It's a private 10 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.559 conversation about two people getting to know a little bit 11 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.239 each other, a little bit more intimately. And then the 12 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.800 further we go down the conversation, the more we get 13 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.239 to know the truth about. 14 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:33.880 Yes, sounds amazing. 15 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.119 Sounds amazing.

What you're doing, What have you 18 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.840 been doing during the pandemic. You know, we've had some 19 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.320 crazy times out there, Like what's all those things about? 20 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.280 Well, I'm Mickey Monday. I'm an artist from Los Angeles, California. 21 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.759 I'm a rapper, a singer, a songwriter. I'm on vh 22 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.359 ones love and hip hop during the pandemic. The pandemic 23 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.920 has been, and the pandemic has been good to me, 24 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.799 But for anybody who the pandemic has not been good 25 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.799 or for people who've lost people, you know, blessings to 26 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.799 the families and the lost ones. But during the pandemic, 27 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.120 you know, there wasn't a lot going on and weren't filming. 28 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.480 I mean, I own a studio, so I could always 29 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.680 do music, but I start doing like luxury real estate 30 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.040 in luxury like car rentals and stuff like that. So 31 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.799 I damn near had like a concierge business now where 32 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.079 I do like short term leases on houses and short 33 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.959 term leases with cars and stuff. And during the pandemic, 34 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.680 because the clubs weren't open, I was killing it with 35 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.159 the houses. So that was fun. 36 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.239 So is that only in LA? Is that something that's 37 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.319 gone kind of like worldwide? Or tell us a little 38 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.000 bit more about that, like what does that really mean? 39 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.079 Because people hear just luxury they're in either hear houses, Okay, 40 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.079 they're a little bit more entertained about it. And then 41 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.840 because like you're correct, there wasn't anything to do as 42 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.280 far as club wise, especially in LA because we had 43 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.640 one of the biggest sticklers about everything COVID related, which 44 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.599 you know, not knocking anything but give me a break, 45 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.159 you know what I mean. It's one of those things. 46 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.719 So tell us a little bit about that, you know, 47 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.159 that process and how that really works. 48 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.599 Well. At first, I have met these two young ladies. 49 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.879 I rented a house from mom. Uh. We threw a 50 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.080 Fourth of July party with some of my friends and 51 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.800 basically they started telling me, hey, you know, I got 52 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.120 these properties. If you want to get involved, you know, 53 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.199 I know you know a lot of people, uh, you know, 54 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.879 we could do some business. So I started I started 55 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.000 telling people, hey, I got these houses, started sending people 56 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.840 like we had Google drives? Who made Google drives? Or 57 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.319 all the pictures, all the houses, the square footage, all 58 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:29.719 the things. 59 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.360 Hustling. 60 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.960 Yeah, well I'm a true hustling yeah for sure. So 61 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.159 it's like, yeah, I got you got it? Yeah. But yeah. 62 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.840 So basically it's like in I always believe in life. 63 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.280 It's like if I don't certain things in life don't 64 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.520 need to be sold. If you're running the marathon and 65 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.800 I have water, you're gonna see it. 66 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.159 You got controls that you need to get it done. 67 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.759 So I was like to provide people with something they 68 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:54.680 would already need anyway. So with the houses, you know, 69 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.599 people start wanting the houses that I have, people start 70 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.960 coming into town. It's only in la only for right now. 71 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.960 But you one of the first people to do that. 72 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:02.719 Is that some other things that have been going on 73 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.039 or like how does that work? 74 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.120 It was the first person. 75 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.199 There's other things that are people their services like that 76 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:08.639 as well. 77 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.280 It's like an Airbnb, but you don't got to go 78 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.120 through Airbnb. That's what makes it so much better. 79 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.199 One thousand. But what you said is like the whole 80 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.439 preface for me is what I caught, like caught my 81 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.639 eye was like you said, is like there wasn't clubs 82 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.879 going on. People were doing parties and things like that. 83 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.680 So it's like that's a big hey, like start, you know, 84 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.639 like how can I get this done? And I'm sure 85 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.360 they're making money obviously, because we're money making individuals. So 86 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.599 it's like people are making through the you know the door, 87 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.520 you know, doing you know, selling alcohol. I'm saying as 88 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.039 fart as like for you that that service they did 89 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.400 service is like did you see that from someone else 90 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:45.680 doing it? Or you just off the top of the 91 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.319 head was like, Hey, I see this business, I'm going 92 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.639 to do this. I think that this is ABCD let's 93 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.319 you know, let's row. 94 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.240 Yeah, no, I start putting the plan together. I think 95 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.639 I've seen something that's smart though. 