Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out! | |
| The Joe Rogan Experience. | ||
| Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day! | ||
| But then you thinking like that, that's like... | ||
| That's the curse of being successful though, right? | ||
| Like people lean on you. | ||
| I'm successful but on my own terms. | ||
| Yeah, but that's still successful. | ||
| Yeah, but... | ||
| On your own terms is great. | ||
| Because, see, my shit was the music industry. | ||
| And the music industry is one of those type of situations where you can be as creative as you want to be, but does that make you money? | ||
| You know? | ||
| So you have this whole fucking angel and double on your shoulder. | ||
| Like, make a hit song or be creative as you want to be. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Do what you want to do or do what you think is going to sell. | ||
| In my whole entire career, I just did what I wanted to do. | ||
| But at this point, after 10 years, I sit back sometime and I think about, like, damn, did I make a mistake? | ||
| Because, you know, there's still a lot of people in my family that struggle. | ||
| And it's like, fuck, you know? | ||
| But if I just didn't care about being Danny Brown and being so cool and trying to make the most experimental music I could possibly make, fucking just don't give a fuck. | ||
| Make that fucking hit song. | ||
| But isn't that you, though? | ||
| But I can do it. | ||
| You could do both. | ||
| That's the whole thing of what makes you a great artist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A person like Jay-Z, he does both. | |
| I don't know if I can do both because it's such a drastic change from what I love as underground music and what is commercially considered to be pop music. | ||
| It's such a drastic change. | ||
| It's such a fucking, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| So I don't know if I can ever make it. | ||
| It's like with Patrice O'Neal. | ||
| Would he ever been a fucking, like, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Commercial, like, stand-up comedy. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| No, I think he would have been. | ||
| At this point in age? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| We would have forced it through. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He would have made it. | ||
| That's the one person that I look up to. | ||
| He was amazing. | ||
| I look up him so much. | ||
| Everybody would have forced it through. | ||
| Even if he couldn't get on a television show, even if nothing ever happened for him like that, we would have all had him on podcasts. | ||
| Because even with my rap career and just how I look at making music, I look at him as a super inspiration. | ||
| My last album, which was called You Know What I'm Saying, which was actually from Time and Christina, because they had this bit. | ||
| But we had this bit where they had niggas, and you know niggas be like, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Even me, I say you know what I'm saying like a lot, like a motherfucker. | ||
| But before that, the name of the album was the Patrice O'Neill Theory. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Because Patrice O'Neill, he had this theory where he'd talk about like men has periods. | ||
| But we don't necessarily have periods. | ||
| We just want to fuck another bitch. | ||
| So, every time you're mad at your girl, like, uh, she, like, all on you, and she, like, uh, you're like, uh, you're like, uh, my woman is beautiful. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, but you're like, bitch, you just want another taste of something. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Like it's to the point where if you've been so faithful for so long, you're like, I'll fuck a homeless bitch on the corner. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| But if I did, it's going to make me love you so much more. | ||
| Like I won't have this attitude with you, this whole attitude I got with you. | ||
| You think, why are you so bad? | ||
| Why are you acting like this? | ||
| Because I need some new pussy. | ||
| And that's all it is. | ||
| The Patrice O'Neal theory. | ||
| That's the Patrice O'Neal theory. | ||
| He had a lot of great theories. | ||
| But I would say, listen, I'm going to say this because I love my girl at home. | ||
| I know she probably listens to this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love you, baby. | |
| But no, I'm out of that. | ||
| I don't have that. | ||
| Don't get hurt like that no more. | ||
| I'm 40 years old. | ||
| It's like, come on, this motherfucker's been burnt out. | ||
| They've been hitting this motherfucker. | ||
| It's been speedbagging this dick. | ||
| This dick's been getting speedbagged for the last 10 years. | ||
| When did you decide to do this podcast that you're doing with your mom's house? | ||
| Because it's hilarious. | ||
| No, the thing was that... | ||
| Oh, you know Uncle Joey. | ||
| He started? | ||
| No, you want me to bring it? | ||
| Because it goes back into me just being a rapper, and just me being on some rap shit, and I was on tour. | ||
| I was on tour for a long part of time, and being on tour, you get bored, and I'm a gamer, so I buy a lot of video games, and guess what? | ||
| I bought UFC. Before the good UFCs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a whatever UFC video game. | |
| So I'm playing that and you were the fucking announcer on it. | ||
| So I'm playing that and you're the announcer on the album tour. | ||
| And then I guess, I don't know, some type of way I was watching UFC of some shit. | ||
| And then I seen you on there and it was like, oh, this the nigga from the video game! | ||
| Is this not hilarious to you? | ||
| Like, this is how I got up on this whole shit. | ||
| So I'm like, this the nigga from the video game! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Rogan! | |
| So then I started listening to Joe Rogan shit, and then from seeing Joe Rogan shit, I seen Uncle Joey on there. | ||
| Then I seen Uncle Joey on there, and I seen that, and I just started going through the fucking, um, the rabbit hole of y'all shit. | ||
| Like, even the shit of fucking, uh, fucking Red Band dumbass, always talking about fucking Olive Garden and shit like that, like... | ||
| Like the fucking like... | ||
| Olive Garden and Butthole. | ||
| Yeah, like the Justin TV there. | ||
| So I've been... | ||
| I will credit you to fucking up my fucking music career in some sense. | ||
| I will say that. | ||
| Because it got to the point where all I did was... | ||
| All I ever did in my life was listen to music. | ||
| I was one of those people where I would be like, man, people don't really listen to music. | ||
| They just listen to music in their cars or when they got function. | ||
| I'm the type of person that listens to music 24 seconds a day. | ||
| Whatever new. | ||
| But then I started getting into podcasting and listening to your shit and doing that and all that. | ||
| So... | ||
| I'm just being into podcasting and listening to y'all shit. | ||
| You know, fucking Uncle Joey and all that shit. | ||
| And then I got into why I made shit, listening to they shit. | ||
| And then, you know, just time hit me up. | ||
| Like, come through. | ||
| But when time hit me up, he didn't know how much of a fanboy I was or the shit. | ||
| So when I came through, I was hitting them with all this shit, you know, all the fucking Wyoming shit, like, you know, straight real mommy shit. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jeans. | |
| Yeah, so the jeans, so that's what happened. | ||
| The jeans, the whole, the fan base of the whole shit fucked with me. | ||
| They knew I was, like, real in the shit, so... | ||
| They embrace me with that shit. | ||
| So, Tom would always hit me up and talk about it. | ||
| He'd be like, man... | ||
| Because me and Tom would FaceTime and talk to each other. | ||
| Some real friend shit. | ||
| Ain't had nothing to do with no business or nothing else. | ||
| And Tom would be like, man, you should do a podcast. | ||
| I'm telling you, you'll be good at doing podcasts. | ||
| I'm glad he told you that. | ||
| And this and that. | ||
| But my whole shit was with him and I was like, man, no... | ||
| Being good at podcasts is good, but the actual production of it, which makes podcasts good. | ||
| Because I can set up a fucking camera and a fucking microphone in my bedroom and start talking shit in front of the camera, but is that going to be good? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Danny, it would be good. | ||
| But I was like, no. | ||
| Listen, all of it's good. | ||
| It just captures you. | ||
