00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.320
I came out with. Yes, sir, you know the l
12
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.399
A hat is so important out here in Los Angeles.
13
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.600
It is. But I believe you're responsible for the Sox
14
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.119
hat too. Well.
15
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.119
You know when the socks changed their colors to black
16
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:43.079
and gray or silver or whatever, and you know we
17
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.079
used to look for it wasn't a lot of teams
18
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:46.799
with the black.
19
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.520
Yeah, you know the Kings and that's pretty much it.
20
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.679
Yeah yeah, so uh we was looking at rocking new
21
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.000
hat and that was the one.
22
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.079
That was the one. It became such a staple, like
23
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.960
a fashion statement. Yeah it did.
24
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.119
You know, they they saw a lot of mark.
25
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.439
What about the color black?
26
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.840
Is it that you're like, you know, I just think
27
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.680
it's you know, it's it's it's where it all started.
28
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.040
In a way, you know, it reminds me of you know,
29
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.959
starting off with n w A locking in on like
30
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.239
we was all gonna we're black. It's defiance, isn't. Yeah,
31
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.799
And you know it's really about you know, the color
32
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.840
that you know I'm most comfortable in, No, for sure,
33
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.480

34
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:38.480

35
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:38.799
Yeah?
36
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.680
Well, you know, I just look at it as you know,
37
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.760
we uh, you know, we're serious, so we want to
38
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.319
take it serious. Yes, sir man down congratulations, let's talk
39
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.599
about the cover man because I've been there as a
40
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.439
kid right growing up where I grew up, so I've
41
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.439
seen I felt this.
42
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.560
It spoke to me right away.
43
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.400
Yeah, you know it's uh, it means different things different people,
44
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.799
but it's really about, you know, what what happens when
45
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.879
all the you know, serious men or the men that
46
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.719
you know hold the society yup, you know, are down,
47
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.879
like you know, we gotta as men get back up.
48
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.800
And you know, I just feel like it's as a man,
49
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.759
there's nothing to brag about right now, and we just
50
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.479
got to get things back in order, so to speak.
51
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.520
Because it's coming off the rails. And you know, we
52
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.960
just need more serious men around here. That's right, that's right,
53
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.639
more serious men who stand up for what they believe in,
54
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.560
for the for their values, everything they believe in. Yeah,
55
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.159
you know, don't be afraid to be yourself and you know,
56
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.360
show the show the world who you are and not
57
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.360
always taking.
58
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.439
A step back. It's my ego is out, it's my ego.
59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.400
Yeah, you know, it's a song that's celebrating our ego.
60
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.759
You know, all our lives we told like ego. You know,
61
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.759
being full of yourself is a bad thing. But then
62
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.360
you have a lot of people who don't even know themselves.
63
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.479
You know, they they don't lost theirselves because they trying
64
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.840
to conform to society, or they trying to fit in,
65
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.080
or they just trying not to be pointed out. You know,
66
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.560
some people don't want to stick out. But nobody likes normal,
67
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.199
to be honest, nobody likes regular. I was like, yo,
68
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.719
you want to you want to go eat a regular lunch?
69
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.199
You want to go eat a normal sandwich. Nobody would
70
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.520
be like, yeah, let's do that. You know, so right,
71
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.319
you want to be extraordinary and your ego is the
72
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.199
first step and letting the world know you unique. You know,
73
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.759
you're the only one that's ever been. Ain't nobody coming
74
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.800
like you after you? It's just you and let the
75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.919
world know that that's right. Thank you for saying that
76
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:57.800
about me. I appreciate it. No maniacs though, right, And
77
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.280
then we get like Buster Rhymes and Killer Mike, like, yo, yeah,
78
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.840
that's that's extraordinary.
79
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.319
That's not blending in. That's gonna stand out, no doubt.
80
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.800
You know, having uh, one of the best on the West,
81
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.560
one of the best on the East, one of the
82
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.360
best in the South, get down on the track is
83
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.759
covering all bases and people love it. You know, we're
84
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.600
about to drop a video soon to that track, and
85
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.800
you know, keep this thing going.
86
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.279
That's too easy to down with so much strategy. You
87
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.560
guys were intentional about covering Grot of.
88
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:33.040
Course, you know, everything should be intentional. And you know,
89
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.600
we had a song that was really moving and to
90
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.160
have a you know, to have two Dope MC's jump
91
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.959
on the remix, you know, and then you know me,
92
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.160
you know, dropping a new verse.
93
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.560
It's just all part of the celebrating that song. It's
94
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.120
my ego.
95
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.839
Yeah, man, you know the cover's crazy, the music is crazy.
96
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.360
You never disappoint you report live from it. Dog, I
97
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.720
think you run towards danger.
98
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.360
Is that? Is that correct? You know?
99
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.480
Things that I feel like I can speak on in
100
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.680
a dope hip hop form is what it's all about, storyteller, right, Hey, yeah,
101
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.480
it's about street knowledge.
102
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:11.800
You know.
103
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.519
That's what I've been kicking from day one, and I'm
104
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.519
gonna continue to kick street knowledge.
105
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:17.399
That's for sure. Man.
106
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.399
You know, I saw a clip recently where you said, like,
107
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.040
I put a lot of people in movies, but nobody
108
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.160
has put me in a movie. Like I don't have
109
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.680
to write everything, I don't have to produce everything. I
110
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.680
don't have to direct. But then I thought about that,
111
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.160
I'm like, okay, Well, Cub was one of those guys
112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.959
where you think, like, what do I get the guy
113
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.279
that has everything right? And the answer to that, I
114
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.920
think is something small, something that means something right. So
115
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.800
are you down for like a legendary cameo or do
116
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.800
you need to be the lead in.
117
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.959
Something for someone to bring you in like a friend
118
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:45.399
of yours?
119
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.519
Well, you know, I want to have an impact in
120
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:49.920
the movie.
121
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.360
It's got to mean something.
122
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.160
Just a character that has an impact. It doesn't have
123
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.399
to be a large role, but it has to, you know,
124
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.720
affect the movie. Yeah, it's just you know a lot
125
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.560
of people ask why you didn't put this one in
126
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.319
that and this one and that. As far as people
127
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.360
in movies, it's if they can't, if they can't benefit
128
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.839
of being in the movie, it's not gonna help their career.
129
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.160
So I put people in movies when I know I
130
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.279
got a roll for you that if you get it right,
131
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.240
you hit it right, you're gonna you're gonna blow up.
132
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.920
And so you know, I want the same thing, you
133
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.279
know what I mean, give me something juice. I'm just
134
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.439
having me walk through like you know, ice Cube in
135
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.800
the background.
136
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.560
Extra one.
137
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.160
Yeah, you know we're not doing that. I'm like, you
138
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.279
could have been in the New Gladiator joint. You feel me.
139
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.120
You got the classic stare down, the classic mean mug,
140
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:47.800
you know what I mean?
141
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.959
Yeah, I think you could have been in that.
142
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.560
I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I
143
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.000
want to.
144
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:53.279
Be in here.
145
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.120
After I see it, you know, maybe I changed my
146
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.319
mind for sure. C this is Jack your mirror. She's
147
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.240
an Inn stadium host, a Dodger stadium.
148
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.040
She's all ye, salute. How you doing.
149
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.839
I'm so like proud to be from la and and
150
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.439
I know you performing at Game two was such a
151
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
legendary moment. I do want to tell you though, behind
152
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.839
the scenes, seeing how everything panned out, everyone was so nervous,
153
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.519
so excited.
154
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.079
But I also noticed.
155
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.399
My boss had gotten a bunch of merch for you, yes,
156
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.240
And I felt so bad because I had told my
157
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.800
boss at Dodgers. I was like, yo, they just gave
158
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.600
you a gang of stuff right now, Like you got hats,
159
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.920
you got lettermans. And he's like, okay, cool, you want
160
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.480
to go check it out. He goes, this is actually
161
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.879
for Cube, this is none of this.
162
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.160
Is for me, And I felt so bad. Yeah, but
163
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.160
it's don't to be a part of something like that.
164
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.959
So there.
165
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.920
I mean, like it's like I said, it was a.
166
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.040
Pivotal moment, next level, you know, not my wildest dreams
167
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.600
that I think I was going to be able to
168
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.959
be a part of, you know, a Dodger's World series first,
169
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.639
the Yankees, you know, that's just it was you. I
170
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:08.319
couldn't have scripted a better, uh story, and so to
171
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.079

