Of course, Love Supreme is a production of iHeartRadio.

0:05

What's up, y'all? We're back with part two. Of course Love

0:07

Supreme with the legendary Ice Tea. Yep, Ice

0:09

gave it so much game we decided to make this a two

0:11

part or so. It makes sense, you know, because ICE's

0:14

Daily Game is a new podcast where he offers

0:16

daily wisdom. Make sure y'all check out part

0:18

of one. We'll we talk about Ices upbringing his music,

0:20

and here's part two where I see to gives us

0:22

a sample of that Daily Game. All

0:24

right? Of course Love Supreme Part two with the legendary

0:27

Ice Tea.

0:30

How easy was it? And transitioning

0:32

to acting, like did

0:34

it take long for Mario

0:37

to convince you to do New Jack City? You

0:39

got great questions because first

0:42

off, I'm not

0:45

no motherfucking acting like I mean,

0:47

everybody looks at TV goes I

0:49

wish I could do that, But who has a chance

0:51

to do it? You know? So I've been in the breaking

0:53

movies and the breaking movies. I was called featured

0:56

rap talker. How about that? Right? They

1:00

didn't even know what a rapper was? Right? So

1:04

you heard the story about New Jack City? Well,

1:06

I know about George Jackson's coining

1:09

the term, but please, please

1:11

please. I'm in a

1:13

toilet stall in

1:16

a club and some niggas is

1:18

talking shit to me in the toilet, I'm taking

1:20

a shit. I'm sitting there, and

1:23

motherfucker's was like, ice you cold man,

1:25

you'll be telling this that. I say, your

1:27

player. The problem is that they could take

1:29

a microscope and find one molecule

1:32

in my body that gave a fuck, then

1:34

they'd have a chance. But there's

1:36

not one. And so Mario overhears

1:39

that and says, whoever said that? If

1:41

are my movie? Whoever said that? And

1:44

it was me. So I'm

1:47

in the club campaigning to

1:49

three girls, right, I'm

1:51

I'm talking this ship to these chicks, and

1:54

Mario comes up with the Hollywood bullshit.

1:56

I'm producing a movie. I want you to be

1:58

in it. I'm like that some bullshit

2:01

like you trying to let these girls know you're a producer.

2:04

Yeah, Mario don't. Yeah,

2:06

but I knew quest. You know the

2:08

Hollywood bullshit when somebody walks

2:11

up in the middle of your conversation with

2:13

somebody, Hey, we should work like shut the

2:15

fuck up, like you can find me

2:17

if you want to work like this is so

2:20

stage. So I'm like, okay,

2:22

ladies, this is Mario Van People's Dotty

2:24

Dotty. But he wasn't

2:27

lying, so

2:29

he hands me a card. So he calls me call

2:32

Warner Brothers tomorrow. So I call it. They

2:34

say come up here and blow. I come on this. I

2:37

come through the gates. I get there

2:39

and they show me the script. They want you to

2:41

play Scottie. I read

2:43

that shit quest. I was like, yo,

2:46

this is all the words, like I

2:49

thought it was a cameo. Nah, nah, this is

2:51

a star. I'm like, I can't

2:53

act, Yes, you can. I

2:55

keep reading this. Niggas

2:58

the Police, Yeah

3:02

yeah, I got an album coming out called Original

3:04

Gangster. You Wann't play Police? Wait a

3:06

minute? Hoh whad he got dreads? I

3:08

got a firm like everything.

3:12

So I'm just totally like, na,

3:15

no, I can't do this. But then I

3:17

talked to people and they were like, man, if you fuck

3:20

up this. Back at the Beauty

3:22

Parliament where I got most of my game, I had

3:24

this hairdresser named Pearl and

3:26

she said, you niggas running around here talking about

3:29

no opportunities, no opportunities,

3:31

and here's one, and you're gonna turn this

3:34

down if you turn this down, you're

3:36

a real live sucker, because this is a great opportunity.

3:39

Niggas know you ain't the police, nigga,

3:41

you better go up in there and do that gig

3:43

and then I'll talk to my boys. They're like I

3:45

said, man, they want me to play the police, and niggas be

3:47

like, word can,

3:49

I'll be in the movie. That's all they

3:54

So I

3:56

did the movie, and I was scared

3:58

shitless that it was going to end my career

4:01

because at that time, no rapper

4:04

had taken a dramatic role. Yet hold

4:06

on, hold on, hold on, hold hold on,

4:08

hold on, hold on, No, he's right, he

4:11

is right Smith. The

4:14

only thing run DMC did tougher than

4:16

leather and all that old

4:18

ship acting like somebody

4:20

else does not. Nobody

4:23

was the first. I told you,

4:25

I'm on my first ship. Usually

4:28

the first one who's the pioneer never gets

4:31

the just desserts that the person that comes

4:33

behind them does. So that is

4:36

risky that you want to be first. But I

4:38

always see history as the second person

4:42

that masters it. But I did

4:44

it, POC did it. Everybody started doing

4:46

it back in the day when when

4:50

being a rapper like you want to act

4:52

like you was betraying the culture, like

4:55

you. It wasn't. It just wasn't. At

4:57

that time, rappers wasn't even owning their

4:59

own label. It was like rappers were very

5:02

in its own zone. So they

5:04

got me, They got Chris Rock, who

5:07

is the newest underground. You

5:09

know. Kat Wesley had only done two movies,

5:11

Major League and a Spike Lee flot so

5:15

they didn't trip off this. They didn't

5:17

have enough black actors to make the movie.

5:22

Now we could do Black Panther. There

5:24

were not enough young black

5:26

actors that had any potential

5:29

to pull a crowd. So they said iced

5:31

tea selling millions of records, right,

5:34

you know, and Alan Payne and Vanessa

5:37

Williams couldn't have done it alone, right,

5:39

Astley Wesley.

5:42

So they used the power of

5:44

the rapping Me and Chris being hot on the

5:47

street, George Jackson and Doug

5:49

McKenny. They put us in the row, and

5:51

uh, the shit popped

5:53

off. I was scared as fuck. The movie

5:56

made eighty seven million dollars. I got

5:58

paid twenty five thousand dollars. Wow.

6:02

So by the time you get the trespass

6:04

and surviving the game and surviving again, Yeah,

6:06

that's my favorite Ice Team movie that's surriving

6:08

game is the one

6:11

about this the second movie with Ricochet

6:13

with Denze

6:16

Can I ask how how is

6:20

Hollywood? Because the thing is now it's

6:22

nothing for rappers

6:24

like for people to pivot into other areas and

6:26

other mediums. But

6:29

how's the reception to you coming

6:32

into their territory? Hollywood?

