This is ex-conditioning. I am too. T.I.A. Uh-huh. Now, the following experience is not just the conversation story expressed on the podcast, and it's been expression of purpose and true love. This show probably ain't five minutes, but this is the free exchange of ideas and opinions. No judgment, no preconceived least, no fear. You're a character to share your thoughts, and ask only questions that will always stand with you. And ask true true love and respect for others that will change the world and speak truth to power for sure at the time. Now, what I'd rather do this here is take a traditional year. I'm T.I.A.A. What's happening, man? I'm your host, Tim Harris. Uh, this is going to be a very, it's going to be a fun episode today, man. Uh, a highly respected guest here. I'm talking about a real player. He's a force of nature and comedy and online and online entrepreneur and a real life entrepreneur that didn't wait for anyone's permission, didn't follow the traditional path, didn't try to fit into anyone else's box. He created his own. And I can respect that he built his own lane the way we built hours, connected with millions through his internet series. You've seen them dominate social media. Sell out comedy shows across the country and bring characters to life that feel like people you actually know. Yeah, I mean, with over 2.6 million followers with over 59 million total likes on TikTok, 11 million followers on Instagram and Facebook. Half a million subscribers on YouTube, but with 1.2 billion total views, he's shown that you don't have to wait for the approval of others to follow your path to success. He's a devoted father, a savvy entrepreneur, one of the most genuine people in the business and the man of God. Please welcome my partner, Country Wayne, the expeditiously. I'm gonna need that paper when I leave. Well, the paper only said a few things. I put some ocean in them. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I was supposed to do that, man. That's how I feel about your man. That's real, that's real, that's real. I watch your, I watch your rise to success. And we've spoke, you know, I'm saying on the way. And you know, I remember this was probably like right in the middle of the other beginning of the pandemic. When you say, hey, man, it's the money in that, in that, in that, in that online stuff, man. And I was like, yeah, I, I'm telling you, man, you need to pay attention to it. What showed you first that there was more money than people were paying attention to in social media? Man, I'm gonna be honest, it's gonna sound crazy, but just listening to y'all in the, in the music game. Because I was trying to be a rapper first. So, yeah, y'all talk about y'all masters and all this. When I got in the comedy game, I was always trying to find that money. Right. Because I heard y'all talk about it. So, you know, I was, I was documenting y'all like crazy. So, when I got in the comedy game, I always wanted some money out social media. Because I was like, if it's that big to launch me to be able to tour, I know it's some money in it. Right. You know what I'm saying? Where's the money? So, I was always looking for it. So, when it finally showed up, I think I seen it first. Because I was looking for it. It's like looking out the window, wait for that is to come home. Right. You see that car coming around that corner? Right. Because I'm looking for it. So, I was always looking for that money. I was waiting on that money to come for it. I was like, I ain't no way. It got to be some money on here, man. Do you remember the first video that made you realize, man? It's working. To my money wise, I was just going viral. Going viral. I went viral on 2014 is a video call. It had to fake like a girlfriend's cookie. And I went viral and I only got like, I got like 30,000 followers out that video. And I thought I was famous. I started putting up three videos a day after that. I ain't stopped for a while. So, I got to the point I was able to tour. Now, what about money wise? Money? It was the pandemic. Okay. Because I was in that matrix of touring. And the pandemic broke it. And I was like, God, dog. And I came to it. Right. Money, boy. I ain't going to make it. I won't go making no more beautiful money. You know what they say? Every tragedy, man. Whenever something like a tragedy or dilemma happened. Yeah. Somebody break out of it. I was fortunate. Yeah. I was, I think if I wouldn't have had a big stage right at that time. Yeah. I would have did it, social media. But the fact that I was like, I was down like 13,000. I was like, well, I gotta do something. You know, that's a lot of money to some people. Yeah, it is. I gotta take it. You know, for my future. I'll take it. I'll wait a minute. I'll be no money with you. Yeah, my bill was, my bill was $70 a month at the time. Yeah. So you get, that means that next month. Yeah. You done. I'm done. Yeah. I was like, man, I told my brother. I said, we've been to see about this Jesus stuff. I've been talking about real. I said, hey. But, you know, I got to it and I, I seen the video. I tested it out. I called Ryan Davis. I'm like, oh, so this stuff is real. Y'all get y'all checked. He was like, yo, bitch. So Ryan Davis was the, that was the blueprint for you. No, they had, they was all well. I was the blueprint for them because they wasn't posting on Facebook. But I heard they had started monetizing. So Ryan Davis, I want to see, was it really real? It's monetizing. Well, they on Facebook. Okay. So they got a check for real. I said, you sure it's real. So I signed up. I did all my stuff and then I did a video to test it. See if the money was real without my kids in the bed. And it made 70 dollars. That's all you need. That's all I need to see. I said, hold up. I can take this cell phone. Yeah. And Trump. I did 19 kids. I broke 19 kids, did them two days later than ever since then. I went up my first month, like 25, second month, you know, second month, like 50. And after that, it went, it would go into the moon. And I was like, oh, you know, I found it. I'm like, is that money on social media that they finally sharing a little bit with us. They don't share it. Yeah. Cause it's, it's, it's true. It's true, it's bro. Like, we get, you know what I'm saying? Like, I make a good bag and everybody think I should just be happy. I'm thankful. But I'm like, bro, we can tap into it with the real ad agencies. The really, really. And they can, we can say they add the same way. We tap it into Facebook and everywhere. Cause all they doing is giving us fractions of the dollars that they receive from the ads that they're sharing. Exactly. Um, you know, we all, we, off camera, we always have this, uh, we have a common. Uh, we have a, a common past life. So you, you, you, you speak openly about, you know, how you was, how you were trapping before, you got in the cabinet. Um, did you still have your such a strong faith in God while you were trapping? Yeah. I had a strong faith in God. I had a knowledge of him. But, uh, cause you grew up in church. I'm not, not really around around church. So you know, we knew of God and all that. But I ain't started really tapping into 2012 when I picked up that bottle. I ain't started selling dope 2016. Okay. It's about like, man, you just don't hear that story before it's 2012. I'm up the bruner about the real championship. Yeah. I had like, you know, I was a local dope boy. So we had about a hundred grand, you know what I'm saying? 