That's what I said. People ask me, so they find
me and for me, like when people find them, Like
I used to love freaking American's funniest home videos, all right,
and I also used to love even before social media
in general, no social media. If you guys remember Mad Lips,
they used to be on YouTube. These people they would
do like voiceovers, real funny fucking voice overs to mainly
(03:19):
sports ship football coaches, you know, flipping out on players
or whatever exactly. So um uh so you know when
I got to you know, I was doing skits as well,
and I do blending skits as well. But like when
people send me these videos to do that, I just
get into the you know, the mind framing. You know,
it's a really one day you guys will see the process.
It's a very mind of those animals whatever it is,
(03:40):

when you got going on your life, I want to
be a voice of some cartoon, like, are they hearing
any Chinese in the African shooes? That's easy, That's that's easy. Man.
(04:43):
I went to this restaurant. It was actually Chinese people
cooking Guanian food. Nothing fun. I'm not even joking. This
is where was this? I was just in I was
just in Nebraska. Happen to Braska. Chinese person is trying
to take over whatevery. I mean, you know they own
the roads in Ghana. I heard that. You know they
owned Rosen, Ghana. So is that not true? He's sucking

(05:06):
I'm gonna stop sucking our women to Chinese best friend. Yeah,
I think they're already. They're already doing that. They're already
doing that in the Ghana. Man, I've seen that road.
That's my that's whan I'm sucking your back. I got
a whole Asian woman. I'm gonna give us a bunch
of little tiger woods. Motherfucker, Mike, We're gonna make sure
there's a mother sucker highway in Gonna. Okay, I appreciate that. God,
(05:32):
I just called you, Kinna. It's okay, Mike. I'm telling
me about that's only Please tell me about that the
school that you're building on, please and thank you. I've
seen the pictures of that. Yes, ye did they have
you digging? Are you the one thing? What you're digging
with your hand and digging? Damn you're supposed to wash
your hands after you help dig man? But now I
ain't build a school in my village. You know my mother,
(05:54):
this little village my mother was born in. Uh What
would inspired me to build the school was? Um I
went when I came to the States, I come to
the stage late eighties sometimes eight six eighties seven. I
didn't go back to Ghana. I didn't go back to
Africa period to like two thousand, like fifteen years later.
I went back. And when I went back, I went
to the village while I was born. And I'm like,
(06:15):
I just things were still the same. I'm like, why
things still the same? You know why our kids and
the kids are like a bunch of kids doing still
the school days, school hours, the kids in the marketplace
helping their mother sell ship. And I'm like why these
seven eight year old kids working? Like who hired these niggas?
So I'm like, okay, you know what then I get
(06:37):
to find out, I'm like, why did not in school?
The not in school because the public school were just
known as government school, which is free. At that moment,
I'm not sure things have changed that ain't shift free
no more, but back then those schools were free, and
those feel up really fast. The free ship always feel up.
It's like you go, you know in America, you go
to the warfare line. All the warfare office is always packed,
right because niggas like free ship, So the free ship
(06:58):
always fills up. And the kids that I left, they
can for a private school. So then what I did.
I went to them on the local elementary school to
find out what school was going for, how much it
calls to go to school. So I find it cast
like eighty dollars for the whole year. I'm like eighty
dollars and it was two and I'm like, we're spending
at the bar. So next day I went back to
the marketplace, saw them same fucking kids. I talked to
(07:21):
their parents. I was like, I'm gonna pay pull your
pull your four kids in school for the year, you
know what I mean? And then from there I would
try to help. Every year I'll try to help get
this keep. I mean, what eight years of schooling or
cost but a couple of grad So I went did
that and after the outside of myself, I gotta do
something about this. And I always had in my mind,
(07:41):
I got to build a school. But it's not it's
not an easy thing to do, you know, it's come
without responsibility. But I finally, like right before COVID, I decided,
you know what, trying to pay every kid in school?
How about just to build a home school and make
it free and give scholarship to the kids. You good man,
Michael blocked him. Yeah, what's up, mother suckers. This is
(08:03):

