I was raised old school,
man. I love old school.
I love old school. How many of y'all
was raised old school?
Clap ya hands if you was
raised old school!
(audience clapping)
You are my people. I love old school.
Kids, nowadays need to
be raised old school,
you understand me?
Kids now a days are so blessed,
ya hear me?
They are so blessed,
I know kids now a days,
going on cruises.
We couldn't afford no cruise
when I was coming up,
ya understand me?
We was broke.
How many of y'all went on a cruise
when you was a child?
Clap ya hands if you went
on a cruise, when you—
I hate you. You had money.
(audience laughing)
Clap ya hands if you did
not go on a cruise when
you was a child? Clap ya hands.
(audience cheers)
Thank you! Thank you!
(audience applauding)
You are my people, baby,
you understand me?
We couldn't afford a cruise. The closest
we came to getting a cruise, is
watching Gilligan's Island.
That was it for us.
(audience cheering)
Trying to tell you man just,
kids getting all in the jacuzzi.
Our jacuzzi was farting in the tub,
that's all we had.
(audience laughing)
Kids are blessed nowadays
and they are soft. I'm telling you,
kids are soft now a days.
Back in the day, we was hard baby.
We came up hard. Why?
'Cause our parents
beat the bricks off of us,
ya understand me?
How many of y'all got beat
when you was growing up?
Clap ya hands if you got beat.
(audience clapping)
We got beat when we was growing up,
we ain't shot up no schools,
we didn't touch no guns
that was in the house,
we didn't go in the living room
'cause it was for grown folks only.
You understand me.
(audience laughing)
Kids are so soft nowadays,
they got to wear helmets,
and elbow pads, and knee pads
just to ride a bike.
Come on, man.
We would ride butt naked!
(audience laughing)
We was hard.
Skinning your knees up,
that was all part
of learning how to ride the bike,
you understand.
Next time the bike start to fall over,
you remember that skinned knee,
you was smart enough to do what?
Jump off it quick
before it hit the ground, man.
Just kids nowadays keep running
into trucks and trees.
They dumb, I'm trying to tell you.
(audience laughing)
They got their helmet on,
when I was coming up,
if you wore a helmet
that meant you rode
the short bus to school . . .
(audience laughing)
Kids don't even want to go
outside and play nowadays.
Back in the day, we would
go outside and play all day,
you understand me.
My son, he's 19 years old now, right?
But when he was about
9, 10 years old, right,
we're living in Atlanta.
Summer time, it's a
beautiful day outside.
I go to his room.
This is all I see, just . . .
(audience laughing)
I'm like, son. Why don't
you go outside and play?
He like, "hmmhmnn."
(audience laughing)
"Too hot."
I unplugged this game.
I made him go outside.
I said, get outside right now,
get outside, right.
(audience cheers)
Made him go outside,
he outside about 10 minutes.
He come back in the house,
like, "Woop.
"it's hot."
(audience laughing)
I said, you was only
out there 10 minutes.
He's like, "I need some water."
I said, man, get some water
out the sink.
He said, "Dad I can't
"have water out the sink.
"Water out the sink got
"too much bacteria in it.
"My system can't handle that.
"I need bottled water, daddy.
"That's what I need, bottled water."
I made him go back outside
thirsty, yes I did.
(audience laughing)
Yes I did, 'cause back in the day
we didn't come in the house
to get water.
What did we do,
we went to the water hole,
you understand me.
Turn it on, talking about,
(slurping water)
We drunk a lot of dirt
but it made us healthy.
(audience laughing)
