00:02:14.760 They said, look, either y'all start producing some hits

00:02:17.300 or I'm going to start producing some hits.

00:02:19.900 What do you do for fun? 0.93

00:02:21.540 Think of s*** to do. 0.98

00:02:23.420 I watched Straight Outta Compton, and then I realized it's your son. 0.97

00:02:26.260 I approached him, and I'm like, yo, I want you to play me.

00:02:29.140 He was like, okay.

00:02:30.100 And I was like, that came off a little too easy.

00:02:33.660 We have Kevin Hart right on after you. 0.91

00:02:35.400 That **** owed me some money.

00:02:36.860 I bet him he was going to end up being more friends with Rock than me. 0.97

00:02:40.720 After he did one movie and his group of **** is over there with the Rock, left me behind.

00:02:53.780 I don't like all this waiting.

00:02:55.700 I want to just roll into it.

00:02:56.440 I know, I know.

00:02:57.180 It's like a lot of fumbling bags going on right now.

00:02:59.740 We have Ice Cube sitting on the couch next to us.

00:03:02.260 We're sitting here like, yo.

00:03:03.260 I'm sorry, Mr. Cube.

00:03:04.860 All good, man.

00:03:05.780 You know, I'm in your house.

00:03:08.300 We're actually at the High Mat, which is a great place to record podcasts.

00:03:12.860 It's extremely quiet in here.

00:03:14.160 Welcome back to Impulsive, the number one podcast in the world.

00:03:17.260 Thank you guys for listening, watching, viewing, and subscribing.

00:03:20.200 Listen, I have a text on my phone.

00:03:21.400 It's from Kevin, my videographer.

00:03:22.780 He's sitting right there.

00:03:23.600 It says, Cube is on set.

00:03:25.480 How y'all making him wait?

00:03:27.180 caps dude you got here 15 minutes early before us well if you can't be on time be early you know 0.94

00:03:35.160 i'm saying that's my motto can't do either this is what separates the great honestly damn it 0.99

00:03:41.080 we saw you getting out of your bentley when we pulled up and i was like we fucked up dude yeah 0.97

00:03:46.040 it's all good you know i expected us to start at two so it's all good oh it's 159 you know i mean 0.88

00:03:53.360 so it's all good you guys are actually early so you know usually they say we're gonna start at

00:03:59.700 two and then it's 2 30 before we finally you know check the cameras and the mic and then we start

00:04:05.960 well that's what we never know what to expect you know some of our talent as you know you've

00:04:10.540 dealt with talent yeah they'll kind of just show up whenever they want yeah you know they do yeah

00:04:15.660 yeah you know me i like i like being on time you know because i know time is money everybody time

00:04:23.140 is valuable um so most of the most of the time you don't have to wait on me what's that saying

00:04:31.320 punctuality is like a sign of the gods yeah i think that's it i think i think there's some

00:04:37.160 saying about punctuality yeah how it's important i think i think you nailed it listen uh uh we have

00:04:42.600 an intro for you but i i think any intro that our producer dylan wrote was probably not even

00:04:47.160 sufficient enough to to explain all the stuff you've done dude you're a create creator of

00:04:52.320 culture for decades and you've done so much and to be honest this is this is one of our biggest 0.99

00:04:57.700 episodes and we're honored to have you on man but why did you do this show because y'all the shit 0.98

00:05:03.460 you know i mean y'all y'all the shit and uh everybody know it so you know i mean it's just 0.98

00:05:10.200 it's only right to be able to to speak to you guys and your audience and uh you know let them 0.99

00:05:16.920 know i'm the shit too so well i think they already know that it's also it's also a big week for you 0.95

00:05:21.780 the the lakers are crushing it yeah you know the lakers well they made it into the second round i 0.99

00:05:28.340 i mean crushing it i don't know second round yeah uh but we'll see everybody counted them out

00:05:35.520 everybody thought they was trash um but you you can't count out champions um and and you know

00:05:44.780 we got champion pedigree and so don't do it is lebron james the greatest basketball player of

00:05:51.520 all-time there's no way to measure that i'm not an all-time guy he hasn't played in all time so

00:05:58.600 you know everybody he's he's he's he's probably the greatest in his era yeah you know and and so

00:06:07.160 that's all you can be like you only have your era you don't have all time you know who knows how he

00:06:15.200 would have played in the 60s when he had to damn near take a great hound to every game you know

00:06:22.680 what i mean it's like you know he's a great player but you know athletes are treated 10 times better

00:06:30.660 than they were before as far as facilities transportation you know they got masseuses 0.52

00:06:38.300 and shit you know i'm saying they got rubbing their feet you know so um better conditions 0.80

00:06:45.940 better athlete maybe you know you never know you know how would how would uh bill russell play if 0.99

00:06:52.100 he could fly fly uh fly private every game you know i mean would he have you know 15 championships

00:07:01.100 who knows i wonder that all the time specifically with sports like if you were to pick an athlete

00:07:06.440 like jesse owens and put him up against usain bolt with today's technology right in a race

00:07:12.120 or in and advancements in health would he be faster than usain bolt that the difference in

00:07:18.980 uh generational progression is fascinating to me and you you actually were a huge part of that in

00:07:26.600 at least in the hip-hop industry and uh sort of shaped the way hip-hop began and and started its

00:07:34.520 revolution in the united states do you do you look back at the impact you've made and are you

00:07:39.680 able to understand the footprint that you've left on the industry in some ways yeah but you know

00:07:46.200 you got to give credit to the ones that came before me too because they taught me how to be

00:07:53.020 a pro in this game um you know i grew up in um you know hip-hop was just starting but i but but

00:08:03.500 there was superstars already before i even started rapping so um i give i give credit to those greats

00:08:13.600 and then you know it's cool to come in and make your own mark too and uh be able to uh

00:08:21.480 you know to start you know a style a flavor or era you know um but you know i look at the people

00:08:31.640 before me too so it's hard to say you know i started anything you know i mean you definitely

00:08:38.340 it's hard it's just hard to to give myself that credit when i know you know there was

00:08:45.160 you know a decade of superstars before i even hit the map yeah but you need those flowers because

00:08:51.880 you definitely put the west coast on the map like who was doing what was the state of west

00:08:56.920 coast hip-hop prior to nwa um a bunch of guys trying to make it a bunch of groups trying to

00:09:06.240 blow up um you got you know the hottest group out here before nwa was a was a group called uh

00:09:15.460 the la dream team and you know they actually did an album called king kings of the west coast

00:09:23.700 because they were so hot out here.

00:09:25.900 And so everybody thought those was going to be the guys that, you know,

00:09:30.660 their music was more radio-friendly.

00:09:35.100 You know, their rhymes and their hip-hop was danceable.

00:09:39.800 It was popping.

00:09:41.780 And, you know, the underground groups were struggling.

00:09:45.800 And then you had people like King T, who was doing hardcore hip-hop.

00:09:53.700 You know, so-called gangster rap, even before N.W.A.

00:09:58.960 You had Ice-T, of course. 0.57

00:10:01.100 He was the first one to take it nationwide because he was embraced by the New York, you know, from the Zulu Nation to all the Karas Ones, just the New York, you know, the best groups at the time. 0.94

00:10:18.140 Ice-T shot me. 0.97

00:10:19.940 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:10:21.720 I forgot about that.

00:10:22.660 Ice-T shot me.

00:10:23.420 They killed me on Law & Order SVU. 1.00

00:10:25.440 Oh, okay. 0.99

00:10:26.040 I was about to say, damn, what you do? 0.99

00:10:28.600 You must have messed with one of his dogs, you know what I mean? 0.99

00:10:30.660 He loved them dogs.

00:10:32.200 But he shot you on the show?

00:10:35.520 Dude, I have such an embarrassing story.

00:10:37.740 So embarrassing.

00:10:38.760 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:39.140 I was on Law & Order SVU.

00:10:41.260 It was my first role I got in traditional Hollywood, anything.

00:10:45.800 And this guy comes up to me, and he says something like,

00:10:49.280 hey, how you doing, man?

00:10:51.580 Good luck on your scene today.

00:10:52.680 And I was like, oh, thanks, dude.

