felt like as soon as it started, everybody lit up. Yeah, they did. We had a green carpet man, everybody came down so it's like we kind of enticed it. And was the green carpet

made out of weed? The man, I wish it would you would have sworn it would there was so much weed inside and I told me somebody came out there and cut it first. Right, right. So now, let's talk about this, bro.

By the way, we got... Yeah, you got a non-suicide. We got DJ motherfucking pool in the building. Make sure. Yay! And we got motherfuckettling a little deal of all. So now, is this your first time you wrote and directed? Because I know you wrote movies before.

And then, this filming. Oh, damn. You wrote and directed the wall. That's right. Damn. And Snoop is in this during two as well, right?

Yeah, yeah. So now how did you guys come together for this project? How did this, how did this work? How did this meet, for real? Mm-hmm.

Niggia, I met this nigga on MySpace. What? I swear to God. So it goes back. Yeah, we go back. I thought you made recently, like, you on MySpace now. No, no.

That way now. That's the creepiest plug. Yeah, that's the way. He's there on my space. Tom, Tom don't even be on MySpace anymore. Tom chilling on Instagram. So, y'all back. Go ahead.

So how do you meet on MySpace? He hit me up on MySpace. He's like, hey, man, I fuck with you. He's funny and say I want to do something with you. And I mean, he's a legend. You know what I'm saying? Like, I always tell people he's like the Martin Scorskese of hip-hop playing. Martin Scorskis.

Did I say it right? Martin Scorsese. You know I can't talk. Well, that would be the hip-hop version. Marks-Cors-Case. No. No, Martin Poozee. That's what I'm talking.

Martin Poozweezy. You know what I'm saying? So when he calmed, I was like, man, I'm down with it. And 10 years later, they did hear the day. I just make some noise with that, God damn. Make some noise from MySpace doing something positive. Let me see that. This?

No, this. Okay. Because this is a good thing you can put it in here. What the, what kind of contraptions y'all have for this stuff? This nigger, yeah, I noticed that. This nigg is a real weed dude. Yeah, I am. It was crazy because that just happened.

He didn't smoke when we made the film. I didn't. What? I feel ripped off. Like, he said, let's start smoking after school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a part too. But you ain't used to smoke weed?

No, I never smoked a drink. I never smoked a drink. I was smoking fake weed during the movie. During the movie, I was the only one smoking fake. So how long you've been smoking weed officially? Like a year and a half? Okay, I call him the little OG baby Young Love. Yes, because I smoke like a motherfucker-in' nothing.

Because you got young love What happened? What? I don't know What's the fuck just happened? Ali, what the fuck just happened? What you fucking up a high-five?

I don't know, I got to push it in there with his tight. Wait, so he went zero to a hundred in the year. Yeah, because you just, you're just... I thought you got my dad to do correct, so I got a high tolerance. I got a real high time. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. I'm really high.

Like, I haven't met my match yet. They tried to give me. He got his man that used to smoke a potter. pop. And he tried to get me on that damn. I did that too. I was still up like this. And you had never got high before. I never got high before. I never got high before.

What the fuck? Never got that's crazy. That's why I can't do nothing else because I take stuff to the extreme. So if I did get in a thing else, I'd be smoking all the weed. If I had some Coke, I was going to get a guy here. Just snorting by myself. Tony Montana shit. Yeah, for real.

So now you guys meet on my space. And then and from there, I started talking about this movie or they just formed a relationship. From there, he just formed a relationship. You know, I was just like, I want to work with you one day. I was just like, man, you're funny as hell, man.

I just like, you just seem like a cool cat. Right. And I want to work with you and shit. I just thought he was cool, you know? I didn't know he wasn't. Right. You know. You got in there slip.

Man, I love Dubbo, man. But because I remember first seeing you like in TIA videos. But that was like your introduction to hip hop? No, not really because I was doing stand-up and everything. thing, how Mia Tip met, he used to come to the comedy club, because I did, I used to have this comedy night in Atlanta, and he used to be popping all the time,

and Tim was just coming up, but he used to always come to the comedy club, and then he had already had an album out, but it wasn't getting that much buzz as the second one, so when the September came out, he was like, I want you to do in the videos or stuff, and it was everybody, that's when Atlanta was popping, like, the crunk era, like Little John,

and everybody like that, that's something. So anytime they had a video, they hit me up, and what people don't realize about that time why the niki used to do a lot of videos. TV wasn't popping at that time for black people. Like, yeah, after Martin and all that stuff there, it really wasn't no outlet to be on TV.

So the only way you're going to be on TV was fucking hip-hop. A lot of comedians came out on videos. Yeah, so that's what I used to do, and I used to kill it. And so from there, it spent into, and then when the internet came in, that's when they went to a whole other thing. But even before that, I had Comic View and

and stuff like that. So you're from Atlanta? I'm from Florida. Jacksonville. Right. Okay. I'm from, Floridaian. Yeah,

where you from? Miami. Born here, but raised in Miami. Okay, okay. Now, but you live in Atlanta? I live in Atlanta. I've been living there for a minute, too.

And Atlanta's like black Hollywood. Do you say that? I mean, is it fair to say that? I would say yeah. I say yeah, but I mean, to me,

it's probably like how you feel about New York. Like, nah, I know what it is. You know what I'm saying? So, for somebody else, it is like, it is like the great white where people go, like the underground railroad for black niggins

You think you can make it That still is it But for me I see it for what it is Right Now Poole you're 100% from California right Well I'm originally from Kansas City Missouri but I've been Since I've been young

Now your career is very interesting Because you got the California ties You could have very easily wrote gang movies But you kind of like Went towards the weed culture It's just been you know what Mostly what I've done has been comedy shit because I guess it's been that dude who's always

cracking around but but I'm always taking a lot of pride in servicing in terms of service good quality content to the hood right right right so so because Friday was the first yeah that's the first film I wrote okay and then how did that take place because you know we see in the movie you see Q and straight out of Compton he's that he's he's sitting there, and I think his girl says How's Friday coming along, babe? And it wasn't, did it go down

like that? Well, you know what? And to him, it did, and then, when he said, I didn't say that like, I know, I know, I know. Well, put it this way. Chris Tucker character, it was about him. There was you. You, smoking.

Yeah. Oh, shit. He's smoky. So, I mean, that tells you right there. But Cuth, yeah, cute wrote, like to him, that That was his experience writing it because we wrote on our own in places and collab together. So I can't take nothing away from Q.

Me and Q. Co-wrote that movie, you know what I'm saying? I think, I think, you know, it couldn't have been that way if me or him wrote it alone. I think it was the fact that we wrote it together. It was so dope. It was something that we really, you know, put work in on and people love, you know? When you was doing it, did you know you was making a classic?

We felt like we was doing some shit because we was just having fun with music videos and shit, like that they were new and you did something with Boys in the Hood too like you wrote something for it no no I did a lot of the music stuff and the score stuff and stuff and like the drive by scene that you hear but don't see

or like pulls up to the stop sign everything that you hear and that kind of started a lot of music under the movie came from just tracks and beats and shit I did because you know I produced but but but but honestly with um with with

with Friday you know it was There's more of the music videos that we were doing stuff like you had me do, play the Mac in the video. He got the Maca song in that. And we were just having fun clowning. It was like, man, let's make a comedy. Let's make some funny shit. At the time, it was like boys in the hood. Man, it's everything.

Everything was serious. Yeah, and it was like, the nix laughing at the hood. Was Debo based on a real character? Yeah, it's a Debo. I knew it. I knew it. I did it. But the core part about it, it's not just this specific one.

It's that one that one. Accommodation. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They'll eat you. Rub them to drink, man. What's going on? You don't got a salsa water? No, we got salsa water.

All right, cool, let's go on, go on, man. I feel like, look at it. Look at it. We almost had sober chaps, though. We almost had soap in all this. Because all this is hip-hop history. Yep. You know what else funny?

Because we're talking before this thing, and I want to bring this up. Yeah, please. I want to bring this up. I don't know if a lot of the viewers know this because they're probably younger, but this was a beat like about 10, 15, 20 years ago. The biggest misunderstanding in hip-hop. It might be in black history. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, yeah. I'm a DJ. I know exactly. And we sit in here and drinking. They were stomping on the building. We sit here drinking. Because I always know the head side of the story. You got to tell your side, man.

Because he told me, what your both tell me? Ali. Oh, we need more glasses. Yeah, well, pretty much, we just made the record to get on. Like, we didn't have no, you know what I mean? We made L.A. just to get on. We had no like... And the original one, you did it over there beat.

So that was your first song before... That's my first song that ever took off. But my dude, yeah. You did it on in New York, New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did it play, basically. Oh, yeah, I heard it clear. It was my beat. Tell the whole story from the beginning.

From the beginning. I think when we went back and did it, we did the sugar hell version over. I don't think we did yours. Over. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's the original. Isn't the original sugar hell? No.

No. That's the original. on the one he just, like, just we got sued somebody somebody soon as a big

and it was a commercial for Biggie for the same house that's sad to say yeah yeah he's talking about and he's like

oh I want to make I forgot that yeah that was on everybody always thought that was a dumbest that commercial

that was you so hold for the commercial too yeah you can tell how the whole because I want to know basically

like I mean most of the musical all the commercial oh that's most of yeah well well basically

to ask a little um little devolve um What happened was they had a record called New York, New York. We had not known if it was actually a disc record. We just know that it was funny they're saying New York, New York. So we had did the record LA, LA.

