Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I just told I guess as you all see,
I ain't here. I'm about to do a quick intro
on this guy, and let me tell you, new Face.
The reason that I really was so excited and I
really wanted to get this brother on is because he
deserves so many flowers for the things that he's been
doing as such a young fucking age.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hey man, this man had paved the way, and a
lot of times I don't feel I'm looking the camera,
I don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He should he gets the respect do that he should get.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So that's how we got him on the show today,
story Time with Legendary Jerry Jerry Clark, New Face.

We got our brother. Uh, mister bio put respect on it.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Literally, Man, if I'm at prime is shot.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We boun So how you feeling, bro? First of all,
thank you for coming on the show. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And like I said in the opening, man, you know
a lot of times when I and I've been in
the industry for thirty years and I watched a lot
of cats come and go. But for you to still
have longevity and still be relevant, Bro, I'm talking about
and we're gonna get into all this your restaurant owner.
You've been acting of course the music. I mean, Nigga, God,
(01:48):
what are you? What do you attribute? I mean, I'll
say it again. Cats come and go in this game, bro,
and you still fucking here?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Bro?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean I guess for me, I just credited
to all the cats I seen get it and then
lose it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You know. I just never wanted to be like them, So.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You know, you can learn from cat's mistakes and you
know their failures as well. So I look at people
and I just put myself in their shoes and I'm like, nah,
I can't.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I can't be that person, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I look on TV and I'm like, damn, I want
what he got or I want what they got, Like
I gotta go get that, you know what I mean.
So I think if you just determine that you know
what you want out of life, you ain't gonna let
nothing jeopardize it, especially me.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I love what I do.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So it's you know, an anytime you love something, you know, love,
that's that's precious to you, know what I mean. So
you definite ain't gonna yeopardize something that you love. And
and I just like I said, Man, it's like a
it's like a sport. It's fun. Like I never get
tired of doing this. It's like I'm always what can
I do next? When I feel like a door's closing here,
and it's like, all right, I gotta hurt it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I love a hustle. I love an ARTI hustling.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And that's the one thing I've noticed from him doing
the shows from the smallest of the biggest arena to
in the club like like you you said, you love
what you do, and that comes across as a fan.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We can tell when somebody just getting that check and working.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I know proudly he don't get paid to be there
longer than he do, but he still be like a
little bit after talking with the people, talking with the people,
having fun and everything. Man, so looking like Jerry said,
for so long, man, did you have early inspirations though
to look up as a kid starting out?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I mean, yeah, you know, Snoop was pretty much the
first person who of course because he discovered me. So
it was definitely dog and you know everybody on death
ro I was like so West Coast influence when I
was young, because that's all I was around, you know,
six years old, seven. You know, kids, you like a sponge.
You're gonna soak up anything that come your way. But yeah,
I would say Snoop was my first hero, and then
(03:33):
of course once I linked up with JDJD, became kind
of like that father figure, that father that I never
had in my life. And then you know, those two
pretty much was my heroes. But my ultimate hero, though
honestly on some real shit was Ai.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Like al Yeah, I would probably say Bubba was probably like.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
My biggest inspiration once I was famous, because I just saw, yeah,
because I just he was the only person at the
time that when I looked in the mirror, I saw
my self. He had to braids. I would tell my
hair braider, you got to braid me like this. I'm
watch the games to see how he braided, and I'm
watching my fans get their hair braided like me, like mom,
but they don't know I'm stilling from Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You know what I mean. So he was not that
Nigga was so funny like that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, like that's the heat, don't and I've just seen
shuk not too long. I did something for the for
the seventy six or so.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
When they did the unveiling of the trophy. It was
around that time.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It was before that.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It was it was top of the year, but probably
two and a half months ago, may like talking, but yeah, man,
you know, Ai was probably my biggest inspiration, starting from
like age.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'll say, like twelve twelve is yeah, twelve on up.
So he retired. That was my guy.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You just mentioned something and I want to touch on
you just mentioned as far as JD being a father figure.
Now in the history of mankind, uh, there has always
been whether you mentioned Malcolm X right and uh and
uh Elijah Muhammad got to Malcolm X or even little
(05:07):
Wayne and baby, but there has always been some type
of falling out with.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
A male and their father figure. Uh, and they grow
from it. What would you say the reason I know,
for a minute, I'm glad to see y'all back back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What would you say was the main reason for that
that riff for a minute with your father figure as
you said with JD.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, typical father son ship pretty much. You know, your
father is the the king of the throne. You know,
he lays down the lessons and all the teachers and whatnot,
and then you use those teachers.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You use those teachings and you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Go out here in the real world you start discovering
things and you gather your own information and come back
home and you feel like you know a little bit
more than your than the teacher.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
We're sitting in Star Wars, you know, you know, we
we got challenged, you know what I'm saying by Anniken,
you know, and it's like the same thing. It's kind
of like, man, I want I want to I want
to do it myself. I want to break through, like
let me, let me. And it's always felt that younger.
It was he always kept me on this leash. And
you know when you keep some a dog, especially a
while when it's just up, you're gonna unleash already an
(06:21):
all right, So it was that's pretty much what it was.
It wasn't a I hate you thing. It was more
of it's really family ship. It's like yo, at the
first time we fell out, it was more like YO,
I want to let me get more involved. I want
to get out, even want to Yeah, and it's like now,
I don't know if you're ready, and it's like niggas
you tripping like Nigga, I'm ready to go, like you
know what I mean. So it's just it was just
(06:41):
built up aggression. And plus me and JD, we we
just alike.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I was just you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
So we were similar in ways. So you know he
wants to be the best.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't want to be that.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Nigga's work ethic is I've been around a lot of
folks in this game and I ain't seen too many
people with work at it like JD mind and you
know what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So the one thing you want from your father is
what recognition is, right. Jermain is a tough cookie, you
know what I mean. He's not he expresses in other ways.
