Ludacris: Did the dash in the Rover
like it's Fast & Furious.
She see my number in his phone,
now you actin' curious.
Vin Diesel: What's up? This is Vin Diesel.
Ludacris: And what's going on? This is Ludacris.
Vin Diesel: We're about to break down some lyrics
on Between the Lines.
Before we get into the video, be sure to check out
our new movie, 'F9,' on June 25th.
Hearing our film referenced in music
is the culture.
It's not just the magazines or the outlets
that cover cinema.
This is going deeper into the heart
of the places that we come from.
Ludacris: And it's a humbling experience.
It lets you know that, you know, we're a permanent fixture
in society and culture, in just everything.
Like, it's a part of life at this point.
Vin Diesel: Dior (Remix) Gunna.
Speedin', whippin' like Toretto.
Push these Pradas to the pedal.
I'm feeling it.
I think it's good writing.
I think you say a lot with referencing Toretto,
how you speeding, how you whipping,
and what kind of rides you riding,
or your precision driving.
You know, there's a lot on it.
I think what you find with all the characters
in the 'Fast' franchise is that they've been consistent.
You've been living with them for two decades.
You've watched them evolved.
You've seen them go through the good times.
and the hard times.
I think that our characters represent a code,
a multicultural family,
and a loyalty to one another
that I think we all want to pull from
Ludacris: "In My Life" by Ludacris.
I used to care so much what people thought about me,
now I really could give a fuck.
Not when I own over 15 million in real estate
and bought all of the 'Fast & Furious' trucks.
Didn't necessarily buy all of them.
When we shot in the UK,
the steering wheel was on the other side
and I thought it might be too much of a burden for me
to bring those particular ones back.
But all the other ones, yes,
I actually do own a car from them
and that's my collection, so, I love that.
You know, I put my real life into these bars, man.
And that's what art is supposed to be about.
It's supposed to imitate life.
And I was glad that I was able to put that
on one of my songs on one of my albums.
And it's truth.
A lot of rappers brag, it's just pure and raw honesty
when it comes to Ludacris.
Vin Diesel: "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa.
How could we not talk about family,
when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through,
you were standing there by my side.
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride.
When they wrote it, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth,
they told me later that they were thinking,
what would Dom say to Brian if he never saw Brian again?
What the song has become is
a hymn, a anthem, a way for us to
in that kinda modern day version of brotherhood
articulate our feeling of loss in a way that
attempts to be optimistic.
A concept of saying, "I'll tell you all about it,
when I see you again," is saying,
I'm gonna see you when I get upstairs.
So it's a very deep, profound song.
I know so many people that can't hear that song
without being emotional.
And I've heard so many people come up to me
and say, both that song and the 'Fast 7'
that the song lives in has helped them get through
the tragedy of loss.
Ludacris: "Act Up" by City Girls.
Did the dash in the Rover like it's Fast & Furious.
She see my number in his phone,
now you actin' curious.
I've heard so many "Fast & Furious" references
that it just lets you know this is,
it's etched in people's brains
and it's etched in people's lives.
The same way great music is eternal
and it always brings you back to
certain memories and emotions that you have,
the same way this franchise has done
for so many different people and continues to do.
And that is just a testament to how proud we are,
how humble we are that people continue to show us love.
Vin Diesel: What's been so special about
the music component of 'Fast & Furious'
is the cultural inclusion.
When I hear Bad Bunny say the name I go, "Wow, that's cool."
That's something that says,
okay, people are reacting to what we are doing
because we're moving in our films with integrity.
Yes, it is a sense of validation
when people mention or reference our cinematic universe
or our characters, it means everything
Ludacris: Only advice I would give,
and I mean this in the most respectful way,
that just because you continue to reference the movie
and people in it doesn't necessarily secure you
a spot to act in the films.
I've had so many people come up to me saying,
"Man, like, what do I need to do to get in the movie, man?"
And it's just like, they try to drop
these little hints here and there.
And I'm like, man, it's not up to me to do that.
I think this is the number one most sought after,
"Can I get a cameo?" franchise in the entire world.
Vin Diesel: We feel appreciated and because of that,
we want to do more and deliver more for the fans
that have been the best fans in cinematic history,
plain and simple, and we acknowledge that.
And we just want to work harder
to make you all proud.
