Don't get it twisted on code and we danceing for no buttament biscuits. It's Willie d y'all scarfaces in recovery, but he is with us in spirit. Collectively we are the Ghetto Boys, reloaded with another episode of information and instructions to help you navigate through this wild, crazy, beautiful world. In the studio, I guessed I I least Sad is in the building. What's up? I leave man? I'm all good well it? What's good? Brother man? This is my

dog family. Want to let you'all know straight out the gate man. You got a name, Just start with the name what's in the name, I leased a dick. You got one of those type righteous spiritual names. You know. Now you're a black man in America, How did that name come to be? Um? You know, people name me. You know your mom actually named you as your mom and dad. Damned it, your dad, I hate you because a lot of times, you know, people get to go to get that black just not even just goes and

people change that. I think people forget. It was a whole wave in the sixty and seven and black men was changing their name because they ain't want to be connected to the system and saying so because it was these are names that was given to us anyway. So sometimes your last name, you know, it's it's connected to whoever owned your people, and your first name was you know who was? If we come from not if we come from a continent that indigenous don't even speak English.

I wanna speak English. So why we named Jane, Paul and Mike and Joe and all these Canaus and all these names that you know didn't come from the place that we came from. You know what I'm saying, that's that's that's white folks, um colonizers business. So people change their name sixties and seventies. Man, um what my grandfather I don't know what my grandfather um name was when he came over here, but then he decided he's gonna be Bill at one time, and then all of a

sudden it was Chakwan. I'm like, I'm like the same Mr Bill, Like, yeah, hey man, you gotta ditch it, y'all. Now every everything house, like Franken said, murder but through that used to that lockerfel alone that stayed since. Yeah, you know, that's how our life go about having the name, like having that Muslim name and being connected to the

mother Land. I mean, does it give you a certain sense of like pride that you don't see in some other people that you know that has it was colonized names like myself, because you know that's the people are who they are. You know. It's like and especially in this society. I used to think that your name would be just would change who you were it. But it's about if you don't change the character how you like. I always said I've never met a good Willing. Ever

then I met you, but I never. But prior to that, every Willing I knew was slicked in the can and and nobody ever referred to him as a good personal Willing saying, then then I mean to you, I'm like man Willy, you know, because you are always been, you know, one hunted. You know, even when you're in your involvement, when you when you this is the thing about understand

the person and the name that's connected to it. So somebody say Willie, now to me, the first thing I put a d on in will it d And then if you got to till me, that's not who you're talking about. If I were talking about some shady business and they said, Willie, you're talking about black Willy, dirty as from Brown Forest, saying, so it depends on the context of what somebody is talking about. You know, how you think of this person? You know, I don't, I

don't know. I don't know any Kims that wasn't sophisticated and grown it and like in high school she was she was she was too grown from middle school and in high school she was way too sophisticated for us. You never even talked to him. I never met a Kim that was like a ratchet Kim because all I connected with the Kims that I knew every king was bad. Like I never met a chick that was named Ogre that wasn't find all I do because she had to be because the name Ogre is a the Trent. Then

you're like, I'm not over fine. I know one, I know two black chick's name over and they probably still find to this day because they was ain'ty fine in middle school? Man, when you when you in middle school and you got helps already, because you know, ain'ty fine. Every ain'ty got helps it. I don't really know a lot of amimers didn't got here because she's not really that because she got your cousin. She already got kids.

Because you like, boy, ain't and you'll see somebody else ain't and you're like, how you know because you're fine. Nobody you look at your mom like that. Nobody even look at your mom like that with your ain't I ain't find it. So that's a Southern thing though, Yeah, I men walk us through what life is like in

the Sadik household. You growing up in Houston. So the thing is periods of life was in Houston because you know, my my mom was a g so when she came here, my dad brought out here from California with what she already had us when she came here. So and how old are you? Um? Two three? And they break up when they get here because my daddy was, wow, I ain't gonna lie. He always say you because he used to run into Counic homes with this cad name LC mohammedan Oh and this fish King. That's why I always

loved fish King. That's why I used going with my daddy. So my mom Moyen, she was, you know, trying to come up, got kids, no education really, so she went back to school and she couldn't take care of so she sent us, being responsible, she sent us today with our sisters. So we're in Mississippi for two years, then we and Chicago for two years. Then you know, we're just moving around. Then you back in l A. You know,

we're living with your uncle. So you got what. My MoMA had ten siblings, so my uncle, then my uncle at back the end was my aunt you and this and my aunt Angela and my uncle Donald lived in Mississippi. On Angela moved to Chicago, so I left with her and went to Chicago. Then we went back to l A. After I left from Chicago, then we came, then we

came here. Me and my sister always traveled together. So my mom was very responsible on how you don't leave your kids or anybody leave your kids with your family, and you know, she took she she would come visit and send us money and then she got on her feet and boom, we're here. She brought us head. Then she had my little sister. When we got back, you know, she had with um, we're ron which is my stepdad.

Stay together. Now, Still, did that instability play a role in your becoming a man as far as like not having that structure, Like I know that when I I grew up, we themn that lived in a new house every day. Even though we lived in Houston the whole time we lived in a I'm not every day, but every year we moved like every single year. So when I became an adult, it wasn't hard for me to just get up and move to another apartment or house or whatever. You know, do you find yourself like in

the same position. Nah, it was because I didn't see that as not being stable. I saw that as that was normal to you. That's traveling as a family, that's like you with your family. I'm not with strangers. You know, if I was like it was like from pillar to post, I would you know it would be different. But when we I'm with my grandmother and missive when it first started out, then my aunts and everybody take care taking care of so it's like a family unit. We moved.

