 1: I looked. I was like, bro, you're not gonna take
- 16:22Speaker 1: the charge. He was like, bron brow. I couldn't believe it.
- 16:29Speaker 1: We rolled down here together that was and he was like, yeah, man.
- 16:35Speaker 1: So they moved about the room. I feel for my
- 16:37Speaker 1: life from Droe. I'm like, bro, I hired you to
- 16:40Speaker 1: come on the road to open up, like how you
- 16:42Speaker 1: feel for your life? Like that crazy? So we did that.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Time got out. It sent me back like I missed
- 16:47Speaker 1: like seven shows. I'm trying to currently make those up.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I got three daughters, you know what I mean. I'm
- 16:52Speaker 1: not and a son. I just had a son in
- 16:54Speaker 1: one year old. Like, I ain't trying to sit down
- 16:56Speaker 1: here either. Bro, my congratula. You got work. So you
- 17:05Speaker 1: think that's my baby? About it? You said, no comment,
- 17:10Speaker 1: no comment? I did, why not just say that what
- 17:14Speaker 1: if it's my baby? But if it is, he said,
- 17:16Speaker 1: you probably the only man that can prove that you're
- 17:18Speaker 1: a real woman. Then, because I thought that was like, man,
- 17:20Speaker 1: for that's a real woman, bro. I was not being
- 17:22Speaker 1: cooed with like that the right term. I would not
- 17:28Speaker 1: be associated with a man that looks like a woman.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It's a product right there. But you just gotta look
- 17:32Speaker 1: at it. So there is a chance that the baby
- 17:35Speaker 1: you just don't know yet. Baby, Dad, are you you
- 17:42Speaker 1: got the very dad? We got more with young Joe
- 17:44Speaker 1: when we come back. Keep a lock. This the Breakfast
- 17:46Speaker 1: Club co morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is dj
- 17:57Speaker 1: M v Angela Ye, Charlomne the guy, we are the
- 18:00Speaker 1: apter this club. Now young drow is in the building.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Did you think Tia was out of line for coming
- 18:05Speaker 1: that way? Black lives what Richard? Then the mother I
- 18:14Speaker 1: saw this. I clinched in embarrassment. I was like, no,
- 18:18Speaker 1: I don't like that. Yeah, I know that was not cool.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I mean I get it what he was saying, like,
- 18:24Speaker 1: you know what, he's successful, you know, and you know
- 18:27Speaker 1: a lot of people do stuff to you know, get
- 18:29Speaker 1: the police involved in. You know, you shouldn't stand behind
- 18:32Speaker 1: nobody in their room. But you're part of the stuff
- 18:36Speaker 1: that's happening. Like your skin tone, it shows it. You
- 18:39Speaker 1: feel me and we're not getting a good end of
- 18:42Speaker 1: the stick. You know. I think all lives matter for
- 18:44Speaker 1: that cause, because everybody was saying Tia was wrong for
- 18:46Speaker 1: publicly calling them out because they friends. He could have
- 18:48Speaker 1: called them on the phone. No, no, you can't say
- 18:52Speaker 1: that because he that was a public thing he did.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I agree, you answer him back public You know what
- 18:59Speaker 1: I mean? Somebody whooped your that's outside. Whoop the ass
- 19:01Speaker 1: back outside, I whoop your ass in the house, whoop yours? Yeah,
- 19:05Speaker 1: gotta whip you on world world stuff. N if your
- 19:10Speaker 1: plans say something stupid or something that don't but you
- 19:13Speaker 1: might call them and check them on the line and say,
- 19:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna check you. But I think you should reach
- 19:16Speaker 1: out of if that's yours, that's like reality. Stand up.
- 19:24Speaker 1: But how many times you said something crazy and I'm
- 19:26Speaker 1: sure ta call you? Was like, bro, But dro ain't
- 19:28Speaker 1: say nothing publicly that affects everybody. He may say something
- 19:31Speaker 1: that affect him, yeah, but not own my life. Yeah,
- 19:42Speaker 1: but I saw that. I get it, but I don't
- 19:45Speaker 1: get it. It's a lot of stuff going on right now.
- 19:48Speaker 1: I got children, and I wouldn't want my son to
- 19:51Speaker 1: be a Trayvon Martin. You know, I wouldn't want him
- 19:54Speaker 1: to do that. It was an Arizona juicon, you know
- 19:56Speaker 1: what I mean. Come on, man, you just gotta understand
- 19:58Speaker 1: that it's a lot of stuff going on people. When
- 20:00Speaker 1: I seen the guy get pulled over in um Charlotte
- 20:03Speaker 1: or whatever, that was sick. He was just walking back
- 20:06Speaker 1: to the truck. Bro. The thing you know, he was
- 20:07Speaker 1: laying on the ground. That matters. Bro. You feel mean,
- 20:11Speaker 1: if you're in a bubble, well you can't see that.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I want to be in your bubble. I want to
- 20:15Speaker 1: go live on Wayne Street because it's a lot of
- 20:18Speaker 1: stuff happening on my street. Was it one embarrassing moment
- 20:21Speaker 1: or something that you looked at you saw yourself like

- 20:25Speaker 1: thirty five days and then like for me not to
- 20:28Speaker 1: be then did nothing at that time. It was something
- 20:31Speaker 1: else going on. So I just had to I want
- 20:34Speaker 1: to go to heaven at the end of the day.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I want what did I look like last time I

- 22:23Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the God, we
- 22:26Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Well, we have to blur out
- 22:29Speaker 1: this lady's face because it's on Diddy's revolting did really
- 22:34Speaker 1: after reading the book doesn't want her? I think they clean?
- 22:37Speaker 1: After reading the book, I think they clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 22:40Speaker 1: say your phrase is not blurred? All right, starting nervous
- 22:46Speaker 1: at the time. First of all, this book, my voice
- 22:49Speaker 1: is amazing. Angie does not like compliments. But this book
- 22:52Speaker 1: is a testament book and a documentation of a classic
- 22:55Speaker 1: career in classic stories. And I love it. And he
- 23:00Speaker 1: read the book and he hasn't read a book in
- 23:01Speaker 1: fifteen years. That alone is very exciting. He read it.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why he read it. Me and
- 23:06Speaker 1: Ageleie came in here one day and he was like, Yo,
- 23:08Speaker 1: fam hain't you smoke crack? How that accident? And that day?
- 23:16Speaker 1: And I said, not only did she smoke crack, but
- 23:17Speaker 1: the crack was originally I hate you. I hate already
- 23:27Speaker 1: to read this. Everybody like, how many times smoke crack?
- 23:30Speaker 1: A crackhead, a little question, and she did it with
- 23:33Speaker 1: a pipe. She had plans to do it again on
- 23:36Speaker 1: New Years Wait. Wait, wait, so this is what it
- 23:40Speaker 1: takes for you to want to read a book. This
- 23:42Speaker 1: is what it takes believe. He was like, it was
- 23:47Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh God, that's gonna bet the head. It
- 23:51Speaker 1: was a mistake. It was a mistake. I mean it
- 23:54Speaker 1: was a mistake in terms of I was a kid.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I didn't know. It wasn't a big academic yet. It
- 23:59Speaker 1: wasn't like known to everybody, so it was just another
- 24:02Speaker 1: way to smoke weed or whatever that wasn't there. The
- 24:04Speaker 1: only reason it is because we don't want to make
- 24:07Speaker 1: it seem like you like, I'm a crack please, it's
- 24:10Speaker 1: the accident. I think that's a great comeback. You started
- 24:12Speaker 1: off a crackhead, and now I look at you, hello, Hello,
- 24:18Speaker 1: Shut the hell out. It was one time, though, I
- 24:20Speaker 1: just want to make it clear. It was one time,
- 24:22Speaker 1: and it was kind of an accident, and I mean
- 24:24Speaker 1: it was stupid. I look, come on, okay, we should
- 24:27Speaker 1: probably did something as a kid where you were like before. Okay, well,
- 24:31Speaker 1: what's the same thing that was the old crack is
- 24:33Speaker 1: fried cocaine. Okay. Now I didn't know that in the
- 24:37Speaker 1: moment until literally after it happened, and I'm watching the
- 24:40Speaker 1: news and I was like, oh god. I was like,
- 24:42Speaker 1: maybe I should smoke crack then because I want to
- 24:44Speaker 1: have a nice career. Likely I'd say it in the book.
