>> James: HOW ARE YOU, MY MAN.
>> I'M GOOD, MAN, I FEEL GREAT, I FEEL GREAT, YOU GOT THE
AUDIENCE BACK.
>> James: WE HAVE AN AUDIENCE, THEY ARE HERE FOR YOU.
>> YES.
>> James: WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE HERE, YOU JUST BECAME A
DAD FOR THE FOURTH TIME.
>> YES.
>> James: YOU HAD A BABY GIRL.
YOU ARE TEN WEEKS IN.
THAT IS, I MEAN HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?
HOW IS EVERYONE AT HOME.
>> FOUR GIRLS, FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS DURING THIS PANDEMIC I
HAVE BEEN STUCK AT HOME WITH ALL OF THEM, I LOVE THEM WITH ALL OF
MY HEART.
BUT WHY DO YOU THINK I FLEW TO LOS ANGELES I COULD BE ON THIS
SHOW, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO, HAVE I TO FILL THE
SCHEDULE SSM THERE ANY JOB, CAN I STAY A COUPLE OF EXTRA DAYS, I
WOULD APPRECIATE THAT, MAN, I LOVE MY GIRLS, MAN, I LOVE THEM.
>> James: YES.
>> ABSOLUTELY, GIRL DAD ALL THE WAY, SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE CROWD.
AND AT HOME WATCHING.
SWRZ NOW I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
YOU JUST STARTED PORPING LIVE AGAIN AT FESTIVALS, YOU DID THE
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FESTIVAL IN BAKER-- HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE
BACK ON STAGE, THE ENERGY, THE CROWDS, ALL THOSE THINGS, HOW
DID IT GO?
>> I ALREADY KNEW THAT I HAD PRETTY OF THE BEST JOB IN THE
WORLD.
BUT OBVIOUSLY WHEN SOMETHING IS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, YOU PUT
THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
TO COME BACK TO THESE LIVE AUDIENCES IT MAKES YOU REALIZE I
100% HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD WHEN I AM THE ONE THAT
WRITES THE RECORD.
I GET PAIRED A LOT OF MONEY TO PERFORM THEM BUT ALL HAVE I TO
DO IS HOLD THE MICROPHONE OUT TO THE CROWD AND THEY ARE SAYING
ALL THE LYRICS.
ALL I EVER DO SHOW UP.
IT SHOULD BE, IT'S CRIMINAL.
IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO HAVE THE JOB THAT I HAVE, I HAVE THE BEST
JOB IN THE WORLD.
I LITERALLY GET PAID TO SHOW UP AND JUST HOLD THE MIC UP.
>> IS THAT WHAT YOU DO?
YOU DO ONE LINE.
>> LISTEN, MAN, THESE SONGS LIKE MOVE, GET OUT THE WAY.
THEY KNOW EVERY WORD.
>> James: OF COURSE THEY DO.
>> THE CROWD RIGHT HERE KNOW EVERY WORD.
>> James: OF COURSE THEY DO.
>> BUT STE ONE OF THOSE-- MOVE IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS.
YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD SORT OF INGENUOUS, MARKETING IDEA.
>> ALL THE FIRE TRUCKS AND POLICE CARS THAT HAVE "MOVE" AS
THAT I HORN, 100%.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET ALREADY, NOT ONLY
WOULD IT PUT MORE MONEY IN MY POCKET FROM A LICENSING
STANDPOINT BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IT WOULD MAKE PEOPLING MOVE EVEN
MORE, CARPOOL KARAOKE, ARE YOU NOT CONCENTRATED ON THE ROAD.
ON SINGING THE SONG AND WHOEVER ARE YOU IN THE CAR WITH, THOSE
SHOULD ALWAYS BE PLAYING MOVE, GET OUT THE WAY FORE ALL THE
PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAY, THE SIGH WRITTENS ARE OLD NEWS.
ALL THE FIRE TRUCKS, THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
WE SAID IT HERE FIRST.
>> NOW WHEN YOUR FIRST RECORD CAME, WHEN IT KAIMENT OUT, YOU
WERE A RADIO DJ IN ATLANTA, WHAT WAS THE.
>> IT WAS HOT 97 OY 5, WHICH THAT WAS IN ATLANTA.
WHEN YOU WERE DOING THAT WAS THERE A MOMENT WHEN WERE YOU
PLAYING OTHER PEOPLE'S SONGS AND WERE YOU LIKE-- I THINK I'M
BETTER THAT BE?
I'M GOING TO DO MY OWN SONGS, IS THAT HOW IT DAME ABOUT.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M A HUMBLE PERSON BUT TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION, HELL YEAH I SAID THAT.
