What's up? It's your boy Sleepy West and we back with another self-analyzation. Yeah!
Tuning in right now. Always stay golden as we should.
You know, another nice day, another nice life. Let's live it as we should.
Guess today I was really giving a little summary of movies since now's a lot.
(00:24):
Might make a whole nother episode. But for right now, I'll see where I can go
and where this stops. and, you know, what some of my favorite movies are that
may shape character, style, and how I carry myself here.
You know, first one I'll go with because I played this movie so many times.
I laughed, had fun, and sang. Fighting Temptations.
(00:44):
Swing down the street, won't you? Let me ride, oh.
Swing down the street, won't you? Let me ride, oh. Rock and roll, rock and roll.
From the knees of the sun. my son.
Swing low, swing low, and let me ride.
Why won't you let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride?
(01:06):
I say that because, you know, I grew up, family, you know, was very Christian-based,
you know, very, you know, leading God, I believe in Jesus.
And I carried on piece of the idea, so I had to decipher it in my own little,
you know, course of me, you know, time to, pretty much, but,
you know, that movie kind of resonated in different levels and,
(01:28):
you know, the story and how.
They brought her back to grace, you know, even though they feel like she fell
for grace, she was still, she's still up there, you know, the angelic voice
is still there, the gift is still there.
But I guess in that moment, you know, I'm using it to uplift the church,
you know, the people around, which was a pretty cool movie that I enjoyed growing.
(01:50):
So that was one of the, you know, barbershops, you know, the series.
First one was Hell of a Noon, I'll tell you that much. that's
the problem y'all cast today y'all don't
know nothing sit there watch too much tv
listen to all this jiggery i say
that movie is hilarious but with the
(02:12):
funniness and the truth that comes with it
it's also like moral being still throw
like gents in there you start thinking about certain things like
that i ain't even look at it like that or it's like
you know maybe i don't want to be like that you know like this wrestle
over here the entrepreneur the man who's running a
shop and hopes to you know pass on for business to somebody and so you know
(02:35):
that was a heavy influence friday and friday is like that too it's funny laugh
it's about true stuff you know true stuff we swear growing up you know saying
the knuckleheads we had to deal with.
Find a way to maneuver around some of these you question like i don't want to
fight this at all, like a deep on his rest in peace well well.
(03:03):
Rest in peace but Bunny Mac, see you later not like we the old kidding but,
movie make you laugh, teach you stuff, you know like,
They had to fight another day. I don't know if I would've do that still.
(03:24):
But that, in its own, was like, less of like, yo, you can do this part, lose it all.
You can do this, and really make up tomorrow to go about your day, if you like.
And be free, and still have your liberties and freedoms that you do.
Stuff like that was, you know, put in some movies and stuff.
(03:47):
I think this is a good summary Synopsis Of where I can go Um What other juice No.
Sip the juice I got enough to go around And don't take place at 10,
You know what I mean Like because I thought I would be doing just Turning tables,
(04:12):
mixing and scratching But I realized that was for a
certain time technology events and it still can't be
done with the technology because it was in our comment right
because it was like it wasn't really
around when i was coming up i was coming up technology events nobody
mixing and scratching we making blends and playlists
at this point i mean a whole nother tier i
(04:35):
was like well scratch that out the picture and
then you know just looking at friends growing
up with each other just the falling outs you know it relates to real life you
know you grow up people and just have big falling outs as people change circumstances
change so movies like that do teach stuff like that as well,
(04:59):
that's what I'm saying yeah.
I'm going to go back to Friday though let me see if I can do the journey I mean,
this is all to my text unique.
Win some, lose some. You live, live to fight another day. Now you thinking,
man, what that gonna be? Man, what up?
(05:20):
Yeah, just wanted to try that, throw that in there. So, you know,
that's a good line-up, little list of what I've been jumping into. Now.
Movies that I don't like, I've seen, so that's a good topic.
And now it's all about stuff I watch at a different level I don't know I say
(05:41):
this and I'm looking and I'm like and I watch delivers and emails and this shit is funny.
Hilarious I'm like I'll come up for a set I would probably have to learn football
that probably keep me in line though probably some of you need this so I can't complain on that online,
(06:04):
no significant difference uncompromised Well, this will find compromise,
so I'm not taking it away from you, but I'll give you the view before you even care for me. I'm sorry.
Out of respect and peace and jokes I don't need to be attacked I don't need
to pull up Coming character That's my old head up It's a good movie I don't doubt so much.
(06:33):
Where's tonight Oh Delia She got a scene here That's why I got her And it's
a great movie Great story you know what I'm saying,
I'll be doing it I'll be mentioning that they have the theme here I'm like I
should have been tapped just because of it a lot of stuff,
(06:57):
ain't happening so much I'm thinking about it it's like a movie head used to
collect the DVDs and the cases now we just got downloaded the streams we subscribing now.
How many people know about blockbuster how many how many
(07:18):
people know what netflix used to just send the dvd
this do an envelope for you to watch and send it yeah all right let's see and
then there's also cool things i want i do like on dc animated series stuff i
do like the movies such that i've made sure you know add blood and all the type of stuff so i'll sum it
(07:41):
know i'm generalizing but this is something i can explain so i'll make this
like a summary piece and i do like this on an animation movie however it was
in now it was held the last time this,
romantic amazing i enjoyed that when i was too even he got my roots around here that movie was.