- 24:51Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's like, it was great, it was amazing,
- 24:55Speaker 1: plan to do it again. All the page it it's
- 24:58Speaker 1: like half a paragra. That was the whole book is
- 25:01Speaker 1: going to be about this one bad review, a crack
- 25:04Speaker 1: for you to start that was it? No, because it wasn't.
- 25:07Speaker 1: It was like a special and that all of a sudden,
- 25:09Speaker 1: and then maybe it was out already and people were talking.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Maybe I wasn't paying attention until I had. Then you
- 25:14Speaker 1: do it and then you're like, oh, I think that's
- 25:15Speaker 1: what just happened to me. Now I feel I did
- 25:17Speaker 1: ecstasy before, and then I saw that special family on ecstasy,
- 25:20Speaker 1: and then you were like, like, oh, maybe maybe I
- 25:22Speaker 1: should not never did this again. Friends crack still question
- 25:31Speaker 1: that special may not have affected your friends? First of all,
- 25:35Speaker 1: a friends and friends movie. It was first of all,
- 25:38Speaker 1: it wasn't like my friends. It was like some kids
- 25:41Speaker 1: that I hung out with my grandmother's house in her
- 25:43Speaker 1: neighborhood at a park. It was just bad influences and
- 25:46Speaker 1: who knows. I don't know what happened to that. I
- 25:47Speaker 1: haven't seen them. Those they weren't like my friends. They
- 25:49Speaker 1: would like the kids. God, they were like the kids
- 25:50Speaker 1: from my grandmother's black Glad you got better friends, thank you, man. Yeah,
- 25:54Speaker 1: none of my friends. Absolutely. It seems like you've always
- 25:56Speaker 1: been a pretty private presence who wasn't hard because you
- 25:58Speaker 1: like kind of gave up a lot. Yeah, I did,
- 26:01Speaker 1: I know, And it's strange how comfortable I feel about it.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I feel like I gave myself out. So when I
- 26:08Speaker 1: started writing, I was like, I'm gonna just write everything
- 26:10Speaker 1: as it is. I mean with everybody, with my family,
- 26:13Speaker 1: with mine, like whatever, let me just write it as
- 26:15Speaker 1: it is, and then I'll assess and then I'll be
- 26:17Speaker 1: like I could eat the cut, but do all that.
- 26:19Speaker 1: But once it's out and you realize, like everything happens
- 26:22Speaker 1: for a reason, even that, even the cracting. I use
- 26:23Speaker 1: that as an example to say, like, I have compassion
- 26:26Speaker 1: for people who have addictions and who get go down
- 26:28Speaker 1: bad roads because of things like that. So I think
- 26:31Speaker 1: everything in my story in my life is for a reason,
- 26:34Speaker 1: So there's nothing I'm ashamed of. And so I just
- 26:36Speaker 1: wrote it. And then I was like, what about other
- 26:39Speaker 1: people that you're telling stories about? Some of these people
- 26:41Speaker 1: in my book, and maybe some of them are not
- 26:43Speaker 1: going to be in the most flattering light in their opinion,
- 26:46Speaker 1: but it's your story and what really happened. Yeah, you're
- 26:48Speaker 1: a pointing you did you have to say? Okay, let
- 26:50Speaker 1: me let them know. I keep saying that I'm going to.
- 26:52Speaker 1: I haven't made the calls yet, but maybe before maybe, Yeah,
- 26:55Speaker 1: I'm gonna maybe today when I leave here, I'll make
- 26:58Speaker 1: those calls. I'll make them. I'm torn about it because
- 27:01Speaker 1: I feel like whatever happened people know happened. So I'm
- 27:04Speaker 1: not saying anything that's not true. Number one, And it's
- 27:07Speaker 1: but you went a little in with some people. It's feelings,
- 27:10Speaker 1: but those are my feelings I don't talk about. It's
- 27:14Speaker 1: not from a judgmental or I'm trying to hurt nobody.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, like what my route is and
- 27:18Speaker 1: how I learned lessons because of things that happened. So
- 27:21Speaker 1: as long as it's under that umbrella, I felt okay
- 27:24Speaker 1: with it, and I don't feel like I hurt anybody,
- 27:26Speaker 1: like anybody's life. Did people hate you and say, did
- 27:29Speaker 1: you put me in the book? I get that all
- 27:31Speaker 1: the time, Like, first of all, you're not even in
- 27:32Speaker 1: the book. I don't know why people that are like
- 27:36Speaker 1: I kind of know, like did I make the book?
- 27:38Speaker 1: Like no, I'm so sorry. You don't surprised me. Finances
- 27:42Speaker 1: with you? You was terrible, money was terrible. Bad. Were
- 27:45Speaker 1: you said that? Surprised you didn't have those problems when
- 27:48Speaker 1: you started? No, you gotta really twice. I've been in
- 27:51Speaker 1: that situation once where I had to go to court.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Were you already known it on the radio? And good
- 27:55Speaker 1: thing was the problems with my wife's things when I
- 27:57Speaker 1: got fired from Wendy. She had to end up going
- 27:59Speaker 1: to court. But it was just that feeling like, damn,
- 28:01Speaker 1: you're so popping you would do whenever you were on radio,
- 28:03Speaker 1: you were doing every club. I was like why then
- 28:07Speaker 1: I was down at that eviction notice like this with
- 28:10Speaker 1: the hoodie on, like, oh god, why did this happen
- 28:12Speaker 1: to me? I just was irresponsible. I just was I
- 28:16Speaker 1: had never really learned how to do that, and so
- 28:19Speaker 1: I was like, you know, you get an envelope of
- 28:21Speaker 1: cash and you just spend it, right, And I was ripping.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I'm talking about from morning to night, working in the
- 28:26Speaker 1: club and come home. So you know, my mailbox. I
- 28:29Speaker 1: would check it, like you know, once every two weeks.
- 28:31Speaker 1: It just wasn't something in those bills weren't important in pain.
- 28:34Speaker 1: It was a people feel like that. And even now,
- 28:36Speaker 1: I think one thing you didn't I don't see you
- 28:37Speaker 1: explained that. How did you? And Mary gets so cool
- 28:39Speaker 1: that you could pick up the phone and any money.
- 28:44Speaker 1: This was Mary was popping at this time. Yeah, but Mary,
- 28:46Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to ever tell her business.
