3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:15.080
new home for hip Hop the Greatest
Hits Hulu original right now on Hulu.

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.199
Austin Crude, one of the stars
of the show, is here with us.

5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.559
Let's get it. Thank you for
having me, Thank you for being

6
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.800
here. Crew. Where's that from? What? What? What does that

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.839
originate from? Rot? I'm pretty
sure that's French. Yeah, I'm like

8
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.879
west right, no exactly. So
somebody asks it's just crude, but I

9
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.399
feel like it's like clute or something
like that, you know what I mean.

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.280
Yeah, yeah, I feel like
it's like on some that's the booze

11
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.119
way to say it. But my
brother did a twenty three and me and

12
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.439
I think we're from like West Africa
somewhere, and maybe see, I don't

13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.200
know, I'm gonna have to do
my own twenty three and me, I

14
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.039
know they're selling our information and selling
stuff, so I don't know, I'm

15
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.079
gonna have to get on the front, on the front. Guess if you

16
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.479
had a guess, like maybe I
don't know, maybe like can you maybe

17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.759
maybe not, just you know,
during those chests, and you know,

18
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.679
if it's French, you gotta be
like either Senegal or Rygeria also has that

19
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.599
French influence too, right, because
I think Nigeria is a French name,

20
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:11.480
like they named it, is it
really? Yeah, we're on products of

21
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.760
public school here though, you know
what, a few us fell through the

22
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.840
cracks. But those tests tell the
truth right and very surprising stuff. Gurtia,

23
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.680
What did you find out? I
have a black cousin in Africa named

24
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.400
Willie? Oh wow, did you
go and visit? Not yet, Okay,

25
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:30.879
it's time. He's like a six
cousin, So I don't know.

26
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.920
Oh, you gotta document that.
You gotta make like a whole little TikTok

27
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:41.040
documentary about that is funny right there? For real. I watched that,

28
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.920
you know the greatest. His congratulations
looks great man, thank you the show.

29
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.599
I'm having fun. It was just
yeah, yeah, yeah, like

30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.000
it was. It was great film
in the movie it's on Hulu and Disney

31
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.640
plus. Now. I had a
real good time because I'm a musician myself,

32
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.519
so you know, I'm playing a
DJ and I now I'm not DJ,

33
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.920
so I had to get right with
the tools and all the technologies right

34
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.759
right exactly. And my character Morris
was based on Larry Levin, who was

35
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.039
a Studio fifty four DJ, and
so I did like some research on that

36
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.919
and was like, okay, you
know they had the back then they had

37
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.439
like the one ear. They still
got him sometimes the one ear headphone.

38
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.000
And I was like, Okay,
you know what, this is actually kind

39
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.039
of dope because you can really just
like hear what's going on. But I

40
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.360
feel like you're a DJ on set
to help you. There's mannerisms and stuff

41
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.400
like that. There was a tech
specialist, so like helping helping us with

42
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:43.800
like tech analog speakers, knobs,
turntables. Daniel Daniel was his name,

43
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.680
Daniel person dude, Daniel. Yeah, manah. You know I call it

44
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.280
the show right because it has these
moments where like it can totally be broken

45
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.280
up as a show, right the
movie. Oh, there's there's these certain

46
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.240
moments that that just live in the
movie and really resonate with a lot of

47
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.120
people. I'm sure, right and
makes sense. You saw the show and

48
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.439
it really did something movie. Yeah, I love it, man. I

49
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.000
just love the way that collect records
and all that. But it's just you

50
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.360
know, music is about moments in
time, and music is about moods and

51
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.680
all those different things in the way
that that's portrayed in this movie was done

52
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.360
so well because it does. Every
song will take you back to a break

53
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.960
up. Every song will take you
back to the best day of life or

54
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.240
whatever. And man, you guys
really portray that in the movie. And

55
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.319
I love what a great bff you
were to thank you in real life,

56
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.800
talkers, that's just acting. You
know. I am a good friend.

