But yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been front the crib five. Yeah. Yeah,
he from Florida.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I know that's why I would have did it for him,
But I don't do podcasts, and so yeah, I mean
I'm hearing that though.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So come on, let's talk. Let's go.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
All right, let's take it back to Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Can we take it back to Jacksonville? Who was a
little duval growing up?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My parents was more so that was a village.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
So it wasn't just my parents, it was my family,
it was my neighborhood. I'm a product of my environment
in a good way.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know. You know, we get here. Everything bad by Jacksonville,
but I'm one of the good things.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Yeah, I heard it was two sides of Jacksonville when
I when I went one time, they was like, yo,
you cross the bridge.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That bridge across the bridge kind of rough now too,
but it's like it is two sides. There's the college
white boy's side that they party like a motherfucker. Then
you got us the niggas. You know what, it's both
and both. I'm good. You just got to understand both
of them. Yeah, I wanted to go get both. They
told me to go on the other side. They like,
you want to get the good food. You gotta go
(02:09):
overever to the north side. I mean even on the
north side, the good food on the north side, on
the hood.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, hood. So if you want some good food, come
to the hood.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Did you ever explore like music, because I know you
do the music now and I actually love how you
It was organic.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was all organic.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Did you ever have a rapper phase where you was like,
I want to be a rapper?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I mean I was like I was. You got to
think when hip hop came around.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It came around around the town when I was a kid,
so it was like everybody would like we had a
rap in our neighborhood, which was my homeboy. So I
went over his house and we used to listen to rap,
and we used to call it stuff. But it was
just like fun stuff. It wasn't like, this is what
you're gonna do to be famous. Like the only thing
I just knew I was gonna be an entertainer. I
just didn't know how. So whatever was working, and the
(02:57):
thing that worked the most was I was funny.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You know what I'm saying. I was entertaining, So I
just went with that and that's that's where it went.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
But who told who told you, like, man, you're funny, man,
you should really take this serious.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Nobody really it was like a did you like, was
you like the funny the person that was funny, that
joaned on people, cracked on people. Yeah, Almus cracked like
so they Honestly, I was really the bully out of
like it was big. I was the littlest person, but
I was the bully when it came to ranking. You
know what I'm saying, joning what y'all call it. When
(03:30):
I was in when I was in the room, I
used to rank on everybody, So that came organic for me.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And then when I moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
My man he used to be he used to be
with a Hindu Entertainment which Coach K. That's Coach K
was probably the first person I met that was in
the industry when I first moved here, because he was
my man, was signed to them who Hindu who Coach
K worked for?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And he the one the guy.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Matter of fact, it's it's funny how life worked because
the guy that put me on here, he like a
crackhead now on my street right now.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And I'm not saying that in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I'm just saying like sometimes that one person can change
or like that might be the only purpose in life,
that little that little part of the ecosystem switch you
over to make you who you is. So I guess
in a way, if it wasn't for him, I probably
wouldn't because he the one told me to like, man,
let's go up here to the comedy club, you know
what I'm saying. And I went up to the comedy club.
(04:28):
I think I went to Chris Tuckerble. I didn't go up,
and then the next time I went up. So I'm saying, like,
just just that little thing there, he he kind of
instilled that in me. Now that i'm thinking back, yeah,
I mean he made me actually like, man, you could
do that because he was like the man when I
came up too, like he was. I was the man
in high school. He was the man in high school.
(04:49):
So when he left, he went to Atlanta, you know
what I'm saying. And then soon as when I got intwelve,
my first thing was like I got to get out
of Jacksonville. So now that I'm thinking, maybe just made
seeing like him do it, I did it. And then
when I met got there, you know, when you get
it you meet whoever. You know, I saw him, you
know what I'm saying. So I clicked up with him
(05:10):
and are you a little douval yet? No, I didn't
become a little more Rolland you know what I'm saying. Extually,
I'm the nigga from Florida. That's how it was. Like
everybody from Florida linked up. When we first moved to
you knew Florida was like.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
When you know you know what Florida. Yeah, this was
like the nineties, Like this was I moved here in
ninety six.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
So during that during the Olympics, like yeah, freak nigga
was down all but the Olympics at first. That's when
Olympics was here. So I had moved at that time.
So we all clicked up. Everybody from Florida clicked up.
And I didn't start doing comedy until like ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Wow, So what was that first time on stage?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Like nor hosting. He gave you the might recipe, he
gave you the mic, And I think if I wouldn't
have got a laughed out, I probably wouldn't have did it.
I probably wouldn't be doing that once.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I got nobody laughed you would have just been room
that night.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I probably wouldn't have did it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it was all, did you have like a show
prepped or you just went up there?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And I went up there. I had one joke. I
had one joke joke.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I think I said something about they say black people
will make things out another I said, I think it's
Mexican's getting anybody that could take a two or Toyota
turst sell and turn into a pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So that's what my joke was.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And at work that's the only thing I remember off that,
and then from that I had another joke, and everybody
knew me from one joke. One joke rolling, I had
a joke boy T shirts. I was like, and I
was like, man, I'm selling these T shirts. It was
a blank T shirt. You say they cost fifty dollars.
Back then, it ain't nobody paying no fucking fifty dollars
for T shirts. So that shit used to rip. So
(06:46):
those was my jokes, and they just spilled from that,
and I just kept going, kept going, kept going, and
I started incorporating my comedy with music because I always
was like a hip hop a comedian, So I just
enter twine into one and it was always me and it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Here I am.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
How did that lead you to entertainer?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Giving you a shot?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That was I was in.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I did that thing in Oakland. It was some type
of competition out there and I didn't win. But one
of the guys to manage his road manager ship man,
don't get mad and forget your name, can't s shit.
I forgot his name, but he he saw me. He
(07:27):
was like, hey, man said you going on the road,
and he taking up and coming comedians on the road,
and I think you would be good.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So he took me on the road.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Are yet no you still?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I didn't become a little Duval till I did coming
to the stage, And the only reason I did that
was because I got tired of repping my city by
saying like sometimes now I got tired. It was like
it was hard for me to sometimes just say I'm
from Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
So now it was like, you can't help but know
from Duval by seeing my name because everywhere I went
and Florida, like, I was already popular before I got
on Copic coming to the stage because I had from
doing Sedric and doing comic View. So I was the
man in Florida so everywhere I went in Florida, they
was like, that's a little Duval because they knew me
from Duval. So I was like, damn, they know me
(08:16):
from that. I'm finna call myself Duval all over the
world that way. I ain't even gotta I'm still wrapping
my crib and I'm still saying because like if you
listen to my first ship, I used to always say
Duval at the end of the every show. So now
I have to say it no more. As soon as
they said so I knew what I identified from, not
just from Jacksonville, from people from Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They knew off. Then that's inspiration.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Damn, this nigga here from where I'm from. So I
already I had already implemented. And so when I did
come to the stage, I knew. I was like, I'm
gonna call myself Duval from now on, a little Duvault
from now on. That's where it came from.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
You question, I always wanted this was you on coming
to the stage where little JJ was on there.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
No, but that's that goes back to the Mandela effect.
You know what i'mayingbout where they said you think you
remember something, but you really don't like everybody right now?
I think they saw me with Little JJ, but Little
JJ was on there the season before me and he
won and I was on the season athletes see everybody?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Why does everybody think?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Because y'all slow?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Humans are slow humans really all slow, so they don't
realize that, but they think they do. And social media
don't make it no better. So you're thinking you're doing something,
but you really don't. You really don't know yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
We'll be right back with more of a baller alert show.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
When did you meet T?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
I uh like, probably, shit, I don't know when did
When did definitely in all the videos?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Shit, that had to be two thousand and one, two
thousand and.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Two, Yeah, right before because I'm serious came out. He
wasn't like popping popping, but he had a deal, so
I knew around that time when they had dope boys
in the trap and he didn't really pop to trap music.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So I met him through that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I met him just passing by doing shows, and then
he used to come to the Cut uptown at when
we used to do Sunday Night with NAWD, So I
met him through that. So in between all that, we
just used to text through side kick and ship like that. That.