- 28:48Speaker 1: But you know, Mary has gone through things in her
- 28:50Speaker 1: life too, and we've both been friends to each other
- 28:52Speaker 1: during those times. I think Mary trust me, and I've
- 28:54Speaker 1: always trusted her. Even in this, even writing a story
- 28:56Speaker 1: about something that she helped me. I'm gonna let her know,
- 28:58Speaker 1: like you know, I'm telling the story, you know, you know,
- 29:01Speaker 1: so she knows, and I think she just you know,
- 29:03Speaker 1: we came up at the same time. So she's putting
- 29:05Speaker 1: her first album out, I'm just getting started popping on
- 29:07Speaker 1: the radio. It was her. She would listen to the
- 29:09Speaker 1: radio and then she'd come up to my show and
- 29:11Speaker 1: she was like, I love you so much on the radio,
- 29:13Speaker 1: and we just, I don't know, we just clicked and
- 29:14Speaker 1: then we would go out and we hang out, and
- 29:16Speaker 1: then you know, she has some things going on in
- 29:17Speaker 1: her life, and we just were always with both capricorns,
- 29:20Speaker 1: we have like a very I don't know, a unique
- 29:22Speaker 1: kind of understanding of each other. I even to now,
- 29:25Speaker 1: like even now Mary and Angie going into a check
- 29:28Speaker 1: cash and play. You understand what I'm saying in the
- 29:30Speaker 1: middle of did she have a check order? I don't
- 29:32Speaker 1: know why I love that story because I don't. It's
- 29:35Speaker 1: so her. She's so regular. She's such a regular girl.
- 29:38Speaker 1: You know, by the way, if you missed those two stories,
- 29:40Speaker 1: the crack story and can't find one in the hood,
- 29:45Speaker 1: why the story? Why have all the stories in the book?
- 29:49Speaker 1: Those in the two things that you are negative ass
- 29:54Speaker 1: resonated to. That's what saddened me about the book though,
- 29:56Speaker 1: because it's like, y'all, era, you'll never see that again,
- 29:59Speaker 1: like you and Mary coming up together, listen to my
- 30:04Speaker 1: album and the Queen. We're not getting that. Some of
- 30:06Speaker 1: those things I just take for granted what everybody knows
- 30:09Speaker 1: these stories. You know, everybody knows that jay Z and
- 30:11Speaker 1: R Kelly got into something at the garden and pulled
- 30:14Speaker 1: the show in the middle of the show and then
- 30:15Speaker 1: came up to the radio station and interviewed with me
- 30:17Speaker 1: at two in the morning. Everybody knows that story. But
- 30:20Speaker 1: then you write these stories and you start talking to people.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I did colleges last week, and I'm telling these stories
- 30:24Speaker 1: and they're like, what it doesn't seem real. Like even
- 30:27Speaker 1: reading I'm like, what this really happened? Makes me realize
- 30:30Speaker 1: how important it is to document it. I feel like
- 30:32Speaker 1: a lot of stories, especially radio, things that happened on
- 30:34Speaker 1: the radio that just for some reason like not well documented.
- 30:37Speaker 1: I don't know what that why? Or you know, you
- 30:39Speaker 1: know everything about artists, you know everything about videos because
- 30:42Speaker 1: it's all visual you've seen on TV. But the stories
- 30:44Speaker 1: that happened on radio, who documents that? Right? Owning everybody
- 30:48Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all
- 30:51Speaker 1: the breakfast club. We have Angie Martinez in the building.
- 30:54Speaker 1: She has a new book called My Voice Now. I
- 30:56Speaker 1: was really surprised you got so personal in this book.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You gave so much of your personal life, but you
- 31:00Speaker 1: can't write about your life and did like we know,
- 31:04Speaker 1: like it was just hate is a terrible word. At
- 31:07Speaker 1: one point, he wasn't my favorite person at one points,
- 31:12Speaker 1: as we broadcast on vote, didn't we both have come
- 31:16Speaker 1: a very long way because when we worked in the
- 31:18Speaker 1: other building, it was like, no, what did end with Diddy?
- 31:21Speaker 1: Nobody else with did? That's what it was. That's a
- 31:23Speaker 1: damn line. Plenty of people messed with him. I just
- 31:26Speaker 1: chose to not because we didn't have the best relationship
- 31:29Speaker 1: and I didn't want to ever have to fake it.
- 31:30Speaker 1: And we never talked about it. I guess should probably
- 31:32Speaker 1: talk about it after this, especially since this airs on
- 31:34Speaker 1: a vote. But you know, we've come a long way. Man.
- 31:37Speaker 1: I tell a story about him being super supportive during
- 31:39Speaker 1: the marathon and donating all that money, and you know,
- 31:41Speaker 1: he's who he is. But what was it he didn't like?
- 31:45Speaker 1: It was just moments. You read the book, Well, I'm
- 31:47Speaker 1: saying it for people who are listening, there were moments
- 31:49Speaker 1: that happened. Well, they could read the book too. There
- 31:53Speaker 1: are moments that happened where you know, his agenda was
- 31:56Speaker 1: different than mine, and you know he was aggressive about
- 31:59Speaker 1: his agenda as I was mine, and so sometimes that
- 32:02Speaker 1: just kind of bumped heads. Ran up on you one time,
- 32:06Speaker 1: well ran up its strong. Yeah, I mean it was
- 32:08Speaker 1: like he ran up on you, and you told me
- 32:13Speaker 1: and forced me to smoke crack and then out of
- 32:23Speaker 1: my apartment and I was evicted. I was hopeless, a
- 32:27Speaker 1: puffy and then you did um tupacket you in here
- 32:31Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, that says a lot about your character
- 32:34Speaker 1: because I know for me, if that was me and
- 32:36Speaker 1: I when I did, you would have totally aired immediate.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I love that about you, and I
- 32:45Speaker 1: like and I respect different people's perspectives on how they
- 32:48Speaker 1: choose to use their mics, on how they choose because
- 32:50Speaker 1: it's important to have different voices, you know, It's important
- 32:52Speaker 1: to have people who just want to tell it as
- 32:55Speaker 1: it is point blank. What I've learned is that I
- 32:59Speaker 1: can't be myself to do what other people do. Like
- 33:02Speaker 1: if I spent my day trying to be Charlemagne, I
- 33:04Speaker 1: would fail miserably, right, And so it's and I do
- 33:07Speaker 1: need security. And then that's one of the things. It's
- 33:10Speaker 1: like there's a place for all these different type of voices.
- 33:12Speaker 1: And it took me a while to really appreciate my
- 33:14Speaker 1: own and want to make sure that I'm always true
- 33:16Speaker 1: to it. What made you tell that story? What story?
- 33:19Speaker 1: The pop story? And you talked about that story that
- 33:24Speaker 1: was honestly, if I could tell, if I could be honest,
- 33:25Speaker 1: that was one of the milder stories. Really, yeah, it was. Yeah,
- 33:29Speaker 1: the old story he tells that was a milder story.