00:10:55.300 What's your role here?

00:10:57.520 And it was Ice-T. 0.99

00:10:58.940 Oh, damn. 1.00

00:11:00.140 Yeah. 1.00

00:11:00.680 And he goes, he laughs at me.

00:11:03.460 He goes, all right, man.

00:11:04.900 And then walks away. 0.94

00:11:06.260 Then in this scene, he gets to shoot me and he kills my character. 0.96

00:11:09.560 I was a bad guy. 0.88

00:11:10.520 He was probably so out.

00:11:11.120 He probably liked that.

00:11:12.580 He probably like, you know what? 1.00

00:11:13.980 Let me shoot him. 1.00

00:11:15.920 And rewrite this scene. 0.99

00:11:17.260 Sorry, I had to mention that because that was my first taste of Hollywood

00:11:20.880 getting shot by a legend.

00:11:22.680 terrible taste pretty good you know to get shot by iced tea everybody can't say that it was cool

00:11:27.660 it was cool it could have been vanilla ice or something like that no i got shot by a legend

00:11:31.700 yeah yeah for sure you talked you talked about east coast and obviously like new york city

00:11:36.480 started hip-hop right like we could all agree on that right and and years later there would be this

00:11:41.860 massive uh you know beef between pak and biggie and you know east and west but what was the

00:11:47.500 relationship like with east coast hip-hop when you guys started like did you guys have a relationship

00:11:52.520 with them or was there conversation we was fans you know we were fans we studied you know the best

00:12:00.500 groups out there everything that was coming out of new york we studied it and um embraced it

00:12:07.600 and um sharpened our tools you know with with those great artists those great records we

00:12:16.460 sharpened our tools you know but we wanted to kind of carve our own lane because doing

00:12:23.440 imitations of what they were doing wasn't working for us so we started to carve our own lane it's 0.96

00:12:29.340 just like let's just talk about the shit that's going on in the hood let's just talk about what's 0.93

00:12:34.040 going on around here and if we just become neighborhood stars that's good enough that's 0.99

00:12:39.820 better than what that's better than what we are now and shit you know so once we did that that's 0.95

00:12:46.880 when we got our niche everybody really started to pay attention and we love new york and we was 0.95

00:12:54.340 embraced by the east coast um but it was an undercurrent in the industry of people who

00:13:03.340 you know thought that our our records was too hard you know our records was uh you know not

00:13:11.760 real hip-hop you know i mean it was just kind of just uh like street records and and so um

00:13:19.900 that was just kind of in the industry you know with the with the writers and the djs and the

00:13:25.980 and the people that made the industry kind of click and then it kind of reverberated a little

00:13:32.500 to the artists you know i think you know before biggie and pop you know uh tim dog had a record

00:13:39.060 called fuck compton um and that was just kind of out of the blue and so it was just you know those

00:13:46.580 kind of things just uh kind of came to a head with biggie and pop right right yeah i was gonna ask 0.64

00:13:54.800 uh because you know as someone who at least would like to consider myself a trailblazer in a sense

00:14:00.540 kind of just hacking away in this forest no no real blueprint for what we're doing you did that

00:14:05.720 on such a grand scale but how did you and your boys have the balls to essentially give the middle

00:14:15.140 finger to traditional media who was trying to make this narrative go a certain way when it came to 0.68

00:14:19.480 hip-hop especially in the face of back then racism well we knew like at the time nobody was paying

00:14:27.960 attention to what we was doing and saying we felt like we was just talking to each other

00:14:33.100 and so they didn't matter you know and we realized they don't matter and we'd still be underground

00:14:42.380 if they didn't come you know worried about you know what we was doing you see what i'm saying

00:14:48.860 so um that was our attitude is we're not worried about them because they're not our audience they're

00:14:57.020 not the ones that's gonna um benefit off this or they're not the ones that go through what we go

00:15:05.740 through so they not they don't understand because we knew what we talked what we was talking about

00:15:12.600 was real but we knew they didn't understand and so we didn't care because they was just lame you

00:15:20.180 know i mean they just they don't get it they're not us they're not going through it so why should

00:15:26.160 we ever listened to to them i guess just because i don't know like the authorities or or people

00:15:33.860 painting you the wrong way in the limelight that didn't worry you guys not at all because that was

00:15:39.480 happening anyway you know you don't have to do nothing for the police to mess with you you know

00:15:45.320 i'm saying so that was happening anyway so why worry about what was already happening

00:15:52.260 anyway so you just do what you do and kind of let the chips fall where they may summer's coming

00:17:24.400 we didn't think we were ever gonna be big artists you know i'm saying we thought we was just gonna

00:17:30.340 stay underground that's crazy because the music was so hard we didn't think nobody was gonna

00:17:36.860 like wanna play it or wanna be a part of it unless you really understood what was going on

00:17:44.340 and so we felt like at the time it ain't gonna be too many people to understand this life or

00:17:52.020 what's going on so we probably only gonna sell a little amount of underground records did did

00:17:58.480 that lack of pressure uh that you felt prior to the commercial commercialization of hip-hop

00:18:05.640 do you think that was a funner time for you creating before it was fully embraced by like

00:18:10.440 the entire culture like did you have more fun when it was just you and your homies kind of

00:18:14.160 doing it just for yourselves and for like just for a small group of people um i don't know you

00:18:20.400 know in a way you spending somebody money that probably ain't got it so the pressure is on yeah

00:18:27.920 like easy's coming out the pocket paying for these records so we want to make sure you make

00:18:35.200 his money back so you want to make a hit record you want so there's still the pressure there

00:18:40.960 Even if we didn't know we was going to sell a lot, we wanted to at least sell enough so he can make his money back, even if he sold him out to Trump, you see, of his car.

00:18:52.740 So that was our philosophy.

00:18:56.520 And actually, you know, going through the industry, doing your thing, you know, as an artist, you get to a point where you're like, I don't care what the industry thinks.

00:19:08.680 I only care about what Ice Cube fans think, and that's the freedom.

00:19:14.840 That's when you're having the most fun, when you cannot care about charts

00:19:20.100 or sales or this or that or numbers, and you can just make your fans happy

00:19:28.300 and you worry about them.

00:19:30.620 And everybody else can come along, but I'm not thinking about them first.

00:19:35.860 I'm thinking about, you know, your fans is like your clientele.

00:19:39.960 You want to keep serving them what they love and just serve them

00:19:46.120 and everybody else will come along or not.

00:19:48.520 But these fans, they'll keep you eating.

00:19:52.120 They'll keep you relevant if you serve them and you give them what they like.

00:19:57.580 And when you can do that, I think is when you're free as an artist

00:20:02.600 to to to really explore you know your depths and the things that you you know really about

00:20:11.040 it's crazy how y'all didn't think you were going to become as big as you became you know you were

00:20:16.020 you were just you were essentially curating for your fan base but surely there was a moment where 0.98

00:20:21.120 you looked around maybe you were performing or i don't know counting your money like oh damn

00:20:26.320 i think we're on to something it was when uh mtv banned the video ah what was it which video was

00:20:33.740 it straight out of compton they they wouldn't play it and they banned it and me ran we young

00:20:42.740 we in our team we still teenagers so we don't understand how much publicity you know how much

00:20:50.400 that actually makes people want it for sure for sure you know i mean platforming anything just

00:20:56.000 draws so much attention to it and all you know easy record company they kind of understood like 0.87

00:21:03.000 this is like a oh shit moment like like they talking about this on the news you know i mean 0.91

00:21:10.020 so that just was the moment where things just blew open and and then there was no we were locals at 0.97

00:21:19.340 first you know we was just relegated to los angeles and the west coast and arizona and texas

00:21:26.320 you know it's kind of a west coast thing yeah and then and then boom you know now they want to hear

00:21:34.100 they want us in chicago they want us in detroit they want us in new jersey new york philly you

00:21:42.440 know we're we're we're nationwide you know then worldwide uh you know you got one one one uh 0.97

00:21:52.120 station in australia for a protest they played they play fuck the police for 24 hours 0.62

00:21:59.840 looped it that's kind of been like the battle cry of you know anti-police sentiment since that song