If you notice, none of us saying anything bad about LA or anything. In fact, the only one who did say anything slightly remote, he said JFK on our way to LA was Prodigy. And if you look at the video, Prodigy took his verse off because he was a little nervous. So what happened? was, and then, and they came to New York, and I believe they shot the video. Some shit happened in the video, and then they changed the whole video to, like, it was like, now kicked down the buildings and now do that.

But that's my side. That's what I said. That is what happened, though, because the song wasn't meant to be a disc song. It was a song where it was like paying homage to the music. You know, hip-hop arrived to us. Second. And we couldn't believe them. But why did they shoot up?

But it was a spot. Why is they shut the start? That's the first time, and from my point of view, I ever heard Biggie even, like, really speak on the drama. We were there. I was shooting the video. That was my whole production, craft, and everything. I was shooting the video in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

And we heard on the video, on the radio, they're saying, oh, yeah, they over are shooting the video? How are y'all going to let them come in the other? Yeah. That was the only time. Because to tell you the truth, if I gave me my side of any Biggie story, Biggie really wasn't with the drama. He didn't really want to be a part of that.

Like, he was a cool nigger. was just a cool dude. A very cool dude. So that's what I was wondering, but that's a fucking hip-hop history. That makes you know what I'm going to say. I got to tell, oh, thanks man. I got to tell one side story.

Okay. There's one that one we were shooting the video, and then the shit went down in the video shoot. And everybody went back to L.A. packed up, and that's when I shot the buildings to use in the video to be kicking down. So I had to stay another two days. Oh, my God.

So I'm in the hotel. I look at my phone, the lights link, and I got messages. I get the phone, yo, you better take your fucking ass back to L.A. Yo, we're going to fucking get your ass. Oh, shit. Move my room. I got, give me the alias name. I made up some alias name and moved on all my shit to another room.

You by yourself. You know, the first time I was. The second time I'm in there all the homies in the room now, the crew. And the light start blinking again. I'm like, what the fuck? I don't know. Yo, you better get all this shit. I'm going to do that.

I'm looking at these niggas, they start laughing. That's them playing on the world. But you seem like, and both of you brothers, I feel like y'all going to have a great relationship with continuing to continue to. Because y'all seem like, you know, people that's always in good spirits. Yeah. Is that true?

Because we're not, for me personally, I don't try to get engulf in the industry shit. You know what I see? I work within the industry, but I work in when I want to. You know what I'm saying? I feel like it's the best thing you can do. If I don't want to do something, I don't do it. If I want to do it, I do it.

That's pretty much how I work with me, too. I have to say I've been blessed to have had an opportunity to be in the front seat of hip hop. Great way to put that. And, you know, in a long run, and most of what I do is behind the scenes. Yep. You know, I played the character red and Friday and stuff. Most people, that seem to be like, oh, that's red, and they don't know. You killed that.

Music I did. They don't know the writing I do anything of that, but they know that because most of what I do is behind the thing. At one point, was you ever wanted to be an actor, or it was always like, I mean, right? I used to love to just have fun. You know, I just love creating and having fun and shit more than anything, but I just love writing and some of that acting, have a fun,

just doing whatever. So now, Grow House. Let's tell these people, obviously, you're growing weed in there, obviously, right? But tell the people, who else is in there? Who else is in there, too? So tell us, tell the people, for people that don't know. Martin Star from Silicon Valley.

We got Malcolm McDowell in there. We got Raquel Lee. Zulai. Yeah, yeah. Zulai, George Wallace. Phazon Love. You know, Smith Dog, of course, we mentioned them already. and man we got a lot of money good people

Is it an interesting thing? It's independent. Definitely independent. Yeah, so break that. Why why why do you go independent? Because I, you know, you could probably go to these big guys. You know what you would think it's always easy to go to the big guys when because we have made film. I mean, you know, I'm betting 100%.

I've never made a film that has not made money. Right. You know, and so you can look at a lot of films that a lot of big-time Hollywood stars have made that have straight lost $100 million and shit. I have flopped like, you know, flopped a hundred times. But when they fall, a lot of times, they fall up. They just go right into the next shit like it's nothing. But us, we can have a film that just makes, you know, maybe a 20% profit. And it's like, oh, yeah, I don't know.

you know. You know, so that's kind of to the you have to be a thousand times better, a hundred times better kind of mentality I feel that we've always been told growing up, you know, you've got to be better at what you do just to get recognized or just to get on. And I feel like

that applies everywhere, even in the film industry. And would you rather be independent? You know what? In some ways, hell, motherfucking, yeah. And in some ways it's like, damn, this shit hard. I was right. Yeah, like how's the distribution on the film when it's independent?

How much harder is it to get it in theaters across the country? It's like slim and none. Some distribution shit. I think that's the hardest part right there, which is the reason why so many films don't get that theatrical distribution. Right, right. You know, they'll get, you know, Netflix and Amazon and Redbox. Those things are real cool, too, not putting it down,

because I can't wait to get there, too. Right. here too. Because Netflix is giving up that check. That's like they're coming of streaming for film. Did people see it on too? You know what I mean? And so you have to look at it and say shit.

You know, it's going to go down the chain either way. But when you could get an opportunity to do a theatrical release, ain't like that like that. You're looking at me like this. Ain't like that shit. When you can get a film in the theater, because that's a different experience with people who have to go purchase a ticket.

It's an event. It's a bit. It's black cinema. Like, you know, back then, we had the boys in the hoods, and we had the Fridays, and we had, and it seems like, it seemed like black cinema is like. And that's what we're trying to bring back with this. The renaissance is coming in.

And it's comedy because, like, well, I try to tell a lot of people with this movie and what made, you know what made Friday's so funny? Because it was a real story, and it just had funny people in it. It wasn't like they were trying to, he wrote it to try to be funny. It was just a real story, and you put funny people in there and funny scenarios. And that's what this movie is. You know what I'm saying?

Pretty much. It's a real story. And it represents the culture the right way. You know that something like breaking, between breaking and the Hollywood breaking movie. The people that really

break in life, it's a horrible. But that's the same thing with this. Like breaking one and two? Yeah, you're like, man, that shit ain't really. It ain't like Beach Street. You know what I'm saying?

That was more like the culture. That was like Hollywood shit. So that's why I made sure I went to the beach. They did a screen, I was like, you gotta go to the beta if you're doing the weed movie. And I wanted to get what they thought. And after the show, too, I didn't even tell you, this poop.

After the show, the dude came in me as funny. He was like, man, this shit was so funny because I was looking at my old lady who was laughing because everything, he was showing me everything, his phone would happen in the movie. It happened to him. Why he was doing his grow house.

Wow. So it's kind of like telling a real story. It's relatable. And it speaks for a culture, they don't make it look like it's some bullshit. Right. And honestly, if you really wanted to open up girl house you watch this you make

it's the blueprint right it's the blueprint you should definitely know how to grow when you need the movie right right because it shit ain't just as easy some people and you grow too what's your man name that was Montana's big him up earlier yeah yeah big him up but you

grow too I have you have because you gave me some abracadabre shit oh those are some girls I work with those are the best that's the best growing this shit I rolled this up I rolled this up Not a lot. What you said?

No, that's the bug. Yeah. Abra cadaver. These things, it is magical. That's the best shit in the world. That shit that put me to sleep. I smoked up one of the half on my stove. I took a nap.

I ain't taking a nap since 1998, nigga. What? So what you like better? Stand up or actually acting in the film? I like both, but honestly, I got into stand-up to get into acting. I mean, to get into movies, because I figured that's how you do it. You know what I'm saying?

Like I said, I mean, Friday was the reason why I got in this shit. It's so coincidence that I'm doing the movie with him. So what happened was I saw Chris Tucker go from stand-up and did the movie. So I was like, oh, that's how you do it. Co-stand-Dub. I feel like Chris Tucker fucked up and not doing it the next Friday. He should have did. I never say that, man, because a lot of people was just like, oh, why didn't he do it?

Did you feel like he got Hollywood? This drink champs. We need the real story. He got Hollywood on you. You know what? I think Chris always had a plan just to do all kinds of shit. And I think it would be unfair to Chris to make it feel like, you know, he didn't. I feel like he didn't have ideas to do much more than that because Smokey is not the character or the person he is in no way.

You know how some people I say there's a base of that character and that person. That's really not who he is. Was he afraid to get typecast into that? He was a great actor. Yeah, he was a great actor. Yeah. Because he had his food. I thought he was smoking like a motherfucker.

Word, I thought he was smoking. I let you know he killed the character. Yeah, but one thing for sure is, unlike Duvore, he was smoking real weed. He came at you. That was another one. Yeah, you said he didn't get into it. He must have been mad. I was going to take this old shit.

Whatever he said. He must have been mad shit that you actually started smoking after. Yeah, he was. I'm bad, too. I'm bad, too. I'm bad, too. I'm mad too because I'm like, damn, boy, I couldn't have really killed it for real.

It's all this shit, I've been learned since I've been smoking. But now, like I say, man, the movie... And is it a California movie? Is it taking place since Los Angeles? Yeah, cool. And I don't like to toot the horn of the movie, but I wouldn't be promoting this movie this hard if I didn't think it was funny.

