No Jumper, coolest podcast on the world.
And today we have a much anticipated and asked for interview.
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
With one of the top funny guys in the world out there right now.
Man, appreciate it, Adam.
Kevin Hart, step aside.
Chris Rock, I ain't trying to hear it.
We got Xavier TV in the building.
Man, what's happening in the show?
How you feeling, man?
I'm all right, man, humble.
It's nice to have you out here.
Appreciate it, man.
Yeah, I mean, you are pretty much the hat king of L.A.
As far as I'm going to show.
This guy's trying to take the title.
I'm the hat king.
Nick,
please don't disrespect me like this.
Don't start this off.
I'll walk off right now.
How do you feel about-
I was watching some of his recent uploads.
And I'm seeing him.
He's with his girl.
And she's sort of like handing them some hats one by one in that plain hats.
And I'm just thinking like AD would never let this happen.
AD's all about the ornamented hats.
I was going to say that man.
I like your,
come on.
He'd be dressing that shit up, though.
He do.
I ain't going to lie.
I'm going to lie.
As customs,
the hat king of L.A.
as the one who sends the issues down who says these are the hats that are popping him he's the hat king
you're gonna have to just accept this for the time of you might be the fancy hat king but he's the one
who's like sort of sending down the orders of these hats are cool these ones aren't cool i feel like
it's just l.a period like i'm just the one you know voicing it in a different way i feel like you know
i'm just you know making it funny you know taking something that's real making it in a funny matter
where people can receive it funny and learn from it
The hat king, I don't know.
That's real education right there.
Do you rock the ornamented hats with the special design, the nine out of 11, etc?
I'm at to see how to get that on.
But I've been working on patches, playing jang hats.
I'm going to get you the customs.
You wake your game up because, like, the hats I wear now, like nobody got.
Yeah, that's why.
When I go outside, you feel me, it is what it is.
Yeah, that's hard.
Even if it's a regular hat, I got like some special pens and they can put on me and shit like that.
So it makes my shit stand out.
The hat game is going to be like shoes in the minute.
Niggis already like that.
I'm telling you.
Hats went from $40, now they're 71.
These like, like, some of the hats I wear, they're like $2.50 apiece, 120, 170 and
shit.
I got up there, you guys.
You used to be able to pull up with a white tee on.
Now you need a $600 Versace polo shirt.
You used to be able to stop by lids.
Now you got to pull up with the mad Lisa Frank designs on your hat and shit.
Nika, he don't know who Lisa Frank is.
I didn't know until last week.
That's old school.
Yeah, that's real.
That's some dinosaur shit.
Definitely.
Okay, tell us a little bit about your coming of age.
Like when you were a kid, where you live.
You said you lived all over L.A., right?
Yeah, it's all over.
I always was with my mom, you know what I'm saying?
Staying with my mom.
We was just moving everywhere.
You know how I'd go.
Single mom, moving different houses.
You don't know, bro.
You know how I've heard things.
You know how I go.
I have two easy CDs in my day.
I heard, you know, these streets is hard.
But yeah, you know, staying with a single mom, you know,
watch.
I'll stay south central.
I'm saying.
That's pretty much it.
Those two spots.
Downtown.
sometimes. But yeah, moving a lot.
Moving a lot. A whole lot.
Yeah. So that's why people are, oh, yeah, you're from.
No, I'm from everywhere.
Like, south central.
But people, when you say that, I'm from everywhere.
Like, I even noticed, like, you're doing the Pressure Pass episode with your friends.
You say, I'm from everywhere.
And they all kind of got to, like, chuckle a little bit.
Because in L.A., it's like, it's all about, like, they want you to be from one place.
And you came up there.
And if you're from multiple places, that's kind of weird.
Like, did you feel sort of weird about that as a kid?
Or is that something you got used to real young?
I never felt, you know, weird about it, you know, just what it was, you know.
And then I went to, like, certain schools I went to, only went to that one school.
So it was like, I didn't go to different others, you know, I went to school here,
then I went to school there, and I went to school there, and I went to school there, and I went to school there, and I went to school there,
graduated from.
So it was like, I ain't really felt.
So it's crazy because elementary school, I went to 74th Street.
That's bad.
You know what I'm saying?
And then, uh, I got to middle school and went to school in 51st in Vermont.
Oh, okay.
Another bad place.
Then in high school, I was on a corner of Crenshaw in that view park.
So I was my daughter go there now.
That's a good school.
Yeah, she go there now.
Good school.
What was your mom like?
Was she trying to really shield you from all the crazy shit in LA or?
All that.
She was like super women, man.
She, you know, she, but she comes from that.
She don't gang bang and then, but my family do.
So she see how I was.
She's seen, you know, the ups and downs of it.
You know, it's some ups, you know, some ups people want to, you know,
I want to gang bang, it's the cars, the women,
but they don't see what go into that, you know.
So she showed me the ups and downs like, like, nah, you know.
It looked good, but it's only two ways it's going to happen.
You know what I'm saying?
Jail or, you know, everybody knows the other one.
Deaf.
But you resisted the temptations of, like, getting rid of the streets?
I mean, I always wanted to hoop.
So it was like, I wasn't really thinking about, you know, gangbagging like that.
But me hooping, I'm going to the parks of hoop, and it's just gang banking is just there.
Like, it's nothing you're going to run away from.
You feel me?
It's either you going to find a way to get out of it or just make it through without, you know, getting into it with them.
You know, just figuring out a way to get out, really.
But would you somebody who was always, like, really.
But were you somebody who was always like really fascinated by it,
even though you didn't necessarily want to get involved with all the bullshit?
It was crazy.
It wasn't that I was fascinated by it.
It's just something that was always, like I said, it's just,
I should just be there.
And then I'm like, damn, that's something.
You know, let me, let me, I want a gang bang.
That shit cool.
Because I knew it wasn't cool, but it's just like, it's just there.
I got to figure out a way that, you know, that's why when it comes to, like, my videos,
I'm like, you know, I feel like people need it.
Like, you know, laugh about it.
it, you know, but also educate because people don't know.
You know, a lot of people really don't know.
So it's like, let me go ahead and make a way of what I know and put it into a form
where people can receive it and learn from it.
So, you know, but that's pretty much how I go about it, for real.
Definitely.
Okay, but so throughout your time in high school, you were, like, not thinking about this.
You were focused on basketball and stuff?
Yeah, I was focused on basketball, like trying to hoop.
Right.
Strictly, just trying to hoop.
You try to play basketball in college and shit, too?
This is exactly how I happened.
So from elementary school to high school,
I was a hoper for a long.
Like I'm trying to go to the league.
I'm trying to go D1.
I wanna, you know, every kid,
I'm trying to go D1.
Got to high school and then work out,
coach was on some, you know, weird shit.
But-
You blame it on the coach or was it related to your own
discipline?
You went over 30?
Hey, man, I went off from that.
That's exactly how I go, man.
And my teammates and everybody know, man,
hey, I shoot the ball, I'll make the shot one for one.
Here, take me up.
Really?
out the game. Why? You're shooting from half court, like beginning of the game, doing some
crazy. Wide open in the corner. Wide open in the corner for the corner spot. Wide open. Money.
Do the basketball coaches in high school just get like crazy ego complexes where they
want to control all these kids? I want to make them do exactly as I say. I feel like it is.
But it's like, dang, you can mess up a lot of people dreams, you know? Because it was a point,
man, that was one of the depressive times in my life. Right. It's like, man, I want a hoop.
And it's like, I'm not going league. I'm not going D. One way else I'm going to
Right.
That's where I find what I do now.
So it was like, damn.
Bless on the skies, though.
Yeah, it is, because I feel like if I wanted to go to the league, even if I went to college.
