When you said, when you hit me and was like, man, I was watching your old
when you said that, I was like, oh, yeah, I got to go with them.
You know what I'm saying?
Because a lot of people don't even know.
A lot of people haven't even put that together that I'm the same person that was doing that.
You know, that's doing what I'm doing, like, unless you've been following me for a while.
And like, you just, you've been like really a follower, then you know.
But a lot of people I see on TikTok be like, man, is this the same dude that was doing an old man?
I think a lot of people know you, bro.
Like, and if they watch any type of content moving through their IG
or anything like that, Mr. Mojo Brooks pops up, man, the Sharp Tank.
No Jumper.
No jumper.
No jumper.
Sharpest, coolest podcast in the world.
Yes, sir.
And today, I got a guy.
Hey, man, I've been watching for a long time before I got on, man.
You know, even when a nigga would feel down through certain things, you know,
I have to pick myself back up.
I would catch one of your skits.
whether it was the Mr. James and, you know, like that, bro.
That's dope.
It was dope to watch Mr. Mojo Brooks, man, for real.
And just to watch what you brought, what you bring to content, for real, my nigga.
I appreciate that, bro.
And way back then, you know, I'm going to tell you, when I was doing that, Mr. James,
I used to kind of feel like I wasn't really necessarily getting the recognition that I deserved from that.
You know what I'm saying?
So, you know, to hear that coming from you, you know,
That's a major plus because...
I mean, recognition, let's be honest.
And I'm not saying people don't get...
I mean, they'll get a million views,
but on Instagram to get there a million likes.
A likes.
That's a lot.
Like, I know what it does for the content community,
so I'm like, damn, for a n-do-that-shundedly,
he's got nobody pushing behind him, you know?
And you did...
The most recent one I watched you do
was the sniper fit.
Okay.
I watched that one.
And then I watched you do the...
collab with Jack is funny.
Man, that's my dog, man.
That's my dog.
I'm going to tell you something.
You know, I say this all the time.
It's a new nigga every day.
But I'm telling you, dude,
dude's going to be big, man.
Dude funny, man.
Like, when we came together,
you know, you can't,
the chemistry is not going to be there with everybody.
But when me and him came together,
I'm talking about instantly.
As soon as the camera came on,
it just, you know, it clicked.
The ideas was coming together.
I think, like I said,
dude's going to be big, man.
Well, before we talk about him and y'all, y'all dealings,
I like, bro, the most recent one,
it's like you don't,
um,
you never seem to fail.
Like,
it's like,
you always come with something that ones up.
Mr. James ran for a while.
Oh, wow.
And if people aren't familiar with that one,
he did a skit to where it was
him playing the older trick.
It was almost like Nate.
Yeah.
Off a set it off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was kind of like a Nate,
like the way he did it.
Yeah.
It was cold, but you do a twist to it, like the wide nose and big face, you know.
He wasn't the most handsomest, you know what I'm saying?
But he had the words for these little turrets.
And he had the money.
You know?
He had the money.
Yeah, what they wanted.
And I don't know, because I tried to research even further back than that,
and I feel like that was one of the ones that really grasp everybody.
That's what broken.
That's what I felt like where I found you.
Yeah.
You know what?
Mr. James, so it's crazy.
So the first time that I had ever did, Mr. James, was like January 2017.
And I was using the, you was talking about the face.
I was using a Snapchat filter.
And I wanted to say I had did the first one and never, like it had did good.
Like people was wanting more of it.
But Snapchat had took the filter down.
So I couldn't do it no more.
And I want to say it was November, later that year, November 2017, they brought a
back. And I'm telling you, like, I feel like things happen on time for a reason because I headed
in January and then it went away. And then at that time, I was doing other stuff, but I was kind of
like really focusing on my stand-up to get it strong because I said it ain't no point in me blowing
up and then I can't get on stage. So the Snapchat filter was gone. It came back in November after
I had, you know, went like six, seven hard months or just straight stand-up, open mics, you know,
I'm doing showcases and stuff. So November,
2017 the mr james filter you know the filter comes back and it was there for like i'm talking about
it never led like it had never went anywhere so i was able to start doing it and i'm talking about the
first one out the gate i remember as soon as i seen it on my phone i was probably about an hour
and a half away from home and i was thinking about what we know what would be the next video and um i
mean just how i envisioned my head that's how i did it i woke up the next morning the video was at like
4.5 million views in less than like 24 hours.
And I just ran, I just ran with it.
And I was able to do so much with Mr. James because it was character work.
So when you got a character, you can put a character into any situation.
And that's how I was able to keep that.
Man, you know, I ran there for a long time.
A long time.
And I'll be real with you.
I don't think for people like yourself, it's hard to, like you said, man, I thought about it.
I woke up and I did that shit.
It wasn't really.
hard for you, you know, to just kind of bring up some content that, like, hey, I think the people
are like this.
You know what I'm saying?
They took a vibe to you.
Yeah.
That's just cold right there, homie, for real.
It's not a lot of people have, um, everybody wants to have the stage presence, right?
Or be like, oh, I can get on, I can do what he does even better than him.
Yeah.
But I'm telling y'all, when y'all sit in front of cameras and y'all sit in front of lights
and you know the world's about to watch you.
Yeah.
That shit changes up.
the man, hey, good luck.
Good luck.
It's not for everybody.
Listen, I just did an arena with me, D.C. on fly, Chico being just hilarious in Columbus, Georgia.
