I'm talking about the first cat to say, fuck the police. Coming straight from an undergrad. We got to talk about that because that was a bold move. He was young, you know, and he was just doing his thing, man.

And for y'all's who don't know, O'Shea, the legendary. I'm talking about the legendary, O'Shea, doe boy, whatever you want to call him, man. But the one and only, we got to give him his flowers today. Ice Cube and he's on. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, million dollars worth a game. Yeah, yeah Yes, legend Thank you for that

Yeah, we got to, man Because it's like Like, like to us Me growing up, my brother I wish my brother was here Rest of Peace of him You know, on the East Coast When that fuck the police came out

When NWA straight out of company came out It was like Is this real? Like is this It was like We was just like Oh shit They said

It was like a freedom Of expression At his highest form Yeah Outside of two live crew, y'all was the only ones that was like, we're going to say what we want to say. We got a right to say what we got to say, so we're going to do that. Yeah, I mean, I think we was the ones who consistently did it through a whole record, you know, record after record. That was our style.

I think a lot of emcees was knocking on that door, though, you know. I mean, just ice. Yeah, just ice was a legend. If you listen to Latoya, you'll be like, man, he must. must be in the you know he must did that you know from the south he must have came from the south no no just ice

um you know we was big fans of that criminal minded album uh KRS Boogie Down production Scott La Rock shout out to D Nice on his thing

um so we was fans of of that aggressive um style you know mean if you like stick it in there and uh but we bought like we had blowfly records and we had um rudy ray more yeah you all had unbelievable samples yeah we had like we had records that were knocking on the door we just was a group that was totally committed to just keeping it hardcore um

it was reality rap when we first started you know and then some some writer coined the phrase gangster rap and you know you couldn't tell nobody you was doing reality rap after that because everybody just coined it as gangster rap because it was so easy to to put a label on it like that so um yeah then we start rolling down here you know it was a it was a great time how much i'm you know because a lot of people like to talk about in this game we talk about music we talk about publishing we're talking about masters when you left you said i'm out of here You said, I wasn't, you know, you never, did you sign a contract? You never signed the contract?

I never signed a contract with NWA. With ruthless, no. So you were just going on tour doing your thing? Yeah, we know, we was going off the strength, you know, for a long time. And it was cool. And then Jerry Heller came into the picture and things changed, you know. It was, you know, easy was learning the business. business shit at the same time I was learning you know we was I was a youngster though you know

I was a teenager start hanging around Drey F 14 years old um so you know we both learning the game at the same time but he had a a teacher you know he had cherry he had cherry he know um kind of showing him what to do and you know some of it wasn't cool you know we was bringing that up and uh you know his thing was like oh uh jerry's our manager he said it's supposed to be like this so just how we should do it and i'm like uh i mean jerry's your manager you know i'm saying i don't know if he's mine and um so um you know it was a it was a process where we was just trying to figure it out and it it blew up before we can understand the game

like at least you know before everybody could really you know I'm giving everybody the benefit of the doubt but it seemed like we was all learning the game at the same time so you ain't know nothing about publishing and none of that no when you're young and you're coming in the game

you don't know about that shit no I didn't until you know the coolest person at the time and the person that I would go ask for music advice was Pat Charbonnet if you look at the Friday movie

she helped produce that movie she was my manager in my career early on when I left NWA she became my manager but she was the one teaching me the game behind the scenes you know I wanted to show her in the movie but we just didn't have enough

real estate to get it in but she was very instrumental in me learning the game learning what not to do you know whenever you when you start something new first thing you learn is what not to do

so you don't make the major mistake because if you make that major mistake sometimes early you can't recover right so she was very instrumental in telling me what not to do and hooking me on with a lawyer by the name of Michael Ashburn

out of the bay and you know those two help me navigate Jerry Heller um you know they they helped me because you know my parents moms and pops you know they was

they didn't know nothing about the music industry you know they just knew this shit was keeping me out of trouble and they was with it and you had talent I don't even know if they worried about that part You know, they was like

You know, this is keeping him out the streets If hanging with Lanzo and Dre and all them dudes Is the answer So be it So, you know, they didn't know About the record business

So they wasn't somebody I could talk to About those kind of things You know, I talked to them about the issues I was having with the group in a general way, but, you know, I needed somebody to teach me the game, and I'm thankful to Pat Straub and Ney for teaching me the game.

we'll put you on there as a third verse I'm like nigga what I didn't ask no questions turn the people on I lay the verse I put the verse on there the next day Cube come in now I'm nervous as a motherfucker because I'm like this is fuck

the police coming straight front of underground a young nigga got it bad cause I'm brown and not the other color so police think they have the authority to kill a minority fuck that shit

because I ain't the one for a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun to be beating on and throwing in jail we can go toe to toe in the middle of a cell fucking with me

because I'm a teenager with a little bit of gold in the page of searching my car looking for the product thinking every nigga is selling narcotics they'd rather see

me in the pen then me and Lorenzo rolling in the Benzo Be the police Fout in shape And when I finish Bring the yellow tape So you'll understand

I got you You're gonna understand Where I was at I'm like This fucking cube Oh my God Clark said Cube

I want to let you hear some He played the shit Your heart beating out your chest You nigger My heart was Please let cube Like my shit He played that shit

Cube heard Norrie first I came on Q's head I came on Q's head who this Clark said that's Gilly he said man you did that man

how did you remember that moment Q I must have been too high I don't see it wasn't it wasn't special it wasn't especial to him wasn't why I don't remember that moment you know what I mean and he said man you did that man Clark said, what you want me think? He said, leave him on there.