00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.600
the sun was beaming, you know what I mean.
226
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.960
It hits you a little different way off that you
227
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.120
come out the bow down, and then you know, you
228

229
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.039
like man, like let's go la and Fernando Man. I
230
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.480
remember Fernando Mania, you know, I remember how it just
231
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.440
swept the city and and we was all rooting for
232
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.360
him because of you know where you come from, Like
233
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:30.399
you know, we felt like, yo, somebody that was straight,
234
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.440
you know, from the bottom to the top, you know
235
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.360
what I mean. And Uh and was was blowing him away,
236
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.879
you know, like they could not hit they could not
237
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.000
hit Fernando for nothing. So it was it was great
238
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.399
to be able to honor him and Uh and win
239
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.600
the World Series verse the Yankees man insane, right, I
240
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.240
couldn't write a better script for real, Hey.
241
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.799
On Man Down one of my favorite songs of so Sensitive,
242
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.639
at least the ones that I've heard, because I feel
243
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.039
like that song needed to be you know, sung and
244
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.039
be out there in the world because everybody is so
245
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.440
sensitive on the internet. But there's a line that says,
246
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.440
don't be a pussy all your life. Sometimes you got
247
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.879
to be a dick. You gotta be a dig sometime
248
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.600
and get hard.
249
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:22.240
Yeah yeah, yeah.
250
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.600
Yeah, you know I'm with that all day.
251
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.919
Yeah, yeah, So it was important to make that Why
252
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.120
was it important to make that song?
253
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:24.799
Right now?
254
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.559
Do you feel that the world is headed in a
255
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.159
place that we can't do anything like where comedians are
256
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.279
getting checked, where rappers are getting checked, where it's just
257
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.399
become too sensitive exactly.
258
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.000
You know, that's you know, nail on the head. We
259
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.919
can't we can't worry about people feelings over the facts.
260
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.799
You know, it's facts over feelings all day. And you
261
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:50.480
know when people start to you know, get too sensitive
262
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.200
over things that you know maybe they should brush off
263
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.480
or keep it moving, then everybody start to censor their
264
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.159
self and you know, not beat themselves and you know,
265
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:07.039
try to be so politically correct, and and now everything sucked.
266
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.799
You know what I'm saying.
267
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.240
So you know that's that's another thing where I think,
268
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.039
you know, people need to especially the men. You know,
269
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.519
you gotta you gotta hard en up, man, you gotta
270
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.000
you know what I mean, toughen up.
271
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.480
Damn.
272
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.159
Just toughen up, man, don't you know? Don't worry about
273
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.559
everything is gonna go your way.
274
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:22.759
Man.
275
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.960
You ain't got to always complain about it. You know
276
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.960
what I'm saying, you do, man, you know, get this
277
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.639
man a tissue, man, like you know, keep a tissue. Man,
278
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:38.120
Go cry in the car, you know, keep it in
279
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.799
the car, man.
280
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.080
You know what I'm saying. When you get out, man,
281
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.200
look hard. Keep it in the shower too. Yeah, that
282
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:46.720
is sad.
283
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.559
If you cry and you already getting wet, that's it,
284
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.360
doesn't it's like.
285
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.679
Crying in the rain.
286
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.519
Yo.
287
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.679
You mentioned like you know you're being tough in all this,
288
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.679
but and with the song, what are you sensitive about?
289
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.240
Though? I feel like I'm sensitive about sensitive people. You know.
290
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.200
It's like I get on my nerves.
291
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:13.200
That irritates me somebody a little too, you know, like man,

tough enough, man, I don't want to hear it, like
293
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.360
I'm like, man, shut it up. You know what I'm say,
294
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.480
I don't want to hear complaining and crying, and you know,
295
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:25.720

00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.360
think we got adult record with me and be real call,
340
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.320

341
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.240
an anthem for LA. You know, it's gonna be, you know,
342
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:40.080
a call for us to to work together more as
343
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.320
you know so closely, you know, entwined in LA. You
344
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.559
know what I mean. So let's get it.
345
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.360
Yeah, to that point atty more like the impact of
346
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:52.519
hip hop do is global?
347
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.120
Right, it's all Latin America. Have you ever done a
348
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:57.080
Latin America tour?
349
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:02.120

No budget, make this happen somehow, and you gotta get
357
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.079
paid at the end of the day.
358
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:29.960
At the end of the day. There we go.
359
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.400
Yeah, man down, let's talk about the features, man and
360
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.400