And like you said, people would think they can do it until you step out on that stage
and you standing in the middle of five, six, seven thousand people, you know, it's you.
It's just you.
And it's all eyes on you.
Was that your first experience doing something like that?
No, that was, do you know what?
I want to say that might have been the biggest.
space that I've been in, but I've done like 4,000 seat theaters, 2,000 seats.
I got a 1,000 seat that's coming up I'm about to do.
We got a 2,500 seat I'm about to do in Minnesota.
So I'm really built for those type of stages, for those large audiences.
Like, I'm built for that.
Like, I write material.
When I write jokes, oh, this is going to kill in a theater or this is going to kill in an arena.
And then I got stuff that I know, oh, this is going to kill in a comedy club.
but, you know, I work so hard at just, you know, at both ends of the crafts to stand up.
And then I always try to keep the content as far as the skits and stuff.
I try to keep it fresh and as relatable as possible because if people can relate to it, they're going to like it.
Mr. Brooks, please tell us when you first thought about, you know, even doing some stand-up,
did somebody find you funny in the point?
Did you feel like you believed in yourself?
Like, I feel like I can make funnier jokes than a lot of these.
So, man, I'm going to be honest with you.
It wasn't nothing that I wanted to do.
I always wanted to be famous.
I just didn't know.
I just didn't know how.
You know what I'm saying?
I just didn't know how.
I was like, I want to be famous,
but I just didn't know how.
I didn't know what my lane would be.
And I guess the signs were always there.
You know, when I was in fifth grade
was the first time I seen the Kings of Comedy.
And we went home from spring.
We went back to school from spring break.
And I was able to recite Bernie Mac whole
stand-up set to my classmates when we got back.
I met to school doing his jokes, you know.
Shout out to the great.
To the great Bernie Mac from the career.
Too, shout to him represent.
Talk about it.
But he, you know, so even then in fifth grade, like,
it was something that I liked.
I always like watching it, but I never like,
you know, being a comedian just became popular.
You know, it wasn't always a thing that a lot of people
wanted to do.
It just now became a thing where everybody's trying to do it
or, you know, everybody, you know, putting their hand in it.
So my sister-in-law, she used to be like,
I used to tell them stories.
I go to the barbershop, my barber, I would just tell them stories
about stuff that I was going through.
It would be the greatest conversations going on.
At the barbershop.
Man.
Why you always think I keep my hair cut, man?
Man, once a week.
I go once a week, man.
It's therapy, man.
And I just remember sitting in there,
and my barber was like, bro, you're a comedian, man.
Like, you need to take this stuff.
You need to do it on state.
And I'm like, I ain't doing it.
I ain't doing that.
But I've never been, like, afraid of speaking in front of people.
I've never been afraid of, you know, standing up and being, I've never been afraid of it.
So, you know, one day I was like, man, you know, I was on van and I was watching these guys on van.
And I was like, man, I could do this shit, man.
I could do this.
And I started doing it.
And, you know, it probably, you know, when I first started off, you know, I was growing.
You know, I was doing the typical stuff, you know.
we first came out.
Everybody was trying to, you know, what moms be like,
what dads be like.
That's kind of what I started out doing.
And before I went into the Mr. James.
So it's kind of like, you know,
I kind of held on to the real until I was able to find
what my identity was and who I was going to be, you know,
as far as, you know, within the guidelines of comedy.
And once I figured that out, then you got Mr. James.
Then you got me at the ring doorbell camera.
Now I got the child support.
course skits going. I mean, I got so much
stuff going right now. But it's relatable.
Man, listen. That's what,
listen. I got some shit about the box.
I got some little shit. That's relatable.
I got to, um, I,
I agree with you, I agree with
you to a large magnitude
of when you say like, you
was watching people on Vine. Yeah.
You know, and not even to get into myself, but to keep
it about you just to resonate with you.
I think about, I'm like, damn, I was in Fresno
watching Joe Rogan, a lot of
JRE, and I would catch myself
pausing it every time talking about it.
And I'm like, damn, I can do this.
And then a year later, I'll find myself through here on me.
It's just like, you know, and it's not like,
and it's not a diss to the people that was doing it.
No, no, not at all.
You know what?
Actually, it's like, thank you.
Because you showed me that it was possible.
You showed me that it was a lane there.
And I know where my capabilities are.
So I'm watching like, oh, no, I could do this.
And I know what's in my head.
you know, I'm not going to say it's better than what you're doing,
but I know what I got people going to like.
So you believed in yourself before anybody.
Like you knew, you said, hey, man, I can do this.
I can do this.
I'm going to step up to the plate.
And I'm going to do it, yeah.
Because, like you said, like, being a comic, like, there's not the, the,
because I love death jam.
And I loved, like, I loved watching these things, man.
You know, even when BET, man, they would push these things.
Comic View.
Yeah.
Comic View was popular.
But I think it was for the up-and-common.
That's what I loved about it.
It had such a...
Because you never knew none of the people.
You never knew none of them.
You had to see what the fuck it was.
Yeah.
You know, so to see now, it's like the only way you can get into being a comedian's
if you already had some push.
I don't think that's cool because there's a lot of starving comedians out here
that would love to be in these doors.
but when they go and talk to certain people,
they're like, okay, well, let us get your analytics.
Yeah, how many followers you got?
How many followers you got?
I know so many dope comics, man, that go through that.
Sad, bro.