Then then once he got trap music, he blew up,
you know, So we just it was just natural. Like
(10:26):
people think it was like like a lot of stuff
I did was like all right, I I'm gonna get
with this nigga and this would like they think I
blew up from being the hip hop commun and hanging
with Tip, But it wasn't. That was just we was
friends and it's just organic. If anything was Clay through
all that, honestly, because whenever we did shows, Clay would
put me on the host of the concerts, you know
(10:46):
what I'm saying. So he just said make sure you're there.
I made sure I was there and I did them.
You know what I'm saying. It just organically happened. So
that's how that happened.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, because you was in all the music videos at
one at one.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Point because Atlanta was high at the time and I
was here, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Like I said, it was organically happening. It was just
like I was.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I was the young comedian and like like even with Ludacris,
Lucris used to host, used to used to be on
the radio, so he a host the every every Tuesday
Wednesday host the Tues that went to radio person host
and he used to be there. So naturally you just
meet people and through that and that's how we became cool.
So it was just a natural thing at that time.
(11:27):
Everybody Atlanta was bubbling at the time. You know, one
O six and part was popping. So Atlanta had one
on six in Park on lock and I was on
all the videos.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was strategic because I was like, man, how is
he in every video?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Because I was where it was at.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It's just like now, it's just like if you're on
social media right now, if you in the mix of
when everybody was bubbling, you just naturally in it. You
know what I'm saying, and if you know what you're
doing while you're in and you under I just understood
where I was and I capitalized on the same thing
with social media. I understand good off the beginning what
it was, and I just took advantage of it at
(12:03):
the time and understood and that just right now I
reaped the benefits of just being grandfather.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Then I know you're super cool with Charla Mane.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
How did you guys get.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Cool social media? I met him. No, my space. I
just met him. Yeah, I d M him or whatever
was back then. We I was like, because he was
on ozone magazine. I was on Ozone magazine. I did
ten things I'm hating on. He had another little thing
and so I hear them up. I was like, man,
(12:32):
fuck with you to woo. I was like, we need
to link up and do skits. I used to fly
up to New York. I flew up in New York
did the skits. And that was before skits was popping.
We was the one, the first one. The good thing
about social media you can look at all the time
like we was really the first ones to do all
them shit. So we started doing. That's how we built.
(12:54):
And I think the good thing was I never wanted
to be what he wanted to be, and he never
wanted to be what I wanted to be. You know
what I'm saying, Like you see the difference is now
everything is focused on media. So now media is popular.
I don't give a fuck about media. That's why HET
doing these podcasts. That's where all do. That's where that's
(13:14):
what we don't evolved to now, you see what I'm saying.
So it's worked out perfect for in his work and
see it looks like it's but that's really what he
was already.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
It's always been a media person. Just the industry has
moved on to that. So it's it's just been natural.
We've always been still cool to this day. I don't
want to do what the fuck he do.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He don't want to do what I do. It's just
the industry has moved to that.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So and they get to hear you every day on
Donky other day went because he got you in the.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Drop for real.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You see, I don't be I talk this nigga every day.
I don't keep up with what he's doing. We just
talk as friends, you know what I'm saying. And that's
all we are.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Here's here.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
He invented me about some ship that happened in there,
and I vented him some ship.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We're friends. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't ask him for shit, he don't ask me
for shit.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But listen, that's our friendship is supposed to be, right,
That's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But I mean in this indagey like if you if
you can't use your friends, it's used.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But I don't see it like that. You know, I
like having friends that we ain't.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We wasn't built off of that, you know what I'm saying,
even though actually I guess we was, but we really
wasn't because we just organically did ship.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
So because y'all real friends, like not industry friends, I
think that's kind of what you.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, I'm a bad person to asks about how to
get it, how to do ship, because I do shit organically.
Everything I've done in my career I've actually did because
I want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I moved by my own drum. So I'm the wrong
person to asks when.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It comes to how to make it because if you
go by me, you're probably gonna fuck up because I'm
just doing what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Or you probably you probably just not gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
You might not because I mean if you go by
actually you could if you if you follow my by
by my were ideologies of life because I don't move
by business.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I moved by being a genuine person. You know what
I'm saying. You might not make it a billionaire, but
you're gonna be happy in life. Yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
So we was talking off camera about like how the
new generation of comedians, like everybody just doing anything to
make it, and you know, like, what's some advice you
would like really give people, like if.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They advice for these niggas.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I just I mean, I think we asked for too
much advices, were looking for shit, like words to change shit.
You just felt like everybody looked up to. I didn't
really meet him. I just paid attention, you know what
I'm saying. Like one of the people I looked up to,
my first people looking up to was Deon Sanders because
he was from Florida. You know what I'm saying, Just
(15:45):
identify the same way I'm saying I put a little
dovefall to make people identify identified with him because he
was from a Florida nigga.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And you know what I'm saying. He ain't.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I couldn't play no fucking football. But it's just the
fact that he was from there, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it just gave me hope.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I didn't.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I didn't meet him until I became somebody, you know
what I'm saying. But it's just it gave an instilled
with me. I didn't he didn't tell me, all right,
do this do that. It's just I watched, so I
tell people just watch.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But it's probably annoying, right, like a lot of comedians.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
That I don't mind it. You know what I'm saying,
because once they used to do that. Andrew Shows used
to aggravate the ship out of me about it. That's
why I say, if you want something, you gonna have
to pull it out of me, and it's gonna be
people I give a fuck about. You know what I'm saying,
because I feel like certain people shouldn't get certain ship.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know, I am a fan of you on social
media because you don't give a damn I.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Do, but I do. You know, I do care. I care.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I just you're freely typing.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You're freely that's where your advice is in the tweets.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Those are very good.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I said, I come from an era. I come from
an era of social media where you said what's on
your mind. It's not like a like, I'm not making
a press release now, it's a press release everything you say.
So when I'm talking, I'm just saying what's on my mind.
I'm not saying it's facts, you know what I'm saying.
Just this was on my mind. This is how I feel.
But now we take it there these effects. This is
(17:11):
what you're heard what Duvall said. He said, he said, you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Just I don't know what y'all gonna be offended by.
To y'all offended?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do your team like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Now, I don't care if you get offended, you know
what I'm saying. But I don't know. I'm not saying,
all right, this is gonna really pull them off. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Let's unless I'm just doing it just to be an
asshole and it's just some some non threatning type ship.
But it's never like I'm just like, oh yeah, I'm finna.
I'm finna go go viral, Like I'm not the nigga
that asked about how to go viral, because I really
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean, you do viral stuff?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You do?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Are you still doing the Auntie of the I had.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
To stop doing that because they start banning it because
niggas start handing yeah like somehow yeah man, people, yes,
that ship be that ship was lit niggas.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It was banding the motherfuckers.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
But I do stuff like for the ecosystem, for us,
you know what I'm saying, like when I do stuff,
like my page is mostly for for all of us,
you know what I'm saying, not just when I say Oh,
I'm not just saying like niggas is just an ecosystem
of people that grew up around what what that can
identify with what I'm going through. The conversations, Yeah, conversation
(18:24):
with like the podcast that I'm doing that I really
didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You don't like media, so why are you doing it it?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I mean it's kind of like the people that you trust,
they want me to do it, so I'm gonna do it,
you know what I'm saying. Charlottagnet been trying to get
me to do podcasts since he been doing Brilliandy, which
I don't know how long that's been, that's been since
first started, So trying to get me to do it.