The only time I felt like out of order is when we got up and went to Chicago. It's because it's just me, my aunt, my cousin Ricky, my little cousin Marvin. There's it. We're not in You're not in Chicago with family. So California is the easiest move where you got my uncle ed with Charles. You got my uncle Moran, you got my uncle Bolton, got his family, got my uncle David, and then you've got my uncle Lamont. You know, so you got and you got the major

of our family, which is my aunt Willow. She's still alive now, she's a hundred and eight, still in Compton. Her house, you know is a is a is the staple of our family. So living with your family is not unstable. But if I was living with strangers or in and out of group homes, I would definitely feel like I wasn't stay because everybody This is the key dynamics to a testability. In my mind, my mother's rule were no different than my grandmother's rules and my aunt's rules,

my uncle's rules. It's the same. It's the same. I'm getting the same spell and changeable what I'm saying. So I'm not the The instability came when I made it, when I was asking, I made a decision. Which is which is the walk through my new special the domino effect. It's when I live with my dad. I'm in Houston. I'm living with him, and this is not no stable environment. And even though he got money, we're living a We live in a good place, but I live in some

All adults live in some. All of those condominiums your children an't supposed to be over on the weekend. I'm here, this is where I live at. How many siblings did you have? But with my dad only me and my sister, but Mama, my little sister, and how but who you spent the most time with growing up? And my older sister? And how how many years? Just too like that's that's my second mama, Like that's who. And that's the thing

about stability. My mama's rules was how you take care of your little brother while I'm in I while I'm going got two jobs, I go to school. I need my My sister's been cooking full course meals. She was like six because my mama prepperate and tell my moss what to put the oven on and everything. We we we um key around last key kids. We got key in our pocket and our shoe. We come and gotta let ourselves in the house. And my sister's responsibility was to take care of me while my mom was around.

So I remember my mother gave my sister a that look because he'd be acting up in the morning. Y'all gonna walk to school. If he act up, you whip his ass, you and me and I'm standing there like, first of all, I don't give get type of authority over me. So and my sister would take that serious for bring your ass song. Moster is talking to me eight bring that sounds like my sister. It's like, say, man, I wish you would put your hand and my us to beat my ass down to It was like let

me go. And I never played with him to this day. MS raise her hand up. Those they were sowell. She raised her hand up and I was like, I wish you would have been. She's like, what am I think about hing you? But I'm it's still that same. Hey, man, don't play with me and I don't play with my sister. I don't play with my mom. I did that come a time when you would big enough and strong enough

to actually beat your sister fighting? And you fart your sister and hit my sister in the eye and got the brakes beat off yours and my daddy whoop my to no end to mine. I never get I'm talking to my sister ship. My sister told my daddy and that nigger told the steps down trying to get to me. But all the time that be know you and you told him about that, he didn't know. I never I never told on it down, like man, it's normal, normal

and want of your mouth bleeding. Shouldn't get my sitting over there bouncing like yeah, I make the other side of his near my bleed. Right. You know why I ask you that, right because the same thing happened with me and mold his sister. My sister was gangster, I mean, beat up anybody in the neighborhood. She was two years older than me when she still is and used to you know, be she just like took her role serious as the carekeeper. You know, like after my mom was

not at home. Anytimes she went on, she just just jumped right into the row like start arder year round, like you can't go over here, you can't you can't go outside, you can't watch television. And and I'm like I was on a real like I was always bucking, so she was always winging on me. Man, I mean whooped me all the way till fourteen. Now. I started boxing when I was eleven. I'm boxing dudes, my sides, my sisters bigger than me, right and uh and stronger. So it took me all the way until I was

in the seventh grade. One time we get into a fight and I get her because now I'm at, I'm at I'm really getting strong now, right and I and I and these hands are just cold, I'm their hands are just very, very dangerous. So I put him on my sister. She tried to jump me, and I put them hands on her, and boy, my mama came home man and beat the breaks off my ass and I and I really I felt extra bad because I'm like, damn all these things she's been whipping my ass. I

get one win and I get a beating. Yeah, but that was the last time I ever put hands on on my sister. Never tell again, like yeah, I know, you gotta hit mysels and the eye and she it's like one step she was up all the steps, one step she was upstairs, and my daddy was downstairs with one fools around the whole corner. Everything am I visualizing this man? What man came down around the corner, like god,

damn he fair. I think this pushed me outside through the walls and man, my daddy was not playing about that little girl man me. And then I got I got it from my mama. You know, I still have go back to my mouth. And my sister, I was black. My mom, because she hadn't seen as my daddy hows over the weekend, came back and my sister, I think she led in with that eye. She walked in with a high first and my mama said, what happened? You're goddamn face, And my sister said, your son. I mean, man,

I'm telling I don't think people realize. Man, it's a lot of times I watched my mama put both my shoes on at the same time from a seated position. My mom, we just jumping her shoes. I still do day. I've sit on couches and I've tried to jump in both my shoes. Still ain't never managed to do it. But my mama, man, because she before eleven, Willie, I'm telling you, as soon as she's mad and you were sitting there, your mama ain't got no shoes on. And before you know, your mom and your chest, and she

got both you and she. My mama had a mom had a couple of moves that she used to even when I got bigger than eleven. My mom would turn away, like turn her head like she was looking at something and chop you in the throat. It was very accurate to like your neck is exposed, and that's too much for you, Like you too great. You can't be standing up on top of her. So she will look away and hit you in the throat. And when you turn you like this and she's standing up like now, that

sits your head downs and we can talk. You. I had a lot of moves, man, you got that. You got that one latle move where she can I don't know when my mama started fighting, but with seven brothers, probably very early. She could go in to your body and hit your knee with her knee, so it puts you all balance. So when you're going that way and she catch you, so the force of you falling and she turning edgine bone and you out with that one. That was a class, that was a classic. And then

the duck down. My mama just ducked down and she had throw she'd throw it right right to your stomach, bob, and you go for it, and she just trying to open you up for the left, and she throw that hook. My mama had a man hook. Your mama used all

these moves on you. Yeah, man, man, once you get once, you get fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and you're talking like you ain't coming home, and she got to come out in the streets and find you and she won't embarrass you in for these they're talking about O man once once, And that's how I got. That's how I got to look away. Look what you got me to talking about? What did you say? Now you take to the streets at what age? What? What? At what age did you say?