And it's hard, you know, here's the thing.
It's hard for me, you know,
because, you know, as, all I can do is get in the game.
Yeah.
This is what you need to do.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
If you want to do this, you want to make this amount of money,
you want to get into these doors.
Look, this is what you need to do.
And, you know, the internet is not for it.
Everybody cannot.
It's crazy because the argument used to be that the social media, you know, comedians
couldn't transition into being stand-up comedians.
But nobody ever talked about how the traditional stand-up comedians that we all know and love,
how some of them can't transition over and gain and grow a social presence.
And now that the wave is gum, now that the wave is went, social media has done.
dominating a comedy game, and it's like, you need this in order to do the, you know, in order to do the other.
So, well, you know, when I talk to people, it's kind of like, you know, I'm in a weird spot because I got the numbers.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm going to get into these clubs.
I'm going to get onto, you know, a lot of these package shows with, you know, with D. Ray Davis and Corey Hope.
I'm like, yeah, that's my daughter.
We just did.
Both your biggest is funny.
Man, we just did.
All three of us was just on the show together.
and DC last weekend.
So I like Corey.
Corey is.
I watch his stuff like outside of the stand-up
and like the brother got knowledge.
Listen.
The brother brings some fucking knowledge.
I had never,
I only had seen him on TV.
So I had never,
we had never met like last Saturday
was our first time meeting.
And even after I got done performing,
I went to set out in the audience.
And I watched them.
Dude is brilliant.
genius. And a lot of people
think maybe he's a little too rough, maybe,
you know, he's a little bit too far. But that shit is real.
Listen, I do the same thing.
You're going to have people that are going to like it.
Me and me and Corey are in the same,
you know what I'm saying, same bracket when it comes to that,
like of we tell the
ugly truth.
The ugly truth. It's, you know, we're
unapologetic in the way that we speak.
We speak. You know what I'm saying? So for
for him, I mean, he
might have a couple of
critics are a couple of haters.
I'm sure a lot of comics go through that
regardless of the fact.
But the ones that are there,
we know. We know what's up.
And it was real. Like, listen,
when I listen to him talking, some of the stuff he said, it's real.
He said a lot of stuff that
other men are afraid to say
because they're worried about how people are going to think about them.
And anybody that can just be unapologetically
themselves, who they are, and speak what's on their
mind and have no regrets
about it, I can fuck with that.
Well, I feel like you've been the same, especially
with your content. It's
funny, but to be real,
you show transparency and how
far people are willing to go. In certain
things. Waiting outside
a bitch mama house. You know
I'm saying? Like, that shit really happens.
I make jokes about it all the time
and be like, man, some of these bitches, they know
what it's like to deal with a nigga to hop out the bushes
sweating. She asked him,
why are you here and why are you
Why are you wet?
Why are you breathing?
Why are you breathing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like this shit, it might sound
funny, but there's people that
have really experienced.
Oh, yeah, it's people that's traumatized
behind those experiences.
And listen, I, man, I see it
in my comments all the time.
This video triggered me.
You know, I see it all the,
I mean, all the time
this video triggered me,
but it's real.
And I think the light should be shined
on that type of shit.
People should see it.
Have you ever had any videos
that triggered you?
that somebody else did
because obviously you, listen,
you make a lot of content.
Your shit gets watched by the masses.
Yeah.
But, you know, you being celebrity
and, you know, people knowing you.
Yeah.
You know, there's stuff that you like to watch.
Yeah, it is.
There's stuff that you might just walk to you.
You don't watch your own Instagram.
You watch another ones.
Yeah.
You don't follow a lot of people.
You're still watching them.
Yeah.
You know what?
You know, I'm not a, I'm not an easily triggered person.
You know what I'm saying?
And because, you know, when you do comedy, first of all, anybody that does comedy and they does it well, they're not all the way, your shit not all the way right up here.
Like, you, you didn't see some shit, you didn't been through some shit.
Like, in order for us to laugh at some of the shit, we laugh about, like, we're a little bit, we're a little bit crazy.
I feel like Dave Chappelle holds the crown right now.
No, no, as of, I'm talking about number one comedian.
Like, for the black, for the culture, for the black culture.
disagree.
Talk to me.
What would you disagree in that?
I mean, let's be honest with you.
I think Dave is
Dave.
I think Dave is Dave.
Dave is one of the ghosts.
I think Dave is
top three.
I think top right now,
like top of the game
is Kevin Hart.
And I'm going to tell you why.
I'm a little guy stick to y'all.
Y'all sure don't.
Y'all stick together.
I see what the fucking is.
Dave, I got your fucking back.
No, I'm fucking with this.
Shit.
We just smoke a cigarette together and talk about him one day.
I'll fuck with Dave, man.
Look, I'll fuck with Dave a thousand percent.
But I'm just, this is the thing.
Dave, without respect about Dave, Dave,
Dave come in and do the job,
and then Dave disappear for a little bit.
Come back, he always writing.
He always got new shit.
His specials are always good.
I just, the thing about Kevin Hart is,
it's the body of work of everything that he does.
Yeah.
It's the movies.
It's the series.
it's all of the specials.
The man got fucking workout clothes.
He got a restaurant.
I'm talking about as an entity in itself.
But let's be real.
What I love about Dave Chappelle is
he not only had his own skit show.
That sold to the masses.
Yeah.
Dave Chappelle, the reason why we're able to do this shit,
we do now.