But like that's his lane, you see. Like I said,
(18:57):
that's the media lane. That's never been my lane. But
he been to get me do it. But now ten
fifteen years from everybody doing it, now, I don't want
to do it because everybody doing it. You see what
I'm saying, Like I wonder people if everybody doing it,
I don't want to do it, but they keep forcing
me to do it. So they finally got me do
it while I was laying on my back and I
couldn't do shit else and that was hurt.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So it was him.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Well, Clay actually talked me into doing it, so I
was like, all right, if I do, I do it
with you. It'll be me and Clay. It was supposed
to be me and Clay, and then we got the
check from the niggas.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Then he died then and then so now I'm doing it.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Because it's out of respect of my nigga, Clay and them,
because they could have been took the money back, you
know what I'm saying. So, but at the same time,
that's what happens when you do shit with people that
you fuck with, like with Dolly and Charlotte Mayne them.
So I'm just doing it just out of respect, you
know what I'm saying. And it actually I feel like
(19:52):
they give me a chance to do it how I
want to do it, you know what I'm saying. So
it's just conversation and it's understanding and just let people
pick my brain, you know.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
So you said you.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Got hurt for people who don't know you actually got.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Hit by a car. Oh yeah, yeah, I got hit
by a car. How did you get hit by a car?
Can hit me?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
The motherfucker hit me from the back while I was
in the Bahamas. Mother lady hit me.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You have a lot of near death experiences, Yeah, I
got a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I'll be scared when you be posting your plane.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I ain't gonna lie why because it just looked like
it's just one win away from it.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's just never coming back.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Saying it because because this is why we're ignorant as
a people, because we don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
But listen, all right, So the first time I ever
flew private right right, I was like, where did you
fly yet?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, it was a jet.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
But I was like, I was like, how do people
brag about I was like, I don't like this because
it was like the turbulence.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I don't know, because you.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Know, like it's more turbulence in the commercial flights. I've
had more turbulence. See with me, I don't fly unless
I see the weather perfect, so I don't catch too
much turbulence like I do.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But I don't not as much as I do.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
On the cause you can kind of tell your pol
is like, yo, go this way to avoid this weather.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, you can see the weather on your I got
an app right now. I check the weather all the time,
you know, called for a flight. All of everybody in
aviation use it.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
But I mean I do it too.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That's one of the things I do to to open
our eyes up to understand the aviation because we really
lost and you know, we really really know because the
ship been going on for hundreds of years. When when
planes invented, I got you, you know what I'm saying.
So I mean, and how many niggas y'all know really
got a plane for real?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I don't know anybody, That's my point.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
And we should know because now it's evolving to where
planes can damn them fly theyself now, so we gonna
be handicapped, like while people you know how people have
to catch the bus now rely on the bus. If
you can't fly certain shit, you can't do certain shit.
So I mean we should get into it, you know
what I'm saying. And I mean it ain't for everybody,
but in my business, it makes sense for me because
(21:55):
I travel for a living, so it made sense for
me to give a plane.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, and I always see in the comments, like people
always be like, you're not scared of being on that
little plane and stuff like, I mean, that's what.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's what I used to say.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
But after a while, like I've been flying for like
six years now, so over time now they're starting to
more people like into aviation, not just from watching people
like me and other people like my man Male Mail
the Traveler.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He does acrobatic aerobatic. I don't want to say it wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
He probably it's probably right, the wrong way to say it,
but he make the planes flip and do all that
type of shit, you know what I'm saying. So when
you see people that look like you do it, you
end up doing stuff like that. So that's the only
reason that's I mean, that's one of the reason why
I show it more on my page.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I like when you're posting content like that because it
gives us something.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
You are, what you see you have.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You have one of the rare things that a lot
of comedians don't have. A number one Billboard single.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, that shit was big.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Now when you recorded that record look at my best life,
my bad Yes, smile I could tell and correct me
if I'm wrong. You just had a good ass time
recording that shit.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, I mean, but I always have good times with
All My songs come from something i'm doing or a joke.
So that song came from a joke for me saying
smile bitch on on Twitter and Instagram, you know what
I'm saying, And so I built it off of that.
So and I've always, like I said, I understood how
social media was, and I understood how I was other
songs I was making big just from being me. So
(23:24):
I knew if I could make these songs big, I
could do the same thing with me, you know what
I'm saying. So before that, I did killing with the
shoulders you know what I'm saying shows, and I did
that with Snoop what I'm saying, so.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I like football grease on that ball greas.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So once I did once I did that, I was like, oh, yeah,
this next shit. But I didn't know it was gonna
do as big as it was gonna do. When I
read something, I threw it for like a joke. So
when I go on my shows, I could just put
it in my show. So to me, that's a win
for it all. And so when I did it, I
did it for that I was like, oh nah, this
shit gonna hit, you know what I'm saying. But I
(24:00):
was just gonna hit for like all my fans and
all that. But then when I posted and I started
seeing a thing did I started seeing how I was.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Like, oh nah, this ship Finn changed the world?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Did that ship did curse? But did that change some
things for you? Because music? You were putting music out
but never to this level before it changed in the
way Billboard is really your.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
No, because I was already making money before that. Honestly,
it kind of because people don't know this, I ain't
made a damn from that song?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What what?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, like they I ain't made a damn from that
song yet, So it ain't like I mean not as
far as from the record, you know what I'm saying. Well,
that too, but it was a lot of other stuff.
I don't feel like talking about that because I don't
feel like flexing on the nigga.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Right, Okay, what made you chop off your infamous dreads
because you had those four.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
While it was a headache them bas had them had
a vein going through heavy than a motherfucker man, So
I cut them bitches off.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Listen, But you know, to cut off dreads. It's an experience.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
You got to say, I don't want this shit no
more because it take you a long time to get
them to the length.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It didn't matter.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It ain't got that.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
But you know, you know what though you you it
worked out good for you because some people would cut
their dreads and then they just lose all their hair.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, I did way before that. I was still young.
I did well. My daughter was like two, so yeah,
one or two, yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Yeah, Because I have to say, some people in the hood like, man,
how you were just you just had dreads.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Now now that was over time, like because most people
when you catch me, like say fences, I don't know
how to y'all. But like if you was in your thirties,
you probably caught me when I had dreads. Then you
start living life and the next thing you know, you
see me without dreads. You like, hold up, I thought
they had dreads. So but in that miss the time.
That's been ten years, so you'll see when ten years
(25:53):
down the line, people still thinking about you from ten
years from now.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
You're right about that.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
So who would you say, who would you say? Your
your top comedian is all right now?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Like in the game or do you even care? I
don't care, man, I don't care, but I go with it.
Jay Ski money bag, MAFIYEA have to tip them? Yeah?
Who else the top?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I'm trying to think of people that I know funny
but don't get enough looks. J. J. Williamson. That's the
That's one of the funniest niggas that people don't know. J.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Williamson.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah, he on the radio out there in Dallas, d
D in the morning. I wish you would have told
me it was gonna ask me this before this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Who else? Erica duchess?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
The type of duchess?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah? And Green?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now that's my boy. I like, I like that funny.
Now I do want to talk about some kind.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Of deep because that's my guy too. Okay, we lost
our guy, Clay. Yeah, I've no Clay for a very
long time.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I know that hits you hard too, because was he
your day to day manager.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
He was more than my manager. He was like my
older brother.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Okay, so a lot of people lost business stuff, but
I lost like an older brother.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
And Clay was a good guy man Like. It's hard
to find people like that in this business, you know what.