- 33:33Speaker 1: And and honestly, one of the reasons I dreaded ever
- 33:36Speaker 1: putting stuff out was because of how it affect the
- 33:39Speaker 1: outside people that weren't involved. You know, But at this point,
- 33:42Speaker 1: I'm starting to realize that it's part kind of part
- 33:44Speaker 1: of history. It's not for me to to protect. I
- 33:47Speaker 1: think everybody's kind of moved on with their lives at
- 33:49Speaker 1: this point. The whole two hours, I am at some
- 33:52Speaker 1: point and you know, you know what, I'm not sure
- 33:54Speaker 1: where where it's going to happen, but it just has
- 33:56Speaker 1: to be like respectful and done well. At this point point,
- 34:00Speaker 1: it's been so long. You said you didn't want to
- 34:01Speaker 1: put it out because you didn't want to call it problems,
- 34:03Speaker 1: but then Poking Big both got killed. Yeah, but imagine
- 34:06Speaker 1: they would have both got killed and I would have
- 34:08Speaker 1: put it out. I would have you feel that I
- 34:10Speaker 1: would have forever held that, like did I have something
- 34:12Speaker 1: to do with that? Is because of you know, I
- 34:14Speaker 1: would have always worried that's something so grateful that I didn't,
- 34:17Speaker 1: because honestly, I would have lived with that forever. I
- 34:19Speaker 1: agree with a lot of the moves that you made
- 34:20Speaker 1: in the book, like because I felt like a lot
- 34:22Speaker 1: of staid the anti Martinez did. If I was in
- 34:24Speaker 1: that same situation, I'm like, I probably would have did
- 34:27Speaker 1: the same thing, yeah, because I do feel like a
- 34:29Speaker 1: sense of responsibility to other people and not causing more
- 34:33Speaker 1: issues than necessary, especially when something can be violent the
- 34:36Speaker 1: way that it was as harsh as it wasn't. It's
- 34:38Speaker 1: crazy when you think about that time and how hostile
- 34:40Speaker 1: it wasn't. How I mean you remember like everybody it
- 34:43Speaker 1: was it was real, like if it wasn't like a
- 34:46Speaker 1: gossip blog like it was scary, it was like real.
- 34:49Speaker 1: You felt like people were gonna get touched, and people
- 34:51Speaker 1: did and they did and we but you didn't know
- 34:53Speaker 1: to what extent how many like you just felt like
- 34:55Speaker 1: if it felt very dark, like a bad time, it was.
- 34:58Speaker 1: It was a bad time. What did the gyms to say?
- 35:00Speaker 1: I got from you and watching you is. But people
- 35:02Speaker 1: don't understand is you know how to do everything. You
- 35:05Speaker 1: know how to clutch, how to run your own ball,
- 35:08Speaker 1: and you're real anal with that. Like if somebody works
- 35:11Speaker 1: with you, gotta know she wanted perfect, and people don't
- 35:14Speaker 1: know that about you, like you do everything you know,
- 35:16Speaker 1: let nobody do anything. To this day, you still Andree's
- 35:20Speaker 1: gotten a few fired over here for not being you
- 35:22Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But that's not my fault. That's
- 35:27Speaker 1: whoever that person's fault. It's like, you know, I can't
- 35:30Speaker 1: and I think as I've gotten older and more like
- 35:32Speaker 1: I just I don't can't tolerate being like somebody that's
- 35:36Speaker 1: not good. Plads can't tolerate lazy, people who are lazy,
- 35:40Speaker 1: or people who are not committed. I'm committed to what
- 35:42Speaker 1: I do, so if you are part of my team,
- 35:44Speaker 1: I need you also to be committed to whatever your
- 35:46Speaker 1: piece of that is. But like editing, I still take
- 35:48Speaker 1: prior to my stuff. So I feel like until I
- 35:51Speaker 1: have another Andree Martinez next to me who can edit
- 35:54Speaker 1: it and know exactly what I want to do, then
- 35:56Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Ever be another Aree Martinez because
- 35:59Speaker 1: you don't see kids doing the internships the way that
- 36:01Speaker 1: we did coming up and think of that nature working
- 36:04Speaker 1: in the promo department. Yeah, because they're lazy. I don't
- 36:09Speaker 1: even know how to tell kids to be a radio
- 36:11Speaker 1: personality anymore. Yeah. No, probably a different path. It's a
- 36:14Speaker 1: different like you have to go online us onlines, people
- 36:16Speaker 1: that are becoming celebrities places and then wind up. It's
- 36:20Speaker 1: just it's just a different path. But the work ethic
- 36:23Speaker 1: and the drive has to still be there. You know,
- 36:26Speaker 1: you can't do exactly what you did or I did,
- 36:28Speaker 1: or any of us did. You should take from it
- 36:30Speaker 1: the work ethic and the drive and the you know,
- 36:33Speaker 1: and the time you put into what you do. All right,
- 36:35Speaker 1: we have more with Angie Martinez when we come back.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the
- 36:40Speaker 1: Breakfast Club the Morning. Everybody is DJ M v Angela, Ye,
- 36:48Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we
- 36:51Speaker 1: have Angie Martinez in the building. She has a new
- 36:53Speaker 1: book called A Voice. That Forward is by j Cole.
- 36:55Speaker 1: A lot of people, first of all, I didn't know
- 36:56Speaker 1: some of people didn't know what the Forward was because
- 36:58Speaker 1: people were like, I know, They're like, what does that mean? Why?
- 37:01Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, that's honestly, that's the only thing
- 37:04Speaker 1: I didn't like about THEO. And I liked what he wrote,
- 37:07Speaker 1: but I just didn't feel like what made you? Yeah,
- 37:11Speaker 1: I feel like jay Z or somebody, Oh, I feel opposite.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I felt opposite because I think my space in the
- 37:16Speaker 1: culture is that, like, you know, I have this history,
- 37:19Speaker 1: but I'm also still very much in it. I mean,
- 37:21Speaker 1: you could check my ratings in the afternoon. We're still
- 37:27Speaker 1: but I'm very grey for them. We have amazing numbers
- 37:31Speaker 1: in the afternoons, and so it's like I feel I
- 37:35Speaker 1: have like one foot and this side of one foot
- 37:36Speaker 1: in this side them, which is a unique position to
- 37:38Speaker 1: be in. Think about Cole is, I feel like Cole
- 37:40Speaker 1: is really a student of the culture, like somebody who cares,
- 37:43Speaker 1: and so in telling my story to not just the
- 37:47Speaker 1: people that were there, but telling my story to people
- 37:49Speaker 1: that are new and may not know these stories, it
- 37:51Speaker 1: was he's the perfect person to kind of deliver it
- 37:54Speaker 1: to that, and he also speaks to the fact that
- 37:56Speaker 1: there's things to be learned from the way we came
- 37:58Speaker 1: up and the way that you know, radio was at
- 38:00Speaker 1: that time, and hip hop was at that time, so
- 38:02Speaker 1: it was perfect and I think he's amazing and I was,
- 38:04Speaker 1: I was, it was the perfect one. I think Jay
- 38:06Speaker 1: would have been like so predictable and so like what
- 38:08Speaker 1: could he say that hasn't already been said in terms
- 38:11Speaker 1: of like we don't know, maybe he could, maybe he
- 38:13Speaker 1: could have. Maybe he could have part two then, but
- 38:16Speaker 1: maybe part two maybe yeah, maybe the second maybe the
- 38:18Speaker 1: second book. He'll he'll grace me with a with a forward.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Speaking of whole, he used to let you hit all
- 38:23Speaker 1: his albums before you put him out. Was there ever
- 38:25Speaker 1: any songs you told him was whack that still ended
- 38:27Speaker 1: up being hits? Yeah? Probably his biggest song ever was
- 38:30Speaker 1: a hard Knock Life. I hated it, really I did.
- 38:33Speaker 1: I hated it singing because I used to love the
- 38:35Speaker 1: Anti soundtrack and I just was like, you check, come on,
- 38:38Speaker 1: this is It was like like this is terrible, terrible,
- 38:45Speaker 1: But I was like, it's all right, are you gonna single?
- 38:47Speaker 1: Like I don't think and of course you know, it's biggest,
- 38:49Speaker 1: one of his biggest songs ever. What did he say
- 38:50Speaker 1: after that? I think he just would always take opinion
- 38:54Speaker 1: and just kind of take it for what it was.