Let's fucking be honest.
That's what I want you to understand.
I'll fuck with Dave.
Yeah.
And I like how he's able to get intimate with crowds.
He don't even like to do big ones.
He likes to sit where everybody can kind of sit around him.
Yeah.
And not only hear the joke, feel the joke.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And them, those intimate crowds, that's why I like doing comedy clubs.
You're going to the comedy club and those people sitting up on you,
you can make the show so much more personable to the people that's there.
You know what I'm saying?
You can bring them into the show.
So I understand that.
I like that.
But it's something about when you do those theaters and those arenas,
the roar of laughter that you hear comes with like an addiction that I can't even.
Let's be honest.
And let's, all right, let me level with you here.
Okay.
Let's compare Kevin Hart with Dave Chappelle.
Let's do it.
I'm not saying Kevin Hart didn't have to go through anything,
but he came after what, when Dave Chappelle was bringing certain jokes,
he really got some backlash.
Some bad things to where it made him up and moving.
People didn't even hear from him for a while.
For a while, yeah.
So you have to think about some of the things,
and I'm not saying Kevin Hart, shout out to him,
I'm not saying he ain't never went through anything.
But when you look at what Dave Chappelle had to go through,
he had to face adversity.
He had to go through what comedians do is they find that brick wall.
And either he's going to go left
and really go start telling some truth to bring some of the jokes.
Or he can get stuck and fall off.
And I feel like Dave Chappelle, he didn't get stuck on that.
Either you love him for what his, him being unapologetic about how he speaks.
Let's be honest.
His jokes are funny.
Yeah.
They're funny, bro.
But people take them so to heart because to them it's not jokes.
It's true.
It's truth.
Yeah.
And here's the thing.
You can tell the joke that's the truth.
I thought that's what the funniest jokes were.
It is.
I'm just being honest.
I thought that was the funniest jokes, right?
When it's the truth.
You find the truth.
Because if it's true, that means we're relating to it.
That means, like, I've been through that.
I know somebody that's been through that.
I know somebody that's been through that.
But the difference with, and I love what you said,
and they're two different type of comics.
You know, Dave Chappelle, he's going to straddle the, you know,
the defense.
He's going to step over the line.
Whereas the cap of heart, that's not his lane.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not his lame.
He don't go there.
You know, he's going to talk about relatable stuff.
You know, he's going to talk about his family.
He's going to talk about different experiences and adventures.
He went on.
He going to talk about relationships.
And that's okay, too.
And I think you kind of get the best of both worlds from the both of them.
What I love about, you're right.
And you're absolutely right.
Like, Dave Chappelle reminds me of the guy that's man on the street walking with a cigarette.
And he's going to tell you some.
stuff that he's seen walking on the streets.
Yeah.
Just he didn't have to be a gangster.
He didn't, he could have been a hardworking man.
But every day he's got to walk through a certain neighborhood.
He's got to walk through certain shit.
And he sees it, man.
And he speaks it.
And he speaks it.
And he speaks it, yeah, yeah.
So I love that about Dave Shapley.
Like I said, I'm with you.
I feel like him and Kevin Hart, I think they both, like, at the top of the game.
But the only reason why, like I said, why I said Kevin, I just think it's just a body.
it's just everything that he does.
Like he's always doing something.
You always, I mean, kid cartoons.
You know what I'm saying?
He's voices in there.
Like, he's just always doing something.
And I think that's just the epitome of a hard worker.
Not saying that Dave don't work hard.
I know Dave work hard.
Because Dave, I've never, you know,
you will see Dave go up and do a whole new set
and he just dropped a special, you know what I'm saying, last week.
So you know he worked hard to write this shit.
Yeah, just sales.
So, like I said, I think it's just two different.
Number ones.
Yeah.
And Kevin Hart be number one.
Number one.
You know what I do love about Kevin Hart to go and jump on that side and, you know,
we'll keep it moving.
But just to look at Kevin Hart, yeah, he does have a lot of accomplishments.
He has liquor.
He has certain things that, like, people are like really, he does movies.
He does stand-up.
He does a lot of different things.
He in the UK right now doing his tour.
He doing his tour, like overseas, you know what I'm saying?
Like, he's taking his material that he wrote.
here in America
and taking it over there.
We just face the fact that
look, because we'll never get off of it.
So I'm just going to face the fact here.
They both at the top of the game.
That the short guys stick together.
That the short guys stick together.
I said it in the very beginning of the conversation.
Listen.
And I'm going to say it at the end of it.
My opinion is definitely
it's definitely biased because
y'all stand together.
You know what?
Leave each other.
Like for the small ones of y'all get up to this fucking magnitude.
I don't think.
It doesn't leave it, bro.
It's okay.
Listen to me.
I'm going to tell you.
I have a personal connection with what Kevin Hart went through to get to where he had.
So you understand the story.
I understand his story.
And because I understand the story and what he came from and what he overcame to become who he is today, I respect that.
You know what I'm saying?
I respect.
And I'm not saying that Dave Chappelle didn't have a story or nothing like that.
But Kevin's story.
So I'm probably going to hear this.
Yeah, I know.
Kevin's story.
Definitely resonated with me.
Did we fuck up?
No, we good.
We good.
Dave gonna be like, that's that niggas opinion, man.
Well, you know, we've talked about Kevin Hart.
We've talked about Dave Chappelle and their stories,
but how about Brooke's story and how you've came up
and how you've had to face adversity
through a lot of the challenges you may have to face.