6:35

Simple? If if the movie you're in makes money,

6:37

you're gonna be in another movie. That's his Hollywood.

6:39

It's like his money. It's pimpant. If this whole

6:41

can make me some money here, maybe you can make me some

6:43

money there. They don't. They don't care. You

6:45

know. Uh, they can't really tell

6:48

what great acting is. They can

6:50

tell what the fan response is,

6:52

so they that works

6:54

cool. So you know, New Jack

6:56

City was a hit in comes some scripts.

6:59

Let's see if he could do it again. So I walked

7:01

into Joe Silver's office, one of the biggest

7:03

producers, and I said, okay,

7:05

New Jack City. They fucked me right, but

7:07

I know I'm about to get paid. I'm with Denzel's

7:10

about to get paid that. The motherfucker looked

7:12

at me and said, Ice Tea, You've

7:14

done one movie.

7:18

So I bent over and took it again I got

7:23

for for for Ricochet,

7:26

I got twice what I got for New

7:28

Jack City, and I didn't work as much.

7:31

My pay day didn't come till I did Tank Girl

7:34

where I played the roup lo

7:38

Where was that in the Surviving the game? Trustpad, I'm

7:40

trying to remember tank I'm where it was and it

7:42

was tank Girl Surviving the Game. Then I

7:45

Girl did

7:47

Johnny Knewmonic with Keanu Reeves,

7:49

and then I did I was doing Johnny Numonic

7:52

with Keanu Reeves and they called me, they

7:54

say, will you play a stripper in Arizona.

7:57

I'm like, hell yeah, this is my

7:59

chance to hella what it looked like.

8:03

I was on slow. You've seen a riginal gangster

8:05

posters, so I was on my bullshit. So that

8:08

night I did like a thousand crunches. I'm like,

8:10

I'm about to let these ladies know what's happening.

8:12

Right. So the next day

8:14

they sent me a picture of a kangaroo. I'm

8:17

like, what the fuck am I stripper? Like? I opened

8:19

my pouch like, what the fuck is this?

8:22

And they know it's a ripper. It's a kangaroo.

8:25

And the movie's called tank Girl, right

8:28

because you played a mixture. Yeah, you was a

8:31

right. You

8:34

gotta understand. I'm with Keanu Reeves

8:37

doing a big motion picture. Now they're telling

8:39

me to do something called tank Girl as

8:41

a kangaroo. Ye, Like, can y'all

8:43

at your motherfucking mind? Like what's really good?

8:46

And then they told me how much I was gonna get

8:50

and uh, I was hopping around the

8:53

hotel, you

8:56

know, because they're like, when you sell out?

8:58

I see, selling out is when something

9:00

is totally against your beliefs, right

9:03

when they can make you be quiet. I

9:05

have nothing against fucking kangaroos. I have nothing

9:08

at all against them. So I was like, fuck this,

9:10

I'll be a motherfuck kangaroo and I

9:13

got a bag for that. That's the first mill

9:15

plus role. I'll

9:18

say that. You know, America's now just

9:21

adapted to festival

9:23

lifestyle, but you know, you're

9:25

a pioneer and the fact that you were one of the very

9:28

first acts on Lallapalooza, which

9:30

is really America's first

9:32

true

9:36

I mean, I mean, besides you

9:38

know, farm Aide or you know whatever,

9:41

but what was

9:43

that the experience of Lollapaluza, Like

9:45

especially that first year where all

9:48

this stuff was brand new to American culture.

9:50

There's always a story behind Ice t Ship.

9:53

But I like people to know so they can get a true

9:55

understanding how this game is, because

9:57

it's not as simple as that. Ernie

10:00

body Count was now just starting.

10:02

We were we were playing like pizza joints

10:04

and just getting getting a vibe for what

10:06

this band was. And Ernie

10:09

had met Perry Farrell. Right,

10:12

Harry Carroll was doing a video

10:14

called The Gift where he wanted

10:17

someone to sing Nigga Whitey with him.

10:19

Slides sone shit, yeah

10:22

right. So Ernie says,

10:25

Iced Tea, Iced Tea's hardcore.

10:27

This is the perfect person. So I come

10:30

to the video shoot. I know the song.

10:32

I got no problem singing it with him, and

10:34

we sang nigga Whitey backup, gonna call me

10:37

nigga Whitey, Don't call me whitey nigga.

10:39

So we doing this shit. So after

10:41

we did the video, he says, Ice,

10:43

I'm about to do a tour called

10:45

Lollapalooza. It's gonna have

10:48

butthole Surfers, Rollins

10:50

band. He was naming bands he wanted to get

10:53

and he said, I want to take a rapper out, would

10:55

you like to go? I'm

10:58

like, hell, yeah, hell

11:00

yeah. So what happened was I

11:03

had an hour set fifty

11:05

five minutes set, and then they said you

11:07

could do whatever you want, and I split the set

11:09

and I did half iced tea half body Count.

11:11

That's where I introduced body Count to the world.

11:14

And after I would do my rap set,

11:16

I said, now I'm about to prove to you that

11:19

rock and roll has nothing to do with color.

11:21

It's a state of mind. And we

11:23

turned the guitars up and blow and that

11:26

was it. You ain't

11:28

want to remind them rock and rolls aren't some gonna

11:30

jump anyway. So well, you know, hip

11:33

hop is rock, whether people want to claim

11:35

it or not. You don't aren't be the mic. We rocked

11:37

the mic, We rocked the house. Rock.

11:40

See, pop is when you sing

11:42

what everybody wants to hear. This is what I

11:45

learned this from Quincy Jones. Pop is

11:47

easy to do. Sing what people want to hear. Go

11:49

to school, love your mother, Da da

11:51

da. That's pop. Be popular. Rock

11:54

is fuck that. I'm gonna do

11:56

this shit my fucking way.

11:59

That's rock. Now, whether you do that with

12:01

pianos, whether you do that with guitars, or you

12:03

do that with a mic. Or some drums. Hip

12:06

hop is rock period,

12:08

all right. I know, I know

12:10

you've been asked a trillion

12:13

times about the cop killer

12:15

incident, but why no,

12:18

No, I know, but you know, I also feel like that doesn't

12:20

define you, especially

12:23

now. But you know, you know what it

12:25

is though. You only get stripes for

12:27

fighting battles, you know what I'm saying. So I'm

12:29

very proud of my battles, you

12:31

know, because that

12:35

was a moment where I

12:37

could have got taken out, you

12:39

know, like not even just

12:42

my career. They were trying to get rid of a nigga,

12:44

you know. That's what I want to know, Like, how serious?