- 38:56Speaker 1: I don't think it was like he's like, I'm gonna
- 38:57Speaker 1: change my single now because you don't like it. I
- 38:59Speaker 1: don't think it is that. But I think he liked
- 39:01Speaker 1: to the same way. It's like I gave this book
- 39:03Speaker 1: to a few people, and it's soul like. Especially when
- 39:04Speaker 1: you guys gave me feedback, people who are in your career,
- 39:07Speaker 1: who you know, it's important to hear what you resonated
- 39:10Speaker 1: to what you liked that you didn't like. So I
- 39:12Speaker 1: think for him it was the same thing, and I
- 39:13Speaker 1: think he trusted me, and so that became like a thing. Real.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Are you at the point where you realize that you
- 39:18Speaker 1: and your peers R and D legends? I don't know.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Come on. One of the college kids asked me the
- 39:25Speaker 1: other day, when did you feel like you made it?
- 39:27Speaker 1: I was like, I still don't feel like I made it.
- 39:29Speaker 1: I still feel like I want to do films. I
- 39:31Speaker 1: want to write a movie script, I want to do TV.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I want to do but could be a movie. I
- 39:36Speaker 1: was talking about that the other day. I was thinking
- 39:38Speaker 1: I could see everything as like a mix between like
- 39:41Speaker 1: a modern like coming of age, like a brown sugar
- 39:46Speaker 1: hitting the crack pipe and the trail will be me.
- 39:51Speaker 1: There's a lot of stories. There's fights, there's work, there's struggle,
- 39:56Speaker 1: there's success. You talked about your love life, which was
- 39:59Speaker 1: surprising that you could. You couldn't wait to get to
- 40:01Speaker 1: that man. There was one guy and they dated him
- 40:04Speaker 1: and I know him too that I'm back in the
- 40:06Speaker 1: day and when I work at Wu Tang he worked
- 40:08Speaker 1: out loud. Oh yeah, you didn't say his name. She did.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Was always a cute couple. The first pop one of
- 40:17Speaker 1: the first epop power, the first power. Yeah, but we
- 40:20Speaker 1: were so like people didn't really know. No, we were
- 40:22Speaker 1: very kind of just like below the radar, So we
- 40:24Speaker 1: didn't tell you. Wendy Williams, who don't get off the
- 40:27Speaker 1: que tip things so fast now because you know, they
- 40:30Speaker 1: tell a lot of women nowadays, what's happening. They tell
- 40:35Speaker 1: a lot of women at radio nowadays. Don't mix the
- 40:37Speaker 1: business with the pleasure. I mean, you know, it's whoever
- 40:40Speaker 1: some people. I guess it works for some people, it doesn't.
- 40:42Speaker 1: You know, I dated somebody that I did somebody who wasn't.
- 40:44Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It just depends who the person's who
- 40:46Speaker 1: you like, it's who you like, and it's how well,
- 40:48Speaker 1: they deal with what you do. And because that was
- 40:50Speaker 1: the thing with why I would mention any guy in
- 40:52Speaker 1: there is because to tell you some of those challenges
- 40:54Speaker 1: of being a woman. It's like, you know, when your
- 40:56Speaker 1: man's like, what are you going to interview tupop four? Yeah,
- 41:00Speaker 1: Like I think girls need to know that. I think
- 41:02Speaker 1: girls need to I put myself in that situation. I'm like,
- 41:05Speaker 1: if my girl, that's why we wouldn't have made it exactly. Yeah,
- 41:12Speaker 1: I'm going with you. We're going I feel, you know, Auntie,
- 41:17Speaker 1: because I wouldn't want to date a guy that would
- 41:19Speaker 1: have an issue with me going to do something that
- 41:20Speaker 1: could be one of the biggest things in my career ever.
- 41:23Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying, especially when you're It's one
- 41:24Speaker 1: thing if you're married, you're married and you have four
- 41:26Speaker 1: or five kids, that's a different type of relationship. When
- 41:29Speaker 1: you're in your young twenties and you're dating somebody who
- 41:31Speaker 1: is not on board with what your vision is for
- 41:35Speaker 1: your life, you gotta keep a pushing bye bye. You
- 41:38Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Not that you're a bad guy,
- 41:40Speaker 1: but you're not on my track right now. And a
- 41:42Speaker 1: couple of the couple of relationships that I do talk about.
- 41:44Speaker 1: It's the same. They didn't work for the same reason.
- 41:46Speaker 1: It's like, you're not going where I'm going, and so
- 41:49Speaker 1: it's not God, you ever getting dumb arguments like you'd
- 41:51Speaker 1: be like your Midnight Maraudus is classic, Like y're you
- 41:53Speaker 1: just saying that because you're dating Tip classics classics? But
- 42:00Speaker 1: Dooper classic? No, I don't know. People didn't really know
- 42:03Speaker 1: at the time. I think most people knew, like after
- 42:05Speaker 1: we broke ye then we weren't together for many years
- 42:07Speaker 1: and we're good friends, and people thought we were dating them.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Like it's so late on that, so there wasn't a lot.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Did he lose a lot of music in that situation?
- 42:14Speaker 1: I don't want to say. I'm talking about a tribe
- 42:16Speaker 1: music that I've already done, that nobody made even heard. Yeah,
- 42:18Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, all types of stuff. Oh my god,
- 42:21Speaker 1: that was terrible. They're talking about the fire. Yeah, I'm
- 42:24Speaker 1: sure music, beats, songs that were completed, samples, all that
- 42:28Speaker 1: that you were arguing at that time. Did you think
- 42:30Speaker 1: that you said the house on fire person that everyone
- 42:32Speaker 1: was mine because ya were arguing you like that and
- 42:39Speaker 1: fire okay, hate you so much? I really hate you,
- 42:44Speaker 1: because that's because that's gonna be the headline. Baller alert.
- 42:48Speaker 1: That is one part of the book. You just up
- 42:49Speaker 1: and left your baby daddy. Oh wow, what did he say?
- 42:51Speaker 1: You are really wow? Wow? Wow happened. But let's leave
- 42:55Speaker 1: that in the book. Let's leave that the book. Let's
- 42:57Speaker 1: leave that. But I was I would say I was
- 42:59Speaker 1: a little bit careful that just because family and mic
- 43:01Speaker 1: so everything. But also there was a lesson listen anything
- 43:04Speaker 1: that I share and if somebody else gets into it,
- 43:06Speaker 1: I'm sorry. But honestly, I've learned something from all those situations.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Shout the That's the good thing about this book too.
- 43:19Speaker 1: It makes you respect other people in your life. Right,
- 43:21Speaker 1: It's like the ain't really been down since they wanted Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 43:25Speaker 1: There's only one other thing we need you to do.
- 43:27Speaker 1: We need you to break dance. Here you break dancing
- 43:32Speaker 1: in the book. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. But thank
- 43:35Speaker 1: you though, I thank you for the opportunity, But that's
- 43:38Speaker 1: not gonna happen. To that. There's a lot more in
- 43:39Speaker 1: this book that we didn't even get remotely discussing. That's
- 43:42Speaker 1: the problem with talking about books and movies. Nobody's seen
- 43:44Speaker 1: no you know what I mean, But go get this book.
- 43:47Speaker 1: If you're a hip hop a story, and if you're
- 43:49Speaker 1: a radio historian, you have to get to And if
- 43:51Speaker 1: you know nothing about radio or anything like that, you
- 43:53Speaker 1: are still and you're still enjoyed. It's very well written
- 43:56Speaker 1: in great stories. No matter what hip hop outliers said that.
