He's been around people like Eddie Murphy, Charlie Murphy, had beef with them, had beef with Puff Daddy, survived it all. He already pulled out a gun on Shug and all that. And all that. When people say the gangster of comedy, I always think of him. Today, you know I like to be good in my research, so I hit everybody that I would think of, respectful journalists, and I ask, you know I like to be good in my research. So I hit everybody that I would think of respectful journalists and I asked,

you know anything? You know, what's up with TK? And every single person said, he's the gangster of comedy. And then he turned his life around and he's living righteous. And he's funny as a motherfucker. Recently, I just went to his show.

I was in stitches. Let's make some noise for T. To the motherfucking cat. Yeah. Let's sign him up. Let's sign him up. We got gigs. We got gigs here. That's what I'm talking about.

This is the shows over there. That's what I came down here for. That's a glass. This is it. That's a shot glass. Thank you. Good night. I just wanted to get a shirt.

You can't buy this. Who raised you niggas? Who raised you niggas? Who raised you niggas? Now, TK, what are you a drinker? Now, I swore when you was at the show, I swore you was drinking vodka. You said I'm wrong. I was drinking Grand Marnier. Oh, were you?

So it wasn't clear? Yeah, no, it was a duck. It was a cognac. It depends on my mood. Okay. To me, I felt like you was a vodka drinker. No? No.

Okay. It's like it was a little offer. No? No. Okay. Your psyche was a little off. Okay. Yeah, all right. Because you know what? When real niggas drink brown. Exactly. Real niggas.

Let's make some noise for real niggas drinking brown. I call that look at me juice. Let's make some noise for me asking for which champagne is cold. Can you find out which champagne is cold? That's what's up. That's what's up. So let's break this down. How long have you officially been doing comedy?

Before I ask you that, at what age did you know that you had the ability to make people laugh? Well, I started comedy when I was 25 years old. So comedy to me is not like most comedians. Comedy to me was a hustle. I saw that I could make money doing what I was doing. So I took it and flipped it and became good at it. And then, you know, once you know that you can make money at something, you know, it became therapeutic. You're pretty the big boys over there.

You know, it became therapeutic. It changed my life in so many ways because I had, like, my mother, my brothers, and I'm all died. So you said 23. I'm sorry to cut you off. I'm 25. 25. Yes. So you didn't. I'm sorry to cut you off. I said 25. 25. Yes. So you didn't know, like in your teens, you had to appear as a young kid?

I had people laughing, but I wasn't a class clown. You know, I was a straight-A student. You know, I went to the Olympic trials in Tracker Field, out of Snyder High School in New Jersey. Because you're from New Jersey. I'm from New Jersey. And then you moved to Compton? No. Then what happened... Oh, thank you so much. I. I'm from New Jersey. And then you moved to Compton? No. Then what happened...

Oh, thank you so much. I came down here for the gifts. Come on. I came down for the gifts. How many of these are mine? I get two. I get two. Take your shot glass out.

I'm going to pour it for you. All I need before we go, everybody has to sign this for me. Okay, all right. And put the date on it. All right, we'll do that for you, brother. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. We usually drink those when we get here. Now, one thing I want to say before the show starts, since y'all getting money, the next

time I come on the show, can you give me a better motherfucking chair? Oh, you know what we do? We try to get a chair sponsor. Take a listen. I'm an old motherfucker. I'm going to be honest. This is hurting my hand. That's a better chair.

That's a better chair. And it's squeaking. You got a better chair. Let me tell you something. This is our engineer Hazardous Sounds. It has the better chance. That's the better chance. And it's squeaking. You got a better chance. Let me tell you something. This is our engineer Hazardous Sounds. Hazardous used to have a studio. Right.

And it has a studio everywhere the AC worked besides the vocal booth. That's funny as hell. And the crazy shit is when you, so you would never bullshit in the hazardous vocal booth.

Yeah. Like you would bullshit outside the lounge but when you came in to do your verse, you would do your verse and get out. So when we first came here and we all sat back and thought about the chairs, I was like, these people are going to get the best interview because they're going to be uncomfortable and wanting to stop.

But at the same time, they're going to want to give the best interview. Busta came on here and was like, I want to do a better interview than such and such and such. But salute to you, TK, motherfucking Kirkland. Yes, sir. For being on the Drake chat. Yes, yes, yes. We've been trying to do this for months, man. Salute.

Make some noise for TK, motherfucker. So, 23. Or 25, excuse me. 25. 25. So, what made you say, I'm going to do this now? A man hired me for a birthday party. Oh, shit.

I did the birthday party. He balled the money up. How did he know you were already a comedian? I did a comedy show, like an audition for beginners at the comedy store. And that particular night, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre came to see me perform.

Because I met Eazy at the Bobby Brown concert. So what year is this? This is 1988. So this is like the height Brown concert. So what year is this? This is 1988. How much cocaine was that? So this is like the height of NWA. Yeah, this is the height of NWA. Eazy just came out when we won Eazy. Hold on.

How much cocaine was at that Bobby Brown party? You know what? It wasn't a party. It was a concert. And how much cocaine was there? It probably was way in the back room. You ain't seen it? Yeah, I didn't see the cocaine.

Oh, fuck. But he was with Tina Marie. And I saw this little motherfucker walking with a jerry curl. Mm-hmm. And they put the song on, because they didn't have comedians during that time. Mm-hmm. It was intermission. You were the first one, right?

The only comic that ever did stand-up. Mm-hmm. Well, most of them, you just got a gentleman named Alex Thomas that did it. Mm-hmm. But I did most of all the major tours. He was in my video. Probably so. Yeah, I'm talking about the short.

Yeah, the short dude. Yeah, short, out of time. He was in our video. Probably so. Yeah, he was in our video. That's my man. So I asked Easy to go on tour with him. He said he needed to see me perform. Him, Ice Cube. Oh, so you asked Easy.

Yeah, everybody I ever went on tour with I went to. After you went on, you did this party. You said you did a party. Somebody hired you for a party. Right.

And then Easy saw you at that party? No, Easy saw me at the audition. Yeah, saw me at the audition at the comedy store. Right. So the guy was there, and EZ and him was there the same night. The man loved me so much, he hired me for a party like about a week later.

I did the party, balled the money up, and I didn't look at it. I just put it in my pocket. I'm driving all the way home. When I got home, I opened it. It was $700. Ah, this is it. What was your expected? 10 minutes of work. What was your expected? Like a couple hundred? Like a couple hundred. 200. Yeah, but $700 yeah this is it work who's you spending like a couple hundred like a couple hundred $700 okay so now describe this you step to easy mm-hmm

and this is cuz this was like the first time a West Coast artist was making a national tour absolutely right I believe Run DMC. Was the people. Yup. LL. Right. But nobody from the West Coast. Nobody from the West Coast.

Ice-T wasn't yet? Ice-T was early too. He was okay. Yeah. Yeah. He was, but he did, NWA put everybody on the map. Yeah. But Ice-T was working, but then it was after that.

A national tour. Right. Right. So you stepped to Eazy and you say what? You need to let me open up for you. I'm just gangster national tour. Right, right, right. So you stepped to Easy and you say what? You need to let me open up for you. I was just gangster with it. You know?

But during that time, I was so confident in my material that I did that to everybody. You know, I did that to Teddy Rowdy and Guy. I did that to Frankie Beverly and Maze.

I did that shit with The Whispers. You talked about Frankie Beverly and Maze. I did all that with everybody. You know, thugged out Frankie Beverly. I did all that with everybody. You know, Keith Sweat.

Mary J. Blige. The list go on, you know. And Patti LaBelle. But, but, but, let's just be clear.

But you thugged out Patti LaBelle. Everybody come out. It's just that I represent myself. See, I'm an old agent and old manager

even to this day. To this day. To this day. So, I do everything. I'm the valet I get all the money but everybody

you described were great but they were gangsters like Eazy-E and Dr. Dre at this time so I just

wanted to kind of picture this moment so you told him let me be on tour he goes he couldn't he said

I'm going to let you see you before he said yo I'm going to come he was one of the coolest motherfuck, I'm going to let you see you before. Yeah, he said, yo, I'm going to come see you. He was one of the coolest motherfuckers I've ever met, my man. One of the coolest. And I learned so much during that tour, because that's the first time I took a bitch with me on tour.

Because I've been a player my whole life. So I roll up on a girl in Kansas City and take her with me. So we get to the next city. I'm the first act. I've got to be at the mic check. I'm the first act I gotta be at the mic check I notice the girl didn't come back

right away she was with N.W.A. no she was at the hotel I'm not knowing what's going on two o'clock in the morning easy knocks on my door

he said come here come here come here I come out he said yo Ren fucked your girl I can't ask him Ren fucked your girl. I can't ask him. Ren fucked your girl.

And he always for Ren fucking. And every time I see Ren to this day, I got a little slight little attitude. Not that I'm hating on him. That was the first time that ever happened to me. And I know what that feels like. You know what I'm saying? So Eazy falls in the hallway. Rolls all the way, just laughing his ass off.

So I'm trying to be a man. I had to throw the bitch out the room. Because that's what motherfuckers are supposed to do. Crazy story. Crazy story. So how was that role? Because I also seen an interview with you just describing that tour just saying that um because um is that the same tour from

the movie in the movie i seen you do an interview and you started to describe that tour so that was that tour that was that tour absolutely okay describe that tour and then we want to get into a how to see the thing that they didn't show I thought would have been phenomenal when we first went on tour this one boomboxes was still out so we're on the plane and Dre is playing the shit in the way album no just playing his music in the plane in the plane loud as fuck loud as fuck the flight attendant says, you have to turn that down. And Eazy and all said, fuck you, bitch. You laughing,

but this will go down in the next 10 minutes. Please fasten seatbelts. We are descending and we're making an emergency landing. Oh, shit. They get us all off

the motherfucking plane in Arizona. Wow. But Eazy's so caked up, he just bought everybody more tickets and we got on another flight. Boom, it was gone. Great story. I would stay to put that in the movie. Let's make someaked up. Right. He just bought everybody more tickets and we got on another flight. Boom, it was gone.

Great story. I would stay to put that in the movie. Let's make some noise for EZ. EZ is the truth, yo. So, besides that, what else in that movie

did you think that they missed? Because you was around early, early in that movie. Everything about that movie was on point. Okay. Everything about

Stray Dog Compton was on point because Q did it from his point of view. And Drake. And Drake did it for him. Right. And I saw everything that happened. I was there the night Ice Cube left when they didn't pay him his money.

I knew when that happened. I saw when Dr. Drake's brother had died. But I was a little bit more familiar with them. So even though they had their little freak session and all that, I was just the player of the group. I had to go in my room, have my bitch or whatever. I'm not going to do all the group fucking and all that kind of shit because I'm a one-on-one type of guy.

They were kids. They were kids, and it's good to see them grow. Because you've got to be like 600, right? Yeah, I'm like 600. You're doing 600. You's pretty good, 600. You're looking good, though. Thank you so much. You're looking good.

So, all right, so now this tour. So now, what the fuck does TK, T to the motherfucking K, do to get kicked off of a fucking NWA? But you got kicked off that tour? I got kicked off that tour. Holy shit. So here's the crazy shit. How do you get kicked off? Because they said

that I was worse than the group. They said I was worse than N.W.A. Right, right. So we're in... Your act or... My act. Okay. So we're in...