(08:03):
Yeah, my dog kind of went lost to me. I'm going to go back, man. Go back, man.
Go up the lane like the Fast and Furious series.
We all love those. You know what I'm saying?
Do want to go back. Oh, more money. You know what I'm saying?
Let the millionaires and let the Rockies, you know, the money talks.
Yeah, we start hitting some lists. We got some guys with Beverly Hill Coughs.
(08:27):
You know what I'm saying? We got Blue Street.
We got some movies. I was on it, son. I was like, yeah.
I just clicked. Oh, Trader Dan. We did watch Trader Dan.
What are you doing? What is this? Shame? For no shame?
(08:49):
Damn, what is this? Trader Dan? What? You know what?
I apologize. You know, for much of an accident. I should have waited until I had the name right.
When I come back and damn sure I
mean well it's a lot of wait for
the job there Oh and a couple breath hall of night cool you know this like whoa
(09:16):
nice I guess I felt like fingers I was building in the body mall baby America
pretty reasonable thing,
And yeah, definitely the bad boy thing.
I also got the bad boy series. And then some, I was thinking about my name.
(09:36):
And let me do that. It's nice. Set it up. Yeah.
And then society. What's that do?
Oh, I'm going to be going right now. And I forgot to mention how much I do love Russia.
Oh, my God. action in common the combination and the duo the Chris Tucker and
(10:00):
the Jackie Chin you can't stop that like I've been laughing you know the whole
series had me dying from one little death.
10? All right, come on, we was looking for you all day. Come on.
Damn, no wonder why you mad. Yeah, all these movies that took my attention were,
(10:23):
you know, stuff was in film or, you know, like, half beats either for the stoners
and stuff or how high I'm doing.
It was a lot. It was a lot. And then there was, like, also stuff in between
that I think I wouldn't want to enjoy and then I enjoy it in a weird way and
it'd be like, I gotta look at all this stuff like this is creepy people watch
Joyride that was what the.
(10:46):
There's therefore trying to deceive and go back to what I was saying trying
to see like oh where you was playing around you playing around oh nah I'm a
dog this is not a Joyride at all,
and how can I not forget to mention you know the Marvel movies
(11:09):
and stuff you know the world had others a ton i didn't
watch the list i don't even know where to start or
even diamonds that's why i kind of generalized it and i was like this is a topic
if i want to go in going i'd have to over time just and then you know blueprinting
more better where going in debt but just a brief summary of you know the type
(11:32):
of movies i watch what type I think something is.
Oh, soul man. That's true. Right. That came to my mind.
Good thing I'm listening to now. I mean, how they coming? Yeah,
they coming in. I'm saying Jackson killing it.
Whoa, strange attention. I'm your puppy.
(11:52):
Now I'm doing something else. You want me to? Because I'm your puppy.
John, I'll let you kill that part. I don't want to try. I ain't going to butcher myself.
I don't want to overdo it there. No, no.
(12:14):
Dead down when I was a kid. I don't know. I don't go back to see how good the
movie was. I didn't know the stuff like that.
And then ATL rolled out.
You know, that's my, you know, see how I be. My legs are all shaking already. I start raining.
Start moving and spinning and be on my swing.
(12:43):
Word you ain't gotta be a dope boy to got ah toast
that out hold on give me a second chance you ain't gotta be a dope boy to money
there you go all right see i did that see i didn't want to ah no don't knock
yourself keep it going keep trying like i said earlier the effort even if i I failed.
(13:04):
Can't discredit that for it. That's why we put it up on people like,
boy, boy, where you been? I ain't seen you in a while.
And then there's also, you know, cool family movies, you know,
Johnson and Ferry Vacation is probably there.
Yeah, you know, you sit down, sneeze, nephew, kids, laugh, joke.
(13:27):
And pretty much it's,
fun i don't know what was the second you know took me on the show so those
movies you know sending a positive message and
a positive light and you can relate to it with the kids you know relationship
you have between parent child you know your stands and things around that and
(13:48):
how that winds up you know then you know now to being older or going back like
this it's not Not even my time. I was just a moody head.
But back to the future. Had my mind in circles. I was up. Like, what the hell?
I never seen nothing like this. Messed up the whole timeline.
Hand to the future. Oh, no. You go back and try to fix this. Doc.
(14:15):
Feeling pretty, pretty cool. Then I got still going on, like, the comedy side.
You know, you got stuff out there. Like, I'm going to get you sucked.
Or don't be an ennis to South Central while sipping on gin and juice.
Stuff like that had me rolling as a kid. Like, what is this?
I don't think I'm about to jump into a serious hood movie. Just got real funny on it. Quick.
(14:39):
And I understand the references. That right there be the message.
But pretty much the whole summary of the tapes of the things I watch.
You know, it's a little sporadic because it's overtime and different things,
the phases of my life and what I was watching, what was out and what wasn't out.
So that was really a summary of that. So I had to, you know,
(15:02):
really drop that on them real quick.
But it's your boy Sleepy West. This is another episode of Self Analyzation. And I'm locking it in.
