I went to his show yesterday. He not only tore it down, he brought the other comedians at the end to rank on each other. He got in on the Soulja Boy and the Chris Brown. I almost threw up the way he ran in on it.

He has done countless movies. One of my favorite is 45, 47. He has started out with one of the hardest roles ever by replacing Chris Tucker, a.k.a. Smokey. And I remember people in the movie theater just looking and saying, can this guy hold it down? And people left that movie theater and looking and saying, can this guy hold it down? And people left that movie theater, and they were satisfied.

And he kept going to top flight security in the world, man. He continues to do it. He continues to stay funny. He's my friend. Right now, I want to introduce the legendary Mike Epsi. Mike Epsi! First off, let's get to that dance. What is that dance? You know what, I did that originally in your video in 2000, what was that?

I don't know. I think it was 2001. 2001, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. And that was called Patchy Weave, because I see a lot of girls in the club patting their knees. I hate that shit, man. You want to drink some rosé first? Yeah, man. Isn't that cold rosé? And we got dulce for you and we got Old English.

It look like y'all got everything. We got everything. We also got, this is the upgraded tequila. Damn. This is Deleon. We heard you ordered Patron, but this is Deleon.

And they sponsoring. My AA classes are going down. Is there a cold rosé or no? It's all good. Whatever y'all got. Let's go. Let's go. We're going to pop a rosé.

We're going to hit some duce. Pop one of these motherfuckers. Oh, you're going to hit all of these for real? Yeah. Hit all of these for real. You a big guy. I ain't doing this. You a big guy.

Yo, we drink those at Cheeseburger, baby. We got to shout out Best Buy Liquors, man. Shout out to Best Buy Liquors for providing the liquor at the beer. Best Buy Liquors. Bestbuyliquors.com. Yeah, shout out where they at. They got five locations. Two in Kendall, one in Naranja, one in Florida City.

Best Buy Liquors. Also, shout out to Jim Beam. Shout out to Jimmy Beam. Yeah. I just seen that nigga at the club last night. Now, one thing I noticed about comedy shows, it is nothing like hip-hop. Meaning, people will come to hip-hop,

you know, dressed as whatever. People will come to hip-hop with the intent of doing something stupid. Last night, I walked in and I was so safe. It was so clean. At first, I said, damn, this ain't nothing like hip-hop.

Then you said, let's go smoke, nigga. And I said, okay, let's do hip-hop. But describe the comedy scene because it's a very safe environment. People come there to laugh. Well, you know, that's the thing. You know, comedy and hip-hop, I mean, I think comedy is a cousin of hip-hop.

I believe so. But it's kind of the square cousin of hip-hop. You know how you got a cousin in the family that really don't get into too much? But he is in the family. But he is in the family, yes. You know how you got a cousin in the family that really don't get into too much? But he is in the family. Because you got comments like Cat Williams and myself and many others. We did have some

brushes with the law. Cat Williams been having problems lately. Yeah, yeah. You ranked on him the other day too. He the DMX of comedy. Let's make some noise for Cat Williams. Is that accurate? Am I accurate? He's staying in jail. Yeah, he's staying in jail. He the DMX of comedy. He is. He is the DMX. Let's make some noise for Cat Williams. Yeah, man. The comedy.

Is that accurate? Am I accurate? Yeah, yeah. Good, good. Cat Williams is definitely the, but I got love for Cat, you know what I'm saying? And a lot of other comics out here, man. But like you said, the comedy game is a real smooth game. Everybody coming there to laugh, you know what I mean? It ain't like hip-hop where everybody going in there trying to show who's tough.

Exactly. Like, you know, when I go out with my wife, I'm very protective. You know what I'm saying? But last night, is that cold, Mr. Lee? Yeah. I can't. I mean, you don't know how to pop shit. Give me that.

Give me that. Come on, Mr. Lee. Yeah, yeah. So I'm protective. Dominican, man. How the fuck do you understand that? Dominican, Chinese. Yeah, Dominican, Chinese. That's what's up, man. I don't understand that. This nigga Dominican, Chinese. Dominican, Chinese.

That's what's up, man. We got Mike Epson. Let's make some noise. Trick champions. So, yo, man, you really came up there and you tore that shit down. You still love doing what you're doing. I do. You know what I'm saying? I've been doing stand-up comedy for 20-some years now. You know what I'm saying? I've been doing stand-up comedy for 20-some years now.

You know what I'm saying? And I really love it. And comedy, to me, is like my real bitch. You know how you got people to say they got a bottom bitch? Comedy is my bottom bitch.

Oh, I got to do you right. You know what I'm saying? Let me show you how we do it. How y'all doing? It's called Piscine. The Piscine. I'm going to do it in France.

Damn! You know what I'm saying? In France, in your mind. No, in France. That's my wife. But they don't's called Piscine. The Piscine. I'm not doing it in France. Damn. You know what I'm saying? In France in your mind. No, in France. That's my wife. But they don't call it Piscine in France. No, they don't call it Piscine. I call it Piscine.

That's how the police shoot they cunts. Nah, but comedy is like, you know, stand-up comedy is one of the things, man. You can't fuck around. Cheers, man. You know what I'm saying? Cheers. Cheers to Mike. You can't fuck around Cheers Cheers to Mike You can't fuck around

And leave comedy For even a second Or the bitch will be gone You know what I mean That's one of them things If I stop doing comedy For a month And I come back

And do comedy Man my time Would be off like a motherfucker So is it important Because at the end of the day Mike You're so huge You can just live off of movies Your residuals off of movies Why is it important For Because at the end of the day, Mike, you're so huge. You can just live off of movies. Your residuals off of movies.

Why is it important for you to still stay in front of, and you sold out. An audience. Yo, that audience was huge. Where were y'all at? What club was it? This was James Earl Myson. James Earl Myson. That's where the Sauce Awards was.