Yeah, man, I came a long way, man.
Like, you know, when I think about it,
And I thought about this other day and it struck me that if I wasn't doing comedy,
I don't know who I would be.
You know what I'm saying?
Where would I be?
Scary, isn't it?
You know, it's scary.
It's scary.
When you said it's scary, man, if you think about it like, damn, like, what would I, you know,
where would I be?
What would I be doing?
And I see, you know, you date different women and you hear about a lot of the guys that
they didn't date it and you just hear, you see something and shit these dudes be
out here doing.
And you'd be like, damn, like, I was a decision.
away from probably being like him.
I ain't going to lie to you.
I said in my first soft white under belly.
I'll keep a brief.
Sending my first soft white under belly.
I don't want to think about what I wouldn't have been.
All I can think about is what I am.
What I am right now.
For real, bro.
And I do sometimes think about I catch, you know, glimpses of it where I'm like, damn,
it is kind of scary to know, like, because the unknown is always scary.
You think about shit.
You got a roll with it.
You got a road.
Be a mountain mover.
Be a mountain mover.
You hear now.
You hear you hear now
And so, you know
Like I said, I had that thought
And, bro, you know, I just think about it, man
I grew up, came from the west side of Chicago
My parents
You know, still together
38 years, still together
We grew up in the-
Just go to taste buds
Yeah
I just go to taste buds
You fuck, taste buds
On Madison
Man, my,
My best friend
Family owns taste buds
Taste buds fire
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
You get the Kool-A
You get the Kool-A?
Yeah
Yeah
He's going to do one that, man, years ago, man.
That's what's up.
Yeah, man, West Side Chicago, man.
Yeah.
Shout up, me, rest of peace, man, King Bean, man.
All them dudes down there for real.
I grew up.
I grew up in Humboldt Park.
So, growing up over there, you know, that was a Hispanic community.
A lot of Latin Kings and stuff over there, Hispanic.
That's where I grew up at.
How was that for you?
Damn.
Man, you know.
It was blacks over there.
They thought you was Puerto Rico.
They probably did.
You probably played that shit off a couple times.
I dated.
I dated.
I date him.
He comes to their neighborhood.
He's trying to walk from school.
Like, man, hey, man, hey, hey, puppy, baby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.
Bobby, Bobby.
Cheer, Bobby.
I'm telling me, my books.
My books.
Man, my, my dad was so plugged, man.
Nobody ever.
They didn't bother us, man.
Because they knew who my dad was.
But, you know, growing up over there, my parents, you know, they was just always helpful.
So, you know, me growing up, I was the middle child.
And, you know, I had cousins my age.
They would let them come live with us.
I had a nephew my age that came to live with us.
So everything that I had growing up, I had to share my clothes, my game, my room, like, everything that I had, like, I had to share.
And I felt like as a child, and I never asked for nothing.
I never complained about it.
It was just, that was just my life.
And I had an older brother.
I had a younger sister.
And because they were the older, she was the youngest, they still kind of got, you know, they kind of got their special.
you know, treatment towards them.
Whereas, you know, I was just the one like, you know, I was just there.
And it wasn't that I felt less loved or nothing like that.
It was just much more like I just grew up sharing.
Like I grew up having to share everything.
And then, you know, from there, I thought I was going to play football.
That, you know, that was short-lived.
I called a case when I was a senior in high school.
They kicked me off the football team.
Then after that, it was like, all right, what I'm going to do?
I started promoting parties.
I was a party promoter.
Janky promoter.
Wasn't making no money.
You know what I'm saying?
You weren't making no money.
I mean, I had a few.
Man, listen.
I wasn't making shit.
Man, we had a few.
We had a few.
We had a few events that popped off.
That was like really like some legendary events, some legendary parties.
But outside of that, we had a lot of, you know, a lot of 30 people, you know, 20 people showed up.
We had a lot of that.
So, and I went from next.
and I was about to be a cop.
Whoa.
Yeah.
What's the doge on that?
Never had a man ever sit here and then get that to me.
I know we didn't dug deep.
Hold on, church.
Take the sign out of here.
We don't need it.
We dig it too deep, man.
Fuck.
What's the hell going on?
Man, what you mean?
You was about to be a cop.
Look, but this is the point that I'm, like, I'm going to get to.
So I went to college.
Now, I went to one of those college, like, you know, one of, like, Everest.
Like I went to a college like that.
It was called Westwood College.
Yeah.
And we, you know, I studied criminal justice there.
I got my degree.
But by this time, I had already called two cases by this time.
I had a, they both were misdemeanors, but, you know, I had called two cases.
So anything me trying to get into criminal law enforcement was going to be tough.
So at this point, I'm just trying to do something because I need to figure out what I'm about to do with my life.
And now I got to do it on the way it to do.
point. So I was about to be a Chicago police officer. I went and took the test, polygraph,
test, drug test, all of that. You know you ain't want to be that. I didn't. But finish the story,
and I'm going to tell you why. It just came out. Listen, you say, you know, you ain't want to be that.
You ain't want to be. Not Chicago. No, I didn't. I didn't. But, you know, it was like,
to me, I was looking at it like, this a way out. Like, I'm going to make some good money.
There's a way out, all right. I'm going to have some difference. There's a way out, all right.
But you know what? That's all I'm going to say. The benefit, I would have got the benefits.
