Starting point is 00:14:48 ripping and running my whole life, so when I get a chance to do a film, I get a chance to actually be in the city. It sits still for three or four months. That shit is rare being a rapper. Being a musician, anything can happen at any given time. The schedules can change at any given time. I'm just so used to
Starting point is 00:15:04 the clusterness of that shit. Anytime I get a chance to sit. But, you know what I mean? I'm just so used to just the clusterness of that shit. And anytime I get a chance to sit down and do something that I love or something I'm passionate about and I know what I'm doing, I like to be organized.
Starting point is 00:15:13 The rap shit is so under-organized. Like, we can pull up somewhere and that shit can cancel as soon as we're at the back door. You're like, what the fuck? But that movie set is always there.
Starting point is 00:15:21 The check clear. That shit hit on time every Wednesday. It's like an incredible night enough. That's what it's like. I just clear that shit hit on time every wednesday it's like a it's like a incredible nine of i mean like that's what it's like i just love it i get more peace i get more time with my kids i get to touch bases and do regular shit that i don't really get a chance to do when i'm on bow out type of time but when i'm on that acting time i love it because like i said i get to do something i love but also it just bring a nigga so much peace and it's very

Starting point is 00:16:22 And I wanted to quit too. Look, that's when I was hosting 106 Apart and I was doing CSI at the same time. So I was going coast to coast. I will film three episodes in one day at 106 Apart. Then I got to get on the plane and fly six hours to LA. Remember lines, be on point, be on cue
Starting point is 00:16:37 just to show CBS, but I can handle doing this and this. That shit was tough. That was probably the most toughest acting shit that I ever had in my career thus far. I know it's probably going to be some more shit ahead, but that shit was tough. Like, that was probably the most toughest acting shit that I ever had in my career thus far. I know it's probably going to be some more shit ahead, but that shit was tough. Like, I remember calling my mama, like, hey, check this out. It ain't over for about the money. This shit ain't worth it.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like, stress, this shit killing me. Like, I want to quit. It was like in episode six. Like, if you quit now, nigga, you ain't going to never work in Hollywood again. You can forget about that shit. They going to get your ass about it here. So, she told me that I had to pound through that motherfucker there. Nah, it's crazy, though.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Like, to see, like, when I really think about it, I'm just thinking about it now. Like, the movies you really be in, I be watching them shits. Like, I really watch Roll Bounce. Oh, come on, man. You got a calendar? Hey, hey, hey. Roll Bounce is a classic. I'm fucking with that shit.

Starting point is 00:18:48 I got to say Fast and Furious is fun as a motherfucker. Because that was my first action movie I ever did. And that was like some different type of shit. You know what I mean? Like, that's when I knew. I was like, okay, hold on. I'm finally tasting like this Hollywood shit right quick.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like, this is crazy. For me to be a part of Such a big franchise and then we did Jessalyn was a director that album That's what took on the pretty much carried the whole entire Franchise and that was the third one was his First like directorial debut Okay so I'll say Fast

It has definitely transcended past the street racing element. You know what I mean? But I'm hoping that we can get back to that element because it is a...
Starting point is 00:20:44 That underground street racing shit is some serious shit. So there's definitely a big cult for them. Most definitely. you know, I'm hoping that we can get back to that element because it is a, you know, that Underground Street Racer shit is some serious shit. It's definitely a big cult for them. Most definitely. Obviously, we know you fresh off tour. I want to ask you,
Starting point is 00:20:51 what's some of the songs on that playlist where you know the crowd really about to go up? Shit, all of them. Oh, yeah. I'm just trying to agree.
Starting point is 00:20:58 All of them. All of them. Especially like the older shit because, you know, if you grew up with a nigga, then you,
Starting point is 00:21:06 you know, a lot of cats be saying, hey, well, bow, like beware dog was the first album. I have a guy, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:11 So anytime I get a chance to go back and be my art cop and do like the earlier shit, it always bad. You know what I mean? From the first album to even like the mid adult bow shit from, you know, the like yous and out of my systems and the, I'm a flirts and the let's get downs and to take you home home to maybe your fucking day name it on that shit but okay um yes it's real got a long speech for us yeah it's real you know i mean shorty they ain't thinking about
Starting point is 00:21:34 everything bangs pretty much but it's all about you sequence the records though like people don't understand like it's all about you can't just say man i'm gonna do all my hits and they just don't hit like that shit got a flow like that's what people don't understand about tour like you could say i'm gonna do like you'd have to do i'm gonna show you that shit just don't they might not coexist well going back and back so i gotta really be careful and i'm the one that's really putting my shows together from the top all the way to bottom so anytime you come to a millennium tour anything that i'm a part of anything i'm doing that's me doing that shit from the top to about... That is hard, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I wanted to ask, bro. I was confused. Who found you? Snoop or KD? Snoop. So Snoop. Really, it was Daz. Daz was the first one for the Dawg's Tale. Yeah, Daz was... Because I was in Columbus, that's where everything happened, and I'm rapping at the Chronic Tour.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I jump on the stage, crowd going crazy. I'm like five years old, six years old. They throwing money on the stage. You know me, I drop the mic, nigga. I'm picking up the money. I'm like, I'm picking that up. We need that. I was on your side at that time.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Hey, nigga, hold on. I wasn't on their side. They was throwing money at you. And they turned into a sticker. I couldn't get shit at that time so anytime I saw the money coming we'd be picking that up and then from there
Starting point is 00:22:49 it was actually during the intermission it was AJ Johnson who played Ezell on Friday he was the MC on the chronic tour and he was like man I got this little nigga out here and they're going crazy
Starting point is 00:22:57 and they was like you gotta come you know Daz you gotta take to the back you need to go meet stupid Dr. Drake and from there it was on so once I went backstage, this infamous picture.
Starting point is 00:23:07 And motherfuckers are going to look it up. It's a B. I think I was like five years old. Snoop is like 18 or 19. I think Dre might be like 22. It's just us three in the pic. I'm in the middle. And from that day, it was over.
Starting point is 00:23:17 And that nigga said, nigga, your name going to be Lil Bow Wow. Because they was calling me Lil Stopper. My original rap name was Kid Gangsta. And that nigga Snoop was like, nigga, that thing don't fly at all. That's what is terrible, right? So he was like, everybody keep calling him Lil Snoop. I wanted to have his own identity. I don't want him to go around and be Lil Snoop, but
Starting point is 00:23:34 he is me, but fuck that. I'm the big fat one. I'm the big dog. He the little dog. And that's how I came to know that ain't gonna be Lil Bow Wow. That's gonna be you. That's hard, bro. That's a fire origin story. That's hard. You been lit since five nigga that's how old you with the uh tim cowards jersey 13 okay you know the first job i hated that nigga he had a razor scooter
Starting point is 00:23:56 i can't even do no kickflip nigga fuck this nigga got a scoot. I want to ask you a question. Talk about discography. What's one song, obviously you and J.D., you have a lot of great producers. What's a hit that you passed on or you was like, damn, I could have had that one? It's crazy because Jermaine pretty much been like
Starting point is 00:24:22 my main producer pretty much throughout my career I mean Pharrell done episodes I worked with Swizz too It might have been maybe a short time in my career Where I would start accepting records from people Like let me be more open Than producers send me shit And I remember getting this beat
Starting point is 00:24:39 And I knew this motherfucker was special And heard the direction I'm like alright I'm gonna I'm going to do it. But Blackfeet be fit there in the club. Oh, shit. But for me, it was pretty much like when I got this beat, I said, damn, man, this motherfucker is so special. I know it's for the ladies and that's what I do, but it ain't nothing really sticky like that. And I remember I just passed on the beat. Next you know about a couple months later and i got two of these records