What type of shit you was there? Cincinnati, Ohio. It's not N.W.A. No, this is great. So you got to remember, this is before profanity really was able to take off. Everything that was happening...

Luke is the one that did it. All this is like, we setting the tone for everything. There was a movie that came out in 1988 called Mississippi Burnin'. I remember that. And Mississippi Burnin', at the show,

I said, all the black people stand up. They stood up. I said, all the white people stand up. I said, y'all seen the movie Mississippi Burnin'? I said,

hang them motherfuckers. But the promoters who are sensitive because of NWA because they was getting contributions from the FBI said, T.K. Kirkland is trying to site a riot.

So they banned me for four cities. Wow. That's what happened. What four cities? You remember? There's a Bible Belt? I don't remember the cities

but I know after Cincinnati I know the next one after that was Indiana. So I never got, but that would have been a phenomenal thing for me. But I made the, what's so important about it and people need to know, that night I was the star of America because I was on the 11 o'clock news as being this hip-hop comedian who stole the shine from one of the hottest groups in the world, N.W.A. And we're more controversial than them at the moment. We're more controversial,

absolutely, absolutely. So let me just ask you, and then I want to get right back into this N.W.A. question. Yes. Do you feel like you're a first hip-hop comedian? Oh yeah, definitely.

Like we have a good friend of the show, Jack Thriller. Yeah, Jack is my man. People consider Jack a hip-hop comedian. Yeah, Jack is my man. People consider Jack a hip hop comedian. Jack is for the new generation. I just happen to be around for a long time. I like what Jack does because I always used to tell Jack he wasn't funny. But yeah, I'm being honest.

And not in a mean way. Jack wasn't funny, but what I try to tell comedians in this business, you got to find your own niche and make it work for you. And Jack used to go with a name called Honey Bun in Atlanta. And I said, yo nigga, you can't be walking around this shit named no motherfucker Honey Bun, and you going to Atlanta

too, nigga? What the fuck? Honey Bun? So he changed his name, he worked hard, and now a motherfucker's a star. And in hip-hop, he's considered a hip-hop comedian. He's considered a hip-hop comedian, absolutely and now a motherfucker's a star and you consider he and and in hip-hop he's considered a hip-hop comedian he's considered hip-hop comedian absolutely you think that's a justice title um just do what i mean the world has changed since i started i think comedy and entertainment now you don't need much to be successful because everything has gotten um the

value of a lot of things have gone down. And what I mean by that is, the way the new generation is thinking is not the same as 10, 15 years ago. But social media has truly changed everything. This is why Donald Trump was able to pull off the biggest upset in the world because of the way people think. This is why the Kardashians are so phenomenal

because no one takes the time to really see what's going on as far as depth and quality of packaging. Oh, you said depth. Depth. I thought you said death. I'm like, yeah, no. They kill it, niggas. Like the quality. And you really got to give Flavor Flav the prop.

Yeah. He was the first motherfucker to start this shit. First with that one show with all the... And the thing about it was it came before that. And the thing about that, what fucked you up, is that you couldn't believe all them bitches was like a Flavor Flav. No, I'm keeping 100 Flavs with my nigga. I'm like, nigga, you know damn well them bitches really ain't love you.

These bitches was fighting over this nigga like he was Drake. I caught him pissing this nigga. Like, these bitches was fighting over this nigga like he was Drake. I called it pissing this nigga. Like, bitch, you was really tongue in flavor. Flay. And I heard he got like nine kids. Who is letting this nigga put his dick in my...

This is my point in my show. Who raised these bitches? You know, let's just see, like, the flame. The flame ain't supposed to be in that one. Pussy.

No, motherfucking way. These hoes don't know who they know. They fuck anybody. Big was out here killing them, too. Yeah, yo, yo. Big was out here

killing them, too. Who was? Biggie Smalls. Yeah, Biggie was doing the book for Biggie Hairstyle. Yeah, style. Oh, that nigga was weird. He didn't need social media.

He didn't need that. He just had skills. He had the motherfucking Versace shirt. Nigga, I ain't seen that. I saw a nigga the last week with a Versace style. Oh, that nigga was weird. He didn't need social media. He didn't need that. He had the motherfucking Versace shirt. Nigga, I ain't seen that. I saw a nigga the last week with a Versace shirt. I said, nigga, I ain't seen one of them since Biggie was alive, nigga. But he was the Biggie-haired style, though.

You know, the New York Biggie. Well, Flavor Flavor had... No, no, no. I'm sorry. Let me ask you because... Now, I asked Fat Joe this. I said, yo, when you first laid eyes on Pun, did you know he was a star? And did you know how big he was going to be? So I have to ask you the same question because, you know, you were a comedian. You was known.

When you first looked at N.W.A., did you know that 20, 30 years later, these guys would be having this movie? Or did you just think it was just... I just thought it was probably just for the moment. No one knew where that was going. Did you think hip-hop was for the moment or just that group was for the moment? I don't think anyone really knew.

You understand what I'm saying? For me to say either way... Hip-hop or NWA? Both. Because everything was against hip-hop. Everything was against hip-hop but for it to have lasted this long and what you got to give credit to Ice Cube about

is that he outworked everybody that put him on. He worked out John Singleton. You know what I'm saying? He outworked every motherfucking body. And since I was such an introvert, I wish I'd have hung out with them more. See, because they loved me. But by me being

in the streets, I was hustling. My family really ran Junior Mafia out of Philadelphia. You know, James Cole and all that. He's my cousin. So I'm hustling on the street, still doing comedy, still confused, not knowing what I want to do, but I'm making mad motherfucking money. So I wasn't thinking about auditions and all that kind of shit because, to me, I didn't want to put my faith in the hands of a motherfucker telling me, yeah, you accepted in the TV show or you're in a movie. I was making too much money on the street to deal with that type of shit. So wherever the money was,

just like example, they got the name of Street After Me in my hometown in Jersey City, New Jersey. So when they called me, I turned it down. Oh, shit. I always turn shit down because if I'm about to lose money, I don't give a fuck.

So I'm driving, I'm talking to my daughter, I said't give a fuck. So I'm driving. I'm talking to my daughter. I said, yeah, you know, they asked to put a street after me. T.K. Kirkland Ave. And my baby said, Dad, you know, that's my name, too. So when she said that, you know, names on streets last forever. So I was like, you know, I called them back. Boom.

So it goes down February 25th. Let's make some noise for February 25th. Yeah, so my point is, you've got to play the hand that's dealt. call them back, boom. So it goes out February 25th. Let's make some noise for February 25th. My point is you got to play the hand that's dealt. So on that street, you could sell drugs and get shot. You can do whatever you want to do. In my head, I was already saying I could see niggas like, yo, meet me up on Kirkland

and Kirkland. So let me ask you something. There's a guy, I think his name is Capone Yes Gangsta of comedy Yes Has that title ever Like offended you

No see Because when I I had a bigger picture Than when Capone Started using gangsta of comedy Because I was saying it first And he started using But I wasn't using it

You know It was just a little bit I didn't want to be associated Being a gangster Right The reason why I didn't want To be associated being a gangster Because I really was a gangster. I didn't want to be associated being a gangster. The reason why I didn't want to be associated being a gangster is because I really was a gangster. And I didn't want to have nothing negative about me

as I moved through this journey that we're going on based on the past that I'm dealing with. Because I deal with a lot of senators. I deal with a lot of mayors. We heard you being political. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when he did that I thought it was cool

and I had nothing against it I think that was good for him I just didn't want to be a part of anything that said gangster so how do you with that being said how do you feel that I tell you

at least like seven people I hit all of them said he used to be a gangster he's a gangster like how do you feel do you ever grow out of like I hit, all of them said he used to be a gangster. He's a gangster. How do you feel? Do you ever grow out of like... I'm embarrassed. What's her name?

Drea. Drea. She said on the Breakfast Club, she said, don't after a while your whole list get deleted. Don't after a while... No. Your gangster... Apology, where you go? No, your gangster...

In a way, it's like credit. It's like credit. Bad credit. And the thing about credit, you can always fix your credit. Right. The thing about life, you can always fix your credit The thing about life You can always fix your life And the thing about

Anybody that's listening to this Whatever you're going through You just really grind Leave the women alone Until you really get on Your hustle and your grind You can really achieve So I left

I was fucking here and there But I had a goal And one of the goals Was peace of mind See once you understand And feel peace of mind You'll never let that go for no motherfucker. Ain't no money worth peace of mind. Exactly.

Peace of mind is worth it. Yes, everything. So I don't want nothing to do with being a gangster. Now, if you put me in a situation that I'm thinking about hurting you, I'm scared. Right. Because I know the consequences. Yes, sir. Because you know you're about to wallop.

Well, if you've been in front of a judge, if you've been in front of a judge, when you've been in front of a judge, when you've been in front of prosecutors, and they trying to fuck you over, I'm not really a true weed smoker. So I'm so sorry. Stay with you. Keep it with you. You can smoke Vaportini. And I try to tell

people not to pass blunts around because that's how a motherfucker psychologically turn gay. Yeah, stop it. No, because of the saliva. When niggas pass joints around and you start hallucinating, that's how all this grease just start, nigga. That's saliva shit.

That's saliva shit. That's saliva shit. I'm on the phone, Rob. I'm on the phone, Rob. Nigga, you driving, you parking around. I'm on the street. I'm looking at the niggas about, nigga. I feel like it's shot time.

Is it shot time? It's nigga. it's shot time. It's a shot time. It's a shot time. I'm going to take a shot of Columbia White. Columbia White? We don't got no shot glasses, though. TK good. You got shot glasses?

Yeah, you took away my little cup. Oh, this one? No, no, that's yours. Yeah, this is the ashtray. No, this is the ashtray, my brother. So, in comedy, we had Danny Garcia sit in the same seat that he was at, right? The boxer, Danny Garcia sit in the same seat that he was at, right? A boxer, Danny Garcia. And what he said, we asked him, how does a person start out being a boxer?

Yes. And he said that anybody can be a boxer. You just got to go, but you just got to, you know, pass a physical. No, no, he said to register as a boxer. Oh, to be a great boxer. Okay. Yeah, it's the work. Anybody can be a boxer. Right, right, right.

You know what I'm saying? So how does a one start being a comedian? How does this class clown that is in the crowd yelling at Miss E-Bass? Which he wasn't. He wasn't the class clown. You wasn't. No, I wasn't. See, but everybody has their own story.

Yeah, so how does a person start? How does a person get it? I can't really speak for someone else because I don't know their journey. See, it's based on their journey. They could have been a class clown. They could have on their journey. They could have been a class clown. They could have been a supervisor. They could have been a cutting head at a barbershop. And someone said, yo, nigga, you need to start doing stand-up comedy.