He doesn't know how to He knows this when he
sees this, he knows he's not the best communicator, Like
you don't know how to tell you good job or
the ship. You want to hear from your from your
(07:21):
but he has his way of his wife. It's like
I want to hear that that makes that's gonna make
me even go harder, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So that was pretty much like as a father with
a son, I can say me and my son talked
about this. He's a young adult now, he's twenty two.
It took me some time to you know, I was
so on it and then I had to you know,
new face. I had to pull it back and be like, Okay,
you know what, son, that's dope.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know what's great job, you know what. I'm proud
of you.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So as me and you know, there's not like I
tell people all the time, as me and his parent,
whether it's a literal parent or just a figure, there's.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Not a cookie. There's there's not a cookie cut away
to do this.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's not we can't go on YouTube and say, but
for you to sit here and admit that and say,
you know, and it talks in what you're saying, it
speaks of growth.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Absolutely, which is good. Absolutely. Like you said, y'all, I
didn't know y'all fell out multiple times. But yeah, this
family ship. But that's what happens.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Me and JD have fallen out so many times that
tried the publicly, the media don't even report it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No more.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It's like all this happens every summer. It's almost similar
to what we're seeing with Florida Tank in a way.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, it's almost identical. It's like mirror image. That's that's
that's a perfect analogy. It's me. It's just it's the same.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
The big homie groom g puts you in the game.
He's teaching everything. He's showing you the ends, the outs.
You learn and hear it all the information that sect
it now now you that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And and with family sometimes what happens with squabbles too
is somebody picks a side, right Yeah, so in the case,
I think, yeah, so the Brad. I don't know that situation,
but I don't want to say what she did, but
it seemed like she picked a side.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Did y'all speak afterwards? No?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
No, To this day, me and Brad haven't spoke, but
I respect the shout of Brad. I mean, brat, I
would say, he's I mean, she's always been loyal you
know to Jermaine that that'll never stopped, you know what
I mean? So I think you know about her being
there and her being there for all the riff raps.
I mean Jermaine has had its kind of like she's
pretty much overstatement.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, it's like all this nigga's grown. I'm grown.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
If you know it's gonna be, what's gonna be? JD cool,
he cool, I'm cool and that's that. But yeah, even
when we did the BT hip Hop Wars, we did
the Social Death, I believe it's a twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Five five.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You would have never known. But we didn't even speak
doing rehearsal, you know what I mean, we ain't.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Y'all got to get that right by come on for me,
I know it takes no for me.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
It's like I'm I'm in another place in my life. Yeah,
I'm cool with not having a lot of people in
my role deck trust like my life I relate. I'm
gonna always have love for Brat like that's family, you know.
I mean, but you know, my loyalty and my love
is to JD.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You know what I mean, Me and my pop school
and his mom was.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I could say that's like my g moms. Yeah, I
don't even talk to nobody else.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm stress that ever, whether during a riff or not
doing a rift, where when you were younger, did you
ever say maybe I should have signed a death throw
instead of so so death.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Nah. I'm thankful.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You never at one point said, man ship, I should
have signed the death row instead of sucking with this.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
No, because now because I fuck with death row first.
So that's what I'm saying, you know, I mean, but nah,
I just think that.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
You know, once Dre left and you know, everything started
to fizzle out. The person who discovered me, I mean
I needed him, you know what I mean. So once
he left, the labor went to no limit. It was
kind of like, it's time to regroup and go to
plan B. What we gonna do. I don't think, you know,
my guy's gone, and we don't know if we got
(11:02):
the right tools to put a kid out on death Bro.
It's like this this ain't this ain't gonn work. Plus
the ship they had me doing, and like the records
I was making, you know they on YouTube right now,
Like you can hear me at the age of six,
like should.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Curse person and your recordar for Yeah, it reminded me
of like.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I legal like remember that Jah and at six my
kid and pronouncing my words and it was so snoop dogg.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
It's like to this day, I mean me and my boys,
Like I joke about it.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I'm like, y, I wonder you always have those I
wonder how life would have been moments.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
It's like, damn, I wonder how life would have been.
If I would have never met JD.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I would have stayed on that route make was making
those records that I was making.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
It would have been on.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
That would have been I would have been I would
have been callied the fuck out.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I liking them records that you talk about, like to
when when Usher was with Diddy at first, like he
was he was making songs for adults and its like
and that's what the difference with JD. He was talking about.
We had conversations. I'm hearing how Usher talks. So then
we blend that together and Usher to make records that
it's really him. And that's how you came into your
own because, like you said, that wasn't probat.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Of your life.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You know he was, he was there, was there, But
you know, ain't nobody about to buy no no album
or no record from a six year old kid who
was talking after school.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Put your strap and I'm about to juice. I'm about
to roll up on you. I'm shouting out games. You
don't even know what.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Like us like Corrupt wrote like all My Ship and
Snoop wrote one.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It's a song called Dave.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
It's two versions, a version of Snoop wrapping it, it's
a version of unwrapping, and they both on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I think we can look at the cap. Thank god
that you man. Man, this is saying I don't even
know what I was saying.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Now that I'm older and I know what the fuck
going on, I'm like, I was what was I was
throwing up that I didn't know? You know, So I
do joke about it, like to myself, like damn, I
wanted up my life, you know. Yeah, but I'm glad.
You know, I'm thankful for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
People ask me all the time because of course, you know,
I said, I've been in the industry for years, and
I have three kids that are now young adults, and
I tried, I literally tried to.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Steer them away from the music business.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Now with your seed, you came in the game at
a young age by right, like you're just talking about
six years old. And then we've heard stories, you know,
the Hollywood stories that it has been coming out.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Now, are you pushing.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Or going to push your future seeds and seeds away
from this business man.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I'm not the type.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Because I feel like that's that's some controlling type of shit,
like I don't want to like.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You know, my daughter first of all, shot on. You know.