- 44:00Speaker 1: That's so dope to me. It's amazing to feel how
- 44:02Speaker 1: different parts kind of resonate with people. And I'm really
- 44:04Speaker 1: proud of it. I'm you know this everything, I stand
- 44:07Speaker 1: by it in there, I'm so happy. Like the classic Man,
- 44:10Speaker 1: instant classic, a great documentation of a classic story from

- 52:11Speaker 1: brought y'all, brought y'all some gifts. Man, Uh, you know

- 52:22Speaker 1: vision with these headphones is a partnerple know about this.
- 52:25Speaker 1: And look, man, I'm not gonna get into all that.
- 52:28Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I got no I
- 52:30Speaker 1: got no uh information or intel about that. What I
- 52:33Speaker 1: can't tell you is that I'm backing it, and I don't.
- 52:35Speaker 1: I don't back things that I don't believe in. So
- 52:38Speaker 1: headphones are dope. It's a smart headphone, h the first
- 52:42Speaker 1: actual smart headphone. What does that mean? You'll be able
- 52:44Speaker 1: to share You'll be able to share information through the

- 53:08Speaker 1: six pack and everything. Hard work pay off, baby. You
- 53:11Speaker 1: know that's a lot of blood, sweat and tears in
- 53:13Speaker 1: that gym, blood sweat and tears. But I can honestly
- 53:16Speaker 1: say it's dope when you see the results of your
- 53:19Speaker 1: hard work, when you when you see things like this
- 53:21Speaker 1: come up. So it's pretty dope. Talk about some more
- 53:23Speaker 1: this money. He making word on the street and you
- 53:25Speaker 1: have already made twenty million dollars off your emojis. Cab.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Now that's I tell A white person told me that
- 53:31Speaker 1: doesn't day. I would tell that, I would tell you
- 53:33Speaker 1: the truth. No, that's not true, that's hype. It was
- 53:35Speaker 1: number one on the iTunes. It was number one. I'm
- 53:38Speaker 1: not saying that my my app isn't doing well, but
- 53:40Speaker 1: I'm not. I didn't make twenty million dollars. The app
- 53:43Speaker 1: game is uh, it's four right now, Okay. It's not
- 53:45Speaker 1: like I got in the app game at the beginning
- 53:47Speaker 1: of it, where the app game first popped off. I
- 53:49Speaker 1: was a latecomer in the app game, which is why
- 53:51Speaker 1: I tried to do minds differently and have my face
- 53:54Speaker 1: represent me and my my emojis. That was my way
- 53:57Speaker 1: of saying, I don't want to do what everybody else
- 53:59Speaker 1: is done. And you know, it worked. I definitely had
- 54:01Speaker 1: a lot of success, but I haven't had the success
- 54:05Speaker 1: that people have had early in the past. Kim Kardashian
- 54:09Speaker 1: killed that game when she did it because she was
- 54:11Speaker 1: one of the first people to jump in and does
- 54:12Speaker 1: a celebrity and say here's my version of it. So
- 54:15Speaker 1: everybody else Kim Kim definitely made some money off that.
- 54:18Speaker 1: I don't know what, but she definitely. Yeah. And then
- 54:20Speaker 1: you got the Sneakers. They're sold out Sneakers definitely sold out. Yeah,
- 54:23Speaker 1: hustle hearts working on a hustle heart too. Now you know,
- 54:27Speaker 1: I don't believe in doing things just one time. So
- 54:29Speaker 1: my relationship with Nike is on going and right now,
- 54:33Speaker 1: you know, this whole move with Heart movement has taken
- 54:36Speaker 1: us to a different place, a different direction where the
- 54:39Speaker 1: people that I've got to invest in the vision of
- 54:42Speaker 1: simply working out and being healthier are now embarking on
- 54:46Speaker 1: the same journey as me. So I was at one
- 54:48Speaker 1: point where I just prepared to run a five k.
- 54:50Speaker 1: Now I'm doing ten k's and then I'm gonna do
- 54:52Speaker 1: half marathons and I'm going to do my own marathon.
- 54:55Speaker 1: So the goal is to just grow, but not for competition,
- 54:59Speaker 1: just to simply say that you did, just to check
- 55:01Speaker 1: off goals on your list. And I think the best
- 55:02Speaker 1: part about it is to see people that don't work out,
- 55:05Speaker 1: that don't run, really start to get up and get
- 55:07Speaker 1: active and say, yo, I'm doing this because I want
- 55:09Speaker 1: to be a part of the movement. Dollars. I do
- 55:17Speaker 1: love that you do that, though, because I totally I
- 55:20Speaker 1: read jr um your interview in here, and I can
- 55:22Speaker 1: tell you're very passionate about helping other people. Just come on, everybody,
- 55:25Speaker 1: let's get up, go do a five k. I'm doing
- 55:27Speaker 1: a five k in two weeks. As though for me
- 55:29Speaker 1: it's it's it's about the the inspiring factor that goes
- 55:34Speaker 1: along with it, you know what I mean. When you
- 55:36Speaker 1: realize that you have a platform, you gotta find different
- 55:38Speaker 1: things to use it for. And I think in this
- 55:40Speaker 1: particular case, I'm authentic behind the words that you hear.
- 55:43Speaker 1: I'm not the guy that's standing on top of a
- 55:46Speaker 1: brand talking about something that I don't do. I'm a
- 55:49Speaker 1: representation of what I say I am. So I think
- 55:53Speaker 1: when people actually get to see the fact that I'm
- 55:55Speaker 1: out there, if I say we run in, I'm running
- 55:57Speaker 1: with you. I'm waiting until everybody comes through the one day.
- 56:01Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lied to you. I was a little
- 56:02Speaker 1: pissed off because I think I waited like an hour
- 56:05Speaker 1: and a half for this one guy, Like one guy,
- 56:09Speaker 1: one guy right. He come in and he was walking.
- 56:12Speaker 1: He was a bigger guy, and I was mad for
- 56:14Speaker 1: a second, but then I was like, I said, you
- 56:16Speaker 1: know what, man, I ran out to him. He was
- 56:19Speaker 1: like he was like a half a mile away. I
- 56:21Speaker 1: ran out to him, and I said, dude, I said,
- 56:23Speaker 1: if you're gonna come out, I said, you gotta at
- 56:25Speaker 1: least you gotta at least trying, he said. Kevy said,
- 56:28Speaker 1: you don't understand I'm trying. This is me walking. He said,
- 56:33Speaker 1: this is the best I got. I said, damn it, man,
- 56:35Speaker 1: and I'm I'm gonna walk the rest of it with you.
- 56:37Speaker 1: I guess. Man. It took me an hour and a half,
- 56:39Speaker 1: two hours of finishing with the guy, but it made
- 56:41Speaker 1: me realize, no, I didn't, and that's what I was mad.
- 56:44Speaker 1: I was mad, but I couldn't be a liar. You know.
- 56:47Speaker 1: I told everybody in the beginning of it, I don't
- 56:48Speaker 1: leave until everybody acrosses the finish line. But what I
- 56:51Speaker 1: learned that day was he simply got up. You know,
- 56:55Speaker 1: he was probably like a good three thirty three forty,
- 56:57Speaker 1: and he was like, look, man, I don't I don't
- 56:59Speaker 1: do this. He said, you made me feel like this
- 57:01Speaker 1: is what I should be doing. I'm out here and
- 57:04Speaker 1: I did it. I want to say that I did it.