00:22:08.260 was made but but and that leads me to another question like as you guys saw this upswing of

00:22:13.320 momentum and popularity across the world you also saw an upswing and backlash and i know you know 0.92

00:22:19.560 it's probably maybe easier for you to sit here now and say like we didn't really give a fuck what 0.99

00:22:24.240 anybody else said we were just making music for the fans but bro this shit got to senate y'all 0.98

00:22:28.680 like two senate floors y'all were the first people to be canceled like gangster rap was one of the 0.96

00:22:34.840 first groups of people to be effectively like tried to at least be canceled yeah what was that

00:22:39.500 what was that time like because i i always remember the beginning of that um bone thug song uh we're

00:22:45.240 not against uh we're not against rap we're not against rap rappers but we are against those

00:22:50.280 thugs yeah how did it feel to be like labeled thugs and to be labeled like criminals and just

00:22:54.820 and that was all your your value was um i mean we had to grow up fast you know because now we're

00:23:03.180 would go from being living our dream to now being political um spokesman for our generation um so

00:23:16.160 i was ready for it because my favorite artist was that anyway you know people like chuck d

00:23:24.180 and KRS-One, even George Clinton, you know,

00:23:31.200 they was Rebels, Bootsy Collins, Rick James, James Brown,

00:23:37.260 you know, the Rebel mentality.

00:23:39.860 So I was ready for it, and I embraced it.

00:23:44.780 And, you know, I had wrote a lot of the songs,

00:23:49.580 me, DOC, MC Ren, and so I understood the focus, and so I was able to just let people

00:24:02.760 know that this was really happening, we're not just making up lyrics, we're putting it 0.98

00:24:10.820 in music, sometimes we put it in a comical form, but we're still talking about real shit 0.88

00:24:18.580 that go on and so you're not going to discredit that just because you don't want to hear it or 0.72

00:24:25.520 it makes you nervous or you don't think it should be on a record or whatever you know i'm saying you 0.91

00:24:31.680 just can't deny that it exists and you can't deny that this shit we're doing is way more positive 0.90

00:24:38.800 than the crimes that we're talking about on the record right you know we was just going out doing 0.95

00:24:45.380 that we'd be criminals you know but now we're artists because we're able to paint a picture

00:24:51.520 interesting and that conversation has continued i mean you're seeing it now with like ysl and thug

00:24:57.600 and like all those guys like do you think there is ever a time where you know a record can can be 0.74

00:25:06.060 used uh effectively in a court of law or do you think that that music is always i think it's dumb

00:25:10.720 You know, it's like pulling in Arnold Schwarzenegger and saying, you know, you did this movie Terminator and you killed cops in there.

00:25:21.740 So we want to bring you in for questions.

00:25:24.820 I mean, we want to try you for that.

00:25:26.820 Or bringing in somebody like Stephen King and saying, hey, you wrote this scary-ass book and you got to be held accountable for Chapter 7 of The Shining. 0.99

00:25:43.860 you know what I'm saying it's kind of like that's that's how stupid it is to to pull a rapper in 0.99

00:25:50.620 and say these lyrics you know uh point to to to you know you're a criminal because you wrote 0.99

00:26:00.220 wrote lyrics like this now there's always a separation there's music shit and there's street 0.99

00:26:08.320 shit now if artists don't realize he's a music he's in the music business and continues to do 0.99

00:26:16.300 street shit then you got street shit consequences to that so that's a whole different thing you 0.99

00:26:24.620 know it's kind of like but you know i can't be on trial for one thing and then somebody start 0.98

00:26:32.240 pulling out you know lyrics from america's most wanted in 1990 and started saying you said this 0.91

00:26:40.020 so you must have did what they're accusing you of you know that's bullshit i want to i want to 0.94

00:26:46.500 back up a little bit and talk about how you uh dre and and easy like came together like how did 0.93

00:26:52.700 y'all link up to to create nwa in the first place um i met dre when i was uh about 14 years old

00:27:02.500 and so he uh his cousin used to live down the street from me a dude named sir jinx and um

00:27:11.340 i started rapping and and you know i got better and better and then one day he came over

00:27:18.000 to jinx house for barbecue or something and uh and then i he was able to hear me rap now dre was

00:27:25.720 already he was already part of the wrecking crew they was already doing parties all over the city

00:27:31.980 he was djing he had a record out called uh dr dre and surgery and so he was like the most famous

00:27:40.900 person we all knew and so to he heard me he heard me rap and he and he just liked me and so

00:27:50.000 you know he started to come over more and more and you know i started helping him write rhymes

00:28:00.060 for the wrecking crew and you know some of the rhymes we we wrote actually got them a little more

00:28:07.180 um status in the city and so dre used to do these mixtapes called traffic jams for the radio you

00:28:16.780 know like 15 minute mix while you in traffic and whatever you know and it was new and so he would

00:28:24.300 want he want people to rap on the front of it because he got tired of making these four track

00:28:29.440 things so he would ask me to rap and um i started rapping it wasn't a record so i started rapping

00:28:36.860 about the neighborhood and that just caught on like people wanted more and more and more of that

00:28:43.660 and so we kind of found our niche and then easy him and dre knew each other they used to do parties

00:28:52.340 in compton high back in the day but they fell out easy start you know they started uh doing this

00:28:58.360 thing and shit you know in the streets and so they looked they they lost contact but anyway 0.71

00:29:04.640 these mixtapes was going around 0.89

00:29:06.580 EZ found out that Dre

00:29:08.600 was involved with putting them together

00:29:10.600 so EZ found Dre

00:29:12.800 and he

00:29:14.760 just started hanging paying attention

00:29:16.400 and EZ wanted to be

00:29:18.700 a manager he wanted

00:29:20.620 to have

00:29:22.580 rappers and have a label and all

00:29:24.740 that. Business side. Yeah

00:29:26.360 and he brought in these

00:29:28.660 rappers you know it's in the movie he brought in these

00:29:30.680 rappers from New York

00:29:32.500 and

00:29:33.520 he asked me to write a song for him

00:29:36.660 because I had wrote a hit song for

00:29:38.660 with

00:29:39.880 the record crew so

00:29:42.120 he

00:29:44.120 I wrote a song for him and they hated it 1.00

00:29:46.920 they hated the shit 0.99

00:29:48.220 it was called Boys in the Hood 1.00

00:29:49.900 and then EZ

00:29:50.840 EZ ended up doing the record because Dre convinced

00:29:54.780 him like you got a voice 1.00

00:29:56.700 man fuck this manager shit 1.00

00:29:58.300 you got a voice you got a style 1.00

00:30:00.900 you got flavor man do it

00:30:02.320 and so he ended up doing it and rest is history you know so crazy yeah and you guys end up having

00:30:08.360 this like fruitful you know obviously you know trio and relationship for a long time

00:30:12.720 but eventually by way of you know business dealings and other situationships situations

00:30:18.800 you guys kind of end up having a falling out you and yeah easy um and you know you fast forward a

00:30:26.120 little bit of time after that and he you know passes and becomes one of the you know most

00:30:30.000 influential people on the west coast ever passed at the time well still to this day um what was

00:30:35.280 your relationship like with easy at the time of his passing like had you guys found a way to to

00:30:40.760 reconcile or we had just reconciled um you know i met easy in 80 84 and um

00:30:53.480 he he put out the record boys in the hood in late 85 um we did more records in 86 and 87

00:31:05.000 but by 89 i had left so i really knew it for five five years and it was it was

00:31:16.960 mixed more with business than just hanging you know even though we were hanging and kicking it

00:31:24.740 but all of it was wrapped around the music industry so when we broke up I hadn't seen him

00:31:31.560 for years because I'm doing my thing he's doing his it ain't really friendly um but then I saw

00:31:39.880 him at a at a club in new york called the tunnel and um he was with bone thugs and harmony they was

00:31:47.780 just blowing up you know they had a crossroads that come out and it was just huge so

00:31:54.820 we we got a chance to talk we just sat and talked and we talked for hours just about old times you

00:32:03.580 You know, could we get it back together?

00:32:05.720 He was beefing with Dre by then and Death Row.