60 to 100 grand. That's a good money. I had plot had the rapper plots coming. I had paid him 25. Okay. So you use also diversified portfolio. Yeah. I was always trying to get out. That's always important though. Cause you can, cause a lot of people, they get that money and then they keep it till they spin it. And they just keep their cycle going until something bad. I wanted out for day one. Yeah. Cause it had already got my dad and my uncles. I knew the story. So I knew the storyline. Right. So I was sitting in the bed. This was maybe getting in the Bible. I was sitting in the bed. I had plots coming, pocket full of money. It, uh, it was a drop. So my cash was sitting. But I'm up. And I said, man, I'm up. And I'm up in the wrong world. Did I grab that Bible? My niece had a Bible. And I just picked up and started reading it from the beginning. I don't read it nine times since then. I read it every day. But it was like, I knew I was eventually going to go to prison. You know, I was like, I'm going to get a traffic in charge. And then it was giving me 10 years of traffic. You know, you're going to go even 40 months. Rest of going on parole. I had already started selling it. But you know, I just needed something else to get me out. And I just, but like you said before, we started this. I wanted to get out. You got that's important. You got to want to get out. Mm hmm. I think the people who stay in it, they, they, they, they become, they become comfortable with the lifestyle. I told my dad of that. Addicted to the lifestyle. I told my dad and my brother they went to prison. I did. And I told them to dip between y'all. They loved the gang. Right. When I was in the street, I never even went on vacation. All the other dope boys. My, my, my ex-wife, Geno used to be mad because we was in the street. She used to be mad because she's sitting out some money. I ain't going out of time. Right. And, and, and matching outfits. Cause I'm like, I'm throwing in God face at this point. Yeah. I'm like, God, like, okay. That's that Frank Lucas. That's the Frank Lucas. Yeah, man. He came to that fighting and mink, man. All the boys. One time she went to, she got mad. Cause you know, I was talking to another girl. I ain't going to lie. But another, another dope boy at the time. She mad. Cause I wouldn't have taken no way. So there's other dope boy. She gone one weekend. I don't know where she gone. And I don't care.

You know what I'm saying, the dude, the people who I, who did the bad bidding, who I seen, did just kind of maintain, they, they, they statused throughout the game, without going to prison and that, the one that, go to work every day, religiously, come home, send them a little dope, stop by the time sun, go there, and take that at the street. Yeah, at the street. And I was going on weekends. I was on the cell dope Thursday through Sunday at that time. Now they got, I got laid off, 2010. That's when I was at the street full of time. Yeah, I was at the street full of time then. Well, I'm happy that you, that you made it. Oh, you know what I'm saying? And, and, and you don't, you, you don't, you're not, you're not shy about your history, with your, with your, with your baby, mama's in the women, in your life. Like, you actually got married. You got married. I married my aunt, I married Zina. And, you know, we made you, we made you, we made you in there. Why did you say, why y'all not still married? 'Cause I was like, man, where I want to go and what I want to do. I knew I had to turn up. And I know she wasn't going to understand that. 'Cause me being in a tanker, she's in a tanker too, but she never really made it. So, you know, it's like she ain't understand what it was going to take. And I really, and me doing these skits, like I was, just think about later when I was kissing girls and skits. She wasn't going to let me do that. It was going to be drama at home, because at first, when I first started doing the skits, everybody like, don't just skits. It took a minute for them to realize, oh, that's what he was seeing. So, I had like, be with girls in the skits. Like, just playing like this, my girlfriend. And they believe in she, my girlfriend. Just being in that relationship. It just, it was like, you know what, she ain't going to understand. And no girl would really understand that. But I didn't have the luxury to put her patience to be like, make her understand. 'Cause, you know, this first generation, right. So, I'm like, you finished, it's been a hurt. (laughing) I'm gone. But nowadays, she living free, she's been 45 there a month. So she, you know what I'm saying? So, those, now, she live a life. It was worth it. She understand now. But she, they get here. I would have had to put up with too much. And I don't drink a smoke. Right. Now, if I smoke, I could have stayed in that mirror. 