Oh, man, that made, that let me know. That gave me light right there. Hey, to say, what I'm fucking doing is the shit. It's the shit. You know what I'm saying? And what's so crazy is that I see people out and about in the streets. And they tell me some shit that, like, yo, you really affected me. You really helped me.

Man, I appreciate you. And it just be some regular shit to me. me just being yourself just being myself so for cube it was just some regular shit to him but to me that shit meant everything man and that shit showed me that you might really got a shot with this rap shit without a doubt man it's it's the same thing you know when i first got put on um you'd be nervous as hell you know like dray was like rap acapella like right here bus and so you know you start going you just hoping that a dude that you respect just give you to salute you know just give you to salute whether he worked with me or not it was just you know

hearing me rhyme is saying that I was good and him saying you the shit um just took my confidence to another level yes it did so um I've always been down to work with you with new up-and-coming producers, MCs. They did shit. I'm down because, you know, I know people who, they only got to have names. You know, like, who produced that? Who produced this?

And they name dropping, they feature dropping. You know, I've never been that. I've always been like, if it's fresh, let's do it. Right. If it's the shit, let's do it. I don't care what your name is. And that's the way to be because at one time, guess what? But Pharrell didn't have a name.

Yes. Dr. Dre didn't have a name. Yes. He was somewhere trying to get into a room, trying to have a motherfucker listen to his beats. Yeah. So the man he freshes of the world, the Swiss beats, as of the words, the Swiss beats. As of the time, you all come from the same place. At one time, none of them didn't have a name.

At one time, the greatest probably rapper, actor, you do everything. You got you everywhere like broken glass. At one time, he was just wanting to. to be heard so to all the youngans out there understand when you get that opportunity to shine when them lights come on the stars shine when the lights come on baby right up so if you're not ready to shine when them lights come on then maybe this ain't the game for you because when I was given that opportunity for Q even though it wasn't to him what it was to me for him to coming there and say, oh no, leave him on there

and don't know me. I don't, I didn't, at the time, I didn't bring no fucking credibility to his record. You feel what I'm saying? So for me, that was just some real shit. Like, then they weren't crazy pushing wine like we remix and

Philly on the radio and so that shit just uplifted me and at that time, man, I'm in the streets in the streets, man. Like, Walo just went to jail where it had just got the 20 years. You feel what I'm saying, and we was running around here robbing shit and doing a bunch of dumb, goofy shit.

And Kube, you really gave me an opportunity and showed me like, damn. And that's something that I always took with me my whole life, man. And it was something that was extremely small to you. It was nothing to you, but it was everything to me. So I appreciate you. Well, I appreciate you telling me that, man. You know, to me, that's what it's all about. Absolutely.

Hearing people, you know, that you affect and touch. And seeing that they took it and ran with it, man, that's all you hope for is like, you pass the baton, little advice, you know, whatever you can give and people can take it and run with it and, you know, make shit a little better for their self. You know, it's really what it's all about in this game, man, is what you give, you know. Not what you get. So you just started your online store and you're doing what you love. Selling products to people you want and the orders are coming in fast. Now, the hard part, shipping. What you need to do is you need to get with Ship Station.

company, right? So it got a bunch. Growing up, the first person that I seen was you and Billy D. Williams on a moat liquor. Yeah. I'm talking about the first in the game was like, I never even like, it was just the first time I ever seen you know, only outside of that I, I seen my old head's

on the corner with the 40. But you and Billy D. The seed evolved to this, like when you, when you entered that that time, St. Eyes and all that, was it a lot of bread involved? Did they offer you equity or they just said we're going to pay you? Well, no, no, they didn't offer any equity it was a thing where they was

you know paying a fee for service you know it was it was great I got it I got to deal through DJ Poole shout out to DJ Poole who is a co-writer he's a legend yeah he doesn't produce the gang of my

hit records but y'all that scene Friday don't know who DJ Poo is it's red pop strip yeah he's a legend my bike man you know I wouldn't even do that Yeah, Poo is, he wanted, he's a brilliant, just one of the most brilliant dudes I know, um, and smart and funny and, and good.

He, you know, he's one of them dudes that you give me anything electronic, he's going run with it. And so, um, you know, DJ Poo, I forgot the damn story I was telling him. No, by the, seen eyes. St. Eyes. He was doing them with King T. King T. who, you know, the OG in LA.

And so he was like, Cube, I'm doing these things. Shout out to Minot, which is the guy who had owned St.I.'s at the time. And he was like, yo, they letting us do anything we want. I want to produce a commercial with you. I want you to do it. And, you know, to be honest, doing those St.E.'s commercials and that stuff, you know, led me to hook up with Gary Gray. F. Gary Gray, who directed Friday and directed, you know,

it was a good day video. He directed straight-out comedy. Yeah, Gary Gray, I met him through Dub C, but we was able to use Gary and do some commercials. Gary did a short film, which made it where New Line accepted him as the director to Friday. So that's a long story short. But, no, it was just a pay-for-hire thing. And we was glad to do it.

