Episode Transcript

[00:00:04] Speaker A: Yo, it's effective immediately. I'm DJ Head. [00:00:06] Speaker B: What up, Hip Hop Nation? It's your favorite homegirl, Gina Views. [00:00:08] Speaker A: We got a special guest in the studio. The homie is here. Bow Wheezy. Shy Moss, Dog. [00:00:14] Speaker C: Yeah, here. [00:00:15] Speaker B: Okay. Before we get started, I have to show you something. [00:00:17] Speaker C: You gotta show me something. [00:00:18] Speaker B: Oh, I have to show you something. [00:00:20] Speaker A: I don't know what she finished with you. I ain't gonna lie. [00:00:22] Speaker B: Okay? It's not. It's not crazy. I promise. It's not crazy. So do you remember this? [00:00:31] Speaker C: Is it you? That's you? [00:00:34] Speaker B: Yes. [00:00:34] Speaker C: Let me see. Oh, shit. [00:00:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:38] Speaker A: What is it? [00:00:38] Speaker C: You know what's crazy about this? Yo, hold on. I didn't get a chance to really look at it, but I know what this is, though. This one, I was hosting the Pre show for 160 Park. Matter of fact, yo, this really wasn't like. It don't seem like it was that too long ago. [00:00:52] Speaker B: It was 2012 or 13. [00:00:54] Speaker C: What the fuck? What the. Hey, man. That's why I always tell people, man. Like, in this business. [00:01:03] Speaker A: Let me see, let me see. Like, I literally don't know what you just showed. [00:01:07] Speaker C: Leaning on the nigga and all that look crazy. It's dope. Because, like, what year was this, bro? That's 2012. [00:01:16] Speaker B: So I have a story. [00:01:16] Speaker A: 2012. [00:01:17] Speaker B: I got a story. So that's crazy for the audience. We'll put the picture on the screen or whatever. But so obviously, like, 106 and park has always been my dream job since I was a little girl. [00:01:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:30] Speaker B: So that day, y' all did. I mean, that week, y' all did two episodes in that room. Yes, yes. So the conversation we was having in that moment, you asked me what should Kim Kardashian name her kids, and we had that little back and forth. [00:01:46] Speaker C: Okay. [00:01:46] Speaker B: So then the next day, we was in another setting, different episode, another setting. Remember, y' all was shooting all over that spot. [00:01:53] Speaker C: Yep. [00:01:54] Speaker B: And you asked a question about something like, what's the best movies in la? Or like, something like that. And I named all the hood movies. It was something like that. I forgot the exact conversation. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:05] Speaker B: But that moment is when I decided I'm doing media. [00:02:09] Speaker C: Wow. [00:02:10] Speaker B: It was that. So I stood over to the side. I was crying. I couldn't believe that I was there. Damn. It's like, I'm on 106 in park. It's my favorite show. Is you. [00:02:19] Speaker C: Damn. [00:02:20] Speaker B: You had just got hired as the host. [00:02:21] Speaker C: Yep. [00:02:22] Speaker B: And that moment, obviously, like, you know, you don't know me. Or anything, but like you said, you've been seeing our stuff. Wow. And you are the person who inspired me. It's fucking nuts to start doing media. [00:02:33] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie, bro. I'm here. But I'm finna get the out the way because I don't think you like this shit mean a lot to her, you know what I'm saying? Not that you not. I mean, you my nigga, but sure. [00:02:42] Speaker C: You already know, but like, damn. No, that's crazy. It's like. That's what I was just saying. Like, when she showed me that picture, like, that's what's so unique about our business. You know what I mean? That's why, you know, I don't care what you do. You know, you can ask anybody about me when it come to touring. I don't care if you the truck driver, you hanging up lights. You know, I'm the only artist that at the end of the night, I'm going and shaking everybody hand. Know everybody by name. Watching them climb the scalps and take out light. I mean, everybody by name. And that's just how I get down. That's just something that Snoop instilled in me. Like, bro, you just never know. You might see somebody one day and then the next day they own. And if you shitted on them, they gonna always remember that moment when you shitted on them and then, you know what I mean? So it's crazy how that's a full circle moment. I was like, damn, I hope I didn't do nothing wrong. You know what I'm saying? But that's fire, though. Like, I met so many people like that. Like, you know what I mean? And it remind me of how I even met K Dot for the first time and how that, like, how I got a song with him. Like, DJ Ill Will, I remember him calling me. I was always cool with Rock, though. J Rock always been my boy. And me and Rock had a song on my mixtape. And then Will called me like, yo, I got this kid out of Compton. Like, how you feel about, you know, me putting him on this song with you and J Rock on your mixtape? And me, I'm like, yeah, I ain't tripping. Shit. Cause usually, I mean, I might not have heard of him, but if you say he, you know what I mean, throw him on there, you know, in full circle moment, you look up and it's like, shit, I got that verse for free. I ain't getting it for free now. But I got it for free, though. Then I'll take It. [00:04:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what's up. Has there ever been a moment where I guess I don't wanna say the roles were reversed, but, like, you did that just on. Like, you kinda looked at something and was like, man, I'm gonna jump on this just for the love. Cause I remember one time. I'm gonna just tell you mine. [00:04:26] Speaker B: All right? [00:04:26] Speaker A: When you jumped on the homie. Av, he from Compton. Av. [00:04:30] Speaker C: So we just had this conversation in the car. Just had this conversation. I just was talking about AV in the car to my manager. [00:04:35] Speaker A: I swear to God, when you jumped on that, I was like, damn, that's a good look right there. I fuck with that and then n fuck with you for it. [00:04:40] Speaker C: You feel me? So it's like, yeah, it's happened. Like. Like. And I've been there before. Like, I've been there before. We all start off as new artists. Like, we all start off as new. And if you can get that one big break, like, man, this will get me through the door. This will make something shake for me. So I always keep that in mind. You know what I mean? And I'm glad that I've always just had that open mind to just be that person. And I credit that to Snoop. That's just because that's the. You know, the teachings and everything that he instilled in me. Do you remember. [00:05:10] Speaker A: Do you remember the first time that you met Snoop? And then. How did. How. I know that. I know the whole backstory, but I don't know how him and J.D. all right, linked up. [00:05:20] Speaker C: Him and J.D. always been cool. Cause of Chris and Chris. So Chris and Chris, you know, if you pay attention to Kris Kross, if you bring up their videos, you see they was. Even though they was from Atlanta, you could tell they was heavily west coast influenced. Like, you know, they favorite rappers was Ice Cube. They always wear flannel. Like, we don't wear flannels and flannels and Dickies in Atlanta. Like that. Just Dickies. Yeah, maybe, like, you know what I'm saying, back in the day or whatever. But, you know, that's. It's just a Cortez's. We don't really. Atlanta don't wear Cortez's. I do, because I've been all around the. I'm, you know, but it's just not our thing. But yeah, man, it's just. I don't. Man, it's just crazy, bro. Like, just to think of just that connection. And then with Chris and Chris always coming to la, JD Would always tell me stories you know, Snoop would pull up to the hotel, they be chilling, and da, da, da. And I think that's how Snoop and JD Got cool. Cause he used to always say, snoop used to smoke them little niggas out. For real. They used to be at the hotel, just up there just smoking weed. You know what I'm saying? He said, that's how they. That's how they clicked. And then from there, you know, once dawg found me and that whole thing popped off and, you know, the whole Death Row thing kind of started going downhill. Then, dog felt like, man, I'm just not a good role model for him right now. Like, the little nigga, he gonna be a superstar. But I know if I keep him around me, he gonna be. He gonna turn into me. He gonna be banging. He ain't gonna. It's gonna be. I just. Nah, I can't do it, like. And he was just so. He loved me so much that he said, I know I had two little homies, you know, that I used to kick it with back in the 90s. I know exactly where I'm gonna put you on the little last one. I'm gonna put you right with JD Word. And shout out to Steve Perdom, too. Because Steve played a big part out. He was at Epic Records at the time, and he kind of connected the dots. And boom. When I signed a Sony, Epic, then, you know, so. So def was a bunny, the Sony umbrella. So it was nothing to get me right to jd. JD know exactly what to do. And it was on. [00:07:07] Speaker A: I remember when. Cause I There. I never knew that story, but I always knew that that was something. Cause I knew that JD And Dre had they thing. [00:07:14] Speaker C: Yep. [00:07:14] Speaker A: And so I was like, how the fuck did Snoop fuck with Bow? Like, I didn't know the connection. