Timmy Crazy Wall drink Champs. Yappyawa makes something. And when

(00:57):
you talk about hand in hand told it to hold
one of the best stand up comedians in the world
thirty one movies, who was it thirty one or thirty seven?
Thirty seven movies under his belt, but at all equals
in about thirty seven minutes to let me keep biking
you up, keep biking you up. The man is building

(01:18):
a school in Ghana right now. They're telling me Ghana's
gonna be the new Dubai with. They said Ghana's gonna
be the new Dubai with Miami combined together and great repertoire.
He's building a school to school is being built right now.
The man also got his dance move stolen out right

(01:42):
straight out. I thought all Africans get along. I found
out they do not. The man went from Africa and
went to Philadelphia and dominated. And I need to understand
how he start this comedy? Uh where from the motherland
to the comedy land in the case you don't know

(02:04):
what we talk about? Only Michael mother black friend. Now
I've been following, Um. What's going on? Um? How let's
be serious first before we get some champagne. I remember
hearing you say that in in Africa, Um, the kids

(02:26):
will have jobs at seven years old. Yes, man, Like,
what do you mean by jobs like washing the dishes? No?
Like going out and selling things in the marketplace. Africans
we are hustlers, man. We start a young age going
with our mother in um in the marketplace selling whatever,
whether you pick the fruit from your backyard and you're
gonna sell fruits whatever. Kids start working at a very

(02:48):
early age, and especially those who cannot afford to go
to school, they have no choice about to go to
work with their parents and as their parents to them
to work, or the kids like I want to work
at seven, their parents take them as helpers, you know,
because they can't a lot of time, they can't afford
to go to school, so you have to do something.
But the young can start selling at a very young age. Man.
That's why Africans were very good with numbers. You know,

(03:12):
the best bootleggers in the world. Too dead to mother circle.
So um, okay, So you're seeing what the kids working
at the early age. What makes you say, all right,
let me go back and let me let me build
their education. So these kids have an option not to work.

(03:32):
Is that one of the things. Yeah, that's what happened. Man.
I went back home for the first time after being America.
And that was back in two thousand and one. I've
been America for about fifteen years, and I said, you know,
I worked. I just did a camera in my first
movie next Friday and shout out to ice Cube. The

(03:52):
first time going back to Africa and the first I'm
going back home after being America, you know. And I
went back home, went back to where I was from.
You know, I'm walking around during daytime and I'm like,
why these kids out here not in school because in America,
your parents gonna jail if your kids, if your your
kids out the school, it's against the law. I'm like,
why these parents what is it called the yeah? Yeah.

(04:16):
And then and then I noticed, um, you know, I
saw I was asking like, hey, why the night school
don't have schools? They said, well, you know a lot
of time they have government school were just also known
as public school, you know, and it's not totally free.
Certain things are free, but they came in four simple
things as uniform books, stuff like that, you know. But
then the government schools fills up really faster. Then only

(04:38):
options left is private schools. And you can't afford the
private school over there, and that's what have these kids
out here with nothing to do. They just have no choice.
But they learn how to start selling things in the marketplace,
and that really, you know, touched my heart. I'm like, God,
I got, I got, I gotta do something about this,
you know. And then, um a mind you. At the time,
I barely had enough money. I just did next Friday.

(04:59):
I I don't make much money. But when you get
to division that, I got a vision twenty years ago
and I'm like, okay, let me you know, let me
go back in to America and really get my work on.
And I came and I was busting my ass for
the next twenty years, you know, saved up some money.
You know, went fast forward to like twenty nineteen. I
went back. I'm okay, I think I'm ready to start.

(05:20):
Let me find a land, and me find the right place.
And my mother had a land in the village where um,
you know, where she was born. She said, hey, let's
use this land. You know, the land, London land had
belonged to my grandmother when she passed. She gave it
to my mother. They don't talk about Africans, yeah, and

(05:42):
giving it to the next generation. That's everyone thinks it's
a cattle and ship. No, no, yeah, when when you
got you got them, they think they think when you
when your parents died, they give you a sheep, and
that's must leave your land, you know. And my mother
had a little nothing big, probably to a curse maybe

(06:03):
something like that acre and a half land was big
enough to build a school, have a playground, doing a house,
and then build a church, you know, because that's how
I grew up. My mother's an evangelist, you know, she
grew up. Installing got into me from day one. And
then you know, I said, care, you know that way,
you don't have no dispute with land because one of
the biggest problems in the content of Africa is land dispute.

(06:25):
A lot of time you're bottling from somebody and that
must that neiging on so the Lanta like three other people.
So it's a big fight about land. So I'm like
left going to land that we know, it's safe, is
land belong to their family. You know, let's stick with that.
And it was a lot easier. And then you know,
started the process and um and you know, I know

(06:45):
you mentioned the school has been built, but not the
school has built. The kids on school already, but the
school school makes some noise. And that's equivalent to like
a private school out there's a private school that's going
me totally free for the kids. You know, it's it's
gonna be it's kind of like kindergarten to ninth grade.

(07:06):
Because the last president what he did to help him win,
he made tend to eleven twelfth grade completely free in Ghana.
You know, so tending that's been I said, you know,
I'm not gonna touch a free one. Since it's freedom.
We just start from kindergarten to ninth that's where the
most expenses are when it comes to school. All right,
So how about you being an owner. How about a

(07:28):
kid is in a classroom being a clown? Do you
suspend him? That's how you made a living. I became
a clown when I got to America. Circle African kids
for some reason, we just at Maya school. We look
up to schools like it means the whole word to

(07:49):
us because it's a privilege because everybody don't get a
chance to go to school obviously, So when we go
to school, it's all about our education, our books. We
listen and we learned. You know. African kids take school
very seriously. It's gonna be the one kid that's trying
to be like Michael Blackman is gonna be there, you
know what I mean. He's gonna want to set it
up and throw spitballs and ship throw the paper planes,

(08:10):
you know what I mean. Hey, it's possible, man, I hope.
I'm hoping to go open the doors to bring up
more comedians, you know, because there's a lot of money
into telling jokes. So I'm not gonna stop the kids
from being who they are. The majority of the kids
coming there to become lawyers and doctors and accountants. You know,
that's what most African kids want to be doctor and accountant.
But coming from from there, how did how did you know,

(08:32):
like you said, most kids want to be locked doctors, lawyers,
accounts and things like that. How did you develop your comedy? Like?
What made you say I like to make people laugh? Well,
you know, when I came to America, the kids in
America claimed me so much, and you know, I mean, Doug,
I had no idea I was dosskinned. I came to

(08:54):
America and African booty. I didn't know we scratched our
booty like I had. You know back when I was
a kid in Africa and Africa this I have changed
that America has kind of like, you know, influencing our
the children now because prior to them, I just go
to school with the African kids that waterd you're making bells.
It was trying to you know what I'm talking about?

(09:15):
What what did you making? You know, you know the
colors that they're trying to say, rude boy, African guy?
You know with me, I came when I came. I
came to Amcad the era of light skinness. DeBarge, I'll
be sure, I'll be sure. Call it me bad, call
me bad. Committee. Life didn't get better for me to

(09:40):
drink ever before the drink our. Okay, when I got here,
it was like we was not InStyle. Let me get
your champagne. I've been trying to be skinned for I'm
the only I'm the only Negro that want to go
docor anybody want to get up. I want to go doctor.
I yeah, let's get him from champagne. Man. Man. But

(10:08):
you know when I came, you know, like I said,
I had no idea I was dark skin. I'm coming
to America is like fourteen years old and not the
movie Part two, not Coming to America, the movie nothing,
not real life. That's how smart you are coming to America.
You found America. I found out it was dark skin.

(10:31):
This is how I found out. I'm hanging out with
some you know, little kids my age, and they're like, oh,
you're black, so of course we are black. There isn't
no nigga you black ship. I'm like, how black is that?
They say? Under the black nigger, you haven't have you
look under the bat. That's darger ship. It told me,
I look like I have no bright ideas to many

(10:53):
difference between me and midnight. It's they said, when God
said let that be light, I was out of town.
They told me I could never tell a white lie.
They told me I looked like I smoked cigarette backwards.
They told me every time I take a ship, I

(11:14):
think my dick fell off. They told me Stevie wanted
to see you every day. That's dark and ship. They
told me, I have to wear white gloves before I
eat chocolate. I don't bite my fingers for him. I'm
gonna do a voking club shoulder with Lemon Jamie. I mean,

(11:36):
he's not as approved. They told me. It black lives,
mad up minds matter the most. That's black club with
a lemon. That's when I realized I was so now.
I was reading all listening somewhere. Now, you lived in

(11:57):
New York first first it yes, So how did that happen? Well,
my mother, um, you know, she has some friends that
lived in New York, some Christian friends. In fact, they
wouldn't wanted to invited her over. So she came with
me and my two younger sisters. And who lived in
New Ork. Uh and um the week with section is
called that's uh. And we lived in the lady got

(12:21):
to America. She let us stay in there basement with
stay in the basement for like some time. And then
from there we moved on to um north of New
York and lived in the shoter home. Yeah, lived in
the shown for a couple of years. You know. I
had to actually I'm living the shot to home and
had to go to school. And I remember some of
the kids that lived in the area where the shot
at home mus went to the school. So we had

(12:42):
to like kind of like come through the back door
so they don't catch us coming out of the shot
to home because kids are men claim on you, you know.
So I had to like come through the back door
and like go through the side just to make sure
these kids don't see me coming out of a shot
to home. So lived to New York and then my
mother had some friends, some other African friends that lived
in Philadelphia. He said, hey, look cost up limits a
lot cheaper in Philly. So come to Philly. We came

(13:04):
to Philly and it cost up living was better. I
remember we had our first three bedroom row home in
Southwest Philly a month. I had my own room for
the time. Yeah, that's it's like this is some of
like ninety nine. As a little born, I had my
own room and Phillip, believe or not, Philly was a
lot easier than Jersey. Jersey was tough. You couldn't get

(13:26):
a job at McDonald's. I got the Philly right away.
I said, would have find me you a job at
a Domino's pizza. I started off just answering the phones,
taking orders. Then I started delivering pieces on a bike.
Then I started making tip money. And then at that
by that time I realized by the time I got
the Philly, I got dogs out here. What's gonna just

(13:46):
the way it happens? Then the way it happens were
the zoo, motherfucker, it just sounds like dogs. It was
the radio. I think when I got to Philly at
that time, I've been in America three years almost, and
I kind of realized what it took to fit in.
I went through most of my my verbal roast abuse
in New York, New Jersey. So by time I got

(14:09):
the Philly, I realized, Okay, you know, to fit in,
you know you got to wed decent clothes. If you
go to school, you gotta wear name brain clothes because
you know, my first year of school in New York,
New Jersey, my mother took me shopping and store called
world Worth and Macquarie's that's from back in the day.
And then she bought my sneakers. She bought my sneakers

(14:32):
at path Mark, I remember Pathform. So she bought chicken
and bought my sneakers right next to each other. I
was wearing Chicken flavor sneakers. What happened? My mother brought
my sneakers in path Mark. They're so sneakers and path
Mark back then next to the chicken. For two years,

(14:56):
I will chicken flavor sneakers. Have you ever wore dinner
before my naga? I did so by the time I
got through, you know, and kids, and back when I
was a kid in Africa, you got girls when you
wore new clothes. It didn't matter what the brand was.
And I'm talking about back in the day. When you
come to America, not only has to be new, it
has to be a name brand. And I didn't know that.

(15:17):
So I went to school my brand new chicken flavor
with sneakers. My shirt from the court wood Worth and
my pants were wood Worth. I'm happy I got new clothes.
I'm a gonna get all the bitches I get there,
I'm like, where the bitches that. It's like what you're wearing.
I said, Nick, what you mean it's brand new? And
they said, no, it's not Adidas, it's not Nike. It's
brand new. Nobody ever wore this before. I didn't lit

(15:41):
my ass out, me and my chicken flavor of sneakers.
So by the time I got the Philly three years later,
I already knew what it took to fit in. You
gotta look fly and don't talk much. That's one of
the one thing I noticed about America. Unless you speak
to more suspicious and curious people, are value because those
two talk a lot or they once he like you

(16:02):
read his motherfucker. We we don't speak much. They can't
read you. So by the time I got the Philly,
I okay, I gotta keep quiet, just dress nice, chill
and back then if you're dog skin with an accent,
he was automatically or Jamaican drug dealer, I said that, yeah,
I just said that. Yeah. So when I got to Philly,
I'm dressing nice, I'm dark, I'm quiet. They thought I

(16:24):
was Jamaican drug dealer. They had no idea. I was
living pieces of Domino's, selling and chovies, pepper on the
sausage and ground beat, I love it. They had no
idea I was dealing pizzas. I'm like, you know what,
They thought I was a drug dealer. I said, let me,
let let me think that and longer than than with
drug dealing and I'm Jamaican, nobody's gonna sun with me.

(16:46):
But back then, wasn't that many Africans in America. So
if you had an accent, kan Jan Jamaican was number
one in line who did Jamaican belt. So kids, I thought,
you know, the money wasn't really messing with me much
as far as trying to pick on me. So when

(17:06):
I started realizing that he care. Now they're kind of
admiring me. Now it's my turn to like start roasting
niggas what you got on. That's when the comedy started.
It was like it's like a twelfth grade, like my first,
my first, um so they used to bag on you,
now you're bagging on now. Backing back to me and Nework.
By time I got the Philly I was spared. Yeah,

(17:27):
I was shop. I was ready. So that's when I
started bagging. And then that's when when I got out
of school and I was still a dominant piece of
One of my co workers who delivered with me, he
was an acting teacher at the Philadelphia Community College, and
he just thought I was funny, it mighty funny. You
should go an open mic night. I'm like, what is that?
And he's he kind of like, let me in the
right direction. And then I started going to open mic
and then here we are man some years later. It

(17:49):
was the first open mic Philly at this place called
Comedy Works. It's right down downtown Philly is Second and Chestnut.
That used to do open mic on Wednesday nights. It's
about like thirty years ago. It's when I started going
to open mic and then Philly. So we had an
open mic and at the Comedy Works. Then they had

(18:09):
one at the Funny Bone filling on South Street, and
Philly been a South Street right of course. Yeah, there's right,
it's keep it right there, a couple of blocks information.
So I used to go there for open mic on Monday.

what walk, go ahead, continue. I started gonna open Mike,
you know, like I said, late nineties, early um, late
ninety three, early ninety four, and then that's what happened.
My first got my first break like maybe a year

(20:27):
later on Comic View. And then fast forward to when
I had my first break on the movie Next Friday.
How did you get that? You had the audition for
Ice School? I did have the audition, But what happened
was it was almost right place, right time I used to.
After I left Dominoes, you know, later in like um
nineties six, I had started applying for jobs that man,

(20:50):
I still had the pizzas to this day ahead Domino
there I ain't gonna play in the ro ain't get
I used to hate you know what. They hit the
part about hitting the living dominoes because back then they
had to ruse thirty minutes your pieces free. So I'll

These niggas open the door to thirty one minutes. I'm
not nigga. I've been here. Give me my money, motherfucker.