12:47

How rare did he get? The worst

12:49

ship was bomb threats to Warner Brothers where

12:51

they had to clear the building on several occasions,

12:54

or what they were threatening

12:56

to blow up Warner Brothers and

12:58

they had to clear the build holding on several

13:00

occasions on account of me because they

13:03

were getting bomb threats.

13:06

Yeah, it got heavy.

13:07

Um who's

13:10

threatening because we're talking about the authority,

13:12

So who is the threat? That's an interesting part.

13:14

This is something you gotta understand with beef.

13:17

If you create beef, you might

13:19

not have problems with the people you're beefing

13:21

with you have a problem with outside of let's

13:24

say hypothetically, I

13:27

gotten a beef with let's say method man, who's

13:29

one of my good friends. I ain't gotta worry

13:31

about running the meth. I could run into some wu

13:33

tang things. I could run into somebody

13:36

who who who loves him

13:38

at a restaurant. I could run into some girls

13:40

that fuck you ice. It can happen. So

13:43

when you just the cops, you can run into somebody

13:45

whose brothers a cop, an X cop,

13:47

somebody who's just you

13:50

set up energy of beef out

13:52

there. You don't know where it's gonna You never just

13:54

beefing with one person, Yeah right, you're

13:56

beefing with their fans,

13:58

right every fucking so

14:01

I was, you know when we did cop Killer

14:04

and they made it a big thing by it becoming

14:06

so public, it gave more people

14:08

a chance to dislike me. You

14:11

know, it wasn't a small thing. It went

14:13

national. Now you gotta understand

14:15

its levels of news, Like

14:18

all this shit's on the black blogs, that's

14:21

nigga news. That's that news. You

14:23

you ain't gonna know about that, But when it

14:26

makes it to CNN, that's national news.

14:28

Follow what I'm saying. So a lot of this I

14:31

gotta do it. I gotta do a parallel, folks. It's kind

14:33

of like, well, Kerann, I gotta do the white

14:35

parallel because we can't just do nigga news. We gotta do

14:37

cracker news too. So yeah, I just

14:39

yeah, okay, I got you though. But

14:42

the certain blogs that we listened to,

14:44

yes, right, yes, if

14:47

you talk to somebody in the mainstream,

14:49

they have no idea that such

14:51

and such as beat or they

14:53

don't know about that stuff. TMZ

14:56

starting to leak a little bit of our business

14:58

out there. But you who's cheating

15:00

on who? They don't care that makes

15:03

money? Right? National news

15:05

is coming on right after the war, and uh,

15:07

you know Ukraine, Warren

15:10

Roukane, now I see you and Warner

15:12

Brothers. This is now. Now you're in front

15:14

of the world. This is big shit. So

15:17

you gotta know, like a lot of the stuff

15:19

that we take as

15:21

big isn't really that big. It's kind

15:23

of like cultural, you know,

15:25

and it hasn't really made it to the to

15:28

the main stream. This ship was big. The

15:30

President was on my bumper, you

15:32

know, we were let me date myself.

15:35

We were playing techno bowl quest

15:40

and my boy comes downstairs,

15:42

like, yo, the president is on TV talking

15:45

about ice and we ran

15:47

upstairs and Quail

15:50

so the ice to you. So Quail's

15:54

like ice to you, And

15:56

all the homies in the house was like, oh

15:59

shit, oh

16:01

shit, oh shit. See,

16:03

very few people will ever

16:05

have a living president say their

16:08

name and anger. That's saved

16:10

for like terrorists and been laden

16:12

and shit like that. When the president

16:15

is mad at you, fuck the police,

16:17

you have the United States government on

16:20

your bumper. I got tax

16:22

audited twice that year. I

16:24

had ice cream trucks sitting in front of my house

16:26

in the middle of the winter. These motherfuckers

16:29

is on you. They're trying because

16:31

when a president says questlove, this

16:34

guy's a problem.

16:37

All the FBI, DA, all of

16:39

them do background checks because the next

16:41

question could be what do we know about him? They

16:43

can't say he plays on Tonight

16:45

Show, he's a drumming, his

16:47

shoe size, is this, his blood type?

16:50

Is this? This happens? When that happens,

16:52

you feel it. You

16:55

feel the government looking

16:58

you up and down to try to find

17:00

out because they had to check and seat. Was I really trying to

17:02

make a call to arms? Was I telling people

17:04

go kill the cops in my problem, which

17:07

I was, and I was just making a record. Oh wait,

17:09

did you did you feel vindicated because

17:12

Rodney King happens a year later? No,

17:15

they blamed Rodney King on me. They spun

17:17

it to make it seem like I made that record

17:19

because of Rodney King. I got

17:22

caught in a big It was a it was a

17:24

political year of the Paternal

17:27

Order of Police out of Texas. Spun

17:30

it. They spun it and made it

17:32

seem like I caused the riots. They

17:34

they they was on a bullshit.

17:36

They had a big machine. But see here's

17:39

the trip. They weren't really mad

17:41

at me. They were mad at Warner Brothers because

17:45

they were like, Okay, we understand

17:48

iced Tea should be mad, but why

17:50

White company give

17:53

him the platform to say this? And

17:56

that became the death of Warner Brothers.

17:58

You gotta remember when I did that. Warner

18:00

Brothers had Prince, Warner

18:03

Brothers had Slayer,

18:05

they had the Ghetto Boys, they had Sam

18:07

Kenniston, they had anything that was

18:10

edgy. And that

18:12

ended, and and and and when

18:15

the last thing was when they dropped the deal with

18:17

Interscope, when that was all happening, when

18:19

Ted Turner came in. Warner Brothers had

18:21

to separate from anything controversial,

18:26

costing me. I started to wow.

18:28

But for a second, did it feel like your bag was about

18:30

to stop in terms of like people were not take

18:33

were you losing roles? Where you? Yah?

18:35

New Jack City Part two? So

18:38

there was going to be a sequel? Yeah?

18:41

I didn't know that, me neither, but

18:44

Nino lived. Well wait,

18:46

you knew this about? Yeah? I saw,

18:48

I saw George Jackson and they they

18:51

did an interview. This was years ago, but

18:53

they mentioned it then, but

18:55

it never But what happened was Wesley

18:57

went off and he did Demolition

19:00

Man and made seven million, and

19:02

you know, I was in trouble. So now

19:05

they can't hit Wesley's number because

19:07

the whole movie knew Jack was made for five million.