It is what it is.
Some people got it, some people don't.
That's the crazy thing about, like, kids who grow up wanting to be a basketball player,
a football player, et cetera, is that you have, you know, tens, hundreds of thousands
of young Americans who want to do that, and then slowly over time, their dreams just sort
of get squashed and destroyed.
And then even if you make it to the NBA, you might play for a year or two, you know, etc.
And then it's tiny percentage to get to, you know, you know, it's a tiny percentage
get to have a 10-year career and make a shitload of money.
That's true.
But I always told myself, you know, I was always being the realest since he, like, after high
school, I'm like, man, look, I don't want to be another nigga in the gym who was cold
and broke.
You know, I can't be a nigga who can't his asshole.
He could have been.
He could have went here, but he in the gym with no money.
So it's like, man, you know, I got to figure it out early.
Like, I'm in high school, like, every day, like, what I'm a do?
Because I know I can't do no 9 to 5.
I know how the street's going to go.
I'm like, dang, I got to figure out some because I want to retire mom.
So it's like, I gotta figure it out, man.
So that's when I started doing this funny video.
Did you ever have nine to fives before that, like throughout high school and shit?
I used to sweep hair at my dad barbershop, but that was like on the weekends when I was in like elementary school or middle school a little bit.
It was like every now and again, but like I only had one job.
It was part-time at UPS and I quit.
Yeah, I quit like the first month.
Why?
Wanted to do YouTube and Instagram.
Literally.
And I only had like 1,000 followers, bro.
Like I just seen it early.
I'm like, man, I was going to work every day.
was driver helper a lot of my homies like man that's easy like in the car but it's like I was working
on Wilshire and Beverly Hills or like near O'Dale okay so I'm seeing my favorite car every day I'm
like man I'm seeing these beautiful cars like I can't be in a man I got to do something yeah I got to do
some of myself like I'm seeing this every day new whips new people just what I'm like yeah
I got to handle it a lot people never really even get exposed to that shit even though it is like
10 20 miles away from where you might have grown up that's true that's true you'll be you'll be
fascinated by how many people, never been to Rodale, nothing.
You know, it's just crazy, but just seeing that every day, I'm like, man, now I got to quit.
I got to go and chase this dream because I'm young.
You can quit 17, 18, and go ahead and go at it.
You won't look as bad.
It's still embarrassing, but you got to go at it.
Like, that's one thing, too.
You know, it's, you know, Mazzie once said this before.
I'll never forget it.
He said some cold.
He said, you got to deal with the embarrassment of trying to beat a shit, you know, while, like, of being nothing while trying to become.
something like that shit embarrassing yeah and a lot of people if they see you trying to be better than
you are right now that almost makes them feel like oh he he's bougie like he got his head up his
ass people like you in a lot of ways like you know people like you when you're just trying to
stay where you're at and when you try to better yourself i remember when i used to like be with the
homies and long meets and stuff and i would say no i don't want to i'm not going out tonight i'm
going to stay in the crib and just work and do some research and shit oh man the people that are not
planning on elevating to another level, they'll be looking at you like, oh, you're not going to
come out and get drunk with us, et cetera. That's one of the biggest things you have to get
past in life to be a success. Bro, shout out to Top Dog, too, because I remember, bro, yeah,
Top Dog, gave me some of the best advice ever, young, you know what I mean? I had a job.
I had a baby. I think I was 19. I had my daughter. I was working a regular job, and, you know,
I was around him earlier and all the Top Dog guys and stuff. And he was like, oh, yeah, you got
talent and shit like that and I was telling him I was like man listen I quit my job right now I'm
willing to do it and this is early before they became who they became I'm like man listen I quit my
job I do all type of stuff like that and then he at the time I didn't understand it and later I did
he was like listen don't quit no steady money that you got right now you know what I'm saying and I'm
like in my head I'm like how am I supposed to stick with this schedule doing this shit
it but that later on help me and shit like that and made me stay on the grind and you know
Don't make impulsive decisions based off of, you know what I'm saying, right now and stuff too.
That's one leap of faith I took though because, man, I wouldn't, well, I was broke as hell, man.
I wouldn't make it no money, bro.
Like for that whole, it was top of 2019, I quit my job.
I ain't had nothing.
I had no money.
That's recent, too.
So it was like, it's recent because I just started getting like hot recently, you know what I'm saying?
Like, top of 2019, my mom was like, look, you got one year to do something.
One year, I'm gonna give you one year to go ahead and go at it every day.
Like, do what you gotta do.
But at the end of that year, if you don't do what you gotta do,
it's, you gotta go, go get a job, go, I was gonna be a bar,
I'm like shit, they can at least choose their schedule or something.
You ain't gotta really like, you could, you know,
any kind of way to be an entrepreneur, like the closest to that I was trying to be,
you know what I'm saying, where I could, you know, when I tell you man,
what, what day, it was December 2019, that video went viral.
So that whole year I was putting out content every day, three a day.
That was my, like, you know, you know my little formula.
If I put three a day, they gonna see me three times a day.
You were focused on Instagram at the time?
YouTube and Instagram, okay.
You know, on Instagram, I'm like, look, my whole plan is this and still is this.
You know, look, let me go ahead and build some type of, you know, resume somewhere.
Let me go crazy somewhere to build my YouTube content up, you know what I'm saying?
Because I always want to be a YouTuber.
So I'm like, all right, let me go ahead and make these funny skits on Instagram.
You know, I'll see people that's catching some heat.
So I was doing that every day, just trying to go crazy.
Like, boom, let me get one.
Let me get one to go viral.
Man, it was the last one for 2019.
I went viral.
Right.
That last month I went viral.
Everything else didn't do nothing.
That one video I did went crazy.
Because I seen the struggle as I was going through your videos
and as I kept going back further and further and further,
I'm like, oh, okay, 400 views.
Like, this is the period before the shit started cracking up.
I be telling people, like, it comes with consistency.
Like, you got to be on it.
Like, you got to really want it because you ain't going to see no type of,
you ain't going to read no fruits of your labor in two weeks.
Like, or in a month.
It's very rare.
And I'd rather my growth be organic.
Even a year, bro.
Even a year.
Couple years.
Yeah, you know, you'd rather your growth be organic.
Like, look at Blass for us.
Shout out to Blass.
Blass is dope.
You got to think about it.
He's been doing music.
You know, producing.
I tell the niggas that all the time.
The nigga been doing music, bro,
since the early 2010.
Beano too.
Been doing music for a minute.
And you see their growth is organic now.
They don't got to, like, if they stop for a little bit,
people are still going to be waiting.
A lot of artists can't just wait two months.
And then people like, where the next track out?
Where the next, you know, album, whatever.
That shit inspires the fuck I mean.
the time that I'll be interviewing somebody and I'll realize like, oh shit, like I've only
known about you for a couple of months, but you've been grinding for like eight years before
you and you are only here right now because you didn't give up. And like 99% of the people
you probably started rapping with right now are not thinking about rapping at all. That's
kind of amazing, that's true. That's how I go with even with what I do. Like I was vlogging in
2017 and my junior senior senior year. I was still picking it up, you know, picking up the camera
now and then people's laughing at me high school. Like, look crazy, bro. Like, like, you're
What is you doing?
Like, you know, what are you doing?
You know, and I'm like, I don't care.
I'm a dude.
Like, I remember the teacher told me, he was like,
I'm like, yeah, I want to be a millionaire one day.
This nigga told me, oh, I'm a teacher.
I'm barely halfway there.
That's crazy.
As a teacher, he don't want you to be better than him.
I said, well, I'm like, wait, what?
I said, that's because you're, you know, not, you know, not to know teachers.
I don't like, you know, making people feel, you know.