I mean, I said all the time, like you find
genuine people like you got to keep them close because you.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Know how this business are.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Everybody act like they want to be your friends, that
act like they want to help you and stuff like that,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Just it's really rare to find good people in this business.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah it is. But he was one of the good ones,
so that's why. That's why. But the good thing about it,
I never.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Took him for granted, so and I always gave him
his flowers while he's here.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So that's how. You got to never take nobody you
love for granted, right.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I like that We the ones tour on right.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Now, Yep, all of us on that bitch.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We're showing how comedians can do their thing and show
love and kill that bitch all in one. It's more
than a comedy show. It's like a comedy concept. You know,
we have a comedy a comedy party.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
How'd you get the call for that?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It's something we always had in the making sense. Like
the promoter I've been doing business with for like years,
you know what I'm saying. He a little younger than me,
but he always been doing this thing. So around when around,
when smile bitch came along, we had an idea. It
was like, yeah, we're gonna do something, be the next way,
you know what I'm saying, And so it just evolved
(28:26):
into this, and I mean it's took a time because
with twenty twenty and all that stuff there, then I
got hit by cards, so it's took a time. But
now it's finally here and we've been selling out everywhere
and it's been great.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Everybody getting along backstage.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, we have a great time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Like anybody scared to going after certain.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
After you, no, Actually it's like because honestly, I was
supposed to be going last, you know what I'm saying,
But like it's really me honestly, But but they they
don't go they don't hesitate to go up after me.
And like if I do have to go, let like
we rotate. Honestly, like certain cities I do last, like
in Florida. There's no way, you know what I'm saying,
(29:04):
But like certain certain times and certain cities, I go last.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But if they go last, like we have. The main
thing is staying on time.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I'm staying your time because no matter how funny you are,
if you go over your time, it's after if it's
six of us, it's gonna be like three hours. So
last thing you're gonna it's gonna be a long time.
So you want to respect your time. And it's honestly,
the person that take the longest is probably met. Yeah,
so I'll be taking he sometimes, like I tell him,
I'm sorry. Shout out to d Ray because Deray he
headline a lot, and you know, God, Derail fun.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Him mother, hilarious.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
He wanted the greats for real last like joke for joke.
Ain't too many people fucking with de Ray. So for
Deraady to go last after all of us, and just
for anybody to go after me, it's a lot. Because
I do music, comedy, I do it all. You're out
there performing, yeah, I tap dance.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You know, I think there's any another comedian that can
go joke for joke for you in the ranking section session.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I don't rank like that, no more.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I don't even have like a I don't don't really
think about it like that because.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So you're you're deactivated, you're deactivated in that in that area.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I just do what I do, man.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I don't like honestly, I pulled back to a lot
because I feel like I can hurt people feelings I like.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I like to pull back, Like a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Of times I spell niggas for real man because I'm
an older niggas, so a lot of stuff that don't
hurt me can kind of make another motherfucker, like get
on the ledge or something. So I let people talk shit.
I give people jokes together on me. I do it
all the time, especially on social media.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I don't care what you say about me. You know
what I'm saying. So I have to be conscious of
what I see about the other people.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Because I was gonna ask you this those my next question.
Do you care about what people say about your cousin? No,
I really viral sometimes in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I really don't let.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Me going crazy sometimes sometimes I don't take.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It personal with the women because I know they don't
get it.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You feel like you got a lot of female fans, though.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I do.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
When it's all the time. My big haters be black women.
But my biggest supporter is this black women. You know
what I'm saying, Like they the one showed me the
most loved you know what I'm saying. So I don't.
I don't have a problem with it. You know what
I'm saying, It's just women being women.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Do you read?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Do you read the comments?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Sometimes?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, but they'd be entertaining me. Like it takes a lot,
It takes everybody. It takes other people to tell me like, man,
you need to delete that, or something like Robin or
maybe Clay used to like.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Does he ever tell you deleting?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
No charlamage be the one putting the battery in your
back ship. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
But like me, I don't be like I said, I
don't know what they're offended by until like it'd be
like two three hours later and I'm looking at my name,
I'm like, what the fuck? Like they made it. It
don't be hitting me like that because they read it.
You gotta think when you're reading something, you're reading in
your in your mind, not in my mind. So like
if you having a bad day, you and your man
(31:56):
and guy in the argument and then talking about bitches,
ain't sit this, nigga. Ain't this mother Collins bitch? You
take it personal? But so I don't. Never, I haven't
been on it longer than anybody. I can show you
my page. Run I get death threats, I get everything.
None of that shit bothered me. I might be people
be sending you death threats. I don't got death threats
(32:16):
longer than y'all. How old are you?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Thirty? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
How long?
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Let me see waits, there's no way you've been getting
death threats that long.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Shit. You say thirty, since you've been about ten at.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
Least it's maybe two.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, But I don't take it like like I don't know,
maybe because I'm older, so I always looked at social media.
That's why it was hard for me to understand cyber bullying.
I'm like, how can you be mad? How can this
person bully you on the internet.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
From a device?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, I never understood that. Now I get it because
people in their head more so than I am. So,
but it's never bothered me. I've never got knocked off
my school on social media.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
We will be right by, stay tuned with more of
the ball or alert show.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I do want to ask you, because you know, you're
just like a ball of energy. You always energize the
people and stuff like that. But I know sometimes little
Duvault may have a bad day. You don't never have
a bad day. Does anything stress you or anything like that. No, okay,
answer this, then, how what's the mental space that you're
(33:27):
in to be like that?
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Come from programming? I program myself like this over time.
That's why I say there's conversations. We just talking to
our ass catch fire. It's what you do every day
is who you are. You know, we all are creatures
of habit. So by me every day, over time, I
progressed into the person that you'all see right now. So
whoever you're trying to be, you got to progress into
(33:50):
that strategically and understand your programming. Understand the programming that
you are already in and reprogramming. You know what I'm saying,
and be real with yourself and know like I didn't
start getting smart till I accept it how dumb I was.
So once you accept how dumb you up, you you
move forward because you know I can't. I can only
(34:13):
get better, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So I appreciate you spending some time.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Yeah, we appreciate you for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yo, I got I got another question too. So how
did you get this plane?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I bought it?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
What'd you buy?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I bought? Well? This is my I got three planes?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
You have three planes?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah? I bought my first plane. I landed. As soon
as I landed, the PDK, that bitch cut off.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Do you fly your own plane?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah? I do, well I haven't later because I got
a pilot and that.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Like I said, I just getting back on the road,
get back on my feet and ship like that. And
my my flight struck, crash and died.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So that was enough. I got a life.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But I just it's a whole nother story. But anyway,
so my my, uh, what happened was I learned through that.
I learned through my first plane, just understanding, like how
I learned, just put my going head first. So I
bought a plane, learned about planes. Then gotta found a
pilot and he taught me a lot. I got Blaine
(35:08):
shot the Blaine now he works for a private company
or whatever. And so through that I just learned. And
over time, as I learned, I started sharing. Then I
bought another plane. Then I started getting addicted to them bitches,
and then I had to slow down. So I bought
a seaplane and then I got hey, buck c what's
(35:31):
the what's the sea seaplane plane that land in the water. Oh, oh, seed, Yeah,
that's what that's what I see. That's what I'm saying,
this is educational, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Like that, I'm looking at you, I'm like, man, like
he has a plane, and you see all these people
on the internet talking about all this money they making
everything I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Talking about now, it's the same way I used to
talk about social media twenty years ago and everybody was
like what.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
It's just like you, once you understand what it is,
you can you can you can finesse this whole system
in Life's got to understand it first. If you look
around us every day, shit going on. Only people fucked up?
Is our industry, the entertainment industry, the world's Atlanta is
still popping.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Why uh why is ours messed up the most?