But a lot of people can't make the transition from being a class clown to going on stage. Or you can make it and just become a regular motherfucker that work in the neighborhood. Or do you want to become national? Or do you want the world to know who you are and that takes time so you got to have the whole total package

now is Kevin Hart funny now when I said this on the breakfast club earlier this year I said Kevin Hart wasn't funny and let me explain to you what I mean

by that the nigga still ain't funny but you said he's still not funny he's still not funny but let me explain to you what I mean because people in this generation y'all take shit and run and talk about he hating still not funny but let me say to you what I mean because people

in this generation y'all take shit and run and talk about he hating no not you but it's just you know what you mean

so my point is I never used to watch I never watched another stand up comedian the purpose the reason why I never watched another stand up comedian

is because I don't want to see what they're talking about because when you watch another comic and they comedian because I don't want to see what they're talking about. Because when you watch another comic and they say something funny, you'll somehow, someway be in another city.

You're the DMX of comedy, nigga. Yeah, and boom. Shit just comes out. It'll just come out. Now, the wrong person see that shit? That's what Rob Williams said

when they was a... Yeah, they'll say, oh, he stole so-and-so's bitch. You're a foul nigga. So you're just whatever was coming from... Let me show you how we do it. Ah-da.

No, ah-da. Yes, sir. All right. Ah-da. No, no, no. Ah-da. All right, this is where we go. So everybody knows it's downhill.

Ah! Oh, that's good. That was smooth. Yeah, that was smooth. I like that. So one night, yes, I'm laying in bed, and Kevin Hawk comes on. Oh, I thought he came in your room.

No. The way you described it. That's the bluntest thing I told you. I told you what was gonna happen, nigga. You let that out. You sharing them blunts. You let that out, who raised you? Who raised you? Who raised you?

That's good And I'm watching Kevin That nigga was funny Than a motherfucker Which joint are you talking about? I think it was the first one When he was I don't know the outfit

I don't know the name of the show Bottom line The nigga was funny I couldn't To the country Go back on any show And say that Because of the name of the show. Bottom line, the nigga was funny. I couldn't, to the country, go back on any show and say that because of the type of person I am. Somebody would have said,

he's just trying to ride Kevin Hart's dick. But yes, I would love to make the kind of money Kevin Hart makes. Really, nobody knows how much money I have because I come from a different era. I'm just low-key. And I have a farmer's mentality. And a farmer's mentality is you never show what you really make.

You don't be showing your chickens in the farm. Exactly. We come from a different era, you know. When people that I hang with, you pull a camera out, niggas ducking high. Exactly. A motherfucker will leap like a motherfucker getting ready to shoot him. Let me tell you something.

I'm always nervous of an artist, an artist who's nervous of a camera because I know he was raised like me. Yep. Because if you look at my first interviews, I'll be like this.

I'm talking about, I didn't loosen up until 2005. Yes, sir. Because we coming through that era. Yeah, so when I see a new artist do that,

I'll be like, I fuck with him because he's like me. We ain't take pictures at no party. A bitch want to take a picture, you be doing this shit.

No, no, no, no, no pictures picture of you doing this shit like no no no no no pictures baby no no no no pictures but this generation is growing up they tell that they sell snitches so now

now comedy and hip hop has a very similar type of thing whereas there's certain comedians

who won't respect another comedian Right If a comedian had help writing his jokes Like Ghost Riders Like Ghost Riders Is that true or You know what I don't know

Cause I don't See You always do Ghost Rider Well it's not that I don't really fuck with comedians Not in a bad way What I mean I don't hang out with nobody

I can't say not one comedian is my friend If I see You go sign Mike Epps though early I put Mike Epps on You put Mike Epps on Let's make some noise a bad way. What I mean, I don't hang out with nobody. I can't say not one comedian is my friend. You co-signed Mike Epps though, early. I put Mike Epps on. You put Mike Epps on. Let's make some noise. I put Mike Epps on. I put Mike Epps on.

I don't remember that. I put Mike Epps on and Dio Hugli. You know what I'm saying? I sure did. And Sandra Bullock. I used to manage Sandra Bullock.

But that's a whole other story. That's a story we need. Yeah, see the company that I had was called Artistry Management out of New York City. Wait, Sandra Bullock

was a comedian? No, Sandra Bullock was an actress. But we had her before she blew up. And so it was Sandra Bullock and my company

was called Artistry Management with David Kleeman and Tommy Chesterow. So we had two white guys fronting. Sounds like serious people. I'm the nigga with the money.

But I was catching cases So I really couldn't be out there Being exposed Because nobody would want to fuck with us So as years went on And people started growing Mike went his way, Dio went his way, Sandra went away And it was just good to know I was part of their journey

What did you exactly do for Mike? Because I remember Me first seeing Mike, he was with you. Yeah, see, the thing with Mike Guest was I watched him for two years before I put him on. Okay. You know, I watched him at Uptown, and I said, yo, I need you to come move to New York. And he packed his shit, came to New York City, and he hung out with my dearest friend at the time, a nigga named TC. But Mike had some issues, had some problems doing his thing and so I let Mike go. TC

stayed with Mike. Next thing you know, Chris Tucker didn't want to do Fridays no more. Ice Cube went after Mike Epps. Because he seen him in a comedy show as well. Right. And then boom, the rest is history. So I see them every now and then. It's good to see that Mike got his life together and making paper and doing his thing. It's a beautiful

thing, matter of fact. Let's make some noise for Mike Epps. Yeah, Mike Epps. Let's talk about Sandra Bullock, man. Sandra my guy. Let's talk about Sandra Bullock, man. Sandra Bullock. Let's get into Sandra Bullock. How does that happen? Sandra Bullock is a, you know, that's the Sandra Bullock. The chick from Speed?

Yeah, Sandra Bullock got lucky. She's the one on Speed. Yeah. I don't think I had you boys at your age. Sandra Bullock got lucky. Okay. She was just a regular actress. She got lucky to meet you.

No, she got lucky. Her career got lucky. Let me explain to you what I mean. And this is to meet you. No, her career got lucky. And this is the behind the stories for people who don't know. Sylvester Stallone had a sexual harassment case against a woman who first starred in Speed.

And they fired her. Second runner up was Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock got her break. Boom. The rest is history. But you was involved in her career? I. The rest is history. But you was involved in her career? I was involved in all that. But she was unknown.

She was unknown. Right. She was unknown. Absolutely. So everybody was lucky in that. Yeah, so everybody who's looking around, when I used to tell this story,

they're like, oh, TK didn't manage that. But I was, it's a thing called laying the cut or an investor who's not known. Right.

I'm that kind of guy. You know, I do that kind of stuff. Even to this day, I put concerts and stuff together. Like, the coldest concert I put together that I could get on the show was a Sgt. Entertainer concert in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Me and my street niggas put it together. And he from Cincinnati? No, no. No, he's from St. Louis. St. Louis, okay, yeah. But the story that happened with SED is when they found that I was on the show, nobody wants to go on if I'm on the show. Like, I's from St. Louis. St. Louis, okay, yeah. But the story that happened with Said is when they found out I was on the show, nobody wants to go on if I'm on the show.

Like, I bring the heat. Because you like to bust the rhymes. Yeah, I bring the motherfucking heat. But he made my crew and I signed a piece of paper that I wouldn't go on the show that I was motherfucking... Who, Cedric the Entertainer? Are we sitting on Cedric the Entertainer right now?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened? Cedric's hating on me? Let's get to the point. This is. Oh, you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened? Saturday? Hey, you don't like it? Let's get to the point. This is my nigga, too. I forgot. No, we got it. We got it.

We got to talk about it. And Keenan, not Keenan, Damon Wayans said it best to me. He said, TK, don't look at anybody trying to hate on you. It's just that you're that funny. No one really wants to go on after you. And when you take your ego out of the thing and understand, you know, yeah, I want to be on everybody's show but I'm going to go on the show

and rock your motherfucking ass which is not good if a comedian trying to do his thing so it is what it is we was in the Bay Area and this was a hip hop show but Don Omar this is the reggaeton time

and Don Omar gave the promoter back his money and said, I am not going on if Nori comes on before me. Like, nobody didn't want that. And the promoter came to me and was like, yo, please, like, you got to close the show. He doesn't want to. And at first I was mad.

Right. But then, like, later on in life, I realized that, you know, because, you know, Don Omar's not looking at it like it's San Francisco. He's looking at it like this is America. He's from America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so.

Yeah, all great artists have that story. That's right. I think the one that raises the most of me is me and Cat Williams. I didn't hear this one. I'm ready for it. Yeah, Cat Williams, when we was in St. Louis at the Ambassador. And we both won the show. And he wanted to go on before me,

but he's the headliner. I already know what I'm getting ready to do. I'm getting ready to bring that motherfucker fire. I don't give a fuck who it is. So I go on stage and destroy the bitch.

Before him. Before him. Cat comes out, he can't follow it. So he throws a mink coat in the audience and gives like about 10, 15 people $100 bills

and walks off the stage. But, the difference is I'm still, but still, I'm still making money but that nigga make a $200,000

motherfucking night. So you tell me who really won. And I still really won. Nah, nah, nah. And, and, and is that something that,

because, because as a person that like, I'm a fan of comedy. Yes. Like 100% just a fan of waking up in the morning and laughing. Yes. And you knowing that you're funnier than, I don't want to say half, I want to say 95% of the time. Yes, 99.

99? Yes, sir. And so does that get frustrating or is that like motivation? It depends on what you're doing. You see, in this journey in life, no matter what you do, you really got to find out why you're here. And I know why I'm here. I'm here to help people. Whether they blow up to be bigger than me.

Because one day I got mad at a, did something for a comedian and my mom, God bless her. She said, did you do it from your heart or did you expect something from it? And I always said that, and when I said it to her, I said I did it from my heart. But then my mom was like, shit,

I wanted something in return. But as I became a man, I realized it was really from my heart. Like one of the things I'm working on now and I want everybody to know it, I'm trying to get

with the connection I have with Senators and before Obama leaves office, I'm trying to get Big Meech. Big Meech and him pardoned before January 2nd.

So it's working out now. Let's make some noise. My homegirl, Ebony Underwood, her father's locked up. She's fighting hard. Underwood, he was a part of

New Edition's career and all these people have been locked up for like 20-something years. And the thing is, I waited late to try to do this and I don't know

if it's definitely going to happen with Big Meat, you know, but I had the connections to make it happen because when we was talking about my

street name, Senator of New Jersey, Mrs. Bland is a heavyweight out in New Jersey and we were just talking like we're talking now and I said, I wanted to know if y'all could do me a favor. And we was just talking like we're talking now.

And I said, I wanted to know if y'all could do me a favor. And he was like, what, Mr. Kirk? I said, let's get Big Meech and them partners. I don't know them. I did a show for them once, but I don't know them. It's just that their name came to my mind. And I realized in life, some people do need a second chance. Let's make some noise.

That's all. I'm going to be honest. I've been drinking water all day. I've got to take a pee break. Let's make some noise. That's what that's all about. I'm going to be honest. I've been drinking water all day. I got to take a pee break. Let's just stop. All right. Stay right there. Stay right there because I'm so in.

Charlamagne, DJ Enry, I've known them since they was kids. You know what I'm saying? So I watched them grow. So when Charlamagne was on the show

with Wendy Williams, you know, when she was on the show with Wendy Williams, I just watched him grow as a youngster. And he saw something that was phenomenal

that most people didn't see. Yes, you heard we on tour with NWA. But no one, he saw a show when I was on tour with Keisha Cole and Bobby Valentino. Now, most comedians are the first act. I was

the opening act before Keisha after two acts and destroyed this bitch in 15 cities. And he remembers that to this day. So whenever I'm on his show, he'll always say, that TK Kirkland, that's a funny brother. Because he witnessed it.