00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:47.319
got snoop E forty h two short, corrupt, be real
363
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.960
like I said, exhibit You know, we all been down
364
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.720
for so long, and some of us done records before together,
365
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.839
some of us haven't. And it's only right especially you know,
366
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.279
I wanted to lean into the West Coast on this record,
367
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.759
lean into our flavor how we do music, not always
368
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.000
chasing this sound or that sound. But you know, people
369
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.960
love you know that the West Coast grooves, you know
370
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.920
what I mean, those melodies, you know what I mean
371
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.160
that you know funk, that funk, that g funk, you
372
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.240
know what I mean. That's that's our style, you know,
373
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:31.440
especially in the you know, Southern California. So lean into it,
374
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.640
you know, do what we do best. Yeah, it's classic
375
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.240
always reaching, it's classic Q. But's who you are, It's
376
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.599
what we get you feel me. I mean, this record
377
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.880
is really for the Day one fan.
378
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.279
That's it.
379
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.559
You know. If you if you're a Day one fan,
380
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.799
you're gonna love it. Everybody else got to get in
381
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.279
where they fit in too easy. Is there a song
382
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.960
on there that we haven't heard that you can't wait
383
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.559
for the world.
384
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:51.839
They hear.
385
00:18:54.920 --> 00:19:04.640
The ghetto story she sanctified, especially you. I think it's
386
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.519
a lot of good songs on there, and I can
387
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.160
name them all.
388
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.240
Why she sanctified.
389
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.039
I mean, it's a classic. You know, when you hear
390
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.640
the music, you'll know you know exactly uh where we
391
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.720
got it from. We got Snoop on there Eve forty
392
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:26.279
two short and October London, so it's it's a smash.
393
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.480
Yeah, shoot it to me, dog, let me hear it now.
394
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.640
They played got to it? What's up? Jack?
395
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.400
You know on the on the notes it says that
396
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.240
your wife is your best friend. How important is it
397
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.720
for you to just really be like a man and
398
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.720
hone in on really being dedicating to your partner and
399
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.119
being that that person for them.
400
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.480
It's everything. It's the most important part of my life
401
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.799
because we've built you know, beautiful family together, great kids.
402
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:10.680
Uh we now we got grandkids, so it's you know,
403
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:16.039
that's that's every parent dream is to raise good children.
404
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.759
And like we've done it together as partners. You know,
405
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.279
she's done a lot of the heavy lifting because sometimes
406
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.000
I wasn't there, and so I appreciate her for just
407
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.839
being the type of person that she is. And you know,
408
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.720
she could care less about Hollywood and the music business
409
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.640
and you know all this. You know, she's just happy
410
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.759
being herself and not you know, really looking to be
411
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.480
in the spotlight or or or any of that. So
412
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:54.079
you know, I respect her for that because you know,
413
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.359
you can easily, you know, get caught up in the
414
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.119
cameras and the lights and the action and want your credit.
415
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.079
So since I know she won't take her own credit,
416
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.519
you know, I like to give her, you know, her
417
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.279
props that's right for being the kind of words is
418
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.200
see Jack, there good in this world?
419
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.640
There are the.
420
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.480
Other day the other day she can find one nice
421
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.119
thing to say about it.
422
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.880
I did, how much do your grandkids get away with
423
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:25.599
more than your kids did?
424
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.119
Uh?
425
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.319
I mean not much? You know they you gotta teach
426
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.160
them right from wrong, no matter you know, if they're
427
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.200
yours or not. You know what I'm saying, Like, you
428
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.440
gotta show them, you know, what they can do, what
429
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.400
they can't do, and as long as they do what
430
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.720
they supposed to do, they don't have no problems out
431
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:43.920
of me.
432
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.240
That's right, that's right. But you are no. I gotta
433
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:48.920
you know, you gotta correct.
434
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.000
You gotta correct your children to make sure you know
435
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.960
they know right from wrong, what's acceptable, what's not acceptable,
436
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:03.960
and that you are serious about them, you know, doing
437
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.079
what they're supposed to do. And then you can love
438
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.880
them to death after spoil them. Yeah, you know, as
439
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.759
much as they need to be true, very true, all
440
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.839
the moderation, right, Yeah, you know, if they want something,
441
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.119
get it for them, you have to discipline them. I
442
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:22.359
give my parents this. I don't get my dad permission.
443
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.599
I get my mom permission to discipline my kid. I
444
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.799
mean disciplining well way. I don't know if you got
445
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.640
to tell them don't do that, or I want to
446
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:33.559
do that. If you in my house, then we got rolled. Yeah,
447
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.319
I run you in here. You gotta you know, buy
448
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.759
by the rules of my house. And so that's just it.
449
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.559
That's why it should be.
450
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.599
I'm not going to ask permission for that than Cube.
451
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:47.160
I know you're a legendary Raiders fan.
452
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.319
Should the Raiders tank to try to maybe get Shador
453
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.039
or to get somebody maybe Lord Dion to be the coach.
454
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.720
Of the Raider. I don't believe in tank.
455
00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:59.680
And even if you want to get a player, you know,
456
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.680
try to win every game, like that's what the fans
457
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.000
pay for, uh, and then you know, let the chips
458
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.880
for what they make when it comes to draft. You know,
459
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:16.400
tanking is very dangerous it you know it could you
460
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:21.720
know erode the league. If you know fans, you know,
461
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.640
like what if a team like I remember the seventy
462
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.960
six ers. I think they tank like three or four
463
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.400
years in a row. And I don't know if they've
464
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.000
recoup from that as far as fan base, as far
465
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.240
as what have they gotten out of that? But more misery,
466
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.559
And it's sometimes it's how you do things. So they
467
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.839
end up losing and getting them That's cool. But I
468
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:50.720
ain't with the tanking. Let's get it right, win right,
469
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:54.480
play the win every time. I'm not paying or you know,
470
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.839
spending three hours to watch you lose on purpose. Man,
471
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:03.359
I could do something, yo, I could be making the
472
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.440
EP dog doing anything other than that. If I know
473
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.119
you're gonna lose, I'm not watching them out exactly, not
474
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:09.640
even watch.
475
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:14.119
What's the future for the Big Three? Go?
476
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.519
You know season eight? I mean we're selling more teams
477
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:26.000
and you know, just grow the league organically, get new talent,
478
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.279
you know what I'm saying. Hopefully, get new sponsors. We're
479
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.480
looking for a second platform to play the games that's
480
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.079
not on CBS. So you know we got we go,
481
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:42.119
you know, big things, Yeah, the Big Three. I think
482
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.519
I think Netflix could stream the games. Man, Yeah, they can.
483
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.160
You know, all of the take is a check.
484
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.119
Yeah.
485
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.119
Yeah.
486
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.240
How authentic are you when it comes to doing those
487
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.759
