DL Hughley on Kevin Hart, Kanye, Bernie Mac, Tekashi 6ix9ine (Full Interview)

here we go do hugely welcome back man how you doing I'm great man I hope I didn't treat you too bad out in Calabasas yeah I mean we both live in Calabasas and uh you know I think we're both okay yeah it was weird though cuz you know the weird thing about those fires was they were very destructive and took a lot of lives i if it had happen anywhere in the country you to seeing telethon zand pray for California on people's avatars and but I think there's such an indifference that the people in California basically only had to pay you know there was no pray for California but I had a concert everybody like what-a-light if you looked on social media you thought oh they already nobody kids but people remember to forget that up in northern california there were a lot of people who in Butte County which is a very rural county but it just shows you how divided we are as a nation when if you consider somebody to be doing well off that you can't even give them a humane courtesy of praying for praying on call somebody nothing but it was just it's this pervasive attitude I think a lot of it you know demonstrated by a president who comes crank your floors and and and and Henrik ranked the forest floors it was just amazing to see just how totally indifferent people were yeah I mean Trump even criticized the you know I forgot which department it was yeah the forestry department yeah there you go yeah he he actually criticized the forestry department as people were like you know dying and missing lost and firefighters were risking their lives like the [ __ ] it's amazing to me that people don't seem to realize 60% of the produce consumed in America has grown in Southern California period that without the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world the United States of America would not exist without California so you can play a little game what to me the problem in the country is that we have the Flintstones and we have the Jetsons and the The Flintstones are in charge like Flynn like if you failed economically and educationally why do you have so much to say until the future when you have failed then and you seem to be resolute and staying where you are why are we even letting you have a hand and guiding the future if you know if you're in the rest belt in other parts of the country that are solid blocks of poverty and and and and illiteracy and just unhealthy conditions why are you the predicate the best you know I think that if you look at the power most people live along the coast most of the economy is driven by the coast like if nobody's moving to your state you should have less to say that more yeah I think it was Maine was actually offering to pay off people's school loans bank moved to Maine right yeah like like I like I don't like you have all these these monolithic groups that live in these places that are bore intellectualism or are money and they want the world to come back to them like if you live in certain parts of the country and industry is gone and you stay there only white dudes think that they can live somewhere and make industry come if you believe that opening coal mines and having factories come back is your kit is your you know it's the way to make America great again you don't need a president you need a time machine right you know like your your whole problem could be solved by a couple of months at DeVry but you want to dig coal mine and then you and then you don't want anybody to come there like you want you yeah these monolithic groups so basically it's just groups of poor white people who live in these like these rural places and they won't they don't want anybody there so then I have no idea to blame black people ain't there any Mexican it's only you you're feeling cover you so then I'm anybody to blame it's hilarious to me at least listen [ __ ] in this house you have somebody to blame well I want to talk about your new Netflix special sure but before I do so it's so uh you know off the press right now mm-hmm I want to talk about your comments about Kevin Hart you know Kevin Hart was offered the Oscars he announced that it was you know one of his dreams to always hostess hoooo forth and then they unearthed some old tweets of his which some people you know felt were homophobic sure at first he said that he wasn't going to apologize and then he ended up basically stepping down and somewhat apologizing well III think and you know Kevin's a talented cat and I don't know what I talked to him on that I guess the Friday after it happened and I would have never apologized for telling the joke and I I defended him like I defended Don Imus is right to tell her to say something dumb I defended build a Mars right to say something dumb Jon rockers right to say something dumb Michael Richards right to say something dumb I am my defense if Kevin Hart is basically self-centered because in order for people to be free to say what they want I have to be free in order for me to be free to say what I want they got to be free to say what they want but I'm really to me the gay community has started to become bullies like if you say anything about listen we live in a mecca well we're persecuted and people are dying that say Matt is black people have been dying in this country and persecuting this country since we got here but jokes are still made about us people are dying and that's very unfortunate the Fifth Amendment allows Americans that have guns a million Americans have died from the 60s till right now at the hands of other Americans and every time there's a mass tragedy what do they say that's part of the business that's part of the right that's part of what you get when you have this right it is part of his freedom is the freedom our freedom because we have this freedom it results in these kinds of things and no one ever talks about taking the fifth a minute away for somebody more people will die because of the fifth amendment that ever would die from the first well your the response and we'll go ahead and play that now so let me get this straight a comedian tells a joke that offends people and refuses to apologize and people want to know what I think of that [ __ ] them if they can't take a joke well played Kevin Hart that is how is done people always go why do comedians get away with it cuz we're not scared to get fired you could say whatever you want to if you're not scared to lose your gig well done Kevin Hart [ __ ] them if they can't take a joke but I think that the the most interesting thing about your response was that you know you said oh well people criticize comedians saying you know they could say whatever they want and there's no repercussions well no you can say whatever you want to you just might lose your job yeah and the medians are okay with losing their job listen I could lose my - I could lose mine - there might be something but ultimately the only thing I'm responsible for as an artist is my perspective is comedy is a very solitary thing it's a long wolf kind of activity it's not collaborative I'm telling you I'm expanding on my viewpoint but I resent the fact that you believe that you are immune to jokes I don't think anybody's immunity Oaks my father just died of cancer I told jokes about it you heard it in in my contrarian space my son has Asperger's son I didn't graduate from college and you make our high school I talk about all these things and you think you're exempt you can you can you can love who you love and I'll defend your right to love them I will defend your right to be treated fairly and to not be discriminated against and I will also tell jokes about it I don't I don't think it makes you immune I don't think you're any more special than anybody else and don't tell me it's because people are committing suicide and dying a girl today got teased for riding on a white girl and she committed suicide the the the very essence of humanity is humor you the lbgtq community move forward and such what we what feels like leaps not because they were activists and ball-busters it's because of Ellen and Glee and willing greats people laughed they laughed with them and at them and they moved forward shut up and sit down if you don't like what I say don't don't listen to me but you're not gonna bully me into not saying what I believe or or nor should you have that right well you had a transgender on Twitter call you out for some homophobic which was she writes were homophobic common right and the funny part about this is that you know she said this is why you're a failure at comedy right which maybe take a step back and say okay come on cut it now again here's the thing you said something slick to me we were having a discourse first I what are you talking to you you said something slick to me and I said something slick back to you and then you hide under the fact that you're 23 in your chairs in der if you big enough when I was a kid if you big enough to get you big enough to hit back you cannot say to me I push you and you slap the [ __ ] out of me and that was too