He actually saw it. So let me ask you, is all of your material wrote prior? Is it written rhymes? Or do you freestyle some of it? It's based on my own hip hop terms. Yeah. And believe it or not, it is a formula

of hip hop. Because you gotta remember, I studied you guys and took hip hop and applied it to stand-up comedy. This is the reason why my show... You say you studied back then when you started. Who did you study? I studied NWA. Of course.

See, NWA was street reporters. And he still got an NWA hat on. Yeah. In LA. In LA, that's NWA. They were street reporters that reported on the street. I took that same way of thinking and took it... You remember?

Yes, sir. Let's go. God damn it. Tea to the motherfucking... Tea to the motherfucking... Who raised you man So Where's my water

Oh that shit is so beautiful That is nice That shit is nice man That is nice So I'm drinking I took that style And applied it

So over the years I don't give a fuck style Basically Yeah Cause that's what hip hop is And I can do clean I can do all that Some people don't think I do clean

I can do a clean show Like I was in church I can do clean. I can do all that. Some people don't think I do clean. I can do a clean show like I was in church. I can do clean. But my thing is now because of the way the world is. I just did How 9-7. Yeah.

Now that the way the world is I come hard at young men. Them tight jean niggas. Yeah. I come hard at men who sling and dick and they're not successful.

I come at men to be better men towards these women, but I also try to teach women stop fucking anything that's moving and get your life together first because it's all confusing out here. See, niggas like me, I come to town, I want to take a bitch shop and eat, push the Maserati.

I got to pay for the babysitter, which is her mother. If I fuck a bitch, she calling me to pay for valet because she leaving but I don't fuck with you. You want to have champagne

and mimosas and shit. The game is fucked up. You know, bitches want to fly and see you. I fuck with bitches that fly themselves to come see me. That's the thing about

what type of women that you fuck with. Who raised these bitches? Who raised these bitches? Who raised these bitches? So, continue to preach. My show is to hurt your fucking feelings.

I want to use the bitch car.

You know, I'm going to fuck the bitch. You said car or car? A car. Oh, okay. Or I'm going to move in with the bitch. You know what I'm saying? And a man to me, unless you got $20,000 in the bank, you shouldn't even be fucking. Because pussy is dessert. I said that on stage. When you

accomplish something throughout the day, you deserve a little dessert. That makes sense. Who raised these niggas, y'all? So now, like I said, I got to go out in the country, put my life in danger for putting niggas up on game because niggas getting mad at me. Because it's like, who this nigga? Who this nigga trying to put us up on game? But this is why I'm here.

To do the throw down. Now, you have a meeting with Suge Knight. You walk in the meeting, you pull the gun on... You pull the gun on the table. Yes. How do you know that? Because he was there. No, he wasn't there.

In my mind. In my mind. But he got the shit down looking at him. Like, damn, did he talk shit? But now, first off, and I heard you left a bracelet because you owed. But what did you owe? How did you owe Death Row Records money? Back in the day, I told you I was a hustler.

So one of my hustles was credit card fraud. Let's make some noise. Them being the Reggie's fans. One of my things was credit card fraud. But see,

we was on the hot. Because listen, let me just describe something to y'all. Hold on. While Defro and Bad Boy had beef, he also had beef

with both of them. Let's just mix them. That is so true. You think about it? Damn. and bad boy had beef he also had beef with both of them but you know what nobody is thinking i had beef with both of them with a nigga from jersey city hung out with both of them that's insane god damn it you know what i'm saying and that's how you credit cards no never got the credit cards no no no no that's not true that's saying? And that's how you got their credit cards. No, never got their credit cards. You scammed their credit cards? No, no, no, no, no. That's not true. That's the rumor.

No, that's the rumor. The facts is I never had Puffy's credit card. Puffy's credit card. I didn't ever have Puffy's credit card. Take that, take that, take that. Let's take it on Shug.

I was fucking a bitch. That was the hustler. Wait, hold on. What happened first? Shug or Puff? Shug. Let's go to Suge first. I was fucking a bitch. That was the hustler. That was the hustler. What happened first? Suge or Puff? Suge. Suge? Let's go to Suge first.

The Suge situation happened was pretty much the same thing. Suge credit card. No, was it Suge credit card? You really have to focus. You have to focus. All right? Don't rush it.

You're going to get it if you submit a ton of material. Let me take a drink. You're excited. Take a drink. Have a sip. Just don't puff after no wine. I ain't smoking

I'm not. Y'all gay. So on the credit card move my other hustle was flying comedians around the country. I was the plug. Because comedians

couldn't afford to buy airline tickets with the money people was paying to go to different cities. We talking the 90s. Early 90s. Right.

So I was the nigga that sent you there. I made sure you got to where you had to go. Point A to point B. Right. So I was the nigga that sent you there. I'm going to make sure you got to where you had to go. Point A to point B. Right. But back in them days, there was a thing called travel agencies. So by me being a college graduate, knowing how to talk properly.

You was also the travel agent. I was also the travel agent. But I can call the travel agent and act like I was a representative of Death Row, Bad Boy, et cetera, without them checking. So back then, also, there was a thing called fax machines. So you could fax information over. This nigga talking to us like, we 12.

We don't know the money. Keep going, teacher. I like it. So I was making a killing. Not knowing one day that shit comes back. Right. People don't pay

their bills. Okay. You know what I'm saying? So now, here come the heat. Right. Now, this is death row.

This is death row. This is death, death row. This is death, death. This is after they hung Vanilla Ice out. This is death,

this is, this is die row. They already told Puffy. I think the reason why everything wasn't just so bad on me because I had a reputation, Suge had a reputation.

Right. But Suge was also my bodyguard when I was on tour with N, because I had a reputation, Suge had a reputation, but Suge was also my bodyguard when I was on tour with NWA. Oh, wow. See, Suge was my bodyguard and the D.O.C.'s bodyguard. He was everybody's bodyguard at one point. No, he was D.O.C. bodyguard. And me and D.O.C. was tight, so Suge was both our bodyguards.

Did Suge try to own your publishing too? No, no, I didn't have publishing. Continue, continue. Yeah, so this nigga hilarious. Comedians don't have publishing? I just want to know this. We now have publishing now. Yeah, we get paid for stuff on...

Get the fuck out of here. I was playing. Yeah, on Pandora. Oh, we getting checks, man. Well, no. Well, back in the day when Richard Pryor when all these people put out albums

there was no publishing? No, maybe publishing for them. But now we get paid for our shit just being on the radio. And like we do stand-up on Panty. Yeah, on Pandora, all that shit. We get checks for that. Sound exchange, too?

Sound exchange. Oh, God damn it. That's a great command. The media is always out there. Thank you for being in that story. In podcasts, we don't get sound exchange. It's okay, but I need y'all to stay focused. Education is important.

It's just everywhere. That's what the show is just come back here come back it's ADHD right here it's okay it's okay so

um shit calls me he's setting me up and I know what he's doing he's like TK I want you to be in this video meet me up at Defro office

I'm like shit I know this nigga this is the Defro office with the red shirt right the shit I came back. That's the mafia call, huh? Yeah, so I go up there like a motherfucker fool, but I'm strapped.

But you know you violent. I know I'm violent. You know it. That's the thing about being a man. Okay. See, when you know you wrong, you got to stand up to it, you know? So in the office, we talk like men. I had to put my shit out, just in case.

Shots fired. Yep, shots fired. I'm a real my shit out. Justin Cain. Shots fired. Yep, shots fired. I'm a real champion. You're talented. Strong wrist. You know what I'm saying? Strong wrist. So he said, TK, you owe me like $30,000.

You know, what are we going to do? So I had a beautiful diamond tennis bracelet. And I gave it to the nigga to say, yo, I'm going to make sure I pay you tonight. Just take this. And this is from plane tickets? This is from plane tickets. So he took the bracelet that I gave him. No beef?

No beef. He had to respect me, I had to respect him because I knew people he knew and he knew people that I knew. It's just one of them type of situations. So as a man, nigga, when you're caught, you're caught. Right.

It probably would have been a motherfucker war. So you manned up immediately. I manned up and that night I paid him. That was it. Yeah, that night I paid him, gave him back my shit. That's not how most people's situations with Shook would have went down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's true. But like I said, Shook got a lot of respect for me. Before all his trouble, he'd talk all the time, call me and say hello. I mean, as far as personal life and his choices, he's a grown man. But I know that when we dealt, he did respect me. Did you see this road for him where he's at now? Did you see that coming?

Well, yeah. You know, as you get older and you understand God's plan, he does two things for you. He gives you warnings. And if you don't take heed to the warning, he either makes you die or you go to jail. Right. And the great thing about it is he's still kind of blessed. Yeah. Because he ain't dead.

Hold your head, Chuck. Hold your head. And it depends on how you look at it. He ain't dead, but this is also like a slow death. Think about all the chances that I gave you to at it. He ain't dead, but this is also like a slow death to think about all the chances that I gave you to do right. That's like how no matter if niggas come up to me and crisis and shit happen, I will

be the bitch nigga in that situation because I'm not trying to be behind, I'm not trying to be behind closed bars. Give me an example. One time I got arrested in 92, this is the craziest shit in the world. I'm on, I'm in protective custody because I'm a celebrity. But let me tell you who's on my row.

The Menendez brothers. Remember them? The filthy parents? Rick James. It's up there with me too. Wait, tell me. Rick James? The Menendez brothers?

Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. You're locked up. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, you're locked up. I'm locked up. L.A. County Jail. The, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, you're locked up. I'm locked up. L.A. County Jail.

The Melendez Brothers. The Melendez Brothers. And then Rick James. Rick James. Is it an XL? And Tupac. What the fuck? You're all sarcastic.

All of us was locked up. But the only time I ever got booed, the only time I ever got booed was in jail. You got booed? Because the niggas wanted me to tell a joke. And I said, man, I ain't telling no motherfucking joke. Your nigga got a case. I'm talking about, it sound like a thousand people, nigga.

Boo! And I told that motherfucking joke. And the niggas started laughing like it was a concert, nigga. I'm not going to forget that shit as long as I live, yo. Crazy story. Crazy story. That's the best audience you could have, though. So now we told you about your

West Coast beef. Yeah. Now we gotta talk about your West Coast light-skinned beef. Light-skinned? Yeah, because, you know, Sugar's technically a light-skinned nigga. That's the funniest shit ever. He's still a light-skinned nigga. Now let's talk about your New York dark-skinned beef. Yes.

Let's start it out with Darkness Charlie Murphy. Ah, you know about that. You stole Charlie Murphy watch. I sure did. God damn it. You stole Charlie Murphy house.

And Eddie Murphy. God damn, you're an engineer. He's everywhere. Who are you calling, man? Check this nigga more often. I'm telling you, he's a fan. You're a fan, man nigga more why. This nigga's a fan. You a fan, man? Listen, my nigga.