deals with these big corporations?
488
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.559
How authentic are you?
489
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.160
Like what straight up?
490
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.200
Like you just I need boom boom or with the delegator.
491
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.559
For us process you got to play ball a little bit.
492
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.799
Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a formula that they're
493
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.039
looking for. It they're looking at for you to check
494
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.279
boxes that they need check. And if you check all
495
00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.720
the boxes, you know they should do the deal. If
496
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.279
you don't check as many boxes, then they're probably not
497
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.920
going to do the deal. And so you know, we're
498
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:33.680
going very confident. You know, our ratings are better than MLS,
499
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.200
n HL. The w n B A caught us this
500
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:43.680
year because of Caitlin Clark, but you know, so our
501
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.960
ratings are up there with with some major sports that's
502
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.880
been around for you know a long time.
503
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:51.440
Yeah.
504
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:58.160
So we you know, we deserve, you know, a great
505
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.720
platform to display again games like we are on CBS.
506
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.160
Man, I'm still campaigning for that big three box. Remember
507
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.000
I was telling you about like just the snacks like that.
508
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:14.000
Yeah, I mean we're talking to you know a few
509
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.519
different companies, And I just had this Munchie meal with
510
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.519
Jack in the box.
511
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:20.400
You know that was great.
512
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:24.920
Yeah, yeah, it was great, and you know it was
513
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.079
really successful for them, and so we're talking to them
514
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:31.839
about doing something with the Big Three. Hopefully they'll you know,
515
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.079
jump on it. Yeah yeah, Jack and the crack all day.
516
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:39.799
Oh man, you feel me, yes, sir Yo. As a
517
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.480
legendary Laker fan and as a father, what do you
518
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.079
make of lebron and Brownie.
519
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.240
Bronnie.
520
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.000
You know, it's time for him to go to work.
521
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.200
You know.
522
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:53.759
Lebron as a father, has done it's about as much
523
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.279
as he can do. Got him to the league. Now
524
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.240
it's really up to BRONI to put in that work
525
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:06.519
and and keep yourself there. Yeah, you know it's gonna
526
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:07.799
take a lot, but he's got to get to it.
527
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.119
Yeah.
528
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.559
At a certain point, you know, daddy can't do no
529
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.359
more for you. You gotta do it yourself. You got a
530
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:20.279
man up, yeah, or just you know, prove you belong
531
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.599
that's it. Yeah, prove it to yourself. Right at the
532
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.559
end of the day, if you really want to be there,
533
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.279
yeah sure, yeah, you really want to be the tough
534
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.240
space to be in, you know, there's a lot of pressure,
535
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.079
but he's got the right people behind him. Only pressure
536
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:35.759
is to put the ball in the hall. If you
537
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.160
do that, everything take care of itself. That's the only
538
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.720
pressure that he should worry about, is putting that ball
539
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.720
in the basket. Everything can take care of hisself. You know,
540
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.079
at the end of the day, he don't have to
541
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.200
play basketball. You know, he's cashed out. You know, daddy
542
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.400
is lebron So you know, I don't if it don't
543
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.200
work out for He'll be all right, you know.
544
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:09.319
Yeah. No, does Brownie have a space in the Big Three?
545
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.359
Yeah, of course. You know, he can always come out
546
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.720
and try to make a team. You know, we can't
547
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.960
give him a space, but he can earn it, get
548
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:20.519
drafted and earn the space.
549
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.640
Yeah. I mean you're ready to have Kaitlyn Clark in
550
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.079
the league? Yeah, we were. You know, you were fully
551
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:28.559
prepared for that. Yeah.
552
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.720
We think she would have did well because you know,
553
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.640
in our league, if you look at the style of play, yes,
554
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:40.119
it's it's pretty rough, but the small guards have had
555
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:45.279
success like mood Ab due Raouf, Nate Robinson. You know,
556
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.160
these are smaller guards and they've been able to get
557
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.000
loose so she's a you know, guard that could shoot
558
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.880
and pass. So we felt like she could really have
559
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.759
a chance to get loose. Now, if she was a
560
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:01.400
bigger player that had to plan the pain and kind
561
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.279
of bang, then we'll be like, I don't know, it's
562
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.599
probably not a good idea, right right, but we think
563
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:12.480
she had a legitimate shot to not only play but flourish,
564
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.440
especially with her range.
565
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.559
Yeah, for sure, not that would have been mad.
566
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.519
The coed league would open up a lot of more
567
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.880
doors and check a lot of more boxes.
568
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:22.480
With a milestone.
569
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.559
Yeah, I mean, you know, the right player get drafted
570
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:31.200
one day, you know, and we'll have a coed league.
571
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.200
I said, God's draft female players.
572
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.519
You've always been a risk taker when it comes to music, obviously,
573
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.039
like no Vassiline being probably the best this song ever
574
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:44.440
and then probably for sure for sure for sure sorry
575
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.440
about the miss working, But another song that always sticks
576
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.279
out to me that I wish people would do because
577
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.799
you know everything cyclical and hip hop, right like, was
578
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.119
Jack and for Beats at that time when you did
579
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:58.000
that and you literally took every fucking best beat from
580
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:00.200
East Coast and the West Coast and then said I'm
581
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.559
gonna do this shit my way.
582
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.599
Why don't people do things like that anymore? In hip hop?
583
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:10.759
It? Uh, you know, there's one hundred percent of publishing
584
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:16.440
on a song. That song has so many different beats,
585
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.880
and those beats sampled beats. I think we had like
586
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.279
seven and fifty percent of publishing on that song because
587
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.319
it was like, yeah it was it was more writers
588
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.079
than the song could could hold. You see what I'm saying.
589
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.160
So that's why those are not done. Because when you
590
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:42.799
take somebody beat and na've sampled from somebody, now you
591
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.759
have to pay not only the rapper who beat it was,
592
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.960
but you also have to pay the sample you know
593
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.359
who he sampled from. So you're you're double paying for
594
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.000
one song. And then if that if that guy sampled
595
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.559
two or three songs to make his beat, that makes
596
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:06.599
it lit longer at started, it starts to get mind boggling,
597
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.440
you know what I'm saying. So you know, my guy
598
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.200
came to me, I mean, Brian Turner, it was like,
599
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:18.960
don't don't ever do another one of these, you know,
600
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.039
just like for my last trick. You know, you know
601
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.480
what I'm saying, don't ever do this again. This was
602
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:30.839
a headache in a nightmare Thank god you for hip hop,
603
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:35.400
set a tone and set the bar exactly to this day. Yeah,
604
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:39.519
you know, it was just business wise, it was a nightmare. No, man,
605
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:44.279
you're a Redvine guy. Yeah, Twizzlers exactly.
606
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.279
Thank you.
607
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.960
Broakes like class ever, though you might as well eat
608
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.599
a strong.
609
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.880
Need a plastic toy and enjoy that.
610
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.759
Yeah, man, Redvines is the way to go. That's right,
611
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.799
that's right. I got Cuba's here, man, Man down. Congratulations.
612