much if you don't want to play rough don't talk slick to me I don't [ __ ] who you are because you put on put on a dress I'm supposed to be nice to you you can tell I said whatever you want to me [ __ ] you literally I'm the most comparison human being I know but I don't think you're special just because of you've gone through hardships I don't I think that what makes you special is the fact that you can look at those hardships I've never growing up my mother's adage is you got a laugh to keep from crying and what I resent particularly is the only time you seem to be engaged as when something happens to you we're all in this together if something happens when chick-fil-a did something that gay people I wrote a letter it was it was it was satire but I wrote a letter calling out what I thought was you know homophobia I use humor to do it when something happens to somebody else to be cowed but they seem to only be interested when something happens to him I don't see anything I don't see anybody marching when somebody when a black kid gets shot in the streets or a woman's children is snatched for a child is snatched from or brutally and we're human beings you want us all to fight for you fight for somebody else too yeah well you called her a [ __ ] yeah which I thought was an interesting response because I didn't I didn't I didn't I never knew what who I was talking to I just saw the time line and and you know I that that's a phrase I use all the time but I'm not afraid to be disliked by people who don't feel like I I'm not asking you what to say I'm saying it and you will either dig it or not but I think it's silly if I don't like something I don't listen to it I don't then get other groups of people to get together and we don't like it together that's how high school and I don't ask you for permission how come you get to say things and I don't get to I'm a grown man I'm gonna have to ask my father for permission to have a point of view I think it's just it's just really silly and I think one of the reasons we have such a that would be an OK vantage point if we were really having the effect that it exposed us to have is the country getting more tolerant it is not it's more right racial more bigoted more homophobic more said that isn't because comedians killed tell jokes well yeah I mean cuz after the Kevin Hart thing I think Nick Cannon actually dug up some old tweets from some white female concern Sid you see those honey Amy Schumer she had a tweet that said enjoy skyfall [ __ ] Sarah said the new bachelorettes a [ __ ] Chelsea Handler Sarah Silverman was the one who said the last one and Chelsea Handler said this is what a [ __ ] bird looks like when he flexes and had like some sort of meme or something like that I don't see any sort of backlash against any of these three white women well for me I don't think anybody obviously you have the right to have an aversion to what people say and you have the right to act on that aversion when you don't have the right to do is to control thought and and listen I don't feel like you have to like what you do I got a I got to make sure that you're treated fairly that you're not discriminated against as a part of the human community but - but but you're not any more special than anybody else or any more entitled to something anybody else in there you're not everybody wants the quality until it's time for the light bolster drag-drop like everybody want to be equal but when the life will drop out women children first no [ __ ] that we equal [Laughter] we hate it and it's just it's it's silly and galling to me it is it's just I don't I don't I don't I don't it's a it is it's not even part of my lexicon to let someone else tell me what to think or what to say you have a new Netflix special called contrarian right excellent special Thank You Man for whoever hasn't watched this you know if you're a fan of DL Hughley on vlad TV you absolutely have to watch this number one why the name contrarian well because that part out I don't even know why that name came up so much but we would be talking I would read an interview that I'd done or even some of the comments particularly after up to you have that done to you and there was always this sentiment that I was contrary so it just seemed I don't think anything I say is all that contrary yeah I don't I don't think so either that's why I asked I don't to me it's just it doesn't really resonate or it's not even all that important to me but the only import it has is that it's my opinion and I'll I'll fight vociferous leader to defend it but it just seemed to be kind of a moniker that people seem to describe to me that I didn't I don't particularly understand but it was it was kind of tongue-in-cheek okay well you talked about it in the special how we lost Prince but Bobby Brown still yeah that's a shame that's how you know God is he works in mysterious ways right because I guess it was an intern working that day yeah yeah yeah it just seems it seems a shame that one of the greatest performers and musicians that ever lived and and seem to be healthy and vibrant yeah it's gone and Bobby Brown who's been on the wild side for a long time is here making barbecue sauce and living his best it's funny to me I mean to be fair I think Bobby Brown's a great musician oh yeah oh he's no you know between new addition in the solo here he has some absolute hits but he definitely has put it out there two prints yeah Bobby Braddock doesn't wish it I'm sure he shots he's doing absolutely right yeah remember here the jaw like the car yeah the crack jaw one point I just saw I just was hanging out with my friend we had a gig in Virginia and and I'm sitting in a bar with Bobby Brown in a hotel and he starts smoking in the bar after the man like and he's like and I'm like Bobby you saw this people tell you you can't do that did you just told you get it he said but I'm still Bobby and he is that's who exactly is that's exactly who is and I went I'm not going to jail [ __ ] with you and I'm not dare do it but that's exactly what my point was just the juxtaposition of prince who had you know seemed to live a different life and Bobby who pushes the boundaries in every turn and still vibrant and yeah yeah no I mean I saw Prince perform maybe like a year or so before tonight and he was thin he looked healthy right you know I guess I mean I guess when you're popping pills though you can't tell that you came that is the point of popping characters you can't tell you can't do yeah you can't tell you can't tell um well you talked about the me to movement mm-hmm and you talked about how Bill Cosby should start the y'all to movement yeah but even now I think that that if the predicate is that we're gonna go back in time and to prosecute people for their past transgressions okay but I think Bill Cosby should have some company and there should be a whole lot of Catholic priests nest in there should be a whole lot of people next to him I remember to do from Penn State that you know of that whole apparatus city was molested for by the time he's 13 to the time he's 28 if you if your coach is still coming after you but in you 28 you you got a boyfriend you just accepted that's it's couples they ain't been together that long but the idea that you had almost 300 almost around a priest I think in Pennsylvania which is I believe where Bill Cosby in prison now and they're not doing time and I'm not saying that really yeah no I'm not saying that he shouldn't be because they aren't I'm saying they should because he is is that if that's the predicate you know it's interesting like with Bill Cosby because I just need to be Tamela Jones the actress yeah she playing center made my wife and brothers yeah exactly yep and she had her own kind of interesting history with Bill Cosby you know first of all when she was like you know in high school you know starting out I guess Bill Cosby told her mother that holly was a tough business and she doesn't have what it takes so that kind of started things off and then when she did booty booty call Bill Cosby went out and said that you know this movie is disgusting and you know it's you know there's more to black people than just body parts and it's like basically you know he just downed the whole movie after this was my hers you know you know a movie you know opportunity so we talked about the whole Jeffrey Owens thing about how I felt that when you're approaching retirement age and you're working at Trader Joe's you know to me that looked like a failure as an adult when you're doing that at daddy right you know it's a very unpopular opinion a lot of people bash me over that but that's just how I feel and she had an interesting perspective about it she said well the way she looks at it I think it's because of him in their their mind you know he wanted them to all go back to school you go back to school you do this he was really their father so when they're listening to him and taking his advice because he is Bill Cosby hmm I feel like those people except for Lisa Bonet cuz she jumped up out of there she's doing naked photo