You know, we wasn't even thinking about, you know, the beer or the liquor business. You know, we was just thinking about trying to be the best rappers in the world. And so it was just a great opportunity to not only do those. I got my directing debut doing the Sain Eyes commercial before I did even one of my videos. So, you know, it was just a great job. great experience all around and those things you know they i think they had wutain they had biggie do do a from one of them or two so it was a thing where it just it spread it spread the brand all through the country the reason it was different because now the commercial was a little different from

when you did it you actually got paid now they do uh commercial liquor commercials on instagram where they just might send somebody a package they wasn't getting what you get they don't get paid they just be doing some like that's the new commercial yeah like the pour a drink whatever but now I'm going to go to something you know shout out the first friend rest of the piece of easy

I was like, whatever, man, what's happening? You know, so he was just telling me about the movie. He actually wanted all of us in the movie. He wanted Easy in the movie, Dre and them. But they, I guess he said he ran into them.

They didn't take him serious. At that time, I didn't take him serious. I was like, all right, man, you know, that's cool. Then I seen him again at the Bonaventure Hotel like a year later. He walked up to me saying the same. stuff, you know. You're perfect, man. I'm a, I'm a junior USC man, but dude, when I graduate, I'll put you in this movie. Like, all right, man, whatever.

Everything you hear from public enemy came from the Bond Squad. He said, I'm going to shoot over to connect with these East Coast boys and we're going to put this shit together.

By the way, he thinks he's a hip-hopist story. I am. He sounds like one. I am. Thank you. So, you know, I'm there. I'm checking out the show. I turn around and it's John Singleton.

He's like, remember me? I'm like, dude, you know, I'm seeing you every six months, every, you know, year and a half. Yeah, I remember you. It's like, yeah, man, I'm a senior now. USC, man, you perfect for this movie. Can I tell you about it? So I'm like, ah, you know.

All right, tell me about it. So he's telling me about the movie. I'm halfway paying attention. And I look around and his, everybody leave. You know, the place empty, parking lot empty. It's just me and him in there. And he asked for a ride to his dorm. I'm like, damn.

Damn, nigga. You know, I just met you. And I need a ride. And you want to ride? Nick, you just told me you going to go get in a movie and I got to drop you to fuck at your door. I end up dropping him off, man. I'm like, man, you know, if I don't see that dude again, then, you know, you keep telling me the same story. Year later, manager, Pat Sharper, and they come in and say, somebody want to put you in a movie.

I'm like, what? I'm not an actor, you know, so this is out of the blue. This is a lot of time in between. so I don't know what the hell she's talking about. She throw a script in front of me. She said, go read these on Thursday. It was Tuesday. I threw that script in my back seat,

put the paper in my pocket, just went on to the house. So on Thursday, I show up. I pulled the thing out of my pocket, I read the little lines. I go in there, and I think I'm going to see these white people in here to make this movie that they want me in.

I don't even know what it's about. I'm like, I walk in, it's John there. John's a legend. He was sitting there saying, remember me? I said, damn, you. He said, I told you. I'm put you in the movie.

I got a, I'm getting my movie made. I want you to be in. Are you ready to audition? I'm like, yeah. So I go audition and I'm terrible. I mean, I suck. I'm reading it. I can't get the flow.

And he just look at me. He's like, man. He said, everybody leave, put everybody out. He said, Q, man, that was terrible. Did you read my script? I said, no, I didn't read it, man. I didn't even know it was you. I was like, I thought it was some white people going to be in here.

He said, man, go home and read my script and come back. I'm going to give you one shot at this, man. I'll give you one more shot. I hope you better than you was today after you read this. So I go home and I read it And it's poison the hood So I'm like Damn

This is a script about our neighborhood This is how we grew What the hell? This is a movie? Is this movie worthy? I'm asking Kim My wife I'm like Is this movie worthy?

She's like I guess shit They're making a movie I'm like damn This shit is crazy And it's real I'm told to read it You know And so I'm hype

I go back up there and I killed all this in that time. He's like, oh, man, whew, I was going to have to fire you before you even got started. Just the man that you just dropped off in the corner of him. Yeah, yeah, a year ago. So, you know, long story short, man, that dude became my mentor in the game.

Help me actually become a screenwriter. He helped me direct. He helped me produce. Every time I needed some advice, I would call him because he went to school he went to all this I didn't go to none of that stuff

so I would lean on him and he was always gracious and I missed that dude man he was one of the realest on the set even at a young age he wouldn't let them people tell him what to do

and how to make his movie and I just miss him that's what I'm Gall of the Giants Singleton man rest in peace and that's a perfect example of you know when you on the way up just watch how you treat people you know what i mean because

boys in the hood is one of the greatest to me you know how i feel about the urban films the boys in the hoods the juices the menace to societies that they be to me they be some of the greatest work that's ever been put out because it's giving you you know what i'm saying a picture of what we go through where we from yeah you know what i'm saying so just imagine That film without Ice Cube, like you can't, it's almost, you can't even imagine that shit.