19:10

Everything happened, but now

19:12

you know I got You know what happened though,

19:15

It's like when you get in some shit

19:17

like this. I never pointed

19:19

in any other rappers. I never pointed

19:22

in any other rock groups because I'm like, Yo, this

19:24

is my heat, and you know, to me, that's

19:26

kind of like like snitching. It's

19:29

kind of like, Yo, you got caught, nigga, handle

19:31

your business. Take it. This is your ship, so

19:33

you never seen nice? But what about this group or

19:35

what about now? I'm like, okay, you on me, let's

19:38

go fuck it. But

19:40

the way they came at me, I

19:42

didn't know if I was gonna survive, you

19:45

know what I'm saying. But I just had to stand my ground

19:47

and I and I remember I met with Minister

19:49

Farkhan at Honorable

19:51

Elijah Muhammad's house and

19:54

in all honestly, he just told me, he said, yet

19:56

what you did wasn't subtle. If you stand in the

19:58

street, expect to get hit by car. So

20:01

I had to learn that we have freedom

20:04

of speech, but watch what you say and

20:07

you have I had the right to sing cop killer,

20:10

but they also had the right to attack. So

20:12

anything you say, prepare for

20:15

the ramifications of what you say.

20:17

And I was not prepared for the ramifications.

20:20

I was just singing some shit and I wasn't

20:22

ready for them to attack. So that's

20:25

a lesson. You know, you

20:28

could say anything. We all have the right to

20:30

say anything, but you also gotta

20:32

be if you say something anti gay, be

20:35

prepared. You did what I'm saying, if

20:37

I mentioned any rapper's name, be prepared.

20:40

So just gonna be reckless

20:42

talking and shit and think there won't be no smoke,

20:45

you know, And if I do say it, I

20:47

should be ready for that smoke, you know. If

20:49

I'm Colin pack Happernick and I dropped

20:52

down and I'm gonna hop pull a kneel, I

20:54

gotta know that NFL is gonna make a

20:56

move on me, and I gotta be strong enough

20:59

to handle that. Or I shouldn't

21:01

do it. They don't do it, you know,

21:03

So don't don't protest and get fired.

21:05

And now because you got fired, because

21:08

to protest you gotta you gotta be prepared

21:10

for the hits. There's gonna be a hit back, or you're not really

21:12

protesting nothing. So I

21:16

had to drop some gyms there for us. I

21:22

wanted to ask about the Home Invasion record

21:25

because that one came on Priority. Um

21:27

what led to that change from Warner

21:29

to Prity because after Cop

21:31

Killer, Warner was

21:34

scared to put my records out. So

21:37

what happened was I came in

21:40

with Home Invasion because now I'm

21:42

consecutive. I had every record I put out

21:44

with Gold and a power

21:47

term Platinum. I'm hot over there.

21:50

But they just went through some shit. Body count

21:52

itself now if so, it's so gold

21:54

twice. It went gold with cop Killer

21:56

and went gold without cop Killer on it. I'm

21:59

making money over there for them. And

22:03

I came in and

22:06

they had my lyrics written on these

22:08

big boards. They wrote

22:10

it out. They

22:12

was and uh,

22:14

I had some foulet. I had this one rhyme

22:16

in G style where I say I give

22:18

a fuck about a cop or a G man. They

22:20

all talk shit, They're breath smelling like seamen.

22:24

I catch them in the alley all alone. Put

22:26

him in the prone pop pop pop to

22:28

the dome. So I'm still killing cops,

22:30

right, I'm

22:34

sorry, you know that's that's

22:36

what I do. So they pull

22:38

this lyric out, that lyric out, this lyric

22:41

out, and I was just like, you know what,

22:43

can I go? You

22:46

as to go? Yeah?

22:48

I said, can I go? Because now I'm in a difficult

22:50

place. They never a and R at any of my music.

22:53

It was just good go body.

22:55

Counter put out an album called cop Killer.

22:58

I love it over there. I'm in a great play, but

23:00

now should change. So

23:02

Home Invasion was coming right after cop Killer,

23:06

so they let me go. Was

23:11

Benny Medina part of any of these meetings

23:14

Benny Medina was the A and R

23:16

guy back in the day, but he never A and RM me

23:18

because he was Warner, not uh

23:20

not sire. Benny

23:23

was a good cat up there. He did the uptown

23:25

thing. And Benny was always a friend

23:27

of mine, and he was cool with me. Okay, but

23:31

I'm dealing with Moe Austen and Lenny Warnaker.

23:33

I'm dealing with the top guys, and

23:37

they were They really didn't want me to go, but

23:39

they were. It was kind of like it was a fucked up

23:41

situation. I was getting them in trouble

23:44

and I'll never forget they would like, as soon

23:46

as we allow them to censor you, we're

23:50

up here, We're up

23:52

shit Creek and and and Warner stayed

23:54

down with me, even um Gerald Levin wrote

23:57

a big thing in the in the Wall Street

23:59

Journal, the CEO

24:01

of Time Warner backing me up.

24:04

And I just felt like,

24:06

it's kind of like me and you were friends question and

24:09

I'm getting you in trouble, man, And I'm just like

24:11

looking, no,

24:14

no, I'm just gonna bail man. I got because I

24:16

gotta still do me. I got, I

24:18

gotta It's like Dave Chappelle, I

24:20

gotta go because I gotta I

24:22

gotta do me because my career

24:25

is based on my integrity and I can't

24:27

have y'all sensor and my shit. So

24:31

I'd go to priority. Brian Turner

24:33

did NWA and all them. They were still opening

24:36

wide and they were ready and they took the record. But

24:38

I'll tell you what Warner did and nobody knows

24:40

this. They didn't charge me for

24:42

the album. So normally,

24:46

let's say they gave me half a million dollars to

24:48

make that album. That was a lot of money back in the days.

24:50

Now people are getting threes and five millions

24:52

to make records. But any half a million,

24:54

I didn't have to recoup it. They

24:57

let you keep your tapes and just go to Yeah,

25:00

So that was that was fly. They

25:02

didn't say, hey, you could take this album, but

25:05

we gotta get the money back. They just let me have it.

25:07

So I took it over there, and

25:09

um, I was fighting

25:11

with the source, and you know, the

25:13

source was talking shit because

25:17

they yeah, they said I folded.

25:19

They were like ice gave in, and you

25:22

know, and Chuck kept me saying because

25:24

Chuck d said those that aren't in the war should

25:26

never come in on the battles they don't

25:28

and what the fuck is really going

25:31

on in here? Yes, that's

25:33

why. On the record you like Home

25:35

Invasion, the first song is called It's

25:37

On. And that's why I

25:39

was like, Yo, we can't take any cut

25:41

off the products. You know what we're

25:44

gonna do. I I still got soldiers,

25:46

you know, turn up to Mike Dog so I can

25:48

go off. Find me Charlton Heston and I might

25:50

cut his head off. You know, I'm not

25:53

to be fucked with. I was on my bullshit.