- 57:06Speaker 1: It's the first day man of hopefully more to come.
- 57:09Speaker 1: He said, But you got me to start and I
- 57:11Speaker 1: took that and I was kind of blown away aby it.
- 57:14Speaker 1: And then and then as we kept going, you keep
- 57:16Speaker 1: getting different testimonials. You know, man, I'm fresh off with
- 57:19Speaker 1: cardiac arrest or Yo, man, I'm a cancer survivor. Or Yo,
- 57:23Speaker 1: I'm paraplegic and I'm in my chair, but I just
- 57:25Speaker 1: want to come be a part of something so inspiring
- 57:28Speaker 1: to get me hoping. So when you start to hear
- 57:30Speaker 1: all this stuff, it hits you and you go. People
- 57:34Speaker 1: are listening, but they're listening because they see the actions
- 57:36Speaker 1: going behind what I'm doing. It's got to be a
- 57:37Speaker 1: part of you that, Oh Lord, and you see somebody
- 57:39Speaker 1: coming up, you got things to do. No, no, no listening.
- 57:44Speaker 1: It's mental, it's all. It's all mental. So when you
- 57:48Speaker 1: when you do see somebody in the wheelchair, you know,
- 57:50Speaker 1: and and honestly you're you're blown away. You're blown away
- 57:54Speaker 1: by it because what they want to be around, they
- 57:55Speaker 1: want to be around that spirit. That spirit is contagious.
- 57:58Speaker 1: When you get around positive, when you get around a
- 58:00Speaker 1: bunch of people just high fiving, I don't care if
- 58:02Speaker 1: your hands in your pocket you don't want to high five,
- 58:04Speaker 1: or if everybody's out there going hey man, go go,
- 58:06Speaker 1: let's get it. Let's get it. You're gonna want one.
- 58:08Speaker 1: That's what he was out there for. The truth is,
- 58:11Speaker 1: anybody could do it. One of my friends had asthma
- 58:13Speaker 1: her whole life, and she couldn't really breathe. Well, she
- 58:15Speaker 1: never ever ran, and now she's about to do the marathon.
- 58:18Speaker 1: And it all started off with her just walking and
- 58:20Speaker 1: running a little bit, then running a little bit more
- 58:22Speaker 1: really slow jogging and walking. And the next thing you know,
- 58:24Speaker 1: she's doing these and if she died, she died doing
- 58:27Speaker 1: something she would love to do. She actually doesn't have.
- 58:29Speaker 1: She actually had as my attack since she started running,
- 58:33Speaker 1: because somebody just should be with her. My dad, my
- 58:35Speaker 1: dad got lung cancer. You know, he tried to do
- 58:37Speaker 1: something stupid. You know, my daddy had to take one
- 58:40Speaker 1: of his lungs out. So he called herself walking on
- 58:41Speaker 1: the treadmill. But I was in Heller and I say, hey, man,
- 58:45Speaker 1: you're on your own because I'm about to go to stair.
- 58:47Speaker 1: I'm going serious to work out. Man, you're sure you're good.
- 58:52Speaker 1: You don't know, man, I'm good. You know. My dad
- 58:54Speaker 1: loud and my dad, my dad got the mentor of
- 58:57Speaker 1: he thinks he's who he used to beat like I
- 59:00Speaker 1: get a page on a loudspeaker. Mister Hart, come down here.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Your dad in the corner holding is where as Lung
- 59:09Speaker 1: used to be here. But I tell you what I
- 59:13Speaker 1: tell you, man, I what was you walking on? He's
- 59:15Speaker 1: walking on four? Well brother, you well you shouldn't be
- 59:18Speaker 1: walking right now. But that's people jump out the window.
- 59:21Speaker 1: I can't get it all in one day. It's a
- 59:22Speaker 1: gradual process. I was that in your house when they
- 59:24Speaker 1: paid you in your own home. No, no, no, that
- 59:26Speaker 1: was that was me. I like to go actually, I
- 59:28Speaker 1: like to go out to the gym. Okay. I like
- 59:29Speaker 1: to go to the gym. I like to be around people. Man,
- 59:31Speaker 1: I don't like you know what I like. I like
- 59:33Speaker 1: going to the gym five five thirty because we see
- 59:35Speaker 1: those people in there. Those people that's more serious, that's interested.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I like people whose work process. So you get up
- 59:39Speaker 1: at what time? I get up four thirty, four forty five.
- 59:42Speaker 1: Every day. Wow, I'm a custom tom. I'm I'm a
- 59:44Speaker 1: computer and gym every day. I'm gym every day. Wow.
- 59:48Speaker 1: My light day in the gym is just like cardio.
- 59:50Speaker 1: All right, I'm not lifting the day. We're just gonna
- 59:52Speaker 1: do a quick three miles. We get out of here.
- 59:54Speaker 1: We did some cardio, but I need to know that
- 59:56Speaker 1: I got up and that I did something. Every day.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Friends know me young morning. Everybody is DJ m VY,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne to God. We are the breakfast club,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: Kevin Harts in the building. Now you have your old network,
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: a lot of comedians. We don't know who lying and
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: who telling you. You get a lot of phone calls
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: called me directly. Some people say, well, I'll tell you this.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to do everything myself. I'm
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: It's a network, you know. You hire people, You put
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: people in a position to do a job, to help
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: you manage the bulk of stuff that's coming in. And
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I think right now with the comedy Network, you don't
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: realize it's a lot of comedians out there. I know
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: them all. Even with the newer ones that are coming up.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: I've personally met a large amount of these people. You
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: can't grab everybody. It's the beginning, you know. So we
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: went out to who we felt we should go out too.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: And you know, right now, I think we shot fifty
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: four specials with a hundred and something comedians. Um, we're
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: about to shoot some more specials in Atlanta were doing
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: half hour specials and then I'm gonna go to My
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: and Me and shoot something. But We're then going to
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: go to Australia and I'm gonna do uh an assortment
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: of basically international comics from there. So this is a
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: special realm. And then after that, I went to the
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Just for Last festival and I gave out deals. You know,
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: I had a pitch fest where people came up and
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: pitched ideas, and the ideas that I felt were amazing,
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: I bought on the spot. So, man, I'm really just
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: trying to give opportunities to this younger generation. So within
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: my network, to all the comedians out there that feel
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: like they're being overlooking, miss just be patient. You know,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: this is a startup it's a startup network. You can't
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: do it all in one day. With the older comedians
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: that that you've blown past in your career over the past,
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: do you feel like you owed them anything like the
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: one that may have put you on should early on.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I don't owe anybody nothing. I don't I don't owe
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: no man anything. I think one thing that I owe
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: is is or the one I'll say it's not even
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: a person. I owe the craft of stand up comedy something.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: You know, stand up comedy is what got me to
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: where I am today. You know those doors are open
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: because I tell jokes. So all those before me that
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: have told jokes that made it to a certain level
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: and that opened up those doors, they allowed me to
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: walk through those same doors and create new doors that
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: other people can walk into. So it's my job and
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: my service to try to create more doors. It's not
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: me owing people. I have relationships, I know people, but
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: you gotta understand as a brand, as a business, I
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: have to be smart about my movement because I don't
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: want to be here today and go on tomorrow. So
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: I played chess. I don't play checkers. It's a chess
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: game for me. So a lot of networks have tried
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: to become networks. A lot of these social media platforms
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: that have been created have all failed, and you got
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: to look at the blueprint of what's been done and
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: why it failed. I've done my homework. I'm strategic. That's
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: why I parted up with lions Gate. You sit fifty
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: fifty on the board. I'm an owner of laugh Allowed Network.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: I'm a decision maker, but I partnered up with some
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: people that make great decisions, but that do it on
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: a high level. Ultimately, I'm gonna need those relationships. You're
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: gonna need mine, I'm gonna need George. But let's be
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Let's make it make sense. So I'm coming
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: with the creative side, and they're coming with the creative side.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: So the people that are insane and comedy don't see that.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: They don't see what I'm dealing with behind the scenes.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: I got a budget TV network. Yeah, it's a subscription
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: based comedy network about some established veteran It's like Martin Lawrence,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: I said he has a special comment or somebody like
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: a Dave Chappelle. Is that something that you tried to
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: do also for this, because that could be pretty it
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: would be huge. But I think I think people need
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: to see you need to see what it is, you know.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: I don't want to go out and pull those pull
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: those cards until people see I representation of what my
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: network is. It's real, it's real deal, it's quality. But
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: I'm not going to go out to a friend like
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, to a guy like Martin Lawrence or Chris
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Rock until they can see what I stand on. Do
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I have the money to pay those guys one hundred percent?