You know.
615
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.279
I can't wait till you guys hear the rest of
616
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:11.200

633
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.559
Yeah, that's for you. I thought it was decorated. I'm like,
634
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.680
so it's sweet bread. It's just it's bread. It's but
635
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.680
it's like Mexican, Mexican.
636
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.319
It all tastes the same. It's just different colors.
637
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.599
I'd like to get your honest reaction for the culture.
638
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.279
Cube is trying for the very first time. Ice Gun.
639
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.480
Well, see, Cube is a realist. He's like, all right,
640
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.240
this is hard not to suck.
641
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:44.519
This is good pstream, bright frosting on the top. That's
642
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.720
pretty much it.
643
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.759
Yoh man.
644
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.240
We appreciate you Cube always. Man, thank you for your time.

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.200
Let me go man down. Is the album Cruise Show

the Cruise Show. Let's get it cute. Yeah ya yay.
3
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:07.360
My guy shot the DJ fuse for that intro right there.
4
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.679
Man, that was crazy. Thank you, bro, thank you.
5
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.560
And there's so many more songs. I mean, we could
6
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.480
be here all day though.
7
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.719
That's a that's a beautiful thing, beautiful thing.
8
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:17.320
Yeah, Bro.
9
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.480
I love the hat you got on today. That's a classic.
10
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.800
Yeah for sure. Block that block letter ice Q what
11
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.320
I came out with. Yes, sir, you know the l
12
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.399
A hat is so important out here in Los Angeles.
13
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.600
It is. But I believe you're responsible for the Sox
14
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.119
hat too. Well.
15
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.119
You know when the socks changed their colors to black
16
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:43.079
and gray or silver or whatever, and you know we
17
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.079
used to look for it wasn't a lot of teams
18
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:46.799
with the black.
19
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.520
Yeah, you know the Kings and that's pretty much it.
20
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.679
Yeah yeah, so uh we was looking at rocking new
21
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.000
hat and that was the one.
22
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.079
That was the one. It became such a staple, like
23
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.960
a fashion statement. Yeah it did.
24
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.119
You know, they they saw a lot of mark.
25
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.439
What about the color black?
26
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.840
Is it that you're like, you know, I just think
27
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.680
it's you know, it's it's it's where it all started.
28
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.040
In a way, you know, it reminds me of you know,
29
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.959
starting off with n w A locking in on like
30
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.239
we was all gonna we're black. It's defiance, isn't. Yeah,
31
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.799
And you know it's really about you know, the color
32
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.840
that you know I'm most comfortable in, No, for sure,
33
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.480
and all this ship is dead we in morning you
34
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:38.480
feel me? Well, you know like that too soon?
35
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:38.799
Yeah?
36
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.680
Well, you know, I just look at it as you know,
37
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.760
we uh, you know, we're serious, so we want to
38
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.319
take it serious. Yes, sir man down congratulations, let's talk
39
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.599
about the cover man because I've been there as a
40
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.439
kid right growing up where I grew up, so I've
41
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.439
seen I felt this.
42
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.560
It spoke to me right away.
43
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.400
Yeah, you know it's uh, it means different things different people,
44
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.799
but it's really about, you know, what what happens when
45
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.879
all the you know, serious men or the men that
46
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.719
you know hold the society yup, you know, are down,
47
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.879
like you know, we gotta as men get back up.
48
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.800
And you know, I just feel like it's as a man,
49
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.759
there's nothing to brag about right now, and we just
50
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.479
got to get things back in order, so to speak.
51
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.520
Because it's coming off the rails. And you know, we
52
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.960
just need more serious men around here. That's right, that's right,
53
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.639
more serious men who stand up for what they believe in,
54
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.560
for the for their values, everything they believe in. Yeah,
55
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.159
you know, don't be afraid to be yourself and you know,
56
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.360
show the show the world who you are and not
57
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.360
always taking.
58
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.439
A step back. It's my ego is out, it's my ego.
59
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.400
Yeah, you know, it's a song that's celebrating our ego.
60
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.759
You know, all our lives we told like ego. You know,
61
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.759
being full of yourself is a bad thing. But then
62
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.360
you have a lot of people who don't even know themselves.
63
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.479
You know, they they don't lost theirselves because they trying
64
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.840
to conform to society, or they trying to fit in,
65
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.080
or they just trying not to be pointed out. You know,
66
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.560
some people don't want to stick out. But nobody likes normal,
67
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.199
to be honest, nobody likes regular. I was like, yo,
68
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.719
you want to you want to go eat a regular lunch?
69
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.199
You want to go eat a normal sandwich. Nobody would
70
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.520
be like, yeah, let's do that. You know, so right,
71
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.319
you want to be extraordinary and your ego is the
72
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.199
first step and letting the world know you unique. You know,
73
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.759
you're the only one that's ever been. Ain't nobody coming
74
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.800
like you after you? It's just you and let the
75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.919
world know that that's right. Thank you for saying that
76
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:57.800
about me. I appreciate it. No maniacs though, right, And
77
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.280
then we get like Buster Rhymes and Killer Mike, like, yo, yeah,
78
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.840
that's that's extraordinary.
79
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.319
That's not blending in. That's gonna stand out, no doubt.
80
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.800
You know, having uh, one of the best on the West,
81
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.560
one of the best on the East, one of the
82
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.360
best in the South, get down on the track is
83
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.759
covering all bases and people love it. You know, we're
84
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.600
about to drop a video soon to that track, and
85
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.800
you know, keep this thing going.
86
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.279
That's too easy to down with so much strategy. You
87
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.560
guys were intentional about covering Grot of.
88
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:33.040
Course, you know, everything should be intentional. And you know,
89
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.600
we had a song that was really moving and to
90
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.160
have a you know, to have two Dope MC's jump
91
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.959
on the remix, you know, and then you know me,
92
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.160
you know, dropping a new verse.
93
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.560
It's just all part of the celebrating that song. It's
94
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.120
my ego.
95
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.839
Yeah, man, you know the cover's crazy, the music is crazy.
96
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.360
You never disappoint you report live from it. Dog, I
97
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.720
think you run towards danger.
98
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.360
Is that? Is that correct? You know?
99
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.480
Things that I feel like I can speak on in
100
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.680
a dope hip hop form is what it's all about, storyteller, right, Hey, yeah,
101
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.480
it's about street knowledge.
102
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:11.800
You know.
103
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.519
That's what I've been kicking from day one, and I'm
104
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.519
gonna continue to kick street knowledge.
105
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:17.399
That's for sure. Man.
106
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.399
You know, I saw a clip recently where you said, like,
107
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.040
I put a lot of people in movies, but nobody
108
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.160
has put me in a movie. Like I don't have
109
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.680
to write everything, I don't have to produce everything. I
110
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.680
don't have to direct. But then I thought about that,
111
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.160
I'm like, okay, Well, Cub was one of those guys
112
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.959
where you think, like, what do I get the guy
113
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.279
that has everything right? And the answer to that, I
114
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.920
think is something small, something that means something right. So
115
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.800
are you down for like a legendary cameo or do
116
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.800
you need to be the lead in.
117
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.959
Something for someone to bring you in like a friend
118
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:45.399
of yours?
119
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.519
Well, you know, I want to have an impact in
120
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:49.920
the movie.
121
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.360
It's got to mean something.
122
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.160
Just a character that has an impact. It doesn't have
123
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.399
to be a large role, but it has to, you know,
124
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.720
affect the movie. Yeah, it's just you know a lot
125
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.560
of people ask why you didn't put this one in
126
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.319
that and this one and that. As far as people
127
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.360
in movies, it's if they can't, if they can't benefit
128
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.839
of being in the movie, it's not gonna help their career.
129
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.160
So I put people in movies when I know I
130
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.279
got a roll for you that if you get it right,
131
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.240
you hit it right, you're gonna you're gonna blow up.
132
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.920
And so you know, I want the same thing, you
133
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.279
know what I mean, give me something juice. I'm just
134
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.439
having me walk through like you know, ice Cube in
135
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.800
the background.
136
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.560
Extra one.
137
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.160
Yeah, you know we're not doing that. I'm like, you
138
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.279
could have been in the New Gladiator joint. You feel me.
139
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.120
You got the classic stare down, the classic mean mug,
140
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:47.800
you know what I mean?
141
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.959
Yeah, I think you could have been in that.
142
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.560
I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I
143
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.000
want to.
144
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:53.279
Be in here.
145
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.120
After I see it, you know, maybe I changed my
146
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.319
mind for sure. C this is Jack your mirror. She's
147
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.240
an Inn stadium host, a Dodger stadium.
148
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.040
She's all ye, salute. How you doing.
149
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.839
I'm so like proud to be from la and and
150
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.439
I know you performing at Game two was such a
151
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
legendary moment. I do want to tell you though, behind
152
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.839
the scenes, seeing how everything panned out, everyone was so nervous,
153
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.519
so excited.
154
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.079
But I also noticed.
155
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.399
My boss had gotten a bunch of merch for you, yes,
156
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.240
And I felt so bad because I had told my
157
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.800
boss at Dodgers. I was like, yo, they just gave
158
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.600
you a gang of stuff right now, Like you got hats,
159
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.920
you got lettermans. And he's like, okay, cool, you want
160
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.480
to go check it out. He goes, this is actually
161
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.879
for Cube, this is none of this.
162
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.160
Is for me, And I felt so bad. Yeah, but
163
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.160
it's don't to be a part of something like that.
164
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.959
So there.
165
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.920
I mean, like it's like I said, it was a.
166
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.040
Pivotal moment, next level, you know, not my wildest dreams
167
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.600
that I think I was going to be able to
168
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.959
be a part of, you know, a Dodger's World series first,
169
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.639
the Yankees, you know, that's just it was you. I
170
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:08.319
couldn't have scripted a better, uh story, and so to
171
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.079
to be in Game two, you know, after Freddie Freeman
172
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.319
hit that legendary Grand Slam.
173
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.279
Crazy, you know, in Game one.
174
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.480
There still it was still in the stadium. Everybody was
175
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.720
ready to explode and so and I think I was
176
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.160
a pleasant surprise too. So it just was like, dang,
177
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.399
we had the World Series versus the Yankees. We had
178
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.519
a Grand Slam to win Game one, and we get
179
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.320
an ice Cube concert, you know, and everybody is singing,
180
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.240
every all ages. Everybody's parents are singing, their kids are
181
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:51.600
singing along. Everybody's rapping along to every single word over
182
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.720
because yo, like this in the enemy while they're standing there,
183
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.240
some ship, Yeah I'm looking, and they dug out a
184
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.320
few times, you know, so.
185
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.320
That's some GS ship. That's some West Coast ship right there.
186
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.559
Hey, you know, we know how to we know how
187
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.480
to set trip on anybody here.