00:32:09.280 And I was like, yo, you know, work that out and I'm here, you know.

00:32:13.600 And then that was the last time I seen him.

00:32:18.720 And so, last time I seen him alive. 0.98

00:32:22.740 And so, it was cool to be able to finally just get all that shit behind us. 0.98

00:32:31.580 You know what I'm saying? 0.98

00:32:32.120 and laugh and joke and have drinks 0.99

00:32:36.080 and, you know, be talking about shit that happened 0.90

00:32:39.720 and get a chance to have that time with him 0.99

00:32:43.140 before he passed away.

00:32:44.900 Man, time does really heal all wounds.

00:32:47.080 It do.

00:32:47.680 And it's not always easy to just hope

00:32:50.080 that that's going to be the case

00:32:51.400 because time takes time.

00:32:54.060 Yeah.

00:32:54.400 Things happen slow sometimes.

00:32:55.860 Mixing business and friendship, you know,

00:32:58.320 sometimes can get tricky.

00:32:59.620 that's real it does um and you know if we was friends before we did music together then i think

00:33:10.740 uh maybe it turned out different but you know it was kind of a business relationship in a lot of

00:33:18.620 ways um even though we had a lot of fun together you know for sure i considered him you know at the

00:33:25.820 in a friend

00:33:27.280 and not

00:33:30.020 just, you know,

00:33:32.020 the leader of NWA.

00:33:34.440 You know what I mean?

00:33:35.420 There's a...

00:33:37.460 I hesitate to even ask you this, but I want to.

00:33:40.480 There's a conspiracy

00:33:41.840 theory

00:33:43.800 online involving

00:33:45.640 Shug Knight. Oh, yeah, what's that?

00:33:48.580 So... 1.00

00:33:49.360 Oh, fuck. 1.00

00:33:51.920 So, obviously, like, Shug and 1.00

00:33:53.520 Eric were beefing, right?

00:33:55.820 as you as you said with easy easy and shook and um easy obviously ended up passing away

00:34:03.240 as a result of complications of of aids yeah it's virus right and uh there's this there was

00:34:10.140 this interview done with suge i don't remember exactly when it was when he talked about how you

00:34:16.560 got to kind of get creative in how you kill someone like you can't just like shoot somebody

00:34:22.080 right like okay and and the way that he described yeah his preferred method of of taking care of

00:34:29.340 somebody was was eerily reminiscent or or um like like similar to to like how easy passed 0.56

00:34:38.320 by the way this keep in mind this is not my fucking conspiracy bro like this is an online 0.71

00:34:44.140 conspiracy that i've just read about and i wanted to ask you about like your thoughts on that are 0.95

00:34:48.340 you saying suge knight gave easy potential they're saying that the conspiracy says that

00:34:53.560 suge knight could have potentially been the person that gave easy aids through it how would

00:34:57.720 he do it through an intravenous needle and and and easy would never tell anybody that maybe easy

00:35:03.620 didn't even know because you just you just poke somebody like and and they don't even know maybe 0.99

00:35:08.100 they were at a club or some shit you know no i think if somebody poke you one of them goddamn 1.00

00:35:13.880 news you know you know stupid ass you know i mean i told everybody i would ask i'm just saying 1.00

00:35:21.320 you know just just say this happened easy would tell somebody this motherfucker poked me with 1.00

00:35:28.780 some shit no but it does happen it does happen in clubs remember dylan what didn't it used to 0.99

00:35:32.980 be a thing for a while where like people were doing that and like you you might not if he was 0.99

00:35:36.940 unconscious and i don't know you know it's like i don't know um it just sounds crazy um

00:35:45.520 i mean it just sound like it if if easy would have known he got poked he would have said something

00:35:54.300 um if he didn't know he got poked then the conspiracy lives on what do you put it past 0.94

00:36:01.720 I don't push shit past nobody 0.98

00:36:04.040 I was gonna ask 0.99

00:36:05.440 isn't Suge a little unhinged 0.63

00:36:06.960 I don't know 0.66

00:36:08.120 he ran someone over like twice

00:36:10.420 he ran him over and then backed over him again

00:36:13.900 I don't know about that

00:36:15.140 but all I know is

00:36:17.720 he still doesn't know

00:36:19.920 it doesn't matter

00:36:21.040 I mean at the end of the day

00:36:23.140 it is what it is

00:36:24.320 I can't say somebody's unhinged

00:36:26.860 I had one

00:36:28.340 Suge Knight story

00:36:30.200 uh kind of like my iced tea story i i was coming to la for the first time i was still in college i

00:36:35.420 was 18 and i didn't know who shook night was i went to uh studio 71 my first agency that signed

00:36:42.880 me and manager jeff was there and we were meeting in the boardroom and i hear some screaming outside

00:36:48.300 some like some shit's going down and it there was i walk out i peek my head out this this

00:36:52.840 conference room and there's suge knight and cat williams shaking down the ceo of studio 71 talk 0.99

00:36:59.740 about where's my money i need my money now and i'm like jeff what the fuck is going on and jeff 0.59

00:37:05.940 my manager who's like you know he's experienced in hollywood i'm not just i'm some dude from 0.88

00:37:09.940 ohio with like mose lawns he's like that's suge knight and cat williams and i'm like who's suge

00:37:14.560 knight and that's when i got the brief on who this dude is yeah and then we stayed in the

00:37:17.980 conference room one of the funniest stories i heard i don't know if it's true or not i just

00:37:22.720 heard it is that uh suge had a had an apartment full of producers and

00:37:30.300 i guess they wasn't coming up with the right songs and he gathered them all up and said look

00:37:39.060 either y'all start producing some hits or i'm gonna start producing some hits

00:37:44.320 see that's why i started thinking myself maybe my question's not that dumb you know what i'm

00:37:49.660 saying like there's a lot of conspiracies around that was a pretty good one there's a lot of 0.64

00:37:55.360 conspiracies around involving involving park involving everybody big man i mean the man to

00:38:01.780 tell you what he did you need to get an interview with shug he'll tell you is there a chance we can

00:38:05.740 get him i mean he's locked up right for running people over well for a number of things he's still 0.98

00:38:10.980 in prison right yeah yeah he's still in i wouldn't ask that question if he was out of prison damn

00:38:15.540 i mean he'd answer it you know i'm saying he seemed pretty open you uh slight detour are you

00:38:21.500 into conspiracies at all i believe in some of them yeah which ones yeah most of them

00:38:28.120 how the pyramids get built i mean i don't know about that i wasn't there me either

00:38:34.740 what what other big ones oh do you believe in ufos um yeah i do do you believe that there

00:38:42.920 could potentially be like footage for example of like a ufo landing that someone's like hiding and

00:38:47.100 not sharing no yeah oh you don't think so i don't think nobody's hiding nothing like that and not

00:38:52.920 sharing really not nowadays everything gets out everything gets out are you an elon musk fan

00:38:59.240 uh i wouldn't call myself a fan anti-fan hater no i'm not a hater either just neutral i'm just

00:39:06.560 neutral yeah i just look at the guy he's doing some pretty crazy stuff and uh you know i i

00:39:12.860 I catch myself looking at him sometimes, too.

00:39:15.200 Yeah, I mean, you know, he's a smart cat at the head of, you know, 0.99

00:39:21.260 a lot of cutting-edge shit, so you want to see what he's thinking. 0.97

00:39:26.580 We should have him on. 0.99

00:39:27.940 I know, obviously, full-sign.

00:39:28.900 I just don't know if it's that easy.

00:39:30.480 I think we can get him.

00:39:31.600 I think here's what we should do.

00:39:32.900 I think we should get him on, and I think we should do me, you, Cube, and Elon.

00:39:36.740 No problem.

00:39:37.060 Would you be down for that?

00:39:38.120 Yeah.