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Yep, that's it right there. Like, they always been cool. You know what I'm saying? They always been cool. And then, you know, like I said, Snoop knowing his success with younger artists, he like, man, I'm dealing with my mess, trying to get off the label. I gotta let little man go. Like, I don't need him tied up with my shit. We gonna look up, he gonna be 16, 17. The whole cute thing gonna be over with by then. He gonna really have to. It's gonna be different. So I was glad that that did happen, but. And then again, I was hurt, too, because I always thought that I would be with Snoop the whole way through and ended with Unk. But it was dope how it happened. And then we ended up linking up first album, we ended up getting the number one record together. Bower. That's my name. Go number one. JD Made sure he brought us back together. Like, hey, y' all gotta do one. And to come back with the person who found you and his snoop and y' all got a number one, that's fire. [00:08:08] Speaker B: It's not often that we see, like, child stars. Maintain relevancy, avoid scandals. How have you maintain the. Stay afloat. [00:08:16] Speaker C: Stay my black ass in the house. [00:08:18] Speaker A: You do be at the house. [00:08:19] Speaker C: I'm in the house. [00:08:20] Speaker B: Gonna be outside. [00:08:22] Speaker C: Me outside. If you do. If you catch. If you catch Bow outside, I'm doing the most regularest normal shit ever. You gonna. You gonna. You gonna catch me at Target. You gonna catch me at the gr. [00:08:41] Speaker B: You gotta take Target back. They trolling us right now. [00:08:43] Speaker C: Oh, they is. Okay, well, you'll catch me at a department store somewhere. They said we ain't supposed to be at Target, right? Oh, we die. All right. That's why I be in the house. I don't know what the fuck be going on that lets you know I be in the house. But honestly, though, that's really how. Though I stay in the house. Whatever it is that I wanna do, a wise man told me, it's not what you do, it's how you do it. I live my life to the fullest, trust me. But you never gonna hear about it because, you know, I just move differently. Everything's private. I'm at the house. You want a party, I gotta at the house. You want a club, we got a club. [00:09:17] Speaker B: So your house. The party house. [00:09:18] Speaker C: No, the studio will be that. [00:09:20] Speaker B: Okay. [00:09:21] Speaker C: We got a night, we put a club in the studio. We got Magic City in the studio. [00:09:24] Speaker A: Word. [00:09:25] Speaker C: It's like soul playing, but better. So it's like, why am I going out when I work so hard to create my own world? And people wanna come to your world anyway, right? People love privacy. People love things that they can't have access to. And it's just word of mouth, man. You ain't been on. You ain't seen nothing. They got a whole building. [00:09:44] Speaker B: Fuck. [00:09:44] Speaker C: That nigga got a club in his thing. [00:09:46] Speaker B: They got a club in there. [00:09:48] Speaker C: I don't. Everything I need out there, I brought it to me. And I be just thinking, like, what if somebody get hit? And it was a Bow Wow party, and I was on the flyer hosting that one of these nightclubs after party, and they coming for me, and I'm like, that's the one night I could. I would've been at the hotel, chilling. [00:10:05] Speaker A: So. [00:10:05] Speaker C: Plus, I'm getting older. I don't be wanting nothing to happen. Shy, about to be. She in high school, about to be driving this year. Like, I just don't got time for the extra shit. Like, I be trying to avoid it, so privacy is the best way to roll. [00:10:17] Speaker B: Did y' all come to a decision on that car? [00:10:19] Speaker C: You saw that, huh? Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be that Benz truck. I lost that one. It's gonna be that. Yeah, that's what she want. She knows she gonna get it, though. You know, she like, I love my daughter, man, and my son, too, but, you know, she's the oldest, so, you know, she's. She's really excited about this driving thing and just been on my bumper. Just heavy about it. Just heavy about it. I'm like, girl, we got a whole nother gear, man. She want to drive my car to practice in. She ain't driving my car to practice. And I'm like, you got to call your. Call your aunt. Tell her come bring over. She got a nice small Beamer. It's perfect for you. It's a nice Beamer truck. You should start there. Like, you cannot touch my shit. [00:10:56] Speaker A: Nah, I don't even drive the big body. [00:10:57] Speaker C: Nah, she ain't driving that. Hell, no. Hell no. [00:11:01] Speaker A: Hey, you know what? That's funny as hell. Because no matter how successful niggas are, they still to be like, hell no. [00:11:07] Speaker C: None of my cars. She can't touch my cars. Oh, no, no. She's tiktoking. And I'm not. I ain't got. I told her the first time I catch you driving and you on live and shit, owning you, thinking you with your girlfriend. You talking about I'm taking the keys? [00:11:20] Speaker A: Damn. [00:11:21] Speaker C: Taking the keys. [00:11:22] Speaker B: With all the experience that you had growing up, does that change, like, your dating rules for your daughter? Is she even allowed to date? [00:11:33] Speaker C: Hell, no, not right now. No, not right now. Hey, it's just. You know the good thing? I'm glad I got a daughter. Cause I feel like. And I tell her all the time, and she'll tell you. I'm like, nobody play the game like your daddy. Like, it ain't nothing. None of these little young cats go to your school, these little basketball boys, that it ain't nothing. I'm gonna tell you what they gonna tell you before they tell you. So you prepared gaming her. You know what I'm saying? And I'm her daddy, so she get to see it full on. Like, I never. I'm real with her. You Know what I'm saying? I'm real with her, and I let her judge things for herself, you know what I'm saying? Like, I brought her to a concert. We had to do something. Big ass festival we had to do out here, like, last summer. And I took her and one of her close friends, as soon as we pull up, they just lean out the window to Sprinter. Like, oh, my God, Dad. Like, there's just like 25,000 thoughts. Like, this is the Thot Festival. This is crazy. Oh, my God, look at her butt. It's just, like, terrible. Oh, my God. It's so big. It's nasty. So when I hear them do that, I'm like, she knows. [00:12:34] Speaker A: Perfect. She's aware. [00:12:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yes. [00:12:36] Speaker C: She doesn't like that. And she's very, very respectful. And she is dad out, like, would tell you, mm, mm. My daddy. My daddy. Like, even y' all know one side of battle, but y' all don't really know the dad. Y' all see the fun side of dad. When that camera go off, I'm still fun dad, but it's a line. [00:12:54] Speaker A: It's a line. [00:12:55] Speaker C: She never crossed that line, never crosses that line. [00:12:57] Speaker A: How did you make the decision? Well, not. I don't wanna hide. Did it change you becoming a father or how you approach your career? Because I remember talking to Nip about that. He said he had to pick and choose his spots. [00:13:07] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Because, you know, we dad. So, you know, it's a reflection. You know, whatever I do is going to go right on her. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Right. [00:13:15] Speaker C: If I do something stupid when she go to school, Damn, your daddy got locked up. Damn, your daddy did what? Like, you know what I mean? So I always. Every move has to be calculated, I think. Like, even with me and my. With my team, you know? I mean, even with the millennium tour we was just talking about, you know, when they told me, I don't want you to do no after parties this tour, I'm like. I'm like, nigga, what you want to do no after parties? Money we gonna leave on the table. But it's like, yeah, but you gonna get. You gonna get that another way. We ain't tripping on that. Think bigger. You got kids. Anything can happen. Gotta make sure you get home. Not saying it's you, but it could just be somebody in there. Strays go, anything pop up. I just don't. You about to be 39 this year. Like, why? What for you on tour, you doing so much other shit. You don't now, if it makes sense, we're Gonna go grab it. But we ain't breaking our neck out here to go to be holed out in no club every night when you just rocking 15,000. Like, we not. It just don't make sense. And if you look the biggest artists, like, the ones don't do hosting. Y' all can see me on tour or catch me on TV or catch me doing what I'm supposed to be doing. You know what I'm saying? So, yes, the kids definitely play a big part into what I do and the moves that I make and the things that I do. Now, musically, that's what I was about to ask. [00:14:22] Speaker A: Subject matter. [00:14:23] Speaker C: Okay, leave me alone. I'm working. But behavior wise and certain things and. Yeah. [00:14:30] Speaker A: Have your family ever questioned you either? From your. From. I know moms was heavily involved. Has your family ever questioned you about subject matter in your music? [00:14:39] Speaker C: Yeah, my mom now, though, like, she's here. Hell no, she ain't here. Nah. But my mama, though, like, she'd be like, oh, my God, I love this. But why you had to say it? I'm like, what, Ma? Why you had to say that? Why is this Sex, sex, sex. [00:14:53] Speaker B: Everything is just fucking y'. All. [00:14:55] Speaker C: Just everything. I just. I'm like, ma, it not everything like mine a little bit. But why you gotta say it like that? But then she like. But then you'll turn on something crazy. Like, I don't know my mama turn on something and be like, this lit. [00:15:09] Speaker A: I'm like, ma, the whole hook is. [00:15:11] Speaker C: She saying pussy and saying all types of stuff that's cool. But you know what I'm saying? [00:15:15] Speaker B: But between the sheets is crazy. [00:15:17] Speaker C: Crazy. That's what they. That's how we got here. [00:15:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Can I go half on. [00:15:20] Speaker C: Can we go half on the baby? You see what I'. So with moms, it's more like, you know, I got a young mama, so she understand. Like, my mama put me in the rap. Like, that was the one. That's how I even got into it. So she understands. She know how I go. [00:15:30] Speaker A: We had a discussion. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Oh, you probably about to ask what I'm about to ask. [00:15:33] Speaker A: Yeah, go ahead. [00:15:34] Speaker B: Having a mom. Your mom be a manager. Being so involved in your career, did that help avoid any women being inappropriate with you as a kid? Cause you was one of them. Like, that everybody loved, you know, And. [00:15:45] Speaker C: I love the women back. [00:15:46] Speaker B: And it's like, we talk about how, like, men over sexualize younger female stars in the industry, but we never talk about the stuff that y' all probably went through. [00:15:55] Speaker C: Nah, it was probably putting a muzzle on me. It wasn't them. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Oh, you was doing it. [00:15:59] Speaker C: I mean, they was like, that's the same thing. B2K said they had to put a muzzle on me, the dog. I was out, man, listen. Everything. J.D. tried to. Man, listen. J.D. would bring the baddies through. [00:16:07] Speaker A: I'm like, what's up? I'm 16. Like, I'm a grown ass, man. [00:16:13] Speaker C: I'm grown. Look, I'm making millions now, and I can't even touch them. So, you know, when I turn 18. Listen here. 30, 40, when I turn 18, like, I don't even. Wait, what are we talking about? [00:16:24] Speaker B: That was your pickup line, man. [00:16:26] Speaker A: What? [00:16:27] Speaker C: I'm like, I'm 16. I'm like, I. [00:16:29] Speaker A: Listen, what do you think is the wildest shit you ever said to a woman before you was 18? [00:16:36] Speaker C: Nothing. Nothing. Nothing crazy. [00:16:38] Speaker A: Okay? [00:16:38] Speaker C: After then, nothing crazy. It was really more than like, all right, I'm gonna give an example. I was the type of person that Jermaine had to teach me a lesson. Pretty much. Like, this little nigga is just so girl crazy right now, and he is just. I bring my friends over here, bow out those tantrums. He fucks my shit up because he likes the girl. She's grown. You can't have her. So I'll never forget, we was getting on the tour bus to go to Dallas one time, and JD had some friends on the bus. I'd have been about, like, 16, 15, 16. I'm pissed how you got all these girls. How they. His like, I'm the darn Bow wow. Like, I'm more popping than JD Right now. How you not going? [00:17:20] Speaker B: Like? [00:17:21] Speaker C: And I just got so mad to where Jermaine said, okay, you know what? We gonna get this little. He so girl crazy. And I'll never forget, I was bugging the hell out of this dude, JD So bad. And then they end up playing, like, this big prank on me. The girl was like, okay, Bow, like, where you going? I'm going to my room. It's like, I'm going with you. I was like, no, no, no, no, you can't go with me. No, no, no, you can't go. No. [00:17:42] Speaker B: They was calling your bluff. [00:17:43] Speaker C: They Calling my bluff, J.D. like, exactly. Look at you. And they was all in the hallway, everybody watching. I'm like, man, you cap. I'm like, yeah, man, but nah, baby, just give me, like, two more years. We can do it again. Like, I was just big capping, bluffing, big capping, big capping. But I was the capper. Nobody Else was I was the capper. But yeah, but yeah, like I said, I was girl crazy off the rip. I was girl crazy. [00:18:04] Speaker A: That's what started the Bow Wow challenge. [00:18:06] Speaker C: Shit, no, I started. The girls had nothing to do with that. I tell that story all the time now, bro. Like I really was trying to be on some, some, some I'm here but not their like trying to throw off. And sometimes I like I told y', all I'm. To me, I'm a regular dude. I do regular shit my all the time. So to me I'm like, man, I ain't tripping. All these middle aged on got the side profile on my head, sitting on the regular plane and said, oh, he's right here. I'm like, what the is going on? I landed in New York, phone going crazy, I'm trending. We TV calling me. What did we gotta do something with this. So when we. I remember when we did it never. [00:18:46] Speaker A: They tried to do a TV show. [00:18:48] Speaker C: No, no, no. He was on growing up when we did the premiere. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:18:51] Speaker C: It was a wee TV big ass plane and me like sitting by that motherfucker. That's how we started it off. Like we started the premiere off like that. Like that's how big that shit was. And I really didn't understand how big it was. Like to this day, like, I don't know. To this day I don't know. But I tell you what, I got caught. I was flexing. Niggas, flex, rappers flexing, they lines, raps, bars. It's entertainment. I try to pull off some bullshit and I got caught. [00:19:16] Speaker A: I respect it. [00:19:17] Speaker C: It's that simple. [00:19:18] Speaker A: I respect it, bro. [00:19:19] Speaker C: Now they got AI. [00:19:20] Speaker B: If I would have had that shit. [00:19:21] Speaker C: They would have been able to say nothing to me. I wish you had that. [00:19:25] Speaker A: I was just talking to the homie. I ain't gonna say who it was. But he was like, man, all my jewelry fake. He was like, I'm like, what you mean? He was like, bro, they know I got it anyway. Why I'm gonna buy real jewelry now. [00:19:35] Speaker C: I will admit this though. My thing is with certain things, I understand that logic, but I'm just cut from a different cloth. I can't have no fake shit on me. You know what I'm saying? [00:19:46] Speaker B: You gotta draw the line somewhere. [00:19:47] Speaker C: I can't. It's disgusting. The type of shit I be seeing going on on Instagram. Like these jewelers promoting Bust Down Rollies. And you can tell they're shit, they're fake as hell and they $2,500. You can't buy no AP for $2,500, let alone buy AP with no stones in it. Like, the ones with no stones gonna be more than the ones with the stones. [00:20:05] Speaker A: Somebod IP for 3500. [00:20:08] Speaker C: It's fake. [00:20:09] Speaker A: As right now, it's fake. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Like, they run these specials on here. Like, I be talking about them. Like, and cats really be buying them. And then for me, like, I understand it, but when you come from a certain club, you got a guy like a JD, Jermaine, Mr. Money, anything. Like, ain't no finessing, ain't no faking, ain't no nothing. Like, JD really up in the bag on Jury. Like, there's no way that's my pops. And no, no, no. Like, I'm advocate about my Jury. Like, no, I like to go. Let me take me to Rolex and let me get my. [00:20:40] Speaker B: Speaking of. Speaking of Jury. While we talk about Jury, do you still got that Ice Style Mickey Mouse chain? [00:20:47] Speaker C: I'm not even gonna lie to you. I can't find it. And I've been trying to find that shit. You lost it longest. I just. I've lost so much Jury on the car. [00:20:54] Speaker A: Like, see, that's rich. [00:20:55] Speaker C: I lost my AP moving. I lost my Audimar moving. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Movers got it. [00:20:59] Speaker B: I wish you would lose that around me. [00:21:04] Speaker A: You know what? [00:21:05] Speaker C: I want it. I want that. I want it so bad. Like, we was just talking about, even with this show, how can I incorporate the Mickey Mouse. I haven't incorporated it at all. And none of this. [00:21:12] Speaker B: You got. You have to do it. You need to figure that out. [00:21:15] Speaker C: I wanted that moment with it. But, yeah, that was actually given to me by Jermaine, too. JD Gave that to me. [00:21:20] Speaker A: Did Disney ever holler at you about that? [00:21:22] Speaker C: Never. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:23] Speaker C: Never. Never. Yeah, they should have, though. [00:21:26] Speaker B: I also don't think you get enough credit for the way you slid on that song. [00:21:30] Speaker C: Which one? That one bouncing bounce on me. Yeah, yeah. No, no, for sure. Like, I mean, being at that age. And I didn't even write that neither. That was brat. You know what I'm saying? Like, JD Was, like, very adverse. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Really? Yeah. [00:21:43] Speaker C: Brat wrote. [00:21:43] Speaker A: I never knew. [00:21:44] Speaker C: Yep. You could tell, like now if you run it back. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:46] Speaker C: Now that you said, like, all that is so brat. From the beat to the R with eight. Like, that's so brat. Like, you know what I mean? And then I'm glad, though, in the beginning, I did have writers in place. Number one, I was too damn young to write anyway. Number two, having various writers helped me get to where I'm at now. To where, like, I don't need none of y' all niggas now. Like, I got the ultimate cheat code. I got a little bit of brat, I got a little bit of ti. I got a little bit of jd. I got me. I got songwriters that I worked with that I done been in the studio with some of the best. I done been in the studio with Wayne. I done see how Wayne work, okay? The no writing shit, I got that from. Seen Wayne do it. It makes sense now. You know, I use the beat as my paper. I just go right in the booth. If I don't like that shit, erase it. Give me a minute. Hit the blunt. All right. Right there. Let's go. I got it. Boom. Like, I don't like. It's just. It's different. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Was ghetto girls a concept that was given to you, or did you really did like ghetto girls? [00:22:46] Speaker C: Still love ghetto girls to this day. [00:22:47] Speaker B: Like what? Like, what level of ghetto, though? [00:22:50] Speaker C: Shit, what? [00:22:51] Speaker B: Like hood rat. [00:22:52] Speaker C: Come on tour. [00:22:53] Speaker A: Ghetto. [00:22:56] Speaker C: Come on tour. My manager, Andy will tell you this. Oh, it's all kinds. There's ratchet, overly ratchet. It's pretty beautiful. Petite, plus size. It's everything you call bow wow. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Don't got a type. [00:23:09] Speaker C: Bow don't got no tight bow. Love all. He love all women. He just love the women, love the ladies. But, yeah, it don't matter to me. But, yeah, that's almost created by Jermaine because Jermaine knew, like, by me spending so much time with him, it was easy for him to write these records for me at the time, he knew I loved ghetto girls. I'm from Columbus, Ohio, you know what I'm saying? All the girls then that had crushes on was Trina, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was on eve, like, heavy. He like, you ain't naming none of the. Nah, nah, I'm good. I like JLo, all that. That's cool. You know what I'm saying? But you see in the ghetto girls video, Trina was in the video. Eve got in the video for me. I'm like, that's what I like. I like. I like. This is what I like. I like real. I don't like that fake shit. Like, I like real shit. [00:23:55] Speaker B: You don't fuck with bbls. [00:23:56] Speaker C: Who? [00:23:57] Speaker B: Bbls. [00:23:59] Speaker C: I was raised in Atlanta. Come on now. That's like. [00:24:01] Speaker A: Oh, okay, okay. [00:24:02] Speaker C: That's like seeing a weed shop on every corner in la. Oh, I'm used to that. Yeah, we love them. If it's done right. [00:24:07] Speaker B: Okay. [00:24:07] Speaker C: It's gotta be done right. [00:24:08] Speaker B: You gotta say that. [00:24:09] Speaker C: Yeah. You can't have the. I think I said it in there in that mutt. Freestyle. Yeah. The. The legs and the ads don't match. That's a. That don't. That's never a good look. Never good luck. [00:24:20] Speaker B: You don't know. Walk around, look like a AirPod. [00:24:22] Speaker C: You can't do it. I like that. Yeah. No AirPods. [00:24:28] Speaker B: If you say it, though, like, credit me. Like, just, like, shout out that. [00:24:31] Speaker C: No, you gotta think about it. Like, damn. You kind of look like. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Yeah, right. You're right. I stole that from Twitter. [00:24:38] Speaker C: That's a good one. [00:24:39] Speaker B: I was. We was actually just talking before you came in. I was watching the My Baby video. The whole thing? Not only one. Exactly. [00:24:49] Speaker C: Okay. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Because this is an extended version that's not on YouTube. [00:24:53] Speaker A: You're right. [00:24:54] Speaker B: Is there a reason why it's not there no more? [00:24:56] Speaker C: I'm not sure. Because the two versions and I just. It's crazy because I just was showing a girl that the video, and I was like. It was two versions, and Usher was supposed to sing on there, not Jackie. [00:25:07] Speaker B: What? [00:25:08] Speaker A: Get the out of here. [00:25:10] Speaker C: Vocals is late, too. They somewhere in Atlanta. At Patchwork Studios. Yup. [00:25:13] Speaker B: You don't got it on your phone. [00:25:15] Speaker C: Couldn't get the clearance. Not. Couldn't get the clearance. Mama. Usher. [00:25:18] Speaker B: You know, Usher was supposed to be. [00:25:20] Speaker C: On My Baby and he got a hummer out of us. [00:25:22] Speaker A: A Hummer. [00:25:23] Speaker B: Oh, y' all paid him? [00:25:23] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, we paid him. Why you didn't. [00:25:25] Speaker B: Why you gonna repot a car? [00:25:27] Speaker C: No, he did it. I don't know. I gotta ask you, bro. [00:25:30] Speaker A: What the happened to the man? Give me the record. Yeah, it'll get out. [00:25:35] Speaker C: You know, it's a lot of things that was supposed to happen that didn't happen with certain songs of mine. But I was thankful that jacket was right there in the cut for me, like. [00:25:41] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:25:41] Speaker C: It couldn't have been. They. They did what they were supposed to by that point. [00:25:45] Speaker B: Had y' all already did Puppy Love? [00:25:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep. We had already did that. And the world party at remix. [00:25:50] Speaker B: Right, right, right. [00:25:50] Speaker C: Yep. So this was the third one. Yeah. But like I said, I was just so happy that they was just able to do it. But back to your question, though. Yeah. It was two endings. Because I was showing you how it would have been if you stayed with the dude. Then she died, I think. [00:26:05] Speaker B: Yes. [00:26:05] Speaker C: And then the other version is y' all going shopping. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:09] Speaker C: It's like y' all in love, everything is kind of cool. [00:26:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:12] Speaker C: You know what I'm saying? [00:26:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:13] Speaker C: But I don't know why, baby. They don't want to show it because she dies. And we. In a different time now. It's a different era. Well, I don't know. [00:26:18] Speaker B: Well, I asked you that because Ashanti, she did an interview, and she said that Rain on Me was a domestic violence awareness video. But, I mean, you know, we all come from crazy households and stuff, so as a kid, that shit looked normal to me. [00:26:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:31] Speaker B: I didn't even realize that that was like, a domestic violence video. And obviously, when she said it, it made me look at the video different. [00:26:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:36] Speaker B: So I wanted to rewatch my baby as an adult. Because I remember the car crash and. [00:26:41] Speaker C: Him hitting her and just saying, he's driving drunk. Yep. [00:26:43] Speaker B: And you said, I never placed my hands to your face. [00:26:45] Speaker C: Correct. [00:26:45] Speaker B: Was that intentional for it to be a domestic violence thing? [00:26:49] Speaker C: Man. As I was making the record. [00:26:53] Speaker B: I. [00:26:53] Speaker C: Think, like, how when I write. Cause me and TI Wrote that. Me and T. I wrote my baby Word. [00:26:58] Speaker B: He just left. I wish we would have knew that. Yeah, we just interviewed him before you came in. [00:27:03] Speaker C: He was just with me. Oh, my God. [00:27:05] Speaker B: Okay. [00:27:07] Speaker C: Just went to. Yeah, Me and him wrote that record. And I don't know. I think. Cause that beat is so, like, R B is kind of dramatic. It's kind of dark in a way that when the fat cats. That's the. Who directed the video, when they came to me, I said, yo, this is dramatic. And even when we was making it, I never really intended for it to be that. I thought it was gonna be like my. My LL I need love type, you know, moment for me with that record. I didn't realize that at 16, I. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Was like a love story. [00:27:42] Speaker C: Yeah. It just turns out that way. It's crazy because my homeboy here, he'll tell you, like, I'm with Bow every day when he writing. It's almost like Bow will say some shit and it won't happen in the verse. So it's Cap. But for some reason, by the time the world gets it, he'll stop and be like, this. That is crazy. You got like. You do this too many times. How did you predict this? I say that shit crazy. [00:28:06] Speaker B: How so you like the Simpsons? [00:28:08] Speaker C: Pretty much. [00:28:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:09] Speaker C: Like, and it happens right in your life? Yep. [00:28:12] Speaker A: But you. But it's like. [00:28:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:14] Speaker A: But was. [00:28:15] Speaker C: It happens every time? [00:28:17] Speaker B: Was it based on actual events? Like. [00:28:19] Speaker C: No. [00:28:19] Speaker B: Did you never experience anything like that? [00:28:21] Speaker C: No. Like, me, I can be in the. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Studio, like, Cause it was very direct. It was the summer 2001. Her name Kim. [00:28:29] Speaker C: I just followed the beat. And me being able to make movies, I'm like, I know I can write something that could touch the people and they can relate to it. Like, what's something I could do? Like, it's gotta be for the ladies, but it can't. I don't. I'm not taking her to the mall. We done did that. She know I got money I can buy. But it's gotta be another dynamic with dealing with a man and a woman. What else can I tap in with? And the story is just so dreamy to me. Then I just said it was the summer 2001. All before when we first met. Seeing Samuel's statue was broke down kinda mess. Like it just. Like I said, it just rolled like that. And then I'll never put my hands to your face. But here I like all that is shit that people go through. And I was just trying to like have a record that could withstand time. And you can still play that record right now. Cause that shit goes on. And women still deal with that type of shit to this day. [00:29:22] Speaker B: That's a fact. [00:29:24] Speaker A: Is there. So we had. We talked to B2K. [00:29:27] Speaker C: I saw that interview. [00:29:29] Speaker A: We talked to O about what was the song Gina. It was Let me hold you and Girlfriend. Girlfriend. And y' all was debate. Y' all was having a thing about that. [00:29:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:37] Speaker A: Is there. Why is that? Is that a first of all? Is that a common thing where you battle JD about the single choices of your records? And then why was that? Why was that even a debate? [00:29:47] Speaker C: I battled. Yeah. With Jermaine. Yeah. [00:29:50] Speaker A: Cause I could see JD Knowing like you being hard headed. [00:29:53] Speaker C: Yeah. With Jermaine has been a maybe with like you. Because I found like you like Jermaine was making a beat, was sitting next to him. Something told me he had, you know, Jermaine always keep floppy disks around and he'd be having albums around. So I saw a new edition. Like we already did Candy Girl on my second album. It was cute. I don't even perform that. I'm like, I know these niggas got something else on this though. So I listen to their first album. I put it in. I'm skipping, I'm skipping, I'm skipping. I got to leaving you again. When I got to that, that came on like, ah. I'm like, then when that beat, it take forever for them to start singing. So it's just a straight instrumental forever. So then when the beat drop, it goes stopped It JD you heard this song Leaving you again. New Edition. Yeah, yeah. Touch this one. You gotta do something to this one. You got. You gotta do something to this. You have to do it. I don't give a fuck what you doing. And Jermaine is very like, I see what you talking about. He don't want to give you your props in front of you, but he'll do it behind your back. So when I came in, he had it done. Old Girl was on the record already. [00:31:04] Speaker A: Oh, he already produced it. [00:31:05] Speaker C: He said, here you go. You asked for it. That nigga pressed play on that motherfucker. I said, oh, my God, this the one. [00:31:11] Speaker A: So you be knowing immediately? [00:31:13] Speaker C: Absolutely. But I got that from J.D. like, I can hear it hit. If I get chills just off the beat, I know what it's gonna do now. It's my job to just make sure the right shit go on. This motherfucker life, it's gotta go on here, and it's gotta be right. But I knew it. It was a battle between let me hold you'd and like you. That was what I was talking about. But I had to battle with the label. Label was Feenin. Oh, they ain't in a relationship. That's just gonna be the biggest shit ever. Da da. I said, fuck the relationship. I don't give a fuck about that. I don't give a fuck if she want my girl or not. Nigga, this shit is a hit. I'm telling you, we got to go with, like, you, label. No, no, no. We need to go with let me hold you first and then give them, like, you. And now that's all. But me and O was battling on Face off because I'm telling. He always like, we gotta pick a single. And I'm like, girlfriend is like, that's the one. Like, Dream wrote that shit. Like, that's it. It's a bop. It's a cool grown bop. We growing up, like, that's gonna be it. You know what I'm saying? That's gonna be it. But I think anytime you got people in the studio that's passionate about what they do and care about what they do, it ain't no different than football players getting into it over a play or you miss an assignment or it's the same thing. Me and O, we got that type of relationship where you can get on me if I'm slipping. I can get on you if you slippin. That's brothers Chris the same way Chris get on my app. Chris told me, hey, man, we all got A group chat. This how you know when you friends. Hey, nigga, next time you do a video, and I'm gonna do the same thing. We're gonna upload our videos in the group chat. Cause we homies. We gotta tell our homies when shit ain't cool. Why you take that, bro? That video, I wanted to know that, too. [00:32:48] Speaker A: Yo, she brought that up. [00:32:50] Speaker C: I wanted to know that. But I want to disrespect you. Nah, that's real friend shit, though. Like, bro hit me like, bro, all I could do was laugh in the group chat. [00:32:57] Speaker B: But why did you do that? [00:32:59] Speaker C: So I'm gonna tell you. So I told Brown Brown. I said, all right, now I understand, bro. [00:33:03] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:33:03] Speaker C: But damn. I mean, all right, we just gonna post our music videos in here before the world gets. I said, all right. That's a bet, my nigga. That's what we gonna do. [00:33:12] Speaker B: They got you on timeout. [00:33:13] Speaker C: Yeah. So we both said we all gonna put our music videos in the group chat. All the homies, y' all with it. It's cool. Y', all. Y' all with it. All right, cool. I'm putting this out tomorrow type. [00:33:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:22] Speaker C: So I was like, cool. But nah, pretty much, that's pimping for franchise boys. So I'm walking down the. So if you pay, if you watch it, I got the Henny in my hand. Whatever. I was drinking the Don Julie on my hand. So I appear drunk. I'm stumbling down the hall.

