That's fucked up because I go to churches and give me an A-piece and they charge me taxes on that shit all the time.
Starting point is 00:06:22 That's some bullshit. You know what I'm talking about? That's some bullshit. So when did you get into, you know, being it, when did you feel like you wanted to be a comic, man? When did you feel like you want to do stand-up? And, you know, when did you feel like you was a funny guy? I felt like I was a funny guy from about seventh grade.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Because it comes from within first. You gotta feel it before you. Absolutely. Just wanna say, you know, anybody else can say it for you, right? You gotta feel that on the inside, man. Absolutely. Eddie Murphy's first two stand-up specials, raw and delirious kind of, you know, brought my attention
Starting point is 00:06:51 to stand-up comedy. However, I wouldn't really, you know, again, I was like, damn, that's dope. I would love to do that, but I never thought like, okay, I'm gonna work towards it. You know what I'm saying? He's just somebody I idolized. But I always been a funny guy to class clown and things of that nature. And as I got older,
Starting point is 00:07:08 you know, my first, you know, my first mind was on hip hop and rapping. You know what I mean? Was it any good? Yeah, damn right. I'm one of the best. I'm one of the motherfucking best. Tell them where they can find your music at right now. You find me on Apple, iTunes, all that shit, man. You might find a few songs for me, man. Slink Capone.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I did a lot of work with Too Short back in the days. You know what I'm saying? That's why I made my interest into the... Any songs by Too Short that you might have featured on that might be popular today? I know you love her. You know what I said? Check out, I know you love her from the Woo Soundtrack. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:43 I know you love her, nigger. I know you love her, nigga. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, man. You're all right with me, man. I don't care what the niggas say about you at the gas station. Yeah, he all right.

Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeri. Go fuck around, catch something. You can't get rid of. That nigga got a fucking, a club, a figo of club card. He gets a discount. Now I'm fucking with you.
Starting point is 00:08:26 you're, it's good. So, you're gonna fucking around, poison, nigger water. So back to your upbringing and you you know, figuring out of that, man, shit, it was a funny motherfucker, fuck it, man. This is what I'm about to pursue.
Starting point is 00:08:42 What did, what, what came next to there? What, what hurdles? Hold on, hold on. I'm passing this to Shaybaby, we're going to smoke yours. Yeah, man, shut out. We're going to smoke. We don't smoke mine, huh? You take that.
Starting point is 00:08:52 We're going to smoke here later. It's a long pass, so I'm just, you know, saying I don't want to have to be getting up but I'd rather grace the screen with some of you real quick. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, you just trying to let him know man, you got it. Hey man, check this out man, it ain't went nowhere. I see what you did.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You did? Yeah. Yeah. So back to it man, you know, like what hurdles, man, you know, did you see any hurdles after that? Because we kind of stopped in the middle of the story. Yeah, man, there was a lot of hurdles, man. Entertainment, man, ain't all what you, you know what I'm saying. For every rapper, actor, singer
Starting point is 00:09:24 you see, it's A million more at the door trying to get on. So just understand that, man. And things didn't quite work with hip hop, and that's how I wanted them to. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, but I've always been this outgoing type of dude. I've always been a class clown.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I've always been an actor of sorts, you know. And back in 93, I started doing sketches with a good friend of mine by the name of Jason Van Veen, who was a film student at the time. And we was doing them sketches and shit. And I wasn't tripping because I was rapping, but I was just doing the sketches with them because it was my friend. and, you know, I'm hanging with my friends clowning, you know, just, you know, hamming it up for the camera and shit,
Starting point is 00:10:01 doing shit. And, you know, that was in the infancy of the Internet age. And we had a couple of sketches that made it to the Internet, like, as it, you know, became a thing and kind of got lost in the sauce, but thankfully, you know, some, you know, they kind of became some cult hit videos and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And through that friend, I met Aaron Magruder, and through that meeting with Aaron McGruder, I met DJ Poole and all that stuff kind of got mixed together. You know, I'm, you know, black Jesus is a thing. Yeah. Not quite a TV show yet because, you know, Black Jesus came from me working with Aaron.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I was doing some sketches with him. And I think that he, you know, he took a liking to my personality. He saw something in me that exemplified this character. And, you know, he came to me one day. He asked me, yo, how would you like play Black Jesus? I'm like, hell yeah, we was already doing sketches. And Jesus was a sketch as well at first.