96 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.639 You know, I respect that for sure, definitely. 97 00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.319 Yeah. So, I mean, you know, it was it was cool, 98 00:03:59.360 --> 00:03:59.800 it was fun. 99 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.199 It was something new that was like the COVID, the 100 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.879 COVID hobby, the COVID, the COVID hobby. Yeah, and you 101 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.800 know you seem like again me first meeting you, and 102 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.879 you's seeing your energy. I'm a big energy person, so 103 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.400 I feel like you you maybe took COVID times because 104 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.439 you're such a creative. It was like, Okay, this is 105 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.160 my time to do the things that I didn't have 106 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.600 to do it before. Yeah, because we all had times 107 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.879 there's like you're doing you know, appearances, you're doing all 108 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.839 kinds of things that take your time that are like 109 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.639 great because that's what we do it for to a point, 110 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.639 but we also lose sight of our creativeness and like 111 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.680 going in the studio and even if you own your 112 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.839 own studio, sometimes it's still tough to go in there 113 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.480 because you own it, and when we own things, it's 114 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.319 sometimes harder to go. When we were spaying, you know, 115 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:42.720 paying the time for the studio. 116 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.800 Time, definitely. Well, I mean I feel like art has 117 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.160 many languages, you know what I mean. So it's like 118 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.959 a chef is an artist, a painter is an artist. 119 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.240 Obviously somebody who's I mean, you have these beautiful flowers 120 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.160 over here, somebody took the time to put that gold 121 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.079 wrapping around them. I mean that's art. I mean art. 122 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.000 That's why I say artists so many different languages. So 123 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.759 I mean it was just another creative thing I could do, like, 124 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.639 oh this is cool. I could like sell because it's 125 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.839 like my little sister does real estate. How do you doing? 126 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.000 Chili shot my little sister and she always says, why 127 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.680 don't you get your real estate license? I say, because 128 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.759 the people that I'm selling these houses too, Like I'm 129 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.079 selling people a moment in time. You're selling people like 130 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.319 a life. I'm selling people in experience, like you know, 131 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.160 if you're selling people houses, it's. 132 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:25.839 It's more of a long term investment. 133 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:26.720 It's a long term investment. 134 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.800 Want short short term things because we want short like it. 135 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.480 We're like I'm selling people are thrill. 136 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.319 The same reason of why social media works. Everything is 137 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.920 very like it's it's on our fingertips and it's very fast. 138 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.079 Everything changes really quickly. We want to see things that 139 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.439 feed is going really you know what I mean, like hey, hey, hey, 140 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.360 you know. So that's why I think it's fascinating when 141 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.240 people like that come into those things. Because even today 142 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.160 I was in a photo shoot. We're in a building 143 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.920 downtown and they have this this space that looks nothing 144 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.199 like any other space. I could probably believe that's in 145 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.959 that same building, but they're running it out. So my 146 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.680 first thing is a business woman, I'm thinking do they 147 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.399 own it? And how could they own it and still 148 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.720 release it out to these people? But those things happen 149 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.439 is because it's could become a business. 150 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.560 Oh yeah, you know what I mean. 151 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.879 And those things. That's what fascinates me is like how 152 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.800 do these things tick and how do we get that 153 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.839 to where I'm making the same money where I'm doing 154 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.639 the photo shoot and my other photo shoot over here 155 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:17.439 is making money to. 156 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.920 Where the ownership comes into play for sure. 157 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.319 So what projects do you have that you've been working 158 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.319 on right now that you have you know coming hang out? 159 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:25.720 What do you what do you been up to? 160 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.519 I've been finishing up my project. I got a project 161 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.199 coming out. It's called I Can't Make This Ship up, 162 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.720 can I cauron you? 163 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.360 Well, you can't make that shut up? 164 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:36.639 Yeah, I can't make this ship up. 165 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.360 So is that attested to your like life? 166 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:39.920 Like? 167 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.079 Why