Versus watching you do it over everybody else showing you love. We got to start spreading that love. Right. As a younger generation, hey, man, it's an honor. I appreciate that, bro. So how's life treating you? Man, we blessed, man. We just got through shooting Wild that love. Right. As a younger generation, hey, man, it's an honor. I appreciate that, bro. So how's life treating you?

Man, we blessed, man. We just got through shooting Wild N' Out again. Right. On the road right now with my OGs, Carlos Milichico Bean, shooting the 85 style. Right. We got the Wild N' Out tour about to pop off. Right. You know, just working.

Trying to stay in the mix. More music on the way. Right. So, you know. I heard you got a new baby. New baby. I got a new baby boy, man. Number three? Number three. More music on the way. Right. So, you know. I heard you got a new baby. New baby. I got a new baby boy, man. Number three? Number three. Number three. Trying to have ten.

Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ten? Ten, don't think, OG. I need ten. Let me ask you this. How hard is it? Because you mentioned all the irons that you have in the fire. Right. You got the Wild N' Out tour. You about to come out with music. You have your own podcast. You doing everybody else's podcast. How hard is it for you to be the father that you want

to be knowing that you got to make sacrifices so they can have down the road see we was talking about that a couple days ago those are the things that we we have to have sacrifices we got to understand what are we going to be able to say take a pause on in order for me to do that right what's going to be like ah you may want to do that but that's got to come what are we going to be able to say, take a pause on in order for me to do that. What's going to be like, ah, you may want to do that, but that's got to come to a complete stop. So me being a father, as much as I want to do that every day and want to be there to watch my kids grow up, that's the sacrifice that I have to take in order for me to be able to go out here and provide so they can have the life that they have.

But now that we are in a point and we can, and we have our tours going on and we got all this other stuff going on, now it's like, I'm trying to reroute. Right.

How can I be there more? So I don't have to be on the road as much. So it's a lot of sacrifices. During the pandemic was pretty cool because everything was pretty much shut down.

That's the most I've ever spent with my children. Right. But now, being a comedian, basically Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you gone.

Gone Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Not only that Gone Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Not only that, we shoot the podcast on Tuesday, come back Monday to refresh, then Wednesday, go handle your business with your children.

Thursday, back on. Back on again. Back on again. You grew up on the west side of Atlanta. West side. Pancake Road. Yeah, Adam V.

College Park. Where you at, Evan? Adam V. Martin Luther King. I mean, it get technical now. How you want to do this, OG? Y'all take...

Look, first of all, all College Park, East Park, all y'all... Y'all take Cascade, everything, Southwest Atlanta, y'all all that.

Listen, one thing about the city of Atlanta, Georgia, we embrace everything, but I am really an ATL-ian, Atlanta-born native. Right. Like, my zip code,

30331. I went to Fulton County School. Well, Fulton1. I went to Fulton County School. Well, Fulton County, I stayed in Fulton County, but I went to Atlanta Public School. What high school did you go to? I went to Carver Maze and I got...

Benjamin D. Mays. And I got ready from Creme. Right, okay. That's on the east side. That's why I rock with it, you know what I mean? But it was Atlanta Public School, but it was an alternative school.

Okay. I'm reading, whew, man. Got stabbed, sold coke, robbed, broke into cars, gambled was an alternative school. Okay. I'm reading, whew, man. Got stabbed, sold coke, robbed, broke into cars, gambled, got locked up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it.

I mean, that's all in the life of growing up in Atlanta. That's just my life decision, my choice. Right. You feel what I'm saying? A lot of people want to blame their surroundings and all that. Yeah, we do what we see, but I chose to do everything that was, anything that was involved with my life. But God blessed me, and he redirected my footsteps. Right.

We was always a praying family. So my mother's prayers were answered. You know what I mean? And by me finding God before, when I was at rock bottom, while all this is going on, that's what's keeping me motivated. I stay prayed up no matter what, you feel me? So we went through a lot of, we overcame a lot of adversity. You mentioned, we were talking off air that you don't drink, but I see where you did drugs, Molly, Xanax.

Yeah, yeah. You know, it was a pen popper, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? But that was a time in my life when I was trying to figure out what was going on. Right. You know what I mean? Like, when the time I got stabbed up.

This is a real year for me. I was 21. First of all, I had got in trouble with the law. Right. Got that out of the way. And then I ended up getting into a street brawl with a couple of my brothers. You know what I mean? I got stabbed up.

I got a big scar from right here all the way around about right here. Got hit twice right here in this hand. Got hit in my back. Got hit in the head with a pole. My brother died on the scene, but came back. My other brother got stabbed in his head. I almost got it. Got his hand cut off, arm cut off.

In the mix of all that, the Lord knew I was, I said, adult. So he said, I got to take your hands away from you. Right. Because I know you. You ain't hard-headed, but you just determined. Right. You see what I'm saying? Right.

So, and anytime you work at something, you practice, you get good at it. I don't need you to be a good drug dealer. Right. So if I take your hands away, now you got to use your brain. Right. So now I didn't have my hands for a couple months, like nine, ten months. And all I could do, this is when my memory started to get better. Right.

Because I had to remember things. I never remember the phone number. I can remember 20, 30, 40 phone numbers because I can't write. Right. I can remember raps and music because I can't sit down and write no more. So I had to go to the studio and remember it in my head. And then afterwards, I was like, I started to recuperate, and I was still heading down the wrong path.

I wanted to see a dope. And my partner, Fatty P, was like, bro, you need to do these Vine videos. So I seen him on Worldstar one day, and you know, to the black community, when you see somebody on Worldstar, that's like they made it. Yeah.

You like. That's real TV. So that's real TV. So I'm sitting there stabbed up, right, and I couldn't use my hand because all I was jacked up, so I just had my thumb. So I'm sitting there stabbed up, right? And I couldn't use my hand because I was jacked up. So I just had my thumb. So I'm tapping in Worldstar with my thumb

and I'm just sitting there watching it. And my partner come on Worldstar. So as me, I always, I'm a motivator. Like, if you see, if you're doing good, I'm going to tell you. I call him and this is my partner. I said, boy, I see you on Worldstar, but you're doing your thing, boy.

Keep going. He's like, where you at? I'm like, nigga, I'm at the house. You know, I'm stabbed up. He's like, fool, I've been telling these folks, this is vine. I've been telling these folks about you. I got a little partner that's really funny, and if he was to come on here, you would go crazy. And I'm like, bro, I said, no, you know I ain't standing out there. But that was God's message of him trying to tell me what I need to do.

So he was talking through him, through my partner to tell me. And once I started, I'll to do. So he was talking through him, through my partner to tell me. And once I started, I'll never forget. Once I started, it just, the blessings just started coming abundantly. You feel me?

I started that same year. I got in trouble with the law. Got stabbed up that same year. Started doing Vine at the end of the year and never looked back. Have a quick. Shout out to my boy,

Fatty Pade, man. Money bag mafia. You had 25 of them. You mentioned that you, you're a praying family. Your dad's a pastor. Yes, sir. You know they say the pastor's son.

I think normally it's the pastor's daughter, but the pastor's son. Pastor's son, well, pastor's son's out. Wild, I'm the only one who ain't do cocaine. You the only one? Only one, only child. How, did your father, did your mother sit you down and say, son, come on now?

See, oh man, we were just saying say, son, come on now? See, oh, man. We were just saying this earlier, too. As a black family, we would know things that's going on, but we don't have confrontations. Right. Sit down. Right. As a family. Right.

Like, we can know our cousin is a crackhead, but. Pretend that we don't know. We pretend like we don't even see a crackhead. And like, act like we don't even want to sit him down and be like, bro, why are you on crack? Yeah. You feel me? As a family, we just accept it and just keep going. It's like, no.

We be so embarrassed. We don't be embarrassed. We just don't like to address the real. No, but you know, it's like, man, well, that's young Fly cousin. Man, he on that stuff. Man, you tell Fly? Nah, I ain't told him. I ain't going to tell him because they don't give a damn.

You feel what I'm saying? So it was like my parents, one thing my mother did say one time that struck me because she always wanted to have a boy and I was her last child. Right. And I was just going, just doing crazy stuff in the streets. And she was like, man, you know what? You almost really about to tell, like about to make me like say to God that I think I had

I asked for a mistake. Right. Why did I have you then? If you're going if this is what I prayed for. Right. I wish I, you damn near about to make me say I wish I never had you. Right. And that kind of like put a spark into me. Right. I was like, man, I got to get myself together. You say you're the youngest of six. What was it like growing up in the house?

Man, I got well. You know, I come from an older family. Older family. Everybody know my dad had me when he was 61. What? Yeah. My oldest brother right now is 66. How? 66. My father said I got a grandbrother. What? Hold on. Hold on. He said I got a grandbrother.

How you got a brother older than to be your daddy? Listen, man, I got great granddad. I got great You said I got a great brother. How you got a brother older than to be your daddy? Listen, man, I got great granddad. I got great niece. I'm a great uncle. I'm a great. I've been a great since I was 12. So he... Listen.