'Cause I could have been smoking. Like, man, shit, shit, hello, man. But, you sober, man. That's your aggravated. (laughing) I ain't got nothing to make me forget you talking. But now that you heal, and she understands, with your marry again, you can get, y'all can get it. If we talk about, I talk to the body all the time, I'm like, you know what, man, we'll just get back. Yeah. Just get back, man. And how she feel about that? She feel good about it, like, she'd be like, she'd be like, like, why are you laughing? (laughing) That's so wrong with you, man. (laughing) (laughing) It's so wrong with that boy, that one, man. (laughing) Okay. (laughing) You said she feel good about it, she feel good. (laughing) I brought it up. Yeah, we talked about it before, like, man, you might as well, 'cause we so cool now. And she still got my A-man's card. Hmm. And I was like, man, hey. So, you cost me too much money. We might as well be on, yeah. It is easy though, 'cause she got two of my young girls. I really thought about just at this point. Mm-hmm. We could go back and just be married. Right. So, it'd be easy now, 'cause the marriage was fine. And so, you would go into, you would, like, get married again to her, and you'd think it'd be a better experience. Oh, yeah. It'd be a better experience. I guess every marriage is better with me. Yeah, every man is better now, 'cause she understand. That's all she wanted to do in a way. She wanted to ball. (laughing) She ain't understand what she was. (laughing) We weren't there yet. She'd be looking at all the, she'd be looking at Tony. I'm like, hey, she got a husband's name, T.I. But she got all the whole people. She had her own people when I met her. Exactly. But she looking at the other celebrity's, what's the name? They got, my, my, my, my people just the chair all the time. She got her own people. Yeah. She got her own people, so, but her husband's still T.I. (laughing) There's a time I tell you, man, you try to make me forget you T.I. (laughing) You ain't not gonna, that ain't gonna work with me, bro. Hey, man, but I tell you one thing that we'll work, okay? It was a bit, man, I tell you, and I ain't just saying, you know, I tell you this behind closed doors, man. You like me, though. I don't really like flowers, I can tell you. You really don't like your flowers. The glory goes to gold. The glory. And that's what, the glory goes to gold. And that's what we feel. Yeah. But sometimes you gotta let these jokers know who ain't got coming since. It ain't you saying, I'm saying it. Okay. I tell you everybody, T.I. was the only rapper, 'cause I'm an analytical person. T.I. was the only rapper off the real. That the women really liked, if he had a money or whatever. That's why I relate to you. I always felt like, oh, I know you did. Anytime you could, man, you didn't even, man, I would dead broke when I met my wife. You was the hit. After they did bring 'em out just for the, okay, so the world could understand, he could sprout. Anytime you come back with you, don't know me. And it's for the streets, and everything you would drop it, you know, everything, you know what I'm saying? What's shown that, who's the rapper never want? It's because that's what I am in the comedy game. Okay. That why I be telling comedians, I don't what T.I. was a rap guy. They come to see me, if I don't tell a joke. That's real. They don't, and I'm like, you was the, you was the most confident because you know that. You was the one that you didn't need. You didn't, you didn't even want nobody to know your business. That's where it is real play. I mean, that's what, I mean, I try to keep it that way. Yeah, man. They know the nose is growth, the nose is growth. But man, you mean, you want your flower, bro, but man, they know, man, I'm humbled by it. I'm humbled by it. And I think it's a blessing. It's a blessing to be alive after all the stuff that I've gone through and let alone to be successful and free. Yeah. So I appreciate it. But I don't never want to be in a position where I'm accepting so much glory and go and look at like, oh yeah, it about you, huh? Yeah. But that's why I was good with somebody to say it for you because I think the young generation need to see that or what really work because they think you just got the, you got the rob a kill. And I'm like, now, I don't run the money out. Exactly. Yeah. You, and even Jesus, it was the, the, the main thing was about hustling to get some money. That violence committed and you have to handle it stand on all ten. Yeah. That is some high guy flip and they put violence first emotion, ego. Yeah. And I'm like, bro, do you realize what T.I. and Jesus did in it money? So you might as well that, that, that, that right there don't work. So I'm like, the real why I call that because I'm like, bro, this has worked time to time again. Yeah. You know, and it's like, that's what, so that's what inspired me. Now, you said, you know, you said, I, I try to make people forget. That I'm T.I. And I don't really like lean on, you do that no, I don't lean, I don't lean on my blessings too much. I try not to let, let the, I get whatever money, uh, riches I had, I don't lead with it. It's dealt. I don't like lead with it. And you say that ain't going to work on you. But one thing I know you know, it ain't about how much money you have, you know, about how much you can keep. Exactly. I think more than talking with people, I always talk about it, uh, how much money country Wayne make off his skits, how much you make a month, how much you make a year, but what they should be talking about it, how many deals you have, how much that overhead that operation going, the overhead over me, the month, you feel what I'm saying? That's what I want to say, like damn, you spend over, I don't want to know how much you make it. Let's talk about how much you have to spend to maintain it. Right now in my life, I gotta spend 1.5 a month, 1.5 a month, 1.5 a month, but I gotta keep people from asking for stuff. Yeah. Because if you only tell how much you get, then they go, Oh, well, you can let me have now. When they know you, it take 1.5 a month, it take, it take 1.5, it take 1.5 a month to, to live my lifestyle. It take care, but I take care of it and re up because it's, but at the same time, it's funny, how you say it, re up. Yeah. I keep it. I go broke. One thing about me, I go broke with content. If I get down to, if I get down to 100, 200, I'm gonna have me got there 700 video, a few hundred video in the pocket, you know what I'm saying? It's like that's her right now, I, you know, it's full well over for me, you know what I'm saying? It's just, I have, where can we watch this movie? I ain't, I ain't, I ain't let it go yet because I've not been getting, but I'm, I'm gonna put it out myself most likely. So let's talk about that because there's something that we, another thing we have in color. Yeah. Yeah. We both invested. We didn't wait on our films to be green lit by a studio. That's not crazy. It's not. Yeah. Yeah. We should, we got some money. Imagine all of us can't together bro, I, I, I'm talking about on me or you, yeah. then we're talking, you know what I'm saying, me us a little baby on tour. And I was like, man, imagine this. We all came together. - And we could do a smile over it. - Yeah. - We just put