| It's nice to have great production, and the way they do it at your mom's house is awesome. | ||
| You have a real professional studio. | ||
| I went over there and visited. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's beautiful. | ||
| The whole setup is beautiful. | ||
| But that's my whole shit. | ||
| I was like, I'm not going to do it unless it's like that. | ||
| But you can do it on FaceTime. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| I know, but I was like... | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| You're just good at it. | ||
| Because you're a fan of podcasts for so long, I think you were probably talking back in your head. | ||
| Yeah, like it gotta be big. | ||
| It gotta be like, it gotta look professional. | ||
| It can be, it can be fucking, but see, this is the double-edged sword with that with me. | ||
| Because what I loved about podcasting was like, I was almost like a fly on the wall against seeing like friends just hanging out drinking and talking shit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And now when you watch podcasting, it's so fucking overproduced. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I heard that these niggas is writing scripts now. | |
| No. | ||
| I swear I heard some shit like that where they said these niggas got scripts and they looking at them on a Trello prompter and they sitting there doing podcasts. | ||
| They doing scripted podcasts. | ||
| Podcasts are supposed to be like you just a fly on the wall sitting there in a room with a couple friends and you hearing them talking shit and you like that's why we love fucking Rogan so much. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| In the beginning stages of now this is some real shit. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| But in the beginning stages of the shit like no we're a fly on the wall but The point of that that has turned to what media is in real life now. | ||
| It makes so much sense when you got fucking, we went through reality TV so much. | ||
| Now, motherfuckers that play video games watch other motherfuckers that play video games for fun. | ||
| Danny, I had a bit a long time ago about a cameraman from a reality TV show getting his own reality TV show. | ||
| So the reality TV show was about a cameraman following around a cameraman on a reality TV show. | ||
| And then I go, but then people are going to go, well, what about the cameraman behind the cameraman? | ||
| And then they're going to do a cameraman show on that. | ||
| I would love to see, me and my fucked up brain, I would love to see that show, but it had to be like the niggas that shoot porn, though. | ||
| I want to know about the porn cameramen. | ||
| Porn cameramen? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He a little creepy, too. | ||
| He a little creepy. | ||
| How you get that job? | ||
| You just looking for it? | ||
| Because I feel like a cameraman is such a vast. | ||
| Nigga, you shooting for the NBA or you shooting for the motherfucking anal projections? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| So you pick at your poison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you could be a professional and work for both. | |
| I mean, no. | ||
| At the end of the day, what I will say that's good about the cameraman shit is that, just like everything else with DJing, everything that comes with the internet, everything, or even like production equipment, all this shit has become so... | ||
| Easy to use. | ||
| Back in the day, I couldn't go on YouTube and find an instruction manual on how to use an MPC. You know, Jamie's an audio engineer, like a real audio engineer. | ||
| Who went to school for it? | ||
| Yeah, I did go to school. | ||
| There was no YouTube for it. | ||
| And then the year I graduated, YouTube got invented. | ||
| How much of what you learned in school is still valid? | ||
| It's hard to say, because there's even some of the computer programs, they don't edit for you, but they handle a lot of the shit that was difficult. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| You want to hear the fucked up part that I think about is that it's better in this sense, because you get a lot of different point of views. | ||
| If I'm a nigga that I'm trying to learn some shit on YouTube, and it's a topic that has a lot of different people that's talking about it, I'm taking the best parts of or whatever identifies on me. | ||
| I'm like, oh, I'm figuring that shit out and do that like that instead of just learning from one person. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, you know, I just started. | ||
| I've joined a Muay Thai gym. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, man. | |
| Where at? | ||
| I suck. | ||
| Shouts out to all my boys at fucking Ogre Muay Thai. | ||
| Shouts out to my boy Spencer, my boy Dave, all my motherfuckers. | ||
| Chantel, Autumn. | ||
| Yeah, no, I suck. | ||
| I actually suck. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| Everybody sucks in the beginning. | ||
| No, I'm chilling out right now. | ||
| I'll probably go back in a few months. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| But you were doing it? | ||
| No, I've been three, four months hard. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's good for you, man. | ||
| It's great to get tension out, too. | ||
| Yeah, but it's one of those things, you know, yeah, but I didn't know that part, though, because I was doing privates, and that was fun, you know, learning shit. | ||
| Private's good. | ||
| Then I was like, you know what? | ||
| Let me go to real class. | ||
| Start going to real class. | ||
| Oh, and sparring with people and shit? | ||
| No, pad holding. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| My nigga. | ||
| I ain't signing for that job. | ||
| Holding the pads for people's bullshit. | ||
| Bro, I ain't signing for that job. | ||
| So I haven't been back. | ||
| I actually haven't been back. | ||
| No, I mean, we're going through a lot of shit. | ||
| You know why I haven't been back to Muay Thai? | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| But I guess I'm talking about it. | ||
| But no, we was in class one day. | ||
| Shouts of my nigga Spencer, man. | ||
| We was in class one day. | ||
| And then this nigga was like, oh, you know what it is? | ||
| Because I didn't have no Muay Thai shorts. | ||
| So I was just like, you know, I was wearing my normal, like, regular shorts. | ||
| I'm wearing, like, Gucci shorts and shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The whole gym looking at me crazy. | ||
| So I'm going to buy some Muay Thai shorts. | ||
| And you know me, I'm a nigga. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to buy some fly shit. | |
| So I bought the shiniest Muay Thai shorts I could find. | ||
| Them motherfuckers look like gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what I'm saying? | |
| I'm like, these bitches fire though. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I got the fire Muay Thai shorts. | ||
| What do they look like? | ||
| You have a picture of them? | ||
| I mean, I can show you. | ||
| Yeah, show me a picture. | ||
| Just the gold shiny Muay Thai. | ||
| But I show it to the Muay Thai. | ||
| But I think he felt... | ||
| You know what that made me feel like? | ||
| It was like when a nigga suck at basketball. | ||
| And then he show up with the whole Jordan fit on. | ||
| With the Jordan and the iris and sleeve. | ||
| So I felt like that's what Muay Thai was looking at me like at that point. | ||
| But I didn't have no Muay Thai clothes. | ||
| This is my first time buying some Muay Thai shit. | ||
| I'm an ill nigga. | ||
| I love fashion. | ||
| So I'm going to buy some black shit. | ||
| What you want me to buy? | ||
| Some normal fake ass shit? | ||
| So, during the class... | ||
| Yeah, I think I'll let that go. | ||
| Yeah, so one of the teachers, she was like, you know, you got these shiny ass shorts on, you worried about the wrong shit. | ||
| And I thought to myself... | ||
| Why would anybody care? | ||
| It's fucking shorts. | ||
| But I thought to myself, and I was like, you know what? | ||
| You right. | ||
| I am worried about the wrong shit. | ||
| Why am I here playing Bruce Leroy with y'all niggas? | ||
| And I got to put a fucking album out. | ||
| So I haven't been to Muay Thai since. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've been at the crib trying to finish my... | |
| When I get back, and I thought about it too, because the way it started is because I will always talk about on my podcast how I got my ass whooped before, and he hit me up and was like, yo, you tired of getting your ass whooped? | ||
| Come to Muay Thai class. | ||
| And not necessarily me. | ||
| I'm just trying to get in shape. | ||