You got niece and nephew as old as you, huh? Listen here. We had to change our relationship because they were old. He was like, look, just start calling me your cousin. He's like, I ain't calling you my uncle. I'd be down. We'd go somewhere and they'd be like, who's that? My little uncle. He's crazy.

In school, what was school like for you? School was fun. School was fun because I always was associated with people that had great humor. And it was something always about somebody that just had great humor. I was like, good.

I could just, you're going to make my time in school go by so much easier because we're just going to sit back and laugh. But having old parents, man, and not really. They weren't all about that kiki kid, though. They weren't always about that kiki kid. But when you know you're not really as fortunate as others, you don't really know because it's the norm. People wear fake clothes, hand-me-down clothes, not knowing. Oh, bro, we really messed up in the hood. Yeah.

You feel me? My partner got on J's. I ain't got J's. I don't know when I'm going to get the J, my boy. I'm just hoping and praying one day my people are going to get me the J. But guess what? I'm not faulting them for not having the J. Right.

I got on some Nikes. They might not be Alphorn One, but they Nikes, though. But I know how to be clean with it. So everybody who I was around, I always accept my honesty. I used to wear fake shoes and try to get my partner to wear fake shoes. I'd be like, why you gonna spend $100 when you can go spend $100 and get two paddies? They used to be like, Lil Fly, listen, you a real one,

but stop talking to me. Check this out. Me, like when I was in school, I was a good athlete, but I talked with a list. And I made fun of other people so people wouldn't joke at me. They wouldn't look at the clothes

that I got holes in my knees. My pants was flooding. My shoes were messed up. Is that why you became? No. Did you make fun? No. Did you play sports?

I played sports, yeah. What'd you play? Man, I played baseball, basketball, and football. I played slide, OG. If I seen you coming across and I would play a slide, well, I'd get out of the way. Exactly. I'd get all the way out of the way.

But I'm just letting you know, I'm in the cut. I'm right there. But no. Fly, you weigh 140 right now. Listen, listen. So at 17, you had to be like 123? As little as I am, I can take a hit. Yeah.

And I know how to hit. Okay. So it was just a, the power is there. It just don't look it. No, it don't look it. It don't look it, Fly. But I'm going to get low, though. I'm going to get low.

I'm going to get lower than you, though. But no, it was a defense mechanism. Like, I was just funny. And by my parents being old and by me not really just having the latest fashion, it was like, well, let's see what we can get away with on him. Right. You can do that with me. Right.

You talk about these fake shoes, you better be ready. You see what I'm saying? Because it's like, who you talking to? Right. I wasn't the one that was going to be quiet. Right. So I would kind? Because it's like, who you talking to? Right. I wasn't the one that was going to be quiet. Right. So I would kind of like

beat the person who was fresh. Right. It don't matter if you was fresh or you was the most popular. Right. I would make you see eye to eye level with me, boy. Right.

And they going to be like, oh, look, the shouter right there. He ain't nothing to play with. If you ain't going to be unitype, wasn't going to let it go. You ain't going to get one off. You going to keep.

You on the fight. Oh, I don't know when to stop. Oh, who? Who? You keep firing them. Don ain't going to get one off. You going to keep... You want to fight? I don't know when to stop. I don't know who. You keep firing him. Don't say nothing to me. You're going to get put in it. I let him get it because I'm going to make sure he don't ever pick on me ever again. Right. So that was my... I don't mind fighting over with that, but I was

more of a ladies man. Right. So if you're going to talk about me or any of my partners, I'm right here. You know I'm going to roast you first period. Right. Second period. Oh, your mama just came up. Oh, you got three hubcaps. You done let the wrong person see three hubcaps. Right. Oh, no, I'm on you the whole season. You getting the guys that laughing too? Because you know normally it's the guy that, okay. See, this the thing. If you grin, you in. Yep. Because that's what make you mad. Somebody laughing. Oh, he said that. Why you ain't mad at him? He, he when he's. You laugh, so that mean you thought it mad. Somebody laughing. Oh, he said that. Why you ain't mad at him?

You laugh. So that means you thought it was funny. That means you thought about it, too. Oh, no, you grin, you in. Listen, we used to roll so bad, people used to be like, mm-hmm. Because they knew that was the rule. If you grin, you in. But all that, B-100, was our way of showing love, too, at the end of the day.

That was comedy. Right. Me not even knowing that God was training me on the way. I got voted class clown in 12th grade and didn't even know that them folk put my name on the ballot. They just had my peers look at me as a damn clown. At no point in time when you was growing up, did you ever think, you know what? I can make money doing this.

I can be a comedian. Hell no. Hell no hell no telling jokes at one point in time being funny was a song a formal way of you being friendly or you scared right you feel what i'm saying you're trying to be everybody's friend you're trying to make everybody laugh that's why if you was my friend you knew i was funny right because i'm really standoffish i ain't finna be opening my mouth like that because you know the loudest mouth get hit in the mouth you feel what i'm saying and you know back then when you talking out of turn right you need to be ready to back that shit up right well no talking out of turn back in the day right so i had to learn that so it was like nah hell nah you you was my friend

and you knew i was funny but it was like god was showing listen, you already used to this since you was a jet. Even if you not even knowing it, this is what you supposed to do. You was working on your craft and didn't even know it. Didn't even know it. I was being like, I was literally doing, I'll never forget one time I got kicked out of school, right? A dude had... Only one time? That's the only time I got caught.

You know, I was a smooth criminal, baby. I know how to talk my way out of any and every... I'm like, you going to kick me out? You going to kick? Look at me. What did I really do? You can't kick this face out. Man, he said something about my mama so bad.

No, he said something about my daddy. Everybody knew my daddy was old. I'll never forget this shit. This shit haunts me to this day. I was in 10th grade, chemistry class. Miss Taylor. That nigga said, but John, I know you ain't talking about that, but I heard your dad almost died last week.

I'm talking about the whole class went crazy. So I never forget his mama had some big ass, can I say titties? Big ass titties. I'm talking about huge, I'm talking about stupid. So I grabbed two chairs. I said, I know you ain't talking about that, why your mama tittied this big.

Grabbed two chairs, put them to I know you ain't talking about that. Why your mama titted this bed? Grabbed two chairs, put them to my chest, and walked around the whole class. Nigga, I had the whole class hollering. Nigga, the teacher was like, Winfield, sit down. I was like, you don't know what he said about my daddy, girl. Shut up. Nigga, I'm talking about, nigga, I felt it. She gave me a fifth of eight.

I had to take her class again the next season. I sat my ass down that time. You mentioned that you got to start doing Vine. And I've heard a lot of comedians say, it's easy to do internet comedy. You do sketches. But can you do a 15-minute set? Can you do a 30-minute set?

Sketches are fine. There's nothing wrong with sketch comedy. But can you do a set for 30, 45 hours? How long you trying? Can you do that? Sketching is part of writing. And when you come from the internet, you don't have an audience. I find a lot of stuff funnier when I'm by myself and I'm getting high. That's your humor. So that's how the internet starts to sprout. And once you start elevating your craft you have to transition and understand each business each every aspect it's a it's a it's the essence of this thing you have to really take your time and understand what god is putting you into right so as a whole entertainer with this whole comedian i literally had to sit all the way back to grasp that title as being a comedian.

What is it from the beginning to the end? And when I started doing it on the phone, it was cool. It was like, ah, it was cool. But then once they started calling saying, all right, we want him to do stand up. Right. Right. This was a different ball game. This was, I never had this much pressure.

So once I Finally broke the ice Did it one time I knew I said Oh no I was hooked But I knew it was

It was different from the phone Right And having that mic Because here's the thing When you doing a live In a comedy show The gratification The gratification

Is instantaneous You know they like it immediately Yeah You crazy You play Boo Or they just But not even that It's the It's the mentality of knowing is instantaneous. You know they like it immediately. Yeah, I'm flying. You crazy. You playing. Boo. Or they just... But not even that.

It's the mentality of knowing that you finna go out here and make people laugh you've never seen before in your life. Right. This is psychological. This is crazy.

Right. It's like magic. It's like a magician. Right. I'm finna go out here and do this magic trick in front of people I ain't never did before.

Right. I hope this coin stay up in the air. Right. Because once it drop, these niggas gonna know it's budget. So, okay, you go from you're a viral sensation, you're internet, great. You get contracted for your first stand-up gig. Are you nervous?

How did it go? It went exactly how I needed to go. Everybody looked at me so crazy. It wasn't, I didn't get a boo. You didn't get a boo. I got the silent treatment. But it was long enough that if I would have kept going, it was like, nigga, you finna get these boos.

You feel what I'm saying? Oh, they in our back pocket. We just waiting to throw them at you. But it was like, but I got the confidence that this is not nothing to be played with. Right. This ain't the phone. Right. This is now, you have now have stepped into now what you call being a professional.

Right. It's time to understand what this is. Go learn it. Go study the greats. Go study the up and coming. Go study the ones who should have been greats. Go study the ones who ain't got no name. Everybody, all the aspects of what this is about to be,

you need to know what this is. So you can come at it the best way you can. Not just offer, let me just wake up and just speak my mind. No, because it may be days where I'm going to be mad. You have to be a professional and then go out there and turn it off. And it's about the people now.