a million up for it. - And get our own streamers, sir. - Yeah, but you put a million up for me. - A million out of three. - 10 of us come together, put up a million a piece. Everybody having paper. Just put a little million up. Do it like the white fold, do it, get us a boy. - Yeah. - Some articles of representation, you know, and got in and hire some motherfuckers to rent it. Did nobody have business? And all we got to do, I put my content on there. You put your content on there. Everybody else put their content on there. - We gonna, we'll run the game, bro. And it's crazy. I got mine by the way. - Yeah. - I'm ready. - All right. - So I was just need about eight more months. (laughing) - Hey, I'm ready. They financially evolved. I don't understand, right? A million, man, we fuck up for millions. - They don't understand. - This nine to this 70, that, you know. - I'm like, we mess up so much money anyway. - Yeah. - And it's like, man, we might as well, I don't know, it's something on our real lives. You could be in prison while you're walking. - In your man. - They in prison. If they trap your man, they don't need, they don't need, I'm like, bro, all this money we make, how do we not come together? - All right, so here it is. So here, this your camera, this my camera. - Okay. - So this is a message to every like man who did entrepreneur, self-made millionaire, that's within our circle, our social circle. We are willing to, country way, just say it, we willing to put a million of peace to the side, to start something together, collectively, with people that think like us and that can contribute. And if you have your million to set to the side and you wanna contribute and you wanna put your own continent, do your own thing, then come on and let this show on the road. And I got the play, 'cause I was about to do it by myself. - Okay. - But I got a play that could change the game, and I feel like it's gonna change the economics and the black community, it's so big. - Right. - I think entertainers got the power to start this thing that is gonna hit us so bad, it's gonna change the economy and a lot of black communities and the cities in America. - You know, I started, I had, you know, myself and Jason Jeter, we along with Baron Davis, we put our paper together and bought all-deaf digital. - Yeah, I remember that. - You know what I'm saying? And that was a two million dollar acquisition. And, you know, we built it to where, and it's a larger machine behind it called Culture Genesis. And it's really, that's how I learned so much about how much money is in them at. - Yeah. - Because that's what we do basically. We run different people's YouTube channels and get them more money from YouTube than they're able to get on their own, because of CPN, CPN, you know. And me seeing that, 'cause I bought it, 'cause I want to put my own content in it. - Yeah. - But after we got it, we saw the money, ain't in that, the money is in getting people who running their own channels, more money for the CPN's, than they can get themself. That experience showed me what's out there. - Yeah. - With somebody like you, and for intellectual hypothetical to say, if it were me, you, DC your fly, two chains, Usher, little baby, you know what I'm saying? If it was enough of us, and that, just because I didn't say your name, don't mean you ain't in it exactly, boy. - I got a lot of y'all in mind. I just ain't called y'all. - Yeah, 'cause ain't no reason why we can't do it, bro. - Because if we don't do it, just think about this. This is how trigger people. But you know, we can't say we can't say we can't say, then we keep begging them folks. - That's true. - You know how soft we say, they're gonna let those be gangster, 'cause it's like, that ain't gangster. How are we gonna keep asking to be on, they say, I'm not finna go to no more meetings than big. I be in the meetings like, bro, this is what I got, this is what I got. Why do I got to keep pitching when we supposed to all have the same guy? - That's right. - God got us this far, and we came from the projects to people rapping and making millions. It don't stop there. But we scared to get them hundreds of billions. - We want somebody to give us something. Like, you know, we want it to be easy. We want to knock on the dough and somebody to say, what you want to do? Okay, here's three million dollars. Go do it. Now I own it. - Yeah, and now Tats is here. This is them. See, that what they don't know. Now, let's talk about that to y'all. When they give them chips, it's because they know you finna get hit with hell. So we got to find a way to make our money come in and residually. - That's right. - So that way they only hit with me. Don't hit the whole pot at one time. - So as we said then, it's not income. - Exactly, you know what I'm saying? But that's a whole new conversation, man. - But y'all, we definitely on the same page, man. - Man, why do you think IP ownership, became so important? - Because it was like, okay, at least I know for sure. I'm gonna sell the bet to me for what is worth. I ain't got it 'cause I hate, I'm telling you, man. I hate when somebody gets me. I can't sleep. - They keep you up. - I think that's what happens to a lot of artists, man. When you find out how much, when the artists find out how much they don't got got, I ain't no way to go in that studio and wrap. Yeah. (laughing) 'Cause they've been financially raped. Like, they've been, that's trauma. Like, when you find out, if they was giving me right now, well, I make all these kids, right? Say they would just give me 200,000. I would've been so happy. But then I find out what they were making. I wouldn't be able to put up a skit. 'Cause they keep you motivated when you know you get it. And you own it, they keep you creative. 