She she's in and out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
She she likes going to school, She like being her friends,
she likes being a teenager.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I mean, she has turned thirteen, so she.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Got I remember seeing you on the screen, So now
you got a teenager.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
She's thirteen. So she's just at that point now. Like
we were just talking about it. We was in Palm
Springs for a birthday. You know, we was just in
a car talking. I was like, Yo, I think it's
time for you to start knowing what you want to do.
You know, four years gonna come so fast. You're gonna
be seventeen. Man, Like, what about your fly? Because you
ain't gonna keep Apple paying requests that I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Tired of saying that that ship is crazy? Boy, did
she ask you how you're doing? First?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Jerry talking about you talk about that all the time,
and I get a good morning or something.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Now his dad, I'm going I'm going to the grove
with my friends request ze, man, it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
So I'm the only thing I tell her is, look,
dad got it cracking early, I got I got. I
jumped off the porch with it, you know what I mean.
I never had to ask nobody for anything, not money,
not nothing.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's time Like, I don't want you to be one
of these kids here just because I got it and
your mama got it, and you think you just gonna
be one of those.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I ain't going for that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
But I'm also not steering her or pushing her into
the entertainment business, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
She had her taste of it. She did some stuff for.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Nickelodeon, she did a movie, and she came back to
me like, you know, that is a lot like trying
to learn these lines and time and I got tests,
I still got homework, and I just say, you know what, Look,
I ain't the type that's gonna say because I did this,
I want you to keep the legacy going.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Check it out.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
You got your path that you gotta lay down, and
I'm gonna support you regardless. So take your time. Fuck
the act and shit you got time for that. Get
in school, knock that out so you got a clear
so you got a clear vision of what you want
to do. And then with my son, I just got done.
(16:06):
He's playing football, so he's about to be four.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay. I was about to.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Say, I want to go priest to you as a parent,
I was gonna be.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Like, come on by, let's do the FLA.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I went to my son to what not this weekend,
pad the week ago, last weekend, not this week and
the weekend before that last and I went and you know,
I was actually I'm on the field because you know,
at that age you got to be on the field
with I was literally I wasn't prepared for that ship.
I wasn't prepared. I went fly, you know this is me.
So I'm like, I'm sucking up my dune. So the
(16:39):
grass is all you know what I mean. But I
had the time of my life. And speaking of when
you was like I want to you know he playing football,
it was this one little kid. I mean he took
his flag off. The little boy was still running. I mean,
this little motherfucker came up like Brian Lacker, but he
had to be every bit of like five. I think
or sick, maybe five going on lid. He pushed the
little boy so hard. I was like, thank god, I
want my way.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Let me tell you what my kid.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You do feel away like I always was when I
was younger, when I played. My mom never would come
to my football games. And I see why, because you
do get You get pissed like somebody when the little
kids hit your kid, because you get hot.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like I was, we're mostly tied in. I can't mostly
tied in. Something happened like that, you like, allright, hold
on that man. My son probably gonna do sports though.
That's his thing.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
He's already telling me, like basketball, football, he he he
turned up with the sports.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know, we always keep the games on the crib,
so he with me. He always. You know, I'm always
telling you all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Curry like you know what he do, he created, So
you know you just playing them seats early.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
No, I ain't gonna lie if I'm pushing them to anything.
It's his ass to sports.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I want him to play, you know his mama tall
I'm like this this might mama, man, come on, I
would love that.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But let me tell you something from having a d
one athlete. My son he's the youngest.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
His mom on my ex wife used to get on
me at times about going too hard in him on him,
but now my son thanks me. Yeah, because let me
tell y'all, son, and y'all know this, kids really want
discipline and they want to pay. If you look at
some of the best athletes ever from Jordan, the Tiger Woods,
the Venus.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And Serrena, they were pushed. So you have to do that.
So don't be a shame. Of course, you know, there's
there's a you know, there's a line.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
You know there's at it.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
But my son, now he's a base he plays baseball,
and you know, there were times I've come back now
as a as a you know, as an older father
and apologizing.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Dad. I appreciate you, man, absolutely, so put what I'm
saying all that push him to sports.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Okay, that's definitely happening, you know, because he said definitely,
he said, Mama tall, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Love y'all got boys.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
See, I got girls, And so I tried to do
the cheer thing right. And so my daughter is the
top of the pyramid. Okay, So I did the whole
day with her, but the crew kind.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Of a dropped. I remember them days.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So I'm like, as a parent, I'm like and then
they she teary asked, so I'm like mad that they
drop my baby, but they kind of like the team
mad because they messed the playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But I'm like, that's my baby, you drive. I can't
really just like that. That's the one thing that's crazy. Man.
You know, every father you got a daughter.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I would't probably say every father, but just about has
that cheerleading photo of their daughter in the house. I'm
never gonna get that experience. I'm never I think I
might have cheered. She cheered one time. She did cheer
one time. Yeah, and it was over for that. It
was a wrap.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
She did cheer. I get that to her. She did.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Hey, man, but let me let me let me tell
you what really, what really really irks me by so
that you know, social media is social media And like
I said at the beginning of this show, man we
first came on, you look at your cache and how
long you've been doing things from acting to music, and
I see certain stuff on social medi media and it's
(20:01):
like folks they jump on this bandwagon where they feel
as though they try to take away from what you've done.
It and I'm gonna say it again. It irks the
shot out of me because I've seen I've said it again,
we talked about it. I've seen people coming going this game.