I don't care what you're saying, daddy, I'm gone. I don't care what you're saying, Mama. I'm going on the streets. I'm gonna do what I want to do officially, officially fourteen four and dabbling here. You know you did something to streets with your boys or whatever, a little bad as boys, you know, that's you know, Levin Twill, you know like that. But officially in the streets fourteen right, And what are you doing out there? I just got my first fifty pack. I'm selling dope. I'm fourteen, okay.

And what does school look like at this point? Going to school, because that's the only that's the only way I can cap about my money. I never understood they talking about drop now, so you drop out? And then how you how you show that you got it? Because now you're just in the streets of other people like I don't want them to know I'm I'm at the school. He may look here. Trimp baskets for everybody on me. It was a shrimp basket, was big, back back basket.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. That shrimp basket was big, and that chicken tender back that trimp basket pall yeah, because yeah, that's what I got to do. My son, I mean not my son, but my my brother went to par Revid when he used to live with me, and he went out there with that fifth ward ship and they kicked him smooth up out of that what they what They kicked him out once I got him back in. But eventually, you know, I take him back to Fifth War because he just would not

comply it. Certain school demographics don't play the type of get old games. They be like, hey man, look you're fighting that school. Yeah, they're only villa. They didn't want want you all out in the bill and we try to stir up a little bit. But they had to teach over the science. His name Mr Terry. He had a board that let Mr Terry have to see you. You ain't you have to see But once you so so,

I need to I need to discuss some business with you. Um. I have been informed by the faculty and the staff, like wait a minute, the custodians come alone, the faculty and the staff that you have become some sort of nuisance around this campus. And like I have told you several times, brother, black men have to have some sort

of honor and discipline. What I'm saying, So therefore it's gonna this is going to be a pleasure for me, brother, to invite the discipline into your life, so you can give First of all, I'm mad that I'm down here and you ain't turned your science working. Now you're gonna make this about you, hey, brother saying he'd tell your ass up in it office. Were you there when that black principle? When the black principle was there? Oh new, yeah,

that black principle. When by the time my brother got there, my brother, my younger brother, he's like he's younger than us, of course, but he years younger. But he um, he went that man and it was a white kid. Used to bother him all the time, and I just try to tell him to try to control his temper. And so this is the white kid one day tripped him. I keep in mind my little brother fifth war for real,

like attitude, everything come with it. So this little dude trip him, and my little brother get dead on his ad, you know, break him down. So the little dude dad, it was a sheriff. So the little dude used to he's the dude was a bully and he used to just push people around and you know, and intimidate people because his dad would show up in his police uniform and stuff like that. So my brother told him, I

ain't scared of your daddy. You know, my brother will it d with the fifth boyd posset have your daddy killed. So I didn't know. I don't know this has happened. All this conversation is happening, right, So I go to the office, you know, after they have a fight and

they kick him out. I go to the office and and the principals the black he's like, and the guy the kid is in the room and he's my brother is there, and it's and the guy's dad is that with the big old tim gallant hat on that he's sitting now, that's well, he's just sitting and he's like looking at a story, right, And uh actually he was trying to look menacing, right. So I was like the preacher the past, the preacher the past to the principle.

The principle goes, so what is uh what was Isaac saying about you being a part of the fifth ward posse? And uh you know, having uh Mr such such such kill you can get Mr Such. I said, Wait a minute, I don't know. What are you talking about? He said, Well, he said, and then that's the cops speaks up. He said, he said, you had guns. I said, let me explain something to you. Yes, we have guns. I got guns in the house. But those guns for our protection. You know,

we are lawed Biden citizens, you know. And I say the guns are for our protection. I did teach him how to use the gun. He knows how to protect himself if it comes down to that. And I say, we are lawed biding. The citizens at city said, I don't know nothing about no Fifth War posse and having people killed and none. I wrap that's what I do. Uh and uh. And I have stewardship over this young man right here, and I'm here to help him, you know, God have guide him through life and deal with his

you know, educational program. I'm talking to all that ship right stock. So anyway, that was that, But that was the situation that Paul Revere, my brother, just would not conform. He was just like fifth Ward, fifth Ward, fifth Ward. He couldn't get it out of him. I'm but that's

his name. When you go to certain places, people think that you can get certain things about you and it's really not like like that, like I remember, and I'm I'm when I think about par Reville, I think about something that happened to me at part of it, and and I have to go back and think, have I always been like this? So these dudes, I get into altercations from high school cats that party behind a girl.