shoots yeah because she's I change a heart remember she was naked that did make you Roark yeah love that movie but that was her choice as an artist and she jumped off the ledge falling and was like [ __ ] you I'm gonna do what I want to do it's my life I don't think anyone working under him had the courage to do that outside of her well I think I think two things one I think that anything you got to do to take care of your family and you ain't robbing somebody is you know I think honorable but I think one of the things that did happen with Bill Cosby was whether for better or for worse to the cast members you are always going to there's nothing you can ever do the chances of you ever doing anything that registers are abused itself in the country psyche that way very minimal I don't think you can always see Malcolm tomorrow sto and you'll always see where you know Rudy is you know you're gonna always see them the same way but I think the thing that was first you know that show used to play all over the country so they were had to be some residuals that you were making he would make a residual pay when they took that show off people idea jobs wait when because of his because if they taking the show off it it's not being children as many syndicated markets you're not getting the residuals used to get so now you got to work right so I think we thought that was right but I as far as Bill Cosby I don't think Bill Cosby's in jail for what he he did as much as for who he pretended he was the old my husband lived his life seemed to be very judgmental telling people to live I remember that famous parent poundcake story he pretended to be something where wait hold on which are poundcake story he told the story about a little boy and how what if the boy steals the power k and the police beat him up and you cry the police beat my baby and he's like why did you steal the pound cake it's interesting that Bill Cosby is in jail with the very dudes he was telling to pull their pants up but but I think and again I think that there is something to be said for the fact that we seem justice seems to be blind but when it comes to black or brown people that [ __ ] takes a peek but I still think that he was very hypocritical in his like you telling black comedians how to tell jokes and you drugging brothers you know what I mean don't say [ __ ] well rape is a lot worse than me so I think he lived a life that was was was certainly not what he pretended to be and I think at a certain point very few of us can survive Google I think America's having that problem I think America the idea of America is at odds with it with the reality of America because people got Google yeah you can look up anything yeah is that true let's see the thing is nothing ever dies or can get buried it over no you know in your comedy special you talked about how black people will forgive any musical artist if they drop a hot enough album any what black people will forgive look at Bill Cosby look at the affinity that people have been first off cliff Huxtable is not in trouble Bill Cosby is but he made us laugh or Fat Albert or whatever incarnation of Cosby you have to have an affinity for he was so indelibly imprinted himself in our psyche of OJ Simpson when he's running through the airport is the first time we've ever seen a black man who was it you know sponsored by a major advertiser he was he was you know running through the echo the Jews because or Kanye with his first couple of albums or our Kelly that's how bad black people need to feel good that's how bad right need to feel good well because what what was interesting was I just interviewed Bill Duke mm-hmm recently and I asked him what he thought about Kanye slavery comments because it wasn't just about beats and sex it was about content about social content etc but I think after his mother's death something happened I'm not sure what it was I can't speak for him but he went on a different path and so you know well I can attest to the fact that I just lost my old man and I am 54 years old and I feel like an orphan and I know and you there are any number of studies that tell you that psychologically it can change you forever I understand that but to take the stance as he takes as as bright as he is in its ill-informed disease my problem would kind of stems from a couple of things that he gives white supremacist comfort he says the only person that would say the things that Kanye West has said would be a white supremacist and he'd get in trouble for this man put an asterisk by slavery slavery was bad but you know unasked with me oh yeah but you know Barry Brahn hit all those home run but yeah but so no it was and and then you're talking about how you a free thinker well free thinkers don't have liposuction because people think they have a way free thinkers wear a black t-shirt and to think they sexy any goddamn way free the nude the nude the new slave is drug addicts so you're calling people [ __ ] slaves and and you're a slave to people's idea of you and you're a slave to the two to two substances now you can be a bright man but that doesn't make that doesn't entitle you to an intellectual perspective that you don't have the mayor for you say I'm bipolar and I'm a superhero what the [ __ ] you gonna see of ipolis how you gonna see a bipolar up in the sky down on the ground I'm [ __ ] gonna be a bipolar superhero yeah I mean I just didn't beat Jamel Hill and you know we were talking about Kanye and she's like what Kanye admits publicly that he doesn't read you talked about Kanye West in the comments he made about slavery being a choice how do you feel about it now I look I still feel the same as I did then people like Kanye worry me because they're loud and wrong and they got a big platform loud and wrong and great way to describe it yeah what Kanye in particular he is trying to get on this bandwagon of you know black people need to leave the Democratic Party and stop being taken advantage of I understand that in and of itself that in itself is idea to consider but because he lacks the scope and the breadth and he himself admits he doesn't read then it's sort of like you're not even you're not even contributing something constructive to the conversation then how are you free then cackling yeah that's what I'm saying you're tackling political issues when you don't actually read about them at all so you like to sound smart to dumb people now let me take some he has the capacity for learning if you don't read you are lazy you're intellectually lazy and you're not curious why the [ __ ] would I listen to somebody who's too lazy to learn and it's not curious about the world that goes around what artist doesn't want to know about the world that he saw that he's going to see I mean what are all what people how interested in you in things that have nothing to do what you do just because you're interested as a human being just to be part of the human experience you want to know things and if you don't want to know them you're either ignorant or think you have all the answers anyway which is narcissistic you're [ __ ] sociopath which is why I can see how he likes Donald Trump right and you know Mark Twain had a very interesting quote he said the man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read write is discernible is there's no design listen I don't know their tribute is to Mark Twain and and you know there's some day right he said it's easier to fool people didn't convince people that they were fools and and and there's a lot of that in somebody that makes us feel good about ourselves like a Kanye like a Bill Cosby like a like a like and I'm not equate their actions to say but I'm talking about there is a feeling that we have of people there that they are there in the soundtracks of our lives of our of our of our you know everybody Bill Cosby is responsible for Barack Obama of Philly but I firmly believe it they saw black people in a certain way black people saw themselves in a certain way and started going to college and responding so that of course that gun you're gonna have a fond memory of that Kanye with his first couple of albums talked to a group of people that were people that no one had ever touched before our Kelly did things and you know so you can understand it Michael Jackson let me tell you something did things that did you you you just defy description that doesn't mean they weren't flawed but because of your connection to them in your memory then they can't describe some level of deity that I just I don't think that that's healthy or particularly smart well well in contrarian you had a kind of an interesting point you know and this is something we've covered on flat TV as well you know about ethnic names sure and how people get hired less when they have quote-unquote ethnic music and and you brought up the example of Barack Obama right and people say well Barack Obama has a ethnic name and look he became president but there's a very interesting distinction with Barack Obama even talk about the Harvard and yeah right he was formally educated at some of the