It's not about you. So God gave you a calling. It's time for you to step into it. In it's about the people now it's not about you so god gave you a calling it's time for you to step into it in today's there's how difficult if you look at the way eddie murphy back in the day richard pratt robin harris all those greats bernie mack yes in today's time what they were saying back then it ain't gonna fly d fly, DC. Yeah. It ain't going to fly. So now you got to be really funny because you can't talk about someone's disability. You can't talk about somebody being LBGTQ. You can't do all that.

And I fly. The crazy part about it is you can. You damn sure can. I'm talking about saying right now. But you're not coming off as facetious. Right. See, people got to understand comedy is art. Right.

I have to draw a picture so you can understand and respect my perception. Right. Because I was, especially if you want me to respect your perception. I know somebody did art and got slapped for it. Yeah, but. That was art. But the art of it was you seen love at the end of the day. Nah, he saw stars at the end of the day.

But that's the thing. Stars of love. That's what I'm trying to say. That's what he saw. But see, that's the thing about the whole comedy game. You never know how it may come after you. What this person is about to say. A comic is never coming on stage the whole comedy game. Right. You never know how it may come after, what this person is about to say.

If we're not, we're, a comic is never coming on stage and his mindset is, if these people, I'm about to hurt their feelings. Right. No, it's an art form.

We're coming on stage and we're painting a picture. Right. You may not like one part of the picture. Right. But it doesn't affect the entire picture. Right. You see what i'm saying right so i've everything basically has to not say to get talked about it just has to get

spoken about right so we can understand different people personality and different processes where it's like oh it's been some listen i've heard some stuff where i'm like oh only he can get away with that right right only that person can get away with that. Right, right. Only that person can get away with that. Sometimes that's just how it is. God chose them to speak on a certain situation. Now, if I was to speak on it, I ain't got the words to formulate it like that. Right.

It's going to come out as, yeah, maybe I should have kept that shit in my head. You know what I'm saying? But no, but comedy is a beautiful sport, man. It's a beautiful thing because it allows us to actually laugh at all our trauma, our pain. You know what I'm saying? There's insecurities.

We get to find ways to enjoy our flaws. Right. You see what I'm saying? Because we're going to go over there and talk good. Oh, what's up? All the rich people. We don't want to hear that. Right.

We want to hear about the roaches. Right. We want to hear about your auntie that still ah, ah. You know why I want to hear that? Right. We want to hear about them roaches. Right. We want to hear about your auntie that still can't cook. Right. You know what I mean? A good friend of mine is Earthquake. Earthquake say he take real life events and make them funny. That's it.

Is that? Yes. I talk about getting jumped all the time. Even though we got stabbed up, my brother almost lost his life. Everybody almost lost their life. Why'd you run? I thought you was a football player. You could run then.

See, at the point when I knew we was losing. It was too late. Yeah, it was like my last night getting wiped. I was like, help. These boys good. These boys have been trained. You feel me? So it was like I learned how to laugh about that situation

and be like, hey, man, listen. Even though we almost lost our life, but guess what? The greater thing about that situation and be like, hey man, listen, even though we almost lost our life, but guess what? The greater thing about that whole situation, God is good and kept us. You feel what I'm saying? So not look at that as a situation to have anger and walk around here and be, but guess what?

You want to keep your joy. You want to always be anticipated on the joy that God is about to bless you at all times. So why would you have some trauma in your past to stop you from thinking about all the things he done blessed you with? You started out, you was roasting celebrities. I was doing them bad.

You got on KD, man. Why you do KD, though? Listen, I just wanted him to comb his hair. That's all we wanted. Listen, y'all don't understand. KD is really my dog. I mess with his hair. See, man, there you go. That's all we wanted. There you go. Listen, y'all don't understand. That's unnecessary. KD is really my dog.

I mess with his brother. T the Ramp, we cool. I done been at the crib and all that. Right. But at that time, I wanted to say, you know what? Celebrities couldn't quote unquote get talked about. Right. It wasn't normal for somebody to go out there

and be like, talk about somebody in the celebrity line. I'm like, oh, he roasting them folk? And I'm like, no, this is, I want these folk to understand that they still us at the end of the day. I'm never coming at nobody as like, I'm talking down on you. I'm just roasting you. This is our hood coming.

Before it was stand up, that was my stand up. That was all I knew. And then once I started transitioning, it was like, okay, the E-Foat, my friends. I can't just be out here talking about the E-Foat. But he did chime in. Do you get upset or do you get offended when people would come back? No, it's the fun. It's the art.

It's the fun of the art. That's really our way of showing love. You ain't never went to school and your partner seen something you had on. He didn't say, what's up to you. He'll be like, boy, what's up? He ain't going to say good morning. The first thing he going to say is, boy, you know you shouldn't have wore them shoes today. Before he say anything, that's your real friend.

I'm not going to allow you to be out here and have the Forrest Whitaker in the back of your head. No, my boy. Yeah, but see, that's what I'm saying. But see, I would beat them to the punch. See, I'm gonna get the jokes off first because somebody might hear it and then they gonna be laughing at me all day. So I'm gonna get the joke off on him first.

I got to get the first one off. Listen, Kobe hit me. Man, my partner did hit me the other day. He told me that my brother, when I told him how old my brother was, he said I had a grandmother. I'm still getting jokes to this day about how old my parents is. I'm 30.

They ain't going to stop. That's how I love. How old is your father? My father passed when he was shit. He had you when he was 61. He had me when he was 61. Your mom passed, though? No, my mama's still here.

How old is your mom? My mama is like 77, I think. Yeah, 77. 75. It's going to be 30. Yeah, 75. Yeah. My grandma paid when she was 99.

My big mama paid when she was 104. So you going to live a long time. Hey man, listen man. I got a sack of balls now, man. I want to try to take it. It's real, man. Okay, what about this beef with grilled kid and whiz? Who side you on? Which one? I want to try to take it. It's real, man. OK. What about grill? What about this beef with grilled kid and whiz?

Who side you on? Which one? You talking about Gillian the Kid? Yeah. We ain't got to put some clothes on, first of all. Put that pussy clothes on, man. You in your tighty-whities. The man working out.

Working out in tighty-whities, man. If that the case, then I'm feeling what's all working out in my tighty-whities. No, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, everybody's got to get free and get in your tighty-whities and get to working out. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, everybody's got to get free and get in your title items and get to working out. No, no, no, no. The man, he doing mixed martial arts. No, to be honest, how in your business do what you want to do? I think it kind of like got blew out of proportion.

Yeah. Because they both from Philly. You feel me? And OG, getting the kid, man, that's the OG, man. Shout out to the Million Dollar Warfare gang. You dig what I'm saying? I don't think he meant no harm by it. No, he just said, bro, you know, I can't.

I just can't. I just can't. I just can't. Put some clothes on, man. Just put some shorts on. They got the same pair of shorts in Fruit of the Loom in Walmart. Them same pair I seen. The one he wore. Did you think Wiz took it a bit too far getting the main account deactivated?

But see, them are allegations. Who said that? Damn, where my water go? We got to get you some more. Oh, them are allegations. Who said that? I don't know. Where my water go? We got to get you some more. Oh, you got to give us some more? I went to reach for it. I'm like, I got more.

But no, those are, allegedly, that's what they say. You know how, you know I'm a street nigga, so I'm not going to say they did it or what they did. What they said, you know. Who says he done what happened? He got it back, though. He got it back? He got it back.

You know what I'm saying? The streets going to rock with you. How long, I mean, if you're doing back? He got it back. You know what I'm saying? The streets gonna rock with you. How long, I mean, if you're doing a set, how long does it take you to write a set? Ooh. I've been on,

man, I've been on doing stand-up professionally since 2014. It's 2022. Almost, what, eight years. Man,

it takes, it took me eight years still to get here. And I don't still feel like I have stepped into the prime yet. Right. Like I'm still learning, learning my voice,

learning different dynamics on stage. Right. You see what I'm saying? But man, it takes time. That's why a lot of people, when I get into my new set, because I'm about to be done with the No Cap

Comedy Tour, I'm headlining this arena tour. This is my first time headlining. It's my second time headlining with Wild N' Out, but the actual stand-up bit, this is my first time headlining an arena tour, and we've been selling out everywhere we go. Shout out Lil Duval, Carlos Miller, Chico Bing, Black Run, B. Simone, D. Ray Davis, Michael Blackson. We're going crazy. It took me time just to get here. And the new era right now, they record everything.

Right. I got to tell people this is how comedy works. It takes us time to build sets, material, because we tweak it. Every time we go on stage, we be like, ah, we like that. Okay, we like that. We're critiquing every time we go on stage. Add and take something. We're adding and taking something out.

So when you see somebody do a perfect set, they work. They ask to get this set. Sometimes people be thinking, oh, people just funny. They just coming off the top of their head. No, I told you, this is psychological. Some of these folks been saying that maybe two, three years.

