human, he was a Nova, man. Pac

35:00

was Prince at 24. I

35:05

know all these dope people, man, and you just

35:07

go, you know it when you know it. Pac

35:09

was just, he

35:11

was special. He would probably be dropping his 40th

35:15

album, because he was a

35:17

writer. You had a big post about

35:19

like, with the Drake and Kendrick

35:21

thing where you were like, hey, you

35:23

know, people get murdered in

35:26

this. Yeah. Because

35:28

you were at the tunnel and all

35:30

that, and you were friends with Biggie

35:32

and Tupac. Yeah. I

35:35

saw, first of all, Pac,

35:38

I did Above the Run with Tupac.

35:41

Players, I'm okay, you know me. Fucking

35:44

good player at a wheelchair, man. I

35:47

got cool with him because I used to go down to the

35:50

set of Juice, because Omar Abs is my best friend. We

35:53

were kids, so I would go down to

35:55

the set, and me, him, and Pac got

35:57

real cool. to

36:00

hang out and what we identified with, we

36:02

were all very similar. Like, we're from the

36:04

hood, but we're not of the hood,

36:06

but we are. Like, we could touch it. We

36:09

could live that life, but we choose not to

36:11

because we're performing arts, high school kids. We're

36:13

trying to run away from the muck. Park

36:15

just kept getting sucked back in. So,

36:18

the three of us hung out a lot. And

36:21

when Park hung out with us, we would laugh.

36:23

And if Park, you told a joke, and

36:26

you had one up on him, he was

36:28

gonna get one up on you. He had to

36:30

be the funniest. If he was fighting, he had

36:32

to have the most punches. He was always that

36:34

guy. Um, and I

36:36

saw Park 20 minutes

36:39

before he got shot. Me

36:42

and Omar and Mitchell, my

36:44

other friend went to performing arts, high school with, was

36:47

in, um, uh... at

36:51

the Luxor, getting into a cab. And

36:55

Tupac was getting into that BMW. And

36:58

he had all these people around him. And

37:01

Shug and all that. Were you still seeing him every

37:03

once in a while? Yeah, we saw him with them,

37:05

and I was like, come on, guys, let's just keep

37:07

going. I turned to the white

37:09

guy. Our cab's great. He's busy. And Omar's

37:12

like, nah, fuck that. We gonna go say

37:14

what's up. I said, you sure

37:16

about this? I'm gonna trust your

37:18

dark skin instinct. And

37:20

then we went over, and Omar said, what's up? And

37:22

we gave hugs, and I said, what's up? And we

37:24

sat there, and we talked, and we laughed. And

37:27

then their car pulled up.

37:30

And, uh, we said our goodbyes, and we got

37:32

in the car. And then, on

37:34

our way there, 20 minutes later, we heard he got

37:36

shot. We thought he was gonna make it. Yeah.

37:39

We had no idea he was gonna pass. Uh,

37:42

because he had been through so much already. And then

37:44

Biggie, I saw at the

37:46

automotive museum, because I

37:48

know Puff and all

37:51

those guys for years. So,

37:53

because I went to Howard University. Yeah. I

37:55

saw them going up the escalator, and living color

37:57

was on, and Biggie was like, yo. I

38:00

love you or your brother's shit. And

38:05

then 20 minutes later, bah, bah, bah, biggie

38:09

died. And I went to the hospital and

38:11

Puff and all of them was outside crying. And

38:13

it was like, oh, shit. And then

38:16

flipped back to 10 years or 15 years

38:19

prior. There's

38:22

a picture. Pop called me out to come

38:24

hang out. And him

38:26

and Biggie were performing at

38:28

Glam Slam, which was Princes Club downtown.

38:31

There's a famous picture with Tupac and Biggie.

38:34

And if you look in the corner, there's a

38:36

young Marlon Wayans in the corner just like twisting

38:38

money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was it wasn't 15

38:40

years. It was like five years or something, right?

38:42

Because 15 would have been the 80s. I don't

38:45

know. Yeah, but yeah. It's all a

38:47

dream. You get to be a 52. To

38:49

me, they just died yesterday. So

38:52

yeah, man, that was a. What

38:56

you're saying is you're a bad luck charm. Guys,

38:59

if you're around Marlon Wayans, you're about

39:01

to get shot. Duck. 20

39:03

minutes and duck. But

39:05

while I was saying to Kendrick and Drake, it's like,

39:08

y'all be aware of your

39:10

words. You're aware of the power

39:12

of your words. I

39:14

knew both these greats. Yeah.

39:17

Take your egos out of this. Save your life

39:19

and be an example for all these other kids

39:22

because shit gets real. And then it

39:24

compiles. And now look at what happened at

39:26

Drake's house. It's just like, y'all

39:28

gotta shake hands and let it be love because at

39:31

the end of the day, this is just art, man.

39:34

But you know, it takes a

39:36

long time. The older you get, the

39:38

easier it is to drop shit. I ain't got no beef

39:40

with nobody, man. No, no, but I'm saying when you're 20

39:42

in hip hop. When

39:44

your knees are good. Exactly.

39:47

Yes. When you can scrap

39:49

with anybody at any time and you're

39:51

like, when it. Sure, that's more than

39:54

ain't fighting anybody. Exactly. So

39:56

it's like, so you, I'm sure even if you

39:58

could talk to them now would be. like, no,

40:01

for a while it's like fuck them, fuck them,

40:03

fuck them. But then eventually they

40:05

would have come to like, man, that was a fucking waste of

40:07

time. That was a

40:09

huge mistake. Stupid. Yeah. I

40:12

seen it swirling out of control and I was

40:15

just like, y'all don't see what's happening here? I

40:18

knew it was going to get dark. I knew, I

40:20

just knew it. And I started to feel it

40:22

with this Drake and Kendrick thing. And I was

40:24

like, listen, I'm going to say something. Call me

40:27

the old man in the room. Yeah. But if

40:29

I can just be like, hey, hey, hey, young

40:31

man, I think you're both great. I think everybody's

40:33

great. And I think J Cole to

40:36

me, he gives all my

40:38

respect for being like, I'm not, this

40:40

is not my plan. I ain't fucking with none of this. This

40:42

ain't my spirit. I thought that was the, that was some grown

40:44

man shit. I was like, he has to have

40:46

some great dick hair. That was a

40:48

great dick hair moment. Yeah. Yeah. You're absolutely

40:50

right. Whereas it's like, yeah, you just go,

40:52

what the fuck you know, what the fuck.

40:54

You're going to make mean rhymes about people

40:57

that I love. Yeah, stupid. That's

40:59

the lamest shit I ever did in my

41:01

fucking life, right? You have, you

41:03

don't like confrontation in relationships.

41:05

No. You've

41:07

been married or you have, how many baby

41:10

mother? Only two. Okay.

41:12

And is it the same

41:14

issue? No. So

41:17

you, how do you, you just avoid conversation.

41:20

Like you don't start it or

41:22

you try to, I just don't like

41:24

to argue. I just like to have fun. Yeah. I just

41:26

want to have fun. All I want to

41:28

do is have fun. I don't argue. I don't want

41:30

to talk about a relationship. If I

41:32

got to talk about the relationship, then we're not

41:35

in the relationship. We're walking through your anxiety and

41:37

through your fears. Because if you're

41:39

in this relationship, then you're loving me, you're

41:41

hugging me, you're touching me. We're holding hands.

41:43

We're laughing together. All this

41:45

talk about this now,

41:47

you're giving me anxiety. I

41:50

don't want to argue. I just want to smile.

41:53

And if I'm 52 and

41:56

God blesses me to live another 20

41:58

years.