Nigga, back the fuck up. This nigga don't react. [00:33:41] Speaker A: He didn't react. He did not react. And that's how I came. [00:33:44] Speaker C: I'm walking drunk down the hallway. [00:33:45] Speaker B: Cause it was low key, a one shot, right? [00:33:47] Speaker C: I snatched up, look. And it's in slow motion. He's like, By the way, this is how, you know, niggas get old. We lead it. We didn't even think about it. Nobody on set thinking about this shit until it came out. And I'm like, I never even thought about this shit like that. [00:34:05] Speaker A: You never even thought why you took a blunt off another man. [00:34:09] Speaker C: And the next thing you know, I look up, NBA youngboy didn't want his homeboys on the stadium. Snatch that. Give me that. And lit that. I said, oh, young boy doing that. Hey, hey, hey. [00:34:18] Speaker B: It's a problem, man. [00:34:20] Speaker C: But now that Was. That was so funny, man. I ain't gonna lie to it. Like, one thing about me, man, I'm a good sport when it's come to cuz. Like I said, we got a group chat, and we don't. [00:34:28] Speaker A: Who's in it?

I got two popping group chat. Like, me. Honestly, me and Chris. Group chat is small. It's me, Chris and two of my best friends. Like, it's just us. Like my little brother, my little homie that's like. Like, that's been my dog forever. But of course, we all close, so Chris don't see him grow. So it's like. Like, my homie can call him, FaceTime him. Hey, bro, wanna talk to you again. It's like, tell me. Call me myself. Why you calling? Like, it's. You know what I'm saying? Then we got our other group chat, which is just that one off the chain. [00:35:00] Speaker A: That's the wild one. [00:35:01] Speaker C: Oh, shit. [00:35:01] Speaker B: Who in the Millennium Group chat. [00:35:06] Speaker C: That one turned. That one turned. That one's turned. [00:35:09] Speaker A: Okay, so let me ask you this. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Wait, no, back to the other one, though. The Let me hold you and girlfriend, Looking back, do you still feel the same way? Of what should have been the lead single. [00:35:22] Speaker C: For my album with me and old Let Me hold you'd was the one. Because we knew. Like, we knew that. I didn't know. See, it was slow with the Luther sample. I didn't understand it at first, really. But then the shit went number one. And I was like, oh, shit. Oh, I see what they doing. This was the perfect single for me. And you gotta think that was the first single and the first record me and Jermaine did after my third one. Cause my third album, we fell out. And then we came back. So I was just all riding in the passenger seat, like, I gotta listen to my dog on this one. And it was the perfect setup for, like, you. Because we knew, like, you was gonna be the bigger record. But if this go number one, it's gonna set this one up to just. This shit is out of here. Like, we ain't even gotta even touch it. For me and O for the Face off album, it was between hey Baby and Girlfriend. I felt like Girlfriend was more urban and it was more like a to be continued vibe from. From Let me hold you still keeping it. How we was keeping it. And then you see in the video, we at the end. Towards the end, we go into hey Baby and we play it off. It's like a continuation. Hey, baby. I liked it too, because I'm LL's, like, biggest fucking fan. That's my idol. But other than that, I felt like, yeah, that was the right setup to do. And I feel like, honestly, we dropped the ball on that album. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that album, for that album to. And I'm sure it's probably. It'll be certified platinum any day now, but for us to sell over 700 and some thousand records off that album. We only had two singles on there. I could name you at least three more records, bro. [00:36:49] Speaker A: We couldn't. Talking about easily. I'm not gonna let you get that off. Cause we. You talking about physicals. Like, that's not. I always thought it's not a streaming game. [00:36:58] Speaker C: And it was the number one. And we had the number one album. It was the number one album. [00:37:01] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying, bro, you talking about 700,000 physicals. That's not really an easy thing to do. [00:37:05] Speaker C: Oh, hell no. [00:37:06] Speaker A: So that's what I'm saying. You gotta like that. You gotta chill on that. Because the streams is like, it's easier to stream your shit. I get all the records for 999, 15.99. I had to leave my house, go to Sam Goody, go to. Like. [00:37:18] Speaker C: We know. [00:37:18] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:37:19] Speaker C: Like, media play all that we have to do all. [00:37:21] Speaker B: Yeah, he ain't got to know about me. That's one of your best. [00:37:26] Speaker C: See what I'm saying? That could have been a record. Take off your clothes. Could have been a single. This the. He ain't, she ain't. He ain't got to know. The. The. The one where he telling me, n you tripping. I'm like, these are songs that me and O came up with with Lil Ronnie, who produced I'm a flirt for me and Kelz. That's who did majority of the face off album. 99.9% of it was him and me. And O was just in the studio, and I'm like, bro, we need to do a song where like, some bro shit, nigga. Like, I love this bra, but you need to be telling me, nah, that ain't the one. You know what I'm saying? She got little miles on that thing. You can't be doing that. You caught up. You caught up in the moment. I need my dog. That's real shit that can still be played today. And that's going on currently right now, as we sitting having this interview so it's like that was the only thing. And I'm like, damn. We went number one off two albums. We damn near went platinum on the album. And I know we could have pumped out three more singles out there. Like that's a fact. [00:38:22] Speaker B: Especially that side song. [00:38:24] Speaker C: That's a fact. [00:38:24] Speaker B: He ain't gotta know. [00:38:25] Speaker C: He ain't gotta know. [00:38:26] Speaker B: But who idea was this? [00:38:27] Speaker C: That was mine. [00:38:30] Speaker B: You've been a meme. [00:38:31] Speaker C: That was mine. [00:38:32] Speaker A: That was your idea. [00:38:33] Speaker C: Absolutely. I didn't even think nothing of it. I just did it. I've been just doing shit. [00:38:37] Speaker A: So nobody even playing that. That wasn't like choreographed. [00:38:39] Speaker C: The beat. No I.D. made that. No I.D. produced that beat. That shit go bump, bump, bump, bump. I said I gotta do something. I can't move my head two times. Fuck it. We hugging them. They need hugs. The ladies need hugs. Fuck it. We gonna. [00:38:53] Speaker B: All right, keep it real. [00:38:53] Speaker C: We gonna do this then. And then, next thing you know, ever since I did that shit, you come to a concert. If I don't do that shit, it's a problem. [00:39:05] Speaker A: It's a problem. [00:39:05] Speaker C: You will see the whole arena that they waiting. Bam, bam, bam, bam. They hitting it every time. Every time. It's almost like, I gotta do it. [00:39:15] Speaker B: And now your move from Versus That. [00:39:18] Speaker C: That one too. [00:39:19] Speaker B: That one too. [00:39:19] Speaker C: But I set that up, though. If you go back and watch, you ain't see what I said before I did it. I said, this is about to go viral. Watch this. And then I did it. [00:39:25] Speaker B: I didn't know you was talking about that. [00:39:26] Speaker C: That's what I'm talking about. [00:39:27] Speaker B: I thought you was talking about the. [00:39:28] Speaker C: And it worked. [00:39:30] Speaker A: Maybe it's just. I don't know. That's crazy. [00:39:32] Speaker B: That went viral, though. You was a meme for days. [00:39:34] Speaker C: I said, watch this. This about to go viral. Watch this, y'. All. And I did it. And I do it live, too. If I don't do that, it's a problem. If I don't, it's like as a concert goer myself, I just put myself in the fan shoes. Like, n. I want to come and see you do what it is that you do. I don't give a Damn if you 40, 50, nigga, you better shake them shoulders. You better motherfucking walk across that stage and do that dance. You better skip do that. I want to see you do the whole thing. You know what I mean? I think that's why, you know, even with the last tour, you just heard so much praise coming from my show. Just cause I'm gonna give you what you want? I don't give a fuck. You paid to see bow. I'll give you bow when I get off the stage. I'm back shot, I'm back cooling. But I'm gonna give you what you asked for. I'm gonna get your money's worth. [00:40:18] Speaker B: You're a 10 out of 10 performer. We was just having a debate. Literally, last episode, we was talking about artists who are able to get on stage and perform a whole set all the way through, and the audience is performing it with you. [00:40:30] Speaker C: It's only a few, and you're one of those facts, and I'm standing on that. [00:40:34] Speaker A: You leave it on the stage, and I think I just want to get paused. [00:40:40] Speaker C: I missed it. [00:40:41] Speaker B: I didn't even do nothing. [00:40:42] Speaker A: I don't know. I just looked at her face. [00:40:44] Speaker C: I'm like, I don't think you said we watched this shit back. I don't think you said nothing crazy, though. [00:40:49] Speaker B: You so damn nervous, I wouldn't even look at you. [00:40:52] Speaker A: Shit, you be making me nervous. [00:40:53] Speaker C: All right. [00:40:54] Speaker A: But I just want to give you props on two fronts. One is the performance aspect of it is insane. Like, I saw you perform, and I was just like, God damn, bro. Like, the energy and the breath control is a thing that people don't take that serious. You rapping your lyrics like, you hitting your lyrics. [00:41:10] Speaker C: I'm not. [00:41:11] Speaker A: People don't pay attention to that type of album. [00:41:12] Speaker B: You work the stage every time. [00:41:14] Speaker C: I hate that. Rapping over my lyrics. I've never done that. Real rappers don't do that talk that talk rap. Nah, real rappers do not rap over the track. Like, the most you gonna hear is ad libs. Yeah, that's cool. You might hear the A. Yeah, you ain't about to hear. I ain't like, just the whole verse. Like, I'm rapping the song. Like, you put the song on itunes and just let it play. Like, Jay Z came and did a social death anniversary concert, and JD DJ threw on public service announcement. And when that heard him. Them vocals. Ho, stop that. The vocals, dude. Gotta kill the vocals, dog. I said, see on the same. If I hear my voice, that might me up. Word. Yeah. Because I've been performing these records so long that I'm hitting different melodies when I'm doing them. Now I'm freaking them. I'm having so much fun. So if I want to come in and, like, flip the cadence a little bit, it's gonna sound like I'm offbeat. If the shit on the track, like, you know what I'm Saying, so I need free range. Cause I can change shit on