So the dude give me and keeping and he on a fight behind this girl that from his neighborhood and go to part by. He come up there, you know while I want me, I'm dating the girl. The girl ain't Danny Um and he says something slick man, and

I don't. I think people under estimate I've never been scared, like I remember being scared one fucking time, man, And now another dude like I remember being because I mean, it's dude getting too at the basketball court and he could get his brothers, and I'm scared because it's a bunch of people coming at me, not because I'm scared the one person. I'm like, even if I when you're gonna jump on me, and I at that time, I've

never been jumped on. So I remember that fucking feeling to being scared that time that time and going in the house and my sister was like, yo, what's up? And I'm like, yo, man, these dudes jumping on me and ship and it's like what happened? I'm like me and a dude for one on one. He wouldn't got his brothers he come back, it's like seven eight of them when I when I'm coming, it's like, what's what's up? You want to come out there with you? Like I

don't want to go out there. What you're talking about? Like like I ain't gonna let nobody jump on you? What's up? And I just didn't want to do and I and and it feels like I couldn't walk around the neighborhood the same. And then we fought because it's like I can't. I can't hold no ship like that. It's like so with old boy, I kicked his ass at part of it, like yo, man, I can fight, dude, And you don't understand You're not gonna beat me up in front of the people. I'm not. I'm not like that,

So you don't understand. So money see me on the bus. I'm riding the bride Forest bus. Later, I'm coming from basketball practice. Coach read let us out, Lady, had lost the game. He ran the ship out of head. I'm on that bus and I never get this ship. I'm sitting on the back of the bus and these niggas got on the bus, three of him into his partners. Now you're scared. I'm not scared. I'm concerned. I'm like

niggas problem. So I try to maneuver. I don't get off the bus at my stop, which is right from my house, because the gateor the gators lock. That's gonna take too much time. These knis to catch me. So I go to South Kirkwood. It's a store. So I get off the store and it's when I get off the bus. It's a day care. It called Lopetite. We used to play basketball and you come runcorn to the stories. Just a little levenees man on the store. I come

around the corner. I think I shook these knaggs y. These negroes ran from the first bus stop down to the stop that I got off at to beat me coming across. I didn't even get across the street. When I came across the street, they was already in the parking out of the daycare. And when I came around, this van then started me and they jumped and they sucked me up and I got to I got inside the store and eleventies man came around with his wife and a knife. Tell him to get out the store

because they know me. I've been a kid, and as they were for a while, say they've seen me. So I'm hot. Man. I go home and I get my mama gun my third day son, No, I go give my mama gun. I sneak it out o wroong in my pound of Jeff like, hey man, you don't you don'ta do this. I'm like, yeah, yes I do. And so I do because in my mind, like, why would you jump on me? Man? Shoot me the fair one. I ain't ever jumped on nobody. That's not that's not my my m O cut too. I catch you, old boy.

Years later, see him in the mall shops town whooped his as all in the back park. A lot of foulerts. Oh the other cats on other cats went to robberty Lee High School. We'll get transferred to Hastings. Why I'm at school? That is this this ninking? Another one get transferred from Yates two Hastens. I walked in the Cavintier. I see him. So I call all these things one on one, and they got danced up one on one. Because I'm not gonna forgive you for that. Is now

you've got a problem. You got a problem because you've got somebody that's a real as enemy to you. Like you know, cause because my my one of my whole thing is I've never started to fight ever in my whole entire for their seven years of living, I've never started a fight. I finished a lot of them, never started one. I'm five seven. Usually I walk around a hundred fifty five. Why would I be around here fucking with somebody? Why would I be around here starting fights?

And I can fight your One of your friends knew me when I was in the penetention. Six years of being there, I ain't got no blemishes on my record, and they were like, hey man, you go over there and you messed that little muslimiga, and see what's gonna happen. I guaranteed, and they don't try to send you to Galveston. Yeah, explain to people what they would intensive care you when they stayed with your head and ship back together, and and the crazy thing, it's gonna be a lot of

people talking about penetitention ship. If they never if you say the Galveston and they don't know what that is, then Niggas was on a minimum security cake unit somewhere because Galveston this is what they life flight your ass to, trying to say your life, this is this that's if you can make if they like, if they even determine that you can hold gone get the nike of the gals.

And but I remember been on Darnce and nig had a mopstick brun stick standing the side of his goddamn side and he had to walk to the infirment because they couldn't put him on the gurney because the doors too tight on he had to walk that Nigga was walking down always And Nigga spoke to me like it wasn't ship was up, young blood? I said, nicka way and the fun And I like this ship is this ship that was nineteen and I'm just coming through transit

on Darrington. I said, look these niggs right here. Rocket. Was that the worst thing that you saw while you were in prison? Now that that was that ship. What's the worst thing that you saw that you could share with the audience. Worst thing in prison. Oh man, I've seen this boy get his throat. It was a bad

cut too, because the way that was swung. This um back then we used to have because they don't have them in adventure now since casting told me that these roast beef cans and so you get this is my weapon of choice as well too. So you can take the top off the roast beef can. So now you have a jagget piece of metal. My choice was to bend it on one end, tape it so it's just like a grip. So when I'm sticing, i can slice you up wide. But at the time, I've never seen

anyone use it. I just got it, got it taped down, got a sock so I won't cut my my own hand when I'm when I got practiced with it, I keep my thumb top down. But when I've seen this Mexican spice to this white bold with this guy dagn On can that throat and it's not you can see damn there back of his damn the back of his throat like you can see is the sopper he cutting him.

Look, nigad you it is when you were in prison? Is it in that moment at some point when you decided I want to be a comedian when I get out? This is what I'm gonna do? Dude name Rick asked me. Nineteen eighty five, He asked me, I'm We're sitting in the day room. He said, man, what you think you're

gonna do when you get out? Because you know what everybody be saying. Most of these can talk about whatever they did. They try to do that, which was crazy. I was like, man, I think I'm gonna be a comedian. As a matter of fact, I know I'm be a comedian. Rick Colder Ship because it's some things that happened in your life. They don't have to be this angelic, amazing thing for the people. You just have to be amazing

for you. Rick said, And I've been there a lot, man, done a lot of different units people and told me a lot of things that they was gonna do. It ain't got out. I ain't believe not none of them. Li's Man, this is weird for me. Man, this is the first time I'm gonna be rooting if I'm not going to do what I think that he's supposed to do. Man, you go out there, you do that shipped out how

So if you go out there, you do the ship you were doing it here, you're gonna make it out because you now you Nigga, I accept because his hands the hands huge, because a man used to make you used to make fun ni. You make fun of me going up. They would be mad by the ship, nigga, but you the way you did that ship to me.