This is when you're some smart. I'm telling me, you're always about, I always seen y'all over the years. Like, what is the keys of, you know, staying married that long and just, you know, keeping staying connected? Respect is a big part of it, you know. She respects me and I respect her.

And we made that pack. You know what I'm saying? that we're going to go through this life together. We're going to have each other back, you know, through the good and through the bad and we're friends. So, you know, all that is the combination to me to make sure it work. Because it gets rocky, you know, but when you really think about it, you know, it ain't no place I would rather be.

And when she, you know, check the list and ain't no place she'd rather be so no matter what we're going through we're going to go through it together and we're going to get over it yeah and we're going to keep people out our business right you know and that be the key a lot of times yeah because you know you tell somebody your business even if it's your friend your sister brother mother whatever tell them your business and you end up making it making up with your woman yeah and then you go back around and your friend she's still on that shit she's still doing you know

and just you know knocking that scab off the womb um and you know if it ain't if it ain't violent then nobody else need to know and for me keeping people out your business because you know I've been with my wife

for 20 something years keeping people out your business is the key you know what I'm saying because if you in a relationship you should never get advice from a motherfucker that's single what they're going to tell you how to be single how to hit the club

so for me it's like we're going to keep our problems in-house you know we're not you ain't got to go run to your mom because at the end of the day you make your mom dislike me and then we still together and now I'm at cookouts and it's tension between

me and your mom and me and you we're made up your mom looking at me Like, I ain't fixing his plate, say it loud for the people in the back. I ain't fixing his plate. Yeah, I mean, that's what happens, you know. It's that residue. It lingers, and you don't made up. And, you know, if it ain't, if it ain't worth breaking up over,

it ain't probably worth arguing over, to be honest. Oh, that's some game right. That's me and I was going to be game right. I'm going to tell you something. Are we breaking up? We're not going to, you're not going nowhere, right? Okay. So we ain't, we won't stop this argument.

We ain't. We don't need the last chapter right now. Yeah, that baby. We ain't argued about me. If it ain't worth breaking up over it, it probably ain't worth arguing over. Now, now,

Players Club, right? Dion Sanders said one time y'all was in Atlanta took you to Magic City. Yeah. He said he was the first one. He was like, what the...

Yeah, I couldn't believe what was going on up in there. Magic City. Shout out to Atlanta, Magic City. So what the hell? They don't do this quite like this in Los Angeles. There's some kind of

the sheriff should be in here like somebody's violating something up in here right did that was that inspiring for player club did that give you the idea well it gave me the idea to do the movie

about the clubs in the south okay um you know the movie to me if a movie just got all good ingredients is worth doing like if you look at all the ingredients that make up a movie like the players club you start to say

damn we can put this together in a comprehensive way this could make a damn good movie so you know I start off the movies it all starts like a dinner with ingredients like movie about a strip club hmm movie about you know people making money people taking money people in there all the shaded characters around you know you just start to just look at the lifestyle and say yeah that That's movie work because, you know, everybody's a character. Right. And so if a movie has the ingredients, then it's really about, okay, how do we make this a movie? You know, how does this have a beginning, middle, and end?

Right. Three acts. You know, you put your character in some shit. No, you introduce your characters in the first act. Second act, you put them in some shit. Hold on, hold on, hold on. To all the film directors out there. So, listen, you can't ask for no better game to this shit.

All the writers, break that down one more time. And how much time or how many pages in the script is the first act? It's probably a minute of page, so the first act is probably 30 pages. He giving up that. See, this is why we bring y'all me and I was working for game. This is game. The first thing you do? First act is you introduce your characters to the people.

Second act, you put them in some shit. Probably 30 pages, too. And the third act, you get them out to shit. You clean the shit up. 60 pages is the script. What, 90? About 90, 100. You know, I mean, sometimes a first act may go 40 pages.

You might have a script that's 120 minutes. But a comedy is usually 90 minutes, you know, about 100 pages or less. So basically, I could go on a, I'll figure, what's that thing called, HBDM, what's the movie one, something, something? IDBM, some database, print out your script. Say if I print out the script a Friday. and I could just put my own thing in the format if yeah you can look at a script and say okay damn that's how you write a script right you got a hat this got a hat got a hat I mean it's like you know um characters action dialogue okay so action dialogue yeah okay cut go to the next scene set it up where you at

got to set up where you at write that action do walk in, sit down, do an interview and then you do the dialogue. What do you say? And when he get up, you write, he'd get up and you walk out. If you were shooting another Friday, right?

Yeah. Just off-site. Uh-huh. Which one of us will be Craig and Dayday? Who would be Craig and who will be Dayday? I think you would be Craig. No. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. I'm Craig. I'm Craig. This is a rap. I'm Craig. Cue Gate is a rap. I'm Craig.

This is Day Day Day. It's over. I don't have to worry about this shit no more. There you go. There you go. Now, what I loved about that so much, right? What made you, because, you know, a lot of people say because I was in jail, he always put, Damien, what made you come up with Damien then?