When you see this type ship, like from a mental
health standpoint and all that, how do you because you
know people, it's like people just want to jump on
(20:22):
a hate train all and.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm like, and I'd be wanting to jump in and
be like, but it's nigga done.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
But you know why you can't because everybody get it,
even the biggest giddy.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
We've seen, We've seen it happen currently in hip hop
right now, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Or or so you know, everybody will just jump on
a It happens to everybody and new face. I'll sit
back and I'll be like, and I had this conversation
with my boy on Young Jack as well, because people
was like, oh, this nigga, he ain't have but one record,
and I'll be like, oh, he done it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
That's all you need number.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
And I'd like, you can always performance going damn, I
should almost brought Jack out of the millennium.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
To hey man, But like, like I say, it fucks
with me to wait because I know what goes into
Like I said, your cachet is so so wide. Like
I say, the acting, I see you, I'm in the barbershop,
I see you do rad you got a restaurant, and
I'm like, people had a nerve to get on here
and just ship. We take everything away, just the music
(21:22):
and acting.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Like this nigga seeing this nigga on the screen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Years ago, every arena bro like this man on one
on six apart, So y'all talking to something.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
What they do the little like they do something with
the dinner or foods that because look, I ain't gonna yeah,
I know, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I've seen I've seen a lot of cats get pissed
about that ship.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah. I didn't get pissed at all.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I mean, I think what helped me is we got
a group chat and there's no holds bart in the
group chat. You get the business that that's a safe
place for me and my guys. We go and you're
gonna get it, you know what I mean. I think
for so many for.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So you got to have people like that to give
you right.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So for so long we've just been it trains you
for that type of energy.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
So for me, when you ask that.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Question, it's like when I see little things like that,
I'm just like, I'm just chilling, mind of my business.
And you know, then what helps me is I wake up,
I look at I look at my surroundings, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Two beautiful kids still make it. Look that's the same
people that do that.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
If they was you, they would tell you, you bow
what the fuck that should bother you?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Focus? If I was bawl big, I'll go call up
ten bitches.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And go get on the yacht and be no, I
wouldn't even funk about what you know, you know what
I'm saying. And one thing I realized, like you know
a lot of people think social media is real, Like
a lot of that ship is motherfuckers that wouldn't even
say half the ship they type in real life. That's
why it gives them that courage. You know, the kids
(22:58):
that get picked on now they become.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
The people that pick up. So it's like the music business,
it's like this saying it ain't the same. It don't
add up.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You know what I mean when I'm outside, you know, girls,
is it's still the same.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
It ain't no different.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
They it's even Damn, it might be worse now because
we've grown, you know what I mean, So that shit
just don't manifest into the real world. That's suit really
the matrix, you know what I mean. So it's kind
of like you can't get caught.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Up in that that ship and Jerry talks about your
portfolio like it's still stuff that's coming out today because
of social media, like going viral lately as a pilot
TV show that you had with Kim Field.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That's like prime example, like what's up with that? My
boy who's sitting behind the camera. You can't seem of course,
but here'll tell you, yo, all we do if we're
not working, were chilling every day ps.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Five and it.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Chilling off the grid, bro off the grid. And then
like I can wake up on a random day and
I can look and I'm training on Twitter number one.
I'm like, I don't even ask for the attention. I
don't look for the attention, you know what I'm saying.
I'm just try to run my business and my little music. Yeah,
take some of my kids and keep it pushing. So
it just let me know the value of bat the
(24:08):
brand of battle and with the name stand for and
sometimes they just gotta put me in some ship or
drag me into something, or today we're gonna you know,
the shaver might use my face as you know, the
cover of a story. New swipes like, damn, fuck out,
I'm chilling. I don't even ask for the ship, you
know what I'm saying. So, but it's flattering. It just
(24:29):
let you know that all the work you put in
the game, it's like, damn, these motherfuckers are pulling for me.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I'm not even out here reaching for ship.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And then in a way, like I say, you still relate.
I mean not in a way, but you are. You're
still riving, and you're still relevant and ship. I wanted
to always ask you something like cast it came in
the game young and this is just this an acting question.
Was there any roles you look back on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That you like, Yeah, all right, know what you're about
to say, Yeah, which role is that that you look
back on from an acting standpoint? It said, damn Gridiron.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Gang with the Rock. Oh but I think I couldn't.
I remember, I couldn't do that. I couldn't do that
the film because I went and did another film. I
don't I don't know which one. Of my films. I
end up doing both. They were overlapping each other and
it was gonna be hard for me to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't know the young man's name who played the
role that the main.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
K at the braids, but of course, yeah you blew
up though I was because I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
But no knocking me the hell of a job though.
I love it. I love that movie. I love the rock.
Yeah that's one.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Ah, here's a story because I'm so tired of the
back and forth and what's better uh at l or
Rollbounds Rodbounds. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you all
a gym that I never said before.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Only on story time with legendary j R. Right here
who faced.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And Chris Robinson could attested this because I've worked with
Chris Robinson before.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
That's the director of ATL. Shout out Chris Robinson.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Before Road Bounds came to me, Chris Robinson met with
me and gave me a script to this movie called
jelly Beans. Jelly Beans was the original title for they
changed it to ATL. The character you see TI playing
was supposed to be me. What happened was and Chris
(26:19):
can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe it could
have been the studio or the script. They took a
break from it. We didn't hear nothing about it.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Chris hadn't. He hadn't.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
If I never would have did rod Bounds, if that
movie never existed, they would have came back. They retaid
the movie atl Chris would have came back from me.