| I just don't want to, you know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't want to be fat, you know. | ||
| But that's a good thing for getting in shape. | ||
| It's the funnest thing to get in shape, hitting pads and all that shit. | ||
| Yeah, you're learning something that's fun. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| And it's tiring. | ||
| No, it was great. | ||
| It was actually great. | ||
| Yeah, it's like the best way to get a cardio in because it's actually fun to do. | ||
| Whereas, like, a lot of cardio is just suck. | ||
| It's just getting through the suck, like an assault bike. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| That's just getting through suck. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I was actually having a great time. | ||
| I was having fun. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| So, I haven't been ever since that episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotta go back. | |
| And they gotta let that go. | ||
| They gotta let that shit go. | ||
| I was hanging with... | ||
| You're Danny Brown. | ||
| You should be allowed to wear whatever fucking shorts you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's one thing I thought about, too, though! | |
| That's what you're supposed to be. | ||
| But you know they sell their own shit, too, so maybe you feel like I was bad out of anybody. | ||
| They gotta let that shit go. | ||
| All that shit they have in their head about what kind of fucking shorts you have, who gives a shit? | ||
| But part two, I just looked at it like I never joined this situation as me trying to fight a nigga. | ||
| They're shorts. | ||
| No, I'm saying, I get it. | ||
| They're just shorts. | ||
| No, I get it, because even one time we had a conversation, they was like, man, you gotta know how to protect yourself, and this and that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like... | |
| Nigga, if I hit a nigga, I'm gonna get sued. | ||
| And part two, if a nigga hit me, I'm gonna shoot this nigga. | ||
| Like, guns... | ||
| Y'all forget that guns exist and we live in Texas. | ||
| I don't give a fuck about how many elbows you throw. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's niggas with big-ass guns! | |
| Especially in... | ||
| The climate, the situation that I live in, it's not like, you get what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, bro, so, me doing more trial, having, that was literally, I'm 40 years old. | ||
| I'm not about to fucking fight nobody. | ||
| I would never think that you would. | ||
| But, I think everybody should learn at least some understanding of martial arts. | ||
| Let me say this. | ||
| Be good for everybody. | ||
| One thing it did for me, and I don't want to talk, I hate this, but I had to say, because I will forget, that's my fucked up brain. | ||
| I know podcasts are like, oh, you don't talk about them motherfuckers. | ||
| But I'm sorry. | ||
| But if I don't say it, I'll forget it. | ||
| But it humbled the fuck out of me. | ||
| Because I'm the type of motherfucker, I talk shit. | ||
| Like, I get drunk. | ||
| Like, nigga, what's up, nigga? | ||
| What the fuck, nigga? | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Nigga, what? | ||
| Nigga, I've seen people, nigga, nurses. | ||
| Women 5'3", 140 pounds, kicking a bag, you look like, nigga! | ||
|
unidentified
|
If she hit me with one of these, it's a wrap! | |
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| So, it humbled the fuck out of me. | ||
| And it made me know that I would never... | ||
| I never want to fight anyone in my life. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like everything else. | ||
| It looks way easier than it is. | ||
| If you're watching the UFC, and you're watching Israel Adesanya versus Alex Pajera, and you're watching the best in the world, and you think, if somebody fucks with me, I'm gonna do something to them. | ||
| Like, you have no idea how far that gap is. | ||
| It's humbling, because a girl's walking around with 140 pounds, right? | ||
| So that means her muscles and her legs are carrying 140 pounds everywhere she goes. | ||
| If she kicks you in the head, you're going unconscious. | ||
| So yeah, that's what's been happening with my Muay Thai gym. | ||
| That's why I haven't been back to Muay Thai. | ||
| It's good, though. | ||
| That whole thing's good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's crazy. | |
| Actually, fucking Tony, they had a party for the Adesanya prayer fight. | ||
| Oh, did they? | ||
| And he hit me up. | ||
| Tony's like, come through, pull up, pull up. | ||
| But I was sad about the Muay Thai shit. | ||
| But still? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it turned you off to martial arts? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| 12th Planet. | ||
| 10th Planet. | ||
| 10th Planet. | ||
| I know him. | ||
| What? | ||
| They around the corner, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, he was just saying, just go over there. | ||
| Well, that's a good place, too. | ||
| You don't have to go to the same gym. | ||
| No, as I'm saying, I might- Go to someone who respects your shorts. | ||
| I might have to switch gyms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Go to someone who respects your shorts. | ||
| Because I'm Denny Brown. | ||
| I can't be fucking wearing no bullshit. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Whoever's running that gym, let it go. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Part two is not the person that's ready to go. | ||
| Bro, Dennis Rodman shows up at your gym. | ||
| You gonna tell him what fucking shorts he can wear? | ||
| You're right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't. | |
| And guess what? | ||
| This is my first time buying, so it made me feel bad. | ||
| You know how it is when you're trying to be cool? | ||
| Because I didn't have no Muay Thai clothes. | ||
| I've been wearing just regular shorts, pulling up. | ||
| I never would wear their gym shit. | ||
| This is the first time I wore the gym t-shirt to the gym. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This nigga's like, you worried about the wrong shit. | ||
| You trying to look cool to do Muay Thai. | ||
| This is bad motherfucker. | ||
| And you suck at Muay Thai. | ||
| And it's like, bro. | ||
| I joined Muay Thai to get in shape. | ||
| So that's what happened. | ||
| Like I said, I haven't been doing Muay Thai. | ||
| I've been going to a normal gym, just doing normal shit, getting in shape. | ||
| Well, that's good, too, but they need to respect the shorts. | ||
| There's this dude named Badr Hari. | ||
| He's still an active kickboxer, but at one point in time, he was one of the best in the world, if not the best, in the heavyweight division, and he would fight golf shorts on. | ||
| I've been watching a lot of One. | ||
| Oh, One Championship? | ||
| Yeah, Rod Tang. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That dude's a beast. | |
| I like that because they have the just straight Muay Thai fights and shit like that, so I like watching their shit. | ||
| Did you see when Rod Tang fought Mighty Mouse? | ||
| Yeah, Mighty Mouse whooped his ass. | ||
| Yeah, they had a mixed fight. | ||
| It was one round, missed one round. | ||
| Mighty Mouse fucked him up. | ||
| Yeah, well, Mighty Mouse got through the first round and landed some good shots. | ||
| I look up to Mighty Mouse so much, man. | ||
| He's so good. | ||
| He's so good. | ||
| Like, I look at... | ||
| I know it's like weird. | ||
| I mean, because I don't like... | ||
| I mean, a lot of people feel like shit like race baiting and shit like that. | ||
| But you got to think like martial arts and like urban communities are not like... | ||
| It's not like... | ||
| It's not a fucking Muay Thai gym up the street. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So for a person to be from the hood and to be like, man, I want to, you know, get into that shit and get to fighting. | ||
| Because niggas fight every day. | ||
| Niggas do all type of shit. | ||
| It's actually... | ||
| I guess for the most part, it would be boxing. | ||
| Boxing is easier to get into, but jujitsu is expensive. | ||
| Because even me, I can't lie, was always like Kronk. | ||
| Like me being from Detroit, it always was boxing gyms around. | ||
| That I could, if I wanted to, I could have gotten shit. | ||
| Did you ever go into Kronk? | ||
| Fuck no! | ||

No? | |
| Yo, look at me, man! | ||
| I know, but just to look around, man, that place is so legendary. | ||
| Let me bring it down to you, man. | ||
| Emmanuel Stewart, Tommy Hearns. | ||
| It's different type of people in life, man. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You one of them type of niggas, you was always about the muscles and kicking niggas. | ||