Fuck that nigga.
But, like, you know, I'm talking about, nah, forget, bro.
I'm talking about, like, teachers, period.
You know, teachers say, you know, appreciate the good teachers, but teachers like that,
I hate it.
I'm against people who knocking somebody down with whatever they're trying to do.
They put their own insecurity.
Yeah, like, how are you going to tell me because, oh, I'm a teacher.
I'm not even halfway there that I can't make a million dollars.
If you're a teacher, it's not your job to, like, moderate a kid's dreams, you know?
Let them dream big, even if they ain't going to necessarily make it where they want to go.
Like, the last thing you should be doing is telling them not, you're not going to be that.
Yeah, where you know, we need to tell somebody what they're not going to do.
You never know what somebody gonna be.
That's why I don't knock nobody in what they do.
Like, if you're trying to do something, do it.
Do it, man, don't ever stop.
Because trust me, the same way I could be like, man, you suck, man.
Millions of other people would think it's brilliant.
So, man, Keith, that's why I'm like, I teach you this some weird.
I've seen that shit happen a million times too.
Yeah, like crazy.
Were you inspired by like more traditional comedians or TV show type people doing skits and doing TV stuff?
Or were you actually inspired by people you saw on Instagram and YouTube?
What's crazy about it is like my favorite like comedian is like Martin Lawrence.
I love Martin Lawrence.
Like Martin Lawrence.
You're a young guy to be appreciating him.
Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac.
Bernie Mac was so.
They're funny.
Like they got that natural organic, you know, they ain't even got to do too much.
They just say something.
They make you laugh.
And this is one creator of Kevin Edwards Jr.
I don't know if y'all know who he is back in the day.
He was a Bakersfield creator.
He was dope.
He was doing skits.
He'd do YouTube videos.
I was watching him when I was in like high school.
I'm just like, dang bro's dope.
Like, he's hard.
He's, he's going crazy, you know.
So it's a lot of people I look at, I be like, man, they're hard.
But it's like, I always want to be a YouTuber.
So it was like that, like the skits and stuff just fell on it.
Like, just fell on me because I was doing it to build up YouTube or, you know,
whatever I want to do.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, that's pretty much how I go.
Like, I look up until I watch Martin, you know, Bernie Mac, those type of guys.
And, you know, but YouTube and, like, that's really where I be at.
It is crazy.
All the time.
You're talking about even a couple years ago when you were in school and shit.
And at that time, did you feel like you were looking at YouTubers and looking at the
people who were doing all this kind of content?
But there wasn't necessarily that many people who were doing that shit that people your age
in high school in LA that they related to.
Like they saw it as some other shit that they didn't really get.
Like it was kids in my, you know, in my school, my age, just was watching YouTube,
but it was really like kind of like corny to them.
It was like, it's cool.
Like, yeah, you know, the YouTube content is dope.
But it's like some of the stuff that they do it don't kind of like, it's like, damn, you doing that for some views or, you know, it's like, it'll coincide with the, yeah.
It's like, yeah, it's like, what you're doing.
And most of the people they could probably look at are like white, rich, not coming from a struggle, not, you know, it's just they're in a different world, you know.
You got some of these YouTubers who come to LA and they're like, oh, LA, that's not LA, bro.
And that's my thing I want to say on the show, too, like, living in Hollywood or like somewhere out Hamburg, no, knock to no places.
but it's like, oh,
L.A. fake, they boozy.
L.A. ain't boozy.
That's a very specific part of L.A.
Everybody sucks that.
Don't hit, don't go past the 110 freeway.
That's what I'm saying.
Niggas always say that shit.
And it'd be like, damn, like, you know,
I want to take that towards, like,
as far as YouTube, like, man, you know what?
Let me set a standard.
Like, L.A., as far as whatever,
is never corny.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, never corny,
never fake boozy,
most realest people you can know.
And it's like, they only say that
because they see it.
people that's not really from the city come out here and move here for a certain time.
And they're putting a bad image on the L.A.
You know what I'm saying?
But the L.A.
they're talking about is not South Central.
Bro, that's just stupidest.
I tell people that all the time.
Everybody goes to Hollywood and they meet motherfuckers that are not from here.
And they say, well, L.A. is weird.
LA people.
I'm like, my name.
Everybody's fake.
Come past the 110 freeway and see how fake and real shit.
I mean, how fake shit is and we'll show you.
Hollywood is a place where people move to make it.
To be in show business.
You know, it's like that's very different than the trenches where people actually grew up here.
If you go there, you're going to meet some of the realest people that you ever met.
Come to Central Laundra, nigga.
Man, some of the realest people, for real.
Like, you're going to meet some of the genuine.
We're genuine.
Like, for real.
Like, it's nothing fake about it.
Nothing fake about it.
And it's just be like, man, I just wish, you know, well, one day I am going to get to a point where it's like, okay, they can really see the real.
You know what I'm like, now, they're some real genuine people, you know.
But it's like.
At what point did you really?
realize like, oh, the shit that people are really going to gravitate towards is me talking
about what the streets of LA are really all about.
Like, when did that start to click?
That first video.
I'm like, man, I've been putting out so much content for so long, like, just trying to figure
myself out with them whatever I'm doing.
And it's just like, them learning about LA is just so, like, they love it.
People love it.
Because it's like, LA is just, they're just so infatuated by the city.
Like, they just love the city so much.
And it's like, man, when you talk about it and then you give it, you, you, you
giving it to them where they can, you know, learn and laugh and enjoy it and enjoy it,
it's just like it's a good combination.
I feel like that's why it goes a long way.
I'm like, when I figured that out, I'm like, all right, yeah, okay, let me go ahead
and figure out different ways I could, you know, present this in, you know, different ways.
That's why I do the hats, do the little characters or whatever, you know, just different
stuff to kind of spice it up a little bit while also keeping in L.A.
You know, you don't want to water it down too much, you know, where people from L.A.,
like, nah, that ain't us, bro.
Like, I don't know what he's talking about.
So that is not connect.
Is that ever a concern though that you're going to basically kind of like stereotype
a certain area and say, don't wear this hat because these dudes are fucking crazy and
then certain people would be like, yo, bro, we don't appreciate.
Like, are you conscious of that, a thing like that?
I just, I mean, I know what line I'm to cross.
Because, you know, I don't, that's not my life.
Like, I don't gang bang, you know what I'm saying.
So the only thing I could do is tell you what I know.
And, you know, tell you what I, you know, I got cousins from everywhere.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, you know, just don't cross a certain line.
You know, everybody know that line across.
You don't cross, even as a creator.
You know, you don't get into politics that you ain't supposed to be in.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like the videos that I make and, like, I just keep it, you know, straight hats and keep it the how it's supposed to be.
And I feel like everybody, you know, I haven't had no problems from it.
Like, I haven't received no problem.
I know you got mad love because I'm watching your random blogs and there's like 40-year-old ladies being like, oh, that's the dude with the hats.
Yeah, literally, literally.
Nah, I got a story.
I swear I was in the Fox Hills Mall, man.
I was in the Fox Hills, I was, I think it was just me, and my girl or my mom.
It was one, it was, I had either my mom or my girl with me.
Man, I'm walking.
I'm walking up the, everybody, you walk in the Fox Hills, Macy's, you turn the right,
make that left up the escalator near the Western name.
You got the Seas Candy that was right there.
I'm walking over there towards like, what's that shoe, that's a shoe spot near there.
Anyway, I'm walking over there.
My nigga, it's like, it's like 12, 9 to 12 grown niggas.
Like, I'm talking about it.
look like they was about it, for real.
Like, ratio high, for sure.
I'm watching them like, okay, yeah, they press rage.
They're looking like they own something.