(21:14):
You know niggast over nig don't open the door for
another man. Let me the fun. You know, it's crazy.
That's why I think, uber, I'm not what's this ship
Amazon and all that? They take pictures now when it did,
But I see one dude take a picture and take

(21:35):
this ship back, Like, motherfucker, you don't see the ring
right there? We got you a ring. He left it,
took a picture and then grabbed it and took it back.
It's a fun up. But okay dominos. Yeah yeah, so
um And that's where it all started. And then I
remember comedies started to get pretty decent, and then I
decided to Um. I mean, I went to New York

(21:56):
one time to do something. At that time, I'm manage
your dominoes. I'm like years old. I made it from
all the way answerment phones, so like Calvin from McDonald's,
like the Calvin name. They could started off making burgers
and he I became manager. But then I started comedy
started happening, and I started to comedy a little bit
more serious in my job. And I'm one time I
went to New York to do um the Uptown comedy.

(22:20):
It was on or something whatever, whatever it was, it was,
I want to go do appearance on that. And then
my assistant manager didn't show up to work. So now
and then that happened to be the same day to
the owners of the Domino decided to show up, so
nobody and that at that moment, that particularly one was
a franchise. It was incorporated. So but this franchise belonged
to like a certain amount of people. They could just

(22:42):
make any decisions and won. Because I wasn't there to
running store. I was a manager. I got the fired
after being there since like eleventh grade, eleven twelve. I
was there for like five years. I got fired. I
gain fire, and now everything goes wrong. You know, I'm like,

(23:04):
now I have to take comedy serious. At that moment,
I was probably making a hundred dollars a show when
I got fired a show in comedy, in comedy, and
then I went to Comic View. I remember doing Comic
View like ninety four. That's when I actually came to
l A for the first time. That's when it was
in d C Comic View. It was like it was
a competition back then, So d L eagles to host it,

(23:25):
and it was a competition with three comedians and you win,
you mix it the next level. And then back then,
mind you, they paid you a hundred fifty dollars to
do it. You have to fly yourself down with yourself
in the hotel. In the hotel, I went up there
for like negative six hundred dollars and your whole goal
was to be on television. What's you gonna TV? Then

(23:46):
you're worked a little bit more money, and I remember,
actually I remember it's running Time where Snoop was going
through his his murder trials, because I'm on one time
being then elevator and that's the first of myself elevator,
you know, And I remember all of that. All that
came back to me because we're cool now and I'm like, damn,
I remember when I make you the first time you
was really me. Now he's just happy, motherfucker. Like when

(24:09):
what some mean looking motherfucker you know, and on death
row records and you're on death row might be a
different So, um, so I wonder did coming if you
lost in first round? So I'm gonna get a hundred
fifty dollars because if you win, the more you go
than more money you make. So you know, I'm limited
first round. I come back home, had to wait like

(24:31):
fucking three fucking weeks my hunting fifty dollar paycheck, you know.
And then but when I did got on TV, I
went from a hundred dollars to nine five hundred dollars
a show. So things just kind of picking up and
then fast forward. I went up there with somebody. How
I got the party in the next friday. So when
I left um in ninety sis, I got a job
with the airlines. Now, you know, every most comedians had

(24:54):
an airline job because you get the fly for free,
even though you're not supposed to technically, you use the
job for personal gains. Trying to figure out what airlines
you work for, I want to say Southwest, motherfucker. They
didn't have spirit back then. Spirit there was there was
a decent airline. No, but you close because the name

(25:17):
don't exist anymore. But they didn't merge with somebody else. No,
they didn't merge with somebody else. Just like Continental became United.
This airline is now with another airline. Who you think it? No,
w A, nope, come on, BOYHEADGA eight five motherfucker US Airways.

(25:39):
That's it. You're not with Americans. So I work at
US Airways back then, and I was using the shoot
out them niggers. I mean, I just used them for
the flight benefit and then the little court on fire
as I'm not supposed to that. You cannot use personal
gains for any free flights. So what I did back then,
you know, we all took airline jobs. A lot of

(25:59):
comedian has had it, you know. And what happens is,
you know, let's say I want to come to Miami
and do a show. I'm not that popular, not gonna
fly me down. I'm like, know what, just give me
a hundred dollars whatever, I fly myself down. And that's
what I did a lot of time. So during my
days off, I will fly to l A once a
month and I'm in my flute to l a. This
one particular time, um nine, I went to do the

(26:21):
space called a comedy store. So back then, you know
the two main comedy clubs with the Improv and Comedy Store.
So and it had two nigga knights. Fato was a
main nigga knight at a comedy store and then more
better Mondays was a man nigga Knight at the Improv.
So it was Monday and Tuesday. And those that don't know,
nigga knight means black night. Yeah, black knight. That's where

(26:41):
are the popular black comedians would show up and do stuff.
You to America. I'm sorry, yea, they might say they
might go somewhere looking for nigga night. Maybe particular night
was the same night ice Que came to check out
Mike Apps Wow for the first time, and I happened
to perform him that night. So you know, I did
my thing, and then I heard from the lady that

(27:03):
booked the show, like, hey, um, they want you to
audition for this movie, to audition for something. They didn't
say the movie. They just said this project called Next Friday.
I had no idea what had to do the Friday movie,
you know, And in the semi descript and I'm reading
and I said, okare, and then we set up um
a date from the comeback and audition for it. When
I came back to Philly, everything that go wrong almost

(27:25):
went wrong for me making my audition. Let me tell
you the first thing that went wrong. So, um, while
I'm in Philly, we're going to New York to do
a show was me Kevin Hall. Kevin just started Kevin
be don't come about three years this time, me and
Kevin Hard, another comedian, local guy named buck Wild from Philly,
and then a guy named to Rape. So we all

(27:46):
decided to go do a show in New York. Now
buck Wild Philly. Buck Wild was this nigga. Whatever you do,
don't don't take no money from this nigga. Always money
is counterfeit. Every jury this nig got, Where did you got?
One time? This isn't got sold many or fake runless,
fake rules. Watching had me on the payment plane. I

(28:08):
didn't realize this ship to my arm started to turn ground.
I'm not your payments are over my fun out here.
So this time we about to go to New York
and we all got our cars. Nobody want to put
miles on their cars. But suggested his car and don't
get it on his car was more like newer one
who feels like, you know, we need a car. We
were making the New York and back with no problem, right,

(28:32):
so you know we I want to take bux car.
We all met at this one location where he's getting
bus car. This nigga volunteered the African nigga to drive
his car. We're gonna Turnpike around like the New York area,
almost in New York. I looked back to stick trooper
behind us. I'm like, why this n't get following us?
So you know, I'm my African first time, everything coping

(28:52):
around me. I'm nervous, no no, no, not spoken we
I'm nervous. I'm like hitting the breaks a little bit.
I'm more confused, you know. I'm like and Ray Kevil Likeke,
what you don't just drive normal? The police behind us,
I don't know what to do? You know, won't they
pull us over? You know? So what happened? The reason
why they pull us over? Because back in Philly, you

(29:13):
know doing this ever, whenever you get out of tickets
on your car, you just report the place stolen. You
get a new plate. Right, But what Buck had on
his car was a plate that somebody had reported stolen,
and then he just put it on there just to
have a registration plate. So now when the cop read
the plate, it says stolen property. So I don't know
whether it's a car stolen. They just know this motherfucking

(29:34):
ship is stolen and I'm the nigger driving. Pull us
over me, Kevin Hart, Tourey Gordon, and Buck Wild State trooper.
Guns out, get out of the car, put your hands up,
walk backwards. I don't know what the fund to do.
It's like you're gonna get shot and get out the man.
These are white state troopers, yes, white, and you guys
had no idea who it was. Pull us over. Gets

(29:58):
to get out the car, lay flat, you know what
I'm gonna ground, like, what's going on? Ever something? Bucks like,
my name is A Z's white and nigga. We become
a Z's white. Cops like, who who's causing? I said, Buck?
Then this nig got caught, he said, Mike, nigga fu
z white. How you Muslim with the last name white?

(30:21):
It's this nigga car, he said, all of a sudden,
has counterfeit money in his pocket. He threw the ship
out right the state. True, hey, you threw your money
and get back to Nigga's goddamn But make a long story,
sho will end up in the sale that night. So
here this nigg got all this. He's fraid about to

(30:43):
get search the niggas showing them money try and get
ready to fake money. My Blue and Green trying to
offer us money to chew Nigga. I'm not hungry, but
I'm not chewing none of your fake money. You know.
Um Later on, I guess they figure out it was
stolen play whatever. About six am, we missed the show.
Of course we get to go the drop us up

(31:05):
at the train station. We all had to find out
went home, you know. So the day I had to
go from my audition was the day I had to
go to court wow for next Friday. So and me
and Kevin was the only one to decide that we're
gonna go to the court. The rest of the niggas
and there wasn't time to skip town. They and I've
had warrants later. They had to deal with that ship

(31:25):
later on. But Mommy and Kevin got up that morning,
I said, Okay, I gotta catch this flight. At one
fifty pm out of Philly. We got a quarter nine
o'clock in North New Jersey, got up left Philly like
six am making the cord. Kevin drove really fast, got
me in time to catch my flight, land in l
A about four pm and made a five pm audition.

(31:47):
All that ship went down and did Now have you
ever felt I believe I access to go goes Tommy
type cast because like you know what I mean. I
think that's like always having the African role. Like, for instance,
no one's never going to ask me to play a

(32:08):
doctor or a lawyer. I's not gonna get that role.
That mad me. You know I've been I was talking
about no, no, no no. But I've heard that, you know,
and say, hey, Mike, you know, if you want to
make it, you know, as an actor whatever you know,
you have to like change. You can't always be African.
But my thing is stand up comedy is my thing.

(32:28):
I never you know, acting all that is just an
extra plus. Comedy is my thing. I'm not about to
food my audience and change who I am because I've
been doing comedy thirty years and I make a hell
of a living from it. If I would have changed.
I don't know what would have happened. Coming my first priority,
and I'm not changing it for nothing. Let's give us

and he moved them to a retirement home and my
absence his son, and Mike Apps comes to him and says, look, man,

I had just became up like a teenage wall. Then
I just really like understood those lines. Why, like kind
of Bernie Matt kind of remind me of what I'm becoming.

(43:03):
Because Bernie Mac was a guy that refused to change
for anybody. He made him later accepting for who years?

George Colin or Robin Williams. I mean George, she's George

much about him as much as I know about Robbing.
So I gotta go what I know missed out fire

(50:09):
we're talking about. That's not George, that's rob Williams. Come on,
I'll say, he said robbing. I've been thinking, man, Robin Harris.
I gotta go Robbing Williams. Yeah, yeah, of course that's
the single handing one of the greatest ever handed, but
I was also you know, did you think about it?
Now they say that comedians who addresses where this? You know,

(50:30):
he had a whole outfit on, But we didn't think
about that back then. I didn't think about that. We
didn't think because the thing about you know, you know,
back and like if you look at Jamaican comedy back
in the day, African forgot to be funny. He put
a dress on just because it looked funny on him.
We never thought about, you know, all this extra stuff
that Americul later on came up with. You know, but

(50:51):
Robin Williams definitely the goat, one of the goats of
all time. We skipped the one he said, oh after that? Yeah,
oh okay, okay, Black Thought or most Death conscious Ship.

Cat Williams or D L. Hoove. I gotta go with

(51:37):
love man, I gotta go with Cat Williams. Cat. Yeah,
I got you know, last I mentioned, you know, me
and Cat started, yeah, thing about we didn't meant. We
didn't mean, look, you didn't look at the big deal
because you didn't thought about what I said. It was
more like me picking him up, you know, let me
getting exactly happened, so we could do a flashback. What happened?

(51:58):
What happen? All right, So we're talking about I think
we're comparing comedians, and I think I mentioned like I
think to be a great comedian you have to be lovable.
And I said, cat Cat has to be one of
the most lovable comedians, regardless how much cracky I think
he smoked or whatever. All of a sudden, when that
came out, this called crack crack ahead. So that's right,

(52:20):
and that you only got the crackhead part the good thing,
I said, you know, so that way, Yeah, yeah, we
sew each other. What happened? What happens with the comedians.
It's not like rappers, right, you're not gripping up, no, no,
But thinking about the comedians were more like, though, I
can't fight in perposon, but I'll beat the ship out
of you online, right, I mean, I get back on

(52:42):
the computer. Whoop your ass, I see you in personally,
I'm running behind that computer. N I'm the ship, you know,
so and comedians, that's what we are. We ros online
so we see each other in person. We really don't
want to see ech other in person because we're rather
just go back online, you know. But the thing about it,
we sell you other in the middle of a TV

(53:03):
show on While and Out on Wild and now where
were on opposite teams, you know, and me, I didn't
look at it as nothing, but I knew at that
moment when I was pride of me saying I knew
that you had an issue. You had a problem already,
you know. And then um so on the show when
we roasted each other, all his roles was personal because

(53:26):
like on my career, you know, I ain't ship. I
never do this. I'm keeping my ship jokes and funny
because I don't want people to know what happened. I
wanted to know where we're beefing. You know. My joke
was all about him being like short, you know, and
perm here and his are like you never did nothing,
You never did a spect show, you never did this,
you never did you know. All his was all degrade

(53:47):
in my career, you know, So I just I, you know,
I let him live with that because you know, he
felt bad. I called my crack ad. But you never
talked about now now we did, you know, because I think, um,
somebody had died. Because we lost many celebrities in the
last few years. I forgot who died. I came up
and then I made you know, it's like, you know
what I've made a tweet about, you know what? Everybody

(54:07):
dies so quick. I would hate to, like, you know,
something happened to one of us and we beating over
something that's so simple. And then when I posted it,
he reposted it. So I knew that we squashed a
little comedy. But then I heard he did. I heard
a distract on me, but they didn't come out yet.
That's what I heard. Like someone who's not good stay too.