finest schools in the land so you can do that you if you go to Harvard or Yale Columbia you can you can be named Barack Obama if your name is DeAndre you better not show up at DeVry and it's really it's really just they did this study and it talked about how teachers your verse when you're very young teachers your first contact with generally with people in the outside you're also expence people outside of your family to you know to a great degree as an individual in other words well you're not being shepherded by your mother cuz you're in church or you're a family function but generally you go to meet this lady you've never seen before you sit in a classroom with people you've never known before they form an opinion of you based on your name where you live and they treat you that way it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy so people who name their children in a way that's going to lead people to a certain mindset have to understand that invariably there is a level of cycle of risk associated with it now if you think your wrist it's worth it and you think that there's not gonna be a price to pay for it that's fine you can do what you want but statistically backwards and firmers people make these judgments based on what your name is where you live and it's not just white teachers it's black teachers - its - the Washington Post printed that article that was interesting right now if you fill out an application people will tell you people are working Human Resources the more after the same sound the less likely they'll be called yeah I mean I interviewed Warren Sapp and he has I think five kids and he specifically named each of his kids you know non-ethnic names his child is gonna be 21 23 years old in college leaving college applying to grad school and a different thing and should an equal bond week we'll the Boldin don't look that real don't good when you got an old white guy that's 5060 years old that those who eats over here with number 66 year old white guys and he don't know no bunk we shouldn't equal and iishe in the different kids names like this and he's he can't even pronounce it so what does he do put that one over there so you kept that in mind when you named your kids Carter autumn Mercedes Madison jaylen one a second he freely admitted it like all his kids have you know just basic American sounding name right my wife named all of my children to what I was I was very resentful about it she named them you can tell where they were black or white whether a boy or girl and I was irritated by that for many years you know and and what are your uh what are your kids names my tyler kyle and ryan and you can't tell what they are but it heard me at first because i felt like I was you know I was capitulated I felt like we were we were we were trying to but years later I come I came to understand that that was the wisest course of action people are gonna judge you when they see you why why would they want to judge before they even like the thing that's so funny to me is they made a [ __ ] to describe people they had never even met they made up a word that described us before they knew who we were they already made their minds up and I said this before the most dangerous place for black people to live is in white people's imagination their imagination like if you talk about black-on-black crime black people don't live where they live for the most part because they want to often times it was systematically designed they couldn't get loans in places that weren't those places the resources are gone black there's no such thing as black on black crime but it's a it's a it's an idea that white people is like have you ever noticed how Chicago is synonymous with black people but Maine isn't synonymous with white people you instantly know even though the most of people live there like like Chicago means violence to them West Virginia doesn't mean drug they're drug addicts but they the way that they can describe like I hope I never meet the [ __ ] that they have in their imagination I hope I never meet him he's big he's black he's fast he's strong he's everywhere well you talked about when you were trying to sell one of your home uh-huh I guess the real estate agent told you not to have pictures of your family I was uh I lived in West Hills and I later I sold that house so I lived in land and place called the Manta business business states I lived in one of the very first phases of that development and I you know so I'm on the street I picked the lot the biggest lot I had and we had additions to it and we built a pool and we you know invested in this home because that's what you're supposed to do when this was our chip in the game and we were and so we were ready to sell it because my wife wanted to move to Calabasas so we're ready to sell it and house the housing market at that time was pretty solid my real-estate agent said we'll take your pictures down because they're gonna praise your home and I'm like I'm like get ready take my pictures down the real estate appraiser comes and appraises my home a brand new this home was 3 years old 2 or 3 or 23 years old appraised it and so low that the I wondered was this arre it had to be damaged or repossession or destroy it or whatever and they gave me they ended up that I they asked him why I did it and basically it was because I was black other than no other reason in the fact that I lived there that I lived there they gave me the fair market value for my home and it was one hundred and fifty thousand or hundred twenty-five thousand dollars more than he was going to give me so he took real wealth from me just because he could and I was black and it perpetuates itself in that situation for it like if you look at gentrification justification is black people getting enough to move out and white people moving in but they bring whole foods and parks and grocery stores and Starbucks they bring that with him now the geographic area didn't change yeah now Glen would let me take some Linwood and Compton is in Lynwood Kevin Carter lived in Lynwood there's never there's never been a place designed for black people to live in large numbers not even the project's the only place they ever build for [ __ ] to live was jail what's prison Compton is a black said you know you know Compton one built of life it's got an airport it got a airport there's a kind when divert so County Compton was built for white people what happened was they left took their resources and it became a black people with money started together I think George Bush live in Compton at one point yeah maybe yeah yeah I think George Marcelin conference well you're an interesting quote around around this topic you said their perception of you is costing you and your family wealth and livelihood axel it's not somebody could it's not somebody calling you the n-word or refusing you at a store they're taking a piece of the American dream away from you just because well the Brookings Institute dinner exhaustive study and it talked about how our houses are devalued to almost six billion dollars because black people live there if you go to Harlem right now st. buildings right never remember 20 15 20 years ago they were selling brownstones in Harlem for a dollar for a dollar but when white never did it psychologically black people move in there goes the neighborhood why do you move in here it comes they have convinced us and and and and and banks and lending institutions and other businesses that these people are dangerous and we are your salvation yeah but if you took the resources out of anything anything there would be you can't take the resources away and then expect that neighborhood to to be viable why is it viable when you go Oakland is one of them used to be one of the blackest cities I've ever been to go there now yeah I just live in Oakland so don't yeah but it's just if in other words the only difference is black people moved out and why people move in then it's the same structure same size house same geographical area so when we talk about but I say the most danger place for us to live in white people's imagination it's because it sets the argument it be it's the narrative we know that that they're black you would almost believe that black people white people all commit crime when they do two to one virtually every crime black the way they do they always talk about black people kill black people most white people are killed by white people but no one talks about you never when I do shut up Nevada you know shot Las Vegas 200 some people are shot 60 people are killed they call that why don't work her yeah I feel you know I mean you basically said in your comedy special you said that uh you know you talked about how people kill people in their vicinity transcended that black people don't don't kill more they just have less gas money let me if you got if something happened to you unfortunately who would be the first people they talk to and held under suspicion the people around who are your intimate is you live with they look at your wife they look at your kids they look at your