You know, because I've done a lot of movies that I ain't promoted. Right. Because I know how garbage is here. But this one here is... Plus, you can't be... talking too much shit. If it ain't, they're going to troll your ass on the internet. That's funny you say that because as a comedian,

do you always want to be funny on camera or does it come to a part where you like, let me get my acting on? I think the best actors are comedians. Yeah. Because we have to do it all the time on, look at Jamie Fox. I'm about to say that. As soon as you said that, Jamie Foxx, I really thought it was Ray Charles. They're really too much to each other.

I think Robin Williams is one of the best actors ever Comedian. Robin Williams, Tom Hanks. You know what I'm saying? Tom Hanks, a comedian? Yeah, he did. What's that movie he did, punchline? Tom Hanks.

And he was in a bosom buddies. I gotta stop you there. Tom Hanks ain't ain't on comedians. No, he was a comedian. Yeah, he started a comedian. Yeah, he was a comedian. He acted in that. He did a movie about his being a stand-in-duty.

He's so versatile that you don't see him as that, but he has that out of it. Did he do stand-up, though? I don't think he did a move about being a stand-stant-in-old. But he was a comedian. Like that's the way he came in Yeah, so I mean this Those be the, because you have to act certain things Because you're reenecting what you've seen

As far as in life So that makes a great comedian It makes a great act You know, so I guess They're the best one It's stand up hard when you, when you unknown It's a, Instead of this, the hardest form of entertainment

It ain't nothing harder than this The only thing maybe is preaching Oh, sure Because you gotta come up with something every week And bullshit You gotta have new balls Yeah That's what I said about comedy all together.

Like, even in the film, doing comedy is more difficult because it's not like you're just telling a story. You're doing something to get a reaction. And they're expecting it. If you ain't getting that, then it's like, oh, I think that was a book. It's like a scary movie. Like, after a while, it's hard to scare people. And the same thing with comedy.

After they don't hurt every joke is getting harder. Especially now when people teach his fans short, because it takes time to build stand-up special. That's why you see somebody like Chris Rock do something every five years because you've got to live life. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying?

And it takes time, but in this day and any, people ain't got time. Right. So you got to work within what it is, and it's transitioning into social media technology. It's funny, as far as funny. So same question to you, Poo. What do you enjoy more? Music or making movies?

You know what? Oh, man. That's, you know, what I enjoy more than anything and I have to be honest because I can't say between one and another, but I would say I enjoy hip hop and I mean that

you know and that's back to what I said earlier being in the front seat of hip hop. As I've been involved in hip hop from music to film to video games to I've been involved in business that has

culture, changed the culture. It has had hip hop be a part of and I've been there and deservingly so I think we should be in any form of entertainment because it's crazy because even before the movies in my opinion you were already a legend

within the music culture of hip-hap but you know he did great their father too now no I didn't know that like this man has been doing the shit man?

The soundtrack? No no no I write the stories come on that and I don't know that's insane! Do you understand who you write that?

This is why I be hated Like, I've been telling him He's humble. He humbled. Yeah, I'd be like, God, you can't be in 2017? That's why I say,

you ain't gonna be humble. I'm gonna hype you up. Yeah, yeah. I got to be his hypeman. Yeah, he's a publicist. Yeah, he's published. This is what you gotta do. This you gotta do.

You know, everything is cool. And then you got to come out and say, translation. We're running this shit, bitch. Right in this shit. The thing is deposed. That's crazy. A lot of the culture that we have internet come from me.

But not, but we got, we got to do it. I got to go back before, like, going back more in the music part of it. Okay. Going back to early West Coast stuff. King T. he was messing with. L. L. Koojee, America's Most Wanted Ice Cube, Lynch Mob, all that. NWA days too?

Oh, yeah. I was definitely, I started out back when Drake showed me how to work a drum machine. Get the fuck out. Dr. Dr. Drake told you all. See how he said that's so humble? Now you got to say it. Because it's no one in him, man. You see how you said it humble? Now you got to say in a nigger way. Yeah.

No, they're not been living with Drake and all that put peace together. See, I've been... Man, y'all just doing this shit, man. You're just doing that shit. Fuck you mean. Fuck you mean, Rick. You can step up. You ain't just shit compared to what I've done.

Translation. Hell you're talking about. Been rich. Fuck you mean. You can't make this many platinum hits about me. I ain't go ahead. That's good. Without a friend, though, man.

This man's a legend. No, he is. He's sculted and coaching. where people don't even realize it, you know what I'm saying? So I just hate to see, like, I don't want to even be going and people that know it. Right. You know what I'm saying?

That's true. That's true. People don't be knowing. So it takes people like us to let people know. And just so you know, this show is all about giving our legends their flowers when they can smell them and giving them their weed when they can inhale them. Yeah, yeah. So many people want to praise you after you're gone, and I just feel like it's stupid.

Why don't we praise our legends now? Hip-hop, we gotta keep our people alive. I praise this nigga too. I do it all the time, too, man. For real. For real. For real. And I humbly say that,

Dre, definitely taught me how to work a drum machine. It gave me the first drum machine to borrow and use. You know, that's the kind of guy Dre is, you know. Man, being around these niggas, like him, even Snoop, though. Even Snoop. Even Snoop. Because y'all hung on with Snoop yesterday right now. Snoop is one of the most, like, honestly, he's the biggest name in hip-hop period.

Everybody. He's an icon. There's nobody that don't know. Beyond that. But for him to be that big, that popular, and just to be so regular. Right. It's so, like, it makes me realize, you ain't got to be a big asshole. If you really even know that with Snoop, you'll forget who he is because he's so cool.

But you know what I know what about that? Nica's so real. Most big stars that smoke weed are the coolest shit. But if they stars and they don't smoke weed, they take life too fucking serious. I don't know. Most of the people get high. I don't give him fuck. From what else, you know, the people that really got it are real humble.

It's the one that ain't got it. It's like real gangsters. Don't even talk that shit. Yeah, like they don't know. They don't know. The one that's really doing it? They ain't the assholes. It's the one that's trying to get that.

That's who the assholes is. Ambitious, well-intentioned, ferocious and wealthy. Mother looks like in the black community.

Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider

what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

And this is Freddie Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between.

Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? It's to value time to be cognizant of time. and how important time is, because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since, like, 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around.

Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Now, what's your favorite era of hip-hop? Nineties? I grew up writing in the 90s. I grew up on you. I grew up definitely on them.

Honestly, I was a West Coast nigga just off of all their shit. I hated New York. And my mind, I was a West Coast nigga at one point, too. Oh, my best. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, no, he's gone west coast. It's stuck right here. I got him, no.

I'm telling me what this was, I'm telling me my whole story of why I got on the New York shit. When I heard life's the bishops you died with 18. And I started here and then it went from Nett, then it went from everybody. I used to focus on everybody in Queens. That's how you got him Capone and Doréeg and all that. I got a DJ Klu. So that's how

all my circle. So I knew everything in that little clique. I was a queen. Every rapper in Queens. I knew who they would. So is DJ pool and Little Deval listening to the Migos? Yeah, I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am a little

But I can't say I listen to everything. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. I kind of look at me. I'm not talking about Migos specifically. I'm not in general. Everything in general now.

But I do keep up on what's going on. When I say Migos, I mean them, but I mean like this new generation. Like you know what I'm saying? I like music. Yeah, I like music. Like when you like music. Good music though. Even coming with the beat, like, sometimes it's just like, when you hear something new,

I always like new. Like when they come to me and so when I hear something. hits him, it's like refreshing, even if I don't, like, because I've learned, a lot of times we just stuck in our ways, the older we are. Yeah, the older than we get. You know what I'm saying? But there was some bullshit when we came. That's a lot of bullshit. It was a lot of bullshit that 90s, too.

But the flip is saying because it's new and it's young, it's automatically you should be into it. I don't think that either. You know, there's good shit and there's bad shit. You shouldn't relate to a lot of that shit because we're old. We shouldn't relate to it. I'm not going to lie. It'd be certain times.

I want to hear Drake. I feel soft. I want to feel soft. Come home. Come on. He makes great music. He makes great music. He makes great music.

I'm just saying, I be in that mood. What I mean is, like, sometimes I don't want to hear no hardcore shit. I don't want to hear about niggas talking about selling drugs that they never sold. Sometimes I just want to. I'm in the mood where I want to go. Yeah, I want to hear some drink. I'm going to be honest. I thought some hardcore shit.

I like him. I like him singing. I just like hip-hop as a whole so. no matter where it go, it's going to go somewhere. I think it's getting more to, like, we keep saying it's mumble, but James Brown, scream through all the songs.

I never heard that. That's actually a good idea. So it's not really, it's just... He's the father hip-hop. Exactly. The Godfather. The Godfather. The Godfather.

The Godfather. That's a real good one. I never thought of it that way. You just shut me down the way I think about mumble rap. You know what I'm saying? So it's really just like we just don't want, because we're like they ain't saying nothing,

but like it's all comes back to jazz and all that goes to beats. Who knows what? But all the stuff that James Brown did outside of all that screaming him up, he danced, he did so much more. So much more showmanship.

But there's jazz that has no lyrics or nothing, but we said it's just the beat and the vibe of it. So sometimes you take things that vibe or wave. Like when you're in that wave of it, you feel it. Just like when we, you know what you're saying like now?

You heard what he said, though? he said, there's jazz with no lyrics. I had to think about that. That is true. Because I listen to it. There's a lot of jazz. But the shit, he's such a vibe. But it's like a wave.

It's like when you in there waves. Yeah, yeah. He's a lot of shit. You know, that's such that your mom never got. You know what I'm saying? You're like, y'all listen to all this dumb-ass rap. They ain't talking about nothing. Now that's what we say on that.