They've been working on it. They never was saying it like that the first two years. So when people record, majority back then, when somebody has a set, back then when the OG was doing it, they had maybe like

one or two sets that had been taking them this far for so long. Once you get a major set, you can travel 10 years with it. Now that they're recording that set, somebody on Facebook You're going to say, you should have heard that your front chain. But this is the thing. You done show

somebody on Facebook, somebody else done came to your show. They done show somebody on Facebook. Somebody else done came to your show. They done show somebody on Facebook. The person on Facebook done seen your show five times before they actually came and seen you in person. Now when they come see you in person, Facebook done seen your show five times before they actually came and seen you in person. So now when they come see you in person, they done heard it five, six times because y'all done took the whole dynamic of the show away from the consumer.

Right. You see what I'm saying? But it actually take time for people to build sense. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast, NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal.

But that's where the professionalism. See, early stage. I put around,, I don't like kids to do this. This is before, and I don't want kids to do this now. I was still in the streets, coming off the streets, trying to understand what a professional is. Right. I was on stage, put around the pop pill. Oh, you popped the pill on stage? Listen, this was my beginning time.

I wasn't getting no money. Like, my first year and a half, I didn't get no money. You shouldn't be getting no money. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I should definitely not be getting no money then. I popped the pill, went on stage. This was like a little workout room. There was probably like 12 people in there.

I go on stage. I was like, yeah, what's going on, y'all? I forgot what the fuck I was... I forgot. I forgot the... That quick? Listen, that quick, I was all geeked up on stage. Nigga, I just went the rambling and talking. And when I got off stage, the comedian, the host came up,

buzzed me in the head like he's supposed to do. Because you're always supposed to talk about a person when they ain't do good. You feel what I'm saying? But I learned then, stop playing with this crap. Right. You ain't in the streets no more. You can't treat it like the streets. Right.

You got to be a... I'm telling you, look't in the streets no more. Right. This, you can't treat it like the streets. Right. You got to be a... I'm telling you, look yourself in the mirror. Stop playing with this God-given talent. That ain't the way to do it. Right. Stop doing all that. Really got myself clean.

Made sure I did the homework and got on stage and here we are today. You ever got booed? Mm-mm-mm. So what are those silent, those long, silent looks? What are they like?

As a professional, you got to keep going. Even when the joke don't work. Right. A joke don't work, they might laugh a little bit. You better keep the fuck going. Keep going. Go to something that works. Right. You see what I'm saying? Because sometimes with comedians, we'll try to fit in something new in between just to see what works or not. And if a joke don't hit, you got to go to something that works. Do. You see what I'm saying? Because sometimes with comedians, we'll try to fit in something new in between just to

see what works or not. And if a joke don't hit, you got to go to something that works. Do you try your jokes out on the homies or somebody before you get both of them? Yeah, all comedians. We talk as comedians. Like, we be up there, man, listen, man, the shot of last night, right? Whoop, whoop, not long. We are formulating our whole setup, the punchline.

We doing all that because as comedians, this is how we naturally practice. We practice amongst our people. And even when they around and they say something funny, we add that to our material. Most definitely. What's the toughest city to perform in? Ooh, I love them too. The most gangster cities ever. My city, of course, Atlanta.

Yes. St. Louis. Detroit. I want to say that's Texas. Texas. Because they solid. They solid. They love you, they love you. And if you trash, you trash. Ain't no coming back. Ain't no coming back. You can't come back to Texas. You're trash.

You're not coming back. But I want to say Atlanta, St. Louis, Detroit. Detroit has a comedy circuit that's so solid. Like, it ain't nothing

but some real ones that come out of Detroit. Right. And if you can go to Detroit or St. Louis, for real, for real. Right. Oh, and Chicago. Yeah. Chicago. Chicago ain't just gonna, they don't accept everybody. But A, we love a comedy show. A, we love a comedy show because

we comedians. The niggas in the crowd's comedians. Man, every comedy show sold out. You have one at State Farm, it's going to be sold out. I don't care who it is. Everybody in there is in the building because we just love to laugh. That's just our southern, I guess, hospitality. Yes.

You feel me? When you heard T.I. was going to do comedy, what were your first thoughts? I mean, anybody that's willing to put their mind to it can do it. You feel what I'm saying? And he's really been doing his thing. And for the situation to happen in New York. Brooklyn, yes. In Brooklyn.

He come right back to the city, to Atlanta the next day and rip it in the arena. You don't understand. To take that, what happened in New York. Right. To take it as a comedian. Right. That, that's like getting sent to the hospital and coming back from rehab, man. You got to start all over.

Because you have to understand, it's different. T.I. was this international known rapper. Which still is. Yes. Which still is. Yes. And now you go, you subject yourself, I'm going to start from the bottom floor. They boo this man, he say, I don't care. I don't even care.

But you got to understand the confidence to have as a comedian to do that. And then not only that, come right back. Some people take a minute before they come back on stage. They be like, man, I can't deal with that. You come right back, get the love, get the appreciation, the people seen, and actually not only do that, but come on stage and kill it too and

went crazy. It just showed like, oh, he's ready to even be a comedian because that's it Right now that's that ain't none. Okay. Nothing else happened as a comedian Yeah, from now, but see I ain't built like that. I'm only gonna do things that I'm good at see I Know it see that one won't see that's the thing with superstar Sometimes we get so frustrated with our talents. We want everybody to see them, right? So that's just like me. I want you to see me at my best.

Because you always see me, I was a football player. Right. You always saw me at my best. Right. I can't let you see me at my worst. You see, sometimes the people got to learn that, though. And see, if I would have known Michael Jordan didn't make the basketball team,

he actually got cut. Right. I won the trip when I got cut. Because I never got cut. Right. I always made the team. Right. So until the trip when I got cut because I never got cut right I always made the team right so until the moment when I got cut I lost my mind I'm like would you even look at it like what do you and he ain't even better than me why how you keep him right it's like you kept him like I never ever got cut but if I would have known Michael Jordan got cut I would have been like okay even have it to the greats I just got to stick in there. Let me ask you when fans start heckling, right?

How do you how do you handle that? How do you handle that? Do you like all right now? Okay now, you know I'm the comedian. I got the microphone, right? That's your warning you you got you you got the mic Nobody should ever without no mic over talking right ever in life. I don't care what it is. I would be more agitating than you. I don't care. I would, I, I, I, I, you deaf. You hear me?

You're not going to get me. But I come from that street structure of comedy. Like, okay, this is our comedy. The heckler ain't doing nothing but quote unquote trying to be a badass. He want to talk about somebody. Let me shut him up, embarrass him in front of the entire crowd. Not only embarrass him, embarrass who he came with. Right. Just to

show that not only what you do affect your people. Right. And everybody that's around you, the people that sit next to you, the car you drove in, everything is affected. Right. When you trying to be a bully badass. Right. So that's how you have a heckles.

You just got to tear their ass up. You... Sometimes they like it though. Oh, they like it? Yeah, sometimes they tripping. They come for that shit. Last year. Right. Somebody came up on the stage.

Man, what happened? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out. What happened? Oh shit, I don't know. What they say? What you hear? I mean, I would say they like, man, DC Young Fly gets with a fan. What? That's what you heard? Yeah, that's how you put DC Young Fly gets it with a fan. What? Yeah. That's what you heard. Yeah, that's how you put them 55s on it.

Damn. How many? 55. Damn. I don't know if it was that many. I don't know. Oh, damn. So, somebody comes up.

So, what are you thinking? I mean, you just thought, okay, dude going to come up to me and give me some pound, going to dap me up. He going to go sit down. I'm going to be 100. I'm going to be 100. You know, coming from doing the 85 South show, I'm always used to, I come from the hood, so we show love.

We're aggressive. Yeah. What I love. I don't care what it is. Sometimes we just aggressive what I love. It's cool. Get here, Ian. I'm not intimidating anybody.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right. Let's go. Right. Let's go. Shoulder bump. Let's, ah! We're going to shoulder bump each other out.

I'm doing my show. He comes up. I'm thinking he a fan. Right. Because I'm like, I, he comes up, I'm thinking he a fan. Right. Because I'm like, I bet. So I go to embrace the crazy shit, you feel me? Not only was I thought about embracing the crazy nigga, I got hit. Like he hit my hand.

Yeah, man, that shit was crazy. I know. You about to show love, he not- He knocked my hand down He knocked my hand down Once he knocked my hand down In my head I said boy he hit you How you

How you How you go from that to that Yeah that was it That's all I heard When he hit me I was like ooh he hit me And shit Whatever you heard

That was him In a situation Let's just say for the sake of argument. Right. Young Fly hosting the Oscars. Right. He makes a joke. Right. Somebody takes offense, they come up on.

I mean, because in that setting. Right. You have to understand now. You do your comedy show. You in a hoodie. You in jeans. Right. You know what I'm saying? You in sneaks, but you're just the Oscars.

Right. You in tux. Right. Velvet, you know, top of the line name brand designer. Right. You not expecting this. So when somebody, you make a joke about somebody significant other. Right.

And that person gets up out the seat and walks up on the stage, what is Young Fly thinking? Okay. Now, I Fly thinking? Okay. Now, I fuck with both parties. Yes. All right? I'm a fan of both parties' art. They're both legends in my eyes. No matter even the situation that happens, it doesn't affect their legacy in my eyes.