the fly. [00:42:17] Speaker A: The other point I want to give you props on is you give credit. I noticed that throughout your career, when somebody write a record, you give them credit for it. And that's something in hip hop that people shy away from. Like, oh, you. I wrote everything. It's like, my nigga, we know. Like, but the difference between you and most other people is hits. [00:42:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:34] Speaker A: And I'll be trying to explain to my art, not my artists, but my homies. Like, bro, hits are collaborative. [00:42:39] Speaker C: Yep. [00:42:39] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? Like, you can't have a discography or a catalog of hit records if it's not a collaborative effort. They think they going in the studio by themselves, making the beat, themselves, producing it, coming up with the melody, writing the records. It's like, it don't work like that, dog. [00:42:51] Speaker C: The same way, Unk. The same way. Unc ain't afraid to shy away from that. Like he told me. I mean, it's out and open. When he did sexual seduction, Shorty Redd did that shit. And he was like, man, this shit's so different. I brought it into the label. They looked at me like I was motherfucking crazy. Like, what is this? And we put that motherfucker out. One of my biggest records of my career, But Shorty Red wrote it. And sometimes it takes, especially when you want to do melodic records or, like, race. I got cats that I. I got writers. I got writers that I'll call. Like, I was stuck if I got a beat. And I know this shit is special. Yeah. I'm not about to fuck it up being selfish. I got a team. Hey, Luke. Luke. What up? Hey. I just sent you something. [00:43:28] Speaker A: Fuck with it. [00:43:28] Speaker C: But this. What I'm going with it. It's gotta be a bop. I. I hear something for the ladies. I see the ladies getting ready. Friday night, lashes. I'm just writing words to him and. Okay. Lashes. Friday night, going out. Jeep Wrangler, doors off. Girls want to have fun. Got it. All right. That's what you want. Yeah. Now put that in the hook. And once you do the hook, I got the verses. It's collab. That's what it's called, collab. You collab. You know what I'm saying? And that's what it's about. That's how you sustain. That's how you keep going. Because what happened is your pen and your brain, you will get clogged up and you'll start making shit that sounds alike. And then you get writer's block. That's when you need other creative minds in there. You need to hear different patterns, different. Now you need to come in like this. You need to like, I don't mind being produced. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Like, that's what's up. [00:44:14] Speaker C: I don't mind that. [00:44:15] Speaker B: Yeah, you brought up Imma flirt a couple moments ago. Is it true? I just seen the clip. Is it true that R. Kelly came in like. [00:44:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I gave it to him. [00:44:26] Speaker B: Okay. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Broke the record. [00:44:28] Speaker B: But you saw the conversation I'm talking about. [00:44:30] Speaker C: Was it with Lil Ronnie? [00:44:32] Speaker B: I forget who. [00:44:33] Speaker C: I forget who. Just said it had to been Ronnie, though. Cause me only. Me and Ronnie talked about the thing. So now it's out. Everybody know how I'm a flirt. Thing kind of went down. So the record is my record, period. It's my record. Me and Ronnie did it back to question he was asking me. Battling with the label with singles. I'm on Sony. Sony feels as though, yo, this out of my system. Record is crazy. Like, this can be one of Bow Wow's top pop hits. I'm like, look, man, I'm a rapper. I don't fuck all that pop shit. Look, check this out. I got this record with R. Kelly. This man called me about doing this record. This is my favorite RB artist of all time. This gonna put me in a different light right now. If I you talking about the young LL who get all the girls with the king of R B. This nigga gonna stamp me as a grown man with this shit. Yeah, I need this. Look, I need to have a video with me and R. Kelly in my archive. That's what I'm saying. At the time, I'm like, you know, the situation I was in, it moved on. And I remember having this conversation, God's my witness, in a Lamborghini dealership in Miami. I'm battling with the label, battling with them. I'm like, yo, I don't want to make it seem like I'm crying over, you know what I'm saying? Spill milk like spoiled milk. I just don't want to. Y' all gonna have me looking lame out here. Like I'm gonna do a breakup song about somebody that the whole. You know what I'm saying. And I don't think they gonna come with no record like that. [00:45:53] Speaker A: No. [00:45:53] Speaker C: You know, they records is pretty much uptempo, fun loving, dancing. And here I come. I'm gonna be in the rain and shit. And kid you not. I got outnumbered by the label. They go it out of my system. They were right. It Was probably the biggest pop. Close to, like, pop record I had. But then shorty popped it off in the video with the. Who was the homie now? You know what I'm saying? That's the homie been the homie. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm talking about? They in the video. You know what I'm talking about? They in the video turning up. I'm crying. I'm damn near black and white. I'm in the rain. [00:46:28] Speaker A: You fucked up in the. [00:46:29] Speaker C: I'm fucked up in the. [00:46:30] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? Oh, my God. Put all this together. [00:46:34] Speaker C: I'm like, yo, I'm single now. I'm a flirt. Oh, I'm back outside with Kills niggas. We got the summer. [00:46:39] Speaker B: So it was low key, a diss track. [00:46:41] Speaker C: I mean, you can take it. I mean, I didn't take it like that, but I'm like, the look, I'm not. I'm. [00:46:46] Speaker A: The optics of it. [00:46:47] Speaker C: The look of my life is I'm bowed and I'm with Kells, and I'm single. [00:46:52] Speaker A: You outside? [00:46:53] Speaker C: I'm outside. [00:46:54] Speaker B: You needed your pop outside. [00:46:55] Speaker C: I'm a flirt. Yes, that's me. That's who I am. And Kells was devastated. Like, I had to really talk to him. Me and Ronnie, like, yo, bro, they not. I'm outvoted with the label, bro. They just keep pushing out of my system. They just don't want to work. I'm a flirt. That nigga kills her. Check this out. This what we gonna do. That mother said, look, they tripping. I'm gonna use it on my album, and I'm gonna make sure you get your writing credit on it. You're gonna get paid forever. But this here is just way too special to not be put out for the impression. That's what he told me. [00:47:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:34] Speaker C: So what I'm gonna do is Bow wow. I'm gonna. I'm gonna put TI on there, and I'm gonna put T Pain on there, and I'm gonna repackage it as a remix. Cause if I say it's a remix, you can avoid a lot of bullshit internally, business wise. So when he says this is the remix by him saying those words, that's how he was able to do it. But he still needed get the fuck my like. You got that? [00:48:00] Speaker B: That is not the way the story was told. [00:48:01] Speaker C: That's how I went down. So. And I will tell you this. That motherfucker kept his word. We still eating off that motherfucking record. You Google, I'm a flirt. Right now you gonna see four names. Clifford Harris. That's Tip. You gonna see T. Pain name, and you gonna see Robert Kelly, and you're gonna see S Dot Moss. Even on the Billboard chart when we went number one. Even on the remix. Niggas like, where Bow Wow at? Oh, don't worry. I'm in there somewhere. Don't worry about it. But the ones that know, they know I' Ma Flirt is originally. Is Bow Wow's record. [00:48:31] Speaker B: Wow. [00:48:32] Speaker C: And I gave it to Kells. [00:48:33] Speaker A: That's fire. [00:48:34] Speaker B: It's on your album? [00:48:35] Speaker C: Yep. [00:48:35] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:48:36] Speaker C: Yep. It was on a Walmart version. It was like a special edition version. [00:48:40] Speaker A: Did you. Where's your. Where are your verses? [00:48:42] Speaker C: My verse is first, Kells is second, and then we do a bridge, and then it's Kells back to the verse. [00:48:48] Speaker A: That's how the song was struck. [00:48:49] Speaker C: Yep. And I perform it to this day. You think I'm performing that motherfucker? Performing that motherfucker. [00:48:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:55] Speaker C: Performing that mother. Number one nigga. My name on it. Yeah, it's mine. So that's the. That's the. That's the truth behind it. Shout out to Ronnie. Cause you know what I mean? Like, you know, usually in this game, you hear about so many cats getting taken advantage of on the business front. So that was. That was. That was real for Kells to say that shit like, n. I really believe in this record. I'm mad for you because I wanted you to. Like, you know what I'm saying? This is you. He said, but it's okay. I'm gonna remix this shit. You do what you do, and it's gonna be there for you. I'm make sure you get your check. Cause, nigga, it's yours. And you wrote. So is yours. [00:49:30] Speaker B: Were there any other songs that belong to you that was repackaged in a different way? [00:49:34] Speaker C: Nah. I' Ma Flirt was the only one that kind of confused everybody. But it's to clear it up. It's Oliveir's record. [00:49:41] Speaker A: And. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Yes. Do I eat off the record? Yes. Did I write on the record? Yes. [00:49:46] Speaker A: Okay, so is there any truth to. I know that Fresh as I'm. Is is not supposed to be a diss track. I know that. [00:49:52] Speaker C: Hell, no. [00:49:53] Speaker B: No. They cooked these motherfuckers cut me for not knowing that it's a diss track. [00:49:57] Speaker C: It's not. [00:49:57] Speaker A: So I said it's not supposed to be a diss track. [00:50:00] Speaker C: It wasn't. [00:50:00] Speaker A: That's. [00:50:01] Speaker B: They cooked me in here. [00:50:02] Speaker A: But I look at it as one. [00:50:05] Speaker C: Nope. [00:50:07] Speaker A: That's the fan lore. Yeah, the fan lore is as fresh as. I mean, is it a diss track, right? [00:50:11] Speaker C: Yep. [00:50:12] Speaker B: I can't believe this shit. [00:50:13] Speaker C: What? It's not. [00:50:14] Speaker B: They argue me down saying it was a diss track. [00:50:17] Speaker A: I don't care what he's saying. [00:50:18] Speaker B: How you don't know it's a diss track. [00:50:20] Speaker A: I don't care what he's saying. [00:50:21] Speaker C: To me. [00:50:21] Speaker A: It's a diss track. [00:50:22] Speaker C: I can understand how you could take it today. [00:50:25] Speaker A: It's a dis track. [00:50:25] Speaker C: You know what I think? I think the people then. [00:50:28] Speaker B: I'm a flirt of this track. [00:50:30] Speaker C: I think the public. The public made it what they wanted to make it because of the comparisons with me and Rome. You know what I'm saying? I think that the fans was, you know, anything that I could have said they was going directed or geared towards him. [00:50:43] Speaker B: When you said, I make more than. [00:50:44] Speaker C: Your daddy, you know where that line came from? No, Rakim. [00:50:49] Speaker B: What did you use it for, though? [00:50:50] Speaker C: I use it for that. Cause I'm talking to all these cats out here like, it's true. I make more than your daddy. [00:50:54] Speaker B: Not directly, too. [00:50:55] Speaker C: No, not to Rome. No, no, no, no, no. But it's the truth. I'm stuck. [00:50:58] Speaker A: I was gonna ask you that. Like, where. So where'd you go? [00:51:00] Speaker C: Eighteen and making more than your dad? Like, no, I'm sorry. I think. Was that ll Correct me if I'm wrong. LL I think it's either Rakim or ll. It's one of them. It's one of them. I know. And I took a couple Rakim lines throughout my career, too. But he was paying homage. Yeah, for sure. It made sense. I'm like, I'm 18. Just turned 18. I'm popping first hard record. I get stunned. Nigga, Lamb, all that, man. Hell, yeah. I'm 18. Making money at dad. That was really for all the niggas that be like, man, my girlfriend love this, man. I hate this. [00:51:27] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll do something, nigga. [00:51:29] Speaker C: I'm making more than your daddy, nigga. What? That's why she want me now. Like, I was on that type of time. I never was thinking about Roman P. I grew up. P. Been getting to it before. I be lying to Dick. Why would I just. Man, I love Master P. Growing up, I got the hookup. I still watch that movie, you know what I'm saying? Like, he did so much for the game, then the independent front, DVD front. Like, he was the first person I seen make $100 million. You know what I'm saying? But I could understand what real money was. [00:51:55] Speaker B: So the fan base put you guys pinned, you guys against each other. [00:51:58] Speaker C: They tried, you know, and then come to find out as we get older, you know, you know, people go through things, life changes. Me and Rome had a conversation, and basically Rome say, man, bro, the truth is, nigga, I always looked up to you, bruh. [00:52:13] Speaker A: Wow. [00:52:13] Speaker C: I looked up to you, bruh. Like, nigga, I. That was just dumb, bro. You had to Mickey my side the Bugs Bunny. Like, you heard him, Shay. I heard him. Shay too. You crib. You crib. I cripp, bro, too. Like, I couldn't help it. And for me, I'm like, I'm not gonna diss him. I think then I don't even think even when I was younger, I wasn't even really tripping, you know, I wasn't even taking like, it was flattering. I just wasn't paying nobody attention. I mean, I'm triple platinum. I'm not thinking about nothing. Like, then at 18, I'm still running it up. My album went platinum. I'm not thinking about nothing but the work. I ain't thinking about no. I ain't thinking about dissing nobody no nothing. So then when he came with his, I'm like, oh, man, I gotta holler. We gotta talk, man. He gotta understand. He gotta hear from the horse's mouth, I ain't got nothing to guess you, bro. And to this day, I don't. That's why you see him pop out on the verses pay. You know, he kind of said what you said, like, bow you to Jordan and you know Soulja you to LeBron. And you know, he the Kobe, whatever, however you want to put it. But you know, as we grew up in the game, like, Rome is a real cool, down to earth, respectful dude. And I got respect for Rome. I do. I got a lot of respect for Rome. [00:53:14] Speaker A: I sure appreciate it. [00:53:16] Speaker B: We was talking about how well you are as a musician performing. But we are giving your flowers as a host. Cause you are an amazing host as a performer. Can you please give us some insight on what happened at the Grammys? [00:53:31] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I definitely can't. [00:53:33] Speaker A: We lied. [00:53:34] Speaker C: I was so excited to do that. The first rapper to ever host the pre show, like, that was huge. And I get to toss it to my idol. [00:53:41] Speaker A: That's a big deal. [00:53:42] Speaker C: Get to toss it to ll and I'm thinking it all go well. All right. L your ass about six more years. That's why I got the young rap here now. I'm gonna host this in a minute now. So basically, I'm in my. I got my. My, my, my, my in. Ears in. And, you know, that's the beautiful thing about live television is anything can happen. And when anything can happen, that's where you're gonna get the best out of me. Because now I get the improv. This is when the shit gets good. This is when I know, even as hard as I try, shit going viral, but it's okay. Cause it's real. And this is just going down. So they telling me they doing the countdown, like, as I'm in the audience, like, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, bow. Throw it to L. So I'm like, all right, Boom. As I'm throwing that mother. As I'm throwing it to L, they like, nope, nope. Not ready yet. Not ready yet. On the floor. Not ready yet. And I'm like, oh, okay. I figured they was ready. Here we go. I see you all up in the. Hey, what's going on? Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez. What's going on, girl? How you doing? Then you. I had to start filling in the room. They like, all right, we ready now. So I'm like, all right, now. I think we ready. America, Here we go. Is going on right now. Right about now. Hold it. Bout. Nope, we're not going. I'm like, oh, hell no. So then the band started coming. I said, oh. I said, hey, y', all, the band coming now. It must be time to go. We about to wrap this up. Here we go. The third time we threw it. Boom. When I got backstage to change and went to my trailer, I had all the producers from the Grammys, like, lined up, waiting on me to apologize. And I'm like, what is wrong with y'? [00:55:11] Speaker B: All? [00:55:11] Speaker C: And they were just bugged. Like, we are so sorry. The first time we let a rapper host the red carpet live, you did so good. It was us with the miscues. I said, listen, y' all thinking way too deep, man. I had a ball. Anytime shit is off the script, that's when I shine the best. I said, so I don't want y' all feeling like y' all fucked up, and y' all ain't do yalls job. I had a great weekend. A great weekend. And I'm thankful that y' all let me get this off. Cause I was. I liked the outfit I had on and all type of shit. I was feeling myself, so I was happy. That was going from 106, you know what I'm saying? To CBS and the Grammys. Never no, knock on bet. They know I'm down with them forever. But we all know, like, I'm. I'm getting. Damn it, I'm about to be black. Ryan Seacrest out this motherfucker. Keep going this direction. You know what I'm saying? So I was really thankful for that. And. Yeah, so that. [00:56:07] Speaker B: That's why you handled it so well, though. And, like, even I want to say it was another moment, I forget who it was. I think somebody watch came off or something. [00:56:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:14] Speaker B: The way that you handle the moments in real time, you do such a. [00:56:19] Speaker C: Yeah, but you know what's crazy? The moments where I do go, like, the moments that go viral are the moments I'm never trying to go viral. And I think that's what happens. Like, even with that incident, that's my dog. I would do that for you, my nigga. If your bezel dropped on the floor and you didn't see it, I'm gonna pick it up for you. [00:56:35] Speaker A: Nah, that was some real shit. [00:56:36] Speaker C: I didn't understand what the big deal was. I'm like, all right, I don't get it. But, you know, the Internet gonna do what they do, and I didn't mean for that to happen. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Once again, we going. [00:56:45] Speaker C: Once again, we going viral off of just something so simple, you know what I'm saying? But like I said, I think when cats try to go viral, either they don't, or it never works. It's the shit that I'm not thinking about. And I look up and it's like. Like, for instance, like, even with the Beware of Dog, my first album, somebody said it was a video game. I remember the video game that was in his first album. I'm at the crib playing 2K. I don't even really be on the Internet like that. So I'm like, what am I viral for now? My daughter like this, Dag. Your own shade room for what? I don't even go out, say nothing. Oh, well. I'm like, well, damn, that's crazy. They just gotta find something with my name on it. But I'm glad it's positive, so I ain't trippin'. [00:57:20] Speaker B: You're a legend. [00:57:21] Speaker C: Thank you. I appreciate that. [00:57:22] Speaker B: When you did last year as 106&Park, 20 year anniversary for 106&Park, you was performing. I was in my living room performing with you. [00:57:30] Speaker C: Yeah, it worked. [00:57:31] Speaker B: What was it like for you to experience that moment? Like seeing the set of 106 and park? Because you kind of have, like, you play two roles with 106 and Park. Like you were Mr. 106 and park as an artist. But then you were the last host of 106. What was that for you during that moment? [00:57:49] Speaker C: I felt like home. [00:57:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:50] Speaker C: Just felt like how I felt in that picture you showed me. You know what I'm saying? It felt like home. BET is home. That's why I call it Bow Wow. Entertainment Television. That's what it stand for. [00:57:59] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:57:59] Speaker C: That's why I always say it. It's home, like. And I always host the pre show for them. You know what I mean? And this year we had another viral moment. Red carpet. Like, it just doesn't stop. [00:58:10] Speaker A: So. [00:58:11] Speaker C: But they see that dynamic with me and that mic and that camera, and they know, like, I'm born for that shit. So we'll be back. BET Awards is your Megan Simone as a fan. [00:58:21] Speaker B: As a fan, though, what was it like for you with the Last episode of 106 in Park? You know the picture with all of y'? [00:58:26] Speaker C: All? Yes. [00:58:27] Speaker B: I cried. [00:58:28] Speaker A: She literally cried. [00:58:29] Speaker B: I cried for days. Like my dog died. [00:58:31] Speaker C: Well, for the fans, yes. Fuzz. For me, I was like, okay, the business is changing and I'm here for it. That's what I was getting. I didn't cry. I wasn't sad. But I was like, well, I've been living in New York for three years. 