didn't know what's there in the name of Jesus I give you my life because you cared this morning I was getting dressed and I noticed you know you you deeper now you know it do you think that you know people don't think you soft now cuz you digging so deep into yourself what's that there's so much deeper now it's like I'm heard more now so there's different opinions now you know where there was once there was once just the opinion of you I'm saying my hood you know my dogs you I'm saying that was the only one that was copping my joints in the forget it you know saying burn everybody even caught on to it so it's like I got a lot more opinions I'm saying well cop it if you like it you know I'm saying you like it if not you know alright yeah sure what was your childhood like what would you like right now I mean it was you know I mean it was what it was because I was reading about how you met your wife and you know she was saying that she saw because she was raised Muslim yeah yeah she says Tara she had the same house and I know it in but I saw she said it was attracted to you because you had that edge you know what she kind of saw me you know making the move you know she was in the house and I was in the stadium stance it was like that you know obviously the track zapatero saying I went down you know you know but um that's that's dusty about a man I mean there's all kind of things that women find attractive about a man but one of the things that is the most sexiest about me it's a man in love and you are deeply in love with your wife you profess it you talk about it you write about it and and of it you're not ashamed of it you pull her up into your world on stage and and I think that is so incredibly sexy [Applause] [Applause] my dad was speaking to me you know remember when you first met you and I thought you was a group yeah this is my question forward legs right did you give your wedding rings and analyst um we went to a fuel gauge arranged okay who doesn't do that is something totally different I'm saying it makes all the ears and all the arguments and all the translations worth Wow 1998 but it was like we've been together like 12 years but you gotta wait do they get their money get the wife that wants the wedding with the friends and the limo like the first day I sort of go over because it was like it we from the first day I met her we moved in together cabs to my house where I used to live caps house first first alone she's pregnant girl this time I got two boys man you been doing it from the back on the back you do miss yeah she'll know what I'm saying I mean it's like hey you know just because you're knocking to go for giving us some ass some don't don't mean you love among cinema to feel good you feel accepted for what it is leave it alone no love when you see love for real and you knew that was your love and you saw I felt like I was a hero yo say first right away Paris I'm like listen you know well number come between us this place right that's you know it's my mother her father buffer don't matter to that she was like no my parents are not gonna stop me from loving you yeah and that's hot because I was good yeah yeah when you love a man ain't nobody gonna stop you there you go 9 + 2 9 and 2 yeah and a nice it used to be at Apollo I mean do you get up and you know I don't there's no company's Anatomy in the morning no you talk to you know anybody you just gotta be conserving your voice and you know just that I'm not a morning person might get the wrong side of me well what's happening [Laughter] [Laughter] did you look off in the breakfast you ready I want to ask you about you're a great actor thank you yes all rappers but when you're making that transition you know people really look and they're like yeah yeah and I felt that heat to first of all don't even like them and like you know most these cats out here doing it thing ain't really doing it you don't see it getting on because of their name you know saying but you know you got somebody you see these doing it's very respect that matter you know right some happen well we appreciate that's right DM X now we were before we took the break we were talking about acting on someone how much I loved just to see you put it down because you know how people are saying it and exit wounds you actually it's different for me for music music is music when you're going to movie one into a character music though that attracts people to people yeah because it's like you give in yourself and they see you're like inside you when you perform it and when you write and then when you know with hearing and that's when it started when I was like I just love them for you because now you know I know a lot of people have problems with rappers taking over nachiket studied all my life and I always say to those people everybody has the same plan to get on that big screen everybody just has a different route of getting there but this is what I want to ask you did you prepare for that action because acting is not easy and you could only be yourself on the screen so many times before that plays out because you really have to have a craft and you really have to learn tools and and how to do it so do you have a coach did you study my first movie no the first now what was your persuasion wounds I did did he ever go into me you know yeah I know I'm not the best at this I know I'm not as good as I can be at this one not taking people you know either you can act you can't act you have a natural talent so you if you hone it it will become better there's something you're gonna further you know study in the movie no cradle to the grave oh that's what's that leave yeah oh that's like scene in it no I'm saying I forget all that hanging trainer nothing nudity wasn't a bigger mature I'm at the stage in my career where I couldn't you know kind of put that in there I need one at widows who's your first belly so belly with us

we all have our paths that we all have to struggle to our neighborhoods in Suffolk what point in your life did you say go make it I'm gonna turn this around and I'm gonna make something of myself in my life I get to say that that's date that was that was date that profound Oh like a [ __ ] can't read I can read on the grace of God I mean that is the only way I walk no by His grace that's right that's by his understanding I mean one day I'll say this is where I'm going oh you know what you've already said that you may not I've done it you've become insane okay were you done it toward us to