That's a big venue. You know what I'm saying? But see, you know know that's the thing. Even for hip-hop, no matter what you guys go out there and do, business ventures, money ventures, you still like to rock the stage because it gives you your edge. You get to still

stand in front of people. In front of real live motherfuckers, man. When you get an opportunity in the industry to do whatever you're you bringing the edge to it right you know I'm saying you can't leave the people yeah now where's Mike Epps originally from Indianapolis right yeah you fuck with the Colts and shit like that the Colts the Pacers and few niggas out there okay so now take us through this

so TK Kirkland came on here he said that he told you, convinced you to move to New York. Right. And is that where your comedy started or no? Well, I started doing comedy originally in Chicago. Damn. I used to go to. You was getting shot? You was getting shot?

They were shooting at you while you were doing comedy? No, no. You know what I'm saying? I originally started in Chicago, And I went to Atlanta, started performing for about a year. Then I moved to New York. And I lived in New York for 10 years, man. I lived, and you know,

when you ain't got no money and you move to New York. You moved to the real New York. Yeah, you moved to the real New York and you live in every borough. That you can afford at the time. I was jumping from every borough. The first city I moved to, I

stayed in Manhattan, you know, for a minute. I stayed uptown. And then I moved to Long Island City. Queens. Yeah, Queens. And then I went from Long Island City to Flatbush. I lived on Sterling and Flatbush. You turned Jamaican. You turned Jamaican.

So, you know, New York is definitely, I have to show all He did a tour of New York. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, New York is definitely, I have to show all the love and gratitude to New York because it's like a boot camp for any entertainer.

That's very true. If you can make it there, you can make it there. That's right. And I tell people all the time, man, if you want to go

to Hollywood, go to New York first because it's going to give you that. So, this movie happens. It's a movie. It's a cult movie in our culture. Titled Friday.

Okay. You hear that. Did you hear that it was a role? How did you? Because I heard Ice Cube discovered you at a club. Right. But how did you get? How did you even know that that role was up?

I had a guy, one of my producing partners named Niles Kirshner. He sound rich. Yeah, he's a black Jew. Niles Kirshner. Kirshner, yeah. Google him. Google him. You know what I'm saying?

And all kind of Jews going to pop up. Wait, wait, you said Jews? All kinds of Jews. Not your jewels, but Jews. Mazel tov. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, he had a friend that he was a roommate with a guy in college who really runs Ice Cube's Cube Vision. His name is Matt Alvarez.

They said, man, we got a comic, man, that's really, really good, you know. Let's do an audition with him, man. And they had a line of our dishes up at the Comedy Store And um, I did audition I said Hollywood right? Yeah, Ice Cube walked up to me man say that man. Can you act as a yeah? I didn't know And we went through the whole Auditioning process man, and it lasted for about a month because he was trying to find that next Smokey. Right.

And, man, I was auditioning with about 150 comedians out there in LA. Did you think he was still trying to get Chris Tucker as well? Was that a scare for you or that was just like? No, I mean, I didn't have shit, so I didn't care what was going on. You know what I mean? I didn't, you know, I was like, shit, it's all for nothing right here. So you're saying when he first approached you, it was for the day they roll. It wasn't like it was just like

a replacement. Chris Tucker had already turned the road down. You know what I'm saying? Ice Cube was mad to the motherfucker. Ice Cube was like, man, fuck Chris Tucker. You know. I know, you was like, good looking, Chris Tucker. I'm glad your ass didn't do that shit. Yeah, yeah.

So I auditioned for it, man, and I got the role, man. And I'll never forget. I swear I'll never forget the day that I got the role. And I walked on the set, man. I was all happy and nice and shit. And there wasn't nobody saying shit. They was all quiet. And I did my first role.

I mean, did my first scene. And when the first scene was over and they said cut I didn't hear no laughs and John Witherspoon was sitting over in the corner looking at me like you want to say bang bang bang my mother was sitting there looking at me like this I said oh shit I went and told Q

I kept the motherfuckers clean. You kept the motherfuckers clean. I don't give a fuck what size rail you got. Keep the bitches clean. So I just want you to know that For the hood Like that was a cult movie So people really didn't want to accept Nobody else for that role

They didn't Especially for that time Cause Chris Tucker tore that shit up Yeah he tore it up I mean and people still think to this day The first one was better than the second one Than the third one But you know what

It was a cult movie I believe that the first one Pardon me for cutting you off i believe the first one led to the second one i believe it did yeah i believe there's a foundation to it yeah but um but can i continue what you're saying no that's real that's real the first one was a foundation to it and um but the second one and third one i mean like i said there's kids that didn't really see the first one like that and didn't understand it they really liked the first one like that and didn't understand it.

But, Mike, man, let me tell you something. This show is about praising our legends. Because in our business, I would like to ask you how it is in comedy, but after you get five to ten years in this business, whether you're successful or not, people want to call you the old person. People want to kick you out. And we don't want to do that here.

Here, we interview our legends because we want to keep them alive. Because in our culture, you know, something that I recognize, you know, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, they're 65 years old. They are. And they still cool in their community.

Yeah. But when a person hit, you know, this year I'm going to be 40. I'm going to do a big birthday party. And I finally hit 40. Me. So I'm going to do three big birthday parties. You made it 40 years old. You're a hip-hop player.

But in our culture, once you get old, people want to kick you out and say it's over for you and things like that. And that's not what we do here What we do here, we got people listening to us And we always want to salute the people Who put in that work And who's here And we ain't necessarily young But we young in here, we young in the mind

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western

historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and MeatEater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Okay. Because y'all both OGs in the comedy. What do y'all think of when y'all hear the title Kings of Comedy? I just feel like it's just a title. I feel like Mike Epps is the king of comedy. You know what I'm saying? For real. Yeah, because he ain't been out here for years and he'll go behind anybody on stage. I'm talking about anybody.