They didn't know he was a ninja. Oh, my God. Last month, we was trying to get him. That's true. So I've been a fan of TK forever, T to the motherfucking K. But I just said, let me just brush up on everything. So I stood at home that day. It was when we had Hurricane.

Right, Hurricane Matthew. So I had nothing else. I stood there. I watched the that day. It was when we had Hurricane. Right, Hurricane Matthew. So I had nothing else. I stood there, I watched the whole day and then I just kept watching because you know something's linked to another link.

Right, YouTube too, yeah. And then another link. And I just stood there and I was like, God damn it. Yeah, I did. Just break that down.

Go on. You know, I was 19 when it happened. So you were at Eddie Murphy's house. Me and Eddie was hanging out and I met Eddie through Keenan Ivey it. Just break that down. Go on. You know, when you, I was 19 when it happened. So you had Eddie Murphy out. I mean, Eddie was hanging out and I met Eddie through Keenan and Ivy Wang.

But what version of Eddie are we talking about? We talking about Eddie. Oh, we talking about. Well, it depends on years. The after. Yeah, Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy.

Oh, that's. When he was the. The first Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah, first. Part one. Yeah, when he was the number one star in the world. Yeah, that's prime.

That's prime. Yeah. You got this nigga crap. Yeah, I'm hanging with. one star in the world. Yeah, that's prime. That's prime. Yeah. You got this nigga crap. Yeah, I'm hanging with niggas. But why are you acting crazy? Because you pop into it. No, I wasn't even a stand-up comedian. You were just a nigga.

I was a nigga in college. It's just that at that time, Keenan thought me and Eddie looked the same. I was skinny. I had a little mustache and all that type of shit. So we just started hanging out. I was pulling bitches. So how do you know Kenan, though? But you have to allow me to finish.

I'm just saying. You're throwing it out there. I think that if you stay quiet for a second, all the answers you want will come to you. Let's see. Let's see if it doesn't come to me. Let it come natural. I'm going to do an outburst here.

Let it come natural. Let's go. Let's go. Cool, right? Let's go if it doesn't come to me. Let it come natural. I'm going to do an outburst. Let it come natural. Let's go. Let's go. It's the rain. It's the norm. It's the norm. So guys. This is funny as shit.

Go ahead. Go ahead. So we're hanging out. And then one day, Charlie is washing his perm. That's when I had perms. Is this the Dave Chappelle skit? Yeah. This is like around that time.

Yeah, so true. All right, cool. So Eddie has, Charlie has a perm. I'm sitting on there, we talking, and the watch is laying there. Now,

all I can say, it was a bad choice. Right. But in life, you do certain things. But you and Charlie was cool? Well, I was cool with all of them and he gave you the invite of Charlie

no we was all I used to come in the house and lay down and go to sleep man I wasn't like nobody I was that nigga they loved me I violated but here's the thing about so many things about life and then it didn't it didn't hit me until I started

started owning my own shit I started owning my own Until I started owning my own shit I started owning my own houses I started owning my own cars I started owning my own jewelry You have to let me finish And then one day it hit me yo 15, 20 years later I said oh shit I violated this man's house

See I think about it I was like 19 I was probably 40 something years old And I said I violated this man's house. See, I think about it, I was like 19. I think about this, I was probably 40-something years old. And I said, I violated this. So when someone lets you in their house, that's like, yo, that's the biggest gift a man is saying to you, that I'm letting you in my home.

And when you violate a man's home, it's really one of the worst things that you probably would do in your life. So I didn't feel good for years, subconsciously. So one day, I'm pulling up in my Bentley on Hollywood Boulevard. Eddie Murphy's in the Rolls Royce in front of me. Now, I'm so popping, me and him is in the VIP section in Hollywood. He got a bitch for him.

I got a cold bitch for me. Is they white? No. I feel like both of y'all have white bitches. Black niggas with white bitches. Cuban, Spanish, black women. Continue. So I went up to him.

Comedians still bring up this old shit, but Eddie and them didn't give a fuck because his cousins love me as a stand-up comedian. They think I'm one of the best comedians ever. So I looked at Eddie, I said, yo, I want to, as a man, after all these years, I want to apologize for violating and disrespecting your home. And he said, man, they still,

motherfuckers, you still talking about that? That was the reply he gave to me. So he patted his heart, and it was cool. We sat down, drank, and that was it. You know, but it goes to show you how talented I have been over these years for people to still talk about something that happened

in 1981. No, but that's legendary. Charlie Murphy. Yeah, but it happened in 1981, right. And T.K. Kirkland was the blame. And T.K. Kirkland is the shit. What is that? Coquito.

Coquito. Definitely niggas want me to have a stomach ache. I believe it's vegan, so no stomach ache. It's vegan, so I'll eat it because I'm lactose intolerant. Oh, you're good then. Oh, then I'm great. Yeah, and I have acid reflux. Oh, you guys are good.

It's healthy. Hello, that's our homegirl Vanessa. Hello, Vanessa. Vanessa, how are you? Vanessa, this is our recipe. Vanessa? Yes. All right.

God damn it. God damn it. In the moonshine. Vanessa, I don't see you.'t have a ring on your finger. Respect that. Excuse me. You single? I guess so. Okay. You fine, baby. I'm sorry I had to say something to you. I'm just being the man that I am.

You better make sure. You better make sure. I just got here. Your man going to hear this. I mean, we only got one listener. So don't worry about it. No, we got two and a half. Don't worry about it.

No, no, no. You know how my show is. When you got someone that beautiful, whether it's after six months, you should have a how my show is. If you got someone that beautiful, whether it's... After six months, she should have a ring on her finger. Because niggas like me, when you see a rock,

you respect the woman, you leave her alone. But if there's no rock... Say it again? If there's no rock... Then if there's no rock, she's available. No, if there's no rock.

If there's no rock, she's available. If she got a ring, you know to stay back. But if she don't have a ring, she's available. So she'll blush and go like this. And she got all the teeth ring, she's available.

And she got all the teeth and she's sexy. She got all her teeth. Alright, can we talk after the show? Have a conversation? I think you'll like my conversation. Every man should have

a platform. Let me tell you mine. Let me tell you my platform. Well, this is made with the coconut syrup. Yes. Who made that? Vanessa Renee? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is it. Yeah, we've been trying to get this. Thank you very much for bringing it to us. Hey, how does it taste when it's fresh? Like, if I was over your house on the couch, and you just brought it straight from the kitchen. Like what, brisket? Like brisket? Yeah? Like if I was over your house on the couch and you just bought a steak from the kitchen. Like what, breast milk? Yeah, like if I'm at the house.

It might go there. Because, you know, it's like. It has to sit over 24 hours. But it's like a hot sandwich. A hot sandwich is not good if you really wait to eat it. But if you eat the sandwich right there at the restaurant, it's the bomb. So what I'm saying is.

Yeah, but I'm saying it does it taste better in 23 hours? 23 is better than 15 minutes. Yes, ma'am. Okay, so I'm going to be at your house for a whole day. Right. It's just a bit of a night, God damn it. I like that.

I'm going to be here for the whole day. That means I'm taking a shower. Showers. I'm taking a shower. Heyower? I'm taking a shower. Hey, you still ain't answered. What? Yes. The Wayans.

The Wayans. Okay. How may I help you? Relax, Siri. Yo, Siri. Nobody talking to you, motherfucker. Siri. You said Kenan.

Yes. Was it Kenan that brought you to? Yeah, Kenan introduced me to everybody. You talk shit to me, but you ain't even answering. No, I didn't talk shit because we got interrupted, but if you check out your surroundings... No, I check it all out. You have to check out your surroundings.

Let me check Siri out. Siri, did he answer that shit? No. Hell no. Siri's an asshole. So that's how all this started. I think what he's trying to say is, how did you even meet Kenan?

Yeah, you said Kenan. I was hanging out. Which I thought that was very interesting. See, back then there were certain clubs. And were they comedians back then? Yeah, they was very easy back then there was certain clubs yeah there was comedians but i was in college that's what i'm saying you wasn't a comedian i was looking at me i was like i was getting my master's degree i was studying but we was all hanging out so i was just trying to get to you was selling cocaine and all of them were selling it i just feel like that's good because you know why he's not getting it right

because then he's not getting why a nobody like i'm not a spitting aside. Because you know why he's not getting it? Right. Because he's not getting why a nobody, like I'm not just saying you was a nobody, but just a guy who's not, you know, Eddie Murphy, Keenan Ivey. Right. Why is there a problem? You were selling cocaine. Just throw it out there. That's funny. Is that what it is?

No. You were selling watches or something. All right. You were selling watches. He said he was a scammer When you think about that You say It does make sense But it just so happened

You know Some people just have Great conversational skills And I just think I have a gift of talking So I think that We just hung out And then they saw

That I had nice cars I was doing my thing And just you know Bosses talk to bosses And Charlie went to the bathroom He took the watch No he didn't go to the bathroom and you took the watch. No, he didn't go to the bathroom.

I took it right there while he was there. In front of him? Yeah, that's how the watch got taken. And I thought about it. We had a fight. Yeah,

in a fair way. I was about to say that. I was about to say that because I knew it. Yeah, we had a fight, you know, and as a man again,

no mistake. Where did y'all fight? Yo, we fought right on motherfucking Beverly Boulevard and Beverly Hills. Everything was Hollywood. Yo, hold on.

Let me just say something. Let me just say something. This is between you, him, and Charlie. Y'all the blackest niggas in the universe. For them niggas having a fight in Hollywood. Where the fuck? Yeah, it's Hollywood, my nigga. So what happened?

He ran up on you? He ran up on me. Because, you know, the Dave Chappelle shit. They never did it on Dave Chappelle. I know, but I'm know you know the Dave Chappelle shit like they never did it on Dave Chappelle like I know but I'm saying on the Dave Chappelle shit like he like smacked and like five fingers straight in the face yeah yeah that he when that happened and even though we had a fight and because of who I was at that moment it was going to get ugly all right and the great thing about what I tell young men is your choices. Right.

Man, it comes down to them motherfucking choices so bad because it's a step from prison, someone dying, or just being man enough to live a longer day. So now imagine that happened in 1981. And look what I've accomplished in all these years of today. And then what would a fight happen? Let's get to this. The fight happened in 1981. 81. Yes, sir. So where you at? Fatburger? No, no, what, when the fight happened? Let's get to this. The fight happened in 1981. 81. Yes, sir.

So where you at? Fatburger? No, no, no, no. They in the limo and I'm in my Benz. Okay. And they happen to see me. They all get out the car

and I got my niggas in the car. Because Charlie Murphy's the street guy. Eddie is like... No, Charlie wasn't a street guy. Charlie came out of the service. He wasn't a street dude. Okay.

You know what I'm saying? Keep it going. So, yeah. So we got into a fight, scuffle. No one talked about bringing the watch back. They wasn't sure I had the watch. It was just speculation. So what was his words when he said to you?

I don't know. That's 1981. Because I know black men. You got to remember what I know is the year. Because y'all darkness right there is going down. But do you remember who swung first? He swung first. He swung first. Yeah, he swung first. Which was supposed to. Because he from Brooklyn, you from

Jersey. Well, no, it had nothing to do with that. I know what you're saying. He just swung first. I just wanted to establish that. And remember, it hurt. It hurt? Oh, he connected. He connected. It hurt. You know, so a couple days later, you know, I worked things out and they got the watch back. Right.