25:55

I was mad, you know, and you

25:58

know I say, uh, worst magazine.

26:00

You're the first one you tried to disc Chuck

26:03

Cuban me how to fuck you? Pick

26:05

us three? You pump motherfuckers. Ain't

26:07

shit. You just a bunch of holes making

26:09

money off the pros. And when I see

26:11

you get you in my sights, I'll give you

26:13

as a story to write. It's On. So

26:17

I remember how

26:19

how shocking was it for you?

26:22

Some like nineteen years later, the

26:26

sort of live

26:28

through ninety nine problems now

26:30

becoming you

26:33

know, kind of an anthem. I trust

26:35

that you're one of the publishers of ninety

26:37

nine problems. Yeah, and you know what it is

26:39

quest Now everybody's trying to turn that

26:42

into beef. It ain't beef. It's it's

26:44

no, it's no beef. It's a story, and

26:47

the story I never knew there was beef.

26:49

I thought he credit I thought he sampled you or

26:53

covering the song. The

26:55

new podcast people like to take clips

26:58

of what you say and then switched.

27:01

It looked like jay Z stole the

27:04

song. No, he cleared it. Can't

27:06

do that. Did.

27:09

Chris rock Ever tells that story on his

27:11

episode nine nine. Problems come from

27:13

Brother Marquise, Right, and

27:15

Brother Marquise was at my house and he was

27:18

talking about whoop there it is? You know where that record

27:20

comes from the

27:22

original one

27:25

from Tag Team? That's

27:28

the canoe. I'm ready. It was all

27:31

right. Tag Team was the where the DJ's

27:34

in Magic City? Okay,

27:36

And when the girls been over, they

27:40

say, and you've seen it, they say, whoop

27:42

there it is. That's

27:44

where it came from. Okay, that's where it came from.

27:46

When you could see the coach who

27:49

it is? They

27:52

turned that into the song. So Marquis

27:55

is sitting in my house and he's like, man,

27:57

all the nights I sat in Magic City

28:00

and they saying that shit nigga.

28:02

That was the phrase. It pays

28:04

man. So he's talking. Then

28:06

out of nowhere, he said, man, I got nine nine problems.

28:09

A bitch ain't one though, and

28:13

he said it. I said, that's a song.

28:16

So I made the song. You

28:18

know, I gotta hold from the East, I gotta hold from

28:20

the West. I gotta hope from Alabama with a

28:22

pussy in the chest. So I'm saying, so

28:26

I make the record. And then Marquise did a

28:28

verse right fun. It

28:30

was on Home Invasion. Those icy

28:33

fans knew it. The legend

28:35

goes Chris Rock was in the studio

28:37

with Rick Rubin when

28:40

and they had Jay coming in and they brought

28:42

that song up to be remade. The

28:45

song was remade. They paid

28:47

publishing publishing with M I

28:49

had a deal with I

28:52

think Universal Publish

28:54

A point seen money

28:56

gone. That was it. That's

28:58

how it happened. So I'm at

29:00

the Grammys, jay

29:03

Z walks up to me. He's like, Iice

29:05

you know, I love you, man, I love you because I met Jay

29:07

way back with Big Daddy King brought him

29:09

through back in the day when he was with

29:11

Jazzo, right, So I

29:15

got love for jay Z. I'm you know,

29:17

so Jay's like, you know, they say, man, I'm

29:19

like, dude, I'm not mad. This is the press

29:21

they pushing this shit like that. It's

29:24

like you know what. And so I was talking

29:26

to him and I was like, well, Jay, you know, you know you

29:28

did the record, but at the end of the record, you could have said,

29:30

I you know, like

29:34

my nigga like yeah, but you know

29:37

we laughed it off and stuff. But yo,

29:40

I mean, you know it's what it is. It's hip

29:42

hop. Look, I just told you I was influenced by

29:45

ye think about that, like everybody

29:47

don't automatically do what you do that way.

29:50

Yeah, but you know it's all it's all

29:52

uh yeah, it's out in the

29:54

open now. I think. Also on that record,

29:56

he used one of Bunb's lyrics

29:59

to um from U

30:01

g K. So you know, it's

30:04

a technique, it's a style, it's something. It's jay

30:06

Z. Jay Z's a super rapper, like shit,

30:10

you know, it ain't like he can't write rhyme.

30:12

If he doesn't he wants to. He just feels like throwing

30:14

some other flavor in there. I love Jakes. I

30:17

mean that's the spirit of hip hop. Like you gotta take a

30:19

little bit of this, a little bit of that, and build

30:21

something. Yeah, something new to it.

30:23

Is there anything that you have yet

30:26

to accomplish that you want to that's

30:30

interesting, That's a really good question. Um.

30:34

I mean you've done everything, even fatherhood. Yeah,

30:37

I mean you've done fatherhood. But no,

30:41

no, no, But I mean like

30:43

you're a new person now with you Dart like you

30:46

absolutely, Yeah, you're You're a new person.

30:49

Your Muhammad Ali said when a man has a child

30:51

in the second half of life, after fifty's,

30:54

it hits a reset button on his life. And I've

30:57

gotten healthy, I have a reason to live.

30:59

She's a whole new your right quest.

31:01

It's a it's a brand new life for me.

31:04

Yeah, I gotta live forever. I

31:06

decided I'm not gonna die. I checked

31:08

out my my schedule. I'm booked till one

31:10

hundred so and I ain't seen no funerals

31:13

on this. So I've been around here. I got some shit to

31:15

do. I want to ask you too, man yo. Cherryos

31:20

Yeah, yeah, like Cherry

31:22

all the commercials because you know Carshield

31:24

car shields cards go far. And

31:27

you know, I said, I was,

31:29

I was, I was watching Shack. It's

31:31

official watching shock,

31:34

and he said he had never spent money from the NBA,

31:37

you know, all endorsements. And

31:40

I was like, fuck yeah,

31:43

I need some fucking endorsements, you

31:45

know. So I called my manager.

31:47

I said I need it. I need a

31:49

commercial agent. They won't fuck with you.

31:52

You the cop killer, it's corporate America.

31:55

I was like, yo, man, fuck that like

31:57

seeing somebody ah fuck with me. And

32:00

the first commercial I got was the Geico the

32:02

iced tea reading signed right and

32:07

everybody brace for impact like there's

32:09

gonna be an outcry. But see, this is

32:11

what's happened. The guards have changed

32:14

exactly. The people that are in charge

32:16

now are like forty eight year old CEOs.