Right. Yeah, I'm understood. I'm understood. But that need to be the narrative. Yeah. They try to drag it and go all the way down. Right. It shouldn't affect their legacy.

I'm going to see Chris Rock when he come on, and I'm going to go see Will Smith if he do another movie. Facts. Most definitely. We're going to support both of them. But if you want to dissect it, let it be real. Let it be grown men. Okay.

All right. Let it be grown men. Okay. All right. The joke can be broken down in multiple ways if you're intellectual and understand. Okay. Have you ever seen G.I. Jane? Yes. Okay. They see ever seen G.I. Jane?

Yes. Okay, they see it. G.I. Jane. Demi Moore played G.I. Jane. G.I. Jane had an entanglement in the movie. I didn't know that. So a lot of people

who ain't seen G.I. Jane don't know that maybe that would have been the angle he took. Right. So for those who don't know that angle, they only seen

the ball head. The ball head angle. So, we don't know how close of enough friends they are for that to be a joke about my significant other. Or even if

do we joke like this off camera? You feel what I'm saying? If we joke like this off camera, they cool. They ain't tripping. But if we don't joke like this off camera, why we gotta do it on camera? He said a joke earlier. But remember when Will Smith boycotted the Oscar because he said there wasn't enough

inclusiveness or diversity. And Jada said she was going to boycott too. Chris Rock said, well, ain't nobody invite Jada. Right. Understood. But see, for me, I think Will, this is years, of people saying he'll wax.

Will Smith was the first rapper to get a Grammy. Everybody says his rap is soft. But here he goes from the rapper, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to a box office. Facts. Facts. Still feel that he doesn't get the credit. They making jokes. Everybody making jokes.

What's that entanglement? You making jokes too. I'ma be one. I'ma be one. I'ma be credit. They're making jokes. Everybody's making jokes. What's that entanglement? You making jokes too. I'm going to be one. I'm going to be one. I made one too. I made one. Everybody made one. But, let's just say he's human. Is he not allowed to be

emotionally frustrated? Not on me. I'm saying that. Not on me. Not on me. He sure cannot. He absolutely Not on me. He can't be. Not on me. He can't be. He sure cannot. He absolutely cannot on me. No. Fly down. That ain't going to happen. That ain't going to happen.

You better walk your ass down that way. Hey. Hey. Listen. Okay. I understand. I understand. But what I'm saying is he's human.

Yeah. He's emotionally frustrated. Now, and this is what also I took in. Here's a man who is also motivated by his wife. Yeah. Now, you got the clip of them laughing it off, right? At first. At first.

He was laughing. Right, right. We don't know what the hell happened when they took the camera off. You know he looked at her. And when he looked at her, that's just like you shooting a jump shot, right? You about to shoot a free throw. You got the jittery bug. You like, man, I You about to shoot a free throw. You got the jittery bug.

You like, man, I'm about to miss this motherfucker. And then I look over there at my girl, and she like, you finna make this motherfucker. You know what I am, finna make this motherfucker. That's what I felt. Like, he was like, ha ha, damn, that's crazy. Wow. Wow. He looked at his wife and was like, you right.

I should go up there and hit that motherfucker. Like, that's what I felt that for. But now let's take it in to OG Chris Rock. We going to speak some real. Can I speak some real? Yeah, do that. All right. The way we handle situations,

I felt like the way it was handled, it was handled with class a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah, it was. Because at the end of the day, stuff like that happen all the time in the hood, but it's really supposed to be like a brawl situation. I don't care where we at, what's going on. Damn this mic.

Yeah, I believe any place other than the Oscars. But this is what I'm saying. The Oscars owe Chris Rock. Yeah. They owe Chris Rock. He kept y'all, quote unquote, legacy. Yeah. Name a lot.

Chris Rock will never ask with me. Woo! I mean, you know, the gloves outside. Just in case y'all want to get it off the chair. The gloves is outside. Yes. You hear me? Yes.

But if we want to keep it 100, he was like, you know, when it happened, he was like, wow. Because they had to end the Oscars. If he had reacted like you or I would have reacted. It was over with. The Oscars would have only been 20 minutes long. It was over with. Two and a half hours shorter. 15 minutes.

Yeah. So I was assuming he came in. So he handled that with care. He did. Even though he was like, God damn it. I'm going to see you after this. I can't believe... But right now...

I can't believe he did that. I can't. No, I'm saying that's what Chris Mark probably said. Right, right, right, right. I can't believe. Because when he said it, but I'm like... Because I'm thinking like everybody else.

Man, I know this man ain't just... That's a skit. Man, that boy... That boy... I'm listening. The Oscars are on him. The Oscars are on him. The Oscars are on him. That's why he said,

man, listen, I'm going to worry about Will later. Oscars, y'all need to pay me because I kept y'all show alive, y'all name alive, and I handled this for class. He did.

I just got slapped. Nigga, y'all... On national television. You know how mad I would have been at the Oscars? You know how bad I want to fuck this motherfucker up? Hey.

I saved this. Somebody wash my feet, please. I'm trying to figure out where. Right now. You know ain't nowhere we ever at. Somebody can walk up and slap somebody. Nobody. In the day of life.

I don't care if you ain't the gangster or nothing. Somebody going to be trying to get hurt. Yes. Handle that with class. And they'll be like, you know what? I'm going to deal with it later, man. I got a job to do. Oscars.

I'm going to call that child in a minute. They keep going. Run the teleprompter. You feel what I'm saying? So I got to sit there and say, you know what? I'm going to deal with it later, man. I got a job to do. Oscars, I'm going to call that child in a minute. They keep going. Run the teleprompter. You feel what I'm saying? So I got to sit there and say, you know what? My boy handled that with class. He did. Hey, take your hat off to her.

Let me ask you. Your style. Who are some of your favorite comedians? Bernie Mac. Kevin Williams. Mike Kemp. Kevin Hart. You know, Tony Robbins.

Carlos Miller. These are like my favorites. Like the ones I watch. Earthquakes, you know what I'm saying? Even women. S'more. Monique. People got to understand, when you're studying the game, you got to-

I like Adele Gilders, too. Adele is fire. There's a lot of it. I can really sit down, I can't really sit down and say, which one's my favorite? Because I like them all.

If you make me laugh, you can sit in a favorite and you've done what you're supposed to do. You've done it. So it's like, I sit there and I study the game and I just sit there

and take what everybody has brought to the game and I'm like, oh, this is what she does. This is their angle. This is how they set it up. That's why that was so funny. You feel what I'm saying?

But my favorite all time, all time, got to be Burning Man. If I can sit and have any conversation with any comedian- Rob Markman, Jr.: Burning would like that. Bernie Mayne, Jr.: I got it. Because I know he would kept it so real. He would get kept all the way 100. DC, fuck everybody I wanna eat. Oh, fuck off.

You say, what the fuck you want to say? That's... I was like, all right. Is that the natural transition? Because we saw it with Richard Pryor. Right. We've seen it with Eddie Murphy. We see it with Kevin Hart.

Right. We see it with so many comedians. Right. Start out doing the stand-up and then transition to television. Right. Is that something that you saw or it just happened? I just wanted to do the music and I always wanted to television. Is that something that you saw or it just happened? I just wanted to do the music and I always wanted to act. I never saw myself telling jokes in front of people. I always seen myself in front of people, but it was for either

music or I'm doing theater, but I'm not telling jokes. That was not a form of a profession to us in the hood. You see a dope dope, play sports, or do the other stuff. But once I realized this is what I'm supposed to be doing, it was way easier for me to just be like, I want to be a comedian, and all of a sudden the light shine. That was all I was missing. Rob Markman And it's less dangerous too. Rob Markman Yeah. But I mean, as you can see, it goes down.

You feel what I'm saying? But when you can bring a group of people and make them forget about everything that they're going through, you're doing God's work. Right. Q, thinking about doing another Friday. Come on, man. And you've been like, man, I think smoking. Nobody can do smoking. I ain't supposed to say that. But I'm been like, man, I think Smokey. Nobody can do Smokey. I ain't supposed to say that, but I'm

going to say it anyway because we get old. I don't care. Chris Tucker out of his mouth told me. Told me. Literally. This year. Sorry, OG. I'm sad. We're getting old. Okay? He said

if I play his son, he'll be in the movie. So if this ever reach out to anybody who will get anybody, I promise you, his mouth, this is what he said to me. He said, if I play, he said, if you play my son, I'll be in the movie. I swept. Well, Cube owe me a little. I want a little cameo. I got to do something.

You got to. You got to be. Let me be Debo. I'll be Debo. But you know what I'm about to say? You could be the new, what's his name? Oh. Damon.

Yeah, Terry Crews. Yeah. You be do Terry. I don't think nobody's scared of Terry no more. He come in doing that. They be like, man, get your ass on, man. But is that something that you like? I mean, would you like to do movies?

I would love to. I like doing drama. Did you see the role in the BML? Yeah, I saw that. Did you see it? I saw that. Come on, 50. You told me you was going to put me in some mode, man.

I work for it. I keep telling you, man. I want auditions. But no, that, I wanted to say, when I did that role, I said, man, I need to grasp this role. And shout out to Miss Tasha, man. She is, you know the mother that was in, who played in ATL? No.