why why can't we make this shut up? 168 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.839 Yeah? I just feel like it's man, I've lived a 169 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.160 very I'm very thankful in life, you know what I mean. 170 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.040 That's one thing about me is I like I wake 171 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.920 up every day and I just feel blessed to even 172 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.319 be able to have opportunity to do what I what 173 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.920 I want to do. That's such a blessing that people 174 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.399 take for granted. So I just I'm just done a 175 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:01.879 lot of cool things in my life that I think 176 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.920 are cool, and I think people think are cool. And 177 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.800 I think if you didn't know me and know the 178 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:07.600 type of person I was, you would probably think I 179 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.160 was lying to you when I told you some of 180 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.000 this stuff. So it's just like, I can't make this 181 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:11.519 shit up. 182 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.319 I like that. I feel like I've met definitely, especially 183 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.680 being in LA where it's like you really don't believe 184 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.360 half the stories you know that you hear because some 185 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.079 of them are so outlandish or they don't think that 186 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.000 it could happen to them until it happens to them. 187 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.800 Oh yeah, Well, everything's normal in Hollywood. 188 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.040 So what is one story that you could think of 189 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.040 of why that story is that whole portrait of you 190 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.240 is true? Like, what is something that just to one 191 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.279 a tidbit of Like what would be a story that 192 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.319 someone's like, I can't make this shop that someone was like, 193 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.160 you're an absolute liar. No one's believing you. Like tell us, 194 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.560 it's a good one. We only want the truth here 195 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:49.319 at private talk. 196 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.399 Man, that's a good one. I'm trying to think of them. 197 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.360 You have to have several, I do. 198 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.399 I'm just trying to think of specific one. Oh man, 199 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.839 it's been some times to think if I want to 200 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.240 talk about ladies or if I want to talk about. 201 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.480 Let's just talk about let's let's just do a general 202 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.560 little go to the ladies a little bit later about 203 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.839 those things. So let's it's just drew in general of 204 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.600 like context of life. Like say that maybe you're telling 205 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.639 a story to a group of guys that you're out 206 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.959 with whatever, and they're like, they're basically being like, no, 207 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.800 that couldn't happen to you, or someone maybe try to 208 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.040 like whatever, and you proved it to them that it 209 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.519 really was true, or you lived it a story. 210 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.160 Yeah, it's just I mean, it's not like I'm not 211 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.279 that person that like glorifies things or whatever. But I 212 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.480 just once again, it's more like being appreciative. 213 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.519 Like I don't think it's about glorifying. It's sometimes we 214 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:35.759 storytellers hanging out. 215 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.399 No. Yeah, I mean I've been literally I've been to 216 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.840 India and stuff like that. I met with the Prime Minister, 217 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.000 the head of state. I've seen the largest solar power 218 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.159 energy field in the world. When I was working with 219 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.279 Acon shout out to Akon, you know, when I was 220 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.000 traveling with him, we was doing shows. I was on 221 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.559 a Emirates plane. I'm a kid from La on this 222 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.120 plane with this there's literally a lounge on the back 223 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.600 of the plane. You can go sit with people and 224 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.440 buckle up and eat cheese and drink wine. 225 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.559 So did you have tell that story and someone was like, 226 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:02.320 you're full of shit? 227 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.320 I don't think so, because they watched it. I was 228 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.960 filming the whole shit on Instagram. 229 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.159 Saying is, but what's something that you have to like 230 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.639 really think about and we can we can give you 231 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:11.039 some time. 232 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.120 Yeah, I don't know. I would really have to probably 233 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.360 sit here and really process like a story. 234 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.559 I mean, I just you the whole thing. If you 235 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.440 can't make that ship up, you have to have. 236 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.879 Some multiple stories. I mean literally, I've been driving down 237 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.960 to my car. I've had somebody shoot through the door. 238 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.840 Literally the bullet came through the door. I don't know 239 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.480 how it hit me. It went out the other side. 240 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.399 My best friend reminded me, didn't hit you. No, no, no, you. 241 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.480 Said it did it didn't hit you? 242 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.679 Okay, Yes, I mean stuff like that, like you would 243 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.360 think somebody like somebody, Yes, has. 244 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.480 Anybody ever called you out? Though, like even like. 245 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.080 Like oh no, not really because most of people associate 246 