00:39:38.360 do you are you a fan of anyone nowadays in pop culture in any realm like you're paying attention

00:39:45.340 to him going okay i like what this person's doing maybe not elon musk in his in his neural link

00:40:47.940 i don't you know so they work out deals do you remember drake opening for you i don't remember

00:40:53.980 that but i i do remember somebody bringing a cd on my bus from a youngster in toronto 0.66

00:41:04.000 and the shit was pretty damn good yeah that's what i remember and i keep thinking that had to

00:41:10.000 be drake's yeah where do you put where do you play him in terms of like the i know you don't 0.99

00:41:14.780 like superlatives and best ofs but like where do you put drake in terms of like hip-hop in general

00:41:18.960 i mean he's amazing yeah you know guys like him and kanye and you know anybody who can i mean even

00:41:27.560 Lil' John, people like, anybody who can do

00:41:29.520 their own beats and

00:41:30.700 lyrics, like, they gotta

00:41:33.060 they gotta

00:41:34.480 they gotta something most people

00:41:37.400 don't have, most people go get producers

00:41:39.500 and they have to be produced

00:41:41.400 you know, guys that can actually

00:41:42.960 do everything from scratch

00:41:45.080 you know, it's just next level

00:41:47.440 it's like a guy that can play

00:41:48.960 football and

00:41:50.400 basketball in the pros

00:41:53.040 I've always been

00:41:54.420 a huge fan and had so much

00:41:57.120 respect for multifaceted people especially creatives and and this is a good pivot actually

00:42:02.200 because i wanted to ask you who you are you're rapping right and then eventually you you're

00:42:06.700 doing a business acumen but i think the the thing the asterisk with you that not a lot of people

00:42:11.940 have is the creative side of you you know yeah you're creative you like to write yeah and uh

00:42:17.380 none of them can do what i do no it's that's the that's all the things that's awesome to be able

00:42:23.440 to say that like convincingly because when you say it it's like immediately believed and it's

00:42:28.300 credible what's unreplicable you can't you can't creativity is that that that thing you know you

00:42:32.760 can't quantify it you just have it and i'm wondering when you realized you you were able

00:42:39.020 to contribute more than just your rapping in a really significant way like had you written for

00:42:43.680 a bunch of people you had these hit records or when you know once i realized like what what

00:42:50.300 what makes it all worth it for me like what what actually is it that turned me on about

00:42:56.680 this industry and what i'm doing and it's not it's not the outcome it's the create it's it's the

00:43:06.440 creating in the moment you know i mean so i love creating and so you know to be able to do it on

00:43:16.220 record or movie or write a script or whatever is is what's cool is actually you know it's it's the

00:43:25.540 it's the uh it's the chef that wants to cook the food but might not eat the food you know i'm saying

00:43:30.520 he just want to set it out and let everybody else enjoy it you know i'm saying so um that's what

00:43:37.540 turns me on so that's that's the engine that keeps everything rolling and that's what keeps me

00:43:45.500 inspired is is the creative process so although i think that's the healthiest place to land for

00:43:54.000 creatives because as you know you're just making stuff all the time and you can't become too

00:43:59.380 outcome dependent because i think that can really fuck with your mind surely though you want your 0.71

00:44:06.620 products to be received well right or are you completely indifferent to releasing a song a 0.56

00:44:12.460 movie and getting critiqued well i mean you want it to be received well i mean but at the end of

00:44:19.980 the day it's not up to you yeah like um you know a person that put a painting on the wall

00:44:29.520 he can't really care what you think about it he gone like he's doing the next painting

00:44:35.420 yeah it's you that's looking at it and you have to interpret it and you have to live with it and

00:44:42.000 do whatever you're going to do with it but he's not really concerned because like he's off to the

00:44:48.460 next painting you know i'm saying so it's it's taking that it's taking that attitude but of

00:44:56.080 course you want people to like it you want people to be able to enjoy it over and over and over again

00:45:01.520 um but you know if we watch the same movie at the same time we're not seeing the same movie

00:45:11.140 because the parts that we don't see that we have to make up in our head

00:45:16.780 about the character and about the story, it's all different. 0.99

00:45:20.940 In my mind, the character took the bus to the damn spot. 0.97

00:45:25.640 In your mind, he got a ride from his girl. 0.99

00:45:28.160 In his mind, he jumped in his Lambo and got to the...

00:45:30.780 So everybody is seeing a different movie,

00:45:34.140 even if we're watching the same movie.

00:45:35.920 So we can't really be caught up in the outcome.

00:45:38.660 But you did do an incredible job of portraying a part of the world that people were very curious about, and that being South L.A., Compton in general, in a time where you've said in the past, every movie that was coming out, whether it was Colors, whether it was Boys in the Hood, painted the hood out to be this menacing, dark place.

00:46:05.980 and that from what i understand that was the reason why you got the confidence and the idea

00:46:12.300 and the creative behind writing friday yeah because if you live in the hood you laughing

00:46:17.360 all the time so you're like wait a minute if this is supposed to be such a dark place why are we

00:46:25.460 laughing to our side hurt because you realize it's it's just as much comedy in the hood as

00:46:35.340 it is tragedy and and people should see how much fun we had growing up too and not just

00:46:43.580 oh my god you know everything is terrible like everything is unpredictable you don't know when

00:46:50.420 it's gonna pop off but every day is not you know hell so that's what we wanted to portray in friday

00:46:59.320 like how much fun we have with this crazy life we're dealing with you know when did you

00:47:07.360 make the jump from being this like hardcore hip-hop dude to a comedy guy or or or or doing

00:47:17.900 the family films because i remember that was that was fascinating to watch you know right growing up 0.98

00:47:23.360 i mean you had this prolific hip-hop career and and i mean you're ice cube you know fucking hard 0.99

00:47:28.240 motherfucker and then you come out in these family movies and it was such a it was such an amazing 0.99

00:47:33.260 duality to watch but did you have to swallow a pill or or or maybe check something in you 0.99

00:47:41.400 because you were afraid people were gonna not maybe take you as serious anymore if you're doing

00:47:46.460 you know comedy and making jokes um no no you know at the time you know we had there friday

00:47:53.380 which made people feel the same way like man you hardcore how you gonna do a movie like friday

00:48:01.000 so but that was r-rated and then and then we did we did barbershop which was like pg-13

00:48:09.640 so it was like okay we could make them laugh in in r-rated we can make them laugh in a pg-13

00:48:18.420 Can we make them laugh in a PG?

00:48:20.460 PG, yeah. 0.51

00:48:21.280 Just can we get the kids?

00:48:24.180 Because I had five-year-olds running up to me saying, Craig, Smokey. 1.00

00:48:30.180 And I'm like, damn, you need a little movie for your little ass. 1.00

00:48:33.740 You don't need to be watching Craig and Smokey. 1.00

00:48:37.220 Felicia.

00:48:37.880 Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

00:48:38.900 And I realized my audience had kids.

00:48:44.780 So I'm like, okay, this is a way to stay in the family

00:48:50.000 without pops having to say, Ice Cube, man, he used to be, boy, 1.00

00:48:56.920 Ice Cube used to be the shit. 1.00

00:48:58.960 Like, you do a movie for the kids, now they know you the man. 1.00

00:49:03.420 And the thing about it, these movies live forever.

00:49:08.580 So whenever somebody has a kid, they're looking for something cool

00:49:12.840 for them to watch and it's like are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet next thing you

00:49:17.920 know these kids is 16 17 21 22 25 and they've been loving you since they was four so you still

00:49:30.700 stay relevant yeah so it's a way to to almost recycle your fans and make sure that you're

00:49:37.840 always getting new fans growing up loving for sure he made a business decision it was like it's like

00:49:44.680 the equivalent of a youtuber starting a family channel you know what i'm saying no no i'll i'll

00:49:49.240 make like a personal relation to this like i solely started tiktok because i knew how young

00:49:55.800 the demo was and and as a person in this space like i hate ever like relying on relevancy yeah

00:50:03.980 Like, to make me feel like I'm doing something important.

00:50:07.680 But at the end of the day, like, what we do, you know,

00:50:10.040 if we want to drive or move the needle, it is important to stay relevant, right?

00:50:15.560 I mean, it's important to stay interesting.

00:50:18.020 Bingo, yep, totally.

00:50:19.060 You know what I'm saying?

00:50:19.720 I like that word better.

00:50:21.540 Like, relevant makes it seem like you'll do anything just to get some attention.

00:50:28.620 But, you know, when they see you, if you're interesting, you should be all right.