'Cause once you, I pay the attention to rappers. And I'd be like, this rapper, this rapper, you know what I'm saying? I don't stop too early. What happened when it is, they don't walk up. Once you realize, you got, man, you got to think about some of these big movies, bro. Some of these stars, a movie blew up. It's like Wester's Snipe and Blade. Just chat with both of them. You know, Wester's Snipe would Blade, he saved Marvel. And he probably got $800,000 for that. He probably got about four, three, four, three, five, me. Five by three, five, me. But the thing here, though, check this out. Marvel was going bankrupt. They were paying out more money than they were making back. Yeah. They borrowed some money to do that movie, Blade. And that made them hundreds of millions of the world they could continue and kind of show them, oh, well, this is the path we need to go down. Yeah. Imagine the Wester could Wester's Snipe was a big star at the time. Exactly. Instead of taking that five, me and he could've went in and said, instead of y'all paying me, shit, this up. I want a little piece of ownership in the film and whatever growth that Marvel have moving forward. That's what we got to start doing. We're going to blow that money. Yeah. Like the money, it's going to come and go. It's going to come and go, but that ownership, we got to start doing that, man, because I just can't take it. Because the ownership, when you own something, you get the money residually out of it as it earns much to much. Then when you get ready to sell it, you get another big check. Exactly. I think at a certain point, people got to get to that mentality because I'm telling you, man, when that business is not right, you're not going to be able to be your best artist. It's take a strong artist to know they get in film and go out there perform correctly. I don't see how they do it. I'd be like, I have a start to concert. Me a concert, man, don't play that song. (laughing) I only own that joke, man. I'm getting 400,000 for this show tonight, but that song on me is 60 million. (laughing) Hey, so that's a very important thing to touch on too, man. How do you keep the art and the entrepreneur properly represented at the same time? Kamol artist can't handle being. - Yeah. - And mama fuckin' who handle being the right can't, they can't do the art. How do you keep 'em both going at the same time? - Man, I ain't gonna lie, bro. It's a lot of game in that Bible. And here in Jesus' story, see you wanna think about it, even if people think Jesus ain't real, that story's so inspiring. A story had power. 'Cause think about, I followed my daddy, though, because everything I thought, they was real. I ain't know my daddy was in his feelings about my mama. So I became stronger than him because the story was strong. So what I did, I'm like, both of 'em is a talent. So if you are artists, people so mostly been business, disrespect the artists. Most people are artists, disrespect the business. But I was like, what if I was Jay-Z and got done all over the Bible, come like, I pulled from his art. And I remember going to Jay-Z concert and he said, I looked at his hand, 'cause I didn't know I was a director yet. This is why I did the skits. And he said, I'm a hustler, period. And he's like, he did his hand like this. I said, ooh, look at his hand. - What the hell, I mean? - He was sure about it, man. I ain't even know rapper. That mean his spirit been trying to tell people, I got good at rap because I'm a hustler. It's like T.I. T.I. like, hey, it's like I'm, I seen it in that little baby. The baby was the new generation. I gotta be honest, he a bigger hustler than that. They tell us, I seen the other of them take off. I seen everybody take off. The other was like artists. Of the real, he dressed different. He had his flow. But once a little baby's seen that money, You, that one even him rapping no more. (laughing) Once a little baby's seen that money. (laughing) Go listen, go listen to the baby on the song. Whoa, they got during my turn. - Yeah. - He meant it. - Yeah. - Oh, they playing. So hustling both of them are art. And when you finally get them to be a holy matrimony with each other, it's like a good marriage. They start talking to each other. - You can talk about marriage, man. You ready to get on down. - Yeah, I'm ready to get married, man. It's out here, man, got time. I'm too tired. - What you think about what everybody's saying? Like what they be like the young people saying the marriages, the concept is dead. - They ain't had a bunch of women they hold like. - Marriages for Popeye. - They ain't had them. - I don't have them. - I think it was Paul Piers. Paul Piers said marriage for Popeye. - Man, Paul Piers ain't had no women to he start drumming that ball, man. That's what I'm saying. - You just spit in Paul Piers and the child ain't like that in that department. - That ain't true now, 'cause you come on. - Come on. - Yeah. - What's up? - I don't know where Paul Piers is. - Man, you know that ain't trying to speak again. - Paul Piers, I love you bro, but with him. - I can't dunk, and you ain't like that. - I can't dunk a basketball with a women. (laughing) - You keep it real to one, to one, to one. See, we can tell if baby Glangie made it. - Big Glangie got that chick. - Yeah, man. - Where I say your favorite liar in my world. - Which one? - What the effus fame to me? - I've been poppin' since kindergarten. He was a lame to me. - Yeah. - So that what I'm saying, most men who's saying that ain't had 'em, they ain't had 'em, they won 'em's bus dots. - They've been, women jumping on 'em in middle school about this drama. So it's like, at this point, I'm tired, bro, I'm really looking. - Yeah, I remember girl, a girl, a girl fight. She fought me, 'cause I broke up with her. - I got jumped. - She wanted to fight me. - Bro, actually, she fought, she put her hands on me. - We need to get a group of her guys. We really were getting girls. - Like I think they were third grade, bro. I broke up with her, her name, her club. - So you think? - I broke up with her, she got them took off on me. - So you think, Paul Piotr already says, "I'm gonna keep going." (laughing) - So you think Paul Piotr has some, they start fighting on him, till they see they got done in the air. - Yeah, I don't know, man. What the thing about it, bro? I mean, we can be mean, so I can get away with it, bro. - If I had the guess, man, I would say he was so focused on being the best basketball player he could be. He probably didn't have a lot of time for it. - See, now you're eliminating gifts. (laughing) - I got a lot of child support because it's a gift. I don't know if it's a lot of pain because it's a gift. A lot of women's butts down. Now if he even let me say, I can hoop. Everybody ain't got that when it comes to women, bro. - I feel it, I mean. - No, no, that's a gift too. - If it's in you, it's up to you. - Yeah, let me tell you something. I'm an analytical person. - Okay. - You dropped. - Let me see what song. Hey, let's get away. - Yeah. - Bro, do you understand? It was bigger songs, but they rocked with that song 'cause they like, he got the women for real. Bro, that wasn't even no singer that somebody could pull out. - It would. - But get away. - It meant something in that moment. - Because you