So I'm on a plane actually flying.
Starting point is 00:30:40 So when I get to New York, my mama called me and said, what the fuck did you do? And I was like, what you talking about? And I'm watching the playoffs. I'm in the room watching the playoffs. I said, something about a play. The fuck did you do? So I ain't do shit.

Starting point is 00:32:03 like the convention always happened with an R&B singer on a record when I collab it's pretty much going to do what it's supposed to do and for me I think I think one of my homies told me like yo bro I want you to do an album with every R&B thing in the game like you always win with that
Starting point is 00:32:20 it was a T-Pain hook, a Chris Brown feature and a Mariam feature whoever it is bro it sticks,, it just, it sticks. I mean, that's why I'm glad I got one with Jacquees. Me and Trey just got on a tour. Me and Trey been in the studio cooking up a lot. But Brent Foyer is somebody who I really, really fuck, but I'm a fan of his music. I fuck Woody Knots the bro.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Yeah. But he's definitely on top of the list. I'm sure of myself. I'm sure of myself. Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, D degree changed the formula for their cool rush deodorant the fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and degree listen and that doesn't happen often they admit it they effed up and are bringing the original cool rush scent
Starting point is 00:32:55 back and it's exactly how you remember it cool crisp and fresh there's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target, and try the OG Cool Rush for yourself. I don't even have a question for you, more or less a salute, because like you said, you've been that nigga since we was kids. We see a lot of people who grew up in Hollywood, grew up with fame. They don't always end up the same as adults. But for you to navigate to be who
Starting point is 00:33:26 you are, that's dope. But how was that growing up with all that type of notoriety and just still having to be a regular person? Shout out to my mama. I got a black mama, so you know my mama ain't... Yeah, definitely. Having my mama in my quarter, that played a big role
Starting point is 00:33:42 into my career. And not only that, but just for me, just based on what you said, for me, I always studied the ones who came up for me who fucked up.
Starting point is 00:33:50 So I'll be watching them, like, now I know what not to do because if I slip down that hole, that's what, that's going to be me. So I'll be learning from motherfuckers
Starting point is 00:33:57 making their own mistakes. But, you know, I give all credit to my mom. So, like, without her, like, she was like the launcher pack into this shit
Starting point is 00:34:04 that kind of prepared me mentally. And then, of course, me having the legends in my corner, having a Snoop, having a Javay Dupree, and just, you know, even a Nelly,
Starting point is 00:34:11 you know what I mean, who I consider like a big brother to me. These is niggas that's going to pull up and fight me if I'm out of control, if I'm on the internet.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Wow, and that's why I've been on this best behavior these past couple of years because I understand what it is and I understand my brand, I understand who I am.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And it takes real big homies to come to me and bring your ass down here one time and let you know what you've been fucking up on. And I got a lot of people that love it.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Outside the game, they're inside the game and they don't want, they ain't going to let me, they ain't going to let me fall ever. So, yeah. I got to tell them.

Starting point is 00:36:54 and I felt that, you know, it wasn't my time to do it yet. I felt that the fans and me understanding our audience
Starting point is 00:37:03 that the B2K reunion was their time, and it had to happen for them. And it was, I didn't want to take away from the moment. The moment was too big, and I set it out. And I just watched every artist from that, from our time, just get the tweet, and it was so pissed, like, man, why the fuck y'all ain't call me?

Starting point is 00:48:14 Wayne is very reliable. You can rely on Wayne. When I was at Cash Money, his room is room A. I'm room C. If I'm working on some shit, I can go right out in the parking lot, walk right over to the other,