I would have got all the benefits,
and my daughter would have been straight.
And at that point, that's all I cared about.
So I was willing to sacrifice what I wanted to do with my life
to make sure that she lived a comfortable lifestyle.
So I went through the whole process,
and then I just stopped hearing from CPD.
Like they never set the email to let me know
when I was supposed to go to the academy, none of that.
Fast forward.
I started going viral.
I started going viral.
And then they reached back out.
They was like, hey, you know,
we want to bring you in.
they sent me an email the offer for like for like 85,000
me to go to police academy.
At that time, I wasn't even,
I was collecting unemployment.
I had got fired for my security job.
I was collecting unemployment and I was doing comedy.
Oh, you shut and did nothing in the booth.
In the booth, yeah.
I was a supervisor though, so I had to do payroll and stuff.
You know, I had to do little stuff.
I had to do administrative stuff.
But, yeah, and listen, I'm going to tell you something.
Bro, if you look at it, and I'm going to tell you,
you probably can do this.
If you go back and look at your life
and you look at everything that you did,
it's tied into what you are today.
Because me doing security,
because I didn't do nothing all day,
it made it easy for me to go home
and do Mr. James videos
when I got off of work.
I was at work not doing nothing.
Right now videos all day.
All had its purpose.
Now, think about if I was working at Amazon,
moving boxes all day,
I ain't got time to think about
about no video
what I'm going to do when I leave here.
So that set me up to sit down
and really think about what it is you're going to do.
Okay, I'm doing this comedy stuff.
I ain't doing nothing at work.
I'm writing these skits out, and I'm going home and I'm doing them.
So I got fired because I had started going viral.
They had seen the Mr. James videos, and I had deal one at the job,
and they was like, look, you either going to focus on this
or you're going to do your comedy thing.
And the guy told me, man, I swear to God I wish I could see this guy.
He was like, you know, you're making good money here.
He was like, you don't really think you're going to blow up doing comedy, do you?
To my face.
I wish I could see him.
He probably is a fan of a sharp-take-note jumper.
And if you see this,
does this camera, what R. Kelly say, is this camera on me?
Look at me now, bitch.
Hey, what did you think about that?
I got to ask you, speaking of R. Kelly,
us being black, man.
Because I'm curious to know your fucking insight to this one.
Oh, God.
What did you think about Sukiana
and Young Miami saying that they like to be peed on?
Versus with R. Kelly being, I mean,
I'm sure they want to say he's in there for more,
but it sounds like when he's,
his fetishes was he liked to be on bitch.
Yeah, yeah.
Man, listen.
It fucked me up, man, because young Miami,
oh, that bitch so bad to me, man.
Beautiful woman.
Man.
What did you think about that, man?
You know, I don't know, man.
I don't know why they want to do that.
I don't know.
I don't know why they want to do.
You piss on bitches?
Or Kelly do.
Listen.
I had a chick asking to do it before, and I was like, no, I ain't doing that.
Like, I ain't doing that because I just, you just don't want to be known as the next dude that's been out here.
Peeing on her.
Well, I say this.
You ain't never peed on a bitch?
I ain't never did it before.
Hey.
It's like that.
It's like you.
I had a conversation with somebody the other day, all jokes and saw.
I had a conversation with somebody.
Hold on, no, no, no, no.
Wait, hold on.
Nick, you know.
You know.
You know.
Did you be on the bitch?
Did you be on the bitch or not?
Man, I plead the fifth.
My name Benet, I probably wasn't up in it.
I don't know, Church.
It's out of my body.
Like, my nigga Kevin Gates said, I was out of my body.
All right, go here.
No, but we had the conversation the other day about the situation of,
that's crazy.
Hey, and you know.
Oh, my.
You a wild boy.
You a wild boy, man.
Don't knock it to you, try.
All right.
I feel like you got to do everything once.
At least.
Take long, steamy sideways, piss.
He don't know if he did it or not.
I wasn't even there.
I was out of my body.
Yeah, out of body.
I wasn't there?
But all jokes aside, the only reason I brought it up,
and this has been funny.
Yeah, all right.
Ha-ha, Mikey.
He's down here.
No, no child.
She's laughing.
She's laughing.
She's laughing.
All right.
So, you know, all jokes aside, man, when you look at it, man, like they try to put
these type of allegations on certain people, like, you know, R. Kelly, you know, I'm saying?
Peeing on bitches.
But you got chicks that are as beautiful as young Miami, you know what I'm saying?
And Sukeana, uh, uh, Sukeana is just her.
You know what I'm saying, how she is.
Yeah.
These girls admitted to like, they like being peed on.
peed on, you know what I'm saying?
And I heard somebody say, well,
how old were they when they did?
Man, you never know if they liked it from young.
You don't know what chicks were on, man.
You just, you can't sit there and try to like pinpoint that as.
Or like, oh, he likes to.
He introduced them to that.
He introduced them no, man, because you got badass chicks and they made it through the rap
game or they have careers that are admitting that they like that.
Being pied on.
Like, they like being pied on.
So you cannot sit there and.
try to knock.
Let me ask you this, though.
Talk to me.
Let me ask you this, though.
Because a lot of people don't talk about this, though.
Come on.
Is it a crime to pee on the bitch?
No.
So you shouldn't...
You can't show me a law that says...
It's not a law.
I love making content.
And if a bitch, if she asks for it...
Straight up.
Now, peeing on a bitch without...
Her consent is different.