OF COURSE.
I MEAN LISTEN, I BELIEVED IN MYSELF AND THAT'S PART OF THE
GENIUS MUCH WHY I EVEN WORKED AT THE STATION.
BECAUSE IT WAS STRATEGIC.
I KNEW IT WAS A MEANS TO AN END.
AND I WAS LIKE IF I CAN MAKE A JOB, ALL THE PRODUCERS AND
ARTISTS COME TO THE STATION EVERY DAY T IS ONLY A MATTER OF
TIME BEFORE I GET THIS TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AND PUT ON MYSELF.
ALWAYS A PLAN.
>> WAS THERE A MOMENT WHEN WERE YOU-- BECAUSE YOUR DJ NAME WAS
CRIS LOVA LOVA.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> James: WHEN YOU BECAME AN ARTIST WERE YOU LIKE I GOT TO
CALL MYSELF CRIS LOVA LOVA, THAT IS LUDACRIS.
>> NO, THE FUNNY -- -- .
>> James: WE TALKED ABOUT-- THE LAST FAST AND
FURIOUS.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE IT IS OF THESE PEOPLE AND EVERYBODY THAT WE'RE
GOING TO SEE TEN AND 11.
>> James: TEN AND 11, THIS IS MY QUESTION.
SO IN THE LAST FILM, YOUR CHARACTER DROVE A CAR INTO
SPACE.
>> BEFORE ELEVATORON.
>> James: BEFORE ELON, BEFORE BEZ OS.
>> JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE FOR THE RECORD.
WE DID IT BEFORE THEM, AND I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> James: WHERE DO YOU, ARE YOU NOW LIKE GUYS, THIS
IS-- WHERE DO WE GO NOW?
>> WE HAVE TO SPONTANEOUSLY COME BUST AT THIS POINT.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE STORY IS GOING, DO PEOPLE TALK TO YOU
ABOUT IT IN ANYWAY.
>> APPROXIMATE T IS THE MOST TOP SECRET, THE FIRST THING I DO AS
SOON AS I OPEN THE SCRIPT, GOT TO GO THROUGH IT AND MAKE SURE
THAT I DON'T DIE AS A CHARACTER.
SO FAR IT HAS WORKED.
I STAYED ALIVE.
AS A BLACK MAN THAT IS HUGE.
LET ME GET A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THAT.
LET YOU KNOW.
I KNOW YOU HAD JAMIE LEE CURTIS OUT HERE, SCARY MOVIES BUT LONG
STORY SHORT, LIVE THROUGH IT, MAKE SURE I DON'T DIE AND THEN
GI THROUGH IT WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB AND CHECK OUT EVERYTHING.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WHERE CAN WE GO?
THE ONLY THING I THINK WE CAN DO IS FIGHT UNDERWATER OR
SOMETHING, I HAVE NO IDEA.
WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING.
>> AM I RIGHT, THAT IS IT, THAT 11 IS THE LAST ONE.
>> I WAS HAPPY TO BE IN ONE OF THE MOVIES LET ALONE.
I STARTED IN TWO AND THEN FIVE, AND THEN SIX, AND THEN SEVEN AND
THEN EIGHT, THEN NINE AND NOW TEN AND 11, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I WOULDN'T HAVE JACKETS LIKE THIS IF I WANT WASN'T IN THE
FAST AND FURIOUS FRANCHISE.
>> WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR NEXT SERIES.
KARMA'S WORLD, WHICH I KNOW IS-- TELL WAWS IT IS ABOUT AND
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE IT.
>> OH MY GOODNESS, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HAS BEEN THIS DEAR TO
MY HEART, INSPIRED BY MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, NOW 20 YEARS OLD, BUT
WHEN SHE WAS SIX SHE USED TO COME INTO MY STUDIO, DADDY, I
WANT TO RAP.
I WOULD USE KICK HER OUT, SHE WOULD KEEP COMING BACK, I WANT
TO RA, I WANT TO RAIMENTS SO I SAT HER DOWN, YOU HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR WORLD BECAUSE DADDY IS TALKING ABOUT
WHAT GOES ON IN HIS LIFE AND YOUR WORLD IS ABOUT HAVING FUN,
AND IT IS ABOUT LEARNING MORALS AND ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS.
SHE JUST WANTED TO CHAPPING THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.
AND KARMA'S WORLD, IT IS 14 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT, SO THIS IS ABOUT POSITIONS
T IS ABOUT VILLAGES, OF COURSE, AND BRINGING THINGS TO FREUICIAN
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT MUCH.
AND THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S ALL INSPIRED.
SO KARMA'S WORLD.