365. No day. I'm talking Monday till Friday. We knocking out. Some days we doing three shows in one day. At 9:30 in the morning show, the 12pm show, then we break. I used to go back to my condo, then go back for the live show at six. So doing that shit for three years straight, plus traveling, doing off site stuff. BET Awards also when I was doing 106, I was tied up. I couldn't really get. I couldn't do movies. Like, I remember Antoine Fuqua came to New York and he was like, I got this boxing movie. And I felt like this was my second time. Antoine Fuqua came back around looking for me, and I'm hosting 106. I go do the audition for him. He like, pull up. I want you to read. I read, kill it. And it's the movie with Jake Gyllenhaal. It's the boxing movie. I can't get the role because I had to be there in that picture where I met you at. [00:59:37] Speaker A: You got a job, fool. [00:59:38] Speaker C: There was a certain brand that was sponsoring the BET Awards. Who? We can't say. Cause y' all said we can't say them. It was them. [00:59:44] Speaker B: Oh, Target. [00:59:45] Speaker C: And they needed me there because they was gonna pull out if I didn't. If I wasn't there, the hoes. So I had to be there. And I couldn't do the movie with Jake and Antoine Fuqua. I think the movie's called Southpaw. [00:59:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:59] Speaker B: Wow. [01:00:00] Speaker C: So you know what? They gave a role, too. 50. I was the trainer. The role was mine. [01:00:06] Speaker A: You was the trainer? [01:00:07] Speaker C: I was the manager. Yeah. 50's role. The role 50 played. You can ask Antoine Fuqua. I'm a mama. He gonna be like this. [01:00:14] Speaker A: I can't wait to talk to you. [01:00:15] Speaker C: That's a fat battle had to roll. It was me. It was me and Jake in Southpaw. I was hurt. [01:00:22] Speaker B: You fat? [01:00:23] Speaker A: Some. [01:00:23] Speaker C: So when you asked me, it wasn't like a celebration. I'm ready to go. But I was like, I miss. I also miss some good shit. [01:00:31] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you did. You did Tokyo Drift. [01:00:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. But, like, that was before 106. This is like. You mean to tell me I get the host, the number one show, and y' all gonna give me some time to go film a movie? Yeah. Oh, this lit, like. And it's with Antoine Fuqua, and me and Antwan already been trying to do something together since right after, like, what I want to say, like, Mikey took a meeting with me about the Monster Cody movie that he was going to do. He wanted me to play little monster Cody when he was younger. You know what I'm saying? So from there, I'm like, this is just God now. Now he's coming back in 2013, 2014. This is it. This guy. Like, we ain't missing this opportunity. Okay. That hurt. [01:01:09] Speaker A: Speaking of movies, what's up? Are you in the last installment of the Fast series? [01:01:13] Speaker C: If they. If they need me there, I'm there. [01:01:15] Speaker A: Because you did nine. Were you in? [01:01:17] Speaker C: I did. [01:01:18] Speaker A: You did Tokyo Drift. [01:01:19] Speaker C: Tokyo Drift. You also did seven. [01:01:21] Speaker A: Seven and nine. [01:01:22] Speaker C: And nine. Wait, seven, nine, nine? [01:01:24] Speaker A: Yeah, he was in Fast nine. [01:01:26] Speaker C: Okay. [01:01:26] Speaker A: I'm a fan of the franchise, so. [01:01:28] Speaker C: Bro, let me tell you. I think Chris might know more than me, Luda. But I'll be losing count, bro. I be. I'd be like the fast 11. Come on, fast. He's like, no, 11 ain't out yet. I'm like, I ain't even seen them. [01:01:40] Speaker A: They come back. They coming back to la, and they wanted to be. [01:01:44] Speaker C: Be real street. They getting back to the. To the essence. Just know this. [01:01:46] Speaker A: So you ain't heard nothing? [01:01:47] Speaker C: Not yet. Not yet. But I do know. Swear to God. But how they roll because it's. The production is so massive in the cast. Like when we came back and did like the Avenger one, which was what, eight? Was that eight When I went. That was seven, nine. When I went to London and all. [01:02:01] Speaker A: That, that was nine. [01:02:02] Speaker C: Okay. So when I went to London, all that, like, fast works, like, what? To me, I feel like once you're in the family, you're already on call. They might already have every cast member pinned up on the wall. And I think as they go, you know, like, even with nine, they was like, rewrites. Okay, this is the perfect get bow. Go get Lucas Black. Just bring every. We make it. Bring everybody. It could be last minute rewrites, all that. My man, my teammate gave me the script. Hey, they called. Ain't no. Ain't no getting no nothing. They got your sizes already. They know your size. They know everything you need. You're leaving next week. Here's the. [01:02:36] Speaker A: Oh, it's a straight up. Like. [01:02:37] Speaker C: Oh, straight up. It happens fast. You already a recurring character. What we gotta tell you? Ain't no rehearsal, ain't no. None of that shit. You coming in to play Twinkie and you like, it's on. Wow. Quick. And that's how nine happened. I was just chilling. They reached out, they called. We was on the phone. It was on the horn and they said, yeah, he need to come to London in four days and come film. [01:02:57] Speaker A: That's fire. [01:02:59] Speaker B: Characters in like movies. And they always versatile. Like, you don't ever play the same type of character. And I can see the range Road Bounce Johnson. Family vacation. You brought up like Mike. Lottery ticket. [01:03:12] Speaker A: Yeah, Lottery ticket. [01:03:14] Speaker B: You'll be seeing everybody be like, I'm broke. [01:03:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Say that a lot. I just. Matter of fact, I think somebody just did, like the top 10 Chrome and I had two movies in that movie, the I 10 by 10 and that one. And I wasn't. That's a real moment, though. Like, everybody laugh at that shit. Like, when I went to the theaters, me and Brandon was like, why these motherfuckers laughing, Laughing at that. This is a serious role. [01:03:39] Speaker B: Like, you know what it feels like to me? [01:03:40] Speaker C: You my homeboy and I don't trust you. It's like loyalty is involved. Like, why I'm talking about the theater. They bust out laughing at that part. And I'm like, we was dead. The serious. That day on set, we was. There was no script, we didn't speak. We got on that rooftop, they had one single cam and let us go. No script. [01:03:57] Speaker B: It's supposed to Be a serious moment. But we black. [01:04:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:04:01] Speaker A: We laughing at each other. [01:04:01] Speaker B: We make everything a joke. [01:04:03] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. [01:04:04] Speaker B: What other roles have you passed on? [01:04:08] Speaker C: Big Mama's House, which. That. Just that clip of me explaining that came up. Just didn't want to wear no dress. [01:04:19] Speaker B: Oh, you supposed to be Big Mama.

Fuck this music shit, nigga. I'm going to the left with it, nigga. I'm going all in with acting to the point where you can't give a fuck about what they gonna say, what they gonna. You. You gotta. You gonna be in a whole nother Stratosphere. And you gotta know that coming back to this is gonna be over with. And I said, you right. And I didn't take the role. Glad I didn't. Brandon T. Jackson did his Thing. But that's why they had him rapping in it. Yeah, you saw it, right? [01:06:06] Speaker A: Because it was supposed to be wow me. [01:06:09] Speaker B: Yeah.

They knew they wanted me and it was on. Jerry Bruckheimer, the whole team, it was on. [01:07:11] Speaker A: I'm a huge Jerry Bruckheimer fan, bro. [01:07:13] Speaker C: That was like the Ivy League of acting for me. Like that. It's funny that everything we talking about earlier today before I went to breakfast, I was talking to my boys and I was telling him like, yo bro, I had a bad. The worst day I ever had in my acting career was on CSI Cyber set one episode, the first season I had to do. You know, it's a lot of computer diagnostic shit that we gotta say. [01:07:32] Speaker B: Cause you was like a computer, right? [01:07:34] Speaker C: A black hat hacker. And I listen, I studied this shit like a motherfucker. When I say these words, they just would not stick. And I could not remember. And I called my mom. I remember I was almost in tears. I think I gotta quit. She said, what? I said, I think I'm have to quit csi. My mama looked at me and said, let me tell your ass something. You ain't quitting shit. That's CSI and that's cbs. If you quit that shit, you ain't never acting again. You walk out on. Walk out. Go ahead. I said, mom, the anxiety. I'm going from LA to New York three times a week. I'm filming 106, I'm doing three shows a day. I gotta get on the plane at damn near 10, leaving New York to come to LA. Six hour flight. I'm up all night trying to study my lines. And I got it. By the time I land, I'm gotta go to set. Like, this shit is. It's killing me. But season two, once, 106. Stop. I had a clear. Just. That's all I had murdered that season two shit and was ready to go back again and do three. But I was just happy that I was able to, within them two years, to get everything out of them that I wanted. And that shit, if you can act on csi, it ain't nothing you can't do. Cause I seen the best of the best. I ain't gonna say no names. The best struggle on set doing that. That was real legit work. But it was fun. It was fun. [01:08:58] Speaker B: I'm glad you shared that story, though, because watching it, like, as a viewer, I couldn't tell that you had any issues that you struggle with anything. [01:09:04] Speaker C: Season two, I was too comfortable. I was. I was more cocky. Season two, I was. Listen, it say Nelson. It say Nelson. TYPES FROM LAPTOP Let me tell you what I was doing. I was having our tech people, I said, listen, if I got it already, listen, if it's a Nelson Reed from the laptop, y' all program my lines in the computer. [01:09:20] Speaker A: Facts. [01:09:21] Speaker C: Not a problem, mister. Not a problem. About. Yeah. Every time I'm ace. And yeah. The diagnosis. Reading. I'm reading my lines. I'm reading my. Yeah, y' all don't even. Y' all don't even know y'. All. It's just computer. It's just words on the computer. They're my lines. Yeah. Then once I started, I started seeing Patricia Arquette, who was an Oscar award winner. I started seeing her. I'm like, patricia, what's on your desk? Stickies. And don't touch them. So after a while, I opened up the floodgate of we can't stress. All we gotta do is get the job done. Let in editing. They gonna do everything in post anyway. Let's just get the words right. So. But it was a lot. It was a lot of dialogue, man. It was a lot of computer stuff. A lot of tech shit that we just. So I'm like, man, if I had to run over there and grab the coffee, Patricia had a sticky note on the back side of that coffee that you couldn't see. And she'd be like, well, but I don't understand. Like, she'll look off and be. We was on, like, we figured out Certain shit. Like, we ain't about to be stress Season two. Hey, bro, like, season two was all fun. It was all fun. Season two, it was lit. [01:10:18] Speaker A: No bullshit as the homie. I'm gonna need some. I'm working on something.