Man crazy too, because that like it's like a like
189
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.639
a w W entrance, like centerfield gates open up and
190
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.120
you walk in and everyone's like, I hear his voice,
191
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.360
but I need to see him, Like.
192

It was I mean that day. I mean it was
225
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.600
the sun was beaming, you know what I mean.
226
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.960
It hits you a little different way off that you
227
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.120
come out the bow down, and then you know, you
228
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.559
yell like we're doing this for Fernando, like they one
229
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.039
like man, like let's go la and Fernando Man. I
230
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.480
remember Fernando Mania, you know, I remember how it just
231
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.440
swept the city and and we was all rooting for
232
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.360
him because of you know where you come from, Like
233
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:30.399
you know, we felt like, yo, somebody that was straight,
234
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.440
you know, from the bottom to the top, you know
235
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.360
what I mean. And Uh and was was blowing him away,
236
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.879
you know, like they could not hit they could not
237
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.000
hit Fernando for nothing. So it was it was great
238
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.399
to be able to honor him and Uh and win
239
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.600
the World Series verse the Yankees man insane, right, I
240
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.240
couldn't write a better script for real, Hey.
241
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.799
On Man Down one of my favorite songs of so Sensitive,
242
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.639
at least the ones that I've heard, because I feel
243
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.039
like that song needed to be you know, sung and
244
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.039
be out there in the world because everybody is so
245
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.440
sensitive on the internet. But there's a line that says,
246
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.440
don't be a pussy all your life. Sometimes you got
247
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.879
to be a dick. You gotta be a dig sometime
248
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.600
and get hard.
249
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:22.240
Yeah yeah, yeah.
250
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.600
Yeah, you know I'm with that all day.
251
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.919
Yeah, yeah, So it was important to make that Why
252
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.120
was it important to make that song?
253
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:24.799
Right now?
254
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.559
Do you feel that the world is headed in a
255
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.159
place that we can't do anything like where comedians are
256
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.279
getting checked, where rappers are getting checked, where it's just
257
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.399
become too sensitive exactly.
258
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.000
You know, that's you know, nail on the head. We
259
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.919
can't we can't worry about people feelings over the facts.
260
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.799
You know, it's facts over feelings all day. And you
261
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:50.480
know when people start to you know, get too sensitive
262
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.200
over things that you know maybe they should brush off
263
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.480
or keep it moving, then everybody start to censor their
264
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.159
self and you know, not beat themselves and you know,
265
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:07.039
try to be so politically correct, and and now everything sucked.
266
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.799
You know what I'm saying.
267
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.240
So you know that's that's another thing where I think,
268
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.039
you know, people need to especially the men. You know,
269
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.519
you gotta you gotta hard en up, man, you gotta
270
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.000
you know what I mean, toughen up.
271
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.480
Damn.
272
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.159
Just toughen up, man, don't you know? Don't worry about
273
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.559
everything is gonna go your way.
274
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:22.759
Man.
275
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.960
You ain't got to always complain about it. You know
276
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.960
what I'm saying, you do, man, you know, get this
277
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.639
man a tissue, man, like you know, keep a tissue. Man,
278
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:38.120
Go cry in the car, you know, keep it in
279
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.799
the car, man.
280
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.080
You know what I'm saying. When you get out, man,
281
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.200
look hard. Keep it in the shower too. Yeah, that
282
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:46.720
is sad.
283
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.559
If you cry and you already getting wet, that's it,
284
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.360

285
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.679
Crying in the rain.
286
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.519
Yo.
287
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.679
You mentioned like you know you're being tough in all this,
288
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.679
but and with the song, what are you sensitive about?
289
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.240
Though? I feel like I'm sensitive about sensitive people. You know.
290
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.200
It's like I get on my nerves.
291
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:13.200
That irritates me somebody a little too, you know, like man,

tough enough, man, I don't want to hear it, like

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.360
I'm like, man, shut it up. You know what I'm say,
294
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.480
I don't want to hear complaining and crying, and you know,
295
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:25.720

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.960
You know, they used to put the refrigerators on the
319
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.120
curb and people would come pick them up when they old,
320
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.919