But during it, but during the time when the script
and everything kind of fell apart and it was, you know,
it was just floating.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It was quiet for it.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Malcolm d Lee, who was a director of Rodbounds, got
in contact with me, and this movie was rolling in
production looking for a start. He knew he wanted and
Boom went to Chicago, left Atlanta. Flew to Chicago, already
had to part, but I read for him, and I
knew I had that ship.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I ain't gonna lie. I knew I had.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
I knew I had it because I was so pissed
because I didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Feel like leaving Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So I just used all that energy and so then
I came back and we started production.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I was back in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Movie come out. It's a success. Boom they maybe like
two years land or whatever. I see at a and
I'm like, like, damn, Chris Robert, oh this is jelly Bean.
Oh so okay, okay, But there are two dope ass
movies and they both different. Yeah yeah, classes in their
own right, different periods.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
With Roll Bounce, you got the system soul, more of
a heartfelt center family, and it played in the seventies,
so you got the we were kids, so you got

chance to work with Lauren. Damn, you gotta, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
What was the funnest like out of all these films
we talked about, like really genuine good time to look.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Forward to coming to second day, pick one the.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Only one fun times smiling, well you waking up cut?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The check was cut.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
But see it wasn't even about the check, like I
really I have pun the check just be extra like
that ship just whatever. But uh, it's too that. It's
too It's two that come to mind. Lottery ticket for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, I was right down the street right look in
my mind, I ain't I was thinking it because I
was like, it looked like y'all was on that Jones
and the Cloud lottery ticket.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I think because I was home. We filmed it in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, I'm staying at my house driving the work like
it was just I was I was way too bed
waking up, man, you know, and then you know it
was just it was just a fun time, just all
the casts and you know, watching Leslie grow from that.
I believe in that our first, you know, major film.
Oh and then she blossoms to Ghostbusters and all of.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
These that's the right word, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
So definitely that one for many, that rooftop scene with
you and Bro. Yeah. Man, And that wasn't even in
the script. We uh, we improved all that her, you know,
we improved. That wasn't even in the script. I mean,
it wasn't a script for us to have that moment,
But there was no dialogue written
Speaker 3 (30:34):
What do you do
What story Time with the legendary Jerry. I am Jerry Clark.
As always, I'm here with my brother, New Face. New
Face is there. He's here, He's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
New Faces in a new place though, right, Yeah, win
a new place for it, Win a new place.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I just told I guess as you all see,
I ain't here. I'm about to do a quick intro
on this guy, and let me tell you, new Face.
The reason that I really was so excited and I
really wanted to get this brother on is because he
deserves so many flowers for the things that he's been
doing as such a young fucking age.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hey man, this man had paved the way, and a
lot of times I don't feel I'm looking the camera,
I don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He should he gets the respect do that he should get.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So that's how we got him on the show today,
story Time with Legendary Jerry Jerry Clark, New Face.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
We got our brother. Uh, mister bio put respect on it.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Literally, Man, if I'm at prime is shot.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We boun So how you feeling, bro? First of all,
thank you for coming on the show. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And like I said in the opening, man, you know
a lot of times when I and I've been in
the industry for thirty years and I watched a lot
of cats come and go. But for you to still
have longevity and still be relevant, Bro, I'm talking about
and we're gonna get into all this your restaurant owner.
You've been acting of course the music. I mean, Nigga, God,
(01:48):
what are you? What do you attribute? I mean, I'll
say it again. Cats come and go in this game, bro,
and you still fucking here?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Bro?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean I guess for me, I just credited
to all the cats I seen get it and then
lose it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You know. I just never wanted to be like them, So.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You know, you can learn from cat's mistakes and you
know their failures as well. So I look at people
and I just put myself in their shoes and I'm like, nah,
I can't.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I can't be that person, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I look on TV and I'm like, damn, I want
what he got or I want what they got, Like
I gotta go get that, you know what I mean.
So I think if you just determine that you know
what you want out of life, you ain't gonna let
nothing jeopardize it, especially me.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I love what I do.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So it's you know, an anytime you love something, you know, love,
that's that's precious to you, know what I mean. So
you definite ain't gonna yeopardize something that you love. And
and I just like I said, Man, it's like a
it's like a sport. It's fun. Like I never get
tired of doing this. It's like I'm always what can
I do next? When I feel like a door's closing here,
and it's like, all right, I gotta hurt it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I love a hustle. I love an ARTI hustling.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And that's the one thing I've noticed from him doing
the shows from the smallest of the biggest arena to
in the club like like you you said, you love
what you do, and that comes across as a fan.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We can tell when somebody just getting that check and working.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I know proudly he don't get paid to be there
longer than he do, but he still be like a
little bit after talking with the people, talking with the people,
having fun and everything. Man, so looking like Jerry said,
for so long, man, did you have early inspirations though
to look up as a kid starting out?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I mean, yeah, you know, Snoop was pretty much the
first person who of course because he discovered me. So
it was definitely dog and you know everybody on death
ro I was like so West Coast influence when I
was young, because that's all I was around, you know,
six years old, seven. You know, kids, you like a sponge.
You're gonna soak up anything that come your way. But yeah,
I would say Snoop was my first hero, and then
(03:33):
of course once I linked up with JDJD, became kind
of like that father figure, that father that I never
had in my life. And then you know, those two
pretty much was my heroes. But my ultimate hero, though
honestly on some real shit was Ai.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Like al Yeah, I would probably say Bubba was probably like.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
My biggest inspiration once I was famous, because I just saw, yeah,
because I just he was the only person at the
time that when I looked in the mirror, I saw
my self. He had to braids. I would tell my
hair braider, you got to braid me like this. I'm
watch the games to see how he braided, and I'm
watching my fans get their hair braided like me, like mom,
but they don't know I'm stilling from Ai.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You know what I mean. So he was not that
Nigga was so funny like that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, like that's the heat, don't and I've just seen
shuk not too long. I did something for the for
the seventy six or so.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
When they did the unveiling of the trophy. It was
around that time.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It was before that.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
It was it was top of the year, but probably
two and a half months ago, may like talking, but yeah, man,
you know, Ai was probably my biggest inspiration, starting from
like age.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I'll say, like twelve twelve is yeah, twelve on up.