32:19

That's how we were able to do the Super Bowl. The

32:21

people that were so scared of emineminem

32:24

are gone now and our fans

32:26

are in charge. But Ice. You don't want

32:28

to give some of that too to like Sergeant

32:30

tu Tuola, because Tutola has

32:32

changed a lot of that too. Whatever

32:35

whatever has done it. I just think it's

32:37

just that the new people love

32:40

us. They loved Snoop Dogg. They grew

32:42

up with us, so there's no fear of us.

32:45

Right now. We have to put a Cereal out with

32:47

Ozzy Osbourne a bat Cereal

32:49

32:51

and congratulations on being sergeant, and also condolences

35:48

my brother on losing your friend Richard Belzer.

35:50

Yeah, like we

35:53

watch. We watched all together and even behind

35:55

the scenes, we watched your friendship. So wait

35:58

a minute, Oh, but weren't

36:01

you responsible for I put

36:03

it out there that I wanted to be a dead body on the

36:05

show. One

36:08

of y'all made it happen. I did, Thank

36:11

you. I forgot y'all. I'm a dead body

36:13

on Law and Order. No, we saw it, So

36:16

okay, So my question is most challenging

36:18

storyline on SVU, but

36:21

too too old for I see. The

36:23

requests came in from quests and then got

36:26

on the on the grid up there, and

36:28

then the line that of course I'm the black

36:30

guy, so they go Questlove

36:32

wants to be on the show. What's he like? That's how

36:34

they always ask, like they don't they want to

36:36

bring someone on the show, but they don't want it to be Prima

36:39

Donna. He's extra. I

36:42

say, he's a great person. I mean, Yo,

36:44

if you got a chance to put quests on the show, Joe

36:47

Bow so I can't go, I co

36:49

signed you because they don't know they bring a nigga

36:51

out there, nigga might wild out.

36:55

Yo. Snoop came up there and smoked the whole

36:57

place out. Yeah that's true.

37:00

You just gotta know. So all right, So

37:02

back to my fan out question. Though it was their

37:04

most challenging storyline, I

37:07

appreciate. I just want to say how Utuola

37:09

has became an amazing grandfather to

37:12

his gay son's husband's and

37:14

the children and whatnot. But what has been a challenging

37:17

storyline for you in this journey? Anything

37:19

that does with children bothers me, you

37:22

know, I mean, I got a problem with, you know,

37:24

pedophilia and all that old,

37:26

weird, old shit. I don't. I

37:28

don't rock with that. I don't. I don't think street

37:31

cats fuck with that. That's just

37:33

real. You know you're not gonna

37:35

do well in prison with that. You know. You

37:38

know what the definition of pedophilia is.

37:40

M. It means you're into

37:43

things that are preprovescent. M.

37:46

That's nasty. That's nasty.

37:49

So anytime we're dealing with that

37:51

kind of shit, I personally got an

37:53

issue with that shit. That's nasty to

37:55

me. And uh I got

37:57

on that show and the storylines are

37:59

so crazy and so dark and so weird,

38:01

but they're real shit. It's real stuff.

38:04

So um, I'll

38:07

tell you funny when like one season I

38:09

come back and they tell me you're getting

38:11

married, I'm like, to who like

38:13

Phoebe? I'm like, who's Phoebe? That's

38:16

the girl from three seasons ago that

38:19

wasn't going to hook up with you? So when

38:21

did we get together? Over COVID? The

38:24

fans know it, so I

38:26

had to talk. It wasn't kind of suffusing.

38:28

Shout to Jennifer Esposito. I'm I'm mad. I know

38:31

everything that goes on in the show. But I'm glad you

38:33

Jennifer got engaged and we've let

38:35

that rock out the whole season. Then we didn't get

38:37

married. But do you get us saying like the

38:40

direction that your character goes not

38:43

really? I mean, I'm

38:45

I've learned to add quests, so I don't

38:47

really care where my character goes as long

38:49

as it doesn't die, you know, because

38:54

where it's like, okay, we gotta talk to

38:56

you or go to dinner. Like, how do you know if your character

38:58

is getting because not shot,

39:01

you get shot, I mean you get shot in the script

39:03

and you see your shots. Then you go like this, oh shit,

39:06

okay, breathe, I'm breathing on tape. Shit

39:09

I survived at you know. But um

39:12

no, there's a producer or Lauren

39:15

Order we call the grim Reaper. If he takes

39:17

to dinner, it's a ra. So

39:20

when you get taking to dinner, you already know. Yeah,

39:23

I'm I'm gangster with them. You know.

39:25

I signed up with Dick Wolf and I'm like his

39:28

ride or die. I've been on five shows with Dick

39:30

Wolf, right, so he understands.

39:33

And I when I told them on

39:35

some real shit, I said if y'all gonna get rid

39:37

of me, give me six

39:39

months advance so I could book a tour or

39:41

something. Just don't do me. Don't just do

39:45

me that. I deserve that, And now

39:47

being the longest running actor in television,

39:50

they owe me that, you know, you

39:52

know, so I'm like, I'm

39:55

good with them. I told Dick Wolf straight up. I

39:57

told him, I said, I'm on the show to the wheels all

40:00

off. You know what I'm saying. I'm

40:03

there. I don't have no plans in leaving.

40:06

And you know, all things come to an

40:08

end. We weren't getting ready to start to twenty fifth

40:10

season, and at

40:13

some point it'll be over, and then I'm

40:15

just gonna go out and refall Samuel Jackson's

40:18

parts. Boys

40:20

really going to be over. I think that

40:23

show is basically built to last. Well,

40:25

as long as you are, Mariska, to be honest, That's

40:27

what I was warning. I was like, you are, Mariska. I feel

40:29

like, as long as y'all are, there is

40:31

there at least an outside of the

40:34

show a relationship between you and Mariska as well.

40:36

Yeah. Yeah, I told Mariska's

40:39

point blank, I say, in my life, I have three

40:41

women. I have my two daughters and my wife.

40:43

But I've made more money with you, Marishka.

40:46

So you've got to understand where you

40:48

stand in my life. Me and Marishka twenty

40:51

five years. That's longer than you went to high school

40:53

college. Who

40:56

you know that you like, like Quest

40:58

has been with Jimmy every day. When you start doing

41:00

the places where you're with somebody every

41:02

day for years and years and years

41:05

and years, that's like,

41:07

I think I've had a longer consistent every

41:10

day relationship with Tariq

41:12

than my my parents, like my

41:14

family, anyone. You've seen him

41:17

more than all of them. Yeah, that's

41:19

why I said, And I thought about this, I see. I was like,

41:21

what does it ic feel like to know that, like, he's been

41:23

a cop longer than he's been at MC. I

41:26

mean, were you're always gonna be at MC, but longer

41:28

than you've been making records. I put it that way. The

41:30

thing is, I've been acting like a cop. I'm

41:32

not no motherfucking cop, that's right, tell

41:37

like a cop. But you know, the thing

41:39

of it is is that if if you hire

41:42

if you hire a street cat to

41:45

play a cop, you get more of an official

41:48

cop because the cops it's

41:50

really are really thugs, right, you

41:52

know? So the way they handle

41:55

theirselves. If you get a square he and

41:57

he acts like a cop. He acts like a rookie cop.