(54:29):
You know, man, I'm gonna just get the kids from
my school to whoop his ass if you start anything. Okay,
all right, Steve Harvey or Centric the entertainer, Ah, you

Bruce of Mike Apps, Lenny Bruce, Lenny Bruce got go

(56:40):
Mike Mike as you know, he's he's my dog. You
know we started on the same time, wasn't it was
our first movie was together. When you tore together Mike
as my brother, man, I gotta go with my brother.
Goddamn it. That is that why you like kind of
like sided with Mike App when he was beating with
Kevin Hart? Uh did I sigh? Oh? You know what

(57:00):
I mean. I'm trying to think exactly I did. I
was more, but you know what I think. I think
I was asked. He's looking like, you know what, I
think me and Mike had worked more together. You know,
he's put money in my pocket. It's towards this, So

(57:21):
you know, I guess you you gotta go with whoever's like,
you know what I mean, who are you working with more? Period?
You know, keV won on that whole other level. Me
and Kevin didn't me Kevin never worked together since we
did as stundards as comedians. You know, when we was comedian,
when I was headlining, I would have him coming open
up for me at times. You know, I put money
in his pocket and he started. But you know, back

(57:43):
stay see what at that next level. You know, we
really haven't got a chance to work together. I've worked
with Mike Apps from a couple of more movies and
tour me together. So I gotta go. You know, I
expect that you'll go who you make your breaking bread with. Okay,
so Friday or next Friday. I mean, you know, just
like saying coming to America, I want to come to

(58:04):
America too. Yes, you can't top one on anything. You know,
into America too. It's it's fucking gangster. Come on, come on,
you like it. I loved it. Had here. She thought
I was playing around because you got people like Charlottage
and gard who was my brother, and he was going

(58:27):
on and saying how he didn't like it. How, And
the thing is, I didn't think part one meant that
much to him. Maybe you know, um, coming from Amongst
Cola in South Carolina, he probably couldn't relate to the
East coating garbage and banana pills and people really going
to you know, you know, fucking McDonald's and McDonald's was
kind of like a hangout back then. Like McDonald's was

(58:49):
like it was like being fly if you had if
you had like a quarter pounder, you had a big Mac.
Like that was like that was like that was like
that was like that was like yeah, I mean Class
part one is a classic of all time. You know
about two, what's very funny, you know. And the thing
the difference is were then allowed to to go in

(59:10):
theaters where you're just totally sitting in the theater and
paying complete attention to Wait because Car two came out
on COVID and it came out while you home watching it.
You go take a piss, you come back, you miss something,
you know, you take a ship, You suck your lady,
you're bust a nut, and you go to sleep. You know,
it's all funked up. We have sucked up. I was
very upset about this ship being so on the Amazon Prime.
We didn't have a rare carpet moment where we all

(59:32):
got the chance to shine. And then everybody's sitting the
theater and pick complete attention to this movie. So you know,
if you can't pay attention to the movie, you're not
gonna You're gonna have a little I think it was
great movie, not not better than one supposed to be.
It's not supposed to be just like next Friday met
him on Friday, you know, like bad Boys for it

(59:52):
is just gonna be bad boys for Yeah, it's bad boys.
But you know what make a great If somebody slacked
shoot out of Will Smith and forward, that would make
it really good. Chris, Chris, come on in and slap
the ship out of him, and that's how the movie start.
Somebody walks up and just sacked the shut do with
the movie? We it ahead? You heard? Yes? Last question

(01:00:24):
loyalty or respect? Another last question for the interview. Last
question for this game respect. I mean, loyalty is so important.
You know, um, you gotta be loyal. I go with
loyalty cool? Where'd you go with? I go both all

(01:00:45):
the time. This is the time I do drink yes, yes, yes,
because I believe loyal respect goes together. Salotle slot oh
shi come on, he nigger, that was the answer. That motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying. You finished through this the game?
This he finished the game. That's the reason why we
take a shot for that. So now one of the

(01:01:07):
craziest things whoa Okay, one of the craziest things is
I'm gonna get Rob lad on tonight. But you know what,
that's how nig Got set you up to get you
drunk your ship. What is my man name? The basketball player? Oh,

(01:01:28):
one of the biggest basketball players. They call him the
Greek free But we know he's from Ghana, maybe Nigeria. Okay,
he's family from the Ji I think he was. He
might have been. I'm not sure he's born in Greece
or not. So we got we got. Can we show
him his clip? We got his clip? Is his clip? Ready?

(01:01:48):
Show him his clip? His own clip? His clip was first?
Is this what you made up? That dance? So you've
been at this day? And I made it then before
Yann was I made it before Yanni was playing in

dance to America in t and You and Ghana is

(01:02:12):
at my house in Ghana. That's in my home. This
is when I just actually was in my last trip.
Day I just landed. And whenever I come home, they
always have like the Cult show, ladies come out and
greet me the right way. Okay, we're gonna show you
the other clue. You know how to say his last name?
Where was you at when you've seen that? Is that it? Well?
This this was sent to me. Yeah, that was sent
to me because here and the thing about it I

(01:02:34):

Cleveland that time, did the dance or so lend me
the dance and that you can see him a fortnight
one sunny. That's literally well don't you know that he
knows dude looking like yeah, a fortnite, a fortnite on
the fortnight's him is doing the dance. You know. Um,

(01:02:58):
I came up that dance. I mean I introduced I
introduced it this to America on the show I did
on YouTube called Black Friday. So Black Friday was a
short I was given to me by Walter Latham, who
was the creative of of um Kings of Comedy. So
back in the back in like two thousand eleven, twar
that's when YouTube got really big. YouTube give money to

(01:03:21):
like about five producers, like five million dollars to these producers.
Go create your own network content so Walter Layton got one,
Shack's company got one, and then I think, um Puffy
might have got one, and I'm gonna show the other
ones as far as black people, like four or five
black people got it. So Walter, hell, this money's out.
Care who's hot online? You know, that's when I was

(01:03:43):
really hot on Twitter at the time. That's when Instagram
was not men there popping, yet I was hot on
Twitter roasten niggas every day. He's okay, let me get
Mike al show. He said, Mike, what do you want
to do? I said, you know people like current even,
I said, let me and I'm good at making clowning,
but let me do a show where I make fun
of everything that happened that week, Like if a celebrity

(01:04:05):
funked up that week, let me roach that nigga and
they all get a dance. It's not that's not when
you had to Donald Trump wigg right, No, that was
more later. That was then Trumps. It's Nigga news eleven
twelve a right, So look up the show called Black
Friday I have like I did like three seasons of that.
It was my first time actually making money online. Walter

(01:04:27):
actually pay me fifty thousands a year, and I'm like,
I could make money just being online, you know. So
it was a good feeling, you know. But yeah, so
pretty much I'll make fun of whoever funked up that week.
I'm like, let's say, if if Drake got caught sucking
some bitch on on on Black Friday this week, beach Drake,

(01:04:48):
fuck the beach Drake. You got the heat Bitch dance.
And I called it a heat Bitch dance, and I
did my dance. That's how it got popular. That's how
I started. You know, he bitch like, he itchy and
then bitch together. He bit yeah for doing something he
bit ship it might have sucked up was a he
bitch to me. So if you look at Black Friday,
that's what I did. Is that's and everybody got the
dance at the end of the roach. That's my roast

(01:05:11):
this person, they got the dance. That's when I introduce
the Dames South America. You know, so every athlete has
done it doing touchdown, you know. Um, and then I
continue to show on all the way till now. You know,
and I think when I when he first did the dance,
I think his brother, you know, hey, look, my my,

(01:05:31):
my brother did the dance. And then that's when I
got that video, the one on the same with him
or the other one, probably the other one, I'm not
sure which one it is, maybe the youngest, you know.
And and then I ran into him saying, hey, well
he's just the brothers I hit with a big fans.
If he ever in Milwaukee, won't come to a game,
let us know. Then I ran into them an All
Star Week and um, Cleveland, I want to say that

(01:05:53):
I was just last year. That's you're running to them
and to do some things mother. You know, I met
the mom. She was a fan of everybody to me,
you know. And then um, and when he Yanni came
on the faield to play, you know, he looked at
me and did the dance in my face. I'm like, okay,
show respect for it went fast forward to like a

(01:06:13):
month ago, November. The November, somebody sent me saying, pull
up up, yeah, put up, put up on this. That's
the video that Yeah, go to Fortnight one. Yeah, yeah,
go to the Fortnight one because it's and it's like
you in the background. Well I didn't know I was
in the background. It sort of felt like to me,

(01:06:35):
and it almost looks exactly like that. My bad, my bad,
sorry about that. No, no, no, I'm not in the video.
I'm not on a Fortnight Vigo. No, it's not like
video game. It's a video game, that's all. It's not me.
That's the way it shows on there, like the characters. Yeah.
My thing is, here's the thing with dances. I don't

(01:06:57):
think you could copy right a dance. Right, it's a
matter of lawyerty and should respected the person you got
the dance for. That's all. So I have a friend,
um then because it's Keter who dances. He's a guy
that jumped out the car. He always wear the same
shorts outfit and he does all the time. The guy
from Africa, Yeah Africa, he's a no no, he wears

(01:07:20):
socks and shoes and shorts, same outfit every time, the
same outfit. Cardi B was the first one that posted
him back, I mean three or four years ago. So
my mother, I think, um, the baby who was shouting
at the baby, really good guy, you know. I think
the baby was doing something that had to do a
Fortnite and it was gonna use this particular dance, and
the baby is like, okay, that dance belongs to Cussin

(01:07:42):
Skeeter and Fortnite because it's Sketer Chack. Just that simple.
That's all this nigger had to do was say, hey,
you know I have to dad, but it's not my dance.
You know, I got this dance from Michael Blacks, and
let's cut Michael check. He didn't even have to write
me the check. Write the ship to the mom, profit
let's let's let's at kids in school. That's the right
thing to do. But nothing next to you. I know,

(01:08:04):
my ship is on on Fortnite. I'm like, that ship
is not cool. So that I was like, you know what,
nobody pulled it up. I swear to God, you gotta
see that. Just go to the dude next to him,
look just like you. I thought that that was the
whole thing. Who send it to me? Wasn't. Yes, I
sent it to you, but I go to my I

(01:08:26):
g and get the shift. But the second yeah, it's on,
you know it's it's but the one that you posted.
I thought that was the Fortnight Okay, well it's right
next to each other. Okay, yeah, that's all right, cool,
I asked him again, that's him doing it alright, alright, alright,
but like almost like animated, okay, which is very all right.

(01:08:47):
So now you reach out to him because y'all brothers. Yeah,
I reached you know, I d M them. I don't
have his personal number, but I do have his brother's number,
because his brother getting his number to day you don't
do something his mom and everything. So I text him,
I say, you know, I kept it real nice. Hey man,
I think somebody you know, just hit me up. I
saw my dad's on there. I appreciate it, dad, but mothersucker,
what's going on? And just ignored it? Ready and ignored it?

(01:09:10):
You know, d M him nothing. You know, you know
sometime when you start like um, you know, it's like
when you're a girl and you break up with her
and he's like, hey, how are you doing? Baby? Just
calling to see how you're doing. You don't apply, okay, bitch,
where then you at? All right? You know what, motherfucker?
Let pick my carmna kill you. They started escalator that
with me. I'm like, you know, to me, I'm like, okay, hey,

(01:09:31):
what's going on? Everything good? You know, y'all got my
dad's nothing. Motherfucker, somebody's doing my dads and they just
kept going. And then you know, I'm like, I'm so
disappointed in him because we're from the same continent. You
know what, I don't mean want just acknowledge where you
got it from. Because at the end of the day,
the white niggers at Fortnite don't know what, who belongs
to what. They have no clue too. I have no idea,

(01:09:53):
but I'm like a lot of times they don't know.
So it is your job if they called you because
they know you, Hey man, this belongs to this guy.
Cut his nig check. Ain't gonna It's not gonna hurt you,
no way possible. They're just loyalty and show respect to
where you got it from. And that's the only thing
that's the problem I have with Jannis. You know, like
you could have just been like head, you know, this

(01:10:13):
is Michael Blackson's days. You know, let's give him something
for his nonprofit. Let's leave. I don't even need the money.
Then I'm rich. Give this a shot for that. But
you not even need the money. Just just press the
prince principle so I could pay my principle at my
fucking school right a different Yeah, So I was bub

(01:10:37):
you were disappointed. I disappointed because that's that's a that's
a that's a real big corporation for tonight. I've never
personally played Fortnight, have you. No, No, I don't. I
don't do get games. I don't. My kids, my kids,
even my kids went on there. They're like, oh yeah, dad,
somebody's doing your days. You know, everybody was saying I
didn't know if you were sending this to me, and
then it were going on his page and like, yo,
you know, I just telling Michael Blackson day. My fans

(01:10:59):
are hard core. I don't know who had hardcore fan.
My fans are to be high. My fans go in
and they're coming at you, niggah. Yeah yeah, and they're
coming out got him, and he didn't respond, didn't respond,
He just ignored it. That's even worse, you know what
I mean. If you saw him tomorrow, we just started

(01:11:20):
christ making out of him. I'm just playing, man, I'll
go on line, beat the ship out of him. I seen.
I'm gonna go the other way and go back on line.
I just saw this point sucking up right now. I
fight online, man, I know, like fighting in person, No,

(01:11:43):
but meet me online, motherfucker, but like you said, like, um,
it's just it's just respect. Like people. They just called
me because I never cleared my records like if I had,
if I had now and a young artist want to declare,
do my record, I'd be like no, I just didn't

(01:12:07):
want to. I was like an old hater. That's how
they categorized. But it's a coause of things just like that.
It's because if sometimes if you don't say no, when
your your image is just open, someone just come and
just take your ship. Do you do? You do you
regret not having something like that? Like I said, Look,
you said you can't pack it, you can't patting. I
don't think you could. But like I said, if you

(01:12:29):
know when you know where you got it from and
just showing respect and principle, you know, that's why it
shows who here, Because that's why he feels so strong
about it, because if it was him and in reverse,
he would have went to the person acknowledged it. That's
it and don't even matter. You know, this is your dance,

(01:12:50):
this is your dance fortnite and trying to call you know, check,
but I let him know nothing. He just like Jack
the dance. I don't mean to say that exactly that
he wasn't. He knew what he was doing and he
didn't make up the nigga not a dance uthing, you know.
But he liked my dance because he's done my dance
and in front of me at the stadium. You know

(01:13:13):
a lot of people have done my dad. So yeah, man,
I was, I was. I was more disappointed, especially from
your African brother, you know, you know the struggles up.
Just let me tell the hardest thing that Greek ship
too far, Yeah, too fucking far. This ain't my fucking
this ain't my fat this real life money. This is
my fucking dance. But yeah, nigga, you can still got

(01:13:34):
the check. What's the name of the school, by the way,
that Michael Blackson Academy. That's right. The foundation is Michael
Blackson Foundation. Motherfucker. Go ahead, send some money. Foundations, it's open.
Just give it to stick at the school, honest, do

(01:13:55):
the right thing, the right things, big fan. All I
was when he went championship. I was so happy. I'm
like another African. You know, what is the thing about American?
You are not. I don't care where you're from, whether
you're from England or Africa, Asia. You're not a star
where Haiti? Where were you from? You're not a star too.