No, for sure. You see what I'm saying? We'll become the young empire. So we got to look at it like that we just forget because you get old. You're like, that ain't hit. You don't want to become that old hater. Yeah. That's what, you know, the crazy thing was

I started to notice when I didn't like the new music that was the time of my life when I wasn't going to clubs. Just like how you said, at one point I've been going to Atlanta so long. At one point I used to go to Atlanta and say, yo, it's Brooklyn in the house and everybody was like,

and I'm like, oh, these nigs ain't from Brooklyn. But when the music that I didn't like, when I didn't go to that town, once I went to that town, it's like, you got to hear, the first time you hear Trick Daddy, If you're in Miami, you get it. You get it.

That is Miami. That is the pulse of Miami. So when you hit Amigos and you went motherfucking, what's that, what's that players club out in Atlanta? Or you went to motherfucking one of them good clubs, you will appreciate it. So sometimes when you're older and you ain't moving and you ain't hanging out with the old. You don't know what you're doing. I used to hate going to the club. I see everybody singing the song and I don't know.

I hated that. I was like, oh shit, what the fuck. I am losing it. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a sign of you. That is a sign of your old. You better know one word. Yeah, all playing off in there with the amount thing.

Bad and boogey. You better know that. At least, yeah. No, at least one word in the song. That's one word. That's like keeping you. I'm really trying to even keep my youth. I just like music.

And I just understand it. And plus, I'm like in the bridge between old school and the young school. You know what I'm in. And I'm like that bridge in between. He didn't say new school. He said young school. Yeah, I mean, whatever. they call them this because I mean

them nigga you know what I'm saying like I'm not them nigga I'm not young like you're like individual Now what's your baby era music

I had to say 90s 90s to I don't think y'all realized how gold and it was at that time like now you're like you're like

individualism Like you mean uniqueness Nobody wanted to sound like the next person You couldn't do it And I think I was one of the first generation to grow up on it because I was absorbed in all. And just to think the person from Jackson, like, this was before the internet or nothing.

So you had to really find music back then. You know, digging the crate, sir. Yeah, you had to really find, you might have one radio station. And the fact that I knew every, I knew every album that came out on them or DJ Quick and all that from all over there. That says a lot. Like, we had a lot. We had to absorb a lot. and it made us who we was.

Like, it made us a lot bad, too. Like, it didn't a lot, y'all fucked our minds up to you. Yeah. But you know, when I noticed about the 90s music, we thought y'all was really doing that shit. We really, it was about making a whole body of work. Like, the only difference right now is most of these guys, they get a single.

It's about, it's a single-driven. You know what I'm saying? But that's because they're high our minds working that teaching. And these young kids are getting too high out here. Perkinset, Pauli, Perkinset, they got to stop. That's changing all. They gotta stop. They are dope fiends.

Like, do you know what the fuck y'all are taken? That is a form of heroin. We gotta, we gotta teach our babies better than this. Our generation failed them. Because we, it's awful. Like, it's all my generation's poor. It's awful. It's.

It's. We dropped the ball. We dropped the ball. Because we're too busy having a good fucking time. Yeah. That's what I think. We stopped being OGs. We stopped being OG.

Yeah, yeah. We stopped being old. But that comes from hip-hop. Because hip-hop makes you forget how old you is. You know what I'm saying? You don't really. think about that. When my mama was like that and something, I never thought the chibi I had

gotten and in the club still. But these moms, where did we go? I know what he's saying. When you want 40 to be the new 30, when 40 can't just be 40. But you're not proud to be your age. That's the problem then now. But you don't know that. That like age comes with a certain amount of respect

and a certain amount of stripes. Because everybody ain't going to make it. Yeah. Very true. where you at, where I'm at where you had even, and nothing is guaranteed. Right. Because at the end of the end of the day you think about the hip-hop.

So put stripes on that and put a respect on that. You have to. You have to. You have to put some strikes because, I mean, it is hard to get here. Especially when you talk to where all that environment that all comes from. I never even thought about being this age for you young.

Right, yeah, you're right. You're right, right. My goal was 21. I'm 39. I'll be 40 this year. My goal was to have hit 21. 18 I think I was going to celebrate But 21 I was like y'all

That's it That's all I wanted to be old enough to drink Yeah That's it I never even thought about You never thought about One thing you thought about Like I get saying I get old

I could so I can go to heaven That's what I thought about I just say But I'm gonna have a good time right now Right Right But hip hop did that Because hip hop is about being cool

Right So you So as you're going You still cool Cool cool cool you're around You don't cool your way to 50 Uh huh You know what I'm like

Yeah That's dope. That's dope. 50 years, shit, man, you know, they do it another generations

and that's one of the reasons, like I said, we said the heirlob has grown up, though. The hip-hop is grown up. And so we're not going to be our parents at 50 at 40. We're going to be us at 40.

But we are the cool. But we do have to be 40 and 50. Yeah, we've got to act because the fact that it's, it's promoting being drug addicts is terrible. Like, it's like, I mean,

weed is, that's great. That's a herb. These guys are actually promoting drinking permitting zine. Yeah, me and heroin. That's fucking harrowing. Like that shit is half of. It's our fault, though.

I'm not smoking this shit. You smoke adjacent, baby. God damn it. And what the fuck did you give me, DJ pool? Please tell the people this guy. That's an abrog and a cigar. That sounds scary. It was almost like a whole ounce road into one cigar.

You're smoking you disappear. $1,000. $1,000 scar, very rich. That's why I had to get my robe. I was like, let me get my robe, let me feel like a mobbed. That's like a house. Compressed in? It's like a house?

Yeah, it's just compressed all into one, you know. What's your favorite record you ever produced? My favorite record I ever produced. I don't know. I'd probably say a record I did called No Idea. It features Cam, West Coast Cam. and then everybody else that was on the song,

The Computer Love, Roger Troutman, Charlie Murdoch, and Charlie Wilson. And it was on my album, Bad News Travels Fast. My favorite record I ever made in the world. And you never fucking heard it, so fuck off. I'm going to start stepping in that.

Yeah, what year did that come out? What year was that? Before Cam came out with Peace Dream? I was in jail. I got excuse. No, it was after that. Right after. Yeah, it was after that.

Yeah. I just put my finger. And you could do edibles and all that? I do it all now, man. How long have you been smoking for? I'm amazed. I can't even believe that story. Something fishy about the story.

That's crazy to be. Everybody thinks it's publicity. So what made you start smoking then? I don't know. I always like the way it smelled. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But I just was one of them niggies,

because everybody in my hood then I'm like, I'm not going to do it. You know what I'm so when everybody had a gold grill, I didn't get it because I didn't want to be like this evening. You know what I'm saying? Your own time. Yeah, I went to do it my own time, and then on top of that, it's almost like it was, I was supposed to do it

because it's almost, they always embraced me that coach. The marijuana, because they thought I smoked weed. I never smoked weed. Yeah, I was fucking fooling us. We all right out there on MySpace because I thought he smoked weed. Your Mike's face is still fucking me. I never saw anybody. I never said if I did or didn't because I didn't want to push them people away.

You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, he just held the floor. You think what you want He's celebrating 420 For no reason It's almost time, y'all But then after why I was like, man You know what?

Because after that move I was like, I'm not supposed to be smoking weed, man Everything, I didn't have another weed move with Devon to do You know, shout out there That's the hell of smoking right there That dude the coolest Yeah, man

He lives the perfect life Like he's the Willie Nelson of him pop. Shout out to Oz. squad. Wow. It's like that motherfucker's cool as fuck. So tell the,

tell the kid that, you know, was probably from Jacksonville or they're from Atlanta or they're from, you know, Compton or they from, how does a person start his comedic career? If you, if, there's somebody right now that is funny,

he don't know how to structure his funniness to make it a business. It's a different game right now. I think it's a new genre. Like, before the way we had to do it, you had to do stand-up to get the movie. Now you don't really have to do that. Now you can go.

get on the internet and YouTube 17, and say it and make them skits and build up a buzz because I've seen a couple of dudes

that they might need be stand-up funny but I'd be like man I'm gonna be good in the movie Right You know what I'm saying Like sometimes

You run across them dudes And it ain't They're not It's funny Yeah see another thing See the thing About that internet

though You can fool People too You can edit But you can edit You can edit But I can read You gotta be able to be a good

Yeah I can read Because Believe or not, I was one of the first to start doing all that shit on the internet. You can Google that. Like, I ain't going to lie about it because I don't like to be wrong. But you can Google that. You'll see, I was going to fucking.

You can't what I'm saying. So I understand what they're doing because I kind of created the mold of it, the blueprint of it. So I can read to like, now this nigga kind of funny. This nigga naturally funny. He might not know how to do stand-up, but he's naturally funny. And I know how to get what I can out of him to produce what he did. Kind of like what he did with me.

Like this is really all I Even from day one All I want to do is these type of movies Right Funny, funny, like weed type of movies And then over time

They start doing other shit And that shit fell off And I was just out there Doing rap video But that's what I was asking you earlier Like are you ever That's what made you so good In rap video

Because I That's it comes from these Are you gonna go to a point In your career You think that you're gonna It's gonna be Acting is gonna mean more than being funny Like

Like a Jamie box? I think it's going to be a... I know what you're saying. For me, it's all the part of the expression. Like, I like to entertain people. I like to get my point across. Sometimes I might make a song. Sometimes I might make a joke.