neighbors so stop acting like the phenomenon were people who have nothing but neighborhoods aren't more violent because they're black on a brown neighborhood our neighborhoods are more violent cuz they're poor show me a poor safe neighborhood anyway I don't care if you go to South Boston a lot of broke white people is it ain't safe yeah yeah man I feel you I feel you it's really too bad that coming into 2019 is still that same [ __ ] yeah but but it's it's they set the narrative like I mean when Luke Cage was on TV and he was a bulletproof black man I'm like we don't need a [ __ ] bulletproof black superhero that's all I need is the bulletproof [ __ ] I don't want it I don't ever want to see that when it black be white any superhero or super power it be the ability to make white people believe them look at what America will accept America accepts as a matter of principle the idea that you can be a man trapped a woman trapped in a man's body that's accepted but it still believes at the same time that black people are inherently criminal this last time we talked Halloween there was there was and there was a rash of blackface right from all over I entry right yeah Megan Kelly she said she did see and she lost her jobs so that [ __ ] a better [ __ ] a week and she's already unemployed which is hilarious to me I think I think it's I think that white people should be able to wear black face and the minute they do that credit score should go down and their blood pressure should go up matter of fact we should have Halloween on election day and that way when white people dress in blackface somebody suppresses their vote okay well recently we had a one of our regular guests on flat TV a guy named daylight mm-hmm interviews I see a couple well with daylight you don't quite know what he's gonna look like when he walks because he is always in character so he showed up like this she recently announced that yeah she's out of a record deal she had a deal she had to be I think Def Jam oh well tea I originally signed her what he was had to she has no talent whatsoever okay so so we had daylight on vlad TV and you know he showed up as his fictional half-brother Bradley right right in in full white face night and a blonde wig and you know like I've no daylight for years so it didn't really faze me but surprisingly what I saw what I saw happening in the comments was there's all these white people so upset saying look this guy is allowed to wear white face but if I did it that out you can do it listen listen let's dispense flare for the purposes of this argument let's give people permission to act any way they want you can wear a white face you can say [ __ ] you can use homophobic slurs just don't expect to keep your idea of yourself people are going to have an opinion about it you get to do all that and you're protected from from the government but you're not protected from private industry or people's perspective I don't think it's wrong for people like Ed look my mother's message to told me a long time ago and it was really one of the most liberating things that I ever said nice to go how come I can't go to this party mama say I can't go she said you can go anywhere you want to if you willing to take the ads we're gonna come along with it you go anywhere you want to it was most i I went to a lot of parties and took a lot of ass women but I got it I think that we want to pretend like you what inhibits you from saying what you want to say the fear of consequence right you you want to be what you want and do what you want with no consequence no one has that everything you do in your life you work or you get fired you love you love me and you treat me right I leave you you you praise me or are you gonna help everything you do is more of that more more more fear consequence than love hmm you ain't you ain't not drinking and driving cuz you ain't you don't want to go to jail right it's fear of consequence but in this aspect you don't want that right and the Internet's sort of a very interesting place because it sets off you know there's an air of anonymity where you can say the most vile [ __ ] to anybody and you're hiding behind a fake screen name and so forth like I've always wondered what if they subtly passed a law where you could actually look up the home address and real identity of anybody whoever comments I think that people people would be listen we pretend to be farther along as a society than we are we pretend to be and we're always like that has no place in America it does racism at the place of racism has a condo here timeshare stop with this we don't stop this idea of us can only we can only get better if the idea of us is challenged to the extent that we come we really want to be Trump is [ __ ] Trump is more like America than America cares to admit Trump is America Obama's who we want it to be Trump as who we are yeah I feel if you if you look at the popular notion of Americans around the world he [ __ ] fits every every every one of the narratives ignorant is fat lazy intellectually like stupid bully he's everything they think of us yeah pretty much yeah I mean I'm embarrassed by Donald Trump being our president not me no I'm so happy you know it makes me happy because this is white people is this the is this the best you could do this dude is the best you can do that's hilarious to me that's what you know isn't it isn't it interesting how people considered you know george w bush like the Antichrist until trump came along and now he's like almost like a dog community well now another darling she'll Obama George Bush George Bush finger is tight shoe so you feel good when you take them off like that's what do it here like to me of it like to me I never was like it was funny to one that's cute that he gave a cough drop to Michelle Obama I dug it yes that's whimsical but millions of people died in a war they didn't have to and I'm talking about a few I'm talking we just want us cuz you know Americans the thing about America will have a world series with just us in it it'll be Detroit versus New York but it's the world championship like what about your way [ __ ] your way this is about us we tend to only count our losses millions of people die in bombings and the subsequently after that and all the things that you know all our chemicals and stuff so people died because and he made a mistake and he we get that beat no you couldn't give nobody enough cough drops to make that [ __ ] go away mmm yeah I agree so it's cute I'm glad isn't that makes four it's nice but it's a whole lot of [ __ ] I'll never get a cough drop again because of you I'm in town right yeah with no repercussions no like oh my bad nope sorry oh no no weapons of mass destruction oh my bad and ice what we got we got we got this oil under control back though you know I mean and now I paint and say cute [ __ ] and give a beautiful black woman a Ricola and we're easy man you know since last time that we talked to Kashi 6-9 has gotten arrest yeah on RICO charges man is uh you know facing a whole bunch of really serious charges facing like up to life in prison in the worst case yeah you know do you think that this is the poster child for the new generation of trolling rapper like this is this is well I think you know he got he got to the the highest level essentially and dropped to the to the absolute lowest you could draw there aside from getting killed there are there are there is nothing new Under the Sun there's nothing new Under the Sun so whatever incarnation this takes it is unfortunate be careful what you ask for because you just might get it everybody wants to be a [ __ ] to the police show up everybody does that's great and fun and now you'll see I think I think I think that that that is an age Oh like it's been around since time infinitum well people you know you know when biggie said I'm ready to die guess what the face give you what you asked for now Martin Luther King said I may not get there with you okay no okay yeah I mean the same thing with two-pocket uh you know his his brother mopreme you know we talked about you know whether to pods death you know could have essentially been a side effect with how much he talked about death through his music and he agreed if you listen to his music you see through his albums you see there's a constant death chant it's always told him out dead don't forget you could die [ __ ] you die can die we could die my dog [ __ ] died [ __ ] you wanna die die die die death death [ __ ] die yeah you know what I mean and I think that's because um because Punk would have dreams too you would you know you wake up screaming his [ __ ] really so so so he was he felt he was gonna die soon yeah what is it in the Bible there is life and death there's life and death in the power of the tongue life and death like it's always funny to me because like I'm not a particularly religious man but I am a very fate like I believe I'm a spirits we cannot believe that there's something past me but oftentimes the most humane people I know are atheist because they don't base it on some kind of heaven or hell scenario