(01:14:17):
You feel like America know who's you are. So it's
very hard to come in this country and make it,
you know what I mean. He came here from another
place and he made it. I made it, and they
can show some respect. It's hard enough as it is
for us coming from other places and make it. Head,
don't cut the check, Mona and every other it was,

(01:14:39):
it was a lot of It was a lot of
brothers at the World Cup this year. I did not
realize how many brothers places. And you know it's so
funny you mentioned, you know, just how everything is coming
back around. You know, I think in this word, every
race would have their chance to become great. When I
came to America in that late eighties, it was African described.

(01:15:00):
We wasn't scratched and got almost the number one genre
in the music exactly. And not only that, the real
football we just y'all, y'all, don't down grid called our
shi soccer. Motherfucker's were the original football. You play the
ship with your foot, okay, I reckon football. You you

(01:15:21):
throw the your ny you only killed the ball only
kicked the ball when you're kicking a fucking field goal.
Money go, We kicked the ball all the time. Okay,
your right, motherfucker shout out the phelly. But you know,
while we're on the music music thing, and afrobeat is

(01:15:42):
taken over the world. In fact, I started up my
own management company from Michael Blackston Management, and I got
one of my first Khana artists here, come and say,
how to my god, let's take a shot. You don't
drink man, he's staying this. Man, he stayed. You want

(01:16:05):
to say this that doesn't drink this? You know the
thing about it? Like you know, I went and I
was trying to like, you know, fun because Ghana Nigeria
has all the artists. I mean I could name techniguas
and Nigeria that a stag the video wis kid brun

Damn you you on York, New York. It's like the

(01:16:29):
New York music. You know. Ghana on the other hand,

(01:16:51):
We have stone Boy, we have Socco Discot is a rapper,
and we have Black Sheriff, who's a rapper. Up. You know,
when you have four people in the whole country, I'm like,
let me make that fifth star this gamble, you're gonna
say something I'm getting I'm not gonna live man, It's
it's a pleasure of being here, and I'll come bar

my map on the what's start our heads from gambo

(01:17:14):
to to the world. Man, Okay, okay, flag man, come on,

doing your thing. Man about let's put that let me
see that flag, man, let me see that big fag
in that flag coming on over man. That's s So

(01:18:20):
we spoke about a car earlier, but a car said
that Africa itself will be the most powerful nation in
the world content continent. You went to Miami Public School,
York Ork, all the African Americans Queens, New York, if
all the African Americans moved back to Africa, and he
said that that Africa would be the most power Oh definitely,

(01:18:43):
just there'll be just to be left with hockey players
and punters. I mean it's you know, especially around the
time during like when George Flogg got killed and we
felt like black felt like America don't have no love
for black people. You know, we all talked about it.
What if we all just got the funk out of
here and went back Africa. Amerga Amerga b and you

(01:19:06):
know what make Amerga great? Different people, all of us,
the cultures, the different cultures wanta make America great, you know.
So there's no way where there should be any kind
of racism because we foreigners is what make this country
where it is. We you know what I'm saying. I've
seen African brother in France and I said to him,
what's up, my brother? He said, you know my brother?

(01:19:27):
You know why because African before where I've seen the
African brother just gave him like you know the brother,
you know, my brother, Like, oh my brother. But I
know because you know, you know what's the funny ship.
I said to um my friend the other day, I said,

(01:19:49):
as Americans, sometimes we don't understand that other coaches look
at us all as Americans like they don't they sometimes
they don't look at the black American, the white American,
the Chinese American. They just we open our mouths and
we're in you know, doogle door of Germany, and they're like,
it's American American, motherfucker. And that's what racism in America.

(01:20:12):
If Americans actually knew that, if you go anywhere else
and you open your mouth and the new you from America.
The same thing. Even when I go back home, when
I go to Ghana and I talked regular like this,
they look at me as a American, you know, and
then that and that's what makes America great man, all
of us different color and different races, different looks, and

(01:20:34):
we know and we come here and we make this
country what it is today. Good question. I got a
real good question for me. We know Haitians are Africans,
are definitely, but where do Haitians really come from? Are

(01:20:56):
we from Ghana? From Africa? Yeah, you know, from Nigeria?
Where Africa your history? Well, you know what I would say.
I know, we know we's free to everybody. We don't
that part. We know you're understaying. But where are we
A lot of a lot of the slaves, as far

(01:21:17):
as I know, I don't know to you know, I
came to America. They didn't teach me. I came to America.
I didn't learn too much on the history, even when
I was saying, you know, and that's one thing I'm
gonna try to do my school is teaches kids African history.
A lot of them that I don't tell. You know,
you want us to learn our own history, you know,
so teach them that history is sort of know where
they came from, you know. But I know, as far

(01:21:37):
as I know, you know, a lot of the slave
came from the west, from the coast and that's the West,
like you know you're telling about like you could be
anywhere from like Ghana from right, I'm an East coasting. Yeah,
you won't investigate your motherfucker, but like you know what,
you're from the west, like you know to my like
Ghana gonna be our senate god, that whole coast. You know,

(01:21:58):
if he took one boat you go up past, you
can kind of like see them all. And that's where
most of the slaves came from, you know. So I'm
glad you know what I'll give you you come to
my village. Man you from going on my nikay. All right,
he's been my friend, my friend of Hollywood. He know,

(01:22:20):
he's been trying to get me to eat African food.
And every time, um, I get close to eat African food,
I see a clip of you. I see a clip
of you're going and I'll be like, I can't do it.
First of all, people with something about womping in my hands,

(01:22:42):
how do you spell spoon as pH And I'd like
to see you. It's not that it's the faces you're
making you feel like this, Oh look like you looking
like it's the best African. He's the best man in

(01:23:05):
my heart, but you'll be walking it up. Now. If
I go to if I go to the African place
and I put out a full I am stop a lot.
You know what I used for a fork pizza? Motherfucker?
I just playing. I don't, but you know, Africa's like,
for some reason, we just feel like the food tastes

like a rapp carcer to the t we lik a
uh females whatever. They had peace, and I can remember
just be sitting back and I remember me being used

to that, like I'm used to if thirty thousand people
in the building, every thirty minutes, there's a mush, there's
a push, a drink throne, like I remember being so
used to that. I think Mike Epps invited me, and
I wanted to see Mike EPs, and then I think

(01:36:43):
you were going on before him, So I went and
I watched the show. I was up to you when
I watched this show and came and then you came out,
and I remember like, so nobody's going say nothing wrong
to him, like nobody, And then I remember Mike Epps
doing the same thing and then him coming up stay
and I'm like, nobody's gonna do like nothing, and I'm

(01:37:04):
that's that's how traumatized I am in hip hop, is
that I'm used to rocking the show, and if an
incident don't happen, I don't even feel like I rocked
the show. Like you know, we're crazy about y'all is
y'all get to see the laughter and that's y'all stabbing.
That's y'all y'all version of Okay. You know, this guy

(01:37:27):
got jumped in the front row. And I remember that day.
That was the day I was like, I was really
jealous of comedians. I was like, there's nothing different from us.
Our grind is the same. You know, you can have
a hype, man, but you gotta go out there by yourself.
And I remember just saying, damn man, these guys got
a really dope life. Like when you make it to
the to the level that you're are that comedy is

(01:37:47):
like you know, um god, I know it's a gift
from God first of all. And people were we're in
an era where is people just want to laugh, you know,
we want to come on and laugh. And it's so
crazy how this is something as just telling jokes. And
I went the other night to go watch Chris Rock
and Dave Chappelle. These guys are in the arena with

(01:38:09):
like twenty people. I'm like, I never thought this comedy
thing would get us to this level. And ready why why?
It was a comedy comedy man comedy, nothing like comedy.
Man comedy, nothing like comedy. And I want you to
finish your story right, but no, no, no, And you
know it's just it's just amazing, yeah, amazing to see

these people coming out and see it. Were not know,
college graduates, We're not doctor said, We're just telling you
jokes from a hundred dollars to show, you know. And
I'm like, damn, this is amazing, you know. And you

(01:39:15):
look at that. Look at the case of comedy. Those guys,
same thing with the Bernie mcnam guys was doing, are
in us, you know, and it's a great feeling to
see how much it's just it's just that ever we're in,
it's so bad, and we lose so many lives, you know.
People want to come out of lab and have people
want to have a good time. Man, all that violence ship.

(01:39:35):
Did you see how much Beyonce tickets is? Yeah, beyont
the tickets very expensive. I'm like, god, damn, you're working
for us after the show months talking. I don't know.
I don't know, but I just know I've seen I'm
on Twitter and I see people online and playing it,
and I see all of jay Z's boys saying we
worked for jay Z. But you know what, at the
end of the day, they can complain on the one

(01:39:57):
they're gonna buy them tickets Beyonce, you know, the tickets.
It's just that simple. You know, if you want to
see her, you're gonna spend that money, you know. And hey,
she's been putting in work for a very long time,
you know. I mean, my tickets are not that cheap.
But I'm like, I've been putting in work for a while,
you know. And you gotta pay for quality that period, right,

(01:40:18):
pay for quality right here, for quality, I'm about going
to stay to take a shot for that. How did
you get here? Yeah? Come on, we got people so
how loud you gotta try to get me drunk. I'm
gonna still be my sid. You're trying to make me
start snitching a niggas. No, it was one famous moment

(01:40:39):
right where I always question like the comedic stance, right, Um,
you know, I always you know, a lot of comedians
is my friends, people I speak to, and there's always
something like you know, when when when not eleven happens
or something like that. Um, it's your job to actually
find something funniest out of that, right it is. But

(01:41:01):
when it comes to person who it's like, you know, Um,
one thing that I always like question was the time
with Kevin Hart, right, we reallyave Kevin Hart was really
in love. He really loves this woman, and we all
know that whatever happened, but you had made jokes at
that very time. Do you regret that? No, I don't know.
I'm a comedian man, I don't even get a motherfucking thing. No,

(01:41:24):
it was you know. I didn't make fun of him
cheating because you know, nobody's perfect. I mean, we were
sucked up. I'm sure you have. You know what I'm saying.
What told me in this mother let me mistake. You

(01:41:48):
made mistakes, mistakes, I'm going hold to night. You know
I didn't make fun of him cheating. I make fun
of how he cheating, how he I made fun of
how I felt like he snitched on himself because at
that time when he talked about it, nobody didn't know yet.

(01:42:08):
I'm like, nigga, nobody knows, don't say nothing, and he
kind of like, you know, when a camera and talked
about what happened prior. You know what I mean, I'm
not snitching on I feel like so what I said
was to cap, you're snitching on yourself, my n nobody knows.
Shut up? You know what I mean? Because I'm not
switching myself. Man, I'm the type of nigger my girl
would catch me in the baby with dick and another bitch.

(01:42:29):
I'm like that, it's not my dick. Another thing. You
got broken here and put his dick in his bach
mother and used my face, you know. But he was
in advance. I felt like he was an advanced snitching
on himself. So that's what I'm and I and I
go hard in the pain. You know. I don't take
no break with nobody. You know what I'm saying. So

(01:42:49):
you funk up gonna get it too? No, no, because
you know at times, but because you know, sometimes we
don't think, I mean, don't get it wrong. I'm sure
the only problem Kevin Help had a problem with was
I just did it too many times. You know, I
can because everybody too soon? I think that's that's timing.
That's another thing with your comedians, is y'all say too soon?

(01:43:10):
Is it too soon? You think that it was too
soon to what? Like? Yeah, you know they had this
too soon thing, you know, I meanbe with certain things
like death is way too soon, you know, I mean
it would just if you watched the video of him
telling on himself. It was just funny to me, you
know what I mean. I'm a comedian. You know I
can't wit to you, like as an outside I'm looking

(01:43:33):
in yeah, and as a person that's in love that
don't want to lose. Kind of felt him. And then
I looked at you and I was like, damn, he's
funny though, so I had to laugh and then't be
like then he was. Don't get wrong. The Nigga is
my homie, you know what I mean. But I'm a comedian.
First he felt yeah, yeah, he felt like you know, yeah, yeah,

(01:43:55):
but when we know it was doing the era, you know,
I do that whole thing, Like I said, I do
Black Friday, where every time niggaun up every week he
got lit up, and you know, I can't discriminate against
my homies and my non homies. I didn't know Lebron James,
but you know he funked about lit him up. You know,
I'm lit everybody up, you know what I mean. And
I had to just he was next on the list,

(01:44:17):
my niga, and that's what I do, James, you lit up.
I don't know with the heirline or yeah, they won't
with the hairline. The headlines in his back pocket and
he came me join the army. They like salut, He
like this, you're very bad trying and Lebron is my nigga.