00:50:33.980 yeah yeah for sure but i i do think it's important like i i'm a i'm a veteran in this

00:50:40.300 internet space at this point like i've been doing this stuff i get so weird to say

00:50:44.400 professionally for like 10 years now like a full decade which is still you know relatively new but

00:50:50.480 i'm more aware now of the the type of content i create per platform and the type of audience

00:50:58.500 that it's capturing and i'm thinking 10 years from now right when the 10 year old who likes prime

00:51:04.680 uh is 20 they'll have grown up drinking my drink yeah and that's cool you know there's there's a

00:51:10.400 lot of value in that in that longevity it is and you know as long as you as long as it's authentic

00:51:16.400 content you know i'm saying and it's not you don't want the tail wagging the dog yeah good yeah well

00:51:23.300 i've been there too yeah you know it's it it's a double-edged sword um because i think unlike you

00:51:30.160 i was i was outcome dependent for a while you know i think we all were we all you know

00:51:37.940 you start like that because that's what the business you know entails you know i'm saying

00:51:45.640 they want the outcome you're not gonna make it 10 years if you're not doing the numbers yeah

00:51:50.940 but you get to a point where it becomes about your audience your real audience not the ones

00:51:58.800 that pop in every now and then but the ones that's there all the time and you just hyper feed them

00:52:05.020 and everybody else will get in where they fit in well and your name i feel like starts to carry

00:52:09.860 weight you know like for the longest time like you're you're looking at all these like uh vanity 0.74

00:52:14.720 numbers how many followers all this type of shit but eventually like for you two you know cube you 0.83

00:52:20.400 especially bro like to be able to say yo we got ice cube in our movie or we got ice cube on this 0.97

00:52:25.000 or on this business play this this or that they're not saying like yo how many views did he get on 1.00

00:52:29.540 his last instagram story they don't give a fuck about that shit it's fucking ice cube bro you 1.00

00:52:33.660 know what i'm saying so i think like eventually that's like the highest tier of celebrity is when 1.00

00:52:39.700 you reach a point where your name has legacy clout to it regardless of what you've done in the past 0.59

00:52:44.480 fucking month or or three days you know what i'm saying yeah you know what it is is uh it all comes 0.73

00:52:49.820 down to quality you know people want quality you know when people pick it up they want it 0.98

00:52:56.180 to be what they used to you know i mean they don't want you to cut corners so you might not 0.94

00:53:03.360 like it all the time but you know it's gonna be quality you know like it's not gonna be bullshit

00:53:09.960 you know i'm saying you might not like every rose royce that come out but you know it's not a piece 0.98

00:53:17.280 of shit yeah you know it's quality so whenever you decide you'll go grab one you know i mean

00:53:24.520 like so that's really what it's all about letting you know doing work giving people quality never 0.99

00:53:31.900 giving them shit you wouldn't buy or take and and um and being consistent and um and then they'll

00:53:42.380 that that name recognition to hold the weight like you hear the word steven spielberg and you 0.99

00:53:48.820 know you might not love the subject matter but you know it's not going to be thrown together

00:53:54.380 the quality is going to be there martin scorsese you know the quality is going to be there you

00:53:59.680 know i mean antoine fuqua yeah you know the quality is going to be there and if they miss

00:54:04.320 on one picture he's they're still who they are you know what i'm saying yeah you know uh so

00:54:09.340 to me that's really what it comes down to is the quality and people they like it they like quality

00:54:17.140 and then long as you give them quality they will uh continue to support you and if you do it good

00:54:23.900 enough for a long enough period of time that's that's called brand building yes and and then

00:54:29.020 you know again a decade later you might have a pretty strong brand if you were able to have a

00:54:33.400 lot of hits and a lot of w's along the way without a doubt i'm curious because you used um you use

00:54:40.340 music as a vehicle for your creativity and then it pivoted uh uh to hollywood traditional media

00:54:48.760 and then social media came out right in the early 2000s did you ever feeling yourself wanting to

00:54:57.140 express your creativity on social media media like did that did that um revolution

00:55:02.240 like of connectivity i guess uh interest you at all yeah um you know it does but you know i'm a guy

00:55:13.760 who likes to kind of go in the lab and then come back out with something cool yeah yeah quality

00:55:23.540 you know what I mean and I'm not I'm not the guy who's like with the cam in the lab showing you how

00:55:30.940 everything is coming together you know I mean I think I just don't feel comfortable with people

00:55:37.140 really seeing things unfinished so you know doing something every day didn't really like turn me on

00:55:48.740 you know but i like to i like to use it as a promotional vehicle like yo this is what's

00:55:55.660 coming get ready here it come yeah come while i you know go in the lab and cook up cook up

00:56:02.660 something cool you know i'm saying i'm like a guy who um you won't see me out a lot you only see me

00:56:10.240 out if i got something cool to present or yo i got this coming out or check this out or you know

00:56:17.520 because I think that's what it's all about. 0.99

00:56:19.580 You know, like, who gives a damn if I go to the fucking Oscars and shit, 0.99

00:56:24.240 if I don't have a movie? 1.00

00:56:25.620 Is that why you're here?

00:56:26.720 Is that why you're here right now?

00:56:28.640 Do you have something cool going on?

00:56:29.840 Is it called Big Three?

00:56:30.160 Of course, Big Three, baby.

00:56:31.300 Yeah, I wanted to talk about it.

00:56:33.080 Yeah, Big Three, you know.

00:56:35.720 You know, it's something that's just a passion play, you know.

00:56:40.220 As a fan is why the Big Three is here because I wanted to see it, you know.

00:56:44.740 And I felt like there's a lot of cool people who want to see something cool in the summer. 0.98

00:56:49.180 The summer sometimes is boring as fuck when it comes to sports. 0.98

00:56:55.880 Like, you know, like I love baseball, but mid-season baseball is like, okay, like preseason football, summer league, NBA, you know, it's like, you know, somebody killed me. 0.98

00:57:11.840 So tell them what big three is.

00:57:14.500 Big three, professional three-on-three.

00:57:17.940 Basketball, this is our sixth year.

00:57:21.020 What's cool is we're going around back to arenas.

00:57:23.840 That was how the model was built, going from city to city.

00:57:28.160 Twelve teams.

00:57:30.240 We're starting to sell teams too,

00:57:31.740 so we got a couple of cool, very smart owners

00:57:41.280 that's, you know, looking to buy teams

00:57:43.260 and put the teams in different cities.

00:57:46.120 So the league is growing, man.

00:57:48.380 You know, back on CBS and Paramount+.

00:57:52.860 Yeah, I was going to ask where it airs.

00:57:55.520 CBS, Paramount+, all summer long.

00:57:57.780 Yeah, live. 1.00

00:57:58.560 What's going on with the ball hogs? 1.00

00:58:00.880 Oh, man.

00:58:01.600 They're having a tough time this season, bro.

00:58:04.360 What are they, one in five?

00:58:06.120 Well, you know, they haven't had a great season

00:58:09.060 since our existence.