to catch a new episode every Tuesday. Back then in
(08:46):
ninety four, the only way you get famous, you gotta
find a way to get on TV. The only TV
we had back then was BT Comic View, BT Coming.
We just started, so we had because BT Coming. If
you knew, they were the only way of getting any
comedian famous, or they took advantage of us. To get
on BT Comic View, you had a fresh year, best
athletic to get on. So when you get selected, then
(09:08):
you have to find with the l A mine y'all
living in Philadelphia, you have to find you with the
l A. Get your own hotel, your own flight, your
own hotel, and then three weeks after you shoot the show,
you'll get a check for a hundred fifty dollars. So
I came to do Coming with You for a negative
five dollars. I lost some money trying to make money,
(09:30):
you know. But then what happened was you get on
TV and then once you're on TV that people can
see you, now they're going to book you. So now
you know, I went from making like fifty dollars a
hundred dollars, like five hundred dollars, you know, and then
when when I did Next Friday, then I went from
like five hundred dollars undred dollars and then then you
keep going and keep going. So television is kind of
like what we had back then, but we didn't have
(09:52):
social media to try with jokes. These guys could just
do a video the video is funny and put that
ship into material, you know. But with they have that,
we had to go to open mic night. You have
to go get in line, and open mic was a
night where amateurs perform or professionals would go on stage
just to like perfect that new actor trying to do. So,
(10:13):
like in Philadelphia where I started, UM one club is
like first come, first served. So if you have if
you want to get a good number, do they do
They a lot of first twenty people. So if you
to get and you got to pick your own number
when you want to go on. So if you want
to pick your own number, show start at seven o'clock.
You're gonna be there like four pm. Get in line
there when you pick a good number, like a good number,
(10:35):
be like any number between like five to like thirteen
is good because you go on number one nine enough
crowded if you're gonna twenty everybody already left. So that
was one club. But the other club, you go line
up and then after you write your name, then they
would they would give you a number accruing to how
well didn't know you. So I remember my first night
at this particular club. They didn't know me. I went
(10:55):
on last, but then I got on stage, it was
like six comedians, like the order. They already got tired.
I'm performing for six comedians and did told me that, hey,
I think you got what it takes to make it,
because I was hoping, I hope the fucking audience was there.
But instead of like other comedians like you know, Mike,
I think you got it, and it's I just kept
going and kept going. I think that's dope. Man. You
(11:15):
know a lot of comedians they don't bring the same
energy when um when they see like that, you know
there's less people there or on so you expected. So
I think that's extremely dope. You never that first impression,
and don't matter where you are, give them the best
fucking show. You never know who that one person is
or that's to three people are really performing. Don't ever
(11:38):
give all you have, regardless or not. I mean, I
performed for like ten thousand people. Recently, I'm on that
Martinawrence tour, so we've seen like ten fifteen thousand people.
But my favorite orders is three people, that intimacy crowd
right there in your phase where you get to like
feel loose, because when when it's fifteen, it's don't get wrong,
it's more pressure, like Okay, now I got you know,
(11:58):
compared to like three people, you feel more comfortable, you know.
But with it fight people are ten people. Give those
ten people your best show ever because you never know
who those ten people are. Heard. Rappers get all the
respect on the streets and singers get all the exactly
and that was part of the reason. That was part
of the reason for sure. But yeah, I'm in now.
(12:20):
It's been cool. It's been great, specially moving out to
l A. I especially seeing an increasing everything I've been
doing since I've been out here. So I'm with it
for sure. It's so crazy. I was watched reading something
today that Meek had posted up. You said that thing
me posted about something like he's not sure where his
record money been going, Like something posted about about the
(12:42):
record of the record business. How you know he brought
his record out but he ain't seen no record money,
you know. So I mean that's that's that's that's been
going on for ages. I mean everybody got burned, from
Michael Jackson to Tito Jackson too. Everybody has been burned.
When it comes those it looks like all this makes
most of that money from live performance. I mean I'm
(13:04):
not sure, Like I don't know how much you really
make fun but it's different than now. It's like downloads
and you could like kind of like put do your
own thing. Now you go independent and you know, put
your own ship out. And back then you needed like
you needed a record company back then to like you know,
get you to that next level. And it took advantage,
you know. So yeah, not anymore. I mean, hows how
(13:25):
how how you getting your music out there? Um, I'm
getting it out fully independently right now, So I don't
even know how to the record label should go your money?
So I see everything from my music, but uh, really
it's about where you're grind at right now, like what
you're doing with your brand pushing and how much you're
selling on your brand. Like I'm thinking of different avenues
(13:47):
from my brand right now as far as like the
music and I got a dog that gets me like
a million views on TikTok and YouTube and ship um
selling plants and this thing that go along with my
brand is also farm as well. I've been farming for
like two years with some of my friends, So I'm
like brother into nature and like gardening and ships. They got.
(14:09):
You're growing tomatoes, motherfuckery got a great tomatoes. Now we're
wearing weird. It's cannabis farm tomato I just want to make.
But with that, with the cannabis farms, I've learned how
to cultivate tomatoes and vegetables and fruit and all that
ship and survive off grid and and and a lot
of things I didn't know before before UM being out there.
(14:31):
So I'm just trying to incorporate all that ship into
my brand because that's what the music business and just
having a brand is about. Now what your grind is.
And because you're not gonna like me, you ain't gonna
see a lot if you get to that level from
your ship. It's about what else you selling, the shows,
the merch and all other ships. So that's what me
and my team is working on right now, tightening, and
(14:53):
it's a great thing. My social media now right, social
media is pretty much your own platform. It's your own
TV show, your own network. You know, you build your
own audience and when you make something, you've got someone
to sell it to. You don't You don't need nobody anymore.
Just build an audience and if your ship is good