| And some niggas, bro, some niggas don't care about this, and all they care about is what? | ||
| The clothes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I was always a fashion guy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, think about it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| You never was a fashion guy. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| See? | ||
| Look at me now, wear a fanny pack. | ||
| Don't that sound fucked up, though? | ||
| No, it doesn't sound fucked up to me at all. | ||
| No, because, no, I'm saying. | ||
| I could get it. | ||
| No, that's the thing. | ||
| I could understand it. | ||
| But that's the thing about it. | ||
| It's like, people that work out, I got this muscle-ass body, I can take my shirt off and show you how I look. | ||
| But then there's some niggas that's like, no, what, this shirt you took off? | ||
| That was some bullshit. | ||
| The shirt I took off? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that was some bullshit. | |
| What was that shirt? | ||
| Oh, no, nigga. | ||
| That ain't no Kiko Koshinov. | ||
| That ain't no motherfucker. | ||
| You didn't like my shirt? | ||
| No, it's not what I'm saying. | ||
| It's just fashion. | ||
| But this is Roots of Fight. | ||
| When you got muscles. | ||
| This is an old smoking Joe Frazier. | ||
| See, Joe, you're not even giving up. | ||
| This is from like one of his fights. | ||
| When you got muscles, niggas don't care what kind of clothes you wear. | ||
| I know, but this to me, this is like artwork. | ||
| This is the advertisement for Smoke and Joe Frazier's fight from 1971. Come on, man. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| This would be a great vintage pickup for me. | ||
| I will buy this. | ||
| I will buy this. | ||
| So that was fashionable. | ||
| I'll get it for you. | ||
| We're not making it like that, but I'm trying to tell you, it's some people... | ||
| It's people... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's people... | |
| No, I'm telling you! | ||
| It's people in this world that are like, all I gotta do... | ||
| I don't have to look muscular. | ||
| I don't have to... | ||
| All I gotta do is stay this certain size to be able to fit this certain type of clothing. | ||
| See, that's what y'all are, niggas. | ||
| No, but I get it. | ||
| I get it, because there's people that work out... | ||
| But they ain't working out how to do that. | ||
| They just doing coke and not eating. | ||
| There's people that work out that also do that. | ||
| They also get into fashion. | ||
| I just don't give a fuck. | ||
| No, it sucks. | ||
| I just don't give a fuck. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Like, when I see people that are into it, I appreciate it. | ||
| I don't not like it. | ||
| Like, when I see someone that has great style, you have great style. | ||
| Brendan Schaub has great style. | ||
| No, he doesn't. | ||
| I think he does. | ||
| I like the way he dresses. | ||
| I think he looks cool. | ||
| I don't do it. | ||
| But I like it. | ||
| I like when people put a little effort in. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| But I don't put any effort in. | ||
| No, that's just me. | ||
| That's what I just told you. | ||
| It's not because I have muscles. | ||
| It's because I'm busy. | ||
| And then you don't got waves. | ||
| I'm busy. | ||
| I don't have anything, man. | ||
| I don't have anything, man. | ||
| I got bald, stupid head. | ||
| But no, no. | ||
| But I like when people are into it. | ||
| I don't like to see a guy who dresses nice and go, look at this fucking idiot. | ||
| I think it looks good. | ||
| What I was saying to say is, that's like a defense mechanism for a lot of people. | ||
| Where they feel like, if I'm just good enough shape to look good in the clothes that I want to wear, that's good enough. | ||
| I don't have to be muscular. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| It's also, it shows that this is what you care about more. | ||
| Aesthetics and style and cool shit. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Cool shit. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| You want to hit me with the fucking fire? | ||
| Nice clothes are cool shit. | ||
| That's all I care about. | ||
| I know you do. | ||
| But you know what's fucked up about me? | ||
| I think where I'm at this point in my life. | ||
| Where I'm at. | ||
| God damn it, Daniel. | ||
| You gotta grow up. | ||
| Because I lived my entire life as a teenager. | ||
| I would try to hold that back. | ||
| If you and I were closer, I would try to tell you to not grow up and just stay who you are. | ||
| You have to have money to not grow up. | ||
| I think you could get both. | ||
| I mean, I've done good with myself. | ||
| I know you have, but when I watch your podcast, I'm like, this dude has a fucking hilarious podcast. | ||
| Me and Tom talked about it on the phone. | ||
| I called him up. | ||
| I go, dude, Danny Brown kills me. | ||
| I go, I watch that show all the time. | ||
| He goes, you're so good. | ||
| And I go, isn't it amazing that someone could just jump into podcasting? | ||
| But now I get it, because you were always a fan of listening to podcasts. | ||
| So you were kind of talking. | ||
| You were kind of having those conversations in your head. | ||
| No, and you want to hear some other real shit, too? | ||
| My entire musical career, it wouldn't have been what it was if I didn't do interviews. | ||
| How's that? | ||
| My music is one thing. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| But when you meet me and talk to me, people like that more than they like my music. | ||
| I see what you're saying. | ||
| So like your personality goes along. | ||
| And it sells the music. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then once you like me, then you're like, oh, I like his music a little bit. | |
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So I think that's what it is. | ||
| That's the same for comics with podcasts. | ||
| Oh yeah, definitely. | ||
| I see a lot of hated comics that get a lot of views and doing good for themselves. | ||
| Like Hate Watch. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, man. | ||
| There's a lot of recreational outrage. | ||
| But I think for the most part, if you get better and you keep doing it... | ||
| I like the way he dresses. | ||
| I think he dresses good. | ||
| Listen, I'm wearing a hoodie. | ||
| I dress terrible. | ||
| But we did get dressed up. | ||
| I did a show with Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Simpson. | ||
| And Hans Kim at the MGM. Those are all my homies. | ||
| Those are all my homies. | ||
| We got David August to design suits for us. | ||
| So they were custom-made suits. | ||
| You want to see this shit? | ||
| Look at this picture. | ||
| I'm going to show you some. | ||
| No, yeah, show me some shit. | ||
| No, I did some. | ||
| Listen, I'm not always gross. | ||
| No, I never thought about that! | ||
| I don't mean it that way. | ||
| But I mean, most of the time, I just don't give a fuck about what I'm wearing. | ||
| I wear what I like to wear. | ||
| What looks comfortable for me. | ||
| Let me tell you like this. | ||
| I like this shirt. | ||
| If you was to hop on some fashion shit and show up with a crazy fucking Gucci shirt on or something like that, I would judge you way more than anything else. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| Then you're trying hard. | ||
| You know, the thing is, with me, it's fashion is about us being, I mean, we won't be in race in urban communities, but, you know, they say, like, black people, when you broke, you don't gotta like that. | ||
| So you just want to kind of look like you gotta like that. | ||
| No, I completely get it. | ||
| That's with Italians as well. | ||
| It's very similar with my family. | ||
| So that's all it is. | ||
| In my whole fashion, bro, fashion fucked up my school. | ||
| I fucked up my life. | ||
| How? | ||
| Because I would skip school all the time just to go buy clothes. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Hudson's. | ||
| Oh, see, it's not called Hudson's anymore. | ||
| Oh, Hudson's to what people would be, it would be Macy's. | ||
| So Macy's had a clearance sale. | ||
| The clearance sale was happening on Tuesday. | ||
| All me and my fashion buddies, we know, on Tuesday. | ||
| Macy's having a clearance sale. | ||
| We show up in front of the school like gangbanging, like we about to go do some ill shit. | ||
| But no, we literally just trying to go buy a $40 polo. | ||
| None of us have money like that. | ||
| We are high school kids. | ||