Because he really wanted to play Davey. The character? Yeah. Oh, man. Oh, two pockets. Oh, yeah. Yeah, what made you come up with him? I mean, you know, you got some dudes that they're hard,

but they've been in prison for a long time, so you never know when they come out, you know what I'm saying? With those, they've been in prison a long time. Long time. We can both agree 20 years is a long time. Well, look, I ain't saying just because you've been in there 20 years. No, he was. Not being anything.

Well, he was laying on the long with Sean. No, I'm just saying. You don't care. It's all different types, man. I don't want dudes who don't did long time coming at my neck. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, you know, some dudes that's been in there a long time, they like boys over girls.

Whoa, whoa. I don't know about that. We already know. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I mean, a couple people kissed him on the neck in there, but daddy, we don't, we don't even care about people judge him on that. No, they didn't kiss me to neck.

and they'd be bumped in traffic it wasn't like that to me to me to see a dude that big acting like that is funny yeah it was that it definitely was funny so so you know it's a comedy you know we're trying to push the push the funny

let me ask you a question out of all the sets you've been on the movie sets filming producing directing which was your favorite set where you left and you was like damn I had fun really doing this this movie uh Friday after next

and why because we knew what we was doing by the end and we knew you know what everybody was going to give us and then people came with you know they went deep into the tank to give us all kind of shit that we didn't expect so we just spent so much time laughing on that set

just shooting it laughing trying to get ourselves together to go shoot some more laugh you know after we get it the stuff that, you know, Cat Williams was doing. Was he freestyle doing that? Was he just adding stuff plugging in? Yeah, what we would do, you know, with the Friday movies,

we write a skeleton. You know, we write like, okay, this is what needs to come across. This one needs to be said. This is the scene. This is the points we're trying to get across. If you add a little bit of, you know what I mean, a little bit of, uh,

your own shit sauce. Yeah, little, little, Sugar and spice to that, go for it. You know what I'm saying? But remember, we got to get back to this to keep it all online. So it's a way to add live and do it in a control way. You still get all the shit you really need, but you still let somebody go off. So in the process of doing that, you know, cat is dropping Jews.

He's dropping gems, you know, he's going back. he he actually was ready focused for the part and uh every time we would turn the camera on he'd give us something better you know what i'm saying so we was like this dude need to be in more of the movie like you know i'm gonna make these parts thicker you know what i'm saying and so we just started to expand what we was going to give him as the movie went on so as he gets into that third act him and Terry Cruz just take it for a minute

I am a boy! Yeah you know they just take it and and it's cool you know that's what people like about my movies, the Friday movies or barbershop whatever I'm not going to hold you I'm not going to harness your talent

I'm going to let you go I'm going to let you blow I'm not going to step on it I'm going to let it do what it do and and, you know, made the best man win, the scene, so to speak. Right. Let me ask you a question. Have you found yourself having to do that a lot?

Like, you get to the set and you're like, damn. Because I've been on movie, you know, Ving, you know, I've, Ving, Rames, my OG. So he put me in about 10 movies. And I don't seem where they done change the script around, oh, damn, this person is better than what we thought. We're going to give you a little bit more dialogue. We're going to hold on. We're going to change the script last minute.

You know, you had a whole script now you, the next day, you get some whole. other shit where it's pretty much the same but you got more dialogue. You just said you had to do that for care. Have you had to do that a lot of times in the movies? Yeah, that's part of the process. You know, a movie, it's not a book. You know, you don't write it and just

the words are there. Read them as they are. You know, it's a moving, growing entity. So you got to get somebody the script, but you got to allow them to do what you paid them to do. Like,

I paid you to make this yours, to house it, don't. Don't just come be a robot and say my words, but be the character. What would the fucking character do, man? You know what I mean? Like, you should know the character better than me by now. Right. You know what I mean? If you take a part, you got to know the character better than the director.

You know what I'm saying? By the time you get there, because the director's thinking about all the characters. Right. The writers think about all the characters. You're thinking about one. You got to give him a past. You got to give him a life outside of what the words say so you can come in and be a real person and not just be these words on the page. Right. So you got to know your character better than the director.

So sometimes you got to tell the director, nah, man, my character wouldn't even do that. Right. And here's why. Right. You know. And you know what? On one of the movies that I played that I went to the director. the Ryan Cohn, shout out to Ryan, man. And I told him, I was like, this is kind of watered down. Like, you know, it would probably be better if you said something to,

he said, no, change it, Gilly. You're right. Change, so I understand what you're saying, you know what I mean. Yeah, and you know you're working with a real artist when you go to him and say, this is not real. Right. This needs to be tailor-made for me or whatever. Right.

Now, when you're working with a, you know, what I call a, propagandist is somebody who wants you to say it how it's written. They don't want no changes. Right. They just want it, just how it's written. Right. And it's like, man, you're not trying to make a movie. You're just trying to make some propaganda or something because you don't even want flavor.