So he retired. That was my guy.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You just mentioned something and I want to touch on
you just mentioned as far as JD being a father figure.
Now in the history of mankind, uh, there has always
been whether you mentioned Malcolm X right and uh and
uh Elijah Muhammad got to Malcolm X or even little
(05:07):
Wayne and baby, but there has always been some type
of falling out with.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
A male and their father figure. Uh, and they grow
from it. What would you say the reason I know,
for a minute, I'm glad to see y'all back back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What would you say was the main reason for that
that riff for a minute with your father figure as
you said with JD.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, typical father son ship pretty much. You know, your
father is the the king of the throne. You know,
he lays down the lessons and all the teachers and whatnot,
and then you use those teachers.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You use those teachings and you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Go out here in the real world you start discovering
things and you gather your own information and come back
home and you feel like you know a little bit
more than your than the teacher.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
We're sitting in Star Wars, you know, you know, we
we got challenged, you know what I'm saying by Anniken,
you know, and it's like the same thing. It's kind
of like, man, I want I want to I want
to do it myself. I want to break through, like
let me, let me. And it's always felt that younger.
It was he always kept me on this leash. And
you know when you keep some a dog, especially a
while when it's just up, you're gonna unleash already an
(06:21):
all right, So it was that's pretty much what it was.
It wasn't a I hate you thing. It was more
of it's really family ship. It's like yo, at the
first time we fell out, it was more like YO,
I want to let me get more involved. I want
to get out, even want to Yeah, and it's like now,
I don't know if you're ready, and it's like niggas
you tripping like Nigga, I'm ready to go, like you
know what I mean. So it's just it was just
(06:41):
built up aggression. And plus me and JD, we we
just alike.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I was just you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
So we were similar in ways. So you know he
wants to be the best.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't want to be that.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Nigga's work ethic is I've been around a lot of
folks in this game and I ain't seen too many
people with work at it like JD mind and you
know what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So the one thing you want from your father is
what recognition is, right. Jermain is a tough cookie, you
know what I mean. He's not he expresses in other ways.
He doesn't know how to He knows this when he
sees this, he knows he's not the best communicator, Like
you don't know how to tell you good job or
the ship. You want to hear from your from your
(07:21):
but he has his way of his wife. It's like
I want to hear that that makes that's gonna make
me even go harder, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So that was pretty much like as a father with
a son, I can say me and my son talked
about this. He's a young adult now, he's twenty two.
It took me some time to you know, I was
so on it and then I had to you know,
new face. I had to pull it back and be like, Okay,
you know what, son, that's dope.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know what's great job, you know what. I'm proud
of you.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So as me and you know, there's not like I
tell people all the time, as me and his parent,
whether it's a literal parent or just a figure, there's.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Not a cookie. There's there's not a cookie cut away
to do this.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's not we can't go on YouTube and say, but
for you to sit here and admit that and say,
you know, and it talks in what you're saying, it
speaks of growth.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Absolutely, which is good. Absolutely. Like you said, y'all, I
didn't know y'all fell out multiple times. But yeah, this
family ship. But that's what happens.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Me and JD have fallen out so many times that
tried the publicly, the media don't even report it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No more.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
It's like all this happens every summer. It's almost similar
to what we're seeing with Florida Tank in a way.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, it's almost identical. It's like mirror image. That's that's
that's a perfect analogy. It's me. It's just it's the same.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
The big homie groom g puts you in the game.
He's teaching everything. He's showing you the ends, the outs.
You learn and hear it all the information that sect
it now now you that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And and with family sometimes what happens with squabbles too
is somebody picks a side, right Yeah, so in the case,
I think, yeah, so the Brad. I don't know that situation,
but I don't want to say what she did, but
it seemed like she picked a side.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Did y'all speak afterwards? No?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
No, To this day, me and Brad haven't spoke, but
I respect the shout of Brad. I mean, brat, I
would say, he's I mean, she's always been loyal you
know to Jermaine that that'll never stopped, you know what
I mean? So I think you know about her being
there and her being there for all the riff raps.
I mean Jermaine has had its kind of like she's
pretty much overstatement.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, it's like all this nigga's grown. I'm grown.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
If you know it's gonna be, what's gonna be? JD cool,
he cool, I'm cool and that's that. But yeah, even
when we did the BT hip Hop Wars, we did
the Social Death, I believe it's a twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Five five.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You would have never known. But we didn't even speak
doing rehearsal, you know what I mean, we ain't.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Y'all got to get that right by come on for me,
I know it takes no for me.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
It's like I'm I'm in another place in my life. Yeah,
I'm cool with not having a lot of people in
my role deck trust like my life I relate. I'm
gonna always have love for Brat like that's family, you know.
I mean, but you know, my loyalty and my love
is to JD.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You know what I mean, Me and my pop school
and his mom was.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I could say that's like my g moms. Yeah, I
don't even talk to nobody else.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm stress that ever, whether during a riff or not
doing a rift, where when you were younger, did you
ever say maybe I should have signed a death throw
instead of so so death.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Nah. I'm thankful.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You never at one point said, man ship, I should
have signed the death row instead of sucking with this.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
No, because now because I fuck with death row first.
So that's what I'm saying, you know, I mean, but nah,
I just think that.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
You know, once Dre left and you know, everything started
to fizzle out. The person who discovered me, I mean
I needed him, you know what I mean. So once

when when Usher was with Diddy at first, like he
was he was making songs for adults and its like
and that's what the difference with JD. He was talking about.