Now I'll be by the TV that they could be way away from me and I'd be like, come on mate, and people that they were like, what's wrong with the I was like, hey, come on man to that. Hey, if I turn around, I'm gonna end uphooping. You may stop all that touching on my shoulder. Man. It was like, man, what's this thing? Is? How doing? Nobody by him? Rick?

So somebody believed in what I said I was gonna do. I believe in it. So you get out and just joking. The first spot is just joking, the legendary just joking, yes, and Troy Merca right right right, And that's where you you hone your craft. That's why

I starts where you going. You go out and a lot of les, a lot of lessons there and at what point do you at that piece together? Mexican got on boots. Mexican got on boots. Now that right there. I mean, some comedians can live a lifetime and won't come up with a piece that great, that piece you can put that one in the Hall of Fame. So at what point in your comedy career do you come

up with that? Um? Bill Bell me forces me to say, hey, man, tell at least two of the stories that you tell us off stage in the green room, just any one. I'm just in any that shape from prison, any of it. So I get I get this, this opportunity to do this show at the turn of other Comedy Central shows down, Um, this is the year that they too. Thirteen they name me Comedy Central is comic to watch out all the comm in the country. And so four eight they offered

me the show A bunch show. I kept turn them down, like now I don't I don't want to do them, And in their mind they're like, man, how is this. I'm gonna turn it down? Show people trying to get on. He turned and I'm like, because it's things that don't fit you. This show comes up, this cat, this thing chased through so young comic kept telling me say, man, I would love to see you on this particular show. I love to see on this particular show. I didn't

know anything about the show. So then two weeks later they offered me this storytelling show. Eric Abrams is the director, Arisha Fez the host, and Eric Abrams has heard me do a prison story before. He's like, are you gotta get him to do this show? And are like, I don't really know him, and Aid lobbies with Ari. He said, I promise you if you get him on this show, he's going to be the best that that was been on this show. Her he was like, or was like, so he go for it. Eric thing Eric thinks that

I'm gonna do the show. I'm gonna do the story Mitchell about me getting ready to kill the CEO. I don't I do the prison ride because in my mind, I want to show people how even though I was in the streets, I'm still young and I don't know. I don't know this this part of life. I've never been in this place before. I want to show the not the die is it? The word not what is it? I was the word being naive basically the not evinty

or whatever. Yeah, So I wanted to show that and then if I got if this is gonna be good enough, I get opportunity to show again, then I showed the advancement of how this place turns you from being basically you nonviolent. Really you're coming in your defense, but you're not a violent person to actually turned turning shifting gears where like you are a very very aggressive personnel, and you you you're trying to be you have become menacine, not just afform of upon them, Like now you're to

the point where you're gonna kill our CEO. And people understand the mindset. I'm at the mindset. Well, it's two ways that I go. I go with I'm gonna be in different and we get into it cool, and but I really don't want to Two I'm plotting something. I'm plotting something and I don't have consequences. And now I don't think people understand this story about Mitchell. I don't have any consequences. I'm going to kill his officer and I'm going back to my sale. I'm not leaving the unit.

I don't have nowhere to run. I'm going to killer's offer. I'm going back to my sale. When they come get me, I already be packed up, ready to go. I don't this the whole You're not getting out of prison again because you just killed some mine. Okay, you understand there's no consequence because now you have switched a button to a person I don't have, sir, What are what are you going to entice me with? That's like when they

used to try to control me with. We'll cut the t v O, cut the motherfucker off, We'll put you in the hole. What okay, which one? I've already done this so I'm not I'm not bound to none of these rules. And that's what you want. You're not getting when you trying, when you're trying to break me in this system. Now, what you're doing is making me stronger because what I'm doing is mobilizing black people. Contell He's like, hey,

sneaky right here. It was no black owned black violence on no unit that he was on the whole time he was there, this mine chip that this thing you used to do with these niggas, hey man, were fighting eachother. What we're doing, hey man? I only had seven fights and most of and after seven four the four of them was in the county tim B three. I came out and glad ate the floor, my little penitentiou scuffles. That was just ship. That just happens in the penitentium.

But after that, by year number two, oh no fighting black hell now Black Game members. I wish you put anybody that's on tour, you know, the young niggas were doing all that Wow Crip and blood ship. That ship ceased as soon as I got there. When was the first time you actually performed Mexican guy Boots was on that show? It was on that show. Yeah, I never seen that actually me anywhere else. You didn't practice it that just King just I was doing stand up seventeen

years put to me doing that that story. So I'm on def jam I already, I'm on comic View, I'm on a bunch of ships already. Then this this opportunity to show the difference between me and everybody else, because it took me a while to get to the point of being able to tell a story. You know, I'm like everybody else. I'm like just befoony ship, you know, and in ship that I'm trying to think be relevant for the hood, not trying to get a hood. No food,

I'm saying. And that's when the storytelling came in. Great about all times with this comedy ship is Bill Cosby Hands down, and I'm saying, regardless of what he did, and I'm saying, you know, allegedly like I'll say that all of that ship. But when it comes to the artistry of what stand up is the colder you ever be when you make when you sitting down and you're doing it from the seat, You're doing it from the chair, just killing from That's why I said, I and I

sat on TV this ship real with me. So when I got into the storytelling being uh what I call a grio, which comes from my heritage being African answers to sit around and to keep heritage going. They would tell very detailed stories to keep the heritage going. It was called grio's. So when I shifted into that when I was on the road with Deal Hugley, the transition of me sitting down in front of that audience telling stories.