They're looking to press something.
So I'm like, God damn, what I'm going to do?
I'm like, all right, hold on.
I'm going to just keep walking.
If I walk off, they're going to look suspicious.
It's like, this nigga is like, you know, you're walking toward somebody.
You see a group of them and you're trying to get on.
They own you already now.
Who is this nigga?
Like, why are you running?
Saying, you know, so I'm like, man, hell, no, let me just walk.
Man, they like, ain't that funny car?
That's funny cut.
I'm like, oh, cool.
I'm like, I'm straight in.
They like, ain't that?
Because I'm walking and I can see them looking like.
I'm like, damn, we put my hat back.
So, you know, let me, you know.
They're like, hey, that's funny cut.
I'm like, cool.
I got saved by the bill.
Shaking their hand, boom, boom, boom.
Taking pictures.
It was cool.
Like, you know, it was real love, genuine love.
And even with the bloods, it would happen like that in Vegas.
My cousin was there with me.
I was in the car.
We sitting in the car.
He's staring into the car.
I'm like, who is bro?
Like, that's one thing too.
You never know who know you or whatever.
So it's like you, you know, he looked in the car.
He's like, oh, this is funny.
He's shaking my hand and stuff.
I'm like, oh man, but you know, yeah, like to answer that,
it's like, you know, it's just nothing but love.
I really ain't received nothing crazy.
It's all about the energy you put out there
because I remember even like outcast when they were blowing up
back in the day like 98, 99 that they were talking about like,
yeah, all these other rappers need security and guns and all this shit.
And like we don't really have to deal with that so much because we are like
putting out positivity and nobody's really, you know, we're not talking about street shit,
etc. So we don't have to deal with a lot of that. I feel like, you know, with you, it's like,
you're not out to offend anybody. So why would they? I'm not out to be nothing I'm not trying to be.
Yeah. I don't, I don't, I respect every gang member in every hood because they really do that.
You know what I'm saying? Like you don't ever make it like you just some nigga who you're
not. Like, I'm not no street nigga. I'm not a punk though. You know, that's one thing.
I'm not, I don't portray myself to be no thug. Like, I'm about it. Like if I see what's up,
like, that's not me. That's a character I play.
But I feel like real niggas understanding they know that.
All right, this little niggas, he's trying to come up.
Like, you know, he's fighting his way.
That's all I want to be received as, you know, a real solid individual.
I'm not no tough guy.
I'm not no thug.
None of that.
Not no punk either.
But I'm just, you know, I'm a solid individual.
And I'm not trying to be no troll either, you know.
Play like, you know, everybody know the trolls, you know,
but I don't want to be playing with that.
I don't want no parts in that, man.
That's like talking to your brother about raising his kid and shit.
And, like, you know, that's like the conversation we had is like,
how do you convince, like, a young.
young dude coming up living in Compton, et cetera.
How do you convince them that it's a lot better to just be a cool dude who can fuck with
everybody and respects everybody, et cetera, and doesn't feel the need to try to justify
his manhood through violence?
How do you get the ball rolling of having somebody have that attitude early on?
Because I see that with you where like you've managed to like grow up in the middle
of the shit and then still get love without having to necessarily like define yourself that
way, you know?
You gotta find something you like to do.
He found something that he wanted to stick to.
And, you know, even like bringing my nephew over here,
he wants to get into YouTube, he wants to get into gaming.
So to be a young kid to come see this,
it's like, wow, this is possible.
Like, my dad or my uncle is doing this.
You know what I mean?
And the thing about it, like, that's why I tell you,
like the city real, like real niggas gonna understand that
and they're going back you.
A lot of them going back you.
Like, you know what?
Go ahead and do that.
You know, they'll rather you not.
They'd rather you be yourself than being something that you're not.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I thought about that earlier.
I already knew.
Like, yeah, I got to find some.
You know, like, they love the hood niggas love hoopers.
Streets love hoopers.
Niggers who make music.
If you're good at football, like, you know, people paint this picture.
Like, a lot of people is, the gang members, they don't want you to succeed that shit.
They just, niggas on the block who hate everything.
It's not like that.
Because, I mean, you grew up watching, like, commercials where it's like, oh, you know, you can't walk home from school without somebody making you join the Crips, you know?
It's like that for most people, right?
Yeah, for my, I feel like, but some people, no, some people, it's different.
Like, some people is just, they was born into it.
Like, some people had to, you know, it's just everybody's situation is different, I could
say.
You know what I'm saying, but from what I know is if you want to be somebody, it's like,
they're not fin of, oh, no, he's a weirdo because you want to be somebody.
Especially these days, because, like, honestly, even when we were growing up,
the people that we were looking up to in rappers and stuff, it's like they all kind of had
to put themselves out there as tough.
And I feel like now it's like the number one career when you ask young kids what they
want to be when they grow up, they want to be a YouTuber, an influencer, a TikToker.
And like you, that's why what you're doing is so dope is because you and other people like
watch Homie Kwan, et cetera, have really kind of like opened that up and said like,
you don't have to be putting yourself out there like Mr. Tough Guy all the time.
You can be an entertainer.
You can be somebody who is just having fun on the internet and making people laugh.
And that's by far a totally acceptable option.
I feel like that's the thing, too.
Like, it's the options.
Like, a lot of people don't know you can pick up a camera and make 30, 40,000 a month.
You know, they don't know you can make rapper money if you get up there like that.
You know, you don't really got to, you know, just hoop or play football, you know, or rap even.
You know what I'm saying?
You could pick up a camera and be yourself.
And people will love you the same way they love, you know, these celebrity football players, basketball players and, you know, music artists.
You know?
But yeah.
You ever had anybody actually get pissed at you, though?
Like, have you ever crossed the line and had somebody get upset?
No situation like that.
Nah, that's a good sign.
I've never had nobody like, oh, bro, you're acting like you, you know, you're too hard or you think you know some.
I've never had, I've never ran into no group of people, none of that.
Every group of gang, people who really live this, it's always been, nah, man, I like what you're doing.
You know, I love it.
You know, keep doing your thing.
You know, keep pushing, keep striving.
You know, it's just all love.
I've never ran it to nobody who was just like, nah, I don't like what you're doing.
I think that's because you do the representative part of it.
You don't do like the dissing and, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it's like, you, you, it's, it's, but like, your page and your skits that you make
is like so real and it's like, I ain't never seen nobody like, like, damn, like, when you
really from LA and you see that shit, you're like, damn, this nigga is spot on.
Appreciate it, bro.
I wish you would have bought the PS5 controller, you feel me?
I was thinking about that shit.
I was thinking about it, man.
But yeah, that's all I, that's all I really try to do, like, you know, because when I made
the first video, like, my whole intention was, I didn't know it was going to go viral.
I feel like anybody even, you know, like doing what we do, like even YouTube or whatever,
you never can anticipate a viral video.
It can make it do good.
You're like, oh, it's going to do good.
But like viral, like where it's just crazy, I didn't know it was going to go viral.
I literally just posted a video like I post other ones.
That was a video.
With the three videos a night, I did one in the morning.
I'm like, okay, this one going to be good.
The second one, I'm like, it's going to be dope.
The third one that one that blew up, I'm like, this one.
You know, this is something to put out.
You know, next morning my phone was hot.
I had to turn it off.
Like it just went crazy.
So it was just like, that's the video.
After I've seen it, I'm like, okay, they love,
they love the city, like they love LA.
Like they just love it.
I'm like, you know, and of course it's gonna go far.
I'm from LA, you know.
Everybody that followed me was from LA,
so I'm like, I gotta get in what they love to see.
It was real.
Doing three videos a day is kind of like,
it's easy in a way when you need every last dollar
and when you're really like fighting
to make a name for yourself.