Right. You know what I mean? Because if I'm a director, you know, when I pay you to come in, I'm not, I'm paying you for your personality as well. Yes. I'm not just paying you to come in. No skills. I'm playing you, so if, so if, so if, so if, so if I'm paying Mike Epson, he's talking about the snacks. In actuality on the paper, it might say three snacks, but when you're talking about the snacks, you can name 10 of them.

You see, and then she had the lollipops with a little plastic stick to the lollipop, and you got to bite it down. And then she had the caramel popcorn, you don't have to answer, but so when you add the extras, like, okay, bam, let's shoot that over. Make sure, now you got the director telling you to make sure you add it. shit that he didn't even have added in. Make sure you add in the caramel popcorn. That was a good one. And lick the fingers like you did. So when you want to set to all the up-and-coming actors,

just understand that the script is just a frame of what you're supposed to do. It's just, okay, you got to say this because we got to get to this point to get the movie to go on. But we need your personality. You're not just paying you to come in and say exactly. But for me, every time I hit the set, I would say, I would do a couple takes where I say what they wanted me to say. Mm-hmm.

And then, okay, now I'm going to do a take where I'm going to add my extras in. Yes. If you want to do it. If you want to take the shit which you just wanted me to say that, that's cool. If you want to take something from what I'm doing over here and add the extras in, that's cool as well. Yeah, you know, we usually tell them, you know, give us some house written and then, you know, go for it, man, get busy.

Right. Do you. Right. And then we, you know, we'll take a mixture of both. depends on the flow of the scene when I was working you know it's all too

you know it's not only how you shoot it but it's how you edit it as well a movie can be it can be fucked up in a few different points of course in the writing

of the script like I never go in with a script that's not tight already and funny like the scripts are already funny and tight or them dudes wouldn't even agree to do the movie. So, but when they add that little extra to it,

that's where the magic, you know, happens outside of what's written. So, you know, that's what it's, you know, you've got to really get it in and put in that extra work. Get it how it's written and then let them go for it and have fun. That way your actors don't feel like robot. You know, you're not paying, like, a program. You're not programming somebody. You want them to do what they do.

It's like the plumber. Right. Like, you tell them to come in and say, man, the sink is leaking. That's all you say, but use your talent to fix. Don't just listen to me because I ain't going to tell you how to fix the shit. Right. You know, I'm telling you what's wrong. You go in there and use your talent and shit, I'll pay you.

I love EZ. He, you know, he understood personality. He understood marketing. Yes. Now, EZ wants to pay thousands of dollars to go to a Republican Party dinner in the White House. Unbelievable. The thousands of dollars that he paid got millions of dollars worth of marketing. The marketing was unmatched.

What is a story about EZ that nobody know, man? A good moment that you had with Easy, man. oh damn that was a that was a flip uh you know easy yeah you know more than just a moment because we had a lot of moments you know the kind of guy he was was just a guy that was extremely smart extremely funny um and you know he had a dark sense of humor straight up you know he was he would laugh at some of the shit you'd be like damn man you know damn damn he um like we're not supposed to be laughing yeah we're supposed to laugh at that i don't think um and and so he was the i guess the the batteries in our back you know what i'm

saying as far as this is the direction we need to go like stop trying to rap like these New York rappers man you're not a New York rapper it ain't gonna work rap about the shit that's going on around here and we had already started it but it was just for fun like we was doing mixtapes

me and Dre we would do tapes and talk about all kind of shit going on up and down the street but we was like ain't nobody gonna buy that on the record and Easy was like no that shit y'all trying to make as records nobody gonna buy this shit

right here y'all doing everybody going to buy it and we was like how they even going to find it because it's so dirty how you're going to play it on the radio you know he's like no radio no video how anybody going to even know this record is even here um he was like man lead that up to me you know what i mean these the kind of records we need to be doing and to see that to have that vision to not be in the industry at all just to know that this is going to work. That raw street shit, you said. Yeah, he just knew that's our angle.

You know, everything else we're doing is bullshit. And he was said, he was like, man, I don't want these kind of records on Rufus. And then he signed JJ Fad with Super Sonic. Super Sonic. I was like, nigga, I thought you didn't want these kind of records. He was like, yeah, but this is a hit. That was a hit.

Super Sonic was there. He said, hey, he said, JJ Fad went gold. Y'all ain't went shit yet. So I'm like, yeah, they were the shit. I'm like, okay. All right, all right.

He said, wait, hold the fuck up. Hey, I thought you said it. Now, this shit hot. Yeah, it's hot, man. You know, you got to go. He's like, I can't see Q board a record. He's like, no, that's not for you. It's for them, though.

Yeah. And this shit's hot, but that's not for you. Yeah, exactly. And he was, to me, just as instrumental as Barry Gordy was at Motown, like, at bringing it together, as George Clinton is with P-Funk. Right. He is the ringmaster.

You know, he brings it all together and, you know, had us revolving around, you know, his universe. And, you know, then we became a group. We were an all-star group. NWA is considered an all-star group. Because you had the best of everybody that was dealing with at the time. Yeah. Just making one group. Easy.

Yeah. We was all from different other groups. And we all came together, like the super friends or some shit. And what's the truth then? They used to be like, Q'd be writing 80% of that shit. Not 80%. That's a bit much.