Who was it? The mother of the twins? The mother of the twins. Miss Tasha, she was the director of it. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you're talking about. Yes.

Yes. I know what you're talking about. Yes. Yes. I know what you're talking about now. She was the director of that whole, like, of my episode. And when I say, man, she got an eye for it. She got the real gritty eye for it.

Yes. And one thing I can say about playing that role, I wanted to really grasp the gritty of the time piece. I like period pieces. I want to go back in time. I don't want to do none of this in 2015, 2022. Nothing that you got to hold your phone up talking about. My followers, I don't want me in a movie like that. Nothing about no followers. I want to go to some real period pieces where it's hitting people. Right. That's real drama where people are going to sit down and be like, well they good.

Right. So when I did BMF and the way it came out, man, I said I don't want them folks to see DC on fly. I want them folks to see the actual character that I'm playing. Right. A real folk on a hustler. And that's what they seen. Who's your favorite actor?

Hmm. I like the study for Wood. Even though I talk about the back of his neck a lot, I still like to study him. Everybody know Denzel and Will. A lot of people sleep on Cuba Gooding Jr. though. I like to go study real drama roles. Who else is a great actor that I like to go study real drama roles. Who else is a great actor that I like to just watch like that? Everything based on what Denzel play in. I kind of watch Train Today all the time. Just to get that edgy cutthroat in the streets, but you still clean feel.

I like to watch that a lot. I like to watch that a lot. I like to watch that a lot. You feel what I'm saying? But I want to say, I like to look at Cuba Gooding Jr. a lot, too, though. Right. Especially the old pieces that he used to do. And a lot of Samuel L. Jackson movies.

Samuel L. Jackson. You can't go wrong with Sam. He got about 199,000 movies. Yeah, Sam and everything. No cap. No cap. You're like, damn, where he playing at with Clint Ewood? Yeah, with Clint Ewood?

Damn. What athlete is DC Youngfly? What professional athlete is DC Youngfly? Deion Sutter. Deion Sutter, pride time, baby. That sauce right there. It's and the B-100 Vic. Mike Vic.

I don't really think he had no shot after the situation. After that situation. Man, man. I don't think people understand what Vic did to our city, man. I was in that full out. Oh, ooh. We had Jamal Anderson. We had all that was cool.

Oh, that was all that little time. We had a little Dirty Bird. Dirty Bird. That was good. That was all that little time. We had Dirty Bird. Dirty Bird. That was cool. That was cool. That was cool. Even when Deion came out, that was great.

But when we had Vic. Michael Vick experience was crazy. That shit down there give me teary-eyed. Niggas, niggas, we never wanted to go to no football game. I'm talking about that's all the city was talking about was Sunday football. Where you finna watch Vic at? Where you finna go to watch Vic? Yep.

And Vic would show out every game. I don't care if he having a bad game. Yep. Man, he just was going to show out, bro, and we ain't never seen like an elite dynamic player like that. I ain't never heard of him. I ain't never seen him. By no tailgate, now they talking about, they talking about tailgate. I'm like, what the? I don't never seen no battle. By the way, tailgate, now they talking about tailgate. I'm like, whoa!

I don't even know what tailgate was. Four were watching that nigga outside the stadium who couldn't even get in. They across the street. DJ Hyde, but great impact he had, bro. Man, when I said, I ain't never seen nothing like it. I couldn't really see Jordan like that, but I was a youngin'. I couldn't

see none of the elite superstars for real, because I'm a child. Right. This was my first elite super. Right. With A.I. Yes. But I was catching the end of it until I actually understood what was going on. Right. But when I actually knew what this 03, 04 prime Michael

Vick is all I know about. Every Sunday. Tune in. Watch. Yeah. And he was the most dynamic athlete I've ever seen him play. I read that you read that you didn't get the part for Coming to America 2. Right. You wanted that? Yeah. Why not? Good money. Be around all them

good people. All them A-list actors. Hell yeah, I want to be in there. Who don't? Eddie Murphy. What up, Ed? You feel me? But it was like even though I did it, the step, the proper steps that I was taking, it doesn't matter.

You're still in the facility. Right. You're there. You feel what I'm saying? And it was a way to show the people that even when you don't get picked, you can still be happy for somebody. Right. This is their time. Right.

This is their time to shine. Right. We still got a W because at the end of the day, it was a big black movie and all the stars was in there. Let's salute the movie. You think what I'm saying? But I did read for the part and I did read for the part for Jazz and for Bella. But I didn't get that either. But they got to know that this is the game. That's how it is. But do those experiences of you not getting the part motivate you even more? It's like, you know what?

Yes. One of these days, they're going to have me read for a part in a big movie, and I'm going to get it. Yes. Because at the end of the day, people don't understand. It's a big situation. It's a union with how anything come together. When I say union, that means somebody on your team

that's fighting for you. Right. So, if the director or the casting agent or anybody that's on the opposite side of where you're trying to go. Right. It's not fighting for you, plus you doing the work yourself. Right. You know this. It's all about relationships and resources. Right. Exactly.

All right, you folk already got who they really want over there, for real, for real. Right. It don't matter if he was better or I was better, you folk already got who they really want over there, for real, for real. It don't matter if he was better or I was better. They already got somebody who they really want. You see what I'm saying? So it's like, at the end of the day, I want to continue fighting, but by them seeing me in auditions and my name keep coming across, it's just going to end up saying, well, goddamn,

we're going to have to give them a role one of these days. Is there a role that you turned down you wish you hadn't? Hell no. You accept it all. And they say, that you turned down you wish you hadn't? Hell no. You accept it all. And they say, really, they say you got to... No, I tell you that. I didn't say I wish I had.

I turned down Undercover Brother 2. What? Because I was right, literally right after House... How Hot You. So, you know,

I'm always about elevation. Right. I'm all about elevation and, you know, I'm always about elevation. I'm all about elevation, and, you know, they were just coming with the same paycheck. Like, literally the same one. Once I did this, they was like, he got the same paycheck. I was like, no. This was my point in time in the game

where I had to learn to turn nine months. And I told my agent, I was like, man, we can do the move if y'all really want to. If y'all really want to. We can do all the cover brother, too. They like, no, now we have to movie. If y'all really want to. We can do All the Cubs Brothers, too. They like, no, now we have to show them that it's not about the bridge. Right. You have a brand.

They're not going to keep coming at you with remakes. Same. Then you're going to be typecasting and all. You're going to be the nigga who do all the remakes. Right. You want to do another movie, another lookalike? We got the perfect lookalike. Right.

That's me. I'm just another nigga who look like a nigga in the old movies. Dimash, you had an opportunity when Nick Cannon went through what he went through. Right. They were going to replace him.

Allegedly. Allegedly. Mm-hmm. With you. Keep grabbing my water, bro. You see that cube? It ain't going nowhere. I just...

They were going to replace him with you. Mm-hmm. And you say, nah. There are not very many people that would have turned that down. Right. Because that's a bigger paycheck. That's bigger, you know, probably show credit. Right.

And you say, nah, my man been too good to me. I can't do him like that. See, one thing about how the industry work, they send little tricks to see would you or would you not. Right. So I never got on the phone with nobody, and they was negotiating or whatever. But it was an interview, and somebody said,

hey, man, you know, there's talks and whoop, whoop, whoop. You know, they want you to whoop, whoop, whoop. And would you take his position? I'm like, nah, nah. And let this be the interview to tell everybody, whoever they need to tell to, I'm not taking no position because whatever's going, I got to support my brother in whatever's going on.

Whatever he got going on, I just got to support him. You feel what I'm saying? I'm not taking no position from somebody who put me on. Right. Who does that? Right. Not over here in this community, not in the black community. We don't do that. You feel what I'm saying? So it was like, I had to be there at all points of time and I just had to

ride the situation out. And here we are today, Wild N' Out back on, Wild N' Out tour going crazy, and we just shot another season and got two more seasons that we finna do. How difficult? Wild N' Out, because you guys are right there. And you know, y'all bagging on each other. Right. How difficult is it just to come off the cuff? Woo.

Because you got to bring it. That's one of the greatest improv shows I've ever been on. You feel what I'm saying? Because it teaches you to stay on your toes at all times. Because you on stage with all these different people. And they with it. They is with all the fuck shit. And they tang you up left and right. So you have to be on point. And that's why I love this show because it's a family oriented show. From the dude who's on the camera, from the dude who's carrying the ropes for the camera. Everybody is a family. So once we got kicked off air,

you could feel like our family was kind of like disrupted a little bit. You see what I'm saying? But it was like this show right here actually feed a lot of people. And when we get on stage, bro, just being on that stage with your friends, bro, it's like you can't do nothing but have fun. I just heard you say that, you know, Nick's your guy. You trying to catch him with kids? Man, I'm trying to get 10.

Hopefully I can get that. As long as they work. However long I can work, I'm trying to get 10. 10? 10. I need to have big old legs. Your old lady good with that? Mm-hmm.