42:00

But as the cops get older,

42:02

they pick up the lingo. If you ever dealt with a

42:05

DA you'll swear to God you're talking

42:07

to drug dealers. If you ever talk to a mob

42:09

cop, you'll swear to God you're talking to somebody

42:12

to mob. They pick up the lingo.

42:14

So Dick Wolf was like, if

42:17

I cast Ice as a cop, you get a cop

42:19

with an interesting dynamic. When

42:21

I'm interrogating somebody, you

42:24

you the viewer, feel

42:27

like Ice about to smack the shit out this nigga.

42:30

LP. Yes, now here's

42:32

something for you. Acting like a cop

42:34

and a gangster are the exact same

42:36

acting. It's both

42:39

of you got a gun, both

42:41

of you got an attitude, and both of you

42:43

say if I don't get what I want, there will be a

42:46

consequence. So it's an ad it's

42:48

an energy that is

42:51

gangster. But you just have a bad

42:53

same shit. So a lot

42:55

of times when I'm acting, I'm not thinking like a

42:57

cop. I'm just like, yo, motherfucker, you gonna do what

43:00

I want you to do. I'm gonna

43:02

fucking fuck you up. I

43:04

love watching that. I just love watching

43:06

you. I really do, I really do. I just

43:09

I think for your fans that we just love an evolution,

43:11

even where they where you are in the police force.

43:13

Now, beauty of it is for me and LLL

43:16

is that our fans have matured

43:18

with us. So you probably

43:21

with us when we were wrapping, and now you

43:23

know you're you. You're not necessarily

43:26

listening to the hip hop like that anymore. But you've

43:28

grown up and your mother's and this, that

43:30

and the third. But we're still

43:32

the people you grew up with. Yeah,

43:35

our fan base has matured with us,

43:38

so that. But it's also seeing y'all as whole men

43:40

too, like seeing you show, feeling, seeing

43:42

you all the things. It's just beautiful

43:45

to watch, even if you are acting. But I know

43:47

that when you will on your house, some of that stuff goes

43:49

home too, some of me. Yeah,

43:52

speaking of a home and uh like your

43:54

marriage, man, how did you make that transition

43:57

from being in the streets to you know,

43:59

going straight? Yeah?

44:02

Yeah. The thing of it is is that when

44:04

a woman meets the right man, it's the right time.

44:06

When a man hits the right time, he'll

44:09

be ready for the right woman. Oh shit, yeah,

44:12

that's sure. So men we're

44:15

kind of like no good up to thirty

44:17

five years old because we have

44:19

to go through the same thing they went through. See,

44:22

women, they mature earlier

44:25

because at seventeen, if a girl's

44:27

hot, she's in the club, she's

44:30

she's living the life we can't live. Yeah,

44:32

in the car with the forty year old niggas, right

44:34

right, I think about it. I didn't

44:36

get in the bins until I bought one,

44:39

you know. So they mature,

44:42

they mature much faster because life

44:44

opens for them earlier. When

44:46

you see all these girls in bikinis laid out

44:48

on the yacht. Them bitches don't

44:50

own that yacht. They're on this because take cute.

44:53

We can't get on the yacht. Right,

44:58

So the life happens for the But here's

45:00

the problem. Here's the problem. When

45:02

y'all is slowing down, we're just taking

45:05

off. Yeah at

45:07

twenty seven, when the woman sees thirty

45:10

and she's like, I need to slow down and figure it out.

45:12

The guys just getting his bag and

45:15

so it's a stagger with us.

45:18

So what happens is I

45:21

had a girlfriend, Darlene, who

45:23

was on my covers, and me and her were like together for fifteen

45:26

years. But I never got married because

45:29

I already knew what kind of nigga I was, you

45:31

know, still in you know, moving, Yeah,

45:34

I just becoming famous. Rule one,

45:37

don't marry nobody. That's just getting

45:39

at the beginning of fame. Yeah,

45:42

yeah, it's you

45:45

never it's it's an onslaughter pussy

45:47

and you just have to weather that shit. And

45:49

you think, anyway, what

45:53

happens is when I met Coco, when

45:55

I can make a Coco, I was forty two

45:58

years old and

46:00

I was done. I've been to the theme

46:02

park, I've been to everything, I've done this and

46:05

now I was ready, and you know,

46:07

I needed to find somebody. And since

46:10

she had matured earlier, she had been running

46:12

when she was seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty

46:14

twenty one, so when I met her, she was kind

46:16

of done. And and

46:19

the words of Pimp and Ken one damn bitches

46:21

worth ten funky hos, you know what I'm saying. So you

46:24

know, at some point I chose

46:27

and and and fortunately it's stuck like glue.

46:29

We've been matter for twenty two years and

46:32

crazy man, it's beautiful. It was. It

46:34

was just it was just the

46:37

right chick. You know. She

46:39

she liked me, and

46:44

like when I met her, I had on a red snakeskin

46:46

suit. Oh you

46:48

know I was. I was on some players ship

46:50

and a video. She's like, oh, that's five

46:53

let cocoa fund. What's she wrong? What about California?

46:56

Okay, okay, she could do that, Okay, but she

46:58

but she liked this.

47:02

I'm too much for most girls. They like, they

47:04

gave me herded out of your work

47:06

mouth is pimping ho and bitches. And she's

47:09

like, oh, oh top ten shit. She

47:12

liked she liked me. So

47:15

I finally found a woman that really accepted

47:17

me right, and I liked

47:19

her. She was always you know, she's out there,

47:22

you know, borderline exhibitions.

47:24

She likes showing herself. She's fun and I

47:26

dig it. She ain't right for everybody.

47:29

So a lot of times people would come to me and go, we'll

47:32

give me some advice as I

47:34

can. I can tell you how. I can tell you how

47:36

to be married to my wife. I can't tell you how

47:38

to be married to your wife. I

47:41

know what it takes to make her happy, but I

47:43

don't know what you might be dealing with.

47:46

So but you know, we always say

47:48

men settle where they find peace.

47:52

And my wife does not argue, she

47:54

doesn't raise her voice. She's

47:57

very peaceful, she's very nice

47:59

and week and she has

48:01

me happy, has me wanting to stay in the house

48:04

and play video games. And she's enough for

48:06

me. And uh, what you play? What games?