So the first time I ever did Mexican on Boots was actually on that show because it was I was just in the groove of telling it because that's that was my lane and it's and I didn't understand probably just like when you when y'all made mind playing tricks on, did you think it was gonna do that off? The rip. You thought it was just gonna be a good song. I thought it was a good story, and then y'all

wanted me to tell our true stories. I just told a true story, the way that I tell my friends stories. I had no idea that it was gonna be like that, and I knew it was like that when this white dude named Bert cry said, who has a story called the Machine, which they think is the greatest story ever told about him being a Russian mobster, and in this

Russian dude called him the Machine, fucking fantastic story. He comes to me and says, people think that the Machine is good, and then they hear Mexican on boots and understand that my story is okay. I even tell people the best story I've ever heard told is not the Machine. It's Mexican boots. To the point that we don't even call it ship what it's called, it's called the prison Riot. We just call it Mexican coud on boots. He interviewed me about it. He said, you don't even know how

great this is. Like this is, this is white comics. Look at this story and be like, I wish I could ever even get closer to ship and I was like, what he's like. I said, man, that's just me being black, and I mean not even me being black. This is me telling the story. So speed up to some things. I won't throw this out there before we get too lost. I know. I got this interview, people saying you and

a lot of your comments. I started. I started reading them because my friend James hit me and said, man, read some of these comments. I read them. I'm not moved by into my cat. Ali can't hold us a candle to cat in comedy in comedy, and I'm and I'm trying this in the Mixed on Boots And he said this, everybody said it, but did not mention a cat joke? Did they even know? Everybody who is on your side? And people who didn't all mentioned mixing got

on boots. So if you're not mentioning, you're saying this was better than him, but you're not mentioning ship that he did. But everybody who knows him is mentioning a joke. It's like saying, oh, this rap over here, the greatest rapper of all time. He's better than willar D but Yett And still I keep saying, what song? What song? He got? Better than the ball head holes? What song

he got better than my pleasure with it? And he got put in his songs, but you you ain't named a song yet, but but but he just better still name a song. And I thought about it. People judge it on who better on popularity, but Ken has been popular for a long time. I think that Cat is, like uh, Card is revered to people like Cat is one of those type of dudes that that people like it doesn't matter what It don't matter what do you do, It don't matter what he's going through whatever. It's like

people like Cat Williams. So when you call that Cat Williams, you know it's people's yeah, and and and and that. And that goes to like people ask people really really funk with Cat real hard for so for anybody, it's like somebody calling our scarface, people fuck with Brad Hard. I mean, it ain't nothing Brad can do but that that it ain't nothing that Brad could do that could turn people against them. I mean, what what did Cat do the athlete? What did he do to you? Man?

So let's go to the store to me speeded up Streeport. We're in Sport. The song out is um every day I'm hustling. Who made that song? Everything? Rick Rock? What I'm saying, so what year is that? Whatever? That ship is okay, So every day I'm hustling. Was some anthem that he was coming out to, like everybody come out to a song. And I want people to understand, I'm not saying Cats not talented. I'm not saying I don't even like that. I don't like Cat. I always was

fan of this, this little man. This is what I'm talking about when he was catting the hat. Because people people act like they like he'd been Most people got on this on the band wagon after Friday after Next because before that they can't remember goddamn thing before Friday at the Next because they didn't know him when he was catting the hat. They didn't know when he didn't have no teeth and ship, they didn't know. They wasn't

watching him. Then I was a fan with Nigga's wearing a top hat and had a cane and he's in his name was Cat in the hat. It wasn't Cat Williams ship. So Friday at the Next, the pimp ship happens. Cool, always been, always been cool. I'm back when I booked in me and he facts me his head shot, which is fucking crazy. Sharon Ball would tell anybody then a fact of the head shot to keep players offer. It was just a black you know how facts come through,

just black silhouette of his body. This dude named DJ Love plays the song. Cat's manager comes out hollering at him. DJ Loves saying, Hey, my fault. You know I didn't know. I'm just playing. I'm the warm up DJ. I'm just playing songs getting the crowd in. Well, you don't know who DJ? He's like, no, I'm a warm up DJ. I don't know. I'm just doing the show. And this is so early in the game. If you do come out there every day, I'm hustling. What the fuck doesn't matter.

So she being a little a little pushy with him, and he's apologized several times. Now he's getting now you now you like shipping on him? Now he kind of like, who the fun is you talking to? Now I've already apologized, I don't know what then else you won't. I'm not the DJ, I'm the warm up DJ, and I'm and I'm leaving. I gotta go do a club. So all this melee happens now. For clarity, the DJ played the song prior to Cat coming out, and that's to the show.

Even starting the show starts the up and that you're right, and that's show what what Cat comes out to. That's his intro song. Not really designed the song I really designed for him. Rick Roths don't know whoever made a song. I don't know this nigger playing this song. It's just a song? Is that so you can pick another song because the song has nothing to do with you got their performance. So theyre in the back room. DJ Love is like, yo, man, y'all talking records to me. I

don't like this. So Cat comes out with this this players ship and like, oh dog nigga, you need to be away from me with that bullshit. I'm gonna tell you what happened. I played the song. That's stupid as broad talking fucking crazy to me. Hey man, I apologize what the fund is up? Well, nigga, we can hey nigga,

we can do what we can do? What nigga? So I come and get loved bababe standing there three ft, I come slide and get grab blove and like Love Nick is talking reckless that I killed all of the police right there, and he's like, man, they don't I don't give a funk about nothing. That didn't nigs know who I am. And it's a mouth manic cat. He's being he's being offended. And where we're set in street, Port Louisiana. Now this ship happens, this over performance happens.