She's old enough. Thank you, baby. She's old enough. Actor, rapper. Jolio. Actor, rapper. Mm-hmm. Who's the greatest actor, rapper of all time? A rapper, actor of all time. Rapper, actor?

You got to give it to Ice Cube. Better than Will? Better than LL? I'm just asking. I'm just asking. How many albums Will have? Will have some albums now. He got some albums, or do we know him for it? Actually, now, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

his acting career is starting to go crazy for real for real. Yeah, yeah. He getting the look, if he would have gotten looks back then. What about 50? Now see, now I look at you. Now you got to sit down and scratch your head. Now you talking about- No, because I'm going to be 100 because even before I.A.Q., Tupac had that on lock.

Yeah, Tupac, yeah. Tupac had that on lock. We talking about dramatic role. Juice- Yeah, Tupac, yeah. Tupac had that on lock. We talking about Dramatic Road, Juice. Poetic J. Poetic, like, Juice was like a real all-time, like, damn, you don't even see Tupac for real.

You see a whole other person. Man, that question hard, man. When you start bringing up people and shit, and then everybody got a substitute. Everybody good. LL good.

Shit. Ice T-ass good. God damn, shit. Everybody good. T.I. good, too. Shit. Everybody good. T.I. good too. Shit. You know what I want you to do? What?

Ah, yeah. Man, I only get four. You only get four? I only get four. Four. Damn.

That Craig, I ain't been on the road with OG, but man, that nigga's a killer. He's a goat. Like, I ain't never seen nobody do this the way he do it.

Cat with him. Cat? Cat. Cat. How you left Chappelle? You know, Chappelle ain't on your thing right now. Chappelle is lit. He's a goat.

You said my Rushmore. Yeah. He's my... You can... Who your fuck with? Nah, nah, nah. That ain't me. I ain't no comedian.

I'm talking about... You got Robin Harris. Yeah. This is... Well, I mean,. That ain't me. I ain't no comedian. I'm talking about, you got Robin Harris. Yeah. This is. Well, I mean, for me, Eddie Murphy. Bernie Mac. Eddie Murphy. Them two together is Israel.

Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor got to be on any mountain. Richard Pryor is the up east. Richard Pryor is the standard which everybody's measured to. He set the tone. You see a little bit of Richard Pryor, everybody. Yeah. I don't even care. You also see a little bit of Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. He tried to be like him. A lot of them. But it wasn't just that he didn't. That wasn't his style. But it wasn't that. To be honest, it was just it added essence to his comedy. Yes.

The facial expressions, the tone, the way he would use it. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah. The way he'd be like, how's it going, boy? Yeah. I'm like, ooh, that boy would use it. You feel what I'm saying? The way he'd be like, oh, go on, boy. Like, I used to, like, all day, I'm like, ooh, that boy, that good. You feel me? But that's my mouth. That's my mouth.

What about yours? All right. I would go Richard Pryor. Okay. Eddie Murphy. Okay. Chappelle. Okay.

Come on, man. I'm going Bernie Mac too Bernie You can't Bernie I keep burning for lads F'n folk think It's still a game I'm like

Nigga I still got Bernie in the back But it's so many But when you think about The game really I mean There's so many The game is open

Yeah But I don't know how you have A Mount Rushmore If Eddie think about? The game really? I mean, there's so many. The game is open. Yeah. But I don't know how you have a Mount Rushmore if Eddie and Richard's not on it. Okay, so who you... Okay, that tall sports, who you think killing in the game right now? Who the best NBA player? For me, the best, I would say Giannis is the best

NBA player. Really? Yeah. Right now? Yeah. Why you say? Because he, I mean, two-time MVP, defensive player of the year, coming off the finals. MVP last year dropped a 50-piece in the clothing game. Right. I mean, he's just getting better and better every year. And that's not a

knock on his head. Physicality. Yeah. He's dominating. Yeah. I mean, look, there are stars. Right. There are stars that can have superstar moments. Right. And then there there are stars. Right. There are stars that can have superstar moments. Right. And then there are superstars. Right.

Giannis, LeBron, KD, Luka, Jokic, Jameed. Those are superstars. Right. And there are stars that can have superstar moments. Those are two different things. So you got stars, which means stats. Stars. You got superstars.

They're like, okay, I see why you're in the NBA. Yeah, they like, when you're not going to be able to tell the story without talking to them. See, I like excitement. I like excitement. The B-100, LeBron grew on me. I'm not saying I wasn't a LeBron fan. I always like excitement. He took it business. He took NBA

business. And he took control of it. And when you see stats, for anybody to be a LeBron hater right now, you're just a fool. They just hate. You just said that they hate. You're pure hating. He's top two or three in everything.

We're talking about almost everything. And still maybe got three years left to still add on to his stats. And he's probably the most. Is he the number one highest player in NBA? No, he ain't the highest player. But he's going to be probably by the time he retires, he's going to be the first guy to reach a billion-dollar status. Straight out of high school. Right now, he's the greatest of all time.

But see, I like moments. I like somebody that talk trash on the show. I like a Kevin Garnett attitude. So you like trash talking? I want you to be able to control. You got to understand, this arena is energy. If you can control this energy, you are now not only coming to see you play, but they're coming to see you perform.

You feel what I'm saying? So like a Russell Westbrook, one of my favorites to see play because he just went to play. I tell you what, can we have Trey Young? We'll trade him to you for that. No, Trey ain't going nowhere, but I know how ATL is. Man, listen, y'all how ATL is, man. Man, listen.

Y'all need to do my boy right. Y'all need to build a team around him. Don't let him go. So what are they going to do with LeBron? What you talking about? The Lakers? Yeah. I don't know.

That's y'all's problem. You just had some idea. You just had some idea. I mean, he really need to come to Atlanta if he tired. Who? LeBron. No, he ain't coming to Atlanta. Why? That's where he need to come to Atlanta if he tired. Who? LeBron? No, he can't come to Atlanta.

Why? That's where he need to come to if he tired. Because y'all did all that. And talk about Russell Westbrook, he had the most, I think he was the number one player in all the little stack they had in LA. Like the most points and more rebounds and all that. That was fake. Yeah, that was fake.

Damn, that messed up. Yeah. I did my butt dirty. Because He didn't. That was fake. Yeah. That messed up. Yeah. I did my butt dirty. Because I posted it. It was fake. Yeah. Now. The rap. Dude, what is it that you don't do?

Right, man. You know, God gave me all this talent. I got to use it. I've been rapping. I've been doing music since a child. I played in a band. I was in the church choir. What instrument you play?

Oh, man, let's break it down. I played the trumpet band. I was in the church choir. What instrument you play? Oh, man, let's break it down. I played trumpet, baritone, saxophone. I'm a percussionist, so I played cymbals, xylophone, snare drum, tenor drum. I mess around with a little bass drum. And I played set, like when we had like a jazz band and stuff like that. I played the set in school. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. I'm a musician.

This is what I do. People don't understand. When you're in a band, the percussion is in the back. Right. So when you're in the stands, you're not knowing that you're doing it anyway. As a percussionist, I got to know everybody that's in front of me. I got the flutes. I got the clarinet.

I got the trombone. I got the trumpets. I got the saxophone, and I got the tuba. Right. I know all they parts. I know all they parts. Right. Even when I'm playing up here, and we all the way up here in the stand. Right. I can hear the flutes all the way up here to the tubas, and I know they parts.

I know when we got to come in. So by me being musically inclined over the years, that grew with me. I started getting into the studio in 2012 and now I got 10 EPs out right now. Rob Markman Wow. Rob Markman This young Dolph, you were in one of his videos. His passing in a very similar situation that what you could have lost your life, you and your brothers

could have lost your life. Right. What's the question? You think about it? Oh, hell yeah. It's, it's, it's,

it's life, you know, and you just got to stay prayed up. You got to keep your energy right, keep the people that's around you energy right, make sure that they okay.

And, you know, just don't put yourself in a position where you can potentially get hurt. You feel what I'm saying? That's why I like to keep great energy. Do you still have the same homeboys that you came up with around you? Or did you have? Majority of them here. Majority of them here. I ain't really no new friend.

You know how people are. You got new people around you. You know. You just acting new because you not around me no more. Right. Everybody that's still here is the same people that was here when you was here. Right. You just new with your new friend.

Right. That's why everything is new to you because you not around the old shit you used to be. Right. So eventually some friends going to fade away and some friends going to stay. But you technically like if people are not on the same page as you in life, I think we have attachment problems. Right. We think people are supposed to be with us for the rest of our life. Hell no.

No. Hell no. Listen, the reset button is A-OK. It's OK to hit the reset button. If shit ain't going good, hit the reset button. Change the surroundings. Change everything that you're doing, because maybe that's just God telling you look You're just going down the wrong path

That's bad energy. That's a ride. So sometimes you just got the you basically that's really all you gotta do You stay prayed up make sure that people around you is not really like saying likes on the same page I just have a purpose in life, right? How do we how do we end this this violence? I, because a lot of times great rappers, they get senseless violence. The B-100, I come from the 90s, the beginning 90s, and we primarily grew up off a structure. And like I said, you remember what I was saying, speaking out of turn and all that.