321
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.799
you know, one of them, they stay on the block forever.
322
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.679
It's like, damn, when they gonna pick this thing up.
323
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.720

got snoop E forty h two short, corrupt, be real
363
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.960
like I said, exhibit You know, we all been down
364
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.720
for so long, and some of us done records before together,
365
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.839
some of us haven't. And it's only right especially you know,
366
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.279
I wanted to lean into the West Coast on this record,
367
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.759
lean into our flavor how we do music, not always
368
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.000
chasing this sound or that sound. But you know, people
369
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.960
love you know that the West Coast grooves, you know
370
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.920
what I mean, those melodies, you know what I mean
371
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.160
that you know funk, that funk, that g funk, you
372
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.240
know what I mean. That's that's our style, you know,
373
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:31.440
especially in the you know, Southern California. So lean into it,
374
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.640
you know, do what we do best. Yeah, it's classic
375
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.240
always reaching, it's classic Q. But's who you are, It's
376
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.599
what we get you feel me. I mean, this record
377
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.880
is really for the Day one fan.
378
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.279
That's it.
379
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:44.559
You know. If you if you're a Day one fan,
380
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.799
you're gonna love it. Everybody else got to get in
381
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.279
where they fit in too easy. Is there a song
382
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.960
on there that we haven't heard that you can't wait
383
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.559
for the world.
384
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:51.839
They hear.
385
00:18:54.920 --> 00:19:04.640
The ghetto story she sanctified, especially you. I think it's
386
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.519
a lot of good songs on there, and I can
387
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.160
name them all.
388
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.240
Why she sanctified.
389
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.039
I mean, it's a classic. You know, when you hear
390
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.640
the music, you'll know you know exactly uh where we
391
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.720
got it from. We got Snoop on there Eve forty
392
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:26.279
two short and October London, so it's it's a smash.
393
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.480
Yeah, shoot it to me, dog, let me hear it now.
394
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.640
They played got to it? What's up? Jack?
395
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.400
You know on the on the notes it says that
396
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.240
your wife is your best friend. How important is it
397
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.720
for you to just really be like a man and
398
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.720
hone in on really being dedicating to your partner and
399
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.119
being that that person for them.
400
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.480
It's everything. It's the most important part of my life
401
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:03.799
because we've built you know, beautiful family together, great kids.
402
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:10.680
Uh we now we got grandkids, so it's you know,
403
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:16.039
that's that's every parent dream is to raise good children.
404
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.759
And like we've done it together as partners. You know,
405
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.279
she's done a lot of the heavy lifting because sometimes
406
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.000
I wasn't there, and so I appreciate her for just
407
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.839
being the type of person that she is. And you know,
408
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.720
she could care less about Hollywood and the music business
409
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.640
and you know all this. You know, she's just happy
410
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.759
being herself and not you know, really looking to be
411
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.480
in the spotlight or or or any of that. So
412
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:54.079
you know, I respect her for that because you know,
413
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.359
you can easily, you know, get caught up in the
414
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.119
cameras and the lights and the action and want your credit.
415
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.079
So since I know she won't take her own credit,
416
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.519
you know, I like to give her, you know, her
417
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.279
props that's right for being the kind of words is
418
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.200
see Jack, there good in this world?
419
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.640
There are the.
420
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.480
Other day the other day she can find one nice
421
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.119
thing to say about it.
422
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.880
I did, how much do your grandkids get away with
423
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:25.599
more than your kids did?
424
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.119
Uh?
425
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.319
I mean not much? You know they you gotta teach
426
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.160
them right from wrong, no matter you know, if they're
427
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.200
yours or not. You know what I'm saying, Like, you
428
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.440
gotta show them, you know, what they can do, what
429
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.400
they can't do, and as long as they do what
430
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.720
they supposed to do, they don't have no problems out
431
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:43.920
of me.
432
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.240
That's right, that's right. But you are no. I gotta
433
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:48.920
you know, you gotta correct.
434
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.000
You gotta correct your children to make sure you know
435
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.960
they know right from wrong, what's acceptable, what's not acceptable,
436
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:03.960
and that you are serious about them, you know, doing
437
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.079
what they're supposed to do. And then you can love
438
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.880
them to death after spoil them. Yeah, you know, as
439
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.759
much as they need to be true, very true, all
440
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.839
the moderation, right, Yeah, you know, if they want something,
441
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.119
get it for them, you have to discipline them. I
442
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:22.359
give my parents this. I don't get my dad permission.
443
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.599
I get my mom permission to discipline my kid. I
444
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.799
mean disciplining well way. I don't know if you got
445
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.640
to tell them don't do that, or I want to
446
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:33.559
do that. If you in my house, then we got rolled. Yeah,
447
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.319
I run you in here. You gotta you know, buy
448
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.759
by the rules of my house. And so that's just it.
449
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.559
That's why it should be.
450
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.599
I'm not going to ask permission for that than Cube.
451
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:47.160
I know you're a legendary Raiders fan.
452
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.319
Should the Raiders tank to try to maybe get Shador
453
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.039
or to get somebody maybe Lord Dion to be the coach.
454
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.720
Of the Raider. I don't believe in tank.
455
00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:59.680
And even if you want to get a player, you know,
456
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.680
try to win every game, like that's what the fans
457
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.000
pay for, uh, and then you know, let the chips
458
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.880
for what they make when it comes to draft. You know,
459
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:16.400
tanking is very dangerous it you know it could you
460
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:21.720
know erode the league. If you know fans, you know,
461
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.640
like what if a team like I remember the seventy
462
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.960
six ers. I think they tank like three or four
463
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.400
years in a row. And I don't know if they've
464
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.000
recoup from that as far as fan base, as far
465
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.240
as what have they gotten out of that? But more misery,
466
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.559
And it's sometimes it's how you do things. So they
467
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.839
end up losing and getting them That's cool. But I
468
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:50.720
ain't with the tanking. Let's get it right, win right,
469
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:54.480
play the win every time. I'm not paying or you know,
470
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.839
spending three hours to watch you lose on purpose. Man,
471
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:03.359
I could do something, yo, I could be making the
472
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.440
EP dog doing anything other than that. If I know
473
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.119
you're gonna lose, I'm not watching them out exactly, not
474
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:09.640
even watch.
475
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:14.119
What's the future for the Big Three? Go?
476
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.519
You know season eight? I mean we're selling more teams
477
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:26.000
and you know, just grow the league organically, get new talent,
478
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.279
you know what I'm saying. Hopefully, get new sponsors. We're
479
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.480
looking for a second platform to play the games that's
480
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.079
not on CBS. So you know we got we go,
481
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:42.119
you know, big things, Yeah, the Big Three. I think
482
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.519
I think Netflix could stream the games. Man, Yeah, they can.
483
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.160
You know, all of the take is a check.
484
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.119
Yeah.
485
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.119
Yeah.
486
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.240
How authentic are you when it comes to doing those
487
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.759
deals with these big corporations?
488
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.559
How authentic are you?
489
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.160
Like what straight up?
490
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.200
Like you just I need boom boom or with the delegator.
491
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.559
For us process you got to play ball a little bit.
492
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.799
Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a formula that they're
493