57
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.520
I'm not gonna lie. You always
count on me. I'm always be there.

58
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.759
I'm gonna tell you the truth.
You know what I mean? Some

59
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.240
people, you know, thank you, thank you? No. And I

60
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.479
was gonna ask you, like the
similarities between your like actual self and Morris,

61
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.680
Like, what were those similarities?
You know? Well, me and

62
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.120
Morris are both musicians into music,
I think. I mean, I'm I'm

63
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.159
an engineer, I'm a producer,
but like I'm mainly an artist, whereas

64
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.400
he is more on the engineering side, right producing side. You know,

65
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.919
he loves the club. I love
the club. He is a confidante to

66
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.520
his friends. I'm a confidant to
my friend. Are you good at keeping

67
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.719
secrets? Oh? I'm going to
keep it. I used to not be

68
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.280
not all right. I used to
not be ahead to grow in that area.

69
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.720
But you know, then you get
in the industry a little bit,

70
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.720
and you know, you start to
learn you gotta be careful exactly. So

71
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.560
my boundaries went up in that.
But yeah, I think I'm real good

72
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.319
atkeeping secrets and I'm real good at
giving giving just a spiritual advice. You

73
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.000
know, I'm a pastor's kids.
I came from the church, and I

74
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.000
feel like, you know, when
it comes to the Bible, when it

75
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.959
comes to just how to how to
level yourself out, I feel like I'm

76
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.480
good with that. Yeah, I'm
good with that. You know that.

77
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.360
At one point I was on YouTube
and I went down a rabbit hole with

78
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.680
pastors and their delivery. I love
the delivery that pastors have. Do you

79
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.879
can you turn on that delivery?
Oh? Yes, what does it sound

80
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.920
like? It's Father God? You
know when you when when they when they

81
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.160
right now? Right? Take your
time? Oh y'all ain't hearing me?

82
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.120
Whenever whenever they don't say something in
Black church, whenever they not what because

83
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.319
I feel like in white church it's
like, okay, they respectful, they

84
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.639
watch it. But it's like you
almost gotta interrupt with take your time all

85
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.639
right, and it's like, oh, y'all, hear just to you know,

86
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.560
but God and when you and he'll
take you right up. I know

87
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.439
you got to get to the game. I know you got to get to

88
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.360
the game. But y'all, but
y'all, this is the game right now.

89
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.279
You know what perform right exactly,
it's a performance out there and they

90
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.759
speaking to the people in the bath
to the back of the back. Absolutely.

91
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.439
Like my dad, he used to
say that, like basically the Bible,

92
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.360
like he would take he it's modern
day church, so you know iPad,

93
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.279
he would take his eypied out,
but he would make sure that he

94
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.800
has a Bible because it's like the
old school. They like that just for

95
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.560
the aesthetics. Got to have the
real Bible out so they get bound the

96
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.319
right leather bounds, the leather bounds, the little gold lining on the pages.

97
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.680
But then you know he's reading from
the iPad. But I don't know,

98
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.000
they like it better. Yeah,
they have to see it right,

99
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.360
and he's giving the people what they
want and what they need. Yeah,

100
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.680
absolutely, Yeah. You do your
own nails or you pay like nine hundred

101
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:01.800
dollars to get those done. You
know, I'm paying, like honestly,

102
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:09.720
it's like, shout out to Kiku. She's from Japan. Noah Galvin,

103
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.079
who last time I was here,
I was here for book Smart. He

104
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.160
was in Books Smart and we were
at Billy Lawd's house celebrating her birthday and

105
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.360
I saw his nails. I was
like, who did your nails? And

106
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:24.000
Noah got me that's right. Yeah
they look great, man game Now like

107
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.000
that's crazy, thank you. I
feel like the boys aren't really doing like

108
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.120
nails like that. And when they
do, they step they keeping it like

109
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.560
they keeping it simple. I'm trying
to look like the future like this this

110
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.000
the sharp shape. I was like, I want to look like a panther,

111
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.199
Like I want to feel like a
panther, and so she gave me

112
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.680
this shape. Yeah, I picked
the colors. Look going crazy? You

113
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.279
trying to be on that rock star
stuff. Hey, try that nail.