Sometimes I might do a skit. Sometimes I might sing. I might perform. You know what I? I just like to get my shit off. And sometimes coming is the easy way to get it off. And if I can do it in a story, in a real movie, I mean, not a real movie,

but a movie that's not a book. coming out. That's what I'm asking you. That's my point is like will you try that? Hell yeah.

Oh, okay. I try it with him too because I know I could trust that he can guide me in the right away. Right. Smart. That's the smartest thing too.

That's what makes like like the people like Dre and Snoop or Timberlin and who he with or miss it because you need somebody that can coach you. That's what wins.

James because I know he's a good coach. All right. I need you know. I definitely I definitely want to work with you DJ Pooh because I'm definitely a fan of everything you're doing like everything you did and you know besides you being the cool

he's like the coolest thing in the world though you sit back calm like he you are if Marijuana was a person that's who you are like if marijuana came alive as DJ boom and if marijuana can talk back to you and shit

that's exactly who DJ Boo is let's make some noise for that goddad how we're at 45 so yeah We're going to be in 45 minutes? Yeah, that's the only. But I had y'all kidnapped. Look, let me just describe how this just happened.

I landed. Got in front of the hotel. I said, oh, shit, there's a little bit of a ball right there. I walked over and gave them a five. And it's a motherfucker de jay food right there. In front of the hotel, and I'm like, yo, I need y'all on the podcast today. And they did it. This is real nigg-knit shit.

We want the fans to know that. We be, and we locked in. So we wanted the fans to go out there. Right? This is hip-hop. This is how hip-hop. We make it up on a spot. It's not hip-hop when it's like, well, you know what? How are my manager in them today? You know what I'm saying? Like as if we always

fucking run into each. Nah, nah, we did it, right? And we don't like getting people on publicity runs, like, specific. That's how I do shit. I do shit on a handshake. Even with him, we talk to each other before we go through all that shit there. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? Very good.

That's how, because that's how we met you like that, then that's how I'm going to keep it like you. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. If I would have met him through the other people, then it would have been like that. But I met him like this.

He came to me first. Right. So if I got any problem or anything, I'm going to go to him. Right. I'm going to say, we ain't got to talk to them. We can talk to him. I can talk to him and it's a... That's how business should always be conducting.

It's not as much. It's not. It's not. They let the other people cross the teeth and Dr. I. Yeah. But don't let them dictate how we can get down and what we do. Shit really be simple, right. That's a fuck-up relationship.

The shit really be simple. How did you meet Charlemagne? Me and Charlotte May he fell on MySpace, too. Yo, gross, man. You're killing it on MySpace. I've been popping on this space. Let me find out. You still got your profile on MySpace.

I do. I'll go to throwback Thursday, yeah, but I go back Thursday, you make them over there. DuBorg, when you go back time, probably be there. Where to fuck you, you, man? Yeah, where you're being,

nigg, ever since you left, this shit, I'm coming off. But no, like, no, but I've got to ask. You ain't meet your girl on MySpace. to do that. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. I mean, they're on Instagram. This thing is the same media crazy. Nick, I've been on this shit.

Y'all are new to this shit. I've been to know about all this shit. It's crazy to see how this social media grew to this. You know what I'm saying? Just to see what it is. Because I always knew, like, nigger, this is what's going on.

That's why I jumped on it. So, you know, I'm married, right? So I don't be seeing it, but I seen it do it the other day. You see it. I was even doing the other day. He goes to a chick and say, he didn't even ask for a number. He said, what's your Instagram? I said, oh, shit.

That's how they bag in business. But it's actually smaller than that. How, break it down. Like, you can actually go in the time that I see what you're dealing with. In the club, you don't really, when did I tell you talking to somebody in the club? I'm married. People don't do. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, well, I understand. Try to slip me up. He got to slip me up. Do you hear the man? a bit. You got to relax. You got to relax. Get out.

But the point, you know. You got to be dealing with old niggins. No, but I'm just saying, like, at the day, I just think it's, like, easier to meet people online. Because people... That do make sense. That's a tool. But that's a tool that we didn't have.

Yeah, but we talk to each other. You don't got to worry about it. You can talk to people after that. That's true. That's true. I still talk. Yeah, we did, we did, the motherfucker. I went in a restaurant the other day.

Nobody. was doing everybody was like this the whole fucking restaurant I walked there and I was like damn I'm like we in Maui I'm like I took a bitch of it look at all these dumb motherfuckers look yeah we don't even communicate

no more you go to a restaurant y'all both on the phone this shit's what technology going do I mean we're not pretty much gonna need to talk no more but as they said or one of them memes was funny they had all the emojis

talking about we was going back to like hieroglyphics yeah straight right yeah It really are. We don't really need to... We're losing some people's skills there, you know? Actually, I've seen some technology not to go to this whole other deep shit when I'm hot. Oh, shit.

But, like, I've seen something on this show where it can read your body language. It can read your thing, certain muscles in your body, and it'll make this thing do it on the screen. Like, it opened up. Like, you can think, I want to open up that flower. It'll open up. There's some hot nigger shit right here. No, for real. So I'm saying?

like you only have to talk to somebody. Oh, no, yeah, they do got the shit that's connected to the brain that people are using with the, when they losing love. Honestly, if you think about it, you don't talk to nobody now because you can get full feelings through text. Yeah. So you ain't talked damn time, but y'all have been communicating through text. You feel like, damn, I know this motherfucker.

So it's kind of the same thing. You see what I'm going there? I'm high, but I know what I'm talking about. Come on. There's definitely some high-nigger shit, though. It's definitely that's why he's the only nigga in head and head. Nah, I know. Oh, yeah, right.

Catch a contact. The Royal House of D.J. Thursdays. So what's next? What's next for DJ, what's next? Is it a... Man, I never know, man. I always keep a few, you know, a few in the chamber. Mm-hmm.

So you load it up, and then we just kind of, you know, and you were part of all Fridays, right? All of the Fridays. I get credit on next Friday and Friday afternoon. Oh, you get credit. But I didn't have anything to do with the writing on them. I just... Because I see it still.

Me and Q haven't worked together a lot, but we're working on last Friday. Did we just let the hat out the bag? Now, Q can't put it out there. Oh, he did our podcast. I think he mentioned it in our podcast, yeah.

But let's just still act like we breaking news. And I don't think you said nothing about that. Last Friday. Now is Chris Tucker. You know what? I don't know. I think it's going to boil down to once we have a spread. I could definitely holler at me. I just want to be a part of the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I might pay for my own flight and hotel too. Smoke got to be the great daddy in here by that time. Nah, smoke you got to come back. He will have a big great day. I'm trying to get the pause.

And you know what the greatest thing is? Friday is really one day. So he don't got to come back and be old. He just come back. He got his shape. He went to the gym. He looking young. That's the best part of the body. man man he old right because what was it what was it um rancho cuckumonga yeah

I never knew that was a real place oh yeah I didn't need to tell him to do a show I thought y'all made that shit up and then yeah I got booked

the rancher cuckumumma I was like what I said that I was like somebody somebody playing with me for real so man listen man both for you brothers

man we thank y'all for your time thank you all for your time if it's anything y'all want to tell your fans your people's you know our fans, you know what I mean, you just, you know,

talk. Where to catch the film at, like, Gwen, what? You just in theaters everywhere. If you want to find out which theater in your city, go to Fendago.com, and you can see it. I mean, it's a funny movie. Wait, wait, but that's very interesting. I was thinking y'all was going straight to DVD. You're saying, this is in theaters.

Yeah. And it's independent. Yeah. You got to break that down for the people that's listening. Tell them. You just broke it down. Man, we're going to a theater. It's like, how far you want to break them?

You know why? You made a phone call. You time this one. But listen, you got to realize when people here independent, they think it is just you. Like, there's nobody else. So, like, you're actually on the distribution. That's the hard part of the part. The hardest part is to get theatrical distribution.

That's where the money is, right? We're working with a company Rocky Mountain High along with Hollywood films. Oh, my God. And, yeah. Holly Weefeel. Yes. God, I love it. And we're pushing it forward, man.

and we, we, you know, we're not frown upon weed, you know what I'm saying, like it's crack. Don't frown upon it because you're going to be used to it in a couple years. Like, West Coast is pretty much like 10 years, especially Cali. I think it's like 10, 8 to 10 years

ahead of the East Coast. No, of course. You've been to Amsterdam before? Yeah, yeah, I've been. Cali for us, like, the... But Cali just got the best weed. The best weed. There's no good. That's out of the country to me.

Oh, no. That's damn is good. Jamaica got some good. You got to go to 10th of the best. Beverly Gardens to get a good weed in Jamaica. You got to go to the hood. Orange Hill. Orange Hill.

Orange Hill. I've been to Mountain View and Sea View. I'm on point, he says. Mountain View and Seavoo. Every time I say Jamaica, my little accent come out. I'll be fake Jamaica. It's not illegal there, though, in Jamaica. No, it's good. That's true.

Oh, yeah, because I know before. No, it cleared. It cleared. Before, as soon as you get off the plane, still. Oh, no, yeah. You go always that. At the end of the ban. Always right.

They had like a sack you put your hand in and you just pull out. I had did that before too and I got back to my room and I ended up with some ants and shit was crawling around. I was like, wow, who the fuck would smoke this? But at the end of that, man, weed is good because it's no what, like, liquor and killed more people than weed. Straight up. You know what I'm saying?