know why? It's like when I tell a joke on stage about women, you know why? If I go and park as, and they talk, this is gonna go out. Because they believe it. - My baby mom was a homecoming queen. - All your baby mom was a homecoming queen. - I was just about to say, no, no, no. (laughing) (laughing) (laughing) - I was sick. (laughing) - Two out of five. (laughing) - Oh my. - I was just like, you stupid, bro. - I was just about to say. (laughing) - I'm glad you said it. - But two out of five. (laughing) - But the two albums really went. - Yeah. - The other ones I snuck with, they ain't getting on the court. - But they out, but all your baby mama get along now. - Yeah, they get along. That money make them, that money make them get along. They good actors. (laughing) They pay, they pay the actors. - Yeah. - You know, they all cool now, man. But, yeah, but it's like, man. - It is a different because you could tell that a lot of people need it the same in order to. - I know why you act like that now. - I was wanting to know why you, I said why T.I. 'Cause when he was young, he don't got more wills than that. And I was like, why T.I. He don't like the fly because he was an alien. 'Cause I'm like that. (laughing) - It's so many of the guys who tell them all that, you don't find out. It's smaller just the, it's better for business. - Just to act like that. - But I'm like, bro, we just got to find more people like us. - That's real. - So we do exist. - And when we, and when we find them. - We don't need them, what? - We need to stay away. - You ain't lonely no more. - You find another real, so you ain't got a streak who you are. - You're real. - 'Cause you are, sir. - Yeah, if you, if you, if you, if you was a, - I do. - I do. - I do. - I do. - I do. - I do. - Is that, so you, oh, don't talk 'em out. (laughing) Why are you sure that like you don't know? (laughing) - Hey, and the women know. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I don't know about the hoop, the culture like Ella, I was the, 'cause the women like the, Alan. (laughing) I don't care. Some people like me. Why they don't call my name like they, man. Ella, I was like, they'll hell with y'all. La, la, la. He was here a minute away. - Yeah. - If Ella, I was the one who made the basketball, man, he was going, no girl going like a minute away. - Yeah. - So it ain't that many of us, but when God gave us that gift, they wanted us to shrink it. - Yeah. - Because they ignored it. And anytime you ignore something, you become ignorant. - That's right. - It's like, it's like right now, if you bring a comedian, most of the time they want you put my name on list, and all of them know. - Why do you think that deal? - Because I'm him, and I know it. They ain't figured out, my child put a paid up in a Ferrari. They know the difference out here. They see it, they ain't blind. I'm getting to many of you, 'cause I know they watch it. - Yeah. - But they're not going to do it because it's about the women. If the women like you, you're not going to be chosen by the world unless you're contained. - Right. - If you got that free spirit and you out here like, man, hey man, I'm not going to let them tell me what to do. I'm going to do this. Now, if you move in structure, we'll let you be seen. Because that means, if you got that two men, if you two influence over the women, you two powerful. Now, you two powerful as a rapper, you so powerful, you had nobody to touch you, you had to be your enemy. Because you, brother, you need to kneel at the class. They got you in the mood. This ain't watching. I'll play baseball. You going to play baseball? - What is he? - Man, the man's too powerful, man. - Man, the man's in takers. This man got to go, man, you know, I mean, the people are so happy with what. So, stuff start happening to you. - God. - When we going to be able to get a cursor, he got the street because this way, have with somebody got the women. They have the streets in the Corp, like, I got this thing. They don't think about it. They don't seem. But I'm the one getting the netflix special. I got the streets. - Yeah. - And I got the Corp at work because when the women like you, it's only going to be a bunch of men really slaying, and the women going lie like they don't like you, because they make them feel a little awkward. - Never couldn't. But the thing is it's going to keep them, it's going to keep their house whole. - Yo. - I was just talking to a girl. - The woman going to say the shill, like it, because she were on a man who she didn't know going to trip if he found out she would like you. - I talked to a girl for the street, bro. She from Florida. She said, when I first started dropping videos, the dope boy was showing them me, because I'm a comedian. So deal with what I did in the beginning. I'll tell you this, I'll tell you this. She said, she showed her dude, her dude, like, man, look at this dude, like, she said, all her friends was calling me lame on purpose because they knew, hold up, but it looked different than the other comedian. We can't play with him like that, right? So when I first started doing comedy, I acted corner on purpose. I had my eye dead because I knew if I came in who I really was, the guys weren't going to share me, like they share me. - So you played it that way? - I played it that way. Like, I couldn't wrap. I was on their, like, going with the chickens and the dogs. Yo, everybody was like, oh, cut your way and look for the dude, but when I started locking up and being who I am, like, oh, it was too late. But I played the game because I seen how, I seen how when you was out there with up, I'm like, bro, this is, so look, man, that, that, that bring me to my neck question. What's harder in your opinion? Making people laugh, online in 60 seconds, or holding an audience's attention and making the laugh for an hour. - Oh, I, I want to stay, I want to stay, that's why you see social media comedians, a lot of me ain't got no special because the whole of my stage, you really got to have something to talk about. - Yeah. - You got to have an event to something because eventually, for an hour, the 8K just tells jokes, you're going to have to-- - Yeah, the interesting. - You got to be interesting. So it's like, that's always going to be harder, and that's the thing that, that's the separation from the social media comedians into what I was able to do to get these specials because, man, I got the, I got the content. - That ain't better to come out more. - I'm the third in