You got to give us some credit to D.O.C. D.L.C. A lot of easy's hits. Oh, okay. And, uh, M.C. Rann. So between us three, we got it done. Oh, okay.

Dre would write a little bit, um, but he was more on the producing tip. Mm-hmm. Um, but, you know, between, you know, me and D.O.C, I mean, D.O.C is a monster, beast. At the time, you know, it was like, um, you know, um, you know, know he was setting benchmarks yeah so you know I felt like I was setting benchmarks too so you know it was kind of like who gonna write the best song for easy right you know especially after you know on that easy does it album you know uh uh doc he penned a lot of that album right there was him and ran did the competition of all of y'all being in the room and you knew

that the doc had that pin you knew that ram was what would Did that push y'all to be great? Like, I want to be, I want to have the best song. I want to be. Hell yeah, because you wouldn't, you wouldn't be on the record. I mean, straight up, you tell you, this shit ain't hot, pulling you off. I'm erasing your 16 if it ain't hot. So.

Did they ever tell you he was coming off a record? No, I never came off a record. I never came off a record. You know what I find? And the rest of them. But they didn't put me on the record. What? Like, it's not like I came off a record,

but it was a record that I wasn't invited to. And you wanted to be on that one? Yeah. I wanted to be on Comptons in the house. Okay. You know what I mean? So you was a little pissed. I was a little pissed. Who the fuck made the calls?

Yeah. And, you know, I'm not born and raised in Compton. You know what I mean? But that was something you were to be a part of. And they're like, nah, you're not born and raised. born and raised in Compton. But you know what?

They had a point, though, Keith. Yeah, they had a point. You know, I wasn't going to say that part. So what you was like... But you was doing straight out of Compton. Because we was coming. We was trying to... No, because Keith versus so hot,

I mean... You're from Compton today, too. I mean, you got a copy. Once we did the record... Once we did the record, you know, all that went... Went to the wayside. But the Compton record came out before

we did straight out of Compton. And so, yeah, they was like, no, this is just me and ran. They was like, should we like Cube on this muffin' street? It's like, just me and Ray. Cube, what are they from, straight out of Compton. Crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube from the gang called niggas win attitudes. They was like, oh, no, no, he's from Copton. No, I started that record off.

I kicked it off. They had to come behind me. One of my things you killed, a lot of people probably don't know about it was on D.O.C. Grand finale. Yeah. You came in and you went to fuck off on that. Yeah. Now, that's an NWA record.

Yeah, that's a real, yeah. At the end, and it was, that was powerful. Now, tell me this. Back in the day, y'all crossed over like this, but y'all crossed over and still was accepted by the hood, y'all still stayed the hood. Even though the majority of the people that was in them crowds was white folks, majority of the people that ran their shit up the charts

with no radio play was white folks. How was it that y'all was there? Because today, that shit ain't happened. I'm seeing artists cross over, and they're done in the hood, be like, all right, you crossed over. and y'all still was ever to stay connected to the bottom. Y'all had the, I'm talking about y'all had the cheers and y'all had to support, undeniable support from the bottom,

but yet most of your records was being bought and arenas was being sold out by white people, which is the crossover. So what was the key to stand, like, to be able to cross all the way over, sell millions of records, and still be relevant and have the extreme support from the hood that I don't see that today.

I think it was a situation where everybody could see that people crossed over to us. Okay. It wasn't like we was making a crossover record. Okay. It was like people were coming and dealing with us on our terms. And so we didn't have to go anywhere. You know what I mean? We just stayed where we was, stayed planted, and everything kind of started to revolve around us.

You know, I mean, look at how people would dress before. for EasyE and then how people start dressing after Easy. He brought in all the baggy clothes and all that crazy stuff. You know, and if you look at the 90s, you know, everybody clothes was big. But that's from EasyE. If you look at how he wore his clothes and then how hip hop started to evolve, it's after his pattern. And so, you know, we wore it, but every now and then he wore it every now and then.

And he wore it every day. Yeah. So it's just a thing where, you know, that dude was super influential. And everybody wanted to be like Easy E at the time or NWA. There's a few other groups out there doing it, but a lot of people just kind of crossed over to us. and you know a lot of people blamed us for for messing hip hop up you know what I mean turning to where like all this cussing didn't happen before NWA but they got to understand we was just doing our own style we was doing what what we felt was in our lane and back then everybody

stayed in their lane everybody had their way of presenting hip hop that was accepted you know from you know Bismarkey to De La Soul to Tribe called Quest Tribe ultramagnetic Everybody had their own

identity and then slowly but surely it just seemed like hip hop started to to mirror that NWA identity because it was so raw it was so gritty

it was so in your face It was so unapologetic I don't give a fuck what y'all think And people love that shit It was actually It was almost like this All the music that was coming out Around that time was on some superhero shit

And then MWA came and it was the villain Like they was the bad guy They was the joker They was the people that didn't give a fuck And people gravitated to that shit I remember being 12, 13 years old playing that shit We actually got into a car accident, my cousin Raiz

crashed into somebody on JFK, 17th and JFK Boulevard playing NWA. I'm a motherfucker nigga with it. I let the good die young so it makes me young and bad. Putting ass weapons on the niggins that the gras out. But you

know why? America love wrong. Wrong is king. Nothing is worship more than wrong. It was built off wrong. Yeah. Wrong is the shit. Wrong. You know, fill up give his job security to a lot of correctional officers, police. Wrong fill up jails.