Right. You weren't talking unless you was being talked to. Or you with your friends. Right. Grown folks were talking. Right. Little kids need to have

their little kid conversation over there. Right. Now, everybody talking. Right. And it's a lot of jibber-jabber and ain't really no doctrines and people are really living no life or no morals no more.

So I feel like they got to really see the old heads tap back into it. Not only that, people that the younger generation are looking up to, seeing that it takes communication in order for us to build a nation. Right. We got to have some form of infrastructure so we can sit down and be like, look, these are the guidelines. These are the rules. These are the protocols. Everybody can the rules. These are the protocols. Everybody can't do what they want to do. Right.

When you do something wrong, we sit down as a unit, as a community, like, look, how can we resolve this problem? Right. So it won't get further. Because ain't none of this shit really this serious. Right. Because I'm going to be on the side like niggas really scared to get punched in the face. Right. Who really got a problem with who?

You got a problem with him? That's it. How can we solve this problem? Right. Because you having a problem with him means all of them got a problem with all of them. Right. So you see how this small little interaction affects. It's too much.

Right. So we got to have these sit down really as a unit, a unified community to be like, whatever it is. It's just like with politics. Before they pass a bill, they see how they talk about it. Right. Anything they want to do in this situation as a nation or this community, it's a committee. They talk about it. Right.

Before anything get happening. And when that community talk about it, they send it to another community and see kind of what type of, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, what's the word I'm looking for? You have a subcommittee and you have a committee. You got a subcommittee, but see what type of...

They send it to the committee and then they talk about it. They can have an agreement on something. You feel what I'm saying? They got to compromise on something. Even though I don't like you and you don't like me,

we can still have respect for each other. It's not to hurt no goddamn body. Yeah. That ain't, That ain't hard. That don't boost your ego

or your status because you hurt someone. That means, okay, you just hurt some damn body. You didn't have the tools to communicate. You don't know how to talk. That's what that sounds like. You don't know how to talk. So I feel like that's what we got to do as a unit. Who are your three top ATL rappers right now? And then I want you to your three top ATL rappers right now?

And then I want you to give me the ATL GOATs. The three top ATL rappers right now. Lil Baby, right now. Lil Baby. He just received his 100th, top 100 chart song. That's a lot. Damn, that's a lot. That boy going crazy.

to keep Freddie Freeman. Dave, I told you my city, this is what my city do. We bring in greats and we let them go. I don't know how to take care of nobody.

That's why I keep telling the hoes, man, don't let Trae Young go, please, man. Keep him. Yeah. Please. God, you know they did

that with Dominique. Do you remember the time when we had Paul Millsap? Yeah. Al Horford. Yeah. Jeff Teague. Yeah.

Ooh, yeah. Joe Johnson. Mm-hmm. Suffer Lotion. Yeah, and I had a little squad. But y'all weren't winning nothing with that. You weren't winning nothing.

What? You know at the end of the day. With this energy that we got now? DC. At the end of the day, D.C. D.C. Can I say them again?

Paul Mills. Jesse. Cephalosian. You got to have a superstar. Al Horford. You got to have a superstar. We had superstars. Oh, yes.

You had a star. We had. Y'all won 60 games and got swept. I don't need for you to do all that. That ain't what I came here for. That ain't what I came here for. That ain't what I came here for. I would not let you do my team like that. What about the Falcons? Y'all had

a 28-3 lead. Y'all had the Super Bowl. I'm done talking. I'm done talking. How lit would ATL be? I don't want to be here anymore. DC, how lit would ATL would have been with the Super Bowl? Hey, listen to me.

Y'all were ready to celebrate. That game brings a lot of emotion. I ain't never really got mad over a game in my life. I was around so many Patriots fans, right? I'm in there talking cash money shit. I'm in there, what? Everybody shut up.

It's 28-3. I'm in there. People don't even, they ain't even looking at the game no more. I'm like,, what? Everybody shut up. It's 28-3. I'm in there. People don't even, they ain't even looking at the game no more. I'm like, is it just me? Is it just me? Everybody quiet. By the third quarter, they start, the Patriots start doing some Tom Brady Patriots shit.

And they just, this is when I knew something was up. When nigga caught the football on his helmet over his head I said some shit finna go down I said these boys up to something I said I don't know what it is but I need the fourth quarter to get to zero now it need to get to I don't care

what it do we need to have an accelerated clock on it need to be mad in game now we need to get to zero them niggas want to score after scoring after scoring. Now, I don't know. Can you tell me, is it politics in football? No. Y'all

would just... All you had to do was just run the football. Okay. Okay. Okay. Since you said it. Since you said it, Mr. Shaw. All we had to do was run the football. Yeah. Well, why they stop playing Freeman? He got hurt. Shaw, all we had to do was run the football. Yeah. Well, why'd they stop playing Freeman? He got hurt. No, he didn't.

No. You know who got hurt? No, no, no. No, no, no. You know who got hurt? The other one. We weren't using him no way. No.

Why Freeman? No. Freeman missed the block. The high tower ended up hitting Matt Ryan and fumbling. They got the football. So you're going to blame him for him popping Matt Ryan's ass? Matt Ryan should have tucked that damn ball. No, no.

He got the ball. He pointed to him. When Hightower walks to the edge, he's a blitzer. He's coming to running back. He's got it. Okay, you're going to make a mistake. You're going to take him out of the game for that one goddamn mistake? They didn't take him out.

They left him in. Who? Freeman. He didn't get the ball no more. Freeman had 100 plus yards. He was playing good. He was playing good. No, he had 100 plus yards in the first quarter

and didn't touch the ball no more after the first quarter. I'm sorry I brought that up. I know you did. But y'all got— Everybody got something to say about the Falcon and the 28-3. Don't you know? This is how Craig knew all the Saints here. They got a banner. And we wasn't even

playing them niggas. They got a banner. Soon as you get out the the airport. Soon as you come out the exit. It's a big ass banner. With Falcon and Patriot. 283. Remember this? I said we wasn't even playing y'all niggas. They ain't got nothing to do with this.

They ain't got nothing to do with y'all ain't got nothing to do with y'all. Y'all hate us this bad. Oh. Yeah, y'all really hate each other. Man, listen. No, we really do love each other on the low. We got a love-hate. Listen.

Yeah. Listen, you can't come to Atlanta and talk about New Orleans if you ain't from New Orleans. Right. You can't be from nowhere else and talk about New Orleans people. That's our job. Right. And you can't go to New Orleans and talk ain't from New Orleans. You can't be from nowhere else and talk about New Orleans people. That's our job. And you can't go to New Orleans and talk about anybody from ATL if you ain't from ATL. There's something about that.

Only we can do that. We got a love-hate relationship, but we love each other. But I don't like that battle though. Tattoos. You got a bunch of them. You got one that prominent right between your brow. Blook it. What is that one?

DC. It's an organization. It stands for Da Crew. Yeah, that's why my name. My name Young Fly, but it's Da Crew Young Fly, DC Young Fly. I got it on my forehead when my big brother passed in 2010, R.P. Richards. He was like the head honcho, the reason why everybody was together.

If he busts a left, we bust a left. If he busts the right, we bust the right. And we were kids, man. And we was literally just getting out of high school, 18 at the time, and he ended up getting shot, got killed. And we was children. People don't understand, children get traumatized at an early age when they lose friends at an early age. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman That's not the norm. It's normal now you see kids getting killed laughing and writing, which is not still normal. It's still crazy.

Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman But back then, the goal was, the crazy part about it, this is a small goal. It was at least get to 25. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman Get to 25, it's like, all right, you're there. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman Stop the young shit. Be a grown man. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman But it was like, all right, you're there. Stop the young shit.

Be a grown man. Right. But it was like, nah, man, we was literally getting out of high school and when he passed, a lot of us was kind of like, just...

Time to grow up. It was time for us to grow up, but we was throwed off. Right. We wasn't, we couldn't really quite grasp it. That's why

things didn't start going good until I was 21. I sit down with D.C. Young Fly in three years from now. Where's he going to be? What's his story? I'm going to have some more kids. Just mad at these kids.

Nah, man. I'm going to be in my executive bag, man. My executive bag. I'm only asking to build resources and to build this unit so we can actually work together. I see a lot of good in a lot of people. Right. And if we don't have those people to execute their potential talent or the spark you see in them, it's like, how can we continue to keep the

culture going? Like this hip hop culture, this is a part of the hip hop culture. Anything that I'm doing is a part of the hip hop culture. So anything that we can add to to keep it to grow, why not? I know you don't want to work all your life. I don't want to work all my life. Like you said earlier, I can't even be home with my children. I want to be able to sit in and map out, be methodical about everything. You feel what I'm saying?

Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman And I see good in so many people and I'm like, you know what? Damn, if you just had somebody to believe in you, you'll be all right. I'm telling you, that's all it takes is just somebody on the other side to fight for you. Rob Markman Right. Rob Markman That's it. That's where I'm going to be in three years. I'm going to really be on my wheel packer sitting down like really pushing like the next, whoever the next

is, man, I'm going to grab them, man. I'm going to get them straight up. I don't care where they is. I don't care where they... I don't care if I'm going to put you in there or another movie.