114
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.759
They're gonna make fun of you until
they do it. That's the thing.

115
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.399
That's the thing, the real quick
look a look at that metallic yo blind

116
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:59.120
hurts your eye? Hurts your eye? Okay, now yeah, going back

117
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.720
to just you know, being a
DJ being in a church. And you

118
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.360
know, what's the greatest thing about
being a DJ in the movie? You

119
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:11.480
know, honestly get into film so
many party scenes and stuff like that.

120
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.759
Like I think a lot of the
time when in a heavy movie like that,

121
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.560
you you know, are always you
know, in this dramatic moment and

122
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.480
stuff. But I got to have
fun. And you know, it's funny

123
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.480
because it's like you you really do
have a party while you're filming. Like

124
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.199
it's like it's not like they just
got the music off and everything like that.

125
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.759
So yeah, it was it was
I think that that was like the

126
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.879
best part of it for me.
Person. What's the toughest part about filming

127
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.480
a movie like this? Is it? Yeah, I hear there's a lot

128
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.560
of waiting, yes, in between
scenes, so in the ass, right,

129
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.240
But like, what, what's the
toughest part Is it focusing on something

130
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.800
emotional? Is it having a bad
day and having to completely leave that at

131
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.319
the door and do your job?
Yeah, I mean for a movie like

132
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.439
this. And there was another movie
that I was in also on uh oh,

133
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.279
it might not be on It might
be on Peacock They slash them.

134
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.360
It's like when you are in an
emotional space and you're trying to create space

135
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:16.240
for the other actor to have that
time. It's like you have to get

136
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.920
on their level of heaviness and connection
with what's going on. And I think

137
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.399
that that can be a little difficult
with uh, you know, street noise

138
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.040
and things like that, and you
know, it's I don't want to be

139
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.000
that type of person that just stays
in the moment a method and you know,

140
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.159
so I try to you know,
come out of it between takes and

141
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.639
you know, talk to people and
stuff like that. But I think I've

142
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.039
gained a little bit of a mastery
of getting back into it. Yeah,

143
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.840
have you ever encountered that where you
have to speak to an actor but you

144
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.840
you're not on camera, and you
still have to speak to him as if

145
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.440
he's his character, she's her character. I have I have? Is that

146
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.320
rough? I was? It's not
too rough because honestly, so I was

147
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.320
in this movie with Bacon. They
slash them and Kevin is a consummate professional,

148
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.000
and yeah, for real, honestly, it's not playing with Kevin Bacon,

149
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.360
and you know, like he was
playing this dude. So basically it

150
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.320
was about like a gay conversion camp. But people are like getting killed at

151
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.200
this gay conversion camp and like kid
after kid, and it's like, all

152
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.120
right, well, who's next is
it? Is it the counselor's killing it?

153
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.519
Is it the students killing him?
And he has to be this kind

154
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.279
of like weird cult leader esque type
person, so he didn't. I think

155
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:37.279
he intentionally kept a distance between us
and him, but then it was like

156
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.639
on the side, he was like
say like little things like talk about his

157
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.279
Marvel experience, because I'm trying to
be a Marvel. That's like my dreams

158
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:46.639
to be a Marvel. So like
I asked him about some Marvel stuff.