it's just I would be a good person and I'm gonna try it so you know but I ascribe to a higher power but everybody I always go you know the wages of sin is death [ __ ] the wages of life is death well you a good person or a bad person one day you're gonna die whether you send the night I mean do you believe in God of course you do I don't believe you no I don't believe he's the the God that would allow people to be slave enslaved and the thing for me is and I said this is my special it's really at least dubious to me because it to be a black person in America is the same person people that gave you Jesus gave you [ __ ] right you talked about that in a special yeah the same people that gave you Jesus gave you [ __ ] and and and and that you were taught about this Bible that it was you couldn't read now if your ass was a slave and you could quote a scripture from the Bible and it looked like you read it you get killed for that I mean I just did I eat when I was young it didn't make sense to me like I stopped believing in Santa because like if Santa's been around whoever does a little slave kid I want a [ __ ] bike he want his father anyone his daddy to have his foot peg that's what the [ __ ] he wants it's just the idea this notion American Christians are the most violent judgmental least forgiving like there was that guy that left America remember the the the evangelist left America went to the most remote island in the world this island was fifty to sixty thousand years old and he was gonna teach G about Jesus and then they shot arrows out of it and landed in the Bible one of the arrows left Pierre [ __ ] but if you get shot in the Bible with an arrow if I'm up or I shoot you in Ecclesiastes it's time for you to turn around but maybe that's Jesus telling you that they ready to hear about you but the idea of these people believe it if you've been around that long maybe you know Jesus maybe it did you think the one what do we love more we love God so much we put God on our money we say dumb [ __ ] like it happened because we took prayer out of school you can't take prayer out it's good a [ __ ] gonna stop God from going to school I mean yeah I mean that whole situation we talked about that I mean the fact that someone is so arrogant that they were going to go and enter an island that was completely prohibited from anyone entering most mostly because of diseases because these people have been isolated for so long that you know a cold will wipe out that whole colony essentially the fact that you feel that Jesus is guiding you and knows better than these people to the point where you illegally enter this place and then get killed in the process an incision Jesus never works out for the people who are receiving it like when they land on the island it ain't good for them it's good for people bringing them maybe those natives over there heard about our natives and anyone ready for casinos and they and they didn't want Thanksgiving when something like that happens I am it thrills me they didn't have you that's what you [ __ ] deserve Irie and his own family actually spoke out and said that you know you know we forgive the people that killed our son nobody forced him to go over there you know he did it you know we understand why it happened that they even asked the authorities to stop - to let the people who helped him get over there you know because they were all in jail people that helped him like you know they said that nobody forced them or convinced him to go he did it on his own free will so please let you know let those people go and yeah I mean they knew their son [ __ ] up it is what it is I just yeah the American Christians I just I don't we're like every year somebody will get mad and say that there's somebody on the right will get mad and say there's a war on Christmas or some [ __ ] like that like there was a there's a picture of Jesus in a manger but then he has bars around him like he's in a cage and they're like in Sean Hannity with his shoe booty ass is saying stuff like oh it's a war on Christmas well because Jesus was a refugee right Jesus told us to javo we just he resided in a strange land and he told us how to treat people let me tell you something the manger was pretty much the cadenced of our time it's not a war on Christmas in America it's a war on Christ it's the world Jesus with nothing like him nobody could nobody could love the we spend more on being able to kill people than we do on trying to keep them alive we spend more on keeping them afraid than we do keeping them educated mmm how the [ __ ] Jesus what if Jesus came back he would probably get jammed up by TSA so long he'd never leave the airport you with the standards come in you the beard and then 12 [ __ ] tell me how come y'all Co with me - yeah the one with the hair like wool right come here so you were part of the Kings of Comedy uh-huh was that the most successful Comedy Tour never at that point it was at that point okay now you talked about how there was almost another tour right but there was essentially a beef between Bernie Mac and Steve Harvey yes you talked about that well III think we were I remember I was at the golf course and we would get ready to put it together and everybody was all excited and so it was you remember how the Lakers had Chris Paul for a second and then the next thing they did that's how it was so he was together we're all excited and the next day it didn't happen and essentially you know Bernie you know felt like he didn't want to do it he was on his own path and Steve so you know nothing like that ever happens or doesn't happen for a reason so I was disappointed but I understood that you know those kind of things happen and I just you know got the memory of being with cats that I loved and making history and putting on mark I'm making my mark on the world and I love doing it with the comedy get down with me and Georgia said and Andy Griffin so and and Charlie Murphy had that before he passed so to me it was just it was something nobody could ever take away from you and regardless of what people think about it it was it was magical and and I've had to have I've had a few of those kind of experiences that you just kind of transcend the moment and it's just kind of dope well I mean I'm actually thinking I went to the kings of comedy show in Oakland oh yeah him like it was a 99 maybe 1999 at the Oakland Coliseum I think yeah that was a hell of a it was it was the most fun I'm telling you and it wasn't you know nobody ever tried to blow out somebody else's candle to make there and there's burn brighter was just can't they had natural affinity for each other and wanting everything to go well and and and it was about the tour well I guess you talked about how you feel that the beef between Bernie Mac and Steve Harvey was because Steve Harvey was getting a lot of network love during the time and Bernie Mac not so much yeah and then Bernie started to get it and Bernie started it and then he could make his own decision he could decide that this is what he wanted to do and he made a different decision so yeah I think that you know Steve at one point was you know who were successful and then Bernie started because he didn't ever think he would get the opportunity he got but once he did America loved him like we all kind of knew they would and he decided to go a different way and no like no one resented it like I was just like we just dope for you man you go and do your thing how did you feel when you got that phone call about Bernie yes I don't think anyone saw coming did you honey well here's the thing and I talk about this all the time it had been a couple of weeks earlier we got to say a similar call where they talked about how Bernie was gone we call of course it had it wasn't true so I was on this really tough run I was had these all these dates and I said what I'll do is I know he's sick so I'll play this run and then I'll go see my friend like he'll be all right I'll play this run and then I of course I was on the run and then I got the call while I was in Vegas and he was in fact dead and one of the first thing people says he knew you loved him and I'm like that's not really how do you know that that's true if I didn't tell him so I think that that things like that like I remember when my old man was dying and and you know you know he had lung cancer and he couldn't hear and you know women are like he can hear you he knows he he knows you're there no he doesn't we that's something we say to each other but the only time that people actually know how you feel as if you tell them I show them when they're cognizant enough to know it yeah so it's just I think we say a lot of things particularly around death that make us feel more comfortable than the people we're supposed to be comforting you know one of the things you know as I was going through you know a research for this interview I didn't realize that you and TK Kirkland actually our history TK Kirkland it was my mentor he was my mentor yeah for a very long time matter of fact the places I used to play whether it was