00:58:10.800 you know i'm saying you know they they uh like the little giants yeah you know um but but you

00:58:17.300 know they they got a nice fan base people root for them and uh we think this year may be different

00:58:24.360 for them well it don't seem like it so far wait so what's the team that that keeps winning what's

00:58:30.000 their trilogy bro they're nasty yeah yeah they they just uh three-peated not three-peated but

00:58:36.160 they won three out of five championships so they're like our little dynasty you know what

00:58:44.020 i'm saying in the league so it's like this it's like this half court three on three like old

00:58:48.780 school like you know basketball style but it's also i hesitate to say this because i know i

00:58:54.560 already mentioned the shook knight conspiracy conspiracy thing so i don't want to do it again

00:58:58.640 but when i see it you got the four point zones four point circle which is so sick yeah and just

00:59:04.480 a tiny piece of it reminds me remember rock and jock back in the day where it was just fun yeah it

00:59:10.540 was just fun you know what i'm saying and you'd watch and it would just be a good time to just

00:59:13.760 watch rock and jock now of course it's not with celebrities it's with real retired but we have as

00:59:19.940 much fun yeah you know we can trash talk yeah you know guys could beat themselves um and hey you

00:59:26.900 got to come ready to play like if you got any weaknesses it's gonna get exposed you know i'm

00:59:32.960 saying so we've had some nba guys getting locked up out there and they they was like this is

00:59:39.240 different right yeah it's the same thing what you mean locked up like physically like a leg i mean

00:59:43.740 no i mean like couldn't score oh right yeah you know you can't be a specialist can't be a three

00:59:51.480 point specialist in three on three you got to be able to pass dribble shoot defend and any any

00:59:57.920 recruits like dream players you have yeah man we're trying to get boogie cousins trying to get

01:00:03.480 isaiah thomas lou williams um you know some of the guys who we think should still be in the nba but

01:00:11.580 for whatever reason you know they're not they're not there and so they should come play for us

01:00:18.260 they can showcase their talents uh on cbs you know instead of going overseas when nobody gonna

01:07:14.940 i don't want to be working well and you want to be thinking about what to what to do creative

01:07:19.900 wait can i about what to do can i ask you two friday related questions selfishly

01:07:24.740 one is uh i read somewhere that chris rock was originally considered for smoky's role

01:07:31.100 no no not chris rock it was uh that's what i read damn it was tommy davidson oh yeah tommy 0.70

01:07:38.660 davidson i think it said both of them it said chris rock too i read on wikipedia are they liar

01:07:42.680 it could be conspiracy yeah wikipedia yeah yeah but how do you think that would imagine if chris

01:07:47.900 rock had done it do you think the movie would have been as successful

01:07:50.500 no no i don't you know i think uh smoky was the perfect actor at the time and

01:08:01.060 nobody wanted him like the studio didn't want him the director he had to do acting lessons

01:08:08.480 yeah i mean well i had to bring him in to to do a you know to sit down with me and we're gonna just

01:08:14.780 kind of go over some lines and riff and and when they saw that then everybody was convinced he was

01:08:21.880 the guy but i had seen him on um on a deaf comedy jam yeah that russell simmons used to do on hbo

01:08:29.860 and i was like this dude got the flavor he got the flavor of this crazy character but you know

01:08:37.900 Originally, before any of them, it was supposed to be DJ Poo, who played Red, who helped me write it.

01:08:46.560 He was supposed to be Smokey, but New Line, they said he hadn't done any movies,

01:08:53.160 so they just didn't see him as the co-star having that much screen time, and he had never done a movie.

01:09:02.480 Were you pissed about that?

01:09:04.020 I was because Pooh was one of the funniest dudes I know.

01:09:08.000 So I was like, you're not going to find nobody funnier than Pooh.

01:09:11.980 And so they just made us look, you know, they made us look for him.

01:09:17.840 Were any of the characters in Friday, like,

01:09:20.500 inspired by people from your everyday life?

01:09:22.760 Hell yeah.

01:09:23.260 Who are you?

01:09:24.420 I swear, Felicia.

01:09:26.420 Felicia. 1.00

01:09:27.020 I ain't going to say no names for they come acting for some damn money. 0.98

01:09:30.280 but yeah this 0.98

01:09:32.620 it's all people throughout my neighborhood

01:09:34.980 man like all this

01:09:37.100 stuff that happened

01:09:38.160 kind of happened

01:09:40.200 throughout growing up in my

01:09:43.160 neighborhood you know I just kind of

01:09:44.880 squoze it into one day. What'd she come asking

01:09:47.120 to borrow? Greg let me borrow your toaster

01:09:49.260 your toaster. Yeah that was

01:09:51.040 that was 0.57

01:09:51.720 one of my neighbors I don't want to say her name 1.00

01:09:55.400 cause she gonna be mad at me 1.00

01:09:56.800 you know and borrowing all kind of shit 1.00

01:09:59.360 I'm like, damn, she ain't got no limit. 1.00

01:10:04.000 I want to ask you, I guess, one last question on West Coast shit. 0.99

01:10:07.440 We talked about the past and the history of NWA and, you know, 0.98

01:10:11.780 all the stuff that happened pre, but post,

01:10:15.620 do you see anybody specifically carrying the torch for West Coast hip hop right now?

01:10:21.220 You watch it? Do you pay attention?

01:10:23.240 I don't pay a lot of attention, you know?

01:10:25.400 I mean, it's competition at the end of the day.

01:10:28.860 so yeah but you know kendrick is great um see what his tour did yeah highest grossing tour of

01:10:36.860 all time hip-hop hip-hop tour amazing so um yeah i'm not worried about it you know um we got a lot

01:10:44.540 of creative people out here that uh love hip-hop not only you know down here but in northern

01:10:52.460 in california too so you know i i just know whoever comes is gonna be creative and you're

01:11:00.280 not gonna you're not gonna make noise unless you're very creative so you gotta be you know

01:11:08.280 to to to carry the torch i have a question yeah another one go for it after all it's a podcast

01:11:15.760 you know and i'm here to ask the tough questions mr q go for it man um but we can cut this if it's

01:11:21.400 too sensitive i'm just curious because i think we've seen so much turbulence in the past

01:11:28.340 three years in um society traditional media social media um specifically with the vaccine

01:11:37.340 especially recently and on my pdf here it says that you bailed from a movie because you didn't

01:11:42.440 want to get the vaccine and i remember at the i mean i didn't bail from the movie they what the 0.89

01:11:48.500 fuck dylan no no no it's yeah okay okay they refuse to you know allow me to do the movie so 0.93

01:11:55.940 even even more kind of on the on the point of what i was saying a lot of people uh back then 0.99

01:12:00.100 who didn't want to or didn't feel comfortable getting the vaccine and putting this thing in

01:12:03.580 their body that we are finding out now didn't know enough about got canceled like literally

01:12:08.900 like from a job or on social media whatever yeah and and and it they were so targeted and even like

01:12:15.140 I'm hesitant to even say it on this podcast because of potentially the implications of what it'll do for this episode. 0.99

01:12:25.040 Don't be a bitch. 0.92

01:12:26.280 I'm just I'm just I'm just wondering, do you feel do you feel any type of way about like the hypocrisy or backpedaling of society now that we're finding out that there's a lot of holes that can be poked in the effectiveness of these vaccines that we're just finding out now that back then were forced on a lot of people. 0.99

01:12:45.080 and a lot of people got in a lot of trouble

01:12:46.640 because they didn't put this foreign substance in their body.

01:12:50.900 Yeah, I mean, you know, at the end of the day, it's a shame.

01:12:55.820 It's a shame that you was even worried about saying that.

01:12:59.940 You know what I mean?

01:13:01.200 It's a shame they got us all hesitating on...

01:13:05.080 Just to talk about something.

01:13:06.460 Stuff we know is true in our true feelings.

01:13:10.040 Like, that's what we got to get out of us.

01:13:12.120 like we can't be hesitating on our true feelings we gotta say what we mean mean what we say

01:13:18.740 people get mad so what you know that's they that's their um own issue you know i mean at

01:13:26.420 the end of the day um i'm not anti-vaccine i've been vaccinated before you know many times

01:13:35.780 throughout my life but after the studies after the the you know the the time allowed it for for

01:13:46.460 the drug to be discovered if it's effective or not it's harmful or not yeah you know 10 15 year

01:13:55.680 studies on on the medicine you're putting inside of you so when somebody come with it johnny come

01:14:02.800 lately concoction you know i'm saying it just didn't sit right with me personally i didn't

01:14:10.500 speak and tell anybody my business i think that's another problem that that whoever told my business

01:14:18.080 to the world um you know i mean felt that it was cool to be able to tell everybody oh yeah ice cube

01:14:25.820 didn't get vaxxed you know that was something i wasn't gonna say to anybody but it came out 0.73

01:14:31.480 through other sources which i think is bullshit too you know when when people are telling 0.90

01:14:37.700 your medical business publicly you know i mean employers yeah you know so so it's a lot of 0.98

01:14:47.420 problems on a lot of fronts it's an individual choice it sucks that people were pushed out of

01:14:53.620 jobs canceled family members not uh associating with their own family because of this and that's

01:15:04.480 what was stolen from us that we got to get back we got to speak our mind we got to uh let people