Starting point is 00:10:55 you know what I mean? And it was part of what, it was part of a show. So this was kind of like an accident, maybe? Like it just kind of got popping on accident. Y'all just tried it in blue. That was, that was God. That was ordained by God. I just walked into it like I was supposed to.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But, yeah, if you want to say it was an accident in regards to, it wasn't a conscious effort. Like, yo, I know niggas who say, I'm going to be an actor and they go take headshots and acting classes and, you know what I'm saying, go through all the things. my hurdles weren't necessarily those hurdles. My hurdles were my own, you know, being, you know, my own fucked up ways of thinking, you know what I'm saying, involving myself in bullshit I need to be involved in and all kinds of shit. So those were my hurdles.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I think had I not been, you know, so caught up in bullshit, I probably would have been further or this shit would have happened faster. But it definitely was something that's supposed to happen for me. What bullshit would that pertain to, you know, because bullshit, you know, that shit rains, you know, it stretches out to a lot of shit. So let's dig into that a little bit. Like, what did you feel like, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:59 was one of the most toughest times of it that you had to really come out of? Or you felt like, damn, I wasn't going to come out this shit at all. Or you just felt like, hey, man, this shit's just smooth sailing for me. I didn't even think twice about it, man. I knew it was happening and went right through.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Shark, man. It's like, you know, a nigga went through the same shit that niggas go through. You know what I'm saying? That niggas on South of Wilson are going to go through. That niggas in any ghetto, any neighborhood going to go.
Starting point is 00:12:22 go through. Except I think, you know, again, I'm blessed by God's divinity and its protection. I'm smart. You know what I'm saying? I'm outgoing. I'm handsome as a motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry most guapo de todos. Me amos el verga de burro. I have more grand verga de of todos. In Halisco, me amos is El Padrote de Kalle. Yeah. That shit sounded like a straight Telemundo news station. I just had let them know. You just straight busted down, Ptolemundo, shout out to Telemundo. Tellumundo. You know, Sharp, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Did you do the voice secretly, man? Is you over there? Man, look here. I'm telling me, you over there working on them people channel, man, low key. Man, look here, Las Mukheras. Mooka. Come on, man, get at me, man. I love that shit.
Starting point is 00:13:12 But you know, Sharp, it was just, just bullshit, man. You know what I'm saying? They caught up in the streets. And I always like to say this, man, you know, because some niggas get on this thing and portray super thugged, super. I wasn't no suit. I had one foot in the streets
Starting point is 00:13:24 and the other foot in real life and, you know, things of that nature. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I like to say that I played with the streets. I didn't get burned. I got singed. I got sins like a motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I did my little jail time. My little young jail time. I did some Y.A. time. I did about three years in Y.A. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, a few little hiccups here and there as an adult, but you know,
Starting point is 00:13:46 they stuck me in that county jail for like five months, nigger. Right when I was doing GTA 5, nigga. right when GTA 5 I had just started filming that shit I was on I'm you know doing my thing in the streets trying to make me some money
Starting point is 00:13:59 got pulled over got cracked you know what I'm saying they ran in the nigga crib and found the jackhammers and shit you know what I'm talking about and it was just a horrendous ordeal I had a four year joint suspension from some other shit already
Starting point is 00:14:13 so I'm in the motherfucker I'm in there with a new beef jack hammers and tree and you know what I'm talking about man I thought it was over man I had just started doing GTA 5 my life was like, come on man, what the fuck? And I, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:27 You ever notice that every, it happens like that every time. A person gets going with something good or something that's about to be life-changing happens to them. They end up getting sucked back into some bullshit or some shit ends up happening that sits there and blocks them blessings.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Because I feel like had you had been out, man, shit, you probably would have gotten, you know, being able to catch that wave and do a whole lot more. Yeah, man, but you know, I think God saved my life. It was time. You know what I'm saying? He saved my life.