Cigarettes is definitely more dangerous. This is way more dangerous than that. So why they have, and it's proven that it's brought crime break down in Denver. That's real. So, I mean, if it's real. I ain't been in Demma since it's been legal again. Oh, really? I've been in Denver when it was illegal.

And I ain't get booked. Yeah, you're niggas in Denver. Fuck me, man. And you know what's always so funny. When the fans just hit you and say. Yeah, Vegas now, too. I just came to Vegas. I bet you go to Vegas.

You'll go to jail for a seat in Vegas. You for real? Yeah. And Florida made it medical and decriminalized it too. But Vegas got ass, though. Remember how they used to have the ass for the, like the strip clubs? And they got ass for weed. Yeah, yeah.

I was in Vegas and witnessed too short getting booked. for something like this. I was standing next to him. He was like, police rolled up on him and he had something like this in his hand. And they locked him up for that. And they took him to get.

You know what I seen with ice field the other day, Stanley? Oh, man. I told him I'm going to keep off the grass. Brother Ryan. Brother Ryan. Yo, man, I just want you out of know Friday,

that was very, really, really a classic movie. That was something. All right, I'm going to tell you, music, uh, introduce a, to what the West Coast was, right?

We got to know that. And then we had boys in the hoods and colors and all this, but we needed to understand that it was California and, you know, the West Coast was just, was regular niggas just like us. And Friday identified with every person. I've never seen a movie that's more like... Relatable.

Relatable. Relatable. I think that's why people, you know, really did take to it, man, because everybody know like the crack kid everybody anybody knows my heart's borrowing shit and what was your character somebody like the meat neighbor don't walk on my grass up type you said you said it's gonna be both for ours you know that you know him yeah yeah it's good my father tripping non-comfitational all the way yeah my father tripping you know what we gotta take a shot we take a shot

You can't tell him. I'm lying. I'm sorry. Well, you got a clean cup from me? Or you hit that cup and then I hit another.

I hit it right now. Oh, okay. We got a clean cover. Plenty of your cups right here. Oh, shit, this is breaking again. That should be breaking like a mother. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, they don't put that one up there.

No, that's that. Everybody had wild years in their life. Like, you know, when you was out of control, you was out of control sober? Yeah. If I wasn't really bad, man, I was just hustling. You know, I wasn't the shooter. I was doing the other guy.

I'm going to tell you why patron is dangerous. You can sew up. The next day? It stays in your. It stays in your life. In your fucking new birds. Mexicans hate that shit. They said they wouldn't get it.

that shit that they dog. But Chon's not. Your Don Julio's the better to kill. By the way, by the way, that's what I told me. By the way, we just took us, we, taking a sip of Delion. The Delion is the best. The best. Oh, yeah, the best. The best to kill it in the world, by the way. I want to throw that out there.

Zach agrees. Mourful game, here open. Come on, relax, DeWall. Come on, my man. We family, we're family. Okay, okay. Hi. Joking. Now, what's, what's, um,

What's your next show that you're doing? Because I know you was part of Guy Cod and all that. Doing that hip hop squares. Oh, Hip Hop Square. You're actual... Yeah, they always show me love on that. I guess I'm like one of them residents in the hip-hop square. I mean, I'm just doing what I'm supposed.

That's cubes, right? Hip-off squares is dope. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can get a chance to see it actually. And I'm a little disappointed in myself because I've seen every episode of love at hip-hop. And that should come on right after. So how? Cube stepped into that and made that mother.

fucking fly. Not to mention he's on shit. Because he did it before that. Not to mention. A word. Cube wasn't involved. It wasn't yeah. I had heard of. Like you can see it wasn't Peter Rosenberg. Yeah. You can see Cube's handprint on that. Right. And then when you look at

a cube doing some big shit like three. The big three. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And shit like that's amazing. Like he's stepping up on some way of the shit. This is why hip hop is dope. You know what I'm saying? This is why hip hop is dope. You got people like that transitioned from, from, from, from, from, from,

from fuck the police to, you know straight out of Compton into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame basketball league and all that I did you like that movie straight out of Compton I loved it I loved it I thought it was incredible man

you know and I know and I understand you know I was there That's what I was to say That's why your opinion is It was different for all this It was some of everybody's story You know Into a movie

because you understand the movie process this wasn't in there it's like you can't put everything in a movie you just can't and you got to take it from people point of view because we always think like because everybody got a different story on something

yes you do you might tell your story and you might tell your story and of course anybody going to tell you and at the end of the day I'm going to get it with my hand he was going to put it in at the end of the day

Gary Gray taking all these stories and making a brilliant film was exactly what happened because I had that Gary actually went and interviewed people for all like like you know the people and I heard it he actually going to turn this into a documentary

like of the actual real photo what story would you want to hear about like if you can hear your own hip pop story my own your own my own my own my choice I would like to do a movie on Clarence 13X he was the leader

of the 5% nation of Islam his story to me it's like an outpost story without the drugs but he was on drugs he wasn't selling the drugs you know what I'm saying but he changed the culture so I'm actually going to try to do that right now that sounds kind of like what they're going through now

because these kids aren't you know here's the problem when we grew up we were we were we were we were god bodies we were 5% so you had a certain type of righteousness that you had to have about you in that era

right now we don't have that we got gang culture The game coach is controlling even the East Coast. You understand what I'm saying? So where's the balance? Levels spelled back with his level. You've got to balance it. So where's the balance?

So I want to make a movie about what I saw, because when I saw growing up, the OGs made me go to school. The Liggas will be like, yo, what are you doing? You cutting school? Get the fuck out of here. The niggas will put me in the car and take me to school. Right now, the niggas getting hired with them,

niggins. Right here, come here, Shored. Back the day, you didn't get high with you. You know what I'm scared. I'm scared. Did it help you? Yeah, but what I'm saying is

it was organization. Like we actually, like a village, it takes a village, what they say? Like, I actually felt that growing up. Like,

I know personally, I didn't do that for a lot of the young knickers. I was like, fuck, what are you doing? All right. But I was famous. But I was famous

that I didn't want to seem like I'm the guy that was like empowering you because I'm famous. You know what I'm saying? So it was different for me. But I personally, definitely dropped the ball.

Yeah. We all did. The whole generation dropped the ball. That's part of growing up, man. So us dropping the ball comes from somewhere, from the generation before us. Mm-hmm. To go away.

And there's just a... Like a domino effect? Yeah, and it's not like, you know, we didn't have help with hands in that. Right. Other hands in that, too. Ambitious, well-intentioned, ferocious, and wealthy mother looks like in the black community.

We are predictably unpredictable sleep. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

And this is Freddie Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos.

Dos Amigos Season 2, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us. and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now?

It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is. Because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that pushed us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull. up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the Ma'i Cultura Podcast Network

available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Now, what was the relationship with Tupupac? I'm always just a friend. There's always somebody that I knew in there for being. Real cool cat.

Back digital underground days as well? Going back that far back? And I worked with POP for these records on All Eyes on Meen. And what do you think about that movie. You know that was my next question, right? It's going to be super

do super, super, super did you see what? I saw some of the movie. What I saw was dope. Did you see? I'm going to shit with nobody. The outlaws. Hey on it, but L.T.

hunting. As a movie or as facts? So you're like the same? As a, just what I saw as a movie, I think it's going to be dope. I can't say, you know, factually you all that. I've seen it in a whole

wall together. But from what I saw, Wow I can't wait Joe 16 I didn't Straight out of Compton

You know what I ain't going to predict nothing But I'm going to say it's definitely It's not It's not You know People have I've seen people hate on it

It haven't even seen it You see the outlaws Part of it And ain't the way I can hate On what I saw So I don't know what the hell they saw But it was the one dude From that not the outlaw

Okay What was his name? Noble Noble? Noble. Oh it was a noble? Yeah. He had just wrote a letter.

An open letter to all hip-hop. Do you remember it more than me? Because I remember it, but I was a little distressed. What was it? I mean, I don't think he had beef with the movie. I don't think he had beef with the movie. He was just explaining that a lot of, he feels like some of the things that they're doing is entertainment purposes as opposed to because he feels like he has that.

Yes. That's why it's a movie. Yes, that's why it is a movie. And that's the hardest part about telling somebody's story is like when it's like yeah we want to have it to where when like you had this party you know the people were like you know it was a lot more women there they were a lot better looking it's like it was the girls you know no i had on blue shoes you know it wouldn't raise shoes the fine detail the fine detail is real important to some people and that's why they usually they they don't even let those

people come on to the set if you want a real thing that's a documentary well this is going to be right no you're right you're right this is like it's like whoever story it is sometimes they don't even get it But he went deeper than that. He was saying that they weren't allowing them. Yeah. Like their involvement in the film, the estate, the mother, like all this different stuff that he was throwing. It was, it was like. John Singleton.

It was like, Dan. Like, if you read it like all. There's like, there are differences in opinion and disagreances on every project. Right. And sometimes when it's just put out there in public, you know what I'm saying? Everybody can weigh in on it You know why this is going to be more controversial Is because

The reason why this is going to be more controversial Is because Pac is not here to actually say No or yes This is exactly how it happened Like the great thing about straight out of Compton Is M.C. Ren is here? Who story is the All Lives? I mean, who is it?