01:15:12.900 make their own decisions with their own uh body and we gotta uh you know really stop telling

01:15:22.780 everybody business you know i'm saying uh it's a saying if you mind your own business you live 0.53

01:15:30.380 longer and it's fucking true it's true yeah i agree i agree i think we're gonna look back at 0.58

01:15:38.120 this era specifically and realize how confused we are yeah don't censor yourself like you know you 0.83

01:15:47.040 don't censor yourself just like we gotta we gotta let it all hang out you know i mean we gotta let

01:15:53.460 it all hang out don't censor yourself that's that's that's the beginning and the end for

01:15:58.460 everybody for all of our individuality do you want to know the issue that we struggle with that's a

01:16:04.180 little bit different than the one that you guys did when you originally weren't censoring yourselves

01:16:08.340 you said what you wanted to say whatever you felt whatever you wanted to to get out and the record 0.53

01:16:14.000 label would put that shit out because you guys were either like you know close with the exact 0.98

01:16:17.660 sense i bet you sometimes they wouldn't right but the majority of time put out everything right so 0.99

01:16:21.860 maybe death row or whoever put out everything right but we are kind of at the uh mercy of the

01:16:29.440 platforms and so it's not about a desire to censor anything but unfortunately the way the world works

01:16:36.060 nowadays either you're gonna censor it or they're gonna censor it you know what i'm saying and so 0.99

01:16:41.100 and so me not as much i used to smoke crack i do enjoy fucking porn stars i'm a sick man 0.99

01:16:46.700 cube i'm a sick man i did heroin for a long time a fucked up person so i just say whatever the 0.99

01:16:51.560 fuck i want but you know we got global super celebrities that gotta think a couple times 0.99

01:16:56.400 before they say some shit but i'm happy that you sat here and you told him that because i think 0.99

01:17:00.420 he's gonna he's been he's moving back in that direction i feel like why don't you say something 0.99

01:17:04.620 fucked up right now just say something i mean you know manager jeff's right there going i'm gonna 0.96

01:17:10.140 I'm gonna say something 0.98

01:17:10.920 I'm gonna say something

01:17:11.940 I'm gonna say something crazy

01:17:13.040 I voted for 1.00

01:17:14.660 Fuck 1.00

01:17:16.100 Oh well shit 1.00

01:17:17.660 I don't know 1.00

01:17:19.220 Fuck 1.00

01:17:19.980 I don't 1.00

01:17:21.840 Well damn 0.86

01:17:22.860 I didn't think that was gonna be a thing 0.99

01:17:24.080 I think I made a mistake

01:17:25.180 Yeah maybe

01:17:25.720 I think I made a mistake

01:17:27.040 We'll try again

01:17:27.660 Oh yeah

01:17:28.480 You must be really proud of your son

01:17:30.620 Very

01:17:31.640 I'm proud of him

01:17:33.240 Yeah

01:17:33.560 I mean you know

01:17:34.660 It's

01:17:35.020 I don't even know

01:17:36.080 It's beyond words

01:17:37.000 You know

01:17:37.340 It's beyond words

01:17:38.320 He's

01:17:38.680 he's a good dude and that's really what it's all about you know i feel like you can tell i watched

01:17:44.980 straight out of compton and i saw this guy playing you at one point i thought it was a like a cgi

01:17:51.480 younger version of you that you were playing and then i realized it's your son and he killed it

01:17:56.360 right yeah and there must be a tremendous amount of weight on his shoulders to to nail this role

01:18:01.460 especially because he's your son exactly and he killed it and i approached him to do it you know

01:18:08.600 he would, I mean, he wasn't doing nothing, but having fun, spending my money.

01:18:14.340 Thinking about what to do.

01:18:15.300 You know what I mean?

01:18:15.880 Just loving life.

01:18:18.700 And he would go on tour with me, and I would let him do a song or two with me.

01:18:26.500 And so I'm like, he's killing it.

01:18:28.980 And so I knew he had the swagger to do the stage performance and all that.

01:18:35.720 and I approached him

01:18:38.220 and I'm like, yo, it looked like

01:18:40.080 the Straight Outta Compton movie is going to be real

01:18:42.300 and

01:18:43.200 I want you to play me

01:18:45.900 and he was like

01:18:47.920 he was like, okay

01:18:49.600 and I was like

01:18:51.880 that just came off a little

01:18:54.300 too easy

01:18:55.060 okay 1.00

01:18:56.960 he walked on and shit, he had his cereal 1.00

01:18:59.640 and I'm like, nah 1.00

01:19:01.220 so I said, okay, I'm going to make him quit

01:19:04.160 because I'd rather for him to quit now 0.92

01:19:09.800 and then do a half-ass job.

01:19:13.100 So I started putting him through, you know, the ringer, you know.

01:19:17.420 I'm like, you got some acting coaches here in L.A.

01:19:22.460 And then, yeah, I got an acting coach for you in New York.

01:19:25.980 And he's like, okay, I'm with it.

01:19:28.820 So then it got to a point where he started to want to go

01:19:32.480 to the acting coach

01:19:33.680 it backfires

01:19:34.960 okay so he might be serious

01:19:37.380 but then I had to tell

01:19:39.460 Gary Gray

01:19:40.500 who directed the movie

01:19:43.420 he directed Friday too

01:19:44.680 a couple of my videos

01:19:45.880 like it was a good day

01:19:47.020 so when I told him I said

01:19:48.940 I want my son to play me

01:19:50.960 he almost lost it

01:19:52.860 he was like cute 0.99

01:19:54.020 damn man 0.99

01:19:55.400 I thought we was making a real movie 1.00

01:19:57.780 this is some bullshit 1.00

01:19:59.120 what you mean 1.00

01:20:00.480 I said dude

01:20:01.440 I would not put him in this position

01:20:05.640 if I didn't think he could do it

01:20:07.980 I said you gonna help him

01:20:10.100 just like John Singleton helped me 0.90

01:20:12.800 I wasn't no damn actor

01:20:14.420 you gonna help him just like John helped me 0.86

01:20:17.500 get all the way through it

01:20:18.920 and he was like

01:20:20.060 I said he'll audition

01:20:22.120 he'll go through the whole ringer

01:20:24.540 if the movie company say he can't do it

01:20:28.740 he don't do it

01:20:30.560 so he went through the whole process now my son say when he got there to audition

01:20:35.940 he said it was four of the dudes dressed like ice cubes supposed to

01:20:41.080 audition too so he got mad then he was like they thought they was gonna take this out my

01:20:47.720 they thought they was gonna uh go in there and kill this role over me and so he got fired up

01:20:56.900 he went in there killed it was the best person for the part got the job and you know rest is

01:21:04.120 but it also it makes sense too because it just it's like another marketing aspect for the film

01:21:08.920 like i remember when they when they uh casted james gandolfini's son to play tony soprano in the

01:21:14.740 in the uh saints of newark yeah and it was just like dude and and i mean bro like

01:21:21.300 comparatively like imagine having to play your father who's since passed bro yeah in his mate

01:21:29.140 bro in in the role that defined his career like that was so much pressure on that kid

01:21:34.660 no doubt to go in there and do that i don't i don't i don't know if he did as good of a job

01:21:39.240 as your son did but like dude there's just so much like there's gotta just be so much pressure

01:21:43.440 on their shoulders in that in that role it is you know and um i mean getting it right is is

01:21:49.880 is that much relief too you know just the fact that it's working and um and you know he did it

01:21:58.500 you know i'm saying he he stepped up he did you know it's nothing like a father 0.96

01:22:05.500 asking his son to step up and do something bigger than he's ever done and and he he fucking does it 0.95

01:22:15.140 And then you'd be like, see, that's me. 0.98

01:22:19.640 You know what I mean?

01:22:20.220 Like, that's what I would have did if I was him.

01:22:23.100 And that is you because that's your son.

01:22:25.720 Did you think he did a good job of playing you?

01:22:28.740 I thought he did an amazing job.

01:22:31.120 Incredible.

01:22:31.860 And now he's in Cocaine Bear.

01:22:33.320 Yeah, now he's in, you know, he's doing movies bigger than me.