(01:44:40):
So because you know, when I lit them up, I
lit up the whole um. It was the Olympic team
of the US because I'm er that particular year they
beat the ship out of Nigeria like nineties, like thirty
something crazy and I'm like, then it didn't barrass my
niggas to the whole world. I got mad and not
lit all them up, from sucking Lebron to Kobe as

(01:45:04):
a Kobe, you know, to like fucking um Camello. That
all got it because it embarrassed my continent. Yes, I'm
I'm a bitious fight online, but online of the ship.
The thing about it, you know, after I did the
whole thing, I saw Kevin person I run the other way.
I'm like, nig I gotta get back online. You ever
think you did a joke that went too far? Besides

(01:45:27):
cavin it, I mean I'm trying to you know, I
gotta I gotta go and look at what I've done.
You know, you know, we all in the new in
the era of like you know where you have to
be like sensitive about you can't make no certain jokes
or certain things. And I go, I was watching some
ship that I did some skit that I did on
my Black Friday show. I did one thing on like

(01:45:50):
the first Gate President, and my god, I was really
and that she was over ten years ago. I'm like,
my god, if me didn't get ahold of this ship,
you know what's crazy? Yet it still you can't it
once they hit the line, you can't get it. But
I made some jokes. I'm watching will Fire and Zach

They got a show called I mean, they got a
movie called The Campaign. As soon as I soon as

they throw out the F bomb like that, it's like,
you're I was like, and they kept going, it's like,
you're like, And then I was like, and they just
kept going, and I'm like, Okay, they didn't even they
know that this is aware of it's gonna offend somebody.

(01:46:54):
They didn't go in and and we that did you
ever transfer your comedy, edit your comedy because of the
l g b Q We mean you mean from what
you've done in the past recently. No, because you know,
my my jokes, my thing with jokes. If I'm wound
make an lgbt Q joke, I would have made sure

(01:47:16):
that they'll laughing at it. I comedy the end of
the day. You want to make people have to have
a good time. So if they're not laughing at it,
I don't feel like my mission is accomplished. I want
everybody to laugh. So my gage jokes are fun jokes.
There's nothing like really as salted and you know, degraded.
My ship is with I have gay plor by should

thought about that. I was just like, oh, ship, I
was like, let's think about it. We're the same person
whether our lady is there are around, but it's a
certain thing that you just say you don't want to
put her through, Like you might not go to the
fucking hood club because you know that you you you

(01:52:21):
gotta walk out to the bathroom when it stop, to
go to the battroom, so you're conscious of that definitely.
And I was. I was just sitting back and I
was just like, yo, and I don't think I've been
in trouble sense, let's make no I mean, especially what
the error we are in. Man, you gotta be careful.
Is the most dangerous game there is, Like someone will

(01:52:44):
try to just get you just because who you are.
You have to have a witness, man, have a bitch,
I'm trying to give me some pusses. You gotta me
and my grand motherfucker is a team effort, that's right, teamwork.
Let drink to that. Let's drink and clap of that.
God damn got that you want someone's you want someone's dick.

(01:53:07):
You got got some pussy to mother. But I got
a question for you that So, how do you feel
about marriage? Just talking about marriage? You know, I've been
married before, and before was but I did at a
very young age, you know, I was like three. No

(01:53:30):
man is ready to get married, and twenty three years
you don't even know what you want. He's still a
child to me, you know what I mean. And I
didn't and it didn't last the last a couple of years,
you know, And that was that um. But you know,
at the end of the day, I think you know,
to be great, you need that powerful person next to you. Regardless, man,

(01:53:53):
you need that great It doesn't mean you need a
great person next to you. Don't need to. I haven't
be married you. I didn't talking. I'm not telling him
right there. You know why that is too. You don't
have to be you know, because here's the thing with marriage.

(01:54:15):
You know, you get married. You know, when you are
just in a relationship and you break up, you easy
to get back together. But when you marry and then
things don't work out, you divorce, what did your so
you get back together again? You know, it's like, you know,
but whatever whatever way you choose, whatever way you choose,
you know, but you need a great well. But every
great man needs that great woman by your side because

(01:54:37):
if you just a loose candy with nobody, you know,
you need somebody, You need a right hand person. That's
that's that woman. I mean, I'm not saying you that
marriage is not for everybody. You don't have to do
it bad. You need you need that price. You need
your vice president. A presidentship without a vice president, you know, right,
first lady, first lady, you need that first lady. First.

(01:55:00):
It's been again, Okay, you don't understand he was saying that. Yeah,
so everybody in the first lady, where they're gonna marry
or not, you need that first lady. You're right here
personally that is smart and intelligent, give you advice, will
help you out, you know. And that's that, you know,
And I have that in my in my lady that
I think we should make some noise for that. Yeah,

(01:55:23):
I agree. So so what's up with what the stand up?
So what you one on one with the crowd and
where are you gonna have to stand up in Ghana
with my special day he's just funny. We just I
just I just had a meeting today about finally doing it.
You know, Um, it's gonna come out soon. I'm can't.

(01:55:43):
You know, I have a lot of things about to happen.
You know, it's like I said, it's time. It's a
great time to finally be black and being especially African.
Is that what time? Shine? He's our time of the shot.
You know, I got lot of things covered out that
I'm not allowed to talk about because you know, you
saw then India Day and you can't talk about it taste. Yeah,

(01:56:04):
I got some And besides that, you know, I'm touring
and you can come and see me live, but I
have I have a TV show coming out. I can't
talk about it yet till it's already when I'll come
here and talk about it, you know. And it's my fans,
my famis want to see me every week. So now
that we'll get a chance to see me every week
on TV, back and talk much about it till you
know it's about to come out. The stand up special too,
of working on that. It's about you know, we're gonna

(01:56:27):
shoot it very soul and I've never done well, so
it's so much to talk about the whole world. We
funny got to see Michael Blacks are doing steaks, so
it's all coming out man. That Besides that, and add
on to that, how much support are you getting because
you know, we talked about the hip hop, We talked

(01:56:47):
about all the artists coming from here and there in
Ghana and gonna go and have a period. Are these
people incorporated in the plan? Oh yeah, man, I mean definitely. Man,
It's like, you know, it just comes we definitely. It's
just some beautiful time to be an African. Um So

(01:57:10):
I know best. I mean, I've been proud of my
whole life. I defended myself every day when kids made
fun of this and made fun of me. And and
now with an era where everybody's looking for identity, everybody
wanta know where they're from down you know, black or
like want to be African. Now when I came, they
didn't want to be. It's all about you know, at
the barge and baby here and growing up with baby here,

(01:57:32):
you know. And now it's like now we're looking for
where we're from because then no, now that this is
not really their land, everybody wonder where they come from,
you know, what I'm saying, it's a great time to
be African. The whole continent has my back, you know,
and they think about it. When I built the school,
I wasn't thinking about that. I was just trying to
help the kids in my village. But the thing about

(01:57:53):
my continent, it is so hard when people said they're
gonna do something for them to do it. I talked
about it, I thought about it, and I did it.
And now they're like, Mike, we're so proud of you.
So I got the whole continent behind my back, you know. Um,
but I can do this alone. You know. I wanted
my whole goal out. I think education is the key

(01:58:13):
to everything. You know, we talked about this or Dad,
I'm like, stalks with education. Let's teach these kids how
do you become great? You know? And that's why I
started a nonprofit, the Michael Blacks and Foundation, you know.
And the thing about the school that I built. The
school is my personal build. Like I don't want nothing.
I'm gonna take a trash on my income and make

(01:58:33):
sure my teachers. My principle because when I put the school,
support from the government out there not no support. But
it's okay. And it's okay, this is something that I
wouldn't do on my own. I'm not gonna you know,
because I just talked I could build a school. I
didn't know how to get to teach us for these niggas,
you know what I mean. So I'm like, these kids
are gonna be that class, do the own thing, playing

(01:58:54):
high go seek and throwing dice. I gotta get teachers ahead,
you know. But this is like you know, this is
like I said, this is my personal I think that
I would do for these kids. So to do, boy,
you gotta help, you know. Anybody who helps is a
Michael Blackston Foundation. Go on on the website if you
because whatever I make from that, I'm a built boy schools.
Then what I built is my personal thing. I don't

(01:59:16):
need to help with that, you know what I mean.
Let's do bore. There's so many villagers out there and
these kids are all walking around with no education. It's funny.
Michael Blackson Foundation dot org. That's a website, Michael. You
know what's funny. I had an idea of what you
should do, Like once or twice a month, you should
have like t I come but him dressed like substitute teacher,

(01:59:40):
and then and then have Dave Chapelle dress like a
teacher and like, you know, so on and so on,
like a great idea. And then they teaching the class
and the kids is like, who cares that from America?
And then afterwards they take the ship off and they're like, yeah, exactly,
Dave Chapelle, that's a great idea because I'm actually taking

(02:00:01):
I'm taking trips to Ghana every two months where I'm
inviting Americans. So if you want to know much about it,
just email this email Blackson for Africa and Gmail. Did
you go with Dave Chappelle when he went? But he
was at the same time? How he killed at my house?
We hug out, we partied together. He loved my country.
You know, some shout out to Dave. Dave had a
great time in Ghana. Um a chance to rapper. They

(02:00:23):
all came to my house. You know, Jesse Collins, the producer,
all he produced, all these they all came to my
careb Sorry to cut you off. A chance to wrapper
receives some criticism because they said that this was an
anti LGBT concert. Did you hear that white? I didn't
hear that white when you get that from what happened
from Tabloid's Twitter anti it was. But you know, don't

(02:00:50):
get it wrong. Some part of Africa for some reason.
You know, I'm not sure it's like illegal. It's a ship,
that's what. That's what make you can google that up
making it up in Africa or Ghana. Well, no, that's
parts of Africa. It's the parts of the world too,
it is. It's somewhere in the Middle East. Tow is illegal.
If you go, if you have caught with a dick

(02:01:11):
in your mouth, you're gonna jail. But you know, put
the dick down, put your hands up away, get the
dick out your mouth right now, tick the tack, the
balls out of your face. Money you're going. That's what
make America great. You could be whatever you want to be.
And you know, I'm not google up the country. There

(02:01:33):
are some country ways illegal. But you know what I mean,
I love everybody man, whatever you are, come as you are.
I don't know nothing much about the whole chance of wrapper. Then.
I'm not sure where that came from. But it was
a great concert. I was dead, you know, it was
all night long. You know, I even got on stage
right after Dave. Dave got on stage and I got
on stage and just and it was right when I
just built the schools. I got on stage and I'm

(02:01:54):
like this big hero and the nigga's like Mike run
for president. And I saw all the other presidents they
all have Oh hey, I'm like, I'm good. Listen, man,
you're gonna be the only one with jay z braids.
We got your back, We got your back. I'm a
mooda ga for six months just to vote for you.
What'd you that? It's so funny? Yeah, you google? That's illegal?

(02:02:15):
It is illegal. Wow. Yeah, that brings me to my
next question, because you just mentioned the president. I got
something Meek Mills shooting a video and then you believe
it's cause did you believe? You? Did you believe for

(02:02:36):
people who don't know stop my white House, you guys.
White house you believe is the White House? He apologized
for that. Well, you know, Africa, it's all about we respect. No, no, no,
it's not. It's you know. The thing you know is
the great thing about Africa we respect whatever religion. It

(02:02:58):
had n't do a religion, nothing to do with the bad.
The Christians respected Muslims and we all want people. You know,
there's no discrimination, respect everybody's relationships they had. Don't do
it nothing, It just it's just how you know, you
go to the White House and take a ship in
the in the bathroom or you could do whatever you
want to do. But Africa, you know, our White House
a little bit more different than you know, a lot

(02:03:20):
of things are not a lot of happen And I
don't know how it happened. I mean, I don't know.
I think you shot a music video and I'm sure,
well I'm almost certain video. No, no, no, I think
what happened was oh don't nose that. No no, I mean,
I'm sorry, I don't know. I wasn't there, I think,

(02:03:41):
I mean, and I could find out what happened. I
think what happened was, you know, he went in there
and took some pictures, a couple of videos and then
they don't put the music in it. That's probably where
I don't know how it happened. But you know, um
Ghana is a very strict country. You know, you certain
used to know allow of like capture in the White

(02:04:02):
House or did jubilee, you know what I mean? And
I think that's that's what I was all about. I
don't really know all the exact details. I wasn't there,
you know, but I know the White House like the
White Boys on January Sex. Now, he probably went to
his homies and they shot a couple of videos in
there and then they don't turn this into a music video.
You know how you're doing America, y'all shoot ship later?

(02:04:22):
What about this right here could be a movie? I
have no idea. Next you didn't got getting paycheck Michael
Blacks in the movie called the Nordy Movie. That's what
happened with the video. You know he was in there
doing something next to you know, it's the whole music video.
Because but he didn't mean any home. I don't think
he just felt like he's an Africa. This is his

(02:04:43):
home for him. You know, he could free to do whatever.
And trust me, Africa is a definition of freedom. We
are very gone up. Let me tell you something. You
go out, go to the club, You're gonna go home
at nighttime in America, you might not make it a
home after you go to the club. Gotta waffle house.
We're going to watch a house. We have a food
foo house. But yeah, peaceful, nothing happens to you. You're

(02:05:11):
going to out and you're making home at night. There's
no violet. Nobody gets killed at the club. There's no shootout,
there's no nothing, nothing happened. If you drop your phone
a brooke, niggers gonna take your phone if you have phone. Okay,
I'm the nigger that took a pune the ship was

(02:05:32):
hanging out. I'm like, you know, tell his followers and
follow me, my nigga. No man, I'm saying besides that,
nothing happens peaceful. It's definition of freedom, just like Haiti
everywhere else or I mean Dominican public and the constable.
Your one of the niggas wants some fucking money five
dollars here and there at the end of the day.
Nobody's gonna shoot. You're gonna watch because Andrew Takes said that,

(02:05:55):
and he's now in human trafficking. He said that he
pays off the cops in Romania. They didn't like that,
and now he's in jail for human trafficking. They put
him in jail for human trafficking. I didn't know that,
but and sounds familiar. I don't know who is he? Right,
he's the Instagram guy he's the TikTok guy. Yeah he

(02:06:17):
from is he from Romania? I'd be thinking from Romanian.
Here's the were the third world countries. People are underpaid
and you know you gotta understand that. You know, hey,
you and then the David co pull you over for speeding.
You'd rather get a nigger ten dollars or you'd rather
go to court exactly, motherfucker ticket ten dollars. Keep it moving.
But you got your problems. That's what made my continent great.