And then the rumor started from there forever. Right. And that was it. And you ain't seen him since. I've never seen, I haven't seen him since then. But you've seen Eddie since then. I've seen Eddie since then. And Eddie didn't give a fuck.

Yeah, Eddie didn't give a fuck. Everybody loved me. Their cousins loved me. Yeah, Eddie too much for that shit. The greatest thing, though, is no matter what people say of an old story like that, when I touch that mic, I'm the baddest motherfucker in the world. But do you ever feel like you're walking down South Beach,

Charlie Murphy mic just hit you in your ear? Because between now and then, people know my reputation. 10, 15 years ago they know my reputation. Today, I would sit they didn't know my reputation. Today I would sit down and probably

apologize to the brother and forgive. Just so that you can have peace. Welcome to Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more. Play it at play.it.

You know what You said that on The Breakfast Club And I'm never gonna You said that everywhere else Listen this is a street Shit Right The street niggas gotta relate to you

Right But the thing is No that's not gonna work Yeah He do it He try to do that That shit ain't gonna work We seen that on The Breakfast Club

We seen it on Black TV Let me tell you the story Cause it didn't make sense to street niggas. Yeah, I'm just saying. You had Pup Daddy credit cards. That's why you should have went to school. But you had Pup Daddy credit cards. No, we never had his credit card.

But you told Jacob you had Pup Daddy credit cards. No, that never happened either. Okay. Now you let me hear the story. I'm in his position. Let me put you up on game. You fucking this bitch. Back from there.

So she tells me what's going on, but she knows how to pay shit together. Credit card number, bad boy logo. We go back to fax machines again. This is the credit card scam. When you say bad boy logo, you just gotta have the

bad boy, the component shit. The logo, yeah, anything. You gotta have the official fax. On the No, she knew how to get the logo. Yeah, anything. For facts, you got to have the official facts. Yeah, you got to have the official logo. Bro, on the facts. Yeah, you got to look official. You can have a tie. I guess coming from the company. to this particular jeweler,

me and Allen Iverson is friends. Damn, bad people getting implicated in this. Yeah, so a guy that works for Allen Iverson is a friend of mine. I said, yo,

where did AI get his jewelry from? And he told me, now, I'm not new. I'm really just coming in the paper. I'm stacking,, where did A.I. get his jewelry from? And he told me, now, I'm not new. I'm really just coming in the paper. I'm stacking, but jewelry ain't my thing. But now I'm going through this phase because at that time, the Jay-Z and the Puffies had niggas wearing Versace

shirts and spending mad money on jewelry and getting broke. Right. You got to look nice. Looking rich, but being broke. We finally called the jewelry store and it was a shock to me because we faxed everything over. And I'm just like, yeah, I want a Rolex. I want a diamond earrings. I want a necklace.

Like Allen Iverson, fool. Yeah, like the biggest fool. So my thing is, me being still conservative, I'm thinking $1,500, $2,000 for everything. That's $150,000. This motherfucker said $140,000. $140,000. Is that Jacob? No, it's not Jacob.

It's another jewelry store. This is another jewelry store. So at that time, I have a cousin who's a federal agent who's also my body got skin intricate yeah so I get ready come to town I say yo cuz go pick this jewelry up for me he says where he goes pick it up but it's paid for on the card we thinking that it's paid for so this is a beautiful story They ain't get this They think it's paid for My cousin goes to pick it up

The cops is waiting thinking it's me My cousin His partner who federal agents get arrested The agent gets arrested He gets arrested So now my family They giving you up Is at ends.

But because they love me so much, nothing really went down. So now I got to fix this. All right. So I'm staying at the Royalton Hotel. You know the Royalton is on 44th Street? One of the baddest hotels in New York City. You don't even know it's a hotel. It's some boutique type shit.

So I know the cops know where I'm at. So instead of getting on a plane, because I had a show that night at Symphony Hall in North New Jersey. The whole fucking state of New York is there. I got my street niggas there. They's like, yo, don't you come nowhere near this building. So I catch a cab from Manhattan to Philadelphia to catch a flight to go to Greensville, South Carolina, because the next day I'm opening up for Gerald LeBurton in Greensville, South Carolina.

Crazy. So now nothing happens. A whole month goes by. I'm filming a movie in Los Angeles, California. This girl I'm dating calls me and said, TK, you on the news. I said, what? She said, yeah, they, you on the news. I said, what? She said, yeah, they got you on the news. And the news was about me getting that puff.

So they blew it up like I had shot Clinton. So now, since I know the tables. Clinton? Well, you got that puff? Yeah. Oh, you're saying it was that crazy. It was that crazy. If it was social media today, I couldn't walk down the street.

It was like that. Right, right. So what I did was I found an attorney, and we had a surrender date. So we did a surrender date. I didn't show up. Matter of fact, I didn't show up for a month. They looking for a nigga now. They got a manhunt.

But I'm still doing shows. After I'm doing the shows, I'm looking at the door and seeing cops is coming in this motherfucker to get me. Long story short, I make it into New York City. I turn myself in. They waiting for me. I get on the news and all that type of shit. And you come to find out so many things about the police when shit goes down. Right. So in this particular time, I changed attorneys. And you come to find out so many things about the police when shit goes down, right?

So in this particular time, I changed attorneys. And the judge locked me up in Rikers Island. They locked me in Rikers Island for 30 days. Since 76? Yeah, whatever crazy part that shit was. So he locked me up. But now here come the DA. It's a crazy story.

The DA comes. The reason why the DA comes to talk to me because Puffy now had a shootout. Him and the rapper that sound like Biggie shine in the club. They want me to snitch on them. They want you to snitch on Puff. This is the DA now. They want me to snitch on Puff. They don't want me to snitch on Puff They want you to snitch on Puff. This is the DA now. They want me to snitch on Puff.

They don't want me to snitch on Puff. They saying, he trying to lock you up. He trying to lock you up. We want you to do us a favor. So I played the part for a minute. They bringing me blimpy sandwiches and all that kind of shit. They put me in the car early in the morning to take me to the club that the shooting went down

Club New York. Yeah Club New York. Yeah, so they tell me where to stand where I saw the gun How Puffy pulled out the gun how he shot so-and-so and all this type shit. It's true story. It's crazy. So now They take me back to the jail they bring me out maybe two days later and ask me what I wanted to do and I told them I said I think I'll ride this one out now they mad but at this time

I got two of the coldest attorneys in Long Island I'll never forget their name because I thought I was on the Sopranos and their names was Frank Donato and Tony Capitello out of Long Island. And in New York City... That's respect.

So now I'm in New York City and y'all have a law there called predicate felon. A predicate felon is if you catch a felony within a year of your first charge, New York has a mandatory sentence of four to six years. So they was trying to get me four to six because I caught the case with Puff.

You can pour another shot. I poured me and him another shot. Of what? Whatever the fuck you want. So what went down was my attorneys beat the plea. They beat the plea for me doing four to six. I fought the case. Matter of fact, I took a deal, to be honest with you.

I was supposed to do two to four, and I was supposed to do boot camp. You ratted out? No, I'm going to tell you exactly what happened. I'm going to tell you exactly what happened. I took the deal. Come the following year, we go to court that January. Gotta hit that. Yeah, one more time.

Let's go. I'll tell the judge, I'll tell my attorney, we're not taking the deal. TK, you're trying to get too deep with us on doing champs. I know, it's okay. We ain't trying to be deep.

You got to take her shopping. And what most men don't understand when I say shopping, you don't think I'm thinking about spending a lot of money. Sales, nigga. You got to catch sales. You know, not Kmart. You know, when you fucking a woman, you never want to take a woman to Kmart. No. You got to really

take care. Because I always tell men, knowledge. See, most niggas fuck women to destroy them. I'll tellas fuck women to destroy them. I tell guys fuck them to teach them. See, you teach a woman, especially if you know you ain't that nigga that's going to be around, you fuck her to teach her, teach her how to save money,

teach her how to masturbate, teach her how to get shit on her own, so that she do meet a nigga that's a nice nigga, because most nice niggas is corny. Mostly. Yeah, mostly.

So we assume that these chicks don't know none of that before we meet them. We don't know that.

We don't know that. Yeah, we don't know that. All we're saying is we're in this lane, and you just cut me off without a fucking signal. Oh, fuck, I'll tell you the same shit. You just wait. So that's what's happening. And if you teach young ladies their confidence, their inspired,

you have them destroyed. I mean, me the girl, and the girls psychologically is fucked up because the dude she messed with

was a cheater or the dude she fucked with took money from her or the dude gave her a baby but won't take his motherfucking kids.

Jerry Heller, Eazy, we was getting ready to do things called Roofless Comedy. What was your take on Jerry Heller, though? My take on Jerry, when you see any white man that take a group of niggas out of the hood and blow their ass, he's like God. But you don't know all the particulars going on behind the scenes. This is why you have to give Ice Cube the utmost respect for him to be that young

and knew his worth. Right. I mean, this motherfucker was 21, 22 years old, dog. Wow. And he knew his motherfucking worth and walked away.

What was the first record they sold? That shit was like 4,500. Yeah, they sold that first album made 20-something million and Eazy-E put up 6,000. Yeah. Wow.

That's how much they put on Straight Outta Compton. But then Cube stayed on priority. Wait, wait. Tell me one thing. What? Say that one more time. Eazy put up 6,000 to do Straight Outta Compton, and Straight Outta Compton made 22-something million. Yeah, that's an investment.

And in the hood, when people get 10 years, people get 20 years, people get 25 years, people get 30 years, they so

quick to say, that nigga's over. He's washed up. It's done with him. That's not what we want to do over here. What we want to do over here is we want to continue to praise our legends, whether it be in a comedic stance, whether it be in a lyrical stance, whether it be in an acting stance or whatever.

And you are one of the people that we want to continue to commemorate and salute. Thank you. I really appreciate it, man. And do that and let you know that you got a platform here. We don't care if you sign on loudspeaker. Now, those are our people, man. Right, right. You know, it's all jokes. You know what I'm saying? We would rather you come here, but it doesn't matter because we're Charlemagne.

Me and Charlemagne is in tune with a black aluminum. I called him. Black aluminum. Yeah, I told him to call you to put me on. That's beautiful. That's my man. That's my man. That's our man. And what my man. That's my man. And what we want to say is, you know,

in this genre, this thing that we live in, people give us five years and seven years. And when we have people like you who've been doing it since NWA been touring. Yes, sir. And then you doing it now

since Drink Champs is popular. Yes, sir. We want to continue to support you. We want to continue to tell you to take shots with us. Yes, sir. And then you doing it now. This is Drink Champs. This is pop. Yes, sir. We want to continue to support you. We want to continue to tell you to take shots with us. Yes, sir.

We're going to have the girl, you know, the Dominican girl that look black. Right. Going to make sure she drive you back. Yeah, because she's beautiful.

I'm going to marry her, nigga. Yeah. Whenever you got to go. I'm for real. We're going to change the converses, but I'm going to marry her. We're going to order her over.

