[Music]
[Laughter]
yeah the deep Frank is crazy
that's ridiculous I thought I mean my
manager Dhruv had a bet and I said man I
think it's gonna take him more than 24
hours to notice the [ __ ] and Drew's like
nas gonna take him less you know I was
really moved by that dude you'll always
be like my biggest like I would say like
my idol for me I feel like you've done
everything the right way man I really
like look up to that it was deeply
humbling man and I just I appreciate the
honor and I'm uh you know I was really
moved by that dude you know I'm 51 now
so I've made a long journey in in this
business and to you know to be honored
in that way was was somebody had to do
it in it and I felt like I had to you
know I grew up on you I grew up on the
Fresh Prince I grew up on your movies
like I grew up on Will Smith and you
know if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be
the man and I am being friends with Jada
and you know and he's my homeboy many
such you've been he's such a great kid
everything I say in these records I
really mean like I pray that I can raise
my kids the way that you have raised
them and you know you have awesome
children and you're just a model citizen
to me man you know it is it is an
emotional thing for me it's like you're
even right now with you me and my son on
on this chat there's something you know
I don't know what it is there's
something that is emotional or you know
about that for me you're not another
thing I want to say about how much I
love this song is the fact that he did
go from first making music in Philly
winning the first ever rap Grammy yeah
and then
no making that transition from mainland
music into soon Dan JD after all of that
I made you let's be creating yo I'd be
created when I was coming up Julius
Erving dr. J yeah what was it was one of
the first image of positive male
blackness you know what I mean but the
thing I noticed about doc that was so in
inspiring to me is winning losing no
matter what he was calm he was composed
and he was articulate I'd like with with
your I'm not racist that is brilliant
and for me I'm not I'm not sure if I'm
not racist or backwards is my favorite
just on a lyrical level two rhymes fire
and then when you dip into the ideas
that were able to be communicated
simultaneously and then the video like
that's the thing that that you do that's
really a difficult thing to do is
marrying the pictures to the words and
the ideas in a way that that is
exponential I actually write the videos
first
oh the soundtrack to the video with
that's so crazy that like that's that's
how I work I start with the images it's
so fulfilling when you do all of that
and hit the mark you know and it's like
cuz I've been in a situation where you
love something you go in you commit you
commit like that and miss you know you
know so oh I missed I missed a couple
times yeah I turned down neo to do the
wild wild west yeah that even hurts to
say that now yeah no you know what is it
was um you know you create something it
doesn't actually it just doesn't turn
out the way you saw in your head the
first men in black was so wildly
revolutionary so I teamed up me and
Barry Sonnenfeld
teamed up again to make wild wild west
and I was just I wanted that collab to
strike the gold that the first men in
black struck literally saw that video I
was like I'm back in the lab that's lit
you're getting back in yo you're doing
it if there's any type of way that I can
contribute to any of that we can do it
right here
real formal