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Because we was leaning on it so much and took
it for granted. I think we took for granted instead
of using it as an ecosystem because we was really
doing great. But we're so busy chasing this over here
that we said fuck this and now that this is
nothing no more, we done left this just like just
like segregation. You know what I'm saying. We did the
same thing with this entertainment shit. So now it's how
(36:37):
our arms reached, but it's too late now for this generation.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
We're so glad that you're here still, you know, to
share these stories even though I know you're reluctant.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, I see, I see.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
Like we really do got to prior stuff out of
you because you got a lot of knowledge.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been front the crib five. Yeah. Yeah,
he from Florida.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I know that's why I would have did it for him,
But I don't do podcasts, and so yeah, I mean
I'm hearing that though.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So come on, let's talk. Let's go.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
All right, let's take it back to Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Can we take it back to Jacksonville? Who was a
little duval growing up?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My parents was more so that was a village.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
So it wasn't just my parents, it was my family,
it was my neighborhood. I'm a product of my environment
in a good way.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know. You know, we get here. Everything bad by Jacksonville,
but I'm one of the good things.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Yeah, I heard it was two sides of Jacksonville when
I when I went one time, they was like, yo,
you cross the bridge.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That bridge across the bridge kind of rough now too,
but it's like it is two sides. There's the college
white boy's side that they party like a motherfucker. Then
you got us the niggas. You know what, it's both
and both. I'm good. You just got to understand both
of them. Yeah, I wanted to go get both. They
told me to go on the other side. They like,
you want to get the good food. You gotta go
(02:09):
overever to the north side. I mean even on the
north side, the good food on the north side, on
the hood.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, hood. So if you want some good food, come
to the hood.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Did you ever explore like music, because I know you
do the music now and I actually love how you
It was organic.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was all organic.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Did you ever have a rapper phase where you was like,
I want to be a rapper?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I mean I was like I was. You got to
think when hip hop came around.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It came around around the town when I was a kid,
so it was like everybody would like we had a
rap in our neighborhood, which was my homeboy. So I
went over his house and we used to listen to rap,
and we used to call it stuff. But it was
just like fun stuff. It wasn't like, this is what
you're gonna do to be famous. Like the only thing
I just knew I was gonna be an entertainer. I
just didn't know how. So whatever was working, and the
(02:57):
thing that worked the most was I was funny.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You know what I'm saying. I was entertaining, So I
just went with that and that's that's where it went.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
But who told who told you, like, man, you're funny, man,
you should really take this serious.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Nobody really it was like a did you like, was
you like the funny the person that was funny, that
joaned on people, cracked on people. Yeah, Almus cracked like
so they Honestly, I was really the bully out of
like it was big. I was the littlest person, but
I was the bully when it came to ranking. You
know what I'm saying, joning what y'all call it. When
(03:30):
I was in when I was in the room, I
used to rank on everybody, So that came organic for me.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And then when I moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
My man he used to be he used to be
with a Hindu Entertainment which Coach K. That's Coach K
was probably the first person I met that was in
the industry when I first moved here, because he was
my man, was signed to them who Hindu who Coach
K worked for?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And he the one the guy.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Matter of fact, it's it's funny how life worked because
the guy that put me on here, he like a
crackhead now on my street right now.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And I'm not saying that in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I'm just saying like sometimes that one person can change
or like that might be the only purpose in life,
that little that little part of the ecosystem switch you
over to make you who you is. So I guess
in a way, if it wasn't for him, I probably
wouldn't because he the one told me to like, man,
let's go up here to the comedy club, you know
what I'm saying. And I went up to the comedy club.
(04:28):
I think I went to Chris Tuckerble. I didn't go up,
and then the next time I went up. So I'm saying, like,
just just that little thing there, he he kind of
instilled that in me. Now that i'm thinking back, yeah,
I mean he made me actually like, man, you could
do that because he was like the man when I
came up too, like he was. I was the man
in high school. He was the man in high school.
(04:49):
So when he left, he went to Atlanta, you know
what I'm saying. And then soon as when I got intwelve,
my first thing was like I got to get out
of Jacksonville. So now that I'm thinking, maybe just made
seeing like him do it, I did it. And then
when I met got there, you know, when you get
it you meet whoever. You know, I saw him, you
know what I'm saying. So I clicked up with him
(05:10):
and are you a little douval yet? No, I didn't
become a little more Rolland you know what I'm saying. Extually,
I'm the nigga from Florida. That's how it was. Like
everybody from Florida linked up. When we first moved to
you knew Florida was like.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
When you know you know what Florida. Yeah, this was
like the nineties, Like this was I moved here in
ninety six.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
So during that during the Olympics, like yeah, freak nigga
was down all but the Olympics at first. That's when
Olympics was here. So I had moved at that time.
So we all clicked up. Everybody from Florida clicked up.
And I didn't start doing comedy until like ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Wow, So what was that first time on stage?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Like nor hosting. He gave you the might recipe, he
gave you the mic, And I think if I wouldn't
have got a laughed out, I probably wouldn't have did it.
I probably wouldn't be doing that once.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I got nobody laughed you would have just been room
that night.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I probably wouldn't have did it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it was all, did you have like a show
prepped or you just went up there?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And I went up there. I had one joke. I
had one joke joke.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I think I said something about they say black people
will make things out another I said, I think it's
Mexican's getting anybody that could take a two or Toyota
turst sell and turn into a pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So that's what my joke was.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And at work that's the only thing I remember off that,
and then from that I had another joke, and everybody
knew me from one joke. One joke rolling, I had
a joke boy T shirts. I was like, and I
was like, man, I'm selling these T shirts. It was
a blank T shirt. You say they cost fifty dollars.
Back then, it ain't nobody paying no fucking fifty dollars
for T shirts. So that shit used to rip. So
(06:46):
those was my jokes, and they just spilled from that,
and I just kept going, kept going, kept going, and
I started incorporating my comedy with music because I always
was like a hip hop a comedian, So I just
enter twine into one and it was always me and it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Here I am.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
How did that lead you to entertainer?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Giving you a shot?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That was I was in.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I did that thing in Oakland. It was some type
of competition out there and I didn't win. But one
of the guys to manage his road manager ship man,
don't get mad and forget your name, can't s shit.
I forgot his name, but he he saw me. He
(07:27):
was like, hey, man said you going on the road,
and he taking up and coming comedians on the road,
and I think you would be good.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So he took me on the road.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Are yet no you still?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I didn't become a little Duval till I did coming
to the stage, And the only reason I did that
was because I got tired of repping my city by
saying like sometimes now I got tired. It was like
it was hard for me to sometimes just say I'm
from Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
So now it was like, you can't help but know
from Duval by seeing my name because everywhere I went
and Florida, like, I was already popular before I got
on Copic coming to the stage because I had from
doing Sedric and doing comic View. So I was the
man in Florida so everywhere I went in Florida, they
was like, that's a little Duval because they knew me
from Duval. So I was like, damn, they know me
(08:16):
from that. I'm finna call myself Duval all over the
world that way. I ain't even gotta I'm still wrapping
my crib and I'm still saying because like if you
listen to my first ship, I used to always say
Duval at the end of the every show. So now
I have to say it no more. As soon as
they said so I knew what I identified from, not
just from Jacksonville, from people from Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They knew off. Then that's inspiration.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Damn, this nigga here from where I'm from. So I
already I had already implemented. And so when I did
come to the stage, I knew. I was like, I'm
gonna call myself Duval from now on, a little Duvault
from now on. That's where it came from.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
You question, I always wanted this was you on coming
to the stage where little JJ was on there.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
No, but that's that goes back to the Mandela effect.
You know what i'mayingbout where they said you think you
remember something, but you really don't like everybody right now?
I think they saw me with Little JJ, but Little
JJ was on there the season before me and he
won and I was on the season athletes see everybody?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Why does everybody think?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Because y'all slow?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Humans are slow humans really all slow, so they don't
realize that, but they think they do. And social media
don't make it no better. So you're thinking you're doing something,
but you really don't. You really don't know yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
We'll be right back with more of a baller alert show.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
When did you meet T?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
I uh like, probably, shit, I don't know when did
When did definitely in all the videos?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Shit, that had to be two thousand and one, two
thousand and.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Two, Yeah, right before because I'm serious came out. He
wasn't like popping popping, but he had a deal, so
I knew around that time when they had dope boys
in the trap and he didn't really pop to trap music.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So I met him through that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I met him just passing by doing shows, and then
he used to come to the Cut uptown at when
we used to do Sunday Night with NAWD, So I
met him through that. So in between all that, we
just used to text through side kick and ship like that. That.