Who is suspected is coming out? I believe it's Afini. I'm not sure. No, I don't think so. No, it's from Pops' point of view? I mean, you saw parts of it. I mean, I believe it's just a story being told from a writer's perspective

that was given this from a collection of people and information of research which I think is usually the best way to do because when you hear you know usually not just in speaking of Pox's case but he'll be like oh man you know no I had a billion dollars no I had a million

I had a billion you know and they you know Trump shit and big of the Benny Boom because he's a very tough job right now he has to pick up the phone so he started the Tupac project but that's a the story. I thought I was calling for a role.

Relax, Nick. I'm on the video. I think a lot of it is it being made, but this was a film that was to be made for all the period of time. Yes. And so now the fact that straight out of comedy came out and everybody suddenly it's like, oh, well, this is happening, just because

of this and that, it's like people, for all the wrong reasons, are judging it. I think we just got to kind of let it happen. And to go back, I want to go right back there, but to go back to what you asked me earlier, that was like my passion project, but if you, I feel like

like you was acting hip hop. Either one, no. Big pun. I would make the big pun movie. That would be amazing. Yeah, I would make the big pun movie. His story got to be told. You know what I'm saying? But see, that's the thing about it. It's like, how do you do that? How do you even start that project? I know you got to go through the state. You know you got

to go through that. But what if I'm telling a pun story from my perspective? That's why you call the alibi? Yeah, because. Yeah, because. Because I don't... Well, that's the mess that he's talking about. Perspectives. Yeah, I don't feel it's necessary to go and ask somebody else's a perspective on somebody I consider it my best friend in hip-hop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, legally and technically, you don't have to go to a public figure and say, I'm going to tell this life story, you know. You know, nobody wanted Lifetime Channel to tell the Jackson story. Yeah, and TLC shit. Yeah. Right.

So you can't stop people from doing it, but when you don't have people's blessings, I think that's... It makes it unauthentic, yeah. It makes it unauthentic. It just makes it rough for that. It's just, it's always messy, kind of. Yeah, it's messy. And it's like, who's making the money from this if we are? Yeah.

Because, just because it doesn't have that blessing doesn't mean it's not even more factual. Right. Doesn't mean, you know, some people may not have wanted certain things to be said. seen or didn't want it to be money made off of it and all it could be a million different reasons why people have their beeps over something being made or rather the actual people or

the family or whatever a state are we doing it. I can tell you who I want like while I exit because you know who I want to play when you say Sears Road I want to play Jay Prince I want to do his story Jay Prince Story beat. You're mad smart

Like I want to do that type of shit but yeah you can't be funny though He's not for the shit No, I mean, but But that was For my idea, it's like, he's kind of a little funny too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But not on camera. There's nothing. No, I'm just saying as far as, you don't have to be. He is funny. He is funny. But it's not a half. You don't have to be like,

oh, right, right, right. The Jay Friends story that is. Jay France. I'll play, I want to do the freeway. Rick and Ross. I thought you was talking about freeway. I'm about saying you got to. His story, he needs.

That movie needs to be made, too. Like, those two. Those two there I want to do those two stories Like if I had to do somebody I think those two Rick Ross Freeway Rick Ross

Because you can't You can't do freeway No no no I'm your friend I'm not like my friend No no no I'm not gonna tell you No No no I'm talking about

We gotta stop We gotta stop You can't do this I don't But we definitely to hear Even if it ain't for me doing Jay Prince story You know Jay Prince story

That's like the founder That needs to be The South, like, he's pretty much, was the kid. Yeah, that is dull. That is dull. He's like Russell Simmons in the South. Right. So him and Luke, got to give it to Luke.

I'm about to say Luke. Come on. He hit his story, too, because really, he brought all the freaky shit to him about. Right. You know what I'm saying? Who could play Luke? That's funny. Who can play Luke, but it'll be fun for them.

Yeah. Kevin Hart? Play Luke? Who? I went too far? Who's that? Kevin Hart. I went too far?

I just don't see it I can't see it Now how does comedians feel about Kevin Hart Being that Kevin Hart is like The forefront of comedy right now Like I always say like Ari Spears Like I always say like Ari Spears And we've seen which has happened

God bless him We didn't I thought all the comedians have a pass I always thought like you could tell me anything And offend me But the fact that you're a comedian I'm gonna give you the past But how does comedians feel about like Kevin Hart

Because Like I said I hear people like Eric Spears say they say this, this and that about him. I can't speak about it. I can't speak about it. Okay, that's even better than that. I feel he deserved everything he did because he was going to go. You know his first movie he ever made was called Paper Soldiers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The first time you ever seen him on film with me. It wasn't because of you. I felt like I feel like I got something to do with it. He had nothing to do with that. I thought we bonded. No, we didn't act like it. I'm a little bit.

A little bit. Yeah, but. Nah, but he did all that on his own. Now, he worked on. Hollywood had pretty much said fuck him after it, because he was already popular in Hollywood. He had his own... Soul train put a little...

No, before so... Before so plain, he had a sitcom and all it. But it flop. Yeah. Not the husband's the Hollywood. No, it's way before all this. He said before soap on it. Yeah, he had his own...

I forgot the name of it. I forgot the name of it, but actually, he had his own sitcom. Get the fuck out. And it flop. Like, a lot of people. out of this sitcom and them bitches go away and you forget. And you forget. You know what I'm saying? So he's

been in the record thing. He's done the run as far as in the Hollywood thing. And then he still when he started doing his own thing like when social media came out and the deal between me and him, he monetized on this shit. I was just having fun. I'm still having fun of a shit. But

he actually took it and said, boom and he created his buzz. And he did all this shit he's on. He deserved all that shit he did. I want the fans to listen. That is the new hottest word. for 2017. Monetize. He did.

I hear that shit all the time. Same thing for Calatis. How you monetize? I think it's always been a hot word. Monetized. I just restarting the real life. Hold on. Okay, we need to start monetizing.

But I took, because Kevin Hart is funny to me. So when I hear another comedian. But comedy is subjective. What's funny to you might be funny to me. What's funny in? So that's why you can't compare it. And it's like rap. Like, we always, like, in rap,

you don't never say who the best. I mean, like, it's only one rapper can pop. You got a thousand rappers pop. You got a new rapper. It's the same in a comedian. You don't have to have just one favorite comedian. But people think you do. Niggers think you do.

Niggas think you do. Niggas, they only one community to be at top. But shit. I mean, you have a... Rappers, you got all types of rappers out here. So it's just whatever you, whatever your vice is. There can only be one great country singer. Yeah, no.

A great rock singer. God. Carl Brooks. That's my nigga. You don't hear that shit. In my mind, I smoke, for them. You don't hear that shit. But in comedy,

as far as black comedy, you only can let one win. There should be a wide range of choices. And I think that's what makes people even better because it makes a little bit more competitive in a good way. Because when there is a little competition, the fans always benefit. Why do we don't have records like self-destruction and all in the same gang?

Because that's the I don't give a shit error. This is the get high. Now, this is the half-fun, think about consequences. later. That's one thing I would say about these kids. They ain't scared of shit. These kids ain't scared of nothing, but they don't realize, you know what comes with that, because they wasn't talking.

They just look at, like, if you look on social media, you want to have fun. Everything look fun, and they don't look like there's no consequences. And even the Fauscher, like the World Star era. The Foush shit is fun. Like, yo, it's fuzz up for likes. They got a bitch called, Meet Me Outside, catch me outside. She's poverty,

and she's popperton. We are making Bozo's famous. is a fact. We gotta stop. But I mean, it ain't them that's making this. The people make it. You can't blame the person.

You can't blame the person. Like, I think about somebody that you cast me outside. I was going to catch you outside. I mean, that's out of it. I mean, bitch. I mean, you can't know this.

It's the people. She's supposed to chase it. No, is this, is that? It's all a reflection of the culture as itself every, we all is here.

Because we get dumber. As we get better in technology, we get dumb as we all of all of emotion. So we're all emotions. So we all have to react first. That's why I always say fake care. Because we always fake care of our son.

That was always that filter, too. I like that. It wasn't where everything that everybody does can be seen by so many, so fast, so much. We got so much retention. Plus, you know, people ain't living for themselves no more. They're living for the public. They want to show. Yeah, yeah.

They're not enjoying their lives. When you share the video, you had people come over to your house and you popped it in the thing that showed it to us. And it was only one, like, Clayton and Martin only came on once a week. And it was, I remember when the cable box only had 30 channels. How old are you? You got old on the thing.

Come on, my space gave it away. I'm old. But in all respect, the shit on, he still got 30 channels. No, but I mean, but you got a variety of stuff. It's just like social media and music. Like, it's so much music out of it. It's too much. It's saturated.

That's why I always say. I say a nigger that don't follow nobody on social media is out of his mind. He's crazy because if you're just looking at your own shit, you don't understand that there's other people in the world doing some great shit. I always see that social media is only as good as the people you follow. That's in everything. It's just like everything you like. I follow people that I got nothing to come away because I know all these are. I know y'all nests. I know y'all like, I'm trying to learn other stuff.

I'm smoking, I'm drinking. Yeah, we know certain things, but I try to learn. That's how I learned through social media. Like follow Bruce Jenner. Yeah, no, I didn't. I see that. I don't know where you went through. Yeah, like you.

I just asked, man. You know what I like that? Fuck, no. They were my space friends. That's where I were my space friends. You were following them. No. That's the second friend.

Tom, there's all. No, but I mean, it's all how you. It's just like a gun. It's who use it. You know what I'm saying? It's anti-social media. It's about who used. It's how who use it.