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.039
looking for. It they're looking at for you to check
494
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.279
boxes that they need check. And if you check all
495
00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.720
the boxes, you know they should do the deal. If
496
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.279
you don't check as many boxes, then they're probably not
497
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.920
going to do the deal. And so you know, we're
498
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:33.680
going very confident. You know, our ratings are better than MLS,
499
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.200
n HL. The w n B A caught us this
500
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:43.680
year because of Caitlin Clark, but you know, so our
501
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.960
ratings are up there with with some major sports that's
502
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.880
been around for you know a long time.
503
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:51.440
Yeah.
504
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:58.160
So we you know, we deserve, you know, a great
505
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.720
platform to display again games like we are on CBS.
506
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.160
Man, I'm still campaigning for that big three box. Remember
507
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.000
I was telling you about like just the snacks like that.
508
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:14.000
Yeah, I mean we're talking to you know a few
509
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.519
different companies, And I just had this Munchie meal with
510
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.519
Jack in the box.
511
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:20.400
You know that was great.
512
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:24.920
Yeah, yeah, it was great, and you know it was
513
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.079
really successful for them, and so we're talking to them
514
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:31.839
about doing something with the Big Three. Hopefully they'll you know,
515
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.079
jump on it. Yeah yeah, Jack and the crack all day.
516
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:39.799
Oh man, you feel me, yes, sir Yo. As a
517
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.480
legendary Laker fan and as a father, what do you
518
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.079
make of lebron and Brownie.
519
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.240
Bronnie.
520
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.000
You know, it's time for him to go to work.
521
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.200
You know.
522
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:53.759
Lebron as a father, has done it's about as much
523
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.279
as he can do. Got him to the league. Now
524
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.240
it's really up to BRONI to put in that work
525
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:06.519
and and keep yourself there. Yeah, you know it's gonna
526
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:07.799
take a lot, but he's got to get to it.
527
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.119
Yeah.
528
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.559
At a certain point, you know, daddy can't do no
529
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.359
more for you. You gotta do it yourself. You got a
530
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:20.279
man up, yeah, or just you know, prove you belong
531
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.599
that's it. Yeah, prove it to yourself. Right at the
532
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.559
end of the day, if you really want to be there,
533
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.279
yeah sure, yeah, you really want to be the tough
534
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.240
space to be in, you know, there's a lot of pressure,
535
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.079
but he's got the right people behind him. Only pressure
536
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:35.759
is to put the ball in the hall. If you
537
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.160
do that, everything take care of itself. That's the only
538
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.720
pressure that he should worry about, is putting that ball
539
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.720
in the basket. Everything can take care of hisself. You know,
540
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.079
at the end of the day, he don't have to
541
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.200
play basketball. You know, he's cashed out. You know, daddy
542
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.400
is lebron So you know, I don't if it don't
543
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:01.200
work out for He'll be all right, you know.
544
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:09.319
Yeah. No, does Brownie have a space in the Big Three?
545
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.359
Yeah, of course. You know, he can always come out
546
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.720
and try to make a team. You know, we can't
547
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.960
give him a space, but he can earn it, get
548
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:20.519
drafted and earn the space.
549
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.640
Yeah. I mean you're ready to have Kaitlyn Clark in
550
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.079
the league? Yeah, we were. You know, you were fully
551
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:28.559
prepared for that. Yeah.
552
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.720
We think she would have did well because you know,
553
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.640
in our league, if you look at the style of play, yes,
554
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:40.119
it's it's pretty rough, but the small guards have had
555
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:45.279
success like mood Ab due Raouf, Nate Robinson. You know,
556
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.160
these are smaller guards and they've been able to get
557
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.000
loose so she's a you know, guard that could shoot
558
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.880
and pass. So we felt like she could really have
559
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.759
a chance to get loose. Now, if she was a
560
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:01.400
bigger player that had to plan the pain and kind
561
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.279
of bang, then we'll be like, I don't know, it's
562
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.599
probably not a good idea, right right, but we think
563
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:12.480
she had a legitimate shot to not only play but flourish,
564
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:14.440
especially with her range.
565
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.559
Yeah, for sure, not that would have been mad.
566
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.519
The coed league would open up a lot of more
567
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.880
doors and check a lot of more boxes.
568
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:22.480
With a milestone.
569
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.559
Yeah, I mean, you know, the right player get drafted
570
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:31.200
one day, you know, and we'll have a coed league.
571
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.200
I said, God's draft female players.
572
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:37.519
You've always been a risk taker when it comes to music, obviously,
573
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.039
like no Vassiline being probably the best this song ever
574
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:44.440
and then probably for sure for sure for sure sorry
575
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.440
about the miss working, But another song that always sticks
576
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.279
out to me that I wish people would do because
577
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.799
you know everything cyclical and hip hop, right like, was
578
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.119
Jack and for Beats at that time when you did
579
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:58.000
that and you literally took every fucking best beat from
580
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:00.200
East Coast and the West Coast and then said I'm
581
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.559
gonna do this shit my way.
582
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.599
Why don't people do things like that anymore? In hip hop?
583
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:10.759
It? Uh, you know, there's one hundred percent of publishing
584
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:16.440
on a song. That song has so many different beats,
585
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.880
and those beats sampled beats. I think we had like
586
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.279
seven and fifty percent of publishing on that song because
587
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.319
it was like, yeah it was it was more writers
588
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.079
than the song could could hold. You see what I'm saying.
589
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.160
So that's why those are not done. Because when you
590
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:42.799
take somebody beat and na've sampled from somebody, now you
591
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.759
have to pay not only the rapper who beat it was,
592
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.960
but you also have to pay the sample you know
593
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.359
who he sampled from. So you're you're double paying for
594
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.000
one song. And then if that if that guy sampled
595
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.559
two or three songs to make his beat, that makes
596
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:06.599
it lit longer at started, it starts to get mind boggling,
597
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.440
you know what I'm saying. So you know, my guy
598
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.200
came to me, I mean, Brian Turner, it was like,
599
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:18.960
don't don't ever do another one of these, you know,
600
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.039
just like for my last trick. You know, you know
601
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:25.480
what I'm saying, don't ever do this again. This was
602
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:30.839
a headache in a nightmare Thank god you for hip hop,
603
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:35.400
set a tone and set the bar exactly to this day. Yeah,
604
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:39.519
you know, it was just business wise, it was a nightmare. No, man,
605
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:44.279
you're a Redvine guy. Yeah, Twizzlers exactly.
606
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.279
Thank you.
607
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.960
Broakes like class ever, though you might as well eat
608
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.599

609
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.880
Need a plastic toy and enjoy that.
610
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.759
Yeah, man, Redvines is the way to go. That's right,
611
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.799

615
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.279

633
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.559
Yeah, that's for you. I thought it was decorated. I'm like,
634
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.680
so it's sweet bread. It's just it's bread. It's but
635
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.680
it's like Mexican, Mexican.
636
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.319
It all tastes the same. It's just different colors.
637
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.599
I'd like to get your honest reaction for the culture.
638
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.279
Cube is trying for the very first time. Ice Gun.
639
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.480
Well, see, Cube is a realist. He's like, all right,
640
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.240
this is hard not to suck.
641
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:44.519
This is good pstream, bright frosting on the top. That's
642
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.720
pretty much it.
643
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.759
Yoh man.
644
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.240
We appreciate you Cube always. Man, thank you for your time.

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.200
Let me go man down. Is the album Cruise Show