(02:06:43):
The cop pull you over, give him you got ten dollars.
Help me? It works? Okay, all right, I've never been
to Africa pro sec no country in Africa actually, but
you know what Liberty City that she's like Africa Money.

(02:07:04):
You've been there, You've been there, You've been there. African Carol,
Carol Mark, Carol Mark, little Haiti is I forgot So
if you wash to recommend you know, we heard Zimbabwe.
He was to recommend a person go on vacation. I

(02:07:29):
gotta go with where I know where I've been, Well,
you know which is Ghana. You know I'm all my
peace and love and Ghana will give you that piece
of piece of mind. You know, keep your phone attached
to you keep you there, w there, there's a marry
out there. There's even more private hotels that like you

(02:07:49):
know then I you know, like must people said Kepiskey.
And then one of my good friends Buddy owns the
hotel called the Number one Hotel. That's a nice hotel,
one number one. Or you could like you could just
get an N, B and B. It's a lot of
nice homes out there to ramp. You have a ghana
is a peaceful you could turn up all night party,

(02:08:10):
eat good food, eat with your hands, I mean, and
then it's a great place and it's not a tourist
stuff to do, like the slave castle. Go fund that
way how your people got hit. I don't want to go.
It's it's we're not to go to tourists. I don't
want to, but you know, just go and experience. Go

(02:08:30):
know what your people went through that way? That way
you appreciate everything that you have now like that, because
I've seen you and your lady go through that. What's
that Dave Chappelle, Yeah, he didn't went there. He went
through that. And then there's a guy that'm speaking, but
he had no accent. He was like this is where
our brothers came through. And I was just like, oh,

(02:08:52):
it was just like yeah, it's it's tough, but going
to experience that anyway, just for the hell of it,
you know. So yeah, go to the go to Ghana's peaceful.
Don't get you know, they might touch about Nigeria here did,
but Nigeria also turned up. But that's the most scammers
in the world come from there, right Why I call
them smart people? Hut, don't you goddamn Africa you're the

(02:09:16):
dumbas and getting your money, motherfucker. If a Nigga email,
you'll tell he's a prince that you want to put
a hunter thousand on your account and you got said, no, okay,
you're the dumb as. I want the hun grand in
your pocket. They come up with this same because it's Nigeria,
a real wealthy country. I mean, I think all Africa,
all the Africans, but we have so much things, you know,

(02:09:39):
to offer, like Nigeria has oy and Ghana has gold,
you know what I mean, we have a lot, you know.
But at the same time, you know, yeah, America is
a scam. You know, they're just more acceptable scam that
Nigga scammers. A scamera, you know, but I'm don't go
up there. If a nigga email, you just blocked the nigga,

(02:10:01):
don't send the five bands. If you're gonna, he'd tell
his grandfather have twenty billion dollars you want to put
on your account, tell him to put it in your account.
But hold only. The closest thing that I've seen to
Wakanda in real life has been Turs and kick Goes. Okay,

(02:10:22):
tuch is nice where I've actually walked somebody used to
smoke cigarettes and I've actually walked down the block of
beautiful homes and the people that this is you know,
old school. So the people that was going to get
their paper, I kept looking black people. I'm looking black people,
and I was just looking millen or twenty million dollar

(02:10:44):
houses and it was like it was like vibranium to me.
Like I was just sitting there like it's like anywhere blacks.
So the closest thing I ever seen to Wakonda was
Turs and Kick Goes is their neighborhoods in Africa. Nig
the whole Africas will on that because why I come home,
come home? God is what conduct? But U no, no,

(02:11:09):
I mean, it's like the thing about Africa. You know,
it's like mostly rich and poor, you know, and there's
a lot of rich people. It say, it's like West
Palm super rich, super yeah, you know, and and and
and I think that's the only thing we have to
do with Africa is funding way to create a middle class,
because that's what makes America great. The middle class is

(02:11:31):
what keep this country going. See what I'm feeling. So
once we figure out way not to be selfish and
not keep all the money to ourselves, why the rich
keeping himself? Finally with it, I share it. Get that
middle class. The middle class what keep a country going
and will be better than America. You know bad. You
know that's that's that's time to come. It's gonna happen eventually, hopefully,

(02:11:55):
you know, when I become president one day, I'm gonna
try to create a middle class that goes b for me. Y'a. Listen,
I'm gonna go get an apartment in Ghana. I just
want you to get like something like a w type. No, no, no,
I want to buy the place there. I'm gonna you
know what, it's the house in on my block, come
and get it. Home houses I'm a condo guy. You know,

(02:12:17):
I feel you over I got an I'll be thinking
Jason's gonna come out condos. I can always be like
they gotta see you like you know, how is this
is creepy for me? Like the condo come with a
fee money, it's security, right, you're gonna say yes, yes,

(02:12:37):
holy ship, come on a listen. I don't know that
you went back. That's your regular drink. That's my regular drink.
Drink shot take shots were done. But let's go about
dr Max getting kidnapped over there? Is that true? Where

(02:12:58):
do you get kidnap? That's that's what the key o.
That's something are totally different. They all get kidnapped over there. Yeah,
they trying to kick up the banks. Was it at nighttime?
Because you know it might be you try to kick
us up at nighttime, but you're gonna be practicing by know. Um,

(02:13:18):
how about Paris? Paris? You know I was there one time,
you know, when I went to Paris when I had
to addline job and I gotta fly for free. That's
the only time I want to pass. Only all of
your cousins is there. Yeah? I heard that, but you
know what they see Africa. We have a lot of
English speaking countries. Those countries were all colonized by the British.

(02:13:38):
Ghana was a colonize by British, Nigeria, Gambia, and then
you got the French countries that were canonized by the
Friends by Friends, Haiti, then you got out and then
you got like Ivory Coast, you got Sending Goal, you
have Togo, Yeah, Avrid Coast, Togo, um and those are
all French free country speaking speaking countries u um. They

(02:14:01):
ain't even thinking about a country that was like so
now when the slaves were allowed to go back home,
when they were when they were freed, and when somewhere
allowed to go back to Africa, most of them went
to Liberia. Liberians when most of the slaves went to
in Liberia, and the capital of Liberia is Monrovia because

(02:14:23):
the president at that time was Monrovia. That's why they
named the capital after him. Yeah, Monrovia was a president
of the United States when the slaves were allowed to
go back president of the United States. If I'm not mistaken,
it is I'm right, Google that Monrovia Monroe was the
capital and over mean I'm drunk and double check that

(02:14:45):
look as Monroe. Maybe something Monroe County got in Monroe
w the president was Monroe was a president. And that's
why they named the capital of Liberia Monrovia. Because when
the slaves were a lot of go back, they all
went back to Liberia. So Liberria is one of those
countries that has a lot of slaves went back. And

(02:15:07):
Liberria is a place where you see like a light
skinned Liberria and you see your dog skin like the
skin are the natives the other natives? And then light
skin was where the light skin ones were called Conker people.
They were called Kuno people because they had no tribe.
They were from America. Then they were ex slaves and
they didn't have no language and they have no tribe.

(02:15:28):
They call them Conkok people, you know. And and the
reason I know so much about Liberia libraries where I
spend most of my African lives. I know a lot
about Liberia. You know. That's serial little blood Seril that's
right next to live area, not too far, you know.
But every every every country in Africa has something like
Berrian has rubber. You know a lot of rubbers came
from Liberria, like fire stone. A lot of rubber was

(02:15:51):
from Liberia. Ghana was used to be called the Gold Coast.
Ghana has gold, you know, Sera little has diamonds. Nigeria
has oil. You know we have we have so much
resources in our continent. But yeah, yeah, man, everybody new
come home, man, come home music though, But you know

(02:16:13):
what I have. I have a couple of songs. My
first song I did was an afrobeat music called Mutumbo.
Mutombo Supreme much what I called my dick. Oh yeah,
I apologize. You know the kivin Mutumbo was tall and
dark and block all the shots. And I no, no, no, no,
no no. My dick was Mutumbo, tall, big and black

(02:16:38):
and he blocked all the shots. So this song is
called Mutumbo. I actually did with a Nigerian artist in
Nigeria right before COVID. I actually shot this you know.
Um we wrote this song and we shot the music
video in Nigeria back in and then when I came
back to l A, I'm like, oh sh this she was.
She was hot. I'm like, I feel like I wrapp us.

(02:17:00):
I did a song with He's got CAPG the cap gig.
You don't cap G? Yeah, cap G and uh five Mike,
you got to five Mike. Yeah from New York. So
we did a song to guy to call um, I
want you remix. Let's play my verse. The reason why

(02:17:22):
we'll play my verse and uh and the reason why
I want to play my verse because what I've noticed
in America is like the the locker niggas up. Niggas
are going to jail. Rappers are going to jail, and
they are using their lyrics against them. Did you know that? Look?
Look this is my this is my favorite advocate artist,

(02:17:45):

be at the game and I will be flying with
my wings. That will keep Utah for All Star weekend

(02:19:13):
this year. I'm I'm gonna sit this one out. I'm
staying out for the Mermaids. Okay, I'm gonna be honest
with you going I had a great time in Utah.
I bet in Utah because I'm very good friends with
Rudy Gobert and he was with the Utah Jazz at
that time. I went there a few times. Hug Out
Will Heap went to the game. I had a great
time in Utah. First time I went to Utah was

(02:19:34):
going to something called the Impact Convention and it was
in Vegas. It was in Vegas or Reno, Nevada. You
couldn't get there without connecting, So it's crazy. I still there.
I connected. It was definitely it was definitely my come up.
So it's definitely something not right that then I was
so mad because Foxy Brown, Mace uh cameeron and everyone

(02:19:58):
that just jumped off the plane and they just jumped
on the next plane, obviously for six hours in Utah
talking to the motherfucker's with with cowboys just at the airport. Yeah,
just in the airport because I I didn't know about connectors.
I just like, all right, cool, this is the easiest
way to get there. And I felt in love with
Uta all that day. Came alone, was still on the team. Damn. Yeah,

(02:20:19):
like calm a little bad motherfucker. I started talking white
and everything and this was a black polk. Yeah yeah,
So so what's the next for Michael blacks Man? You
did it? We know, we know what we spoke about
the stand up, which we're all waiting for. Yeah, it's
it's on this way. I actually had to zoom right.
We'll talking about that later. Like I said, you know,

(02:20:41):
I can't talk much about it. And get mad at me.
But it stand ups on this way, the TV shows
on this way. I'm touring their countries, you know, just
follow me on. I g at Michael Blacks and for
those who went to a public school, I spell it
for you. It's m I C H A L B
L A c K. So and uh, you know, I think,
like I said, we're the error of being African everything.

(02:21:01):
My Africa is shining right now for my music. Even
like I said, soccer is coming back, you know, so
as soccer is coming back. So you know, I actually
started like my little soccer League of the villages because
you know, we call it soccer, we call it football,
but you know call it soccer, soccer, ball, football. So yeah,

(02:21:30):
so I'm you know, I'm I'm gonna start a management
team where I'm gonna try to discover the hottest football
soccer players in my continent, you know. And also like
Afro beat is men of hottest thing right now, is
you know what I mean? So I'm gonna find it.
I'm I'm putting a team together to put the best
do affrib artists together. So I have a lot of

(02:21:51):
it going on. Man, damn man, let's let's make some
noise for that man. Not a question. You ever met Tims? Yes,
you know what. I actually met her. I named. I
met her briefly at the BT Awards. Was she wanted
award and none? It was at the Hipop It wasn't

(02:22:12):
l a. It was a man one not the hip
hop award. Yeah, it was last and the last BT Awards,
like she wanted tried to identify with you. He's like
that didn't that You gonna tell about Timberlans the shoes

(02:22:33):
but now but shout out to it just Afrobat period time.
You are absolutely correct, But let me just be clear
bringing it back to how we just started this interview.
You saying how you had to come to America and
fit in and you know, you know, even to say
African wasn't good Like even when you was, you know,

(02:22:54):
working for Dominoes, they thought she was a Jamaican king,
African king. For now, for it to go full circle,
for now, it's to be like yo, the number one, um,
what's that ship? Um? Being my wife day um Um.
I don't want no other body. I could't sink that

(02:23:16):
to my wife. If we could just like, I love that.
If I tell you say I love you baby. Yeah
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Is that what it is? Thank you so much for

(02:23:37):
it to go from African booty scratching. Non't know this
is real ship because he know, I don't know if
you know, he know Hollywood, he know the trainer. I
don't know. Alright, cool right, cool bad? But he claims
you but us Okay, so I'll claiming toobod. I just
don't know what, but for it, let me see him,

(02:24:00):
you know, because at the time, again, it was being Jamaican.
Jamaican was the Caribbean thing at the time, and then
you know, slowly but surely even Haitians gravitated towards it.
But Africa was kind of like the lowest of the low.
And we don't know if that was because we was brainwashed,
because the school system made us feel like, I don't
love the motherland. If you love the motherland and you

(02:24:22):
love yourself, so don't love the motherland. So we don't
know if it was from the schools or whatever, but
from it to go from there, from the African booty scratches,
like I kept listening to your interviews and kept going
through and I was like you repeated that so much,
and I was like, damn, I remember me calling my
African friends African boo know, but it was but I

(02:24:49):
followed what I saw what I saw that, and I
was hearing the interviews with you, and I'm like, you
know what, that's crazy and for it to go full
flash because also I'm black and Puerto Rican, right, So
when I remember bringing Puerto Rican or or Latino music
to my black friends and they'd been like this guy,

(02:25:14):
and now they're all up, bad bunny to take a
selfie and take yourself and and vice versa. You know,
I remember doing the same thing with hip hop and
bringing them while they listening to you know, uh Tito
Prinss and uh Manudo. I like, listen to MLP, listen

(02:25:37):
to Gang Stunnards after that, listen the Gang Star, listen
the MLP, and I remember them and now they can't listen.
So this is this is my question for you. Is
you being the product of that people like making fun
of this culture that we're actually from and to see
it go through sixty how does it feel? What was

(02:25:59):
the first? That's a two park question. How does it feel? One?
And then two? What was the first afrobeat record that
you heard. It was like, oh, we're here now. Yeah,
it's the best feeling in the world, man. And then
thinking about it, I knew one day the world would
notice our talent and it will be our time, Like

(02:26:20):
everybody got the time to shine. I think the first one,
you know. And I'm not gonna take all the credit,
but I know for a fact. You know, when I
noticed a song by Divo, it was if so, if
I tell you say, I love you, my buddy, my buddy. Maybe.
So when I heard that song, I started playing it.