Berlin West or Mis whiz or comedy act theater were all xenos so these were all you know I came up on him and put me on stage and give me tips and come over my house for dinner and mattify he got his teeth fix on my dental plan cuz I worked at the LA Times my mother said my wife's still mad at me about that now my son Kyle arizuka is named after his son so we were very you know he was very I just thought he was and giving and talented and so on he went on to over there waa and when he came back you know I took over at the Berlin West and I took over and she knows and all the clips he had all the clubs in LA he was hosting and when he came back they're like we're gonna stay with you and that caused a little bit of attention friction and it was weird for a little while but not that you know I still have nothing but respect and gratefulness for we the position he put me yeah me he's a regular yes a lot to say about that yeah he's been there a bunch of times man one of them one of the funniest and one of the funniest guests fans always don't he's very dope and completely unapologetic you know says he's never gonna get married yeah he's gonna maintain multiple girlfriends was kind of late now late now my love finish this whole thing go for the ride yeah I don't blame you well I mean I mean speaking of uh you know women in your life in your comedy special you talked about how you don't have life insurance no well I do I do have life insurance but because life insurance is so weird because not only do I have to take care of you while I'm here I gotta take care of you after I'm gone too and all you're gonna do is marry another [ __ ] been y'all spend my money together which seems weird but they I think it's it's you know there's a you try to prepare for people are people for for them to be prepared for a life or potentially something could happen but my wife got mad cause I didn't get life insurance on her she said you're not gonna what about me I'm like what happens if I if I go early what's gonna happen to you guys I'm like we'll be sad and basically sadness and more closet space it will be very sad but I will have a lot of room to put a lot of [ __ ] I'll be like but but sad but class right good good cuz I mean I guess you said someone asked you would you get remarried you said well not at the funeral not you wait today that would draw suspicion hey you guys and kids meet your new mama now let's do this this that tell the police that we you know so yeah right because you said that if you if your wife passes you'd have to tell the kids they're getting a 33 year old oh yeah you can step mine oh definitely I'm gonna give me if something happened I hope it doesn't but if it does I'm definitely give me a Puerto Rican oh yes I promise yeah the Puerto Ricans there's a long absence absolutely or somebody don't speak English well I know somebody oh sure absolutely that's your we'll have you ever noticed like when a when a when a black woman dates outside of race or particular like a famous black woman they go well she did the best she could she took that [ __ ] for long as he could well you know we can feel that way too god damn it if we can feel that way too yes I'm giving a Puerto Rican or something what a can on the end of it Porto Rican Dominican something well you said that uh in your county in a contrary you said that uh your son has a white girlfriend yes and your but your daughter has black boy yes yes and that you got you're gonna treat the grandkids differently I would I'm gonna treat my grandkids okay treat my white kids come pop all taking out of get ice cream now you [ __ ] cleaning this house I'm gonna get them I'm gonna treat them like the rest of the world dude I'm trying to get that right and you know what else Vlad now when when I have grandkids my name is gonna be grandad Paul Paul my name is gonna be him because I want them to be very educated for sound like [ __ ] when they talk about me is him home where's him at him said I could have some money hey if they don't call me him I won't answer to him okay you know and you know we were talking about about comedians apologizing I remember Gary Owen who you know who's been on right I'm glad TV a few times whether he did this in my interviewer whether he did it on his Instagram I think was on Instagram or he said that whenever you know people perceive a comedian going over the line the comedian will apologize but they never really mean it well you I don't think I think that if I think reverse of it I think why apologize giving an apology means you feel like you did something wrong or somebody has convinced you that you did something wrong that's worth apologizing for I just I just don't think that and obviously there are people many a truth is spoken in jest and you know you know but comedies elementally different things is irony and satire it's all these things and the point of what I say in at least in my estimation is that I I don't want people to know whether I'm serious or not this is but people are trying now to let people off the hook now if you're on social media they'll put just kidding or lol because they want but I think that that that defeats the purpose of humor I think they shouldn't you know whether you're serious or not like I don't all the comedian's you've ever been around now you've been around all the grace you want and you know it's interesting to me also when you know when I interview comedians and you know sometimes we hang out beforehand and afterwards it's interesting to me to see who's really funny when you turn on the camera and who's not really that funny with the cameras off whereas who's just 24/7 like for example Mike Epps is just funny period all around he doesn't stop out of all the comedian's you've ever been around who is just the absolute funniest human being you've ever encountered Charlie Murphy Charlie Murphy really Hardy man okay he knows that right I've interviewed Charlie funny okay human being in conversation I've ever heard him and George Lopez are the funniest Charlie then George are the funniest like I'm like what the [ __ ] are you talking like that the way that they I would say if I were if I was saying the funniest people just listening to them or you just in life where I just listen to him I have a conversation with him is Charlie Eddie a Charlie George and Andy Griffin like because Eddie you'll be talking him and I'm like you can't [ __ ] believe that you and he's serious as a [ __ ] hard egg and it's the funniest [ __ ] ever Charlie might be might have been one of the meanest nicest people I've ever met like it was and George says some of the most searing is so searing and hurtful and true that is hilarious and he says it all like I'm talking about just in conversation they're not so you can always tell if somebody's working you for a bit or if somebody's but just talking to them off of this is that is I I could I can't wait just I can't wait to hear what they ever say anything about anything to relationships of menu food a pair of shoes [ __ ] I remember I was we've had a gig and we left Buffalo and drove all the way I forgot what see we're all on the bus whatever it's Atlanta there's a 12 14 hour bus ride I was so tired I fell asleep and I always sleep with my clothes off on that time the [ __ ] talked about me literally from Buffalo to Atlanta from Buffalo to Atlanta and I woke up and everybody fell out because they said like nobody couldn't but they talked the whole time and I had no idea what's going on but those cats are you could just tell that they come by it they tapped into some other [ __ ] that there aren't the prep forward they're just [ __ ] weird in hilarious yeah I mean Tracy Morgan I think was the other one yeah Tracy Morgan's liked it too yeah Tracy Morgan Edwards just like he does not off it does not matter if there's a camera or not he's always funny any and he's insane Tracy Morgan one time after you got hurt I'm like man I'm so sorry that you did this happen to you it was a tragedy I'm so sorry man he said a deal I could have got hit by a Snapple truck I like this they don't even make that Network again hey Bryce never took him like wow that's true you got hit by the right thing yeah what if you got hit by you whoo truck come on yeah they have me you're not catching out you remember okay this is very sad but you know those duck boats that people are on and they you know that they had 20 million dollar insurance that's it for all those people that's what they got we got 20 million dollars and it's all these people that died and all these lawyer fees so nobody's getting it that's bad that's hard that's a tragedy upon a tragedy he got hit by the rank corporation I just interviewed a Jamel Hill mm-hmm and we talked about cuz you know she made the the comments about Trump or being a white supremacist and Curt Schilling who also had a show at ESPN at the time called her a racist so my issue is that Curt Schilling and his supporters if you will are trying to play the game of false equivalency I don't know the reasons why Curt Schilling was let go from ESPN that's