I mean, how you use it? I mean, you can use it for protection and you can use it to kill somebody. It's not the gun. We just seen it. It's the same thing with the internet. It's some people learn from it. You got people that's learn more out of YouTube

than they're doing school. Yeah, reals up. You can learn how to build a plane through the thing. So it's something that for people that, you know, You can learn to build a bomb. So it's all in the person. They got shit like that. Now, is there a person that's like off limits as a comedian?

Like you did like, there's a rumor like don't say nothing about him. All people are already fuck with his kids. Okay. Everybody else, they're all free. They all free. If I feel a certain type of way, I'm never going to be, one thing with me, I'm not a disrespect from there. But if I see something and you fuck up, I'm going to catch you.

Right. You know what I'm saying? That's how I am. So we see just now every. Spears, I said his name, right? Every Spheres. We see just now that he did a podcast

and he was talking tough, they were talking tough to each other, and then the guy actually swung on Harry Spears. The dude doing the interview? Yeah, right? Yeah, yeah, he swung. He swung on him. I mean, but you asked for it. If you said I can do this,

do it. I'm not going to tell you I can beat your motherfucking ass and be surprised when you beat my motherfucker's arm. I'm gonna fight back if I think that I mean that's how I would think I would expect that yeah this thing

fold it up so I mean I don't know maybe I don't know I would even I would have hugged them or something like this in the camera right there we can't tussing until that camera ball

and I'm tussling towards that camera I need a bitch to follow or the name makers come out if I know I can't beat you but I mean I don't know I just maybe maybe yeah I gotta say with that

Okay. I gotta say with that that Aries didn't attack dude and I just have to say that some of us... I feel like ARI's gonna sue. Some of us can't handle a conversation and no matter

what somebody says, that's just what somebody says. There's a line you can push, I understand. But at the same time, if I can get anybody in here to react, then I'm pretty strong. But this is why I don't like to talk religion or politics.

Because I'm hearing this was over Obama he said something about he shit on Obama, Ari Spish I don't even know exactly what it was about Obama but it was something about Ari's something crazy about Obama so that's the only thing I do

because I only saw that you know, niggas ain't going to watch the whole thing yeah I got it what was that all that's all that's all that's all that all the nicks like that in the world everybody like that

I always feel there do you look for the comments that said yeah yeah yeah yeah Take me the ticket in the mark. 8.15. I'm going right there. That's all.

Let me watch that. One of Aries is baiting this dude and doing it and then now he's suing him or whatever. I'm not saying that's the case of nothing. Right. But I'm just saying. No, because for years. For years, it was like an unwritten rule. Like, if a comedian goes too far says something,

he has the ultimate golden pass. That he's a comedian. He's trying. Most young people don't even know what a comedian is for real for you. Because they're talking of. off what they think comedians, them dudes on the internet. So they ain't never been to a stand-up show now. So they don't really know what comedians is.

So in their minds, like you say, y'all mind, you're like, oh, he's funny, he's just talking crazy, and he didn't take an offense. Now, like, I got to a point, like, if I say somebody, rap, they'll call me. I'm like, is you for real? Calla call me one time. I had it, like, man, he's driven, man.

What happened, what happened? Walk us through the Calick call. One time, you're on Twitter, I always fuck with people. A couple people called me. I mean, what's the dude? Sean Jared. This thing got mad than me because I called him ugly. This is the other guy.

I was like, nigga, you make, I called you ugly, bro. Like, what, nigga, you were a man. Like, I didn't believe, like, I didn't realize how soft a lot of people would until the internet. Or how powerful you are. I mean, maybe that's weird. Because you can, you can shift the whole audience to think like that. But that's like in the school room. I treat that school club.

You know, every, ah, ha, ha, ha. I guess it's just people can't take that. Or you don't know how powerful you are because you know what it is. A lot of us got followers that go harder than we go. So you can say. Yeah, they'll push the buttons for you. But it happened to me all the time. You know how many time the b-hive and came to me?

Oh, yeah. And it's all bothered me. But you got to tell us the calis story. We didn't get the calis story. You got to tell us the cat-story. Oh, the calis story was, you know, he had Ace Hood. Right. And he was promoting him, and Ace Hood came out.

And so, and Ace Hood came out. the same day Jay Z came up. So I tweeted something like, I don't know who the fuck would put this shit out while Jay Z out. That was stupid. So Callie, man, man, why don't you say that, man? You know, man, he works out of this. I said, Callie, it's the truth for one.

Man, you know, I ain't being serious. I'm not trying to do that. No, there. No, I understand. Because the fine thing about the Ace was laughing, too. It's just Callie was passionate about it. He's super passionate. The Ace got his advance already.

That's why I'm going. college was like he need to make that back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess that's what it was, but you fuck it up. I'm thinking because at the end of the standard comedian. I've been in the room, like, they used to do Miami Improv and Coconut Grove. They all came

to see me perform and I rank on them all day and that. That's all that happens there, get ranked on. The only thing that ranked back was Trick Daddy. Trick Dad used to come back and forth with people, but everybody else, they knew what it was, so I'm thinking we can do that now, but on their internet, they wasn't

with that shit. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, no, no, no. You're gonna realize when an artist makes an album, we ain't never looking at it, like, this is a throwaway, we're always looking at it like, this is that one. So probably, you don't know what, you might have shifted energy. You ain't mean it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You ain't mean. I understand with him, I'm a comedian. Yeah, but this is like you. Yeah, but he's the artist. What do you say earlier? Some nicks don't even know what a comedian Yeah, he's not, you know. He do know, but he's Come to the comic clubs. The problem is you got a million followers. You got, you know, these people following you.

And there's certain people that wake up in the morning that just going to do what you do. They look at you when they say, oh, this thing is going to Starbucks. I'm going to Starbucks right now. I remember all the time on Jeff Combin Jam, like when Anthony Mason was in the crowd, and somebody was going to stay shing on him so bad. And it wasn't no big deal. Yeah. Like, we had roast.

It wasn't no big deal. You know what bad? We had a fruit. We had a circus era. It's a public. Social media is a public stage. Social media is a public thing. But Snoop is a perfect example.

You can say anything about Snoot. And he probably laugh hard than you with it. Right. Yeah. That's how I would think all right. And reposted it. And repost it. Because they don't take it serious because like it ain't personal.

It's not like I can tell you something. But Snoop has fun and he'll post something. And my friend is it. Yeah. Feel it be hurt. Yeah. No, you're talking about how people. Snoop can talk about somebody and they get mad.

Right. And it's joking. All right. Come on, people just can't tell you. That's the problem with social media because you remember Fabulous and Ray J got into it over a tweet. You know what I'm saying?

It's very dangerous out there. But at the end of the day, I understand why because it's like unless we had just talked about what we had did earlier, that's the part of the game the fans will never see it. Just us just sitting around smoking.

It's the same thing we doing now, but now we know the cameras is on. But earlier, we did the same exact thing. We sat around smoke, but people don't know that side of the story. So while when Little DeVos goes, man, he offense beard is white as shit. He a friend knows you playing. But then it's all your friends.

Yo, you fucking, your white beard, motherfucker. You know, you know. That happens to me all the time. That you don't know. I know, but they. But, but, but, but he's saying that some other people, the way they get offended. But that's what I'm saying. That's why I said people ain't like me.

Like, I don't just take stuff to the heart. Because like, people come to me all the time and say, but that's what makes you. That's why you enjoy it. You know what I mean? They don't post a picture saying I'm sucking some big fat lady toe. I thought you were going somewhere. That's what I'm saying.

They say I'm saying I'm saying that. You know what I'm saying they're going to put girls out. That's what I'm saying. Stuff like that, be laughing and everything. You know, you don't think this is. Not everybody can take a joke. That's the problem. That's the problem.

That's the problem. Everybody can't take a joke. Everybody can't take a joke. People are insecure. Especially artists. And you know what it is? It's like, like I said, like the beehive and all that. It's people who really think they're talking to you.

They don't really think that we just look at it and say, oh, look at this me. He reads, delete. And they don't think they were doing that. They're thinking that we're based on our whole life off of this comment that he just, they just said. And that's why life again. The film have come at me all the time. Yeah, yeah. You got to watch out.

But that don't bother me. It's like, that's why I never understood. But the Bihive is very dangerous. Beyonce's fans, leave them alone. They don't know that. What are they doing to you? No, no, no, I don't want the problem with the Bay is that to me. I respect them to me.

But what did you say for them to come at you? I don't know. But everything I say is never disrespect. So I can always defend. Every time they come out, I'll re-posting me like, boom, kill the head. Because they be kids. Most of the time, most of them are going to be talking crazy. Be kids.

Bored asthma. Yeah. And Rihanna's people, you can't fuck with Rihanna people, you can't have every half. What's up with the Army? Every R-B fans are thugged out online. They got the whole hot. That shit don't bother me, man.

Snoop's got a whole army of people. You fuck with Snoop, Snoop. Our drink chats army goes in. But they go in on us as well. Because they think they know us to the podcast. The model holes got a half, too. The model holes we have in hops. Like all of them of the holes got a hat.

Everybody got the eye. I didn't have all of them. None of them bothered me. Futures hob is very disrespectful. You see what they be doing of Russell Wilson? Oh my God. Oh, my God. They be in Russell Wilson comments.

I'm going to tell you who got the illest comments. Birdman, marry Jay Bligh's husband. What are you talking about as people or their fans? No, they're comments. They're comments. And Russell Wilson. Listen, anytime I'm a man.