48:08

What games you want? What you'll be on? Oh? Yeah,

48:14

first person shooters? Oh okay, you

48:16

the shooters? Okay, gotcha? But um,

48:18

you know one thing about relationships,

48:21

don't brag on them because you'll jinx yourself.

48:23

Oh god, you got a priest this word. Come

48:25

on. You

48:27

know I'm in a good place.

48:30

But I mean, you know, you ever noticed, like when

48:32

you watch basketball wives, none of them are really

48:34

the wives. Yes,

48:38

because the wives aren't doing no fucking

48:40

interviews. The wives are happy, they're

48:42

in the mansion, they're doing great. They

48:44

don't want to talk. They're like x

48:47

wives running their motherfucking mouse. But

48:50

go to somebody's wife and in life,

48:53

don't talk. I don't want to talk about it, so we'll

48:56

just I'll keep it quiet. Everything's good

48:58

on the icy front. I

49:01

love it. Wait time out, Steve do

49:03

you remember our fourth

49:06

day at Fallon. I

49:09

forget which writer ran in

49:12

to ask me. I forget

49:14

the writer, but she ran and says, I'm

49:16

here. Do you know who iced Tea is? And I

49:18

was like, yeah, no iced Tea. And

49:20

they wanted me to broker, like I guess

49:23

one of the one of the Fallon writers had

49:26

maybe Morgan maybe

49:28

I forget what it was, but like

49:31

she had, she had snarked a comment on Twitter,

49:35

and they wanted us

49:37

to translate the roots, like what does

49:39

this mean? Like should I run out of state

49:41

or should I was like, no, it's I

49:43

forget what your response was what

49:47

They were obviously not used to playing

49:50

the dozens or any of that sort

49:52

of thing, and from

50:00

it's a Twitter though you know it's Twitter, It's like

50:02

yo, whatever. I

50:05

was my fourth day of Foulon,

50:07

literally, like I just remember

50:10

having to walk in the writer's

50:12

room and calm this person down, like, okay,

50:19

right, exactly does not mean it

50:22

means eat a dick? All right? So whatever?

50:25

You know what, man, people they don't

50:27

know how to really respond to certain people.

50:29

They don't know what's up. They don't you

50:31

know, people come over my house. They expect to see

50:34

people hanging off meat hooks and ship understand

50:38

because they pick up a persona from you. They

50:41

might just listen to my records. They might listen to

50:43

body count. They don't know who I am

50:45

really you somebody daddy like you

50:47

a whole like do you know me better

50:50

than some they're They'll take a

50:52

small thing and my

50:55

whole persona. You know what I'm saying, So you

50:58

know it is what it is, man, But you

51:00

know, let me do my shameless

51:02

plug, please. I could check

51:05

on the daily game. The daily game was

51:07

something that I would do

51:10

on Twitter because when I first

51:12

got on Twitter, I realized it was mob

51:14

rules, and I said, you have to get a crew. You

51:16

got to get people to fuck with you. So I

51:18

needed something to make you go back to my

51:20

page. Because Twitter is

51:23

nothing but a chat room. It's

51:25

a chat room. It's going right now and

51:28

talking back and forth and then this million

51:31

person a multimillion dollar million

51:33

person chat room. If you follow quest,

51:35

that means I'm interested in what he's

51:38

saying versus everybody else.

51:40

But if you have a timeline

51:42

with a thousand people, this tweet just

51:46

shoots. So the only way you really can make

51:48

Twitter work is if I go to

51:51

your page, like, I'm gonna go see what the Quest said

51:53

today. So I crate up this thing called The Daily

51:55

Game and it's just jewels I got

51:58

from players, and uh, iHeartRadio

52:02

dug them and said, hey, why don't we turn

52:04

this into a podcast. So the podcast

52:06

is iced Tea's Daily Game. It's on Spotify,

52:09

and every day I drop a jewel

52:11

and then I break it down like what the lady

52:13

wanted Quest to do. So

52:16

you know shit like if it's if it feels

52:18

like you're going in circles, it's probably because

52:20

you're cutting corners. You understand me, you know, so

52:24

that these

52:26

are these are little tidbits

52:28

I got from different players and different people.

52:31

And I quote Aristotle,

52:34

Socrates, all

52:37

kinds of different people, Tyler Perry,

52:40

I quoted Jimmy. So anytime

52:43

somebody says something, I'm like, you know, we call it

52:45

a jewel. Hold on, So

52:48

tune into the Daily Game. You can tune

52:50

in once a week and hear like five of them, and

52:53

uh, I did a year's

52:55

worth. I recorded two hundred and fifty

52:58

of them. Took about four sessions,

53:00

and four sessions, uh six

53:02

hour sessions, so twenty four

53:04

hours yo. Before we go. Man,

53:06

you gotta talk about Chappelle show Hater's

53:09

ball. Come on, go on. You

53:14

get a call from Dave Chappelle. Certain niggas

53:17

call you, you show up. You did what I'm saying,

53:19

Like I ca Quest called me, I'm

53:21

gonna show up. Certain people got that

53:24

Dave Chappelle is one of them cats. Right,

53:26

So you get the call Dave wants you to be in

53:28

a skit. Hell yeah, I'm in a skit.

53:30

So they say it's the player haters

53:33

ball. Just wear something you'd wear to the players ball.

53:35

Oh, the red snakeskin

53:38

suits. But I was glad that the same the

53:40

same one I had on when

53:42

I knocked Coco who that

53:46

was a winner Chicken dinner, that was that was a run.

53:49

So I threw that on cloud And

53:51

then they get my hair on the set. They said, don't do

53:53

your hair. We're gonna curl your hair on the set.

53:56

And remember they had me sitting

53:58

down there talking shit what it was, and

54:02

they just threw the script at me and they just said you

54:04

hosting. I'm like, I'm hosting, and

54:07

uh, they just said just get up there,

54:09

and they had a few things to say. And you

54:11

know, I invented that hate hate hate,

54:13

because you go when you go to the real

54:16

players bar when they get the awards, they say,

54:18

pimp pimp, pimp pimp right, you

54:20

know, pim pimp, pim pimp porade.

54:23

You know, so that's what they do. So I just turned

54:25

it into hate hate hate. That was ad lib

54:28

and uh it

54:30

was legendary. And recently I did a we

54:32

did it where we were a Game of Thrones

54:35

54:48

Patris O'Neil. He was in that skit rest

54:50

in piece. Did jall kind of go

54:52

back and forth more than what was on the air. It

54:54

was wild, Nah, niggas talking crazy

54:56

the whole skit, Like, yeah, it was going back and

54:59

55:01

55:05

nowhere they're talking shit about me, I said, next person

55:07