Starting point is 00:14:54 He set me down for a minute. You know what I'm saying? I held up the game. They was trying to find another nigga to take my part. They was waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me. Then God opened the doors and the nigger walked out and completed the GTA 5, and that was a great thing. Then I had to talk with Aaron McGruder because that was right before Black Jesus was about to pop. And Aaron had came and got in me like Puffy did Biggie.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Like, look here, nigga. Now, if you want this shit, you're going to have to leave that bull shit. alone. Right. And God damn it I wanted it and I left that bullshit alone.

Starting point is 00:20:48 God bless his soul, man. Rest of peace, Charlie Murphy, man, for real. And show that fly-ass, Lucene's, DeMarco cut right there. DeMarco hit me at Loose ends, you know, he hit my shit off. You know what I'm talking about? See DeMarco or you see my man Tyrone, either one, both these dudes on par, loose ends. You know what I'm talking about right there on 146 in West and the Gardena? You know what I'm talking about Lucin's?
Starting point is 00:21:09 DeMarco or Tyrone. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. That motherfucker, but God bless Charlie Murphy. It's soul. God bless John Witherspoon. But both of them dudes told me to get it. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:21:19 You know, stand-up was always fascinating to me. You know, and I'm not going to say that I'm a natural because a lot of niggas want to come in the game and say that a natural. You don't understand natural stand-up is a science. You don't just like pimping. You just don't jump in and say you a pimp. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:21:35 And show up with a bitch and say you're a pimp. You're not a pimp. Yeah. You take 10,000 man hours or $10,000. checking it out of a bitch. You know what I'm saying? Something. It's going to take one or the other.
Starting point is 00:21:47 You get them 10,000 man. I was in them $10,000 or something. You're not a pimp. You're not a stand-up. So, again, it's something that I want to approach with respect and admiration. You know what I'm talking about? And learn the science of it because it's definitely not something. You know, a nigga.
Starting point is 00:22:03 There's plenty of niggas that's funny at the barbecue. You know what I'm saying? It's a bunch of niggas that's going to make you laugh in the line at the ball. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. But when you put them on stage in front of 800 people, 8,000 people, 8,000 people, 8 people. Right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:18 It's not the same. So, you know, it's definitely a science, and I'm learning that science. But, you know, now I feel like, you know, nigga, I'm there. I'm at level one, a comedian, if you ask me. I'm at level one. You feel like you're at level one. You don't feel like you're just a few more notches than that? No, when I mean being a real comedian and not just a funny nigger.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Right. You know what I'm saying? It's a hell of a transition. It's a hell of a transition, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, hell yeah, it is. It's about timing. You know what I'm saying? It's about, you know, writing and reading crowds and shit. There's a comedian, right?
Starting point is 00:22:52 I would think is, you know, that's a make-and-break type of career, you know, because today you could be hot, tomorrow you can be not. You know what I'm saying? So it really does, you know, you really are putting yourself out on the, you know what I'm saying? You're putting yourself out on the ledge with that, man, you know? I think that's about the rapport you build with your feet. fan base. When you get that good solid fan base, I'm gonna give a motherfucking
Starting point is 00:23:14 a motherfucking example like my man Corey Holcomb. He's not the biggest comedian in the world. He's a great comedian. He's not the biggest comedian, but he has a solid fucking fan base that's going to fuck with him all the time, including myself. You know what I'm saying? He got a solid fucking
Starting point is 00:23:30 fan base and you build that solid fan base and build that rapport with your people, man. You reach out, you touch the people. You know what I'm saying? If you're spitting that real shit, they're going to feel you and they're going to fuck with you, man. feel like even with people that say like oh sharp you know I'm a fan I'd be like no man you're a friend like I don't never want you know I'm saying I don't never look at like even my people things I do you know I don't I'll never look at
Starting point is 00:23:52 them as fans man I always look at them as friends and you know friends I feel like support yeah you're saying friends are supposed to be so they're supporters so that's when you're support that's that's a real friend to me you know that's not just fan shit and then that fans shit that's actually putting you somewhere else like you're making me something other than a human being I am I'm your friend, bro. I'm gonna come in your house and take a shit. You know what I'm gonna come drop a deuce. I'm gonna take a gangster
Starting point is 00:24:17 right in your house. You know what I'm saying? If it's real like that, I'm gonna take a shit. You know what I'm saying? I want you to hit my cash app, my nigga. You my folks, you my friend, my nigga, I'm gonna give you my cash app. Dollar sign Slink Johnson, S-L-I-N-J-O-H-N-S-O-N. Love me down one time, my nigga. It's cool. It's cool, my nigga.