We had conversations. I'm hearing how Usher talks. So then
we blend that together and Usher to make records that
it's really him. And that's how you came into your
own because, like you said, that wasn't probat.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Of your life.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
You know he was, he was there, was there, But

wanted up my life, you know. Yeah, but I'm glad.
You know, I'm thankful for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
People ask me all the time because of course, you know,
I said, I've been in the industry for years, and
I have three kids that are now young adults, and
I tried, I literally tried to.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Steer them away from the music business.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Now with your seed, you came in the game at
a young age by right, like you're just talking about
six years old. And then we've heard stories, you know,
the Hollywood stories that it has been coming out.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Now, are you pushing.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Or going to push your future seeds and seeds away
from this business man.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I'm not the type.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Because I feel like that's that's some controlling type of shit,
like I don't want to like.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You know, my daughter first of all, shot on. You know.
She she's in and out, you know what I mean.

we were just talking about it. We was in Palm
Springs for a birthday. You know, we was just in
a car talking. I was like, Yo, I think it's
time for you to start knowing what you want to do.
You know, four years gonna come so fast. You're gonna
be seventeen. Man, Like, what about your fly? Because you
ain't gonna keep Apple paying requests that I'm.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
So I'm the only thing I tell her is, look,
dad got it cracking early, I got I got. I
jumped off the porch with it, you know what I mean.
I never had to ask nobody for anything, not money,
not nothing.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's time Like, I don't want you to be one
of these kids here just because I got it and
your mama got it, and you think you just gonna
be one of those.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I ain't going for that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
But I'm also not steering her or pushing her into
the entertainment business, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
She had her taste of it. She did some stuff for.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Nickelodeon, she did a movie, and she came back to
me like, you know, that is a lot like trying
to learn these lines and time and I got tests,
I still got homework, and I just say, you know what, Look,
I ain't the type that's gonna say because I did this,
I want you to keep the legacy going.
Speaker 3 (15:28):

I'm gonna support you regardless. So take your time. Fuck
the act and shit you got time for that. Get
in school, knock that out so you got a clear
so you got a clear vision of what you want
to do. And then with my son, I just got done.

He's playing football, so he's about to be four.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay. I was about to.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I went to my son to what not this weekend,
pad the week ago, last weekend, not this week and
the weekend before that last and I went and you know,
I was actually I'm on the field because you know,
at that age you got to be on the field
with I was literally I wasn't prepared for that ship.
I wasn't prepared. I went fly, you know this is me.
So I'm like, I'm sucking up my dune. So the
(16:39):
grass is all you know what I mean. But I
had the time of my life. And speaking of when
you was like I want to you know he playing football,
it was this one little kid. I mean he took
his flag off. The little boy was still running. I mean,
this little motherfucker came up like Brian Lacker, but he
had to be every bit of like five. I think
or sick, maybe five going on lid. He pushed the
little boy so hard. I was like, thank god, I
want my way.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Let me tell you what my kid.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You do feel away like I always was when I
was younger, when I played. My mom never would come
to my football games. And I see why, because you
do get You get pissed like somebody when the little
kids hit your kid, because you get hot.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like I was, we're mostly tied in. I can't mostly
tied in. Something happened like that, you like, allright, hold
on that man. My son probably gonna do sports though.
That's his thing.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
He's already telling me, like basketball, football, he he he
turned up with the sports.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know, we always keep the games on the crib,
so he with me. He always. You know, I'm always
telling you all that stuff.

would love that.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But let me tell you something from having a d
one athlete. My son he's the youngest.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
His mom on my ex wife used to get on
me at times about going too hard in him on him,
but now my son thanks me. Yeah, because let me
tell y'all, son, and y'all know this, kids really want
discipline and they want to pay. If you look at
some of the best athletes ever from Jordan, the Tiger Woods,
the Venus.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And Serrena, they were pushed. So you have to do that.
So don't be a shame. Of course, you know, there's
there's a you know, there's a line.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
You know there's at it.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
But my son, now he's a base he plays baseball,
and you know, there were times I've come back now
as a as a you know, as an older father
and apologizing.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Dad. I appreciate you, man, absolutely, so put what I'm
saying all that push him to sports.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Okay, that's definitely happening, you know, because he said definitely,
he said, Mama tall, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Love y'all got boys.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
See, I got girls, And so I tried to do
the cheer thing right. And so my daughter is the
top of the pyramid. Okay, So I did the whole
day with her, but the crew kind.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Of a dropped. I remember them days.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So I'm like, as a parent, I'm like and then
they she teary asked, so I'm like mad that they
drop my baby, but they kind of like the team
mad because they messed the playoff.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But I'm like, that's my baby, you drive. I can't
really just like that. That's the one thing that's crazy. Man.
You know, every father you got a daughter.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I would't probably say every father, but just about has
that cheerleading photo of their daughter in the house. I'm
never gonna get that experience. I'm never I think I
might have cheered. She cheered one time. She did cheer
one time. Yeah, and it was over for that. It
was a wrap.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
She did cheer. I get that to her. She did.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Hey, man, but let me let me let me tell
you what really, what really really irks me by so
that you know, social media is social media And like
I said at the beginning of this show, man we
first came on, you look at your cache and how
long you've been doing things from acting to music, and
I see certain stuff on social medi media and it's
(20:01):
like folks they jump on this bandwagon where they feel
as though they try to take away from what you've done.
It and I'm gonna say it again. It irks the
shot out of me because I've seen I've said it again,
we talked about it. I've seen people coming going this game.