Everybody go out. Cat rides back to the hotel with me to the island Capri. We're talking about tattoos the whole way because my man, right, he do tattoos. And I was going to get woman fire left. Now years go by, that that's one me and kicking. Then years go by, we had the we had the relying arena. Here two shows, it's February. Two shows, Thursday and Friday. I performed Thursday, Friday, I performed. I come out to get this cat named Ghetto. I walk out to get

this cat name Ghetto. You probably know Ghetto. Get all vows for this story. I walked out to get Ghetto. I turned back around, you know how to rend the people look in the goddamn yellow shirts all let them all locked arms standing in front of the door. I'm like, hey, let me slide through, y'all. And the lady who was in front of sitting in front of my door, she said, I can't let you back in. I said what, I can't let you back in build? I say, for what?

They don't know what's going on. It's just been a sign, don't let Alie Stee back in his building. Okay, cool cats Matt security that the Times dude name is Carl. Carl comes and he talking over the shoulders of the security people. I'm standing outside me and Ghetto and I'm like, the fun is going on. I'm like, call what's up? He's like, man, can't. I don't know what. The man Cat don't want you back in the building. Say what?

And he say nothing. But I can see Cat and his white boy talking like I can see them and I'm like, us up. So they thing it turn it back to me. I have no idea to to this day and this is that. I'm cool. I'm just wointing back in the building. They said, I'm gonna get your stuff. I'm gonna walk away with it. Just when this when the button get pushed. They can't. They wrote me a check and they came and paid me and decide they paid me. I'm standing there and over the shoulders are cured.

I'll just see a check come over. Is on is paying me like I'm some fucking bumming like y'all a hand out? Okay, Cool, I'm sitting in the park. A lot can put me out this when when this put me out of the building, he didn't put me out. I walked out. I wouldn't look it back here in Houston, and I don't know what the fund is going on. I'm sitting there and I started, I started getting man, I started seething, funking. Larry Jones saw me walking back

to their building. He said, man, what's up. I'm saying, I'm gonna address this name because I got a problem from the board. And now this time I'm not I'm so mad. I'm not even thinking to call G T G T DJ and on the stage. I just call this nigga and we get this ship popping right now. But I'm so mad. I'm just trying. Man, it sent me so I'm trying to get back in the building. This nigga, this nigga, they send the police out, they won't be off the premises. I still have no clue.

I say, okay, cool, this thing out problem with me song I run into the car in l A. He said, Man, I still don't know my part on my part on tour with him, he say, Lee, I still don't know. Bill Bellamier wrapped them to him one day and said, saying nothing. And I still don't know it herself right when I run into this nigga in my hat. But I already know my temper. I don't know my tempical. See,

he'd been out even out wild, and that's niggas. They they curity, battle tested and all this whole slick ship. And I know me not going to let you talk selick to me. I already got a problem because you try to play me. You try to play me on some putting nick out the building, pay this nick over the show the type ship. I'm like, all right, it's two ways I can handle this. I could be an ignorant nigga and just be law running in the streets.

Then do it in the streets. But then the nigga opened itself up and he said this celebrited boxing thing, Ni I started it, and um, they niggas looked at me like I was God. I said, you started now first? People I saw always will it then mel and Mayo and then get the way before you nigga, you wasn't around at the time, and I said, oh, ship, maybe I can get this ship settled, this nigga in this ring for a bag because he'd be talking to this boxing.

Just so since you started, let's make it full circle. You haven't had about so if that was your dream, usually want to start the celebrity boxing you wanted to do in the beginning. So you now you have a challenger. That's all I'm all I'm saying is let's make the challenge have this personal underlying problem with you is gonna is feeling the fire for me to want to get in the ring with you and damage your face and

do something bad to your body. That's one thing. But as a as a talent, oh you you're an excellent talent. But that don't make it. That don't make you a cool ass person though, So let me get in the ring with you. Sell of my difference with you with for a bag or whatever. Because you started it, that's just it opened it up when you said that you started celebrity boxing. You ain't got no problem with doing it,

So let's do it. You got a challenger. You ain't got to wait and and hope for somebody to challenge you. Or oh, maybe Kevin Hart may want to do it one day, or maybe I do with Steve Harvey. No, it's somebody right now that's willing, that god, that that want to ask you about something civilized. Because I ask you in the ring like how Abali asked that man what's his name? And I keep asking thing what I do? That, what I do? I'll be dis asked with what I

do for four rounds. Man, I don't think just gonna let you motherfucker swing on him? And Ship, did you do nothing? You know? Remember that how people was under estimate you? Now, yeah, that's what I'm saying. People don't got to let you do nothing. I remember one time when this dude told me he was gonna slap me. I said, Ship, I ain't saying you won't. I just know what you wanta do. Twice I cannot tell you

won't slap me. But I know one thing you your slapper's gonna be broke nigga after you slap me, because I could be sitting sitting there, nigga not not. What's the response. The response is me doing this. Hey, ma man, I'm gonna give you a chance to run, nigger, because I like to hunt my prey. I'm gonna give you a chance to run. I'm gonna get you a chance to run, to make these to make these ghetto games fun. Because if you slap me, you better be already running.

You better be called Lewis already running. You know. I like you and Catman, and I wish that y'all could resolve your differences. But I ain't gonna lie. I would pay to see y'all fight. I would definitely pay to see that fight. I like fights, and I know I like to fight, and I like to see fights. I don't fight often because I know conflict is costly, but I but once engaged, I do enjoy it. But but I also enjoy watching people who like to fight each other.