I'm fit to do this action movie. You know what I'm saying? I'm actually gonna flip the script on niggas Because you know all they you know a lot of people
Starting point is 00:27:50 People got the nerd who got the notion or a lot of times they like to pigeonhole you You know what I'm saying? That's why you rarely see me in the costume I'm not gonna wear the black Jesus costume if I ain't doing black Jesus really Or unless the bag is just that big you know what I'm saying because I ain't for to let you pigeonhole me Just like I'm not feeling let nobody pigeonhole me in this comedy I got some actually I got some sci-fi you know what I'm saying some serious sci-fi and some motherfucking drama that I'm working on. And again,
Starting point is 00:28:18 my name ain't going to be on it like that because, you know what I'm saying? I want you to, you know what I'm saying? When I hit you with this shit, when you see that white man that somebody's Berg name on it, I'm going to hit your face. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:32 You're going to think it's them. And it's, oh yeah, secretly the black guy. Watch, it's going to be some dope shit. I think it's hard, man, to, um, It's very hard to be somebody that's funny because I see that in movie, like people who are, you know, actors, you know, all the time. It's very hard for them to go from being funny and then trying to get a serious role. Nobody always takes them serious.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Like, I can't even, you know what I'm saying? Like, damn, it's hard to see Kevin Hart in something serious. Yeah, well, he just did a true story. Right. So it's going to be, that's putting yourself out there. It's just, it's a hell of a transition, man. And it's a hell of a risk. Absolutely, man.
Starting point is 00:29:11 you know, absolutely. And, you know, I believe that, you know, a motherfucker going to fare well in that arena, you know what I'm saying? And it's just, you know, I think a lot of comedians can do, you know, straight and serious, you know, drama and thrillers, sci-fi, all that shit. I believe comedians can do it all. It's just the public's perception of those comedians and how hard you'll have to fight to, you know, to get through that public perception. But I believe it can be done, you know, with the right role. and shit in the right wardrobe.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Right. Sometimes it's just looking at a motherfucker. You got, sometimes you might have to, you know, put on a different outfit and just do something totally different than what people are used to. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, you know, people are, man, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:57 you have to think about it, man. People are afraid to do something like that one off because they always afraid of what people think. And I say this, if you motherfuckers ain't scared to sit there as men and put on full-blown dresses, what the fuck you get a fucking four in? If that's the case, I'm just saying, if you could put on me, these grown-ass men, man, sitting there and modeling this shit. Christian Dior, man, they put men in, you know, people like that, they put them in full-blown
Starting point is 00:30:20 dresses and shit like that. So if you could do that, man, and that type of shit, man, hey, do what you really want to do. Man, go here, man. Like, do what you really want to do. They go back to living in your truth. Yeah. Walking in your truth. Yeah, do what you really want to do, man.
Starting point is 00:30:33 What gives a fuck what anybody thinks, man? Live free, man. Be free spirit. At the end of the day, that's what I say, man, because at the end of the motherfucking day, I'd have seen enough niggas die that lived their life that didn't live their life to their potential and they died
Starting point is 00:30:48 and a whole bunch of motherfuckers that they think they died folk don't give a fuck the day after they in the dirt so that to that man you do to fuck your shit nigga quit worrying about these niggas quit worrying about these niggas man do your shit man you motherfuckers be worried about niggas too much

People may have a certain perception of you because of what your perceived background or what you know what you know what I'm saying, but they don't know. It's a lot of motherfuckers that come from back back. Everybody