You feel what I'm saying? So that's the king of comedy to me. And he ain't put a lot of us on. You know what I'm saying? A lot of us are getting attention because of Mike Epps. Yeah, so he's the real king of comics. God damn it. Hey, man, you know what? And I feel the same way about the other comics, you know what I mean?

So it's vice versa. Henry Welch is a raw comic, man, and one of them underground comics like Robin Harris and all the different real comics like that. Henry's like one of them type of comics. Now, them kind of comics like that. Henry's like one of them type of comics. Them kind of comics like Robin Harris,

Bernie Mac, Red Fox, them dudes didn't get breaks until they was in their older age. They've been out here for a long time. Here you go, Henry. Do some drugs. You smoke

doing movies together. Holy moly, Donut Shop. Yeah. Top flight of security of the world, Greg. And that's what I'm saying. See, there's a lot of comics out here that do movies and stuff like that. And big ups to them, but you don't remember what the fuck they said in the movie.

You know what I mean? You've just seen the movie. If you ask somebody, if somebody asks you what they say in the movie, you'd be like, I don't remember what the fuck he said. I feel like you're talking about Kevin Hart. Is that where we're going? That's a lot of them. It's a bunch of them motherfuckers.

You know what I mean? They don't got the memorable lines. No. And so basically what I'm saying, I stand on that. The stuff that I say, it ain't your beauty, it's your booty, that's going to last forever. You know what I mean? Everybody going to say that. Now, is you and Kevin Hart

because I feel like y'all had went through something at some point. Kevin Hart, he's my little brother, man. You know what I mean? Kevin Hart, he's a lot younger than me. big ups to Kevin Hart. He came in at a time where, you know, I did Def Comedy Jam.

Where the Instagram is, you know, we came in... We came up at a time where, you know, you had to really rock that shit for people to remember you and come back out and see you they couldn't go to your page and see shit so you know it's a time difference like you

said yeah but you got like two million people following you so it's the same thing for you well you know i ain't an instagram dude because i ain't i dude because I ain't in the mood all the time to be sitting up there fucking with a bunch of strange people. But you do get the internet. But I do get the internet. Hell yeah, I be on the internet, but I can't, you know what I'm saying? Shit. I need another drink. You want another shot of Tiger?

Yeah. I'm gonna get there. So now, let me ask you an OG question. What does, what actually makes a person a comedian? A comedian is somebody that can take a story that a lot of y'all take serious, but we can

go make it funny. You know what I'm saying? You know it's a serious story. We can turn it around. We can tell you the story. You can follow us. It's like we're like doctors. When we get on stage, we got your attention. Because you go to the doctor, you tell him, you know, this was wrong with you, that was wrong. It's like we're like doctors. When we get on stage, we got your attention. Because if you go to the doctor, you tell him you know this was wrong with you, that was wrong with you. So we're like doctors up there. So that's what makes a real comedian.

He can go to any crowd. So let me hit y'all with some shit, then. And walk up to you and just call a motherfucker an ugly-ass bitch and she start laughing. I want y'all to say something funny about Donald Trump. Fuck Donald Trump. Yeah, Because that's a horrible situation. Can we see the positive for this?

Make us laugh about it. What the fuck is Donald Trump? Because I'm scared of death. Well, believe it or not, by him not being able to really understand how to be the president, the streets might get a chance to eat now. The drugs might come. The dope might get in the streets. See, that get a chance to eat now. The drugs might come.

And they vape you as soon as they see you So I love comedians So y'all can actually just make fun of somebody And everybody And when you're a comedian You have to understand that that's the right of passage I can walk up on people and they say You's an ugly ass bitch

And they'll start laughing I'll be like damn Do you know what I just said? You get a pass for that. I get a pass for this shit. That's crazy. See, that's the thing. See, that's why I'm saying.

As soon as I came in town, I got in the rental car, I drove straight to the pork and bean and jumped out the car. Right. Right there where first 40, somebody's choking. A lot of people can't do that.

Nobody can do that. Motherfuckers, they had teddy bears and shit right there at the door where a motherfucker just died. And I jumped out the car just, you know, because you know, when you of the people you're not going to ever be scared of them.

And you're going to be ready to die. When you of the people. I respect that, but I'm going to have to ask you to stop that. You already proved you the hoodiest nigga in the world, Mike. We're going to have to keep you in South Beach, okay? Poking beans is not safe. I'm just

keeping it real with you. You Mike Epps and I seen Jinky Promotus? Brother, I jump out on the south side of Chicago. I jump out any motherfucker out of the car and be right there. I only stayed for about five minutes.

That's on God. Yeah. That's all you need. It's called cameo. I'm thinking you both Take a picture. Take a picture. Five minutes.

That's it. Three seconds and we go. Five pictures. It was great for ten minutes like you said. But I swear to God, man, that is the beauty because a lot of people come to Miami and they come straight to South Beach.

They don't go to the real Miami. They don't go down there over in the pork and beans and jump out the car and shit. Oh, even right here. We in Little Haiti right now. Let me tell you something. Yeah, take your ass down there where it's real and jump out the car and that real shit. Don't wait until you get to live and be walking around that motherfucker with a gun in your pocket.

Let me tell you one story. That shit don't count. I'm across the street from Pauk and Bean, right? What do you mean? Liberty City, right? No, this is... I had caught a flat tire.

I remember. We was all... They didn't know you, though. You was a little nigga. Let me tell you what happened. They ain't gonna fuck with you. So I went to get my tire fixed, but the Pauk and Bean right there or whatever, it was just one project.

And there's so much gunshot. Pow, my mind going on. So I tell the police, police. I said, you want to hear that? Niggas said, oh, that's not my jurisdiction. Wow. I never seen that in my life. Nice, man.