When you see this type ship, like from a mental
health standpoint and all that, how do you because you
know people, it's like people just want to jump on
(20:22):
a hate train all and.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm like, and I'd be wanting to jump in and
be like, but it's nigga done.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
But you know why you can't because everybody get it,
even the biggest giddy.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
We've seen, We've seen it happen currently in hip hop
right now, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Or or so you know, everybody will just jump on
a It happens to everybody and new face. I'll sit
back and I'll be like, and I had this conversation
with my boy on Young Jack as well, because people
was like, oh, this nigga, he ain't have but one record,
and I'll be like, oh, he done it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
That's all you need number.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
And I'd like, you can always performance going damn, I
should almost brought Jack out of the millennium.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
To hey man, But like, like I say, it fucks
with me to wait because I know what goes into
Like I said, your cachet is so so wide. Like
I say, the acting, I see you, I'm in the barbershop,
I see you do rad you got a restaurant, and
I'm like, people had a nerve to get on here
and just ship. We take everything away, just the music
(21:22):
and acting.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Like this nigga seeing this nigga on the screen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Years ago, every arena bro like this man on one
on six apart, So y'all talking to something.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
What they do the little like they do something with
the dinner or foods that because look, I ain't gonna yeah,
I know, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I've seen I've seen a lot of cats get pissed
about that ship.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah. I didn't get pissed at all.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I mean, I think what helped me is we got
a group chat and there's no holds bart in the
group chat. You get the business that that's a safe
place for me and my guys. We go and you're
gonna get it, you know what I mean. I think
for so many for.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
So you got to have people like that to give
you right.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So for so long we've just been it trains you
for that type of energy.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
So for me, when you ask that.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Question, it's like when I see little things like that,
I'm just like, I'm just chilling, mind of my business.
And you know, then what helps me is I wake up,
I look at I look at my surroundings, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Two beautiful kids still make it. Look that's the same
people that do that.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
If they was you, they would tell you, you bow
what the fuck that should bother you?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Focus? If I was bawl big, I'll go call up
ten bitches.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And go get on the yacht and be no, I
wouldn't even funk about what you know, you know what
I'm saying. And one thing I realized, like you know
a lot of people think social media is real, Like
a lot of that ship is motherfuckers that wouldn't even
say half the ship they type in real life. That's
why it gives them that courage. You know, the kids
(22:58):
that get picked on now they become.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
The people that pick up. So it's like the music business,
it's like this saying it ain't the same. It don't
add up.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You know what I mean when I'm outside, you know, girls,
is it's still the same.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
It ain't no different.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
They it's even Damn, it might be worse now because
we've grown, you know what I mean, So that shit
just don't manifest into the real world. That's suit really
the matrix, you know what I mean. So it's kind
of like you can't get caught.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Up in that that ship and Jerry talks about your
portfolio like it's still stuff that's coming out today because
of social media, like going viral lately as a pilot
TV show that you had with Kim Field.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That's like prime example, like what's up with that? My
boy who's sitting behind the camera. You can't seem of course,
but here'll tell you, yo, all we do if we're
not working, were chilling every day ps.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Five and it.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Chilling off the grid, bro off the grid. And then
like I can wake up on a random day and
I can look and I'm training on Twitter number one.
I'm like, I don't even ask for the attention. I
don't look for the attention, you know what I'm saying.
I'm just try to run my business and my little music. Yeah,
take some of my kids and keep it pushing. So
it just let me know the value of bat the
(24:08):
brand of battle and with the name stand for and
sometimes they just gotta put me in some ship or
drag me into something, or today we're gonna you know,
the shaver might use my face as you know, the
cover of a story. New swipes like, damn, fuck out,
I'm chilling. I don't even ask for the ship, you
know what I'm saying. So, but it's flattering. It just
(24:29):
let you know that all the work you put in
the game, it's like, damn, these motherfuckers are pulling for me.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I'm not even out here reaching for ship.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And then in a way, like I say, you still relate.
I mean not in a way, but you are. You're
still riving, and you're still relevant and ship. I wanted
to always ask you something like cast it came in
the game young and this is just this an acting question.
Was there any roles you look back on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
That you like, Yeah, all right, know what you're about
to say, Yeah, which role is that that you look
back on from an acting standpoint? It said, damn Gridiron.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Gang with the Rock. Oh but I think I couldn't.
I remember, I couldn't do that. I couldn't do that
the film because I went and did another film. I
don't I don't know which one. Of my films. I
end up doing both. They were overlapping each other and
it was gonna be hard for me to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't know the young man's name who played the
role that the main.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
K at the braids, but of course, yeah you blew
up though I was because I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
But no knocking me the hell of a job though.
I love it. I love that movie. I love the rock.
Yeah that's one.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Ah, here's a story because I'm so tired of the
back and forth and what's better uh at l or
Rollbounds Rodbounds. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you all
a gym that I never said before.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Only on story time with legendary j R. Right here

Speaker 4 (25:49):
And Chris Robinson could attested this because I've worked with
Chris Robinson before.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
That's the director of ATL. Shout out Chris Robinson.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Before Road Bounds came to me, Chris Robinson met with
me and gave me a script to this movie called
jelly Beans. Jelly Beans was the original title for they
changed it to ATL. The character you see TI playing
was supposed to be me. What happened was and Chris
(26:19):
can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe it could
have been the studio or the script. They took a
break from it. We didn't hear nothing about it.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Chris hadn't. He hadn't.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
If I never would have did rod Bounds, if that
movie never existed, they would have came back. They retaid
the movie atl Chris would have came back from me.
But during it, but during the time when the script
and everything kind of fell apart and it was, you know,
it was just floating.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It was quiet for it.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Malcolm d Lee, who was a director of Rodbounds, got
in contact with me, and this movie was rolling in
production looking for a start. He knew he wanted and
Boom went to Chicago, left Atlanta. Flew to Chicago, already
had to part, but I read for him, and I
knew I had that ship.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I ain't gonna lie. I knew I had.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
I knew I had it because I was so pissed
because I didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Feel like leaving Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So I just used all that energy and so then
I came back and we started production.