159
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.360
He's like so nice and even I
mean after I was on this other show

160
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.639
called Your Mother with his wife Kia
Sedgwick, so yes, yes, thank

161
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.879
you. So like we spent some
time at his house and like we talked

162
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.320
for like hours and he's just the
nicest dude. But it's like I could

163
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.679
tell him at his house versus him
in that role. So it's like you

164
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.200
can really see when people are like
in the moment, and how refreshing is

165
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.600
that when you stumble upon like actors
or even just anybody in the industry that

166
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:24.799
like is willing to share that information
because we know how it is wisdom,

167
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.559
you know, it's great. I
love it. I think the first person

168
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.600
that I ever worked with in general
was Donald Glover because that was on Atlanta

169
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.759
and I was black Justin Bieber on
Hilarious, Oh my gosh, thank you,

170
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.080
and that was my first ever TV
show. That was my first ever

171
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.600
anything going on set like that was
my first ever anything job. Thank you,

172
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.840
Thank you so much. But I
never really got a chance because I

173
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.799
was a guest star and I was
like really young at that time. I

174
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.080
was like nineteen or twenty, Like
I never really got a chance to really

175
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.600
sit down with him. But I
did sit with Brian Tyree Henry like in

176
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.960
those other rooms, and you know, they will every single person that I've

177
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.440
worked with that's on like da caliber, And I'm blessed to be like a

178
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.559
part of incredible movies with incredible people. Olivia Wilde, all of them.

179
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.559
They will literally just give me the
keys. Mark, Yeah, they trust,

180
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.639
they trust, they trust me.
Like Mark tond Ray, He's an

181
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.279
African director who worked on Daybreak and
he literally we was just standing there and

182
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.639
he was like, you know,
you can get direct to if if you

183
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.120
want to. It's really just simple
you just line up the shots and you

184
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.120
come here. You just do it
all today and you know what, right,

185
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.480
he playing it down. But you
know then that opened me up,

186
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.960
like dang, I could be a
director. So yeah, just a thought.

187
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:43.879
He inserted that thought. The thought
the scene in itself is enabling you

188
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.440
to do even more things real.
Yeah, what do you want to do

189
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.879
for Marvel? Do you have like
an idea? Literally? My dream is

190
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.559
to be like a pet Crawler or
somebody. I want to be like Nightcrawler.

191
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.159
Paint me blue, put contacts in
my eyes. I want to be

192
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.519
like a I like when I was
a kid. I always love Spider Man

193
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.240
and Nightcrawler and inflexible, like people
who put their legs over their heads,

194
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.720
you know, and having powers where
it's like their attack moves. It's kind

195
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:18.159
of a dance move exactly what you
know. But I've always been into that.

196
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.799
So I'm waiting on that moment.
I know it's gonna happen. I

197
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.080
know it's gonna happen. I'm manifesting
it. Yeah. Yeah, man,

198
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.600
Your Pack is the song as well
that you have. Yes Pack my new

199
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.919
single, y'all gotta go get that. Let's go. We're gonna play it

200
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.559
in the clubs. We're getting nice, you know. My uh So,

201
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.080
I've started to really grow on TikTok. And at first, when TikTok first

202
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.840
dropped, I was like, all
right, what's TikTok? Like that was

203
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.480
the first time when I was like, all right, what is this movie?

204
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.159
We just lost mine? We just
transitioned from like you know, Twitter

205
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.320
and everything. Now yeah, I
g has videos now, but now all

206
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.039
your videos are real and all of
the algorithm stuff, and you know,

207
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.960
even now it's like switching algorithms.
People have all these following and then all

208
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.200
right, the lights, the comments
that isn't and that people telling me I

209
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.840
ain't even seen seeing you in my
feet anymore. You know what, That's

210
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.639
fine because we're gonna organically. Nothing's
bought, Okay, nothing is. We're

211
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.639
gonna organically grow. I'm gonna start
performing out here in these LA streets because

212
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.600
I'm from Atlanta, so you know, uh yeah, pack Pack is coming

213
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.840
out and the video on the way
that's right. What made this the single

214
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.600
for you? Well? I produced
it in my uh in my like home