Once you started to get successful,
did it become a little bit more challenging?
Because number one, people have preconceived notions about you.
They want you to make the shit you already made.
And, you know, like, you might get sort of burnt out.
Even if you're broke and you're fighting,
and then all of a sudden you have $10,000 in the bank,
you might be kind of feeling like, well, I don't got to wake up every day and do this.
So maybe you lose focus.
Have you dealt with that?
Like me, it's more so, like, you know, making something dope.
You know, like, I could put out three videos every day if I wanted to.
I could pick up the camera and just,
but I want to give out, you know, put out some dope people going to enjoy to watch.
Because I know I am as a consumer.
of content. I just like dope content. Like, if it's dope, I want to watch it. You know what I'm
saying? Like, you know, but I always want to just keep it, you know, keep it fresh and
don't be so stagnant in one lane, you know. That's why I'm trying to do everything.
Like anything you can think of I'm trying to do. You know what I like about you is that you'll
tell a story that's like basically like you'll get through the whole 15 minute video and you'll
sometimes realize like not that much happened, but you'll explain every part of the story.
You'll be like, so I'm in the parking lot of the Ralph's and the cart guy. He's pushing the
Clark. And you're, like, pointing out all these little things about so that somebody can really, like, understand that environment.
I'm going into detail. But I got that storytelling stuff from Kendrick. Like, I'm a big fan of Kendrick Lamar.
That's funny because I was about to compare you to him as a comedian version of him in a way.
He goes into detail about everything to where you're going to think of body like, man. And if you're from LA and I tell you, I was at the, you know, I was at the Fox Hills Mall, walking to like I there earlier. You're going to picture it because you're from there.
So you're going to see everything I'm talking about.
When you were saying this shit, I swear to God, I was picturing, you going upstairs and seeing
these are big musseling me in my mind.
Nine brawling niggas, you feel me?
Exactly.
That's right, though.
So, you know, really being, you know, paying attention to detail, you know what I'm saying, is
what I love to do, you know what I'm saying?
So that's what I can make, I can make, all we talked about now story time when I get home
and it'll be 30, 40 minutes.
Because I just go into detail, very good, very good at going into detail.
Paying attention to detail.
That's what I like.
That's why I even went to the gestures I do,
I pay attention to everything.
It's funny too because I remember
when I first started making YouTube videos,
sometimes I would just,
I'm like, oh shit,
I got a story from five years ago,
10 years ago where I ended up having to beat somebody up
or I ended up getting into a fight outside of bar or whatever.
Like at first I was kind of using all those stories
to be like, you know, crazy-ass title.
Like I got jumped by 10 dudes.
I didn't actually do that by like, you know,
crazy shit like that.
But at a certain point,
Do you feel like you have kind of exhausted a lot of your best stories in terms of really telling the craziest shit that happened to?
Because now you're older, you're probably moving a little smarter.
You might not be impressed because you're moving around the right way.
That's one thing that I'm going through with my channel as we speak.
They love my story times.
But I don't want to be, I always tell my boys or, you know, anybody that asks me, I don't want to put out no fake, you know, stories.
It's so easy to lie, right?
It's easy.
I could easily sell a good L.A. story.
You know what I'm saying?
I could lie and make up every, you know, I could lie about everything.
I'm saying, but it's like, I'd rather it be genuine and real, you know what I'm saying.
I practice, you know, real, you know, genuine, you know, moves.
I don't want to be one of them content curious.
He'd be like, ah, that nigger lying.
He's faking.
Once you, you know, once you get that on your back, it's like, that's a cold thing to have
on your back, like, fraudulent.
It's like, damn, that's why I'm like, no, I can't do it.
But that is funny because in the real comedy world, you can just lie.
Like, like, when you, when they tell stories and shit, it'll be like a tiny little
seed of a real story and then they'll just start exaggerating that.
But then you talk to him in, like, an interview format, and they'll be like,
that didn't really happen like that.
You know, like, that's acceptable in a way.
It was crazy is with the, like, everybody's like,
man, you should do stand-up.
Or like, man, that's not me.
Like, literally, it's not me.
I'm not be telling people all the time, like, it's not me.
Like, I don't, I've never just, I can't watch stand-up comedy sequence.
I never could watch it.
Like, my boy, I tell you, Bram-Brand right here,
tell you, like, and you don't like watch it.
It's just, I just, I don't know.
It's just not me.
Like, I can't do that.
It's like stand up and try to make a million people live.
Like, I respect the fuck out,
especially because I listened to so many comedians do podcasts over the year.
So I feel like I know what goes into it and how much hard work it is.
And I respect stand-up comedians.
People don't understand.
Like, I actually looked into it.
People like, oh, yeah, I'm like, now that ain't me.
But of course you're going to go look and see, you know, you're going to kind of doing stand-up is tough.
Anybody doing stand-up comedy, I take my hat off to you, bro, because that's tough.
Like, you're working on a project for months, you know, your lines.
You may go in front of all the people and they don't laugh.
So it's like, that's a tough thing to do.
You know, so I'm like, yeah, like, you know, stand up.
If you put out a YouTube video and people don't like it that much, it's like, you know, whatever.
Like, just not that many people click on it.
It's not that devastating.
You're kind of like, oh, back to the drawing board.
It's like, I'm back to the drawing board.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm back to it.
You know, let's go.
I'm going to do this.
They don't fuck with it.
Back to the drawing board.
Like, we're going to keep going back.
Right.
Like, even with, like, I do music, too.
I was noticing on.
You go, I do music.
I'd be having fun with it, too, you know.
But that's something like, I'm like, uh, shout out to my big bro, that nigga, Beano.
I would say him something.
And that nigga be like, nah, this is this nice, bro.
Like, you know, you know, you're going to wake him up soon.
And I'm just like, you know, I'm going to find myself in that, you know,
because I'm not going to put that on nobody.
You know, everybody ain't going to like it, you know, so I'm not the type, man, y'all weird for not.
But I'm going to, you know, something going to be there.
Whoever gravitate to it, gravitate to it.
You know, that's something I'm going to be doing, though, just in case you want to, you know.
But, yeah, I'm not going to force that on nobody because it's thousands of rappers out here.
But, you know, I'm gonna figure it out with that, you know,
but that's something I'm getting into too.
Right.
Hell yeah, YouTube, that building this,
my Instagram page to boost my YouTube.
Once I get that YouTube going, do some music,
start my own label.
I got a lot of, I got a lot of stuff playing.
You know, it's just all, you know, just, you know,
connecting the dots with everything,
so everything could go.
Because I was gonna say, yeah,
what do you see as like the future
that you're sort of trying to draw out here?
Like, I mean, you have like a nice seed
of something going here, a nice bass.
Yeah.
But I know you probably also have all kinds of stuff popping up in your brain
of how you could do things on a bigger level.
Like would you want to do TV?
Would you want to...
I mean, obviously the music thing is great.
It's a great creative outlet.
Yeah, I mean, with me, it's like I do anything that can, you know, take my brand to another level.
You know, Xavier, you know, anything that can help Xavier, you know what I'm saying?
But I'm also do stuff I know, like I love to do.
Because I feel like if you're doing something you don't love to do, you ain't going to really do it.
You know, like maybe movies ain't, you know, for everybody or maybe, you know, being a comedian stand-up.
comedian ain't for everybody. If you don't love it, you're not going to really put your all into it.
But really, like, my, to answer your question is to build a good foundation of people who rock
with me. So whatever I put out they love, because they love Xavier, you know, just put out a good,
you know, just build a good fan basis. That's what you need is numbers. You got the people and
they love you, they don't want to see you in whatever you do. And if you want to, like, get a TV
show these days, your Instagram, if you have like, you know, content on there or your YouTube,
that's basically just like a presentation towards the people who might give you a TV.
show. You know, that's just the way that you sort of show them what skills you have, you know?