Police said, that's not my jurisdiction. I said, you bitch ass nigga, go out there. This nigga was like, that's how crazy. He didn't want no problem. And this hood, these like Miami, like people just only think about South Beach. Now this is a rough place. Miami is a very rough place. You just got to know where to walk, but always respect it.

And that's why I always. And those hoods, like Pork and Beans, they real isolated too. See, Mike had been there 10 years ago, so it was like a reunion. When they saw him back over there, they're like, Mike, you was here 10 years ago. You came back. Yeah, so it felt like he came back for him. But he didn't, but he did come back. But, boy, when I be standing around the hood like that and everybody be laughing and cheering,

I'm something to say, turn around and look. And when I look, it be one nigga looking at me. Okay, it's time to get the fuck around here. He ain't feeling it. That's that one nigga looking at you. Okay, it's time to get the fuck out of here. He ain't feeling it. That's that one nigga that Soulja Boy trying to hold. He feel like he the neighborhood dude. Or he knows you leaving. Big Soul ain't from here.

You ain't staying there. Right. Yeah, but I love it, man. I want to ask you a motherfucking question. Okay, you can. Let me get to the Jinky Promoters real quick. That's another hood classic. Do you know that?

Yes. Hood classic. Hood classic. Hood classic. Jelly Roll Entertainment. Jelly Roll Entertainment. And Russell Redd in conjunction. Now, whose idea was the Jinky Promoters? Because that was no head on.

Yeah. How do you feel about these young rappers right now? Right. Okay. Now, what do you think about that? All right. I'm going to give you the best answer I could ever give. I've always been two people, right?

Because I'm black and Puerto Rican. So I've been always, you drop me in Mexico, I don't know how to relate with them niggas. You drop me in Kingston, I don't know how to relate with them niggas. So I try to look at life like that. A part of me says, that's not what hip-hop is. But then a part of me says, that's what they-hop is but then a part of me says that's what they said about me when i was young wow yeah so i learned to accept both that's real and i learned to approach both with the same love like when i hear real hip-hop i always be like yeah yeah what

the fuck of course when i hear a lupe fiasco or fucking because i want to big up lupe because i felt he yeah you kind of you kind of threw a little shade on him. But when I hear Lupe Fiasco or Talib Kweli or Nas, J. Cole, when I hear real hip-hop, I always, but I can't be mad at, my bitch is bad and bougie.

Fucker the coke of the Uzi. And I'm kidding. That's real shit. Why the fuck with that? Because, because you know why? I ain't aged. I ain't aged. That's real shit. Why the fuck with that? Right. Because, you know why? I ain't aged. I ain't aged.

That's Elliot Wilson train. Don't worry about it. We know you don't know who he is. Don't problem. Roll another blunt, please. Make it happen. All right. Come on, Mike.

There you go. Yo, Mike, you came with a bag of weed. Where'd your weed go? Let's smoke Mike Adams' weed. You want me to go get it? Yeah. Go ahead, nigga. That nigga's got some weed.

He's going to bring heroin and shit. You understand what I'm saying? You understand what I'm saying? What I'm saying is, I can't. I don't fuck with the old school. You want to go through that? That's how the old niggas be sitting there. I'm not taking that.

I'm not taking that. I'm not taking that. Come on, man. you know where I used to cop some dope, right? You know where I used to cop dope at? Right there on 147 Broadway. In between Broadway and Amsterdam. Oh, that's Dominican. Yeah, the Dominicans. One time, I'm

up in that motherfucker buying some dope, and the motherfucker took me upstairs. The dude was sitting at the desk. He had the cocaine right there in the aluminum foil. He had the crusher. He was sitting there crushing and putting it in the aluminum foil. And one of them said, pop, pop.

And when he said, pop, pop, nigga, the police was coming in. While I'm standing, I swear to God, while I'm standing there copping, they start running. I said, man, what do I do? So the dude that was serving the code, I followed him. He's like, come on, come on this way. And I swear, we was just running through some doors. I swear to God, in New York, up in Harlem. And when we ran out, we came out of a door, nigga, we was on the inside of the apartment.

Like, it was... Like, behind the walls? No, no, like, in New York, in the projects, they have, like, a fort on the inside of them. Oh, like a courtyard. Like a courtyard inside the projects. Like the projects are surrounded on the inside. Nigga, we was running through motherfucking water and all that. We went through a door, nigga.

Water? Yeah, we was on 125th Street. No, we was on Broadway. We went through the door. We walked out the door, nigga We was on Broadway He went that way, I went that way I said, nigga, I ain't never coming up here buying shit

Bye, papa Bye I'm sorry You saw the one thing When I first moved to New York I had a Cadillac When I first moved to New York I had a Cadillac, right I went to pick New York, I had a Cadillac, right?

And I went to pick a girl. This bitch said, I didn't know you drove a cab. I said, bitch, that's my car. I'm from Indiana, bitch. This is luxury in Indiana. You don't have to buy me a cab. That is not luxury in New York. People don't get it.

I cannot believe you got loves. That's not lucky in New York. I cannot believe you got loves. I wouldn't wear these motherfuckers to a bat fight. Just you and Birdman, huh? Birdman wear these? Yeah, he got them too. He would know what happened to that boy? Norris, if I catch you in here, what can you do on tonight?

Yeah, we gonna shoot your feet. You gonna shoot his feet? Oh, shit. He gonna do the Michael Jackson tonight. Oh, shit. She got real love. We got Luggs in your gift bag. You're like, the only body that got the Luggs is got lugs in your gift bag. She's like, everybody got the lugs

in the New York rappers. I never really seen them down south. Nah, Birdman. What are you talking about? We don't fuck with Birdman. We hear him. He ain't in New Orleans. That's a whole nother country.