above my pay grade I'm not his boss but I do know that Curt Schilling posted some memes that weren't anti-muslim anti-transgender which is not the same as what I did and if people can't see why then I don't know what to tell you read a book of it and people have to keep in mind that in terms of the workplace his host on baseball tonight is a Muslim and a verb there are transgender people that work at ESPN so how do you think they feel coming into work knowing that one of their big spaceball personalities has made it known how he feels about these two groups of people in particular he called Muslims Nazis oh I'm sorry posted a meme in which it said that Muslims were basically the new Nazis but people want to put our situation on the same level and he of all people wants to call me a racist okay even white people say I come with racism me that I have to have an apparatus to support Nate I can't be reverse racism I never owned you I don't have a system in place that substitutes you you I can be a bigot I can be presidents but I can't be a racist it requires the power a system that I don't have I have banks and I'd have to have police departments and an education and businesses that all conspire to make me you just I make you uncomfortable Curt Schilling white people do not like to admit the advantages that they have have had whether they have willfully acted on them or not just being white the ultimate superpower is whiteness that's the ultimate superpower 50 [ __ ] being bulletproof the ultimate superpower is white cuz you never get shot and you never get blamed for nothing that's you never get blaming of it everything so what so what white man is the equivalent of Superman absolutely let me ask you something you got we caught you we got the president someone sexually assaulted me nothing talk about the mother on tape with an informant telling he broke all kind of camp well that shouldn't be a or enhance said it well you know anything can be under the law you know you could make anything illegal [ __ ] that's the purpose of laws if you don't like a loss slavery was illegal after a while but first it wasn't mm-hmm and you they only do that for certain people so I think they would never I can't be a racist until all those things or she can't be a racist races don't fire themselves from their companies yeah they don't fire them remember Chris Chris Rock and his special yeah he said anyone you know how about this I'll let white people could say the n-word and I could raise interest rate yeah how's that that's [ __ ] spectacular I and I think it's more like I thought Donald Sterling's in the losses team for saying what he said I think that there are places you should be able to be hateful like you should be able to be bigoted in your own house and hateful in your own house but the problem is we pretend like we told well get to we all you know at work we get along I love the blacks and the gays and the inspections you get home for these [ __ ] in and the Mexicans don't keep messing up this potluck if they bring one more more more badger tamales to the potluck I swear to God so if we pretend to feel a certain way and do not but the one great thing about it is that that's why ultimately to me comedy is more relevant than it ever has been before because now everybody's trying to bring it to heal listen it's like if you want to deal with wild animals like like there are certain animals and it's my favorite tattoo the lion and the tiger are more powerful but with the wolf never performs in the circus there are certain animals that you like now I know you Mickey I know you're making that lion do what you want I know you're doing that devious you doing it to the second you hit me with that whip I'm at it Chuck yeah so and I think sometimes you can hire comedians and you can want a certain thing but sometimes your dog takes his [ __ ] on the floor or blinds some Mike Epps Mike Epps posted something on Instagram last month which I found kind of interesting it has a picture of a Richard Pryor and you know it's got him thinking you know it's got like a little quote by him and said I would have never made it as a comedian today try and tell jokes do you sensitive [ __ ] true you think if Richard Pryor came out today that he would have made it with this environment I think that you could say that about a lot of things I think that I don't think Reagan would be a Republican I don't think Richard would be I think when you look at what we used to laugh at and what we don't now can you imagine doing all in the family now no can you imagine doing The Jeffersons now know our master mass had a character called spearchucker Jones on the spear Chuck really yeah look it up spearchucker Jones look up google spearchucker Jones about to Google spearchucker Jones he was the black running back who's and they called a spear chucker John a spear chuckers negative [ __ ] oh wow ya know that that's a that's a racial slur yeah it was called spear chuckers on mass do you remember when Redd Foxx was in the middle of the court and said he said all these black don't you ever ask why people say I read white people all the time he said you do or would it it's enough [ __ ] in here to make a Tarzan movie you could never do that man well yeah I mean remember Eddie Murphy his his you know raw and delirious you know [ __ ] ass fans and stuff like that imagine imagine you saying that in your Netflix special I wouldn't it wouldn't it well first off you you would have a corporate entity that would take it out not cuz Netflix you know they you know they now they've kind of very they've had some negative experience with some of the things that they've said and done so I didn't really too much had that problem but look at what about the there was a song called Chuck Berry had called my ding-a-ling remember that yeah I remember play that now play it now and that's where we are right now I am NOT in you know I'm giving right out of here to something wrong but I'll tell you this I am not beholding to your idea of me your expectations of me your desires for me I'm beholden to my artistic vantage point that's the only thing the only thing that is I'm not everything else I'm guessing the only thing I'm an expert in is me what's your take on this whole king of R&B debate that's so dumb particular first up you gotta have more than one song SEC and you have to have gone through more than one device to be the king of something you gotta rain a long time you gotta go through CDs and eight tracks and 45 and LPS if they ask that a ringtone you pretty much have never been in conversation it's all you've got is a ring yeah yeah I mean Michael Jackson you could say was the King when he was you could say that Prince took over that that job could say Marvin Gaye available there are a lot of people you can say what you can't say about is a dude that got a [ __ ] ringtone you know I think the funniest part of the whole debate is when Jay Holliday made the video and then someone mistook him for a valet all right listen up man this is fun one R&B singer - the rest of y'all [ __ ] man listen here and this is some real [ __ ] from my heart that [ __ ] that [ __ ] that man said there's three kings of R&B the first one sold 20 million on his first out I'm not valet baby now with a Gucci jacket on I'm not bad late baby the second king of R&B is from Chicago and the third one is from Tappahannock four and five right here Nerva t taken up so upset about that he put his shirt on so it was Bally the world is Gucci he actually put that out the fact that he actually released it was even funnier all right dear hugely man always a pleasure wise man huh you know absolutely watch contrary Thank You Man watch contrary one of the best end up so they think you know any you you got your fight essentially I'm writing a new book what I'm gonna try to get black people the same protection there's animals you hunt I think black people will be better protected if they were under the protection of fishing game rather than police well I mean now that you mentioned that Jeter about PETA yeah you know hold on let me actually pull this up yeah cuz they they compared anti-animal phrases to racist yeah like bringing home the bacon is the equivalent of calling a black man the except the bacon was never slaves and never had their children sold off and never were denied the right to vote and live they were raised for one specific thing they actually were animals we were considered animals but the interesting thing you remember after that Charleston South Carolina does Church the mother Emanuel Church but those nice people weren't killed by Dylan roof you know what happened two weeks after that Cecil the lion was killed by that dentist and with the Minnesota Cecil the lion was killed you know what happened as a result of that they put all this money together and hired Rangers and not one other line from that pride has been killed not a one of the lion sits there I want Caesars a [ __ ] to have the same protections and seasonal lion so it'll be I'm excited about right netbook no doubt I can't