| The most somebody probably have on them is $300 at the most. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| But you can go Armani Exchange. | ||
| I remember I caught an Armani Exchange t-shirt for like $25. | ||
| But when I looked on the tag, it was like $125. | ||
| It's like, ugh. | ||
| Shit like that was like going back home. | ||
| I'm about to wear this tomorrow. | ||
| I'm about to kill shit. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No one gave a fuck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha, ha, ha, ha. | |
| No one gave a fuck, but it's just... | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| But even... | ||
| So the clothes represented something to you that was, like, unattainable. | ||
| Represented cool shit that was... | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Even now, to this day, like, me doing a podcast, I still bring something from school. | ||
| Like, if niggas want to watch the podcast, I haven't worn the same shirt twice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| No. | ||
| So you thought... | ||
| So I'm buying shirts every week. | ||
| Like, oh, fuck. | ||
| Tell everybody, like, you thought the podcast was going to be tomorrow, and you had some shit prepared. | ||
| Oh, no, I had an ill-ass... | ||
| Oh, I got this ill-ass fucking... | ||
| Part two, I'm glad I didn't, because I feel like people would have seen that. | ||
| Like, this nigga trying too hard. | ||
| No, part two, so I think God did it for a reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| Because I probably shouldn't have been on here like that, because I did. | ||
| What were you going to wear? | ||
| No, I got this leather jacket, a new leather jacket. | ||
| It got spikes and shit on them. | ||
| Will you please wear it the next time you come on? | ||
| Oh, I'm coming back. | ||
| Fuck yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You heard him say it. | |
| 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm back, I'm back. | |
| Fuck yeah, 100%. | ||
| But no, no, but I'm glad it happened like this, because I actually was kind of stressed out about it. | ||
| I do seriously enjoy people that dress nice. | ||
| For me, it's like I enjoy flowers, but I'm not planting any. | ||
| My dressing nice, I don't think you would consider it to be dressed nice. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Let me see. | ||
| That's us. | ||
| Come on, son. | ||
| We look good. | ||
| Look at Hans Kim. | ||
| Look at Hans Kim. | ||
| Young Jamie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
With the fucking sunglasses at night. | |
| That's how high we were. | ||
| What was this? | ||
| That was at the MGM in Vegas. | ||
| We all did the MGM arena. | ||
| Oh, Vegas. | ||
| I have so many bad memories of Vegas. | ||
| I never leave my hotel in Vegas. | ||
| Really? | ||
| No, every time I've been in Vegas, I've just been there and I just do what I got going on. | ||
| You gamble? | ||
| Do you gamble at all? | ||
| No, I don't gamble. | ||
| But I do gamble to lose money. | ||
| You want to lose money? | ||
| No. | ||
| That's the way I gamble. | ||
| Oh, you gamble wild. | ||
| Yeah, with no intentions of winning. | ||
| So let's just say, like, if I go to Vegas, I'll be like, alright, I'm gonna get a thousand out. | ||
| And I just wild out with a little thousand dollars. | ||
| Once I lose my thousand dollars, that's a wrap. | ||
| I ain't doing nothing else. | ||
| I played blackjack with my wife. | ||
| We were in town for something, and we played blackjack for like an hour. | ||
| And I said, alright, I have like 400 bucks on me. | ||
| I go, let's just try that. | ||
| It was gone in like a half an hour. | ||
| I'm not even aggressively betting. | ||
| I'm just terrible. | ||
| I don't have any desire, you know? | ||
| No, that's the whole thing with me. | ||
| Last time I was in Vegas, I'm like, alright, it's time for me to go. | ||
| So I'm like, fuck it, let me just throw a little dollar in. | ||
| It's time for the go. | ||
| I'm gonna fucking hit it. | ||
| Oh no, then you're hooked. | ||
| You see what Drake's been doing? | ||
| Look, so listen, this is the fucked up part of me. | ||
| I get it all, I run it on a roulette table. | ||
| I run it all the way up to like 10 racks. | ||
| I put 10 racks on one number. | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I started with 100. So my whole shit was like, you know, whatever. | ||
| So I put the 10 racks on the whole... | ||
| Obviously I lose. | ||
| They count on that. | ||
| That's the whole game. | ||
| So obviously I lose. | ||
| I lose to Tim Rex. | ||
| I'm so pissed. | ||
| So I just leave. | ||
| I'm just so pissed. | ||
| Just leave out. | ||
| But I left my wallet, my phone. | ||
| I'm over here at the airport now. | ||
| Time to board my flight. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| I don't got shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now I gotta go all the way back to the casino. | |
| I get back and guess what? | ||
| My shit's sitting on the table. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right there. | |
| No one ever even touched it. | ||
| No one ever even came to this fucking table. | ||
| So I get that. | ||
| That's lucky. | ||
| What you think I'd do? | ||
| What did God do? | ||
| What did I do? | ||
| What did you do? | ||
| I was looking for revenge. | ||
| You went back in. | ||
| I said fuck the flight. | ||
| Fuck the flight. | ||
| And went to the ATM, grabbed some cash out. | ||
| How much did you wind up down? | ||
| Oh, $5,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| You know many stories Vegas has like that? | ||
| No, and that was... | ||
| How you do this? | ||
| And that was broke for me. | ||
| That ain't no real money. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Put it to the top. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| But yeah. | ||
| You got me. | ||
| They got you. | ||
| They'll get you. | ||
| The only thing that I like to bet on is fights. | ||
| The other side. | ||
| Flip it to the other side. | ||
| And then pull that thing down. | ||
| That black thing. | ||
| And if you put the one that's on the top. | ||
| The little switch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But just pull that down. | ||
| Pull it down. | ||
| There you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, shit. | |
| Yeah, I mean, that's the reason why they're so big. | ||
| They're not big because they lose money. | ||
| These fucking giant places run out of juice. | ||
| Yeah, I'll fill that thing up. | ||
| My bad. | ||
| I've met too many people that were gambling addicts. | ||
| I used to play a lot of pool. | ||
| I was always around these dudes that were hardcore gambling addicts. | ||
| They would gamble on pool. | ||
| They would gamble on playing poker. | ||
| They would all do off-track betting. | ||
| Because in New York, you could gamble on horse racing and shit. | ||
| Carriage racing. | ||
| You could gamble on so many different things. | ||
| So the pool hall was where all the gambling junkies hung out. | ||
| Gambling scares the shit out of me. | ||
| Only thing I ever gambled. | ||
| We just shoot dice. | ||
| To what? | ||
| Shoot dice. | ||
| Oh, shoot dice? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, in the bathroom. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gambling's exciting. | ||
| But it should be fucking legal. | ||
| The idea that it's not legal in some places to me is so stupid. | ||
| I mean, sports gambling is one of the things that's... | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because even... | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Sports gambling is fun. | ||
| I hate to say it, man, but... | ||
| The Adesanya fight, I knew he was going to lose. | ||
| How could you say that? | ||
| He almost won. | ||
| Just his eyes. | ||
| He was three rounds down. | ||
| I ain't going to lie. | ||
| Or three rounds up, rather. | ||
| Just his eyes. | ||
| His eyes. | ||
| Something about when he was talking. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| And I swear, this is me. | ||
| His eyes, this is what his eyes were. | ||
| No, this is me. | ||
| And I bet on a lot of fights and I win a lot. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| But I would say I bet against him on the Cannoneer fight, so I was... | ||
| Well, that's a risky fight, too. | ||
| Yeah, that was a little... | ||
| But I thought I was trying to come up. | ||
| I was trying to come up. | ||
| But this fight, I just kind of felt... | ||
| I felt sorry for him, kind of. | ||
| Like, I knew it. | ||
| Like, just his eyes, the way he looked. | ||
| Something about the way he looked and the way... | ||
| Even when he walked out. | ||
| Just something in his face to me. | ||
| I was like, man, this nigga about to lose. | ||