nostalgia. - Nostalgia. - Nostalgia. - Nostalgia. - Nostalgia. - You know, I said Nostalgia, I'm going to work with Kickin' Your Egg. - Oh, what? - Kickin' Your Egg. - I think I named it. I'm glad you told me. - Yeah. - Because I'm about to go on a press run. It's Nostalgia. - This is Nostalgia. You know, and I think, speaking of Nostalgia, thinking back, when you first started, and what you thought success looked like, how has your vision of success changed that it you had? - So, I feel like I thought it was. I feel exactly, I feel like I'm selling dope again, this time I got word by the police. So you let me ask you something, when you were selling dope, you ain't getting hated on by the dope boys and then like that. Yeah, I was hated on by, I had the club jumping. So they had to, they had to run to me, because I had the club, what saved me, the girls used to protect me. So I, my girl, Gina was the most popular girl, you know what I'm saying. Where, what city is this? This Statesboro. Statesboro. Oh yeah, they, and they haven't been there enough to check. Yeah, yeah. They told you to come out in the cut list when you was on, it was a Monte Carlo, yeah, a Monte Carlo, okay. Yeah, but that time, I was from Millen, but I went and took over Statesboro and they hated me, but when you're so popular, like nobody never told you they hate you, but bro, you guys don't hate them. I got some hate them. What about Rob? Rob was this, I did it. So she had a screen though that was on, she had a screen though that way in the project. I said, I don't know the way they come here, they gonna have to solve this door. I said, guys with me, because she the only one had a screen though that, well, when I say that, you could move it. Yeah. It was going to do a real project screen though, so I had it, but I ain't hang with nobody. That's why I ain't hang with nobody. My brothers don't try to bring people around, but people try to bring people around me not. Right. I only talk to us a lit through a people card. I know how people are. I seen it with my daddy, but he couldn't see it. He thought everybody loved him, like, bro, man, nobody love you right here hitting these girls. Don't nobody want no man around who they think new girls even from the come from the come get because they doing everything for that. Right. That was them. They doing everything to get the girl the things that we were born with, that's what they were working. Yeah. That's right. So when we shrink that, because I want to shrink it sometimes, I was like, I was like, what you talking about? Man, be just be feeling. I'm like, no, but they're y'all going to start. You got that stuff playing with it. When your energy, and those songs, and you like, you don't know, you might have seen it. That's the only way they get in a place. And when you said, I'm the king, when you said I'm the king, and I was like, man, that's the energy. I was, when you were saying you the king of the South, I was saying I was the king of the country. I had a shirt. It's online. When I stopped, when I got laid off, I was selling dope. And I say, if I go to prison, got done, I'm finna go try and make it. I had a shirt called King of the Country. All the dudes in my small time milling was at Popeye's. It's to be part of that Popeye's when we go to the club. I got out of the car, crying big on 22. I say, do anybody got a problem with this? This one I was cousin. It's a child to you. Everybody got a problem with this right here. Do anybody got a problem with this? And I swear to God, then boys, they told me once get them, they all had guns. I don't know how I'm going without a gun. They said, no, bro, I ain't going to lie to you. You have that talking like that with no pistol, no, nothing. But that's the only time people respect me is when I finally turn up until my, when a person like us, it's like L.I.R.V.S. then L.I.R.V.S. and stepping over Tyrone. That's when y'all going to respect. DCM flat too. He like that. Yeah, yeah. You got to, you got to talk it because if not, they going to ignore it. And if they ignore it, you mess with my money now because you letting the false narrative go out here. You don't want to, you don't want to talk, I'm going to home a brother. I'm going to tell you one thing that made me, I don't want to say dumb it down, but it made me not care as much. Going to prison. Yeah, I about to say that you went through something, man. Going to prison, it made me reevaluate my priorities. You know what I mean? It made me see that a lot of the shit that I really cared about wasn't important. Yeah. I mean, a lot of the stuff like, when you have not just your own problems, but been around other people who locked up 18 years and got 14 more to go, man, you just see how important other shit is. So when I got home, a lot of things that I just would have been up in arms about, I just didn't care as much, no, you feel me. But you were absolutely correct about the me feeling like, you know what, bro, let me, I got to where I start calling people king, just so they don't know I ain't got to be the only king. What's having the king? If you believe you're a king, you could be, you know what I mean, what's having the king? How you doing, bro? That's just so you won't already feel intimidated by me calling myself king. But you supposed to make a feeling to me. I mean, bro. It worked, it worked out well, I'm looking at telling you, bro, I tried both ways. They got go, I promise you, you think these people don't even want to believe in Jesus? That's true. He, all the way to believe in Jesus, he got come back and walk on water and told, look, man, don't matter what you do with me. They still prayed me. I sell out every Sunday and I ain't got show up. You go. Like, Jesus going to have to come back and pop it because right now they really like, I don't know Jesus like, bro, I'm telling you, it's a sin for us not to pop it. Man, you guys, so you speaking about selling out of air Sunday, Jesus not having to show up and you know, I'm not really shy about my feelings about, you know, the performance or the business of church. How active are you in your participation in Sunday service? I ain't been, I ain't been in church in 24 years, right, 20 something years. Well, if anybody said to the Bible knows that, you know, Jesus is, or the church is in the body. It's the body of Christ. I'm not saying I paid my money for you to make me feel bad. Well, I don't think we should pay no money for you to make me believe that your prayers get the go up quicker than mad. Yeah. I ain't no way they prayers