We're going to dance next time. It's okay. Baby to marry you. We're going to order her over. We're going to dance next time. It's okay. Baby, you can do whatever you need to do, young lady. And you're single too? My God. I'm single. And y'all look good together. Y'all get her on tape.

Y'all get her on tape. I want the world to see what I'm talking to. Listen, listen, listen. Yo, put her on tape, baby. Let me just show you something. Let me just show you something. Let niggas know what I'm talking about. Get her on tape.

Film her and film him. We made a connection. Look at them two. And this is exactly how Drake got made. I'm talking about. Get her on tape. Film her and film him. Look at them two. And this is exactly how Drake got made. I'm just being honest. This is exactly how Drake got made. Yeah, this girl is unbelievable. God damn it. You see the fellas? You see the confidence that I had?

That's what drew her in. And I got the number. We're going to go out. I'm going to push the Maserati. Little hair flow because that's not a weed. I said that's not a weed. That's real. That's real.

That's important. Because when you date a woman that don't have a weed, you save thousands throughout the year. Weave is expensive. Expensive than a motherfucker. They want the Indian hair. For real. They don't even want the horse shit no more. Man.

They grew out of the horse shit. In a relationship once. 100,000. Y'all got me fucked up. This is fucked up, y'all. This is fucked up. My fans ain't never seen me like this. They see you me like this.

They see you now like this. Give me that weed back in there. Tell them I'm 100,000. Where did y'all get your weed from? From the nigga that raised you. I got the plug. That's what I'm saying. We got the weed. Let's talk about the cash money crew.

Cash money, we forgot that. I was going to bring it back. And forgot. The cash money situation was so phenomenal. Because I met Baby and Lil Wayne right when they were starting. When they kissed? Oh, no. Yeah, I saw them kiss.

So it's not a secret that they kissed. You said when they kissed? Yeah, they kissed. All of them used to kiss. I thought it was some mafia shit. Yeah, that's what it looked like to me. But it wasn't some mafia shit. No, no, no. It wasn't. Were they on that? I never thought that. No shit. Yeah, that's what it looked like to me. But it wasn't some mafia shit. No, no, no, it wasn't.

No. Were they on that? No, they was on that. They was actually kissing each other in the mouth. But some mafia shit or just... No, it wasn't no mafia shit. I don't know. Listen, I don't know.

Listen to me. Let me tell you. Let me tell you how it was. I've been in the streets all around the world. One of my connects was in New Orleans. I said, nigga, this is how I call him. I said, yo, this is how y'all move? He said, nah, nigga, baby, I'm just

on some different shit. But I never questioned. See, one thing about being a man, whatever lane a nigga take, that's his lane. And you let that motherfucker take his lane. So I allowed him to take his lane, but they was always good to me. Right.

I say always, always good to me. If I was walking down the street now, baby and them motherfuckers would pull over, get out the car, and have a conversation with me for about 45 minutes to an hour. That's the respect they always have for me. When we did the movie called

I'm Baller Blockin', I played the cop in Baller Blockin'. You know, they allowed me to write my own shit and I remember baby coming in my trailer. He must have had like a million dollars in the suitcase. He asked me how much did I charge.

I said the whole motherfucking suitcase. That's it. He came in and said, TK, how much we owe you? Because I've never seen anyone not respect money before. That's the thing that was about him. They didn't respect money. They did not respect the money.

They did not respect money. So one night we went out. It was like 5, 6 o'clock in the evening. And he bought like nine Bentleys at one time. So me and my man was in the other seat. He said, nigga, this nigga about to buy us a Bentley. We really thought it was going to really go down like that

because he didn't respect one. We didn't get the Bentley. But the thought of that happening was just phenomenal because he really was that type of dude. He really was,

you know? And to, no matter what him Lil Wayne's going through or whatever, the nigga pulled off one of the coldest moves in motherfucking music history. Because what people don't know is that

when he got in front of that $30 million, he was really in the red. Juvenile sold so many motherfucking records that before the year was over, the $30 million was paid back. They was in the black and the motherfuckers never been in the red ever since.

That's just a blessing, yo. And like I said, from the in-depth, from Roofless Records to Master P to all the other labels who who for babying them still to be doing what they're doing and now you got the hottest artists in the world

regardless of what his plans For Babynum still to be doing what they're doing, and now you got the hottest artist in the world? Regardless of what his plans are, the nigga pulled some cold shit. Who the hottest artist in the world? Drake. Goddamn. Yeah? You're right.

Yeah, that motherfucker the hottest. Now, what happened to hip-hop is, when I watched, I went to his concert. Who? Drake concert. I watched him, and I said to myself, how did they let this motherfucker in? The light-skinned nigga? Yes.

How did that happen? Because what happened from Big Daddy Kane? Exactly. That dark-skinned nigga's hat. What people didn't understand. What happened? You know, evolution. Evolution. But what happened with Drake was, he is a guy who you could tell.

But you was a fan of hip hop Since Big Daddy came I've been a fan of hip hop From day one From Sugar Hill Gang Tell us what happened From the dark skin community Because I want to understand

What happened People started slaying Forget the Latinos And the dark skin community No it's not that Regardless Charlamagne told me something About your dark skin

Drake is dark skin Light skin Latinos got nothing to do with that No they got dark skin niggas Drake There's fucking Cubans in there Yeah It's the dark skin. Drake is still... Dark skin, light skin. No, they got dark skin. Latinos have got nothing to do with that. No, they got dark skin, niggas. Drake... There's fucking Cubans in there. Yeah, I know. It's the dark skin, niggas community.

No, man. But you know, you know what I'm saying? Because I love you so much. Let's not get into nationalities because people really take what we're saying seriously. I know.

And these motherfuckers will be on something black, Dominican, I'm better than you, type shit. I'm Cuban. I don't want to really go that far if you don't mind me

being the older person in the room right now. Yeah, please. Be the older you. Yeah, I'm cute. I don't want to really go that far. If you don't mind me being the older person in the room right now. Yeah, please, be the older person. So, Baby was just a phenomenal dude. But the tour with them to do Baller Blockin' was just really some phenomenal shit. And then I went on tour with them and did 20, 30 seats. But the thing I liked about them was it was Cash Money Millionaires, DMX. Rough Riders. You did the DMX?

You did the Cash Money Rough Riders tour? I was the emcee. DMX. Rough Riders. The Rough Riders tour. You did the Cash Money Rough Riders tour? I was the emcee. Get the fuck out of here. I was the opening act for them motherfuckers. Wow. Cash Money Rough Riders. Cash Money Rough Riders. That was the next tour after, you know, Rockefeller.

Yeah, and I host that tour too. Get the fuck out of here. Yes, sir. I was on the tour with Jay-Z and all. And the crazy thing about the Jay-Z tour is that when I was 35 years old, I threw a party in New York City. Jay-Z was my birthday celebration. I paid that nigga $1,500. And he was late.

And I wasn't going to let him on. And after that, I went on tour with him and Damon. What's his partner? Dash. Dash. Dave Dash. You hired Jay-Z for $1,500, what's his partner? Dash. Dash. Dave Dash. You hired Jay-Z for $1,500? I paid him.

I did hire him. Yeah, I hired him for $1,500. Let's make some noise for Jay-Z. So I started going on tour with him. But then I wrote songs for Second to None, AMG, Bitch Better Have My Money. You wrote that? Yeah, I wrote all they stuff. You used to take them on tour.

No, no. AMG, Bitch Better Have My Money. Bitch Better Have My Money. That's a crazy ass record. Yeah. I'm just a words of the motherfucking DJ. Yeah, I've been involved with all this shit, yo. Like all this shit. But I always didn't know. I just don't brag about it.

Damn. So you wrote that record? I wrote skits and all that on his albums. Wow. Sure it is. Second to none. All of them. Uh-huh.

God damn. Eddie O.G. and the Bulldogs. Eddie O.G.? Oh, wow. Eddie O.G. Yeah, I go way back, yo. From Boston, man. From Boston.

Yep. And then I remember on the Cash Money Tour, we had that little situation in Boston with Made Men. There was a fight between the Rough Riders and Made Men when the motherfuckers and I got stabbed. And I'm in the middle of the shit. Because everybody just loved me, but they're going to pass me stabbing each other. But Made Men didn't know that the Rough Riders was that motherfucker tough.

They matched that motherfucker night. Because it's lucky nobody died. Because the Rough Riders stabbed them motherfucker tough. They matched that motherfucker night. Because it's lucky nobody died. Because the Rough Riders stabbed them niggas to fuck up. For real. They came with fists. And the Rough Riders came with knives. Puerto Rican style. Yep, sure did.

Goddamn. So, you know. I don't know if we make noise for that or not. I don't think we have no more. No, no. Horses ain't making noise no more. All we do is finish this Tiger Ball show. We No, whores ain't making noise no more. All we do on this finish is Tiger Bones.

We can't. We can't. TK. Might as well, bro. Puff Daddy, you know Puff Daddy sat here and you stole his credit card. So, um. Puff Daddy credit card stealer? I didn't steal the Puff Daddy credit card. In my mind.

You said take that. Take that. You got to get that out your mind. I got to get that. You my nigga, man. You my nigga. You my nigga for life. You always been my nigga. You said take that. I was like, take that one too. You got to get that out your mind. I got to get that. You my nigga, man. You my nigga. My nigga for life. You always been my nigga.

Yes, sir. In my mind, all right. But now you saw me perform. No, you killed it. Once you saw me. You killed it. Tell the world. My wife said.

Thank you. You see the show. Yo, but the other guy. This is how I got to know. I got to start dressing different. All right. The other guy that performed for you, he said something about Cuba.

My wife was like, Cuba! And I grabbed my wife and said, relax. No, I heard you in the background. I said, relax. He already had three bombs already. The dude said, look. He said, this is why I don't like dogs. And I felt like I made a lot of money in my life.

No, it wasn't that. No, let me tell you what he did. When a comedian here, go on with that. That's cold. Nigga, shut the fuck up. I'm going to the car and get whatever it is. I think I gave him a little bit of that. That's what you gave him.

Yeah, I gave him a little bit. That's what you gave him. Because when you said it, I knew what it was. I'm not even here for you. I'm waiting for my man to come out. He said, nigga, go on with that. That's how he said it. Go on with that. And that was a wrap. They said Cuba.

And then my wife said, yeah. He was like, I don't know. Leave her. Fuck her. But that's how I met her. But then you came out there. Now, this is what I want to understand. Do you go on an approach to a crowd?

I base my show based on the crowd. Premeditated? Or do you say, let me look at these niggas? I come out and whatever my feeling is, I always say if they don't laugh, fuck them. But I always make them laugh. But the shit that I say is just so insane that it's going to work. Now,

if I have to do a white audience, then I've become a comedian of doing more Let's work the audience like you white people right now. We all white right now. Okay, great. I'm just saying. We all white. Yo, dude! We can do white material. Here's white material. I just found out I was dyslexic. I'm going to sign it. Yo, dude! Okay, so dude, we can do white material.

Dude! Here's white material. I just found out I was dyslexic. I'm dyslexic! Yeah, I'm dyslexic, but I already thought... Am I white still?

No, I thought I was the Matrix doll in the movie. No, but am I... Am I white now? See, you're Cuban. I'm Puerto Rican. You're Puerto Rican. But I'm on a whole nother level.