New Orleans ain't considered the south. Baby, baby, that's a whole nother country down there. But Alabama, that's the same thing. No, no, no. That's the silver rice city. Everybody from New York, all y'all go to family unions down south.

You know I'm not lying. Ain't nobody going to Brooklyn for no damn family union. Pass that champagne. Ain't nobody going to Brooklyn for a family union. We'll go see the game, but we ain't going to no family union in no damn Brooklyn. We'll go see Jiggle. You're very right. If you're black, your family union is down south.

South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida. And if you catch a case in New York, you can run down to South Carolina. You can go to your auntie down south. That's usually where the feds find New York niggas, down south. You know he's right here. You see, you know he ran to the south again. He got the hottest showdown house out in New York. He shot a video.

He ain't left yet. Oh, God damn, man. I don't like y'all being that accurate. He shot pyramids and got the hell out of New York. I don't like y'all being that accurate. This is crazy. You love it out here. They got grass.

You like that tiger bone? Did you have a tiger bone? It's smooth. It's smooth. It ain't smooth, man. It's a lot of things. And you can put it on your fried rice, too. out here. They got grass. You like that tiger bone? Did you ever try all this shit? All this shit is free. It ain't smooth, Mike. You can put it on your fried rice. It ain't smooth. I've been drinking tiger bone for 20 years. I still ain't used to it.

Wow. It's meant to loosen the gas up because it's actually a herb. So it ain't bad for you. It ain't bad for you, but if a person ain't ready, they talking about, man,

I was thinking about Lizzy Lohan. You're like, what the fuck? What happened? On here, right here. So that's how we get it out of the people. But you know, you guys are already liberal. It's not really working with you guys because you guys are already liberal it's not really working with you guys because you guys are already just open book and this is it's a fantastic thing so what does comedians need to do because like right

now right hip-hop and hip-hop i feel like hip-hop in order for hip-hop to keep surviving and keep maintaining uh a person like me who's considered an old person Even though I'm only 39 I'm considered an old person Because I came out since I was 17, 18 But for me To sustain hip hop It's just like I'm just going to support anything in hip hop I'm going to support everything

Anybody that's popping I'm going to help them maintain their popping But what does comedy need to do To keep sustaining so it's more younger generation people getting into the comedic stance and then maintaining

the righteousness? Being original. That's the whole key to it. Being yourself. You can look at Mike Epps, but you can't be Mike Epps. You can watch me. You can watch Dave Chappelle, but you can't be us, Chris Rock. You gotta be who you are. That's what makes comedy so unique. It's about you.

If you ain't gonna be who you is, you can't go up there and be nobody else. And it takes time for you to find your voice in comedy. Because it takes five to six years to really learn how to be a comedian. See, people think they made you laugh. Yeah, because you can go up the next night and bomb. I know a lot of comedy that was funny one night and you didn't see them no more.

Because they got booed and they're like, I ain't going back. And comedy is not music. Because music you can blow up overnight, but not comedy. You can play the cymbals and be the shit of the band. It takes time for you to learn the craft and build yourself up. But one thing about comics

and comedians, we never go away. Nope. Ain't no age limit on us. Y'all have age limits. They don't respect the older rappers. They don't respect y'all, but y'all are the best ones. Well, this is the reality of that. Is that

you guys got an opportunity to go overseas and, I mean I mean like in some countries, Noriega is brand new. I can imagine. They treat you like you brand new. Like when them sauce come out

because them countries and some of these cities are dated. They really primitive. They don't really. Yeah, they get the material very late. They do. You brand new to them and they don't understand the shit that's too ahead of them is what's playing now. You're going to always eat too.

You know what I mean? That's the great thing about it. But you have to be a great artist. What I do notice about that is that a lot of the older artists that come from your era, they're the ones eating. These new artists

I don't think they gonna eat like that When they get old Because They don't have longevity It's a new one every day Next week they won't be here It's a new artist every day And based

What he was saying Like he's saying Supporting all the new artists The difference is Is that a lot of these They all sound the same Like you saying That's right

Develop your own thing Right Like the 90's era, you could not sound like the next rapper. That's why I big up the comedic stance. You can't go on a show on a comedy show sound like

the very same guy who came on before you. Right now, there's three 21 Savages. There's a 21 Savage. There's a 22 Savage. There's a 21 savage. A 22? There's a 22 savage. There's a 23 on the way. And now there's a 23.

And I'm a 45 savage. Yeah, I'm a 48 savage. Are you going to tell them that? Are you going to tell them that as an OG? Are you going to point that out? Why not everybody just leave 21 savage? He established the name first. I don't give a fuck.

Right. But he should be the only one I like what you're saying But I don't care what you say You rap like you're in The witness protection program You sound like he's nervous Alright, alright, alright

I just started to know my name That's how you rap Like he's on the dance floor He hard to me This is Norrie talking He hard to me He hard but he still sounds like They're looking at me

Right, yeah, yeah But that's what I like About my new artist When I see a new artist That's actually Afraid of the cameras I actually gravitate To him more

Because I know that That's where the era I come from I'm afraid of the cameras I got a question for you About being a New York rapper How did you feel When Rich Homie Coyne

Did know the verse To Biggie Smalls' song We just talked about this With the tribe situation Yeah I've been wanting To ask a rapper there Ever since they have Been about you being from New York I got a degree in psychology from Alabama State University

I just teach school But I can make more money telling jokes with Mike Epps And I can sleep later Nigga you better give me that $40 From that strip club While you're sitting there talking about all these degrees And shit I sat there

That bitch that you had over there She sat there and danced for you And kept looking at me Cause the bitch knowed I was gonna give you the money I'm like I'm not the one Rubbing on your ass bitch Now you hear that nerd That's that gas money from 96

Nah but that's real shit. This is Mike Epps' weed? It's nice. Oh, come on. It's from Cali, baby. It's from Cali. You snuck this with you on it? Nah, I can't tell you

all that kind of shit. I brought it from Atlanta. I'll incriminate you. Alphabet boys watch this show, too. Nah, they ain't fucking with us. Man, please. They love your show. They got a whole social network. That's what niggas don They love your show. They got a whole social network.