| And I wanted to call all my homies and be like, man, bet, bet, bet against... | ||
| But I didn't want to lose people money, so I just kept my shit to myself and I was like... | ||
| But I honestly felt to myself like, this nigga about to lose. | ||
| This is what you're seeing. | ||
| You're not seeing that he's thinking he's going to lose or that he's scared to lose. | ||
| What you're seeing is the magnitude of the guy he's about to fight. | ||
| And that's... | ||
| You can't change that. | ||
| It doesn't change how a man performs once he's under duress and stress, but you can't ignore the magnitude. | ||
| And if you ever go back and watch Mike Tyson fights, this is where you see it the best. | ||
| When dudes were walking into that ring to fight Mike Tyson, they looked like they were being executed. | ||
| They were going to their death. | ||
| They were getting arrested. | ||
| They were getting processed. | ||
| They had this look in their face like, fuck. | ||
| Are you saying Israel ain't had that look on his face, do you? | ||
| Israel definitely did not have that look on his face. | ||
| What he had a look on his face is an understanding of what that fucking guy can do. | ||
| Of what could happen. | ||
| That guy, Alex Paheta. | ||
| But I've never seen that from him. | ||
| I've never seen it. | ||
| Because that guy's already knocked him out. | ||
| That guy knocked him out. | ||
| Bro, that guy's a fucking destroyer. | ||
| You gotta understand, like, people are looking at him beating Izzy, right? | ||
| But you don't understand, nobody even touches Izzy. | ||
| Nobody touches him. | ||
| And Pejeta just put him away. | ||
| Izzy fights Jan Bohovich, who's the light heavyweight champ. | ||
| No, even him beating Romero. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then him beating Costa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Paulo Costa fight, Paulo Costa is a fucking marauder. | ||
| That nigga don't even need to fight. | ||
| So jacked. | ||
| He just started OnlyFans. | ||
| So good looking. | ||
| Just started OnlyFans. | ||
| But that fucking dude just marches people down and smashes them. | ||
| He marched down Yoel Romero and he didn't even touch Izzy. | ||
| He didn't even touch him. | ||
| But that's how good Paheta is. | ||
| He's that good. | ||
| No, I'm definitely terrified. | ||
| See, that's one thing. | ||
| That's what I was saying. | ||
| Me just fucking with the Muay Thai class and shit. | ||
| Dude, I was trying to warn people. | ||
| Because a lot of times, I get drunk. | ||
| I talk shit. | ||
| Of course you do. | ||
| I talk shit to people. | ||
| Now, imagine talking shit to a guy like Paheta. | ||
| But no, even that. | ||
| Imagine talking shit to a fucking nurse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fucking secretary that's been taking Muay Thai for three years. | |
| You don't even know this bitch do anything. | ||
| And that's what I seen. | ||
| They actually had a stamp fair tag. | ||
| She actually did a session, I mean, a thing at our gym. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| And just even seeing her and how small she is and that, like, bro. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bro, I'm good. | ||
| I'm good. | ||
| So, I mean, it humbled me. | ||
| I will say that. | ||
| Well, it's just a little bit of a reality check. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The thing is, we live in Texas. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| All these niggas got guns. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Everybody got guns. | ||
| So it's like, what is... | ||
| You can't even... | ||
| Listen, no one is ever saying that martial arts are better than having a gun. | ||
| No one's ever saying that. | ||
| What I'm saying is, just for your own head... | ||
| Yeah, just... | ||
| Just for your own head, it's good to know how to fight. | ||
| So if someone gets crazy with you... | ||
| You just go, okay. | ||
| Last time I was in the gym, they was like, well, you know, we was talking about that kind of conversation. | ||
| I was like, man, I can't fight nobody. | ||
| They're going to sue me. | ||
| You don't want to fight somebody. | ||
| But what I'm saying is, what if somebody wants to fight you? | ||
| That's why you got guns. | ||
| Yeah, but if you don't get to the gun, it's just a good thing. | ||
| I'm going to have it on me. | ||
| I believe you. | ||
| And especially since we're here and you can have it. | ||
| It's a good thing to know. | ||
| So it makes sense just to have a gun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Especially as a black man in America. | ||
| Do you believe that a well-armed society is a polite society? | ||
| No. | ||
| No? | ||
| Not at all? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Because just me being able to travel and like going to like Europe and shit like that where guns aren't a thing and I see how well-behaved people act because of that simple notion. | ||
| Like right now, like what I talked about, like going to Muay Thai, how much that humbled me and being at... | ||
| But at the end of the day, I should never have that feeling anyway. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No one should have that feeling. | ||
| But the only reason why I have that feeling is because I know guns exist. | ||
| And if I have a gun on me, you can't say shit. | ||
| I don't give a fuck how much of you. | ||
| I'll shoot you, bitch. | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But now, in over those countries, it's all about brute strength. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's knives. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| The knives thing. | ||
| You gotta be rich to have a gun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we over here, we got motherfucking niggas over here making 3D printeds. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I can get a 3D printer heater right now. | ||
| They're making ghost guns. | ||
| Shoot, same way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it makes sense. | ||
| They can 3D print everything now. | ||
| They make fake Rolexes. | ||
| They make fake Rolexes that are exactly the same as a Rolex. | ||
| That's still fake. | ||
| But you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, they do that. | ||
| There's like a whole market. | ||
| They can make a gun easier. | ||
| It's right because of anything, but a replica of a gun still kill you. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| A replica of a Rolex. | ||
| No, it's a real gun. | ||
| It's a real gun. | ||
| And they can 3D print them. | ||
| Wasn't there a guy that, like, invented this shit a long time ago? | ||
| And there was, like, some big controversy about it. | ||
| He was showing people how to 3D print guns, like, on YouTube or something like that. | ||
| No, it's still going on. | ||
| I know, I know, I know, I know. | ||
| But wasn't there a guy that was, like, one of the first guys that was censored off of YouTube? | ||
| Am I misremembering this? | ||
| I may be. | ||
| I might be misremembering it. | ||
| But I remember when that shit first started happening, where they were making 3D printed guns. | ||
| And people were like, this is insane. | ||
| Like, we have to stop this. | ||
| And they're like, well, there's no law that can stop it. | ||
| And it was like, I guess it's state by state. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Go piss and come back. | ||

Danny Brown. | |
| Freshly drained. | ||
| No, yeah, I'm not bad. | ||
| No worries. | ||
| I do it all the time. | ||
| I fuck up, come in here with too much water in me. | ||
| No, that's all it was. | ||
| I've been drinking... | ||
| No, because I've been on this... | ||
| I wake up at like 5 a.m. | ||
| and I'm... | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| No, but I'm an early sleeper. | ||
| Yeah, I'm an early sleeper anyway. | ||
| So it's not like... | ||
| What happened was... | ||
| You know, motherfuckers talk about that on some workout shit. | ||
| I'm just actually one of those guys that do that. | ||
| So I'm like, man, maybe I should take advantage of that shit. | ||
| So now, I wake up at like 5. Yeah, so I do. | ||
| I wake up at 5. Because I never was like a workout person. | ||
| But now I can get so much shit done before my girl even work up. | ||
| Like, when 10 a.m. | ||
| comes, I'm like, oh my, bitch, you don't even know. | ||
| Ha ha! | ||
| I'm dead, dude. | ||
| I gotta watch the dogs and shit and go to sleep and shit. | ||
| But yeah, so now I've been just taking advantage of being able to wake up that early, you wouldn't know. | ||
| But I think that's come from stress type shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| To be honest. | ||