Then then once he got trap music, he blew up,
you know, So we just it was just natural. Like
(10:26):
people think it was like like a lot of stuff
I did was like all right, I I'm gonna get
with this nigga and this would like they think I
blew up from being the hip hop commun and hanging
with Tip, But it wasn't. That was just we was
friends and it's just organic. If anything was Clay through
all that, honestly, because whenever we did shows, Clay would
put me on the host of the concerts, you know
(10:46):
what I'm saying. So he just said make sure you're there.
I made sure I was there and I did them.
You know what I'm saying. It just organically happened. So
that's how that happened.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, because you was in all the music videos at
one at one.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Point because Atlanta was high at the time and I
was here, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Like I said, it was organically happening. It was just
like I was.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I was the young comedian and like like even with Ludacris,
Lucris used to host, used to used to be on
the radio, so he a host the every every Tuesday
Wednesday host the Tues that went to radio person host
and he used to be there. So naturally you just
meet people and through that and that's how we became cool.
So it was just a natural thing at that time.
(11:27):
Everybody Atlanta was bubbling at the time. You know, one
O six and part was popping. So Atlanta had one
on six in Park on lock and I was on
all the videos.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was strategic because I was like, man, how is
he in every video?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Because I was where it was at.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It's just like now, it's just like if you're on
social media right now, if you in the mix of
when everybody was bubbling, you just naturally in it. You
know what I'm saying, and if you know what you're
doing while you're in and you under I just understood
where I was and I capitalized on the same thing
with social media. I understand good off the beginning what
it was, and I just took advantage of it at
(12:03):
the time and understood and that just right now I
reaped the benefits of just being grandfather.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Then I know you're super cool with Charla Mane.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
How did you guys get.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Cool social media? I met him. No, my space. I
just met him. Yeah, I d M him or whatever
was back then. We I was like, because he was
on ozone magazine. I was on Ozone magazine. I did
ten things I'm hating on. He had another little thing
and so I hear them up. I was like, man,
(12:32):
fuck with you to woo. I was like, we need
to link up and do skits. I used to fly
up to New York. I flew up in New York
did the skits. And that was before skits was popping.
We was the one, the first one. The good thing
about social media you can look at all the time
like we was really the first ones to do all
them shit. So we started doing. That's how we built.
(12:54):
And I think the good thing was I never wanted
to be what he wanted to be, and he never
wanted to be what I wanted to be. You know
what I'm saying, Like you see the difference is now
everything is focused on media. So now media is popular.
I don't give a fuck about media. That's why HET
doing these podcasts. That's where all do. That's where that's
(13:14):
what we don't evolved to now, you see what I'm saying.
So it's worked out perfect for in his work and
see it looks like it's but that's really what he
was already.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
It's always been a media person. Just the industry has
moved on to that. So it's it's just been natural.
We've always been still cool to this day. I don't
want to do what the fuck he do.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He don't want to do what I do. It's just
the industry has moved to that.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So and they get to hear you every day on
Donky other day went because he got you in the.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Drop for real.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You see, I don't be I talk this nigga every day.
I don't keep up with what he's doing. We just
talk as friends, you know what I'm saying. And that's
all we are.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Here's here.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
He invented me about some ship that happened in there,
and I vented him some ship.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
We're friends. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't ask him for shit, he don't ask me
for shit.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But listen, that's our friendship is supposed to be, right,
That's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But I mean in this indagey like if you if
you can't use your friends, it's used.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But I don't see it like that. You know, I
like having friends that we ain't.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We wasn't built off of that, you know what I'm saying,
even though actually I guess we was, but we really
wasn't because we just organically did ship.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
So because y'all real friends, like not industry friends, I
think that's kind of what you.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, I'm a bad person to asks about how to
get it, how to do ship, because I do shit organically.
Everything I've done in my career I've actually did because
I want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I moved by my own drum. So I'm the wrong
person to asks when.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It comes to how to make it because if you
go by me, you're probably gonna fuck up because I'm
just doing what I want to do.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Or you probably you probably just not gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
You might not because I mean if you go by
actually you could if you if you follow my by
by my were ideologies of life because I don't move
by business.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I moved by being a genuine person. You know what
I'm saying. You might not make it a billionaire, but
you're gonna be happy in life. Yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
So we was talking off camera about like how the
new generation of comedians, like everybody just doing anything to
make it, and you know, like, what's some advice you
would like really give people, like if.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
They advice for these niggas.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I just I mean, I think we asked for too
much advices, were looking for shit, like words to change shit.
You just felt like everybody looked up to. I didn't
really meet him. I just paid attention, you know what
I'm saying. Like one of the people I looked up to,
my first people looking up to was Deon Sanders because
he was from Florida. You know what I'm saying, Just
(15:45):
identify the same way I'm saying I put a little
dovefall to make people identify identified with him because he
was from a Florida nigga.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And you know what I'm saying. He ain't.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I couldn't play no fucking football. But it's just the
fact that he was from there, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it just gave me hope.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I didn't.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I didn't meet him until I became somebody, you know
what I'm saying. But it's just it gave an instilled
with me. I didn't he didn't tell me, all right,
do this do that. It's just I watched, so I
tell people just watch.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But it's probably annoying, right, like a lot of comedians.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
That I don't mind it. You know what I'm saying,
because once they used to do that. Andrew Shows used
to aggravate the ship out of me about it. That's
why I say, if you want something, you gonna have
to pull it out of me, and it's gonna be
people I give a fuck about. You know what I'm saying,
because I feel like certain people shouldn't get certain ship.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know, I am a fan of you on social
media because you don't give a damn I.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Do, but I do. You know, I do care. I care.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I just you're freely typing.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You're freely that's where your advice is in the tweets.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Those are very good.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I said, I come from an era. I come from
an era of social media where you said what's on
your mind. It's not like a like, I'm not making
a press release now, it's a press release everything you say.
So when I'm talking, I'm just saying what's on my mind.
I'm not saying it's facts, you know what I'm saying.
Just this was on my mind. This is how I feel.
But now we take it there these effects. This is
(17:11):
what you're heard what Duvall said. He said, he said, you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Just I don't know what y'all gonna be offended by.
To y'all offended?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do your team like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Now, I don't care if you get offended, you know
what I'm saying. But I don't know. I'm not saying,
all right, this is gonna really pull them off. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Let's unless I'm just doing it just to be an
asshole and it's just some some non threatning type ship.
But it's never like I'm just like, oh yeah, I'm finna.
I'm finna go go viral, Like I'm not the nigga
that asked about how to go viral, because I really
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean, you do viral stuff?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You do?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Are you still doing the Auntie of the I had.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
To stop doing that because they start banning it because
niggas start handing yeah like somehow yeah man, people, yes,
that ship be that ship was lit niggas.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It was banding the motherfuckers.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
But I do stuff like for the ecosystem, for us,
you know what I'm saying, like when I do stuff,
like my page is mostly for for all of us,
you know what I'm saying, not just when I say Oh,
I'm not just saying like niggas is just an ecosystem
of people that grew up around what what that can
identify with what I'm going through. The conversations, Yeah, conversation
(18:24):
with like the podcast that I'm doing that I really
didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You don't like media, so why are you doing it it?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I mean it's kind of like the people that you trust,
they want me to do it, so I'm gonna do it,
you know what I'm saying. Charlottagnet been trying to get
me to do podcasts since he been doing Brilliandy, which
I don't know how long that's been, that's been since
first started, So trying to get me to do it.