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.000 with are literally people I've been friends with for over 247 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.120 twenty years. So it's like. 248 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.360 Okay, so they know it's solid. It is what it is. 249 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.600 I mean, you know the things with girls. People have 250 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.360 watched me be around girls that things with just making 251 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.600 things happen in life, finding different hustles, people that have 252 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.120 physically watched these things happened. So it would be kind 253 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.320 of you know, if you're watching it happen, it's like 254 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.799 what you're telling me it didn't happen, and this happening 255 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.600 right in front of your eyes, So you're just lying 256 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.840 to yourself at that point. But it's more for like 257 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.679 other people, it's just a title. Like a lot of 258 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.279 people just you know, I'm just a rock star at heart. 259 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.720 Like it's just I've had a lot of random adventures 260 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.080 and in good times. I don't know, yeah, I just 261 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.399 that's that's. 262 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.960 The truth though. So you said you know you're a rapper, 263 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.720 and is that something that you always aspire to be 264 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.399 or how did you get into the game into becoming 265 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:33.919 a rapper. 266 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.840 Well, I wrote poetry when I was a kid, so 267 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.200 I used to win like a lot of poetry contests. 268 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.039 I always was a good creative writer. I always wanted 269 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.639 to be an actor. I acted when I was younger, 270 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.799 and then I started writing music for a TV show 271 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.600 when I was seventeen, and I got an entertainment lawyer, 272 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.279 and the entertainment lawyer started sending me to sessions and 273 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.279 I started writing music. The first person I ever worked 274 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.480 with was at the Boom Boom Room with Will Smith 275 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.120 and then so that was great. That was a he 276 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.279 was like fresh prince of bel airfans. So I was like, oh, 277 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.559 this is cool. I'm like seventeen years old and uh, 278 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.559 this guy Omar shout out with Omar He it was 279 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.600 like him. He was Will Smith's business partner. But they 280 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.320 started letting me come to the studio all the time 281 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.960 and just work on my own stuff. And right because 282 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.720 I was just like a battle rapper. I was in 283 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.919 the streets battling people and just yeah, I just like 284 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.000 to rap. At that point, I didn't really know how 285 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.039 to write songs. 286 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.639 Or like I tried lyrically great. 287 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.240 I was lyrically great, but I couldn't put songs together 288 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.000 at that point or anything that I thought was good 289 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.919 at least at that point. So I, you know, went 290 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.120 to the studio, I start writing and and that's how 291 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.279 I just kind of start writing and writing with people 292 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.720 for people, And yeah, I mean at that point it 293 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.519 was like no looking back. But when I was younger, 294 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.279 I was like the typical kid. I did karate, I 295 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.879 did I played basketball, I played football, and I thought 296 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:46.960 I was going to the NBA. 297 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.080 So you thought you were going to be, you know, 298 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.279 that kind of star. None that you're going to be 299 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.879 this kind of star. You know, it's all so you say, 300 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.399 Will Smith, that's a big name and a big like personality, 301 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.000 like someone that's like, you know, people are like iconic. 302 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.240 So how is that being in the room with that 303 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.440 person and I'm doing work like in that kind of 304 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.000 setting and him respecting you as well because you were 305 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:09.559 there to work. 306 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.799 Yeah, I mean they just I think they just thought 307 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.879 it was cool. I could rap really good. I remember 308 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.080 saying they used to have like this little room that 309 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.279 had a TV and it was him and Dwayne Martin 310 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.320 in there, and they was like, man, Hollywood's like high school. Man, 311 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.360 It's like a tight knit circle when you get in. 312 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.320 And that's something that like stuck with me. So it 313 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:26.799 was just cool being over there. They had like the 314 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:28.840 chef in the back. They would cook, Like I used 315 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.039 to take the bus to go there. 316 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.639 Did you take anything from him that you would like? 317 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.879 Pinpoint would be like something you still stick by to 318 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:35.320 this day. 319 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.480 Not probably from like working there, but I mean Will 320 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.919 Smith is just an inspirational person in general, like all 321 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.279 the stuff he say about you know, the ten thousand hours, 322 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.360 and he's definitely a person who has like crazy work ethics. 323 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.960 So off anything, I mean, you gotta work hard.