That's what niggas don't understand. The feds got a whole social network. The feds be tagging each other and everything. That's why niggas standing there with the guns and shit. It's like, nigga, why is you telling on yourself like that? It's a snitching society now. Yeah, because guess what? The first thing I'm saying to myself when I see a motherfucker with all of them guns on the internet,

now I'm saying to myself, somebody around there ain't never been to prison. Yep. Right. Because somebody is able to go buy these guns. Right. So there's a nerd around here buying these guns. It's a little cause and effect. Gun laws is that stupid.

Right. I ain't going to lie. No. I'm from New York, born and raised. I came out here. My niggas was going to Walmart buying bullets. It's serious. Whatever.

But that's different in different states. In the South. Go to a gun show, buy an arsenal, an army. Look at Mike Adams hitting that shit like an old nigga. Look at you. I am an old player. No, no, no. You're an old player. I'm telling you, an old player. Look at you. I am an old player. No, no, no. You're an old player.

I'm telling you, an old player, man. That's what I'm talking about, man. See, a lot of these comedians, I grew up in the real, in the after-hour clubs where it was old players in there and they was all gambling. It'd have a sign on the wall that said, no guns, dope, and all of that is in there. That's why we in there one time i was 17 right i'm in the after i had to club shooting craps with all these old players and pimps and shit and back in the 90s the police used to just jump out the car so if you ain't had that dope up under your tongue like that ready to swallow it, they gonna bust you. They gonna catch you. They going in your drawers and everything with the

flashlight. So I took a motherfucking razor. I had them old starter jackets. You know them starter jackets? Yes, I do. I had a Raider starter jacket. And I cut the motherfucker's hem in it and put the dope down in there. So the police would search me and the whole time I got the packs in

my motherfucking jacket. Man, I'm in the after-hour club and I take the dice and when I throw the dice out, cocaine came out too. And when the cocaine came out, all the old players, and one old

nigga grabbed me and said, get your ass out of here. And he had me like this and he took me outside and he said, man, what the fuck is wrong with you? And he had the dope in his hand. He said, nigga, wait. How much you want for two? You know what I'm saying? I made another out right there.

Cocaine a hell of a drug. Cocaine a hell of a drug. Cocaine a hell of a drug. See, that's the thing, man. See, that's one thing about New York and L.A. New York City and L.A. has always been

the leaders of black men in America. In other cities. The biggest influence was New York and L.A. on a lot of cities in America. And depending on what city you lived in and who you thought was cool, you would roll with them.

So if it was the West Coast and you was from some city, you would roll with the West Coast. Right. Or if you was from another city and you would roll with New York. But it's a lot of real niggas all over the world. They just don't have a

brand name. You see what I'm saying? You know, when you're from New York and you're from L.A., you automatically get branded as a real nigga. You see what I'm saying? You have to literally go to them niggas. You literally have to go to New York and L.A.

and go down in them niggas' neighborhoods and run around they real friends for them friends and tell them, that's a bitch-ass nigga, man. That nigga ain't... You know what I'm saying? That's how that shit work. You know what I mean? That's how that shit work right there.

I do it all the time. I check every motherfucker's file in the business. They don't even know it. I be standing right there with their friend. Hey, you want some more champagne? I haven't met none of your friends, though. Everybody here is my friend. I know some family reunion. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,

hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams, and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley

Trump. Tell me something about Donald Trump. Donald Trump, he don't want to be the president. He met with Steve Harvey. Yeah. Many times. They met many times. How did the comedians feel about that?

I didn't understand that. Listen, Steve Harvey, Steve Harvey is, he don't give a fuck what a nigga think about him. Right. That's how he feel. He's like, a nigga can't do nothing for me no way, so I don't give a fuck what you niggas think about me. Steve Harvey is on a daytime television show, and all of his fans are probably Donald Trump's fans. Right.

Wow. In some kind of way, somebody done told him that, and he was like, fuck them niggas. He's going straight for his demo. Fuck them niggas, y'all. And I'll put that pistol on all you bitch-ass niggas. I'll have all you niggas. He's going straight for his demo. And I put that pistol on all you bitch ass niggas. I have all you niggas. He is from Cleveland. He is from Cleveland.

So I'll tell you how the niggas feel, man. The niggas probably. But the thing about being a black man in America and you from poverty and you from the ghetto is that people that was in office, they never really had nothing to do with your motherfucking life anyway. They never affected you anyway, because you've always been on the bottom, no matter who the fuck got in office. Nigga, what?

I've been on the bottom. Obama was the first time we had a president, and Clinton, where I had anything in my pocket. All the other presidents, they never affected me anyway. Reagan affected me because he put them food stamps in my mama's jail. He put them food stamps in the neighborhood. Yeah, Reagan. Reagan's a cracker.

Niggas getting money, man. Right. And motherfuckers don't understand that the country is ran by Republicans. And when Republicans is in office, niggas get money. Because the country's based off of crime. Any motherfucker. The criminals built this motherfucking country, man.

The nigga's spirit. The nigga's spirit was so strong. You believe he's alive. His spirit was stronger than his flesh. Wow. See what I'm saying? So that's real shit. The flesh ain't shit.

His spirit was so strong that you ain't got to see him. You don't have to see him physically. He's still alive for sure. I swear, when you look at that nigga and you listen to his music sometimes, he feel like he's still running around. He's prophetic. It look like he's standing there with

Young Thug. See what I'm saying? It don't look like he ever left. It's still relevant. Do me a favor. Don't put him with Young Thug. See what I'm saying? It don't look like he ever left. It's still relevant. Don't put him with Young Thug. Just let's put him with somebody else. I'm just saying. That's a good one, but not.