(02:26:47):
First off, let's all be quiet and give a rest
in peace, silence, moment of silence, his son that passed
up correct give him everyone about their head and show
that man that loves the pieces son, Vito Son. But yeah,

(02:27:12):
so when I heard a song, I played it in
my car. I go on, I g live and you know,
I mean, I'm probably one of the persons that Babe
afrobeat popular took my black audience. He's with Augeria, He's
like Gilian. So once I heard that, and then Algerian
Prince Son that they was talking about on the scam um,
I don't know. The video is a rich family, his dad.

(02:27:38):
I heard his dad is very rich. I'm not what
he gonna do, but he might be the scamper nigging
from the shot to Vito, you know, very good friend
of mine. He's been to my home, We've talked, we've
hung out, you know, and they all appreciate what I've
done for the culture, you know, because I think I'm
probably one of those guys that babe afrobeat popular. When
I started listening to them, I stop played a bit

(02:28:00):
of my card and I played by the rate. I played,
I g whatever I'm gonna live, I played it, played
it for the past. For Africa, Oh definitely, man. I
always you know, I always never. I always loved and
believe in my country, my continent, and I figure it
is a meta. I never fake. I never try to
change for nobody. You know. I always wrapped my whole continent.

(02:28:21):
And I'm finally we're getting our just do you know
what I mean? It is a flowers, that's right, man.
And I'm just glad and so much talent and my
whole continent and and you know, and now that I
think I came to America and I've made it in
this country, this country there's the hardest thing to do, man,
come to America and make it. It's almost especially come

(02:28:45):
from another country. So my whole continent is looking for
is looking up to me because of that. That's why
I decided us type this management company and showed us
other talent you know that we have, especially in my
continent and across the world as well, you know what
I mean. But yeah, I think the video was probably
the first all this it's song if but you know,
after me going way back to like uh guys like

(02:29:08):
Peace Quas James, you know, I mean, I was more
like go back to the you know, the African guys
that started in you know. But at the end of
the day, Man, it's funnily the world has recognized that
Big Black is great. And it's so crazy because it's
not that it's been recognized. James Brown, Michael Jackson, all

(02:29:30):
of these people are African. But what's so crazy is
it made it in the US, which is where you
make it at. But it's so crazy that it made
it here for so long. But now it's all took
all this time to get back to the motherland. But
you know serious, I'm just serious. I'm talking about we're

(02:29:53):
talking about music as far as this, but the music
is seeing the music going back to the motherland where
the people, people that actually from there are getting the credit.
Meaning as far as time has passed. Okay, people, you
know we're in America, but we were not really from here.
You get where I'm coming from. They you especially I

(02:30:18):
was born man, but we're getting what I'm saying. In
his life. I think your mother said if you go
to hat you know what's so crazy? I got a
mother that everything you said today. My mother started working

(02:30:39):
at seven years old, never went to school the day
in their life. Born nineteen thirty. Wow, still alive with me?
Give it up for that real stop. But guess what
I know my mom if she's born in mother nay

(02:31:00):
two years old? How is she? What is she? She's
gonna be ninety three this year? Wow? But she never
went to school. Teum listen mother new Burger king when
he was just a priss but driving test on a

(02:31:21):
dinosaur again. I like it. I like it when God said,
let that what he said everything is true, and it's
like I like where you know where now? You know?
Like a person like though Tim's you didn't hear that

(02:31:44):
coming from Africa music, that's what so, but we've been
doing it even you you got you not the country
I've been I think you're making I ain't. Back in
the day, I think it a lot of if a
lot of those Africa all this or whoever whatever backgrounded
where connected way, a lot of them were so ashamed

(02:32:06):
because we didn't Africans weren't getting in love right now.
If they would have claimed their continent or that country,
they would have the country behind them. You know, a
lot of people didn't even know what Africans like you
didn't rebobly know why they was Nigerian. Did you you
knew that? Did you know that face? Okay? But like me,
you know, I think if he was that, but he

(02:32:27):
might be like I think if the whole world really
knew while it was Nigerian and it was another guy.
You know. You point I'm making meaning, I don't care
who you are. If you're you're from somewhere true the Motherland,

(02:32:52):
and so you've always been attached that's American, that's American.
But now it's trickled all the way down that people
who are really from the Motherland, they're just as big
as they're getting there, just do. But we've been doing it.
It's been doing it. But that's why I tell you
it's you have to But it's your time. It's your time.

(02:33:13):
When God says your time, there's no stopping it. And
right there is our time. It's the best time to
be Africa. Oh it's God. But right now, yeah, it's
a lot of time, our time to shine. But I'm
gonna be president. Did that's right? Let me see it?
See it? Hey? Man? Is that is that the weak

(02:33:36):
he wrapped up this whole time? Yes, it's called it's
the supreme lead for the supreme leader? Would you be
a dictator if you take over? And I think, I
think to be a leader you have to really care
about the people. You know, Like I go home and

(02:33:57):
I look around him, like I see somebody walking on
the street. I always say, Tom, stuff, guy, where's this
guy going to? When's he does in the daytime? You
have to really care about the people. And that's why
something I feel like I might have this presidential ship
in me, you know what I mean. And I'm like,
you know, because I really care about the people. I
care about their little kids, I care about their dogs,
you know what I mean? And you know, and I

(02:34:23):
think that's important once you start caring and and beneve
or not as much as we talked about America. You know,
America became successful because Americans are givers. You know, they care,
They they do somehow you know, they do somehow care.
I don't care for arsons, you know, but you know,
I think to be a great leader, you gotta give.

(02:34:46):
You gotta be selfless. You gotta care about the people
are on the streets and the people every day, like
you know, you sit down there to watch everybody, like,
where's this guy going, what's he doing? Who's this? And
that's how I feel sometimes. I feel like when I
go home, I'm like I just look at everybody on
the streets and back, where's this guy going to? What
is he? You know, what is he doing for a living?
I'm I'm always worried about people. And I think that's

(02:35:08):
what the true leader is. Man. You care about the
common people and everybody else. And you always you always
don't ever think you're bigger than life. You always you
should always go back and live a common life. I
could go back and live a come of life. I
would go ahead and beat the food food on with
the steak and eat with my hands and hanging the
village and do all of that. You have to feel
the people. And that's what a true leader is. So

(02:35:30):
when you say, like go back to Africa, go to Ghana, right,
I got a friend that's to the right of me,
and I heard him on the phone. Heard him on
the phone one day talking to his friend and he's like, yeah, um,
he said, I did speak to you for a couple
of days. Said yeah, I was hiding out. I didn't
want to get kidnapped as I was going to my
house in Haiti, Like it doesn't sound like a place

(02:35:53):
I wanted to go. It is, So you know what
I did go to head this twice. Um, I did,
like you had a good time. I did like benefits
shows doing a hurricane. I had like two. I'm like,
what the fun I did to the Lord that he
get hurricane you at the worst place the best time.

(02:36:14):
I had a friend that I hatian friend that I
lost doing this second hurricane. You know, I got from
being let rest in peace, you know. But like um,
sometimes and you know it's so tough because his friend
that's trying to go back, he stacked his money up
he did the American Dream and he went back to Haiti.
But what he has to do is before he goes

(02:36:35):
to his house, has to hide out to make sure
the rebels. Actually he has to two and a half
three hours out of the way when it just takes
something that's like two seconds from the airport, just to
make sure round the capital for the prince well and
think towers, just to go to avoid you know what,

(02:36:58):
it's called street smart, motherfucker street smart. He don't wants
to do to survive it just you know, it's just
it's like you have to know what survibe. You know
what it's like. You know, like when you go to
certain cities of America to perform. You know whether you're
going to Detroit, you gotta do you put to check in, right,

(02:37:21):
you puts to check in with the with the real niggas.
All that's started from Africa, man, all that ship started
from We start out checking in, checking it in, baby,
we have to check check we African check in. Okay.

(02:37:43):
I built the school in. I built the school in
the village to make sure up my school and everything's
cool and everything saved the kids on good. Nobody bothers,
nobody you check in with the chiefs. This and hate
how you gotta check in with the chiefs checking with
the chiefs? Nigger me and a chieves our best friend,

(02:38:06):
I'll checked in with the chief. You know. You might
call it extortion. I call it ship checking in. Yeah,
the chief got gonna follow that guy. I went, you know,
before the day before the opening ceremony. You know, I'm like, okay,

(02:38:30):
I got checking with the chief. I drove straight to
the chiefs Palas. You know all the queen mothers around,
you know, had about queen mothers. These are the mother
queen mothers. Yeah, these are the people that runs the cheat,
that runs the village, that particularly village, you know what
I mean. And it's just it's just a matter of
showing respect. You know. I went up there with like

(02:38:50):
five envelopes, you know, throwing a little something break Brad.
It's just, you know, when many people in the village finished,
I just want to know, so we gonna how many
people I broke bread with? Not at all, I mean
the population, you know, But that is a village where

(02:39:10):
I built my school. You know. I also actually started
like my um my own little soccer tournament in the
village like this is my village when my mother was born.
This is where like I want to feel like I'm
gonna me to want to take over this particular village
one day, you know, And hold on, I don't want
I don't. I don't want them to get away from

(02:39:31):
what he was saying. But nigga, if I want four wives,
I want to be a chief nigger. I need this
gonna to verify me and I'm good, but you know
I don't want four wives. My ladies not going for
that ship, you know. But but now it's just matter
just short respect and everything. And make sure that this
thing started back in Africa. Man, all this ship happened
in America with the hood and checking in with niggas.

(02:39:53):
It started in the fucking village. If you want to,
we're gonna go bluss the group, right what who caught them? Chiefs? Motherfucker? Yeah,
you want the chiefs. It's just sorr respect, you know
what I mean? Hey, you, I'm gonna come in and
I want to make some things happen. I wanna make

(02:40:14):
sure we're good. I'm gonna make sure you make sure
my village, my school is protected. To make sure that
you know, everything is good. And that's what it's all about.
It just managed respect to the people that run the
city to run that this no, no, this nigga chief.
My village is actually young nigga probably like early forties,
late thirties. Young. You know, he just became the chief

(02:40:36):
and we clicked right away. We kept cool. You know
what I'm saying. He knew what he was. They got TVs, right, yeah,
they got TVs. Man, this motherfucker like, yeah, yeah, you
gotta nigger. You want to land, you better check on
the chiefs didntgas didn't want to run. You say this. Now,

(02:40:56):
it's a little bit more than that. My village a
little bit more. It's a little bit more than that.
I'm not I mean, I'll probably give it. Maybe I
want to send me. And how do you pick the
people that's to get in your school? Well that was
you know, so my goal was to pick the less
fortunate kids because mine is a school there's gonna be free,

(02:41:20):
even though you know by people that ever I go,
I like the poor. So I had hired hire consultant
to interview the parents and interview and you know, and
we found out, Okay, where do your school, where do
your kids go to school. Last. If you name a
certain school like that's a Catholic school, you have money.
Stop playing. Let's get the less fortunate kids. Let's get

(02:41:44):
the last. You know that My goal was to get
the less fortunate kids that would come to the school
for free. You know what I mean. So, um, the
school is called Michael Blacks and Academy is up and running.
You know. I get a report every day. Um, it
just started in January. So I just actually made my
first payment for the month. You know where I'm me.

(02:42:05):
I provide uniforms for these kids, teachers, lunch books, everything
for them. All they got. The only thing that got
paid for lunch free food, nigger food was that's I
don't want too much message food. We know we're keeping
it light with some jelly rise and then light ship.

(02:42:26):
You know what I'm saying. But I told my kids
the only thing they have to pay for is pay
attention to the teachers. The ship. I'm taking a shot
for that. Anything that's worked, we do a little shots.
Can I ask you how the fun I keep being shots?
Nobody bringing this ship here? This ship just appears. Are

(02:42:50):
you into foodoo? Motherfucker? Let me just tell you something bro. No. Yeah,
Buddha comes from Africa. Whodo comes from Africa. That's exactly
where it comes from. The origin and all that. But
you know what it's I don't believe in it. I
don't believe. That's my opinion. With FOODO. Okay, and long good.

(02:43:11):
Like you know I was, I was raised godly. I
fear God. I know God personally and my thing. As
long as you believe in your God. But at the
same time, don't go to people wrong. People put FOODO
on you if you do something wrong. You know what
I mean. When you do something, you do something wrong.
Some people like me. Let me tell you something. I've

(02:43:33):
had the same phone number since nine. I'm not running
from nobody. I don't owe nobody no money. You know
what I mean. And if you call me, I don't know,
you think I push motherfucker text me? Who is this?
I have no reason to hide. I don't. I've never
done nobody wrong, thank God. You know what I mean.

(02:43:53):
I don't. It's just that's just me period. So long
as you don't do nobody wrong, nothing nothing should bother
you do not. You believe in God and you like
you want to nobody live to go wrong. You're living free.
They might do something. It's just a fucking haters. And
that's it because Mike is I don't do nothing wrong
to know about people. When good people be good, I

(02:44:15):
might roast you online. That's it, guys. Like a mistake
with words the landmaker were mistake with us? Is that
Beijing and the curls that Juicus and berries, the actual
Juicus and berries. This is coming to American money, guys,

(02:44:36):
and they got no heads. Look at its hand like
a buster of condom. Look at you guys that when
it came, I'm done waiting for you got look like
justin Timber River like this, look the rock if he

(02:44:58):
was the stone. But you know I love it. Thicks glasses, Jesus,
come and tell me right there on the spine, keep going.
We got back there like brought Molly with a concussion.