| Where you just don't feel good sleeping. | ||
| Um, just working on music. | ||
| I think, cause see, oh, I was just talking about, actually, you know who was just here? | ||
| Fucking Hannibal. | ||
| Hannibal was fucking here. | ||
| I was doing my fucking show. | ||
| I wish I would fucking knew he was here. | ||
| Then he just showed up. | ||
| I was like, man, you might as well come over here with us. | ||
| But he had to leave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But no, Hannibal. | |
| Oh, no. | ||
| I was just telling him that. | ||
| I feel like when, you know, y'all as comedians and shit, y'all make specials, it's like instant gratification in essence. | ||
| Because y'all could do, y'all, I mean, I know y'all worked on a special for years and years, but then y'all actually do it in front of a live audience. | ||
| Even though the audience knows it's a special. | ||
| I mean, it is what it is. | ||
| You know, y'all do the specials. | ||
| Have you thought about doing specials? | ||
| I know you're doing a little stand-up. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| Not at all? | ||
| At Kill Tony? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I mean, I go on there and I have fun and shit, but... | ||
| But didn't you do like a minute on Kill Tony? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You never did? | |
| I never did nothing, but... | ||
| You only just sat as a guest? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But now I'm starting to take it serious because all y'all motherfuckers keep telling me I'm funny. | ||
| I know what it is. | ||
| It's Tony. | ||
| Tony was telling me that he's trying to get you to do it. | ||
| No, everybody keeps telling me that I'm funny and they're like, you can do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's, I guess, is what I'm talking about. | |
| But, you know, the thing is that I'm a nerd about it, the writing aspect of it. | ||
| Good. | ||
| So, I love to write. | ||
| Even me writing songs, like, I always say this all the time. | ||
| Like, I probably, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I'm better of a writer than I'm a rapper. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Danny, you're a funny dude. | ||
| You 100% could do stand-up. | ||
| Just like the way you approach music and the way you now have approached podcasting, you could do stand-up. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| See, that's the thing about it. | ||
| Just the fact that someone like you tell me. | ||
| Someone like Tom. | ||
| Hanging with Tony. | ||
| So it's like I'd be a dickhead to not try. | ||
| You have to try. | ||
| You should do it. | ||
| The whole shit... | ||
| In the beginning was like, man, I bombed that rap for like 20 years. | ||
| Why would I want to stand on stage and try to tell jokes and bomb and go through that? | ||
| But then I actually started thinking about it and I'm like, maybe this is like a second calling in my life. | ||
| This is what I think it is. | ||
| On your show, you have hilarious stories and you've got a great way of telling them. | ||
| You have a great way of telling stories. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| No, that's the thing that I love about doing it. | ||
| I'm having fun right now. | ||
| You can translate that to stand-up. | ||
| You watch Tim Dillon? | ||
| No, I love Tim Dillon. | ||
| That's what Tim Dillon does. | ||
| He does that rant on his show. | ||
| He's the best ranter alive. | ||
| He does these rants, and then he takes chunks of those rants, and they become bits. | ||
| That's how you come up with material. | ||
| It's like, what you're doing is next-door neighbor to stand-up. | ||
| Yo, see, that's the thing too. | ||
| Because you can't always be like, see, I was always that guy. | ||
| Like, I was funnier. | ||
| Like, you can be the funniest guy at the family reunion. | ||
| But that don't translate on stage. | ||
| But Danny, you know how to be on stage. | ||
| See, you know how to be in front of the camera. | ||
| You're saying it doesn't translate on stage. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Even in front of the camera. | ||
| You're saying it doesn't translate on stage. | ||
| But that's just like your funny uncle who can't go on stage at an open mic night. | ||
| Because he's fucking nervous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's who I am! | |
| Yeah, but you're not that because you're not nervous. | ||
| You're not nervous doing your podcast and you're not nervous when you're rapping. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| So you're not nervous in front of people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But you tell stories in front of people in front of the camera and they're fucking hilarious. | ||
| You're not nervous doing that. | ||
| You're not. | ||
| It's not the same thing. | ||
| I think the only thing that I'm scared of is that I respect comedy so much and I know it's like it's almost gatekeepy. | ||
| It shouldn't be. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Do you understand what I'm saying? | ||
| But it's not really gatekeeping. | ||
| We really do let everybody in. | ||
| Let's just imagine, okay, let's say tomorrow, if I'm just super good with comedy, comedians will hate me. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| And I want to be friends with people, too. | ||
| Listen, bro, they're not going to hate you. | ||
| The ones that are going to hate you are idiots. | ||
| The idiot comedians will hate you. | ||
| This is like Royal Rumble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But if you're good, you're good, man. | |
| Being a comedian is like being in a Royal Rumble. | ||
| Who don't throw each other off the first, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Even now, with podcasting, having a beef with another comedian, like, driving you views. | ||
| So now I already see, nigga, before we know it, nigga's gonna be like... | ||
| Podcast comedian beefs gonna be like rap songs and shit. | ||
| We one step away from that. | ||
| Yeah, well that's always gonna happen with some people. | ||
| Some people just love to get mad and talk shit about people. | ||
| It's like their favorite recreation. | ||
| But that's the way they get the views and that's the way it drops shit. | ||
| But you don't have to participate in that. | ||
| No, no, no! | ||
| But what I'm saying about you... | ||
| I'm not gonna participate in that because you're gonna figure out if this Muay Thai works. | ||
| Nigga come on some podcast talking shit about Danny Brown, nigga. | ||
| I ain't coming back on no podcast talking about you. | ||
| What I'm trying to say is you have zero fears about being gatekept. | ||
| People are just going to want to see if you can do it. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| Go have fun. | ||
| People already love you from your show. | ||
| They love you from your mom's house. | ||
| They love you when you guest on Kill Tony. | ||
| You can just do it. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's where I'm at now. | ||
| Because you got to think, that's a total 360 from my rap career. | ||
| It is and it isn't, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't mean Joe Rogan. | |
| It's your creativity. | ||
| It's your creativity. | ||
| It's your mind. | ||
| My rap career is a total different world than what this is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| My rap career, I would say... | ||
| What made that bad is that I started a little too old. | ||
| So I didn't really get recognition or, you know, until I was 30 years old. | ||
| And you got to think I've been trying to do this my entire 20s. | ||
| So when I started to be a rapper and get recognition for it, I had a bitter attitude towards it. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Because it takes so long for it to happen. | ||
| That happens to a lot of people. | ||
| And then now I'm 30 years old. | ||
| It's a 30-year-old rapper. | ||
| It's like a ticking time bomb at that point. | ||
| How much time you got. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So I'm already in my head. | ||
| I will say, a lot of people say like... | ||
| Being a rapper is dangerous, like, you know, because all the killings and shit. | ||
| But I would say being a rapper is dangerous in a sense because once you do it, you can't do nothing else. | ||
| It ruins you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How so? | |
| So let's just say, okay, let's just say I was a rapper and then it failed. | ||
| Then I got to go get a normal job. | ||
| Well, if anything fails. | ||
| But I had minimal success. | ||
| You saw my video somewhere. | ||
| I had a couple of you. | ||
| Now I'm working at a job with you. | ||