He's going to switch. You got all kind of first. We too old to be involved with these young rappers' careers. I'm not involved. I just know the songs. I live in Atlanta. I'm like a street A&R. You are. Right.

I'm like a Hustle Simmons type dude on the streets. And tell us who... Hustle Simmons? Who have you broke in the business? We have Break Future. We broke Trouble Trouble. We broke Lil' Hot, Rest in Peace. I can name a bunch of people we broke.

You know, I'm on the Outkast CDs. I got a real body of work. That's why I messed... You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I appreciate that. Henry Welch is in Atlanta. Henry Welch is loved by the strippers. Yeah, I work in the

strip club. He know all the street niggas. Magic City's at home. I work at all the street. I like to shoot all the street niggas. If you go to Atlanta and I be standing with Henry and it be a nigga there, I say, Henry, who's that nigga right there? Henry said, oh, that's... He getting money like that. And he got shooters

too. He know all the info. Now, I knew that. I just know what's going on. I like, we was in Harlingen, Texas. So we hanging out. We walking down the streets. You know, Mike Epps is an international superstar. So all of a sudden we see this dude named Red Dread. Mike Epps, what the hell is he doing down here?

He said, get some weed from him and get him away from us. But he didn't know, like, this is the plug. This is the guy. He's from Atlanta, but he was in Harlingen, Texas. We damn near Mexico. He was under the bottom of that water. Well, I didn't know what he was involved in. I know, but yeah.

You see, a lot of times. But by you being a criminal, it didn't matter. But let me tell you something. A lot of times, a nigga will catch a case and won't tell you. Yeah, but I knew what was going on. You don't know that, Henry. I told you about trusting a nigga. I'm a genius.

I told you that. Check my resume. This conversation is being recorded, guys. Yeah, but I'm still a genius. Because me and him, we, me and him selling ounces, man. We selling ounces in Atlanta together. Yeah, I got two, three, five I need to get rid of right now I send him three ounces a week

And he sell them Yeah That's how I get paid That's how I get paid for my comedy show I'm sending him three ounces of kush in the mail And he's selling He's selling nicks and dimes You're out of the seat

One day I'm over his house And a lady came and copped some weed from him This bitch had laundry and kids in the car. It was about six kids in the back seat. I love her. She's good to you. Food stamps and everything. I love her.

See, that's what I like about real life. I like anybody who can live with, who can live with, live with themselves no matter what. I tell humans all the time, that's, that's one of the things that control your destination in your life. You know what I mean? Your health and everything is, is about how you feel about how another motherfucker feel about you. That's what Instagram is about is how does another motherfucker feel about you. That's what Instagram is about, is how does another motherfucker feel about you. You know what I'm saying?

Because people say some foul shit on Instagram to you. Oh, they'll fuck you up. You know, you be in a good mood and you post a picture, and sometimes they tell you some shit you don't want to hear, but you needed to hear. Sometimes I'll be reading my comments, and a motherfucker say some shit and I'll be like, man, I want to

cuss this nigga out, but damn, that nigga did say some real shit. I respect that. You know what I'm saying? You ain't got ten motherfuckers that told you oh man, you swagged out, you looking cool, you playing. And then a nigga get on there and say, nigga, you old

Mike, you washed up. You need to get your life together. I be like, I be wanting to say something back bad to the nigga. I say, I can't say nothing to this nigga. I don't even know who the fuck this nigga is. With a shirt like that, though, you like you work at the laundromat. So that's what that's about.

Get the fuck out of here, Henry. Your hairline, in a minute, you gonna have to start washing your face way up here. You salute like this. So you can't hold it. It don't look like your hand is on there now. My guess with the real is, though, there's one thing I got to respect. I've been around his whole family and everything. So what you see with him ain't nothing fake.

And I swear to God, I'm just as scared as everybody else. Because that's all it is, a bunch of scared. The whole world is scared. That's why they act in the way they act. Everybody's scared. I'm telling you some real shit. So if you see a motherfucker go on Instagram and start trying to do some crazy shit to get some attention, something

that scared him in his own thoughts. And they... Whether it's I'm scared or somebody ain't gonna pay attention to me or nothing. But you just have to learn how to enjoy your own life inside of your life. And all the attention that you want, it's just going to come to you automatically. Because that's how attention is. If you notice that attention is paying attention to you, attention won't pay attention to you no more.

That was a nod. That was deep. Come on. I don't know what he did. attention to you no more I was not taught twice. Hey, man, you're talking to a nigga to get attention, man. I'm like, nah. You told me I would never. I lost you, didn't I? I was a genius. That was deep as a motherfucker. Deeper than deep. No, that's real shit.

I tell you, man, because I tell my daughters, because I got teenage daughters, and I tell them all the time, I say, stop looking to see if you lose and wait Because your body is know that your body be like all this bitch thinks he's doing something Damn, all that shit I did, it ain't worth no money. Sure ain't. Because it's just got to be a lifestyle. With anything you do, you can't pay attention to it. It's got to be something you just do. Like you scratch your face.

You know what I'm saying? Consistency. You just do it. And the results come from that. Because everybody that's trying to do something, they monitoring it the whole time they doing it. I'm going to monitor everything. That's like posting a picture and looking at the fucking comments. You can't look at the fucking comments. You just got to post a picture.