But like that's his lane, you see. Like I said,
(18:57):
that's the media lane. That's never been my lane. But
he been to get me do it. But now ten
fifteen years from everybody doing it, now, I don't want
to do it because everybody doing it. You see what
I'm saying, Like I wonder people if everybody doing it,
I don't want to do it, but they keep forcing
me to do it. So they finally got me do
it while I was laying on my back and I
couldn't do shit else and that was hurt.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So it was him.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Well, Clay actually talked me into doing it, so I
was like, all right, if I do, I do it
with you. It'll be me and Clay. It was supposed
to be me and Clay, and then we got the
check from the niggas.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Then he died then and then so now I'm doing it.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Because it's out of respect of my nigga, Clay and them,
because they could have been took the money back, you
know what I'm saying. So, but at the same time,
that's what happens when you do shit with people that
you fuck with, like with Dolly and Charlotte Mayne them.
So I'm just doing it just out of respect, you
know what I'm saying. And it actually I feel like
(19:52):
they give me a chance to do it how I
want to do it, you know what I'm saying. So
it's just conversation and it's understanding and just let people
pick my brain, you know.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
So you said you.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Got hurt for people who don't know you actually got.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Hit by a car. Oh yeah, yeah, I got hit
by a car. How did you get hit by a car?
Can hit me?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
The motherfucker hit me from the back while I was
in the Bahamas. Mother lady hit me.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You have a lot of near death experiences, Yeah, I
got a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I'll be scared when you be posting your plane.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I ain't gonna lie why because it just looked like
it's just one win away from it.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's just never coming back.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Saying it because because this is why we're ignorant as
a people, because we don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
But listen, all right, So the first time I ever
flew private right right, I was like, where did you
fly yet?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, it was a jet.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
But I was like, I was like, how do people
brag about I was like, I don't like this because
it was like the turbulence.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I don't know, because you.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Know, like it's more turbulence in the commercial flights. I've
had more turbulence. See with me, I don't fly unless
I see the weather perfect, so I don't catch too
much turbulence like I do.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But I don't not as much as I do.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
On the cause you can kind of tell your pol
is like, yo, go this way to avoid this weather.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, you can see the weather on your I got
an app right now. I check the weather all the time,
you know, called for a flight. All of everybody in
aviation use it.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
But I mean I do it too.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That's one of the things I do to to open
our eyes up to understand the aviation because we really
lost and you know, we really really know because the
ship been going on for hundreds of years. When when
planes invented, I got you, you know what I'm saying.
So I mean, and how many niggas y'all know really
got a plane for real?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I don't know anybody, That's my point.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
And we should know because now it's evolving to where
planes can damn them fly theyself now, so we gonna
be handicapped, like while people you know how people have
to catch the bus now rely on the bus. If
you can't fly certain shit, you can't do certain shit.
So I mean we should get into it, you know
what I'm saying. And I mean it ain't for everybody,
but in my business, it makes sense for me because
(21:55):
I travel for a living, so it made sense for
me to give a plane.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, and I always see in the comments, like people
always be like, you're not scared of being on that
little plane and stuff like, I mean, that's what.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's what I used to say.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
But after a while, like I've been flying for like
six years now, so over time now they're starting to
more people like into aviation, not just from watching people
like me and other people like my man Male Mail
the Traveler.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He does acrobatic aerobatic. I don't want to say it wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
He probably it's probably right, the wrong way to say it,
but he make the planes flip and do all that
type of shit, you know what I'm saying. So when
you see people that look like you do it, you
end up doing stuff like that. So that's the only
reason that's I mean, that's one of the reason why
I show it more on my page.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I like when you're posting content like that because it
gives us something.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
You are, what you see you have.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You have one of the rare things that a lot
of comedians don't have. A number one Billboard single.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, that shit was big.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Now when you recorded that record look at my best life,
my bad Yes, smile I could tell and correct me
if I'm wrong. You just had a good ass time
recording that shit.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, I mean, but I always have good times with
All My songs come from something i'm doing or a joke.
So that song came from a joke for me saying
smile bitch on on Twitter and Instagram, you know what
I'm saying, And so I built it off of that.
So and I've always, like I said, I understood how
social media was, and I understood how I was other
songs I was making big just from being me. So
(23:24):
I knew if I could make these songs big, I
could do the same thing with me, you know what
I'm saying. So before that, I did killing with the
shoulders you know what I'm saying shows, and I did
that with Snoop what I'm saying, so.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I like football grease on that ball greas.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So once I did once I did that, I was like, oh, yeah,
this next shit. But I didn't know it was gonna
do as big as it was gonna do. When I
read something, I threw it for like a joke. So
when I go on my shows, I could just put
it in my show. So to me, that's a win
for it all. And so when I did it, I
did it for that I was like, oh nah, this
shit gonna hit, you know what I'm saying. But I
(24:00):
was just gonna hit for like all my fans and
all that. But then when I posted and I started
seeing a thing did I started seeing how I was.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Like, oh nah, this ship Finn changed the world?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Did that ship did curse? But did that change some
things for you? Because music? You were putting music out
but never to this level before it changed in the
way Billboard is really your.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
No, because I was already making money before that. Honestly,
it kind of because people don't know this, I ain't
made a damn from that song?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What what?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, like they I ain't made a damn from that
song yet, So it ain't like I mean not as
far as from the record, you know what I'm saying. Well,
that too, but it was a lot of other stuff.
I don't feel like talking about that because I don't
feel like flexing on the nigga.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Right, Okay, what made you chop off your infamous dreads
because you had those four.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
While it was a headache them bas had them had
a vein going through heavy than a motherfucker man, So
I cut them bitches off.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Listen, But you know, to cut off dreads. It's an experience.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
You got to say, I don't want this shit no
more because it take you a long time to get
them to the length.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It didn't matter.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It ain't got that.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
But you know, you know what though you you it
worked out good for you because some people would cut
their dreads and then they just lose all their hair.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, I did way before that. I was still young.
I did well. My daughter was like two, so yeah,
one or two, yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Yeah, Because I have to say, some people in the hood like, man,
how you were just you just had dreads.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Now now that was over time, like because most people
when you catch me, like say fences, I don't know
how to y'all. But like if you was in your thirties,
you probably caught me when I had dreads. Then you
start living life and the next thing you know, you
see me without dreads. You like, hold up, I thought
they had dreads. So but in that miss the time.
That's been ten years, so you'll see when ten years
(25:53):
down the line, people still thinking about you from ten
years from now.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
You're right about that.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
So who would you say, who would you say? Your
your top comedian is all right now?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Like in the game or do you even care? I
don't care, man, I don't care, but I go with it.
Jay Ski money bag, MAFIYEA have to tip them? Yeah?
Who else the top?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I'm trying to think of people that I know funny
but don't get enough looks. J. J. Williamson. That's the
That's one of the funniest niggas that people don't know. J.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Williamson.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah, he on the radio out there in Dallas, d
D in the morning. I wish you would have told
me it was gonna ask me this before this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Who else? Erica duchess?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
The type of duchess?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah? And Green?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now that's my boy. I like, I like that funny.
Now I do want to talk about some kind.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Of deep because that's my guy too. Okay, we lost
our guy, Clay. Yeah, I've no Clay for a very
long time.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I know that hits you hard too, because was he
your day to day manager.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
He was more than my manager. He was like my
older brother.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Okay, so a lot of people lost business stuff, but
I lost like an older brother.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
And Clay was a good guy man Like. It's hard
to find people like that in this business, you know what.
