Miles, what's up, man?
I'm good.
How are you doing, bro?
It's so good to see you, man.
And can you believe it was over 10 years ago
when you first appeared on "Ellen?"
10 years?
10 years, man.
A lot has happened in the ten-- look, look, look.
A lot's happened.
You got a mustache now.
The fro has come down a little bit.
And this is really cool, man.
I heard that Ellen inspired you to do your own 12
Days of Giveaways.
Talk about that.
Yeah, so obviously, I've been watching "Ellen," obviously,
you can tell, since the past 10 years.
And a lot of the things she's done
is, obviously, take an influence on me and a lot of my family,
my friends.
And I think it was about two or three years ago
that I seen she's always done this 12 Days of Giveaways.
And I wanted to do something like that on my own.
And what I wanted to do was I wanted
to go to malls, grocery stores, just anywhere where
I can give back for people during the holiday season,
like my family, my family, my friends, whoever
wanted to join in.
So now it's like a family tradition
that we do every year.
So thanks to Ellen for that.
We can clap for that.
I love that, man.
Say, Miles, this is really awesome
being able to talk to you like this.
But we've known each other for a while.
We've performed together.
And it's been a minute, but, man, I've
literally watched you grow up.
Yes.
Look, me and Cyrus are there, bow.
I remember that, too.
That was a thing.
Yeah, that was tight.
That was super cool.
And listen, I do know one thing that's really important to you.
And I think this is a super dope goal.
You want to be the next Miles Morales in Spider-Man.
Yes.
I think that's one of the biggest goals
that I've ever had when it comes to the acting industry
or something like that.
There's always things that I've loved about it.
I love Marvel.
And I love what Sony is doing with them.
And I feel like I fit the role perfectly.
Yes.
I feel like that's something I've always wanted to be.
My name is Miles.
I'm Black, and I'm also Hispanic.
So there's so many things that kind of line up with it.
Absolutely.
I feel like that makes sense.
And it's like, might as well.
I just want to get that campaign going.
Absolutely.
And see, one of the great things about Miles too,
in the comic books, is he's a great artist as well.
So not only are you a dancer and an actor,
but you also just released an album, "We the Future."
So tell everybody about that.
"We the Future," I've always kind of made music.
But it's not something I really took seriously until recently.
And I think me being on "Blackish,"
it gave me that light to want to start speaking up on topics
that no one else is really talking about
and fill that lane and feel comfortable
speaking up about it.
And "We the Future" came to my mind,
where it's like, I've seen things that are going on
recently, just things that are happening
with the youth, and just all around the world.
And knowing my generation is going
to be the ones that are going to be
the upcoming leaders around the world,
around the country, whatever it is, I just want to make sure
that the people from my generation realize that
and know that we're going to be the ones that are going to have
that power coming up soon.
So that's one of the main reasons why
I wanted to even make this album and just
take on music as something that I've always wanted to do.
We can clap for that for sure.
I'm proud of you, man, proud of everything you're doing.
Now before we go, I got a bone to pick with you, man.
I understand you've been walking around saying that I'm not
popping off anymore.
You're saying that I can't get it popping.
What's happening?
It's a different style.
It's the laid back style.
It's not the same aggressive--
that's what I feel like, because I've watched you forever.
So I feel like the way we dance is more loose and kick back.
But at certain times, you've got to kick it in.
At certain times you've got to pump the brakes up.
Oh is that what it is?
Cool.
So then, listen, so as we go to break, let's go ahead
and drop a track.
And you can back those words up and stand up and show me
what this aggressive style is you're talking about.
And let's do that.
Let's get a track going on real quick.
Let's get a track.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
That's fine, just a little bit.
"Blackish" airs Tuesday at 9:00 on ABC.
That's Miles Brown right there.
I'm so proud of this guy.
Your future is looking bright.
We'll be right back.