I don't want to fight see a fight bully if I don't like to see bullies fight, and I don't like We'll put it like this. I don't like somebody that's bullying somebody who's refuses to fight back. But I do like to see a bully get his ass whooped. And I like to see people who want to fight each other. Fight, and I want him to want to fight. I don't want to be the only one in the ring I want to fight. I really don't because it doesn't make for a good I like, I like a war.

I've never once again, I've never started to fight, but I've never fought anybody who once you started with me, now I want to fight. I'm I'm I'm I'm good with engaging in the war. And I like that you think that you're gonna win because you don't understand what I'm the the level that I'm gonna go to. Like right now, it's people saying, well, cat got them hands from cool. I I'll just say, hey, the way that I trained, the way that I trained every day, I'm

ready for whatever, four round, four round fight it. Man. I just I just know what I'm what I'm like right now. You know most of the time when you're out that I see you, you're normally reserved. You're very relaxed type dude. But I saw you on a viral another viral video of you add a gas station, a convenience story something, and this white lady was begging for

money from you and called you the N word. How did you maintain your composure and not like totally like lose it, because the thing is, I'm not feeling to fight with somebody who don't got no residence, they got no place to stay there, Like, so do you have I said, I don't have a fucking nigger, ma'am. I don't have changed at this point, man, I don't have anything for you. Now. I would have searched for something, but when you initially asked me, I didn't have anything.

I went to my girl partment normally searched for some loose change, but with the nigger, I'm like, ma'am, do you think that? Do you think that anything you're gonna say its gonna even move me? Ma'am, I have a residence. You you man, you sleeping on the ground. I'm not

even gonna waste my time. But what I am gonna do is this this video because anybody else come by here, don't get this woman ship, because let us pay the calls for her ignorance, because whatever life life is given her that anyway, because the people say, well that's wrong. Why I used to be sucking homes. I used to be the same person she was. Oh, but you didn't know that, so you can talk about well, well you think you can do this, man, I already been a

fighter the same I didn't start. I just started boxing, and I started at P A B A with the rev like I just I didn't start today. I didn't have to go in it and Money had to say which which you're gonna be a software traditional man? I know what I am. I'm ambidextious with my hands. I can go either way. So it's it's it's whatever people think. Like I saw a comment cloud chasing I was like, wow, that was different cloud, and I would say, that's people

who don't know me. You can't. It's like it's like when before the second season of the Day Chappelle Show, mass majority of black people had no idea who Dave Chappelle was. We're talking about six HBO specials. We're talking about four or five movies at that time. At that time, I'm telling about already being on Deaf Jam and all this ship and they dismissing because he was in the

lane where they considered ain't stream white. And then he did, he did the story I'm Rick James bitch, and all of a sudden, black people gravitate towards him and then black people gravitated towards him, and then as adaty to say something when he stopped the show about he's stupid turned down all that money. When I talked to him, he said that was the one thing that fucking irritated him.

When we talked to the communy story, he gave me saloms we're talking, He said, Man, what irritated me that black people had something to say about my goddamn career? When you just started jumping on the bandwag with me, I thought, I did. I'm Rick James bitch some nigger ship that you liked, which is cool, but I already got fucking fifty million dollars. I don't have to accept the fifty million dollars to say I don't want to do something. I feel like this is contrary, that's damaging

black people. Now that I'm looking at the ship, I got fifty million. But you don't know that because you're a new fan. And then you would say what what I shouldn't be doing? You don't know me anybody with That's what first came to my mind. Oh, he cloud chasing. He needs some money from Cat. I don't need it from Cat. I don't need it, they I do it for free. I don't even need I don't need to back. I just need the event. I don't need to back. I need the event because if you don't know who

I am, shame on you, that ninku. I ain't got nothing to do with me. So you're gonna announce everybody that you ain't got cable nigger. That's cool, that's oh man. We just shot one in Houston called The Domino Effect. We're doing the color in the editing right now. We're announced that getting ready to drop. And then I just got signed for one in October for a whole other network. So I'm gonna drop two in the same year, and then I'm gonna drop three albums in the same year.

And by the way, for all those people think I'm cloud chasing, I'm already gramming Grammy nominated comedian with a with a comedy album already. Like people be thinking that they know, it's just like you're not in that lane when you ask your question, I gotta get out of here. You fly. You've flown a lot, right, Have you always went through security when you flew? No? Have you gotten out of a vehicle and then walked up some steps and got on the plane. Sure when you came in

a well like did you did you? Did you walk through? Did you like you go through United? And then somebody checked you in and then they walked to went you went through the outside gate, not the gates inside the termine. It's mother ship that looked like you're supposed to be going on. You're going on here. It's some people who have you said that too, like get that line? How would how would you? How would it be possible for

you to ride up to a plane? Said that you're not the president, they're not privy to it, and things just like inside the airport, United has a lounge and Delta has a lounge. Southwest does not have a lounge, but other airlines have a lounge. But then American Express

has their own lounge, the Priority lounge. That's why I be at And if you don't have us, if you got the dream, if you've got the dream American Express, you don't know that this that this because you know, American Spress, like you know, has a concience that you can call, you know, and they set up shipped for you. But if you don't have that particular card, you're not privy. Most people in comedy are not privy to the people

who really out here doing it. But thank god, we are privy to at least the deeks comedy, and we understand what it is and and we love you, man, we respect you, man, and we want to see more of you.

Even when I show up to a comedy club and they got my name, when the billboards spell wrong, they had to pay me my guarantee and I don't have to perform because now you you messed my dickt set because you somebody you put it up some Pakistani man. Come on you like, I don't want to see him playing. He playing some weird instrument is so people, it's it's kind of showed me