Yeah, literally. Like, literally. Everything you put on your Instagram and your YouTube is,
really like an audition take if you want to be an actor, really. Because a lot of actors, you know,
if you start off on Instagram and you, you're showing you can act, they may hit you. I had a lot of
roles throwing it, like, you know, little, certain little, you know, little mini roles that was
thrown at me just from doing Instagram skits. And it's like, that's not even something I was
looking to, you know, you know, do, but it just fall into your hands, you know. So, you know,
You want to act.
Get on Instagram.
It's crazy too, though, because when we have different people who do sort of like, you know,
street comedy type shit on the podcast, a lot of those are like huge numbers.
Like the Long Beach Griffey one that we just did, which his is some of my favorite skits,
you know?
He is fucking hilarious.
His interview went crazy.
Lou Ratchet from Pittsburgh, but he talks about a lot of street shit and everything.
His shit went crazy.
People fucking love that one.
Same thing with seeing you blow up.
I feel like it's really actually kind of like the early days.
of that kind of content.
Like, people want that shit, you know?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, that's why they always tell me, man,
we want to see you in some movies.
I'm like, you know, if this and God's planning to happen, you know.
But, you know, I like to, you know, just focus on what I, you know,
this Instagram, YouTube and, you know, getting them things, you know,
because in the future, them two platforms and TikTok as well, it's going to take over.
You've been going hard on TikTok as well?
Heck yeah.
I blew up even more on TikTok.
How many followers you got on there?
400,000.
Almost half a million.
Nice.
Almost half a million.
Like I literally in one year, I got more followers on TikTok
than YouTube and Instagram combined.
Wow.
So it's like TikTok is a new wave too.
Like get on TikTok.
Whatever you do, man, there's a lot of artists blowing up on TikTok.
They put a song on TikTok and it take them to a whole other level.
How are the comments different on TikTok versus like YouTube and Twitter?
Because it is a different audience, right?
Oh, you think it's the same.
No, not just different platforms.
You write different audiences, but the comments is damn they're the same.
Like, you know, it's just like, you know, they're laughing or they, they commenting of,
you got people from L.A. like, oh, yeah, this is true.
Or people that's from, you know, because some rules that apply to L.A. is everywhere.
You know, some of the cases, you know, gang banking is gang banking.
You know what I'm saying?
So somebody from New York will be like, oh, he's funny.
You know, someone's Chicago.
Oh, he's funny.
I got a lot of people from everywhere.
Like, no, it's from, it's L.A., but it's still like the same, you know, like, you know, it's the same vibe.
And every other city that has gangs looks at L.A.
and is curious about what's going on in LA
because they know it's where it came
from and they're just curious because it's like
if it works one way here, how's it
worked in other places? Like that's
one of the craziest things that I noticed is
like I've interviewed dudes who are like
straight street dudes and gotten
so many fucking views
from people who basically were like not
famous at all but they clearly
like had like a real life in the streets
and people want to know so fucking bad.
I mean Crip Mac, his view count
is insane.
Like that's one that just blew my mind.
I'm like, wow, like the audience really wants to hear about what's going on from real people who are out there.
Man, exactly.
Like, if you can tell them a good L.A. story or just, they'll love it.
They love it.
People just love L.A. so much.
You want to do some skits with Krip Mac?
I don't mind it.
Oh, that's a good idea.
And that's the thing, too.
Like, even when people be like, damn, like, this nigga don't collab with nobody.
I'm just, I just be on my own.
Like, it ain't no knock to nobody.
You know what I'm saying?
I just don't really be collabing.
Like, you know, it's just, that's just not my type of getting.
I don't know, like, I just never been somebody
that's like, man, let's do this, you know.
Like, you know, let's work.
I'll just be in my own lane.
Right.
Because a lot of people ask for a lot of collab, like, man,
when you're gonna collab with so and so, so.
It's like, man, due time.
Like, you know, and I figure myself out, you know,
I gotta, you know, figure it out first before I,
because I don't wanna be them type of thing.
It's just like, it's a lot that goes in with me.
Like, I see how I go, right?
You'll do a video, you'll blow up.
Let's say something happened.
reason why I, you're only reason why you there because you did. So I'm talking, I'm getting it
on my own until I get where I want to be first. You know what I'm saying? That's the only
reason I don't be collabing with a lot of people. You know what I'm saying? I just be sticking to,
you know, let me build my brand when I get to a certain level. Once I get there, then I can
help other people get up too. That's super smart, bro, because a lot people don't think like that.
Yeah, that's why like a lot of the, a lot of the, a lot of the, a lot of the knick is
oh, man, that ain't no hard feelings. It's just, you know, I see a way I want to do it,
and I'm a stick to that until I get to where I want to be.
success and really built a name for yourself pretty young too.
And I kind of respect that of like if you start to have real success when you're young,
like you might want to be kind of precautionous because you might not want to dive all the way in on that.
You might want to kind of like, you know, pull back a little bit to just be able to peep the scene
and see exactly what moves make the most sense to make at that time, you know?
Exactly.
That's why, you know, I rather everything, you know, if I go up, it's all me or, you know,
my team and my family, then, you know, somebody else.
Or even if I go, I'd rather be, even if I, you know, decrease, I'd rather be, you know, on my terms than be doing something and it don't work out.
You know, I'd rather be, you know what?
I'm going to handle Xavier TV, how I handle Xavier TV.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's all.
I'll just be like, I just got to stick, stick through this, get to it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, yeah.
Do you go out at night, like our friend here?
Or do you stay in the house like me?
I'm being in the crib.
I'm being in the crib, still trying to figure it out.
Right.
I'm at the house working, like working.
Like, if I'm not posting, I'm working.
Right.
Figuring some of them.
Whether I'm recording music, I'm doing a YouTube video, I'm doing the Instagram video, something.
You know, I'm figuring out new content to put out every day.
So it's like, I don't got time to go out yet.
You know what I'm saying?
I ain't, you know, reached a certain status.
If you leave the house, only bad things can happen.
Bad things happen when you leave the house, man.
Yeah, right.
You're always telling me about headbutting somebody or whatever.
That's a fucking lie.
Hey, Dever, get down.
No, no.
Back in the day.
Before he stopped drinking.
Oh, wait.
No, nigga.
I used to make bad decisions
when I was drinking, though.
I ain't going to lie.
It's kind of part of it.
That's what alcohol is good for.
Yeah.
Do you smoke and you drink?
I don't smoke.
I drink on occasion.
Like, give me something I'm celebrating.
Like, I haven't celebrated my plaque yet,
so I'm going to celebrate that.
Yeah, you two black?
Congratulations.
A hundred cake, got the silver up on the wall.
Man, man, that thing, man,
man, that's my dream.
YouTube is my dream, man.
I want to be one of the greatest to do it.
Or whatever, the best Xavier TV I could be on YouTube, that's what I want to be.
So when that gold plaque coming, I don't know how I'm handling.
Like a big stramaganza.
What's the last thing you saw in terms of a TV show, a movie, a documentary, whatever, that really inspired the fuck out of you and made you like, I'm a film tomorrow.
I'm gonna fucking crush shit tomorrow.
Like, I, you know, like, sometimes you just see a piece of content that gets you really riled up, you know?
Really everything, bro.
Like, I would say a show, to answer you a question.
and snowfall really I see it snow floor I'll be like God I gotta film something like damn that's it too
real snowfall so hard like that's a that's a hard show but like content period when I see people
on your page or see AD doing something see O T everybody from the city grinding like me seeing
blast B no everybody just going crazy that make me like man I got a whole mind up you know I gotta
make sure I'm coming hard I can't be the one like you know it's just man like everything like it just
make me want to, you know, go hard for sure.