But if she asks for you to pee on her
Dashton, you ain't broke no law
I look at it like this
You know
Bitch can say she don't like to get peed on
Right
But bitch what if you squirt on him
Is he supposed to feel the same way?
That's pee too
Should he feel the same way?
I'm just saying
Should he not want to fuck with you anymore?
You know what though?
I like the B squirrels right
I like that
You don't like that
Feel like you did your job
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
That shit coming up out of there?
So why the bitch feel bad when she might get a little bit of fizz?
That's because that ain't got nothing to do it.
That ain't got nothing to do her job.
Nigger, you just didn't go pee before you came in a room.
You just had to go piss.
You had to go pee and stay right there.
I didn't have to interview already.
I'm fucking a shit of you, bro.
You try to make it like it was the same.
No, I ain't the same.
You had to go pee.
I just trying to, bro.
I'm just trying to look at it, right?
Because I'm like, damn, okay.
Bitch can say like, you know, I ain't like the nigga, like, I ain't like I'm really pissing on me.
Right.
But bitch, you squirted and pissed on him.
Can he feel the same way?
At this point, if that's not what he likes,
bitch, you better hold your pee just like you telling him that niggins to all this piss.
A lot of them don't tell you that it's about to come out.
So, bitch, is he supposed to tell you?
I mean, not telling her, though, is wild.
Just standing up.
That is wild.
Just standing up and she's laying there and you just started pissing.
What did you can't make it to the bathroom?
Pissing on her is still.
Wow.
You could have pissed anyway.
Pissing on her.
Like, now you're doing it because that's what you're going to do.
You got to ask.
If you ask and she say, listen, I hear the chick say, like, she wanted to get in the shower
and she wanted me to pee on her.
And the only reason why I didn't do it is I didn't have to pee.
You know what?
You know what I think a lot of chicks say, that's fucking hilarious.
by the way, that you would have done it,
but you didn't do it because you didn't have...
I didn't have this.
But there's some chicks that I'm going to be honest with you,
like in a sex setting,
and you see it everywhere.
Like, they like to be degraded in a way, in a good way.
Yeah.
I hope that makes any sense.
Like, you feel...
Because you know what it is.
People like doing stuff that you know you're not supposed to do.
And I said this in interview earlier with a young lady.
I'm like, that's what makes it.
it taboo. You know what I'm saying? That's what they like
about it. They know it's wrong, so they
do it. So they do it. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. So can we really blame R. Kelly
in the sense here, homie? Let that man go.
I feel like that man, bro. I feel like this, man.
I don't, I don't think
I don't, I don't
really... You're Chicago native, right? I am. I don't
believe that... No, R. Kelly's Chicago.
Yes. I don't believe that... I don't think that he did everything
that they said he did.
And I don't, like I said, a lot of stuff that they was
deeming as crimes, like...
Him telling them that, you know, they had to look down and not look at other men.
That's not a crime.
Look how they did a godfather of comic, of, you know, just being a comic and true in his prime and his reigns.
Bill Cosby.
Come on, bro.
Like, we got to look at things like this.
Yeah, I know it's different because R. Kelly is R.B.
Yeah, he's R&B.
Was set to be an opera singer but got into R&B.
And then you have Bill Cosby, a comedian, America's.
dad.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody watched him.
If you had anything, like, I get it's different today.
But when you was coming up, man, like Bill Cosby and them was everything.
Was everything.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I know.
I used to watch a Cosby show.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, the thing, the only thing with Kells is this.
And I feel like we have to say that we do have to acknowledge this.
It was some underage activity going on.
Which wasn't right.
Which wasn't that.
That was wrong.
But what made it even more horrible and why I say let him out?
and this is, is the parents knew about it.
They knew about it, yeah.
So if he's going to be locked up, let's lock the parents up too.
Yeah, they knew about it.
Their asses should be in jail right along with them.
That's all I'm saying.
My thing is, is this, bro.
Money's a motherfucker.
And we can go to the later parents.
Let's go to the parents that was on the documentaries.
Yeah.
Bro, we all heard what Kells had did back in the day.
Talk that shit.
We all heard about it.
What happened?
I'm a first.
I'm a father, bro.
I got a six-year-old daughter, bro.
My daughter just asked you want to be a singer.
If my daughter would have came to me and said,
Pops or Kelly want to help me take my music career to the next level,
I would have told her, we good.
We good.
If I cannot be there every step of the way,
if I can't be there, then you're not going.
How y'all was letting these kids just go off and be with them by itself
because the music career, man, that's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
heard what happened. You heard what happened.
Fuck that he was acquitted. We all knew
that when he got acquitted that he had just got
he got lucky. He had got lucky. We knew that.
If anybody seen that tape, did you see the tape?
I saw some of it. I saw the tape. We all knew that was him.
We all knew that was him. We all knew that was him.
Dave Chappelle did a whole skit on the piss on you.
If Dave Chappelle was it, which was on the Chappelle show. That's real.
That's real as fuck. So you had all
that stuff going on. Like, we all
knew, like that's what it was.
So there's no way my daughter
would have been able to come to me and say
that I'm about to go to R. Kelly's studio.
He's about to help me take my music career
to the next. No, hell no.
No.
Fuck no.
I think your fans are going to love to see you
like in this bowl, like I'm just talking about
your shit and your output
to this, man.
Because I looked at it the same way.
That's the only reason I say
R. Kelly should be let out
is because the parents knew.