All right. Just follow the story. Sir, please relax. Yeah, relax. I'm dyslexic, and level. All right. Just follow the story. Sorry. Please relax. Yeah. I'm dyslexic. And I read things different than most people. So I'm saying to myself, I'm fucking brilliant.

I don't see what other people say. That's what I've been saying. So I tell people one night, I said, let me explain something to you why I know I'm smarter than you. There's an earthquake that happens in the ocean A tsunami comes to shore Now This is why I'm proving to you I'm smarter than you See most people say tsunami That shows that you're lazy

The reason why I'm not lazy And right Is because I see the T And they didn't want me to say the fucking T The T shouldn't be there. I'm not going to act like that T is not there. I see the T. Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. All right. Too signing. Remember another point why I'm smarter than you. Most of y'all spell Colonel C-O-L-O-N-I-L I mean I-A-L that's not Colonel

that's Colonial Colonel is K-E-A-R-N-A-L Colonel you text your girl in the morning baby I love you I'm going to take you to dinner

Eat your pussy later tonight You know what she's going to text you AWW That's not AWW AWW is A-R-E AWW You know what I'm saying You know what I'm saying

So let me go a little deeper And you don't even know this, but I'm going to ask you. Why do old people walk so early in the morning? Do they have somewhere to go? And why do people say good things come to those who wait? Because that shit don't lay away. And ladies, why when men go down on you,

they always try to kiss you afterwards? Because bitch, if we die, you die too. Let's make some noise for TK. TK in the building. Welcome to Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more. Play it at play.it. We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.

Yo, so now, before we get up out of here. Yes, sir. We got to get to who raised you? Who raised you? How did you think of that? How did you come up with that? How did you apply? Who raised you really starts from my daughter's mother.

It starts from there. And the relationship, because when you treat somebody so good and they fuck up in life, back in the day, you say the apple don't fall too far from the tree. Right. All right? And it take a village to raise people. Exactly. So as I was dating people, I would see beautiful women who just didn't have proper upbringing.

And I used to say to this one girl, I need to meet your mom. Because the bitch was so fine. Hold on, EFM, we didn't finish our shot. God damn it. Oh, let's do it. Let's finish our shot. Let's do this shit, bro. Where your shot at, TK? I drank my shot. Well, kind of. We doing another one?

Stop lying! And your chest is on your stomach. Talks all about how the buggers ain't never seen a gangster with his chest on his stomach. You got a respiratory infection. Who raised you? Who raised you? Who raised you? Oh, shit. So, who raised you?

For people to know, it's just a formula to make people aware who you are and who raised you. And it's so important because you got men out here wanting to be good to women, but that wasn't raised you. And it's so important because you got men out here who want to be good to women,

but that wasn't raised right. You got women who want to be good to men, but the man wasn't raised right. So I take who raised you and put it in your face. And just like niggas out here slinging dick like they successful. You niggas out here fucking bitches like y'all got money. And you niggas out here Fucking bitches

Like y'all got money And you niggas know Your financial situation Is fucked up But yet you still Approach a bitch Knowing you're about To destroy her life

Nigga So listen We gonna put down The coldest shit In the world, right? January 21st, I want y'all to catch me at the musical. There you go. All right, January 21st, catch me at the musical.

This weekend, when this airs, I'll be performing at the Uptown Comedy Club. And shout out to all my fans in Atlanta, Georgia. Uptown Comedy Club is in Atlanta? Yeah, Uptown Comedy Club is in Atlanta. I swore that was in New York. No, no. Okay. That? Uptown Comedy Club is in Atlanta? Yeah, Uptown Comedy Club is in Atlanta. I swore that was in New York. No, no. That's Uptown Comedy back in the day, up in Harlem.

I'm sorry. But you must have been to jail and you never caught up. That's right. So, one of the greatest moments of next year is that I signed a deal to become a ring announcer

in Kenya, Africa. Watch where we're going with this now. These young people, I was going to say motherfuckers, but if they listen to this, I want to make sure I say this clearly, have given me a voice to be a ring announcer in Kenya

for six fights over the next year, where I'm the Michael Buffer of Vegas the guy who says let's get ready to rumble so I'm in a tux bow tie not being a comedian just an emcee and what I want to share with comics is that you play the hand that you're dealt you got to be a standard comedian you got to be a businessman you got to know, you know. And you got to know how to track. And you got to know how to multiply. And you got to know how to do business. And I always tell people, all money is good money to a hustler.

Whether it's $1,000 or whether it's $100,000, go get the money. Because I come from an era where you worked 40 hours a week and you made $700, $500 and by the time you took taxes, your ass only came home with $300 and something dollars and people don't understand that shit. So if you can make

$100,000 in 15 minutes or $100,000 in an hour and that's what somebody offered you, my suggestion is never say motherfucker no. Always go get the motherfucker money. Because what you gentlemen don't want is to ever get old and be broke.

Ever get old and have a motherfucker, you got to depend on the motherfucker because your money wasn't right when you had 30, 40, 50 something years to get your life together. You know, when you think about this one day I'm in heaven You're going to say Yo I ran ran At Norie Agus interview At Jane Chance

One of the flyest niggas That ever hit the game And they be like Ooh Tea to the motherfucking cat Who raised these niggas Alright one more thing And then I'm on tour

February 25th With Keisha Cole But early that morning If you're in Jersey City, New Jersey Make sure you come to the ceremony Because I'm getting a street named after me Called TK Kirkland Make sure you text me

And I'll be all in I know you're an old school nigga You don't like texting Text me I'll catch my own flag I'm going to come out there That's going to be beautiful, yo. But listen.

That's the greatest gift in the world, I think. Before you get up out of here, comedians, you guys do your motherfucking thing. What is the ultimate finale for a comedian? You know what? Everybody has different things. Everybody wants to be a movie star. Everybody wants to have a TV show. But what's great about me going to college

is that it taught me to do your due diligence by anything you do. I tell that to if you're going to be a hustler, if you're going to be a con artist, if you're going to be a husband, if you're going to be a businessman, you do research. Entertainment really is not made

for Afro-Americans, Spanish, Cuban people to be on TV. Why? Because we don't own the playing field. Let me explain to you what I mean. See, that's not the field we own, but we run basketball, we run football, but the Jews and the white people run TV, and this is the reason why you

only see five people in every fucking movie that you see. Now, don't you think Samuel Jackson is from Capital One commercials to every fucking movie in the world. Everything. You don't think you can give that to somebody else? They're not taking it away from him. It's just that what white America sees is he's the only black person that we're going to give a shot to. And that's the reason why you understand. So I always tell people

get an education, get a skill, and learn how to take care of your family. You know, if you are entertaining of a family, to me that's really a bad thing to do. The reason why it's a bad thing to do, because anytime you're on your square, you should never be in a relationship.

You should always be in a situation where you have nothing to distract you, no emotion that will make you make a decision that you can't follow your dream. And this is the purpose of sticking your dick in a woman. You have to understand the consequences

that once you get an erection, and there's something else that you want what's more important you know what I'm saying because everybody would like to have money you ain't got to be rich but I want y'all to make money you know whether you're getting

$20,000 a month $10,000 a month learn how to save your money if you got $500 in the bank last year you should have $1,000 in the bank this year you understand what I'm saying and that's what I want for people you got to understand do your due diligence and that's why I was talking about hustlers back in the bank this year. You understand what I'm saying? And that's what I want for people. You got to understand, do your due

diligence. And that's why I was talking about hustlers back in the day. No one should go to jail today because you have so many examples of what not to do. You have the Junior Mafia, you got BMF, you got everybody. Talk about that.

Junior Mafia, that's your family. That's my family, yeah. Yeah, break that down. Well, James Cole is my cousin. And back in the day when I was in college, I was what you call the navigator. I was the guy who threw people in and got people out. Because back then, they didn't have what they have now. You can walk on a plane with five keys on you.

Right. And nobody was going to pat you down. Nothing was going to happen. We're talking about the 80s. Early 90s. When technology started changing, everything went down

and you just couldn't get through the airports no more. Back in the day, they always say, don't talk on the phone. There's one particular day when my other connect was a burnout. So, you know, we used to do the burnout thing. So we take people's phone numbers, sell them in the streets and make thousands of dollars on that. But this one particular day, the feds bugged our phones. And 90% of the whole organization got locked up. And on that particular day, I think I was in school. So I wasn't, I wasn't on the phone at that time, but everybody else got locked up. And on that particular day, I think I was in school,

so I wasn't on the phone at that time. But everybody else got locked up. And that's how it went down. Let's make some noise for the niggas. TK, you've really been through a lot of shit. I've been through a lot of shit, yo. Now, here's another crazy story nobody don't know Just one more thing

Look, are you going to take that back on a flight with you? Oh, no, I got my way of getting to the house. All right. We know you're a criminal. Focus on what you need to focus on. Come on, guys. We know you're a criminal. You done robbed Puff Daddy, Mike Tyson, and Suge Knight.

What's up with you and Mike Tyson? I mean, Mike Tyson's good friends. You robbed him, too? I ain't never robbed Mike. Why? No, it ain't him too? I ain't never robbed Mike. Why? No, it ain't enough. That shit ain't enough. But Mike's my nigga though.

Mike used to come pick me up in that fucking Lambo. It had the doors popping out. As a matter of fact, the night that Mike came to pick me up, I'll never forget it. It was me, Mike, Haitian Jack, going to Madonna's house. Oh, for sure. Yep, back in the day.

You know, when I hear my story, when I'm talking, I'm so thankful. You said some real gangster shit. Yeah, I'm so thankful that the life that I've had. You know, I'm so thankful that... The life that I've had. You know, you don't think about it until you... You can actually hear it. But it's been one great motherfucking journey. Great fucking journey. And you seen Madonna?

Yeah, Madonna, cool person. Yeah. And she had spread ego? No. I don't know what happened in another room. But Madonna Madonna cool people But she was fucking Oh Madonna was fucking back in the day

Yeah she definitely was fucking Tupac Everybody Big Daddy Kane was the first one When men meet certain girls Niggas don't know how to pull them And make them queens That's why I almost came out of retirement.

Give me an example. Kanye West with homegirl that fuck Wiz Khalifa. What's her name? Kardashian. There's a lot of cute girls on the market. So men, young men, who meet these beautiful girls don't have the experience to make them

better ladies. See, a man makes a woman who's already great a better woman, right? You know what I'm saying? Because I always tell men, knowledge is a lot longer and thicker than dick. So when you teach a woman the knowledge about herself, knowledge about being a better woman,

sky's the motherfucking limit. And that's why the Who Raised You thing is just so phenomenal, because as each city that I go through, I drop knowledge on them. Even if I just get one person. Because I got men who hit me in my DMs, don't even know how to talk to a female. They're like, yo, TK, can you teach me how to say X, Y, and Z to so-and-so? I want to fuck a girl.

How do I go about? And I'm reading this, and I'm like, what the fuck has happened? And you say, who raised these niggas, yo? Motherfucking playing Nintendo games? When we was young, we chased women. Nigga, I've been chasing women since I was a motherfucking 11 years old. Eating pussy behind the church. At 11 years old.