I told my girl, he's probably going to say something funny because
what?
I like your girl that.
She's cool.
No, no, no, because when I said, uh, when I said, uh, when I said, uh, when I said, uh,
yeah, I've been watching your shit since high school, he said, oh, shit.
But nah, I told my girl, I'm like, watch.
No jumper going to be the first interview I do.
Really?
Bad ass.
But I know that you're planning your career out in the long term, too, because I was trying
to get you like a year ago.
And I feel like you wanted to build more.
I'm like, no, what I put, I think I'll put it in a couple weeks or something.
Okay.
Yeah, I put in a couple weeks.
I got it.
He probably didn't like that.
Yeah, no, no, no.
I let people be on their own time line, you know?
That they'll be like, who does he think he is?
No, I said, no, somebody, no, somebody, they sent me A.
They sent me 80 clip where you were, oh, you shouted me out.
Oh, yeah.
I'm like, hey, that's what's up.
I felt like we talked about you a few times.
Yeah, yeah.
And he was like, man, you shunning no jumper, are you putting down?
I'm like, I had to tell somebody like, hell no.
Like, I'm like, I'm like, dude.
I'm not bigger than no program.
Like, you know, I'm a humble nigga.
Like, I ain't the type of image I'm trying to put out there.
I like that. Nobody's bigger than the program.
I've been saying that a lot.
No, you heard that from me, nigga.
The fuck up.
Bosco goes, I ain't never heard you say that.
When you been saying that?
No, but that's going to be the new merch.
Nobody bigger than the program.
That's hard.
But like literally, I told my girl, this was before I blew up, too.
Like, right?
I'm like, yeah, nah, I'm going to be on no jump in my first interview.
Everything I call out of happened.
That's amazing.
I'm big on that, too.
with you a girl before you started popping up?
No, I was talking to her.
Like really, I've been, I knew her.
Then you blew up and she was like, all right, I'll date you.
No, I knew her since high school since ninth grade.
She got in on early stage.
Early angel investor.
Nah, I knew her.
I knew her since ninth grade.
She always been cool.
I always liked her, for sure.
But I just never really, like me, I was always a relationship with guys.
So I had something back then.
Okay.
But she had to wait that out.
Yeah.
You know, that type of shit, oh, man.
So, yeah, you know, but what, you know, I always told her, I'm like, I always tell
people like, you know, you call.
certain stuff, I'll just gonna happen.
Like, I'm gonna say on the show and we're gonna look back.
In a few years with this music,
do that.
But does, uh, shake my head, I believe it.
Does having a strong woman in your corner tell me about how that empowers you to really
kill it with the content?
You need that base, right?
My mom, too.
My mom was the strong woman in my corner and my aunties, all of them.
You know, they, they, I grew up in a house full of women.
So it's like, you know.
Me too?
So it's like, I always had that strong support system, you know, behind me, my mom.
You know, so it's like, that's what really had me doing all this.
Seeing her struggle, you know, you don't want to see her mom struggling.
It's like, you don't want to go to street walk, the street route because you know where that go.
So I'm like, I got to figure out something that's clean and something I could get in where I'm like, all right, I could do this every day.
But I have to worry about the, you know, the bad shit coming with it.
You know, I can just get the money, feed my family and just be there, you know, for him.
Right.
Yeah, that's pretty much how.
I always think about how Watson and Kwan, like, fully put his, he just kept his foot on Nick Cannon's neck until he got the shot on Wilden's neck until he got the shot on Wilden out.
He got that fan base and then use the fan base to be like,
yo, give me a shot, and then while I'm not fucked with him.
I mean, that to me is like the real power of social media right there.
You build up the following, you build up people who love you,
and then you're able to sort of use the platform to get into the positions that you want to be in.
That's fire.
You know, to chase something you want and using your brand to get there, that's dope, for real.
Like, anybody doing that, that's goat level stuff.
Like when you could use your platform to make, to make.
To make your dream happen, like, that's big.
That's real big.
That's why I'm like, hats off to him.
He's doing this thing.
For sure.
It was like, that's dope.
That's a dope thing to do.
Use anything you built and make a dream happen out of it.
You do that.
You want another level.
Because nobody gave you nothing.
Definitely.
You started it from zero followers.
Like, zero.
I know how that feels.
Zero followers, you pushing out content every day to get where you want.
That's one of the hardest ways of getting something.
But everybody needs to be careful on Instagram these days
because they'd be deleting you,
for fucking anything these days.
When I went to look at your Instagram,
I was almost like, wow, I'm surprised
that he ain't get popped or something
because it seems like they fuck with everybody these days.
Man, man, I hope.
I'm afraid.
Fingers crossed, knock on wood.
Yeah, man, I hope they don't do that.
I got like three violations of four.
I'm like nothing.
Yeah, I hope they don't do that to me, man.
I've been seeing that.
People, Instagram's getting taken away
and they can't go live.
They took this nigga shit for what?
A whole week.
For like a weekend, yeah.
God, thank God.
I was just somebody trolling,
trying to get me taken away.
No, somebody.
That's the thing I hate too that I feel like Instagram, TikTok, they got a fix.
When somebody report your page or do some, they got to really look into that because that's not fair.
A lot of the times it could be, they just hating to see you win.
You don't even do nothing.
Yeah.
And that's a lot of people's business, you know, it's like when I lost my Instagram too and I realized like there's 15 conversations I'm having right now about something I'm supposed to post, something I'm supposed to do, someone I'm supposed to interview, et cetera.
Boom, it's all gone.
And I can't even fucking remember who I was talking to.
Never mind how to talk to those people.
there was one guy who was coming to town
that I was supposed to link up with
I didn't have his number or anything
I was just talking on Instagram
Where did they get?
I mean I didn't meet up with him
But
My Instagram was gone
I had a good excuse
Yeah see like stuff like that
I'd be like man
They got to look into that man
Like that's something that's people
That's they sometimes
That's the only source of income
Is Instagram
At a point it was mine
So if my Instagram was taken away
Like let's say four or five
six months ago
And I'll be hurt
I'll be hurt because I ain't just start making money on YouTube until like the end of the last year.
Right.
Before it was a little something.
Yeah.
It started going crazy.
It's fucked up too because it creates a bigger problem than it was there in the beginning because I see it all the time.
We just interviewed East Side Egg Roll from Detroit and his, they delete his Instagram and then all of a sudden there's 10 fake pages pretending to be him and the names are super close to his original name.
And the fake pages are eating.
Oh yeah.
The fake pages are eating.
Yeah, they're eating because all you.
you got to do is you got you got the followers the same damn near the the the main account got
you can sell promo our day just as well as they could because you got the the viewing and the numbers
that's what i'd be telling numbers is everything it's people that made youtube channels with millions of
them millions of subscribers ain't never showed they face right they just talking about a topic and getting
views making money literally yeah i've been watching a channel of a dude who basically like he does like
the war in shirac but for the bronx right now and i was i was talking to him and i'm like so you you
You keep your fucking identity totally anonymous, huh?
He's like, yep.
Like, that's a good idea.
Is he white?
No.
I don't think so.
And he's making money.
Probably making a hell of it killing off of YouTube.
Shout out Swayze.
Go search up Swayze's channel.
Search him up.
But man, I'm telling you.
Like, that's a whole other bag, man.
YouTube's a whole other level, man.
Well, I didn't even know how powerful was until I started doing this shit.
Yeah.
I saw, all these little white kids coming to me?
I was like, this shit crazy.
That's a whole other level.
Like, it's a whole other level.