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: What I pay those guys one hundred percent? But when
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: I come, I need to know that I'm coming correct
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: because I need to treat you to what you should
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: be treated. I don't want to come and treat you
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: and I'm I'm half ass on my side. I want
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: to make sure that it's laid out in front of you,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: that you see the difference. Other people want to take take,
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: take on. So how do I separate myself from the
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: game people shows? And like I have, I brought two stages.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: I got two sound stages, so that lions Gate gave
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: you this is all speculation is talking about speculation. We
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: have no idea. Just made us talking about congratulations. We
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: know you just got here from La too for your huge, major, major,
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: major Thank you everybody that showed up. Man still blowing
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: away by it. You know. I got to look around
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: and just see everybody that was a part of that,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: you know, and by a part of that that's not
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: just my star. You know. I looked around and I
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: looked at everybody that's really really been involved in the
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: growth of Kevin Hart from my friends and Heartbeat productions
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: from my manager, Dave Becky, like I broke down. I'm
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: gonna probably see it soon. You know, I was trying
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: not to cry. But my manager, Me and my manager
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: have been together for fourteen years on a handshake. There's
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: no contract involved. I'm gonna do right by you, you
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: do right by me, and we've never we've never swayed,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: You've never we've never veered on the wrong road. And
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: that man has backed me and my visions for the
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: longest time. So it was dope to see him there.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Dave Becky, It was dope to see him there. Will Packer,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Tim's Story, Ice Cube. They came down, they spoke, and
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: that was special because that's a triangle that I hold
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: responsible for the high level of success. Now you know
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Tim Story, Will Packer. Will is the first producer to
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: go that guy should start in my movies and think
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: like a man, think like a man too. This is
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: back when you know nobody was really looking, but Will
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: was always checking and Will fought to get me in
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: that spot. Tim Story directed me and him is maintaining
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: an amazing relationship. Me and Cube Cube is dope because
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: everybody that's successful in stand up comedy in that urban
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: world was touched you somehow. I don't care, I don't
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: care who you are. Cuba has had his hand in
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: there somehow. I called Cube an urban version of Judd Apato.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: How Judd Appetoe is responsible for so much comedic talent.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Cuba's the same way. And I said, Q, when Rod
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Along came up and my name came up, Q jumped
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: at it. He's like, we gotta get him. And there
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: was conversations where it was like it wasn't a fight,
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: but you know, it was like, all right, are you
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: sure we're gonna go with Kevin Hart and Cube and
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Will and Tim. I was like, that's our god, that's
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: what we want. So you stay true to that. You
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: don't forget that. And I looked around. Man, it was
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: just so much loyalty in a circle that was around
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: that Hollywood Star event, and it just made me realize
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: how important these relationships are. Why is that a big
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: deal to Hollywood staring the Walk of Fame? For me,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: it was an accomplishment because it came out of nowhere.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: You know, it was something that was brought up and
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I was like, what, yeah, Kevin, they want to give
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: you a star. You were voted. Studios voted you in
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: and they said that you should get one your hard work,
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: dedication to the craft. And I was like, and even
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: me and the caress, I go there. I like to
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: go and look at the stars and walk past and
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: be like, oh, look who has a star. So they're
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: gonna pee on mine on mine is on a pea street.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Mines is on a heavy, heavy traffic pea part of Hollywood. Yeah,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: so you gotta know that just star is gonna get disrespected.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: But the fact that it's there, it's dope. You know.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I'm just hoping they give me at least two weeks,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: give me a clean two weeks before I walk and
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: see some pe on it. Because some areas with the
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: stars are that's a real nice area, nice areas like
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: I'm actually in the like, I'm in the good, like
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: the good walk like it's not like you gotta go
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: down and then you stuff like whoa, oh wait a minute,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: where we at the Hollywood and what they put him
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: down here? Off for holler, I'm on a good street.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Because you don't never, you don't care about the wards
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: like I don't. Even when they ask you about the oscars,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: you was like, we do this for the Basically you said,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: we do it for the love and money is all speculations.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: To talk about all speculations. Clear. I just want to
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: clear this up that every time Charlotte says anything about
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: money speculations, legally, I have not tied myself to any
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: amount that he said. Uh no, I'll say this. I'm
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: not the guy that's in it for the awards. I'm
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: not the guy that's doing this to say, Man, I
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: can't wait till they give me mine. I don't look
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: for that. I think that's why it's more special. When
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: it looks for you, it humbles you. And that day
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: now I broke down. You know, man, my mom was boiled.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: My mom passed away. A lot of she went through
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: my head. Don't judge me. Also, I cried at the reception.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: I didn't cry on the altar. The reception was more
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: emotional for us. The wedding was dope as hell. We
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: didn't go traditional, you know, we put our own spin
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: on it. And it was nice. It was very nice,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: you know. She she buckled a little bit um because
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just I'm major with the words. You know.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: When I put the romantic who put that on him?
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: You know, she broke down. But at the reception, when
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: people start giving a toast and just going down down,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: you know their memory lane and what they remember and
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: why they're happy that. That buckled me a little bit. Basically, Yeah,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: I did all mine. I ain't write nothing. I went
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: off the heart. I got up there and and freestyleted, brother,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: you're gonna feel this. There you go. Stumbled a couple
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: of times in the stumbled a couple of times. We

- 1:13:58Speaker 1: that's double what the light up screening everybody seat? I
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: just wanted to anybody where I was I stud looking
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: after they said ten times. That's the problem with trying

- 1:14:14Speaker 1: in the pulled out his phone out there. They're trying
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: to throw them out. What he wants to do. They

- 1:14:22Speaker 1: killed by group. I said, we'll do it, but don't
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: make a scene. You just get him out fast. Rules
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: and rules. Yeah, I could see if he wasn't cool
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: with him and you didn't follow directions it makes sense,
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: but that's your boy. Yeah, if they asked you to
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: do something for him, why would you That he had
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: on bright colors. That's another thing, you know, how distracting

- 1:14:54Speaker 1: had the halt a cruel light skin guys, it looked
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: like a bright light shot through the middle the show.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: That's what looked like. It looked like. It looked like
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: a new singing group just came in the building that
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: wanted to do a single in the middle of the show.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: They had to get you out of there. But you