They never knew, okay, cool.
Yeah, things happened the way they were supposed to happen.
But these people knew about it.
They knew about it.
And if they knew about it, I feel like they're just as guilty as him.
Because what happened is like, as soon as, oh, our Kelly broke.
You know what I'm saying?
Can't pay no more.
I'm just trying to figure out how y'all charge him with racketeering?
How did y'all charge the man with racketeering?
They think that's what they think.
racketeering is
that's crazy
I felt like you know here's a thing
if y'all gonna charge him with having sex
with underage girls I'm cool with that
charging with that
racketeering y'all gonna charge him like
he and a mob you know like he had
some type of real
they tried to make a saying like this shit was
strategically stitched set up
and I don't think it was like that I think
he was just seeing girls that he's like hey tell her to come here
look at Alia
why people like forgetting about that
her parents niggas signed consent for him
And they knew she was in, and these parents that let their kids go with them.
They knew he was married to a lawyer.
She was 15, 14.
They knew that.
They knew that.
So here's my thing.
You can't say you didn't know that shit was on the news.
You know what I'm saying?
I knew about it.
And the parents older than me, I knew about it.
So my thing, like I said, the parents, for people to sit up and be like,
oh, well, you got to understand it was R. Kelly.
That's exactly the point.
or why I wouldn't have allowed my daughter
to go there.
I wouldn't have.
I wouldn't allow to go there.
And if you was worried about your daughter
being rebellious and going by herself,
it was easy to nip that shit in the bud.
Like, hey, Mr. Kelly, hey, this ain't,
this ain't it with my daughter, you know what I'm saying?
If you think you're going to be working
or seeing my daughter, you know what I'm saying, I ain't there,
you know, we'll get the proper, you know,
shit involved, you know what I'm saying,
to let you know that this ain't,
this not going to be one of those.
So I just feel like the parents, you know,
I know one of the parents were like,
oh, I didn't want my daughter to be rebellious,
and she's going to see them, and we don't know.
Okay, so she was going to see them, and you do know.
I just feel like, I'm with you.
I lock everybody up.
Well, yeah, lock everybody up.
But we'll get off that, hey, homie,
I really want to talk about, like, man,
what made you think of the Miss Jackson skit
where you came up, man, in the sniper suit?
I got to know about this because that motherfucker, listen,
for the viewers that don't know,
this motherfucker went viral.
I watch a lot of content on Instagram.
And it's rarely, even Instagram will post people.
And I've rarely, I'm not saying they don't go up,
but I don't see like just a million views.
Yeah.
Or a million likes.
Likes, yeah.
A million likes.
This means, man, I can only imagine what the numbers were
the back view, the back office.
Yeah.
What even made you come up with that, man,
even before you linked up with Jack is funny
and got the car with him about it?
So the gilly suit really came to me.
One day I was just,
so I had already been doing like the ring videos at the door
trying to get my grill back.
Yeah.
And I was like, and I'm one of those people there,
I'm always thinking like, how can I top that
what I just did?
What can I do to top that?
And I was sitting at my mom's house
because I shot that video at my mom's house.
So I'm sitting there,
and I'm looking
and I'm just looking at the trees
as I'm thinking
and I was like damn
I went on Amazon and I typed in
grass suit
you know camo suit and it popped up
and I'm looking at the trees
I'm like man if I'm blending in
and I just pop out out of nowhere
I said
the fucking dialogue
in the video don't even matter at that point
just the fact that I got this fucking
suit.
The fact that I got this suit and I could
just pop out with this bitch on, I say
this gonna be genius. I went right on Amazon.
I ordered this shit.
I mean, I would...
The day...
Bro, the day
that shit came. I'm talking about
I was right over there. And,
man, I mean, after I shot it,
I did it in like maybe one or two
takes. And I
said, when I looked at it, I said,
this is the one. To do it one.
two takes and though you saw it.
I said this the one.
And Snoop,
when Snoop Dogg posted it,
I mean,
I mean,
some of everybody,
D.L. Hughes.
I mean, it was like.
D. O. Hughes.
It was,
yeah.
Yeah.
Now, yeah, now you're speaking.
Yeah.
You're speaking.
Speaking right now.
Hey, real shit.
That's what you know.
When all of them, like, started posting,
I was like,
like, but it was just,
and I'm looking at it.
And what I like most about it was,
it was something that had,
never been done before.
It was something that the internet
had never seen before.
It was innovative.
Like, people ask me all the time,
man, where do you get that?
Where do you get that suit?
They don't even know where to get the suit from.
They wouldn't even know where to get the suit from.
I got the shit off Amazon, man.
Shout out to Amazon, man.
You can get anything off Amazon,
man, for real.
That's how I came up with that man.
And, yeah, like, I ain't going to lie to you, man.
I was at, when I was at Soldier Field last night, man,
It was all different types of people.
I was worried, listen, I was worried that you wasn't going to come.
I was coming.
Because I went, listen, I texted this nigga this morning, right, Mikey.
I said, hey, man, because he hit me up a few days ago and was like, you still, hey, we're still good.
I said, yeah, we're still good, but I didn't know if Laura sent him the media kid.
So I hit him up this morning and my text didn't go through.
I was on a flame.
I said, what the fuck going on?
I said, I just talked to this nigga, homie.
And I'll go to your Instagram and I see, okay, he was just over there while the draft and everything was going on.
He was on Soldier Field