Like, I used to do crazy.
crazy shit. Like the way I manifest
is crazy. Like, n' guy, I go in the bathroom
and practice to take pictures with people.
The guy going to the bathroom
and be posing like the ass-hous-hous going to be.
I swear, nigga I wrote the, I drew
a fake plaque on my wall. I got a
million subscriber plaque already on my
wall. I already got it. It's not
there. It's there, but it's, you know,
it's in the works right now. Yeah.
So that's just pending. Yeah, you know, it's just pending.
They say it's pending until you get 900,000 more
follows. Yeah, yeah, it's just pending right now.
So, you know, that's how I do it
Everything I do.
I just draw it out and I just work at it.
You know, it's been working.
Literally, everything I have wrote on my list, checked it off, checked it off, check it off.
Everything.
Yeah.
So I'm like, what's a person who reposted one of your videos or comments on one of your videos
and you just, like, could not believe that they were looking at it?
Like, somebody really popping her things.
Oh, really?
He commented on my impersonation of him.
It wasn't the top of last year.
Right.
And it was a bunch of blogs like, can't.
Cendrick Lamar posts, come out on the internet.
Kendrick farts, it's news.
Like, he commented his people tagging me, like, Kendrick fan pages.
Who are you?
Like, why is he commenting under you?
Wow.
I'm like, I don't know.
But I was hype.
When he commented.
He just laughed.

That's somebody I want to work with, too, only because I just feel like, I don't know.
Like, when I meet somebody and I feel like you got a good, you know, you got a good spirit, I'm all off the vibes, you know?
And you got a good vibe.
I want to mind collaborating with you, because I feel like you wouldn't do no weird shit.

So if you got a good heart and a good spirit and I meet you, I want mine working with anybody.
I want to see you.
You and Duno in a roast battle on AD's podcast sometime soon.
You come on there.
I'll pop on.

And he's telling that story, you know?
It's crazy because I was seeing and like he followed me.
I forgot when he followed me, but I remember when he posted that one video, he was at like 20,000 followers.
Bro went from 20 to like 70 in two days.
I'm like, ooh, I was happy.
I'm lit.
Like, hey, you're going crazy, bro.
Like, to see people go crazy, it's like something that I love seeing.

I want to see you go crazy.
Like, you know.
That's why you're going to win.
This show, get a chance, get a TV, you know.
So you got the right attitude.
We need every kid in L.A. to have that attitude of just wanting everybody in the process.
That's why he's going to win, bro.
Yeah, I want everybody, though, you know, to process.
It feels better, you know.
You know, you got one person in the room when I win, and it's not going to feel
You know, he ain't going, I want everybody to win.
Y'all hear that?
Keep that mentality, man.
Yeah, everybody got to win.
From rappers, medians, you cook, whatever you do.
Man, I want to see you make it.
You cook?
Nah.
Me neither.
Nah.
I can't cook shit.

He's sitting down.
You can tell he cooked.
My girl got on my house before for not cooking.
I'm like, I buy all this postmates and you're going to complain about that.
Bro, I'll be like, you want me to kill you?
Cook the body?
No, I'm just saying, you want me to, you want to get.
food poisoning?
Yeah, I don't know the fuck.
Okay, like that.
What you thought I was saying?
I thought you wanted to kill you?
Like, well, we need something to eat.
We're going to cook your leg or something?
I'll put some, they probably don't talk about me about this.
But, hey, it is what it is.
I was young, shit.
I put the cup of noodle in the microwave without putting water in it.
I almost blew up the whole damn out.
I put the whole cup of noodle in there.
No water.
Just put it in there three minutes.
It started smoking.
The microwave started smoking.
Yeah.
My little brother did that with a cookie.
He put it on for an hour.
I almost burnt the house, man.
Yeah.
I do certain shit now.
I'll be having to catch myself.
Like, I'll put a plate in there with foil.
I'll be like, oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah, no.
That's when I have the, like, you, at a certain point in their life,
everybody learns to be careful with the microwave.
I'd have some pop tarts, and they were in foil,
and I'm in, like, I'm like 13.
I put it in the microwave.
All of a sudden.
Yeah.
Tear up the whole microwave.
Learn my lesson right there.
Yeah.
You ever ate the top?
Well, I know you probably had.
ate the time ramen, like raw out the package.
Hell, man, I made a video about that.
Put the seasoning on there and shit.
Nah, I used to eat the pasta, what's the name?
They used to pop these shit like policies.
So what I got, the little, the elbow, the macaroni elbows.
Okay.
Pop these shit's like policy.
That's nasty, nigga.
They taste just like the damn top ramen.
That's disgusting.
They taste just like the top ramen.
I've watched enough, like, Hood cooking videos or prison cooking videos
to realize that there's a lot you can do with ramen.
Nick said, ugh, that's that.
Nick, that's nice.
No, God, I'm looking at the, in my head, I'm thinking about the craft max, the little dry-ass ones.
And you just popping them all the fuckers like, shick-tacks.
That's disgusting, bro.
I can't fucking tag.
Yeah, this shit's really hard, right?
What the fuck you snacking on that fuck?
Like, goddamn buy some Doritos or something, nigga, fuck.
But they think that when you season is some damn Tom ramen packages.
That's your fire, though.
That's what I'm saying.
It's a seasoning, though.
Yeah, I guess.
I'm going to try that shit.
today.
We're fucking around.
Niggins.
Just be like, boom.
Tag me.
I'm gonna tag me in the story.
I got you.
I'm gonna do that shit today.
Let me know if I'm tripping.
You should do it too, man.
Yeah, I'll wash it down with some flaming hot mountain dew.
You ever have flaming hot mountain dew?
That's the stupidest shit as well too.
Flaming Hot Mountain Dew.
It's here.
They sent us one can of Flaming Hot Mountain Dew and we all were about to, we all took shots of it
thinking that it was going to be gross.
Shit was fire.
I want to get a whole case of it.
It was fire like that.
It was so good.
But, you know, white people.
taste buds is different.
That's true.
It's different.
I've been eating that since I was young, so.
Your shit fried.
I need to have different flavors in order to stimulate my taste buds.
I've never had flaming hot.
I don't do.
That sounds crazy.
Honestly, like, it was not that hot, which is why it was good.
So what's the, what's the...
I know, what's the...
It had that, like, spice of, like...
You know the beers where they put all the season in around it?
The Mexican guy?
I love that shit.
I hate that shit.
Was it Lucas and shit?
That's what I thought it was going.
gonna taste like but then it wasn't that extreme it was actually kind of chill watermelon yeah
probably yeah all fruit yeah put some mustard on some watermelon fuck no that was the thing for
what kind of shit is that they were talking about it on tic-tog it was like a trend that's disgusting
i know people are trying mustard on water that's two foods i'm not really crazy about it though
it don't sound too bad now mustard on the water now i'm gonna try that shit oh okay we can make
that habit you're not you're not filming me doing that why not you think you're a puke cultural
appropriation. I don't even like mustard like mustard like that. Mustard is I like Dijon mustard and
honey mustard. Not necessarily, y'all is I could get out with some honey mustard, but just
mustard. I like mayonnaise more than mustard and I like apples more than watermel. So what about
an apple covered in the mayo? You should do that for a video. I mean, I'll do it if I got to crack
open a new can of helmonds. Let's go. Hey, when if it go viral? You never know. If it'll go viral.
What challenge would you call that?
The white Adam challenge.
The whitest meal in the world.
Manage and apples.

100%.
This is a good role model right here.
But sure, for sure.
Man, I just try to be upright and solid, man.
You know, real, just genuine, solid individuals.
That's all I want to be looked at, you know.
You got a good head on your shoulders.