(02:45:28):
I like all your up online. Let me tell you
something that's something I was studying because I study all
your material. But it's something that was really really special
about you on wilding Out and it was the improv.
And to me, comedians is great when they could sit
down and write their material. But if you can't be

(02:45:50):
like like Dad, and it was. I think you called
DC Young Fly a thug and a nerd at the
same time. I fell this fuck out, I said, and
you got talking the nerve you're gonna rob me or
email me? So so how how is that? Because one
of my favorite shows it was called Curb Your Enthusiasm

(02:46:16):
and what they say about Curby enthusiasms, you give you
a basic of it and you have to improv. To me,
that's as a natural talent, you know what. That's why
most great comedians, Uh, it's a gift from God. You know.
You could try to practice to be a comedian, you know,
but when you got to give from God naturally, there's

(02:46:36):
no there's no turning back, there's nothing. You know. It's
a natural gift. And I think that's what I have.
I think God give me this gift and I just
it just comes naturally. Now, Michael, you know who was
like that? Marlon Ways? Remember one you can just Way
and we we we every time we interview them, are

(02:46:59):
a c broke Like it was just something like just
just up, yes, because we know we got the African mother.
But let me just say you something, bro Um, I
really appreciate you. I really deserve I think you deserve
your flowers. What you're doing is unpresidented. I don't know

(02:47:23):
no other African comedian that could come hang with the Africans,
hang with the quote unquote Americans quote unquote the white
people quote unquote, and be and everyone. It's like you
the Bob Molly a comedy. What I'm saying everybody, what
I mean by that is, for some reason, if you

(02:47:45):
play Bob Molly in any crowd, no one will ever
be offended. And you're like that kind of guy like you,
even you push race, but you push you to the
to the to the to the extent where you don't
offend somebody. But you're pointing out the fact that's funny
about that, right, Definitely, you know what I mean. And
I wanted to pick that up. I wanted to pick

(02:48:06):
you up, period, give you your flowers like we did,
and tell you face to face, man and man, how
much we appreciate you. And you know this because um
you are you are staple, you all icon And it
was something that I wanted to tell Dave Chappelle, um

(02:48:27):
weeks after uh he had the attack happened on him
and men I was actually did when it happened let's
let me say my little partner, let's get to that. So,
um So, what I told Dave at the time, David
was like, you know, I don't feel like because remember
Matt shootings had happened right after and I was and
they was like, you know, I don't want to, you know,

(02:48:47):
because we're celebrating on drink Champs. He was like, so
I don't want to kind of celebrate that why this
is happening. And I was like, Dave, You're right, But
I was like, if we based it upon that, will
never drop the episode because this is a mass shooting
every fucking So I'm saying to what I say to you, Dave,
I'm gonna say it to you is during the pandemic

(02:49:12):
and during life, we need to laugh. I'm give a
funk how serious this person is. So I can't do this.
I can't look at the joke and not eleven. But
and I'm not saying that eleven is a joke. Let
me just be clear. But we salute people like yall
who can make us laugh through that. You understand what

(02:49:33):
I'm saying, Like we all live the most blessed person here.
You could look at the most richest person here hope. So,
but if it's not, if it's not m we all
need to laugh. Like the most serious person in the

(02:49:53):
world is probably the most boringest person in the world.
Like I need to laugh. I sincerely believe that's why,
Like me and my wife is still together to this day.
It's like when I'm just alone with me and her
and she'll do something funny like jump out of bed
and I'm just like, you almost bust your ass now,
so you know what I mean, and just laugh at her.

(02:50:15):
And I feel like that's I feel like comedy is
the savior for the world. So not only you, but
especially to you, I want to pick up because during
that pandemic, you know, um you guys coming online and
just roasting each other and just getting on it meant
a lot. And uh, moving forward, I don't want comedians

(02:50:41):
to dumb their thing down. Yeah, younger, I was never dumb,
damn for nobody, you know. And like I said, you know,
America has to come and set me for who I am.
And if I think it finally, are so everything that
you hope for Mike to happen. For Mike, it's funny
about to happen because they realized that Mike is not
gonna change for no fucking body. Yeah, but what hold on?

(02:51:07):
And I'm in there with this, Okay, how many shots
I took to by the way, look I took more
than you. She gave you a new cup, the same
two cups. Oh yeah, yeah, that's how I gotta determine
how how how much you had is what I had? Yeah?

(02:51:28):
How much of? Yeah? Yeah, you probably this means I
got Britty Spears. Give me the same fucking cup. Pretty spears,
whoever she is kept coming back here. But let me
ask you, we always asked you for this. I've never
made princes of Michael Jackson. Okay, I met, I didn't meet.

(02:51:51):
I saw Michael Jackson on two occasions. Okay, first occasion
was at the BT. It was thatybody got to see
him before I was there at the show. Take on
to Michael Jackson. So I'm pretty cool with Teddy Riley.
You know, Teddy Riley did a lot of songs with
Michael Jackson, and I was and I had a buddy
named link Brand who was even more cooler with Teddy.

(02:52:13):
And at that moment, Teddy was in a studio with
Michael Jackson. This is UM. I don't know what year.
This was definitely before he died. It wasn't after he
died again, hopefully that means I'm dead. But it was
in the studio. Teddy was doing UM producing something with

(02:52:35):
Michael Jackson, and I remember sitting in the way in
the area right and then Michael Jackson was in the studio.
So now, for some reason, Michael Jackson did not like
to be seen the well not he had a mask on.
He's just like, let's say, this is a way in
the area. Okay, this is a studio, this is a bathroom.

(02:52:58):
When Michael Jackson went to the bathroom from the studio,
there's two niggers that had a big board that followed him.
So people in the area, I want to look at him. Yeah,
and that's why I peeped him. So that was a
that was a second no. No, I mean I was like,
pee my o right there because his curls was coming out.

(02:53:18):
He had the baby hair and everything. So that's that's
that's a clothes I ever got to beat Michael Jackson.
Some nigger would passed. Some walked back with a board
with two guys holding the board, so you don't look
at him. I'm like, okay, I sell him and sorry
about that? By bad? And then how about Prince never
met friends? Um, Prince just I just I would thing

(02:53:39):
about it. I went to almost every BT Awards and
I saw Points perform and one of the awards. That's it.
That's it. It ass out. Now his as wasn't out,
he had they were both covered. No ass cheeks out?
Is it? You're gonna act like his ring wasn't playlist?

(02:54:08):
My playlist is so bad for man. By the way,
why do you still got a ring tone? It's not
an It wasn't ring. I love my African music. Man,

(02:54:34):
you got a ring ring tone? Nigger? I'm thinking, what
the toes? Just say? You gotta have to keep the
ring tones open. I'm the only Ni guy they're gonna
have a real ring said, you're that important? No man?

(02:54:56):
For real? Man, Now, what is the nationality of your lady?
Uh right, she's Cambodian. I smoke that weed. Said that
I smoke Cambodian weed. That's weed. I swear to god,
you know that was a real place. Like until you
just said that. Just then me up because because Nia

(02:55:16):
come see me, don't just that Cambodian. That was like,
that sounds good. I never really kind of knew. I'm
so sorry. It's crazy that near Philippines. You gotta be right, yeah,
I think it is right next to what country is
next to you world Vietnama? All right, I was I

(02:55:38):
was close in my my vision. But you guys had
a war with what country was that? Cambodia. I'm saying,
who you when you had to eat becoming a sight.
It's Cambodians. Cambodian for real. It's like a civil war. Oh,
I didn't thing that happened a lot in the continent.

(02:56:03):
It's been a lot of civil wars. Like Nigga's always
fighting each other. We're not gonna fight, real, bitch. You
guys don't fight other countries. They fight each other. But
then that's one thing I could say about Ghana. Ghana
has never had a civil war. Almost every other country
in Africa has had a civil war where a certain
tribe fighting another tribe, or the west side fight the
east side. You know, Beghana has never had a civil war.

(02:56:25):
What is it? I don't know much about that. I
know Nigeria back in the day that evil people fought
evil for the EuroBOSS or whatever. So evil was the
East and then for the Yoba. Liberria there's a civil
war that destroyed half of the country from no. Liberria
is like where the slaves went back to when they

(02:56:46):
were a lot of be free. There was a big
civil war and then you got out. Then Joseph Coney
was from like was that you was that Libya? You're
gonna cony Coney. I still don't got my Coney shirts. Yeah,
I paid for the you know, so I did a movie.
I did my own independent movie, and I'm gonna redo

(02:57:06):
this movie. It was it was called Coney Montana. Oh,
Coney Montana. So I played, Uh, you've got that right.
So a lot of a lot of these countries that
were always like civil wars, it's in their own country.
And you were a real thug, fight another motherfucker. Don't
fight the niggers. I'm fighting on who was trying to

(02:57:27):
be like Coney a little bit Chapel for real, because
I remember Coney was was was getting doing interviews and
then l Chapo of course of Sean Penn and the
chick Chopo did the interview like Coney and got caught.
Take some shot from me being scientific. That was scientific
right there. That was scientific, even though it made no

(02:57:49):
sense at all. I just needed me to take a shot. Yeah,
how does civil war work? Yeah, and you know we
didn't wait to. I just wanted it's just like works
work in Jamaica disagreement. Hold On is in the disagreement
and Jamaica the bloods and it's Dominicans and the Democrats

(02:58:11):
and political Democrats and Republicans and Jamaica. You know that
the bloods and Crypts are Democrats and Republicans and Jamaica.
That's a fact. And then be each other and they'd
be in the government support go ahead, blood, go ahead.
Well the question was that's a more military when he's

(02:58:31):
talking about like it's not going now, but it's over there,
it's not like civil war. It's pretty much. Yeah, it's
it's it has sometimes its tribes versus tribe or you
know the certain part for a certain part. I think
with Nigeria, you know, I was it was like um,
the East versus the West, and the East wanted to

(02:58:53):
be their own country and the West was not. The
West was not allowed to have that ship happened, and
that's called be up fro out war, you know that
was like um and then Liberrier. You know, it was
more like the conquer I want to say, the natives
against the conquer. The conquer were like the ones like
cam came back and then the natives. Right, So it's

(02:59:16):
always different things, but it's always always it's in the country.
Not necessarily it's something it could be. Sometimes it is
a civilian. It could be the civilian, but that's a military.
It's so many different because back in the day military
means back in the day, back in the day in Africa,

(02:59:40):
in most countries, like let's say, before they came up
with these now they have a four years or six
years president where you get to like term prior to term,
these niggas being off as long as it was twenty
years and then and then all of a sudden, the
military like this nigga is en up with all the money.
He's getting fat because Africa, Africa, you're faster, sign it's good. Africa,

(03:00:05):
you're fat, it means you're getting rich. In America, when
your fat, it means you're obese, you're on welfare, you ugly.
In Africa is totally different. So when Africa, when you're
getting fati I didn't. They are getting rich and get
all the money. And then if I'm whoever knocked the
niggas off, whoever knocking off take over. So things have changed.

(03:00:25):
Now you know now that almost every country he has
like a four year term. I know, like Barrier has
a six year term. So now you know, nobody stays
there longer than four or five year unless you vote
the nigger in. I was telling him about, you know,
back in the day, back in the day in Africa,
you know a lot of time when the nigga become president,

(03:00:46):
he's a president almost as longer as he want to be.
And then people start noticing this nigga is getting fat. Africa,
fat is good. It means you're richie eating all the food,
you know. I mean because when I kept the record,
I every fat person was rich. I used to be.
I used to be in level opause. She lost weight
after this bitch losing her money, you know. But like

(03:01:15):
in in Africa, fat is rich. And and when the
niggas noticed that you're getting fat and eat a bottom money,
you got all the money. You're getting successful and we
are poor. Mother military, they're gonna get mad and bust
you in the head and then he takes over you,
you take over, you put somebody else in there. That's
the same. It's in the country. That's a sample on

(03:01:37):
you know America had Yeah, some simple ones right like
we're really American? Were just frying's just were just here
killing off the land. We don't really want to know
American history. We know, Christopher, I don't want anywhere, man. So, um,

(03:01:59):
what's your favorite part or if you have to choose,
will it be making movies or performing on stage? Um,
it's definitely performing on stage. Man. This is the gift
that God gave me, the go on stage and make
fun of things and everything that's happening, and make fun
of people. You know, that's just a natural gift. You know,
their movies and television those are all like an extra

(03:02:21):
bonus that comes with it. That's why when people attack
me like Mike, you know, if you stayed this African,
they ain't gonna be top cast my funk. That stand
up is my thing. I'm not gonna be fake. I'm
not you know, I'm gonna stick with this is me,
you know me, and they're gonna have to set me
for what I am, just like they eventually accept that
burning mac and give them they got a show to

(03:02:41):
get my show that goes with what he is, you
know what I mean? And that it was scared of
the mother setting the motherfucker's and you're gonna have a
mother sucker had a mother sucker up, he's probably this
is probably. I'm so sorry. I gotta get you one
more many ship you man, listen, man, damn wilds minds

(03:03:02):
like this, and it's like they're looking out for you.
They're looking out for you. You build a school in Africa? Yes,
I did be a school, a whole school. They're good.
How many how many black who at school? Shot? And
you're gonna have a school. Yeah, I think let's do
school school public got to school, to school and who
else we go to school? That's it, Lebron James out

(03:03:23):
of school only only only real rich niggers. Let's make
the noise. God, let's make I ain't get enough money
to get school school. P Diddy and Oprah come on,
man for you to add me to that list. It's amazing.
I'm gonna open a too on two basketball courts somewhere

(03:03:45):
community somewhere in Sherwood. Yeah, yeah, in between Gween's rich
you know what. It is a good feeling of doing
this and giving back to my people, because you know,
I'm hoping that every other entertainer, you know, regardless of
where you're from, whether you're from the Hood and fucking

(03:04:08):
Liberty City or you from North Philly, you're from the Bronx,
you're from Southeast d C. You're from Oakland, Compton, wherever
state you're from, and you make it in life. Don't
forget where you came from. Goddam, go back and get back,
going back and get back. And I promise this is

(03:04:30):
the last shot we snug this in. This is the
last shot, I promise. I hope you on your lovely FI.
I tell you, right, did you think about it when
I drink a lot like this? I started, She's gonna
make me. You're gonna makee me? Either ask you your
game ship, motherfucker? Yes, sir, that was my last question.
Do you ask? But obviously we don't have any you know,
I stopped eating asks. Come on building schools, my nigga. Right.

(03:05:03):
The moral of the story is, once you start building schools,
you stop me. That Drink Champs is a Drink Champs