get. Hey, man, if they prayer, you want to keep asking for money. If your prayers record, tell me give you no money so I come here for free. Hey, man, but I, I get it. They sell the product, they sell the product and they like any product better than what they would have been doing if they wouldn't do it. Yeah, the past is definitely successful. I respect. I just want to check and see how many members was as successful as the past. Boy. I tell you what? This is why I say church is still good because at least for a couple of hours, they're staying out of trouble. That's real. That's real. I agree with that. And if you go in the club, we still pay to go in the club and hookah smoke all in our eyes. I just want to jump over to put marijuana in my face. That hookah smoke. Yeah. That hookah smoke being your eyes. So it's like, we paying to go in there and walk out with hookah smoking eye hair. Might we'll just get a pass a little money, man. God, I'm telling our church. I'm bleeding God. I'm coming. Look, I've had passes and I got, you know, I go to church and I respect you to it. I respect you. I mean, but I respect anybody coming to me straight up. Ain't going to do that. Ain't no, ain't no tricks. I don't, you know, the baby can get it all, the bell can't get none. Yeah. Anybody coming straight up? Like I have a pastor. A few pastors that come to me like, a man, man, I need, I need your help with the AC unit. Yeah. 8,000 to probably give us, give us. I like that. And I hear them. No problem, bro. There you go. Exactly. But don't tell me that you're thrilled because they really run a gang. See me walk here and now Oliver is another offering. I ain't going. Because if I get this church out of this money and you say I'm going to heaven and I get that. And I don't go. That's why it goes. Come back to hut. What car? Yeah. The goal come back. Hey, man. That was a whole lot goes here. Man. Hey. Don't listen to me. It take more than this to get you in. It takes more than this house. I'm still trying to get this. Man. Tell the people the truth. Man. You got to work. Oh, man. Believe it. Oh, man. Believe it. God. Believe it. God. Believe it. God. - Even God, man, believe in God, you'll sit, find a good relationship with God, you'll sit up. - Got the head of it. - But it's just like, sometimes some parts are not all. They don't want people to find it for themselves because they fear losing members. But when you, when you're heading for a goal and God don't get your mission, you should feel losing somebody. When I stopped cursing and started going more positive, I lost the audience. I lost, I was, I was so hot at first. Ever rapper was sharing me and something, but man, somebody came to me and told me to stop cursing. I don't like it. But when you stop cursing, you open yourself up for my plan. - Yeah, exactly. - I lost the audience. - But guess what happened? I lost some people, but it got me a new audience 'cause all the aunties started loving countrymen, you know what I'm saying? And I grabbed another one, so I ain't lose no money, but I did, lose it. But I didn't care about losing, but then when I came back, they don't want me to drill. I got the hood right back because nobody can play that character like me because they couldn't speak the lingo. Because most of the content creators, they don't know how to, I was talking about Yorke, four away, two in the baby, so all the dope boys from out of country were like, oh, hold up. - Man, they man, no sir, you're paying no cash. (laughing) They laying for himself. - Drup was, now the fact Drup got a move, they were working on Drup a movie right now. I was gonna tell you about that, but. - Man, that was a lot. - This is gonna be, this is gonna be a Lana's legend. This is gonna be a real major move, Drup getting a movie. But I don't pass us sometimes get to lose their members if they just tell them the truth. Look, I'm gonna tell y'all now, man. Conjus Church, tell me you're gonna get saved. - The spirit of gonna tell you when it's real and when it's, when it's, when it's flow. I ain't gonna lie and I felt the presence of a real preacher speaking and know that you are anointed and you actually are. Your purpose is to stand here and deliver the word to people. You're a pastor. I get it now. Some of the power I get. You know what the Spirit just told me? What? I get it. Someone in a rapist was meant to be pastors. So since the rappers that become pastors, it's a lot of people who don't supposed to be in that position of leadership, Because the way you speak it can hit a lot of people by just being you right because you're going to be your church going to be real No, cuz you got a church You got a church whether you may have a follow man. You know what? No, it's yeah, I mean you need to send me your call in no more, maybe man. I ain't going down that route. I just can't I cook but you are But you already are I ain't saying you got to start a church, but what I'm saying you already I'm telling you what you did. It's like right now country Wayne to touch somebody I know what you did You touched the real right it fitted the real that you created a versions It's like pop said he said I might not be the one, but I'm a ignite the mind. That's right I'm a spy the one so him being who he is don't matter if people think it's wrong or right He was another one who inspired me Because I'm like he's being who and I think that's what The church need because it's like at the end of the day, bro The church can't be So holy but dead in poor job. That's real Now how you tell me how to live with showing me how to die because the biggest killer in the community right now for us. We know If they got their food and share fish too, and shit.

We got ham hocks right out of the room So we try we try to die. We try to go with like but so we it's amazing how we can be so You know if we all sent us flesh is weak, but so but how we could be so judgmental because people seeing differently than we do And it's not right you can talk about somebody for instance if they curse or if they drink or if they Commit adultery if they find a cake you can talk about that But in the book is say no port Say you not pose to eat swan or share fish. That's probably why you so woke I heard you say you ain't ain't a port since what grade man third so I stop and you would walk at a young age I kept up to the share for I just stop each share fish not too long man listen here, man They and then after that though, it also saying I'ma get in trouble for it It also say you don't get a trouble.
