“Throw the Prada slippers on when I walk in my house. P. Diddy And Tommy Lee know what
I'm talking about.” I do not know The Game, but I do know the slipper game.
Hey, what up? It's Tommy Lee from Motley Crue. I'm about to break down some lyrics on Between
the Lines.
You would not believe, how on the streets, how many people come up and they're, like,
"Yo, T. Lee." It's a very cool phenomenon. I don’t even know
how to explain it.
The first time I heard my name in a hip-hop track, I actually didn't hear it. I saw it.
I was watching MTV, and it was an Eminem track. And it's me chasing Pamela around the couch,
and I was, like, "What the fuck? Dude, this is crazy.”
“Yacht Club” by Rick Ross
"Oh, Lord, I'm a star down in St. Barts. The fat Tommy Lee. I made out with like eight broads."
Nice work, Rick. Eight, eight broads. I've been on a bunch of parties like that including
ones I’ve hosted on my own. That just doesn't suck. That's always fun, man.
“Suffocate” by Future
I'm a rockstar like Tommy Lee and I got them bands like I play the drum. I got 100 thousand
cash on me and I got a lot of tattoos on my arm.
This is crazy, dude. I didn't even know this existed.
That's the cool thing. I've noticed over the years, hip-hop
went from like this street-y kind of cool urban-y shit, to like rockstar status shit, ya know.
It's honored that they're shining the light on that life and that style man. It's cool, man.
My favorite tattoo is my back. And it kind of looks at like almost wings on my shoulder
blades and then it kind of comes down. It kind of fits perfectly to the body. And then
it kind of flares out on the top of your ass. I always tell people if you're going to get
a tattoo, don't get some little thing because later you're just going to, you're going to
get a larger one and realize, “Man, I should've went big.” Always go big.
“Breathe” - Lil Wayne
You're my Pamela Anderson. I'm your Tommy Lee. We break up every year, like TO break up teams.
That'll be the second Tommy and Pamela mention. That's cool. I have not met him yet, which
is really weird. Yo, Lil Wayne. Get at me, dude. Let's make some crazy shit.
I'm here, man. Calabasas.
“The One” by Royce da 5'9"
“I'm the one, who you're trying to be? Nothing to hide, my Jimmy covers up my Tommy Lee.”
Yeah. I mean I get it.
You know what? That's a good thing, man.
I've been blessed in several departments, because when
the brothers are shouting out your dick, you know you're doing all right.
“Famous Dude” by Lil Dicky
“I just want to hit the floor with Paulie D and cross swords up with Tommy Lee.”
What's with all the dick references? For a white boy, he can rap. I think he's cool.
It must have been some YouTube thing where he was
going around and making videos in people's houses. I think that's where I got turned
on to him. I'm like, “This dude is crazy, man. He just rolls up to someone's house and
was like, ‘Yo can I shoot a music video.’”
“Photoshoot” by Gucci Mane
“Like Tommy Lee and Pamela I'm fucking on the camera. More stamina than animals. Gucci
is no amateur.”
That's good, dude. Here we go. Back to the porno reference. Everybody's got their mind
in the gutter. You know what, that was a really crazy time.
“Ya Heard” - The Game
“Throw the Prada slippers on when I walk in my house. P. Diddy and Tommy Lee know what
I'm talking about.”
I do not know The Game, but I do know the slipper game. Dude, I love house shoes with
slippers, man. I wear them all the time.
It's possible that we met at one of Puffy's parties and we were both hammered and don't
remember. That's possible.
I remember this one time at Puffy’s party in the Hamptons, the white party, sitting
there talking to Mariah about tattoos. She goes, “I want to get a tattoo of a butterfly.”
And I was like, “Don't get a little tiny one. This one will blow people's minds. Do
it on your back, but all in glow in the dark. What's that called? The phosphorus in the
ink. So if you had a dress with the back coming down or no back, a backless dress and there
was any black light or that blue light, that thing would just be…” And she was like,
“Oh my God, I should get that.”
“Motley Crew” by THEY.
"That's why we ride like troops through this motherfucker. Sunset, no roof in this motherfucker,
Tommy Lee, Motley Crue in this motherfucker."
That is so cool to have your name and the word “motherfucker” in there a couple times.
Love, dudes. That's so cool. And that's a cool track. It's actually, that and I think
there might be another one in our list here, that's in my workout playlist when I go to
the gym. That's definitely in there.
“Posse In Effect” - MCA from the Beastie Boys
"Smoking in the boys room is what I do best while you're at a party, your girlfriend fessed."
"Smoking in the boys room," making a Motley reference. The Beasties were a really early
influence for me. When I did my first “Methods of Mayhem” record, Mix Master Mike DJ’d
on that record and also did some shows with us live. So, that's my Beastie connection, I guess.
“Things I Want” - Jack Black, Tenacious D
I want a solid gold Harley with machine guns on the front. I want a Motley Crue lunch box
filled with sticky buns.
Riding Harleys with machine guns, that's a lot of fun actually. I don't know if he's
done it or he just wrote about it, but that's some fun shit driving a Harley and just ripping.
At one point we had our own brew, Motley Brew. It wasn't alcoholic, it was just a blue colored
brew. And they made it so that when you drank it, when you shit, it's just bright blue.
So you'd have a blue poo. It was okay, it was safe and everything. Personal weird things
for me is I've seen, it blew my mind, it's on a menu, it's in a sushi bar in Vegas. They
got this, it's called the Tommy Lee, and it's this fucking sushi roll that looks like a dick.
I'm honored, man. It's a trip. It really is a trip. I kind of don't know what to say.
Guys shout you out like that, especially ... These are big hip-hop songs, man. I hope you all
check out Andro. It's the best shit I think I've ever done. I've literally worked for
over two years on that record, making it something special, really special, for a lot of different people.
Say hello to the cool, flavorful lens over there. I can't stand anything normal. Everything's
going to be a little tweaky, so it's a tweaked out lens for y’all, man, so you don't have
to look at a normal... “Hey, how's it going?”