We love the bad guy. We love Goodfellers. Goodfellas. Guy Favre, a Scarface. That's why wrong is the shit in America. That's why everybody that was in the idea of, oh, I can look at them in the ghetto, see him doing crazy shit, I ain't got to be there.

So I could watch it. It's cool. I could subscribe that. I could buy that tape and listen to it. And the fact of getting your tape and playing when their parents wasn't in the house or listening to it and they walk man the sneaky shit and that's what they love and that's why y'all won I mean that's what

attracted me to Richard Pryor Eddie Murphy Paul Mooney shit all the records all the great comedians red fox super dirty so I definitely understand that appeal

definitely understand what happened but I don't see how we could be the blame for you know it's like we was doing what we do and um and so you know setting a trend in a lot of ways it wasn't even a trend we set because ice tea came before us uh school E D school E D uh King T he just throwing names out there he was trying to show you he's a hip-hopist story I know not no no school E day because the six of the morning Looking at my Gucci, it's about that time. Chiba, all that shit.

Six in the morning came out. Ice, fucked them up with six in the morning. It's a version of PSK. Yes. So, you know, it ain't like we the first. So, you know, I was always like, damn. You know, we ain't the ones that did it. The gangster.

Hold up. Beansdough schoolie came out before ICE. Right? Before just ice? No, no. No, ice tea. Yeah. So you got PSK, you got Sadden, all that shit, that gangster shit that schoolie was talking.

So could you say, could you say that gangst shit started in the East? I can't say that because you had people like Mixed Master Spay and doing tapes. You know what I mean? You don't know Mixed Master Speed, huh? No, no, I don't know him. Yeah, yeah, Mixed Master Spade. You know, they was doing tapes talking about the street and the hood. We just didn't think we could make a record like that.

And we already felt like coming from the West Coast that we had to, you know, climb the mountain a little higher because, you know, people was frowning upon that, you know, New York was the Mecca, is the Mecca. And so it's like, you know, we was already trying to figure it out, like, what we need to do to break through. and in a way we were almost not worried about getting into mainstream hip hop we felt like we was never going to be run DMC we was never going to be Eric Dean Rock Camp like EPMD like these are slick rig upper echelon of hip hop you know we was West Coast you know, rappers. So we just decided like,

well, let's just be hood stars. Like, people are going to love the shit out of of us in L.A. Let's just leave it right there. Let's just make sure they love us in L.A. And once we broke it down to that, then we blew up. Then it was like, boom, this is our style.

And we didn't even know it was going to do that. We just felt like we'd do some shows up and down in California. for you and we'd be all right and that shit just exploded this episode of a million dollars worth a game is also brought to you by roman deli one thing about roman deli they're easy to swallow pill they tested so many different shapes and sodans and is available i'm talking about available in a monthly subscription for 35 hours a month or you can save with a quarter subscription of 87 this is a really easy way to support physical activity brain health your immune system and heart health no prescription required i'm talking about you don't need no prescription the roman deli

I didn't even dirty. Yeah. And then Steve Jack, he'd get it too. But me and him against them two and big two. Nah, no, man. How did that come about? Just as a fan, you know, seeing Kobe score 60 points in his last game. I'm like, man, it ain't nowhere we could see this dude play no more.

That's a problem. Yes. I mean, I'll pay, I'll pay money. I know he's playing in some gym around here, man. Where's it at? You know what I mean? You're like, yeah, that was a good idea. And I'm like, you know what?

There's probably a lot of dudes that are playing around the city that people want to see, man. Why they ain't playing in front of nobody, you know what I'm so? Then I start thinking about, like, how could that happen? I started thinking about three on three. Like, they're doing a lot of amateur shit with it, but it hasn't been elevated to the pro level why not why they're playing in the parking lot right and not playing in the arena with the people in the names you know right and nobody had an answer so i'm like brain started going a guy with my my partner jeff you know he's crazy and we both been just mad scientists you know

coming up with shit and so um we start brainstorming argued for a year about rules and how the league should be set up and it should be this it should be that man I hate free throws man how do we solve that one free throw for the points you know

they're taking a three pointer the shot should be a three pointer who the fuck want to see three free throws you know what I'm saying so just started to saying man you know what then we came with a four point circle it's like man this

it's something I want to see because everybody know the NBA should have a four point something by now the niggas is shooting from the parking logo yeah so I'm like

this this could work and then when you start getting people like Dr. Jay we got Alan Iverson year one interested in like Dr. Jay like I want to be a coach Alan Iverson like I want to

play like oh damn this could work you know Chauncy Billups Kenyon Martin was the first guy we got to actually sign the contract and we just ain't never looked back we just felt like it was a void in the

market, it's born in the summer if you're not a baseball fan Oh my God, you go through them three months with no sports. Preseason football is okay but they don't even play the whole game you can only watch a quarter or two so I'm like the summer there's a void