215
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.720
studio set up, and uh oh
that's just how I was feeling. You

216
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.120
know, I've been singing a long
time and my go then my cover was

217
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.159
it went like viral and went crazy, and then Jake come in and Jake

218
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.799
reposted it, and then I did
ceilings and then Lizzie McAlpine noticed it and

219
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.120
I'm like, okay, cool.
So now that y'all don't got the vocals,

220
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.559
it's time to just get the bars
off, It's time to get a

221
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.600
vibe off. I want to be
in the club. I want to,

222
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.679
you know, because I love the
club. I love to be in the

223
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.840
party. I love shines, I
love you know, I love those that

224
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.519
vibe. So I was like,
you know what, let me just switch

225
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.799
it up from doing singing all the
time and showing off vocal vocals to you

226
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.960
know, having a pack. Is
there anyone you would want to party with?

227
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.519
Oh wow, any celebrity you want
to just go crazy with? Yeah,

228
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.559
okay, I feel like it's crazy. I feel like it's gonna be

229
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.360
like all right, all right,
chilling. I ain't even that. I

230
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.600
feel like they're gonna have me,
like my eye is gonna be real.

231
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.519
There's a line in the song where
I'm like, came in here Clinton,

232
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.440
it came a little gieky, like
I'm gonna be real geek if I if

233
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.279

234
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.960
to church hungover? Yes, I
have, I have. I mean even

235
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.240
like, Okay, now, all
right, y'all for everybody in the industry,

236
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.440
we'll can chill oud. Okay,
I am a professional. Y'all can

237
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.360
ask about me around here in these
streets. That being said, you know,

238
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.360
I've even done a little bit of
work on some movies and TV shows,

239
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.320
high and stuff. You know,
sometimes you just you just gotta be

240
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.200
in your zone, in your space
whatever, you know, right, whatever

241
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.279
it takes, you know. But
you know, I was in that era.

242
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.519
Now I'm in my sober era.
Actually, I'm in my keifer.

243
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.360
I think they call it probiotic.
I'm doing goat milk, I'm doing spinach

244
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.000
smoothies and stuff like that. I'm
not playing because so I'm young, and

245
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.159
I feel like I'm a little spoiled
by my I mean, my boy hasn't

246
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.279
really fluctuated, and all of my
family is pretty fit. But my dad's

247
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.120
side, my dad's side, God
bless them. Don't y'all don't get mad

248
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:35.240
at me that that's not got the
beaty beaty. Sure they got the beaty

249
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.320
beaties. So I'm like, Okay, I am not gonna end up like

250
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.320
this. Yes, I'm just like
if I get my if I get it

251
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.279
now in my twenties, I'm gonna
be good if I get these habits down

252
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.279
because I don't really need it now, but when I do need it,

253
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.039
then I'm gonna know. You know
what, that sugar was not for me,

254
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:56.039
the the you know, getting getting
my palate good. So where it's

255
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.200
like I would used to eat cucumbers
and like what is this? God couldn't

256
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.600
have put some season in this?
But now it's like I like cucumbers,

257
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.120
I like zucchini. I like these
things. All my seasoning PACs because I

258
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.279
like myself a little seasoning pact.
Right, salt free, add the salt

259
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.679
yourself, Himalayan pink salt, A
good stuff. Add the salt yourself,

260
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.200
right, That's what I'm talking about. Dobo, I got salt free,

261
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.279
Adobo, I got salt free.
Uh, Tony's I got salt free,

262
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.639
Magic Chef. And I'll add the
salt after, because it's like, all

263
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.600
right, salt and sugar them the
two. That's the hot and the cold.