I mean, I said all the time, like you find
genuine people like you got to keep them close because you.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Know how this business are.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Everybody act like they want to be your friends, that
act like they want to help you and stuff like that,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Just it's really rare to find good people in this business.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah it is. But he was one of the good ones,
so that's why. That's why. But the good thing about it,
I never.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Took him for granted, so and I always gave him
his flowers while he's here.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So that's how. You got to never take nobody you
love for granted, right.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I like that We the ones tour on right.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Now, Yep, all of us on that bitch.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We're showing how comedians can do their thing and show
love and kill that bitch all in one. It's more
than a comedy show. It's like a comedy concept. You know,
we have a comedy a comedy party.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
How'd you get the call for that?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It's something we always had in the making sense. Like
the promoter I've been doing business with for like years,
you know what I'm saying. He a little younger than me,
but he always been doing this thing. So around when around,
when smile bitch came along, we had an idea. It
was like, yeah, we're gonna do something, be the next way,
you know what I'm saying, And so it just evolved
(28:26):
into this, and I mean it's took a time because
with twenty twenty and all that stuff there, then I
got hit by cards, so it's took a time. But
now it's finally here and we've been selling out everywhere
and it's been great.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Everybody getting along backstage.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, we have a great time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Like anybody scared to going after certain.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
After you, no, Actually it's like because honestly, I was
supposed to be going last, you know what I'm saying,
But like it's really me honestly, But but they they
don't go they don't hesitate to go up after me.
And like if I do have to go, let like
we rotate. Honestly, like certain cities I do last, like
in Florida. There's no way, you know what I'm saying,
(29:04):
But like certain certain times and certain cities, I go last.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But if they go last, like we have. The main
thing is staying on time.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I'm staying your time because no matter how funny you are,
if you go over your time, it's after if it's
six of us, it's gonna be like three hours. So
last thing you're gonna it's gonna be a long time.
So you want to respect your time. And it's honestly,
the person that take the longest is probably met. Yeah,
so I'll be taking he sometimes, like I tell him,
I'm sorry. Shout out to d Ray because Deray he
headline a lot, and you know, God, Derail fun.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Him mother, hilarious.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
He wanted the greats for real last like joke for joke.
Ain't too many people fucking with de Ray. So for
Deraady to go last after all of us, and just
for anybody to go after me, it's a lot. Because
I do music, comedy, I do it all. You're out
there performing, yeah, I tap dance.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You know, I think there's any another comedian that can
go joke for joke for you in the ranking section session.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I don't rank like that, no more.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I don't even have like a I don't don't really
think about it like that because.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So you're you're deactivated, you're deactivated in that in that area.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I just do what I do, man.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I don't like honestly, I pulled back to a lot
because I feel like I can hurt people feelings I like.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I like to pull back, Like a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Of times I spell niggas for real man because I'm
an older niggas, so a lot of stuff that don't
hurt me can kind of make another motherfucker, like get
on the ledge or something. So I let people talk shit.
I give people jokes together on me. I do it
all the time, especially on social media.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I don't care what you say about me. You know
what I'm saying. So I have to be conscious of
what I see about the other people.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Because I was gonna ask you this those my next question.
Do you care about what people say about your cousin? No,
I really viral sometimes in a negative way.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I really don't let.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Me going crazy sometimes sometimes I don't take.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It personal with the women because I know they don't
get it.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You feel like you got a lot of female fans, though.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I do.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
When it's all the time. My big haters be black women.
But my biggest supporter is this black women. You know
what I'm saying, Like they the one showed me the
most loved you know what I'm saying. So I don't.
I don't have a problem with it. You know what
I'm saying, It's just women being women.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Do you read?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Do you read the comments?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Sometimes?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, but they'd be entertaining me. Like it takes a lot,
It takes everybody. It takes other people to tell me like, man,
you need to delete that, or something like Robin or
maybe Clay used to like.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Does he ever tell you deleting?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
No charlamage be the one putting the battery in your
back ship. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
But like me, I don't be like I said, I
don't know what they're offended by until like it'd be
like two three hours later and I'm looking at my name,
I'm like, what the fuck? Like they made it. It
don't be hitting me like that because they read it.
You gotta think when you're reading something, you're reading in
your in your mind, not in my mind. So like
if you having a bad day, you and your man
(31:56):
and guy in the argument and then talking about bitches,
ain't sit this, nigga. Ain't this mother Collins bitch? You
take it personal? But so I don't. Never, I haven't
been on it longer than anybody. I can show you
my page. Run I get death threats, I get everything.
None of that shit bothered me. I might be people
be sending you death threats. I don't got death threats
(32:16):
longer than y'all. How old are you?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Thirty? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
How long?
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Let me see waits, there's no way you've been getting
death threats that long.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Shit. You say thirty, since you've been about ten at.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
Least it's maybe two.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, But I don't take it like like I don't know,
maybe because I'm older, so I always looked at social media.
That's why it was hard for me to understand cyber bullying.
I'm like, how can you be mad? How can this
person bully you on the internet.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
From a device?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, I never understood that. Now I get it because
people in their head more so than I am. So,
but it's never bothered me. I've never got knocked off
my school on social media.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
We will be right by, stay tuned with more of
the ball or alert show.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I do want to ask you, because you know, you're
just like a ball of energy. You always energize the
people and stuff like that. But I know sometimes little
Duvault may have a bad day. You don't never have
a bad day. Does anything stress you or anything like that. No, okay,
answer this, then, how what's the mental space that you're
(33:27):
in to be like that?
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Come from programming? I program myself like this over time.
That's why I say there's conversations. We just talking to
our ass catch fire. It's what you do every day
is who you are. You know, we all are creatures
of habit. So by me every day, over time, I
progressed into the person that you'all see right now. So
whoever you're trying to be, you got to progress into
(33:50):
that strategically and understand your programming. Understand the programming that
you are already in and reprogramming. You know what I'm saying,
and be real with yourself and know like I didn't
start getting smart till I accept it how dumb I was.
So once you accept how dumb you up, you you
move forward because you know I can't. I can only
(34:13):
get better, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
So I appreciate you spending some time.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
Yeah, we appreciate you for stopping by.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yo, I got I got another question too. So how
did you get this plane?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I bought it?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
What'd you buy?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I bought? Well? This is my I got three planes?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
You have three planes?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah? I bought my first plane. I landed. As soon
as I landed, the PDK, that bitch cut off.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Do you fly your own plane?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah? I do, well I haven't later because I got
a pilot and that.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Like I said, I just getting back on the road,
get back on my feet and ship like that. And
my my flight struck, crash and died.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So that was enough. I got a life.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But I just it's a whole nother story. But anyway,
so my my, uh, what happened was I learned through that.
I learned through my first plane, just understanding, like how
I learned, just put my going head first. So I
bought a plane, learned about planes. Then gotta found a
pilot and he taught me a lot. I got Blaine
(35:08):
shot the Blaine now he works for a private company
or whatever. And so through that I just learned. And
over time, as I learned, I started sharing. Then I
bought another plane. Then I started getting addicted to them bitches,
and then I had to slow down. So I bought
a seaplane and then I got hey, buck c what's
(35:31):
the what's the sea seaplane plane that land in the water. Oh, oh, seed, Yeah,
that's what that's what I see. That's what I'm saying,
this is educational, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Like that, I'm looking at you, I'm like, man, like
he has a plane, and you see all these people
on the internet talking about all this money they making
everything I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Talking about now, it's the same way I used to
talk about social media twenty years ago and everybody was
like what.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
It's just like you, once you understand what it is,
you can you can you can finesse this whole system
in Life's got to understand it first. If you look
around us every day, shit going on. Only people fucked up?
Is our industry, the entertainment industry, the world's Atlanta is
still popping.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
Why uh why is ours messed up the most?
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Because we was leaning on it so much and took
it for granted. I think we took for granted instead
of using it as an ecosystem because we was really
doing great. But we're so busy chasing this over here
that we said fuck this and now that this is
nothing no more, we done left this just like just
like segregation. You know what I'm saying. We did the
same thing with this entertainment shit. So now it's how
(36:37):
our arms reached, but it's too late now for this generation.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
We're so glad that you're here still, you know, to
share these stories even though I know you're reluctant.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, I see, I see.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
Like we really do got to prior stuff out of
you because you got a lot of knowledge.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
When is the book coming you? Are you ever gonna
write one?
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Or Yeah, Charlamagne was just talking about that, but like
I probably will later.