And if the numbers ain't right or people liking it, erase it. That's just bad. That makes sense. That's just bad. That makes sense. I don't like what's going on. liking it erased it and these youngsters too and a lot of them a lot of the youngsters out there they are not acknowledging God. They don't know that the strength, the real strength in everything that you do is God. There's a few other guys, Kevin Gates, a couple of them dudes like that, you can tell they God-fearing. Because if a nigga don't fear that there's a bigger spirit than him,

he gonna destruct, man. You know what I'm saying? If a young nigga out there, if a nigga got choppers and all that shit and showing them and all that shit, guess what? We know you bipolar. The next time I see you on Instagram, I want you on there talking about God. Repent, nigga. You just showed us all this motherfucker $25,000 worth of guns and shit on Instagram.

Repent on Instagram, too. Let's give us a whole story of who you are. That guess what? Not only do you think you're invincible, that guess what? You know that there's something greater than yourself, nigga. That's right. On this planet.

That's a strength right there. And it took me a long time to understand that being a good person and a nice person is a real strength. That not being evil, that's the scared motherfucker. All these little young rappers, they're scared. So if I'm scared of you, I'm going to try to scare you off by showing you what I do. Come on, man. You ain't supposed to show that shit. Definitely not supposed to show that shit.

That shit look like they got fake guns. Them guns don't look real on there. But they are. Yeah, they're real. But the reason why they look like they fake guns is because it's fake kids with the guns. Right. It look like they toys. And the little niggas,

you know, they shoot motherfuckers up and shit. And then they in the prison crying at three in the morning. You hear them in there? All day, little nigga been running

around there talking about, I like prison food and talking shit. And then later on that night, they be crying. You come down there and, man, what's going on, man? Oh, i don't know what i don't know what to do then you didn't kill five people on the street man it's over with

you know what to do yeah you might as well goddamn it settle in like you know i'm saying you might as well yeah you might as well go on and settle in man and just be an inspiration to some other little young dude that come in here until your time is up you know what I mean that's your job now

but they don't understand you see Gucci man I love Gucci man that nigga went in there changed his life and yup and whatever happened it made him

I had a buddy that was in Florida that was in prison with him he said man I said what Gucci man doing he said man walking around with a Bible in his hand made him... I had a buddy that was in Florida that was in prison with him. He said, man... I said, what Gucci man doing? He said, man, walking around with a Bible in his hand. Because that's how real it is. Wow. And then we entertainers,

we can't be sitting up, laying up in a penitentiary with a motherfucker that's hungry, that then killed everybody in the world, and you in there trying to convince him that you a good nigga and he looking at you like a steak. Like man, what you doing in here with me?

You crazy and a motherfucker. Me and T.I. talk all the time. I have to tell him, man, hey man, they trying to trick us, man. They already tricked you a couple times. Yeah, they tricked you. Them niggas will have your ass out here ready to kill something, and then

you have to lay up in the penitentiary. I had to fight it every day, and I'm 40-something years old. People walk up to me and say and do... A nigga walked up to me at the Walgreens the other day and just put his hand on my neck like that and said, Day-Day! And I said, man, what you doing? He said, what?

He said, what? You got a problem with it? I said, Day-Day. And I said, man, what you doing? He said, what? He said, what? You got a problem with it? I said, man, I swear to God. I said, man, why? Come on, man. What would I do to you? He said, nigga, I'm just a fan. But see, that's the shit that don't nobody see me deal with.

You see what I'm saying? Right. I could have went on a wrestle with him and sneaked that knife out of my pocket and stabbed him to death. But I didn't even want to do none of that. I'm trying to talk my way out of that motherfucker, man, because it's that easy to get fucked up out here. I'm going to start preaching when I get done with this comedy shit. I can get a church full of old people to get that money. Them old people like me.

day. And a motherfucker that's rotten, like myself and many more, live to 80 to 90 years old. For a reason. And you be sitting there saying, why did this nigga die? I want to die. You won't die old. I'm going to die a bad nigga. All this shit you did

That's right, because you was a pimp at one time. I tried. And again, if you wasn't born with it, you can't pull it off. I tried to pimp some bitches. I had some bitches at a little hotel. I had my cousin and this other little fat white bitch from Kokomo, Indiana. And I slapped my cousin and she slapped me back. Don't ever hit me back like that.

And I said, I'm the pimp. I ended up owing both them bitches some money. Man, you a fool, man. You can tell if you're first pimping, right? None of them bitches had receipts and all kinds of shit on me. I said, I quit, bitch. I don't want to do this shit. That fucked me up. I was going to fuck him up.

Hey, man, when I first moved to New York, man, that shit fucked me up, man. I swear. I got off the bus at Port Authority. First time I've been to New York, I got off the bus at Port Authority. First time I've been in New York, I got off the bus at Port Authority. It was in 1991. And I didn't know nobody. I had a manager. He was a Jewish manager

named Dave Klayman. He came, T.K. Kirkland hooked me up with Dave Klayman. That was his manager. I went up there to meet Dave. He said, Dave was with the Jewish Mafia. I went up there. Dave looked like little said, Dave was with the Jewish Mafia. I went up there. Dave looked like little Danny DeVito. He was that size.

I said, this ain't no motherfucking Jewish Mafia, man. But I'll never forget, man. I'm in New York, and I went in the club, and I seen Tracy Morgan, and I seen Dave Chappelle. I seen, from my eyes, coming from Indiana, and I seen from my eyes coming from Indiana and I seen all of these niggas on TV.

These was niggas who was really in the business. Funny around the girl. And funny to you. They was funny. But that moment that I had to come around these niggas and say

guess what? I don't even know if I'm really funny right now. Man, when I got on the stage, I was different. That's what made me different from everybody in New York. Because everybody in New York would go on stage and talk about Jamaicans and Subways and Puerto Ricans and Dominicans with no socks on. They was all the same.

I would go up on the stage and talk about that country shit. And it made me different in New York. But, boy, I'm telling you, I had to fight all the time. You know what I mean? Because they was, as soon as the motherfucker found out I wasn't from New York, they was trying me. I used to be in the tunnel. You know what I'm saying?