264
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.840
That's the beaties, that's the blood
pressure. Man. So it's like,

265
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.759
you know, I'm really just trying
to get right with that and on

266
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.559
the peloton every morning, dance class
every night. So yeah, man,

267
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.360
yea, are you keeping up with
all these rap beefs Chris Brown and Quavo,

268
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.440
Drake versus everyone including my mom?
Really? They talking about They talking

269
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.440
about Metro Boom and Nick Fury and
Drake and Thanos and I don't know what

270
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.360
happened to make it's like that the
boon dust What did he do to make

271
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.559
you so mad? You know?
What? What did he do to make

272
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:06.240
him so mad? You know?
And then Yay just went on like jealle

273
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.839
boy, oh yeah and premiered the
joint yes, yes, and you're talking

274
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.759
about you know, future and them
was linking up kind of. I don't

275
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.240
know what's going on. It's love
for all of them, all love to

276
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.400
collaborate. So messy though, Like
it's it's great though, for real they

277
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.559
messy. Yeah, it's gotten messire. Yay also said he wants a threesome

278
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.920
with Michelle Obama. So I just
saw that before I even walked in here.

279
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.440
I just thought I was like,
oh lord, Michelle into it.

280
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.440
She's like, how did not get
in? And was minding her business,

281
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:41.359
right, she was minding her Bert
like and so when it comes going back

282
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.319
to the movie, I'm talking to
Garcia about this. I the very ending

283
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.279
I gave me very much an inception
type of feel where they're like, Okay,

284
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.079
are they going to end up together? Do they actually rekindle their love?

285
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.880
What do you think? Do you
think Carrie and David end up together?

286
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.759
I think this is spoiler alert.
I feel like they do. Actually

287
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.759
it's not even a spoiler because it's
open ended. I feel like they do

288
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.680
because it's like I want to believe
in life, you know what I mean,

289
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:14.759
and that you can be and I
don't know you know really about reincarnation

290
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.559
or whatever like that, but I
do think that you know, souls and

291
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.920
spirits life after life do meet up
again? Like have you ever met somebody

292
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.160
and just thought, like I feel
like I know you, I know you?

293
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.279
Oh yeah. Or maybe there's like
a cuisine that's kind of left field,

294
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.000
that's cultural to somewhere else, but
you like, I really like this

295
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.119
CUIs like this cuisine feels like almost
home to me. Or you visit a

296
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.039
place and it's like I should live
here for a time, you know.

297
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.240
I feel like we have even if
it's in your genetics, maybe it's like

298
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.599
an ancestral connection to somebody that lives
in this place or something like that.

299
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.400
I feel like that's real. So
I would like to think that they they

300
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.440
end up together again and they find
each other. Yeah, at the end

301
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.200
of filming for the Greatest Hits,
is it is it a cry fast?

302
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.440
Is everyone hugging? Is it a
celebration? Then there's a rap party,

303
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.480
right, Yeah, there's a rap
party. So we did. We it

304
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.880
was like COVID the end of COVID
when we shot it, so we couldn't

305
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.799
have an official like Disney because it's
Searchlights. So search Light is technically Disney

306
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.400
and Disney don't play, and lu
Hulu don't play. Disney don't play.

307
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:29.079
Search Light don't play. They're not
having no COVID not everybody getting tested.

308
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.079
You doing the nose and the mouth, and you're doing this, and you're

309
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.799
doing that. We have a COVID
party. Were we having a COVID party

310
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:40.319
and COVID is not invited? So
we kind of like orchestrated our own kind

311
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.960
of like a rap party outside and
it was it was lit. It was

312
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.720
really underground rap, right, a
little underground it was all Halloween, so

313
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.440
like after and it was really nice. I think after a movie like that,

314
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.079
especially, it's like you gotta have
the fun. Yeah, and it

315
00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.119
was. It was fun during as
well. But I think, you know,

316
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:04.799
especially Lucy's Lucy's Duty's to the to
the role and Justin's duties to the

317
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.119
role. It's like, okay,
now it's time to just let Yeah.

318
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.480
It's so grief heavy too that you're
just like, yeah, this is a

319
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.599
lot. Yeah, it's a lot. So you know, it was nice

320
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.640
to have them mom. We had
tacos there, catered Oh right, it

321
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.720
was cool. It was nice,
good times, right times. Hey.

322
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.559
One thing I want to say for
people that haven't seen the movie too,

323
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.279
it's such an La movie. It's
the record stores you know you're familiar with,

324
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.240
Yeah, Civil Coffee, all those
places like that, Like that's all

325
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.519
La. So if you want to, you know, see a good movie

326
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.000
and then just be transported to all
around the city. Here, such a

327
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.759
good LA movie. I love it. Oh yeah, it's a love letter

328
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.160
to La. Yeah. And being
from LA, we appreciate that with you

329
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.359
know, seeing that. Oh yeah, it even taught me because I'm from

330
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.319
Atlanta, like born and bred and
I came out here like twenty nineteen,

331
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.720
and it was even teaching me like
more about La, like where the spots

332
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:59.319
are, where to go Chinatown versus
k Town versus Jaytown, and where to

333
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.359
go Like I'm not even and like
I think, I'm like I'm about to

334
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.119
move. I think I might go
over to Jay Town. See what's going

335
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.200
on? That's right? Yeah,
but yeah, like l A, l

336
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.799
A is a vibe. There's nothing
like l A. Honestly, LA's wild,

337
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.680
right, Yeah, Atlanta, though
it's a different speed too. It

338
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.839
is Atlanta. It is every single
bar got hookah, every single bar,

339
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.400
every bar you can cvs out there. Why no, for real, it's

340
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.039

came out here and I was like,

there. The food is so crazy.

354
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.599
Yeah, that's right, that's right. Oh my god. And you know

355
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.480
what, now that we're on the
topic of food and health and stuff,

356
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.359
slutty Vegan in Atlanta because I'm not
I'm not a vegan. I'm gonna listen,

357
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.759
I'm gonna eat animal y'all. I'm
sorry, but Slutty Vegan is the

358
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.599
is like, it's Atlanta based,
black owned, and it started as a

359
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:36.480
food truck and now they got like
a real restaurant. It is a burger.

360
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.559
Their bacon is like bacon for real. I've never seen vegan bacon look

361
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.680
like bacon. And now it's so
bacony that they don't put their bacon in

362
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.279
grocery stores because it's like nobody's doing
bacon like this. It's bacon like it's

363
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.559
crazy. So yeah, but like
even like the lemon pepper wings, the

364
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:59.079
wet lemon pepper, like the wing, like that's the thing is even chains

365
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.079
right, like when yuh they hit
different in Atlanta, because in Atlanta,

366
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.400
they ain't they got it. They
already know how to play. They already

367
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:11.119
know not to play. At the
moment at yeah, I was like,

368
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.759
I'm hungry now. Yeah, like
I'm actually probably gonna get at my far

369
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:26.440
words to describe it Atlanta. Oh
my god, lick high fast saved and

370
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.720
lucratives. Wow. Yeah, Okay, Now they're out there making that bag

371
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.640
in Atlanta. Yeah, they're making
that bag. But you got to know

372
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.079
how to get it because I'm an
tell on Atlanta a little bit. You

373
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.119
know. It took me kind of
as a kid. You know, everybody

374
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.599
wanted to be a Disney Channel star. Everybody wanted to be and stuff like

375
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.680
that. And I was a songwriter
and I was hosting uh sessions, like

376
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:51.759
in my bedroom producing doing artists development
at like fifteen. Mean, while I

377
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.240
was developing artists, wow, And
I feel like there was a lot of

378
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:02.200
people through contracts my way and stuff, and they get real competitive in Atlanta.

379
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:03.559
They gonna try to get you in
Atlanta, So you gotta know what

380
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:10.079
bag, Like DJ Kellis said,
sometimes you gotta yeah to get like the

381
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.200

it wasn't until I went to New York