| Now you're like, oh, you... | ||
| Blah, blah. | ||
| So that, everywhere you go, somebody... | ||
| That's true if you're an actor, too. | ||
| So you're always getting acknowledged for your failures. | ||
| But that's true with anybody in the public eye, man. | ||
| So just imagine, every time someone recognizes you, they're acknowledging your failure. | ||
| That hurts. | ||
| It hurts. | ||
| Of course it does. | ||
| But that's what happens in all walks of life. | ||
| Anytime when you fail and people get to shit on you and if you're a public person... | ||
| If you work fries at McDonald's, no one cares. | ||
| Don't you remember Gary Coleman? | ||
| Gary Coleman from Different Strokes? | ||
| He started working as a security guard and people would just shit on him relentlessly. | ||
| Imagine that. | ||
| Because if he was just a security guard, no one would care. | ||
| You would never walk up to a security guard and go, look at this fucking loser. | ||
| You're a security guard. | ||
| That's exactly what I'm saying. | ||
| It's the same thing with actors. | ||
| So me being Danny Brown, I can never go back to being a normal... | ||
| I can never go back to being Daniel. | ||
| Danny, you don't have to, first of all, and don't. | ||
| And don't even think about it. | ||
| Don't even think about it. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| You're never going to have to do that. | ||
| I know what you're saying, but you can't think about like worst case scenario and dwell on it like that. | ||
| You are of personality, and the personality can do anything it wants to do. | ||
| You're a fun guy. | ||
| I think about that and I love that, too. | ||
| Because you gotta think, the last album I put out was 2019. Yeah, you were saying that. | ||
| You're touring infrequently. | ||
| No, I worked on that album with Q-Tip. | ||
| Just to be able to work with Q-Tip was such a fucking big deal to me. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| It gave me confidence in my music to be in the fact that A Tribe Called Quest was my dad's favorite rap group. | ||
| I remember my dad taking me to fucking preschool. | ||
| I mean, I'm preschool. | ||
| It wasn't that early, but whatever. | ||
| But elementary school, my dad taking me to school and he listening to A Tribe Called Quest. | ||
| And before I know it, one day I'm sitting in the studio with Q-Tip every day working on an album. | ||
| So... | ||
| It was a big deal. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| It was a big deal for me. | ||
| And, you know, we made that album. | ||
| And I just think the world of music has changed so much. | ||
| Where like a 10 second TikTok beat means way more than you putting out a single. | ||
| You understand what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, that whole shit changed. | ||
| So, the way I grew up, the way I grew up, like me, my favorite rapper is Nas. | ||
| And Nas just put on a new album, and that album is fucking amazing. | ||
| And you know why that album is amazing? | ||
| It's because Nas is having fucking fun. | ||
| And Nas is able to make music without any fucking... | ||
| Well, Nas is really rich. | ||
| Like, he's got a bunch of different businesses. | ||
| It wasn't always like that, though. | ||
| No, but I'm saying, like, right now, if he's doing rap right now, it's because he wants to do it. | ||
| Yes, but it wasn't always like that. | ||
| He had the whole situation of what he went through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| With his divorces and all. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was all public. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He's the best lyricist ever, in my opinion. | ||
| His fucking shit is so complicated. | ||
| The way he does things backwards. | ||
| What's that one song where he does backwards? | ||
| Rewind. | ||
| Rewind. | ||
| That's a brilliant song. | ||
| Bro, we don't want to talk about this. | ||
| Just for a minute. | ||
| Nas is like... | ||
| And I've had the opportunity to meet Nas a lot. | ||
| I don't want to say a lot, but he knows what he means to me. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Actually, he wanted to sign me to his label. | ||
| I didn't sign to him because... | ||
| I mean, whatever. | ||
| I mean, money, man. | ||
| Money, money, man. | ||
| The other contract was more money, man. | ||
| And that's what it is. | ||
| But sometimes I think about that. | ||
| Did I make a mistake? | ||
| I'd be like, damn. | ||
| Just because the artist that I looked up to my entire life that made me be a rapper tried to sign me and I didn't sign with them. | ||
| All because of money. | ||
| And now, I'm not saying like I feel any way about being with Warp. | ||
| Like, I love Warp. | ||
| Warp is, you know, they've done... | ||
| Part 2, Warp has made me a better artist than what I actually am. | ||
| How's that? | ||
| Because, like, okay, this even, like, the album that I just, I made an album during COVID, obviously. | ||
| We were sitting around when nobody could do nothing, and I just felt like, oh, shit, I ain't. | ||
| So I just started going to the studio and just started recording songs, making music, record the album, and this is the album that we're going to release. | ||
| But the album been done for, like, three years. | ||
| Like, you know, and... | ||
| Well, what's been the holdup? | ||
| You don't know? | ||
| So it's on them? | ||
| That's what happened when you signed a record label. | ||
| Oh, Jesus. | ||
| Bro, you want to hear it? | ||
| Bro. | ||
| Alright, you want to hear it? | ||
| Alright, let me give you my rundown story. | ||
| Three years? | ||
| I might need another drink. | ||
| I think you need another drink. | ||
| I might need another drink, yeah. | ||
| Alright, so check this out. | ||
| Denny Brown. | ||
| Being a regular rapper from Detroit, whatever the fuck. | ||
| Alright, whatever. | ||
| Cheers, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| I'm not even going to go into Tony Ayo and G on that all weird shit just to get to the point of... | ||
| So, I remember being... | ||
| It's a festival in New York at the time. | ||
| It was called CMJ Festival, which was like cool. | ||
| It was like, you know, same thing as South by Southwest where it is in Texas. | ||
| That's what it was for New York. | ||
| They had this festival, CMJ Festival. | ||
| And at one of these shows, they had at Brooklyn Bowl, Fools Go Records, Through a show. | ||
| And Kanye showed up. | ||
| And it shut the whole shit down. | ||
| And I couldn't go. | ||
| I couldn't get in. | ||
| And to me, I was like, man, Fools Go Records, like, man, they like the hellest shit. | ||
| Like, if I could ever be cool with Fools Go Records, like, whatever I can do to be down with Fools Go Records, I would do. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Type of shit. | ||
| So then, shit goes on years later. | ||
| I ended up getting a situation. | ||
| I started talking to Fuzgo. | ||
| And I don't think they were really into signing me at the time. | ||
| But Q-Tip from a tribe called Quest was real close with A-Track, who's one of the owners of Fuzgo. | ||
| And they hung out. | ||
| And A-Track was like, man, we thinking about signing Denny Brown. | ||
| And Q-Tip was like, nigga thinking? | ||
| Are you retarded? | ||
| He broke it down to him like, what makes me so ill? | ||
| That has to be nice. | ||
| No, I'm literally super ill. | ||
| When it comes to rap, it's like cheating. | ||
| I'm like steroid. | ||
| It's super ill. | ||
| I can cheat. | ||
| It's super ill. | ||
| So then he was like, fuck it. | ||
| Yeah, I'm going to sign it because... | ||
| So then I already knew I was going to get signed to Fools Goal. | ||
| We already had this to each other. | ||
| So it was no negotiation on what the shit was. | ||
| So I was going to interviews already. | ||
| Like, I would do an interview and they'd be like, what's going to happen? | ||
| And I'd be like, oh, I'm signing to Fools Goal. | ||
| So, boom! | ||
| To say that, we signed a contract. | ||
| I signed for $5,000. | ||
| Literally, $5,000. | ||
| And it was South by Southwest happening the next week. | ||
| And I had like two shows. | ||
| So I literally spent the entire signing bonus at South by Southwest the next week. | ||
| So I had no money. | ||
| Super broke. | ||
| Whatever the fuck. | ||
| I'm living off my girl. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, her banking on me, making it as a rapper. | ||
| Kind of situation. | ||
| You hear what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We do whatever we do. | ||
| We get that. | ||
| But then the album comes out. | ||
| And at the time, no one really thought about the album. | ||
| I would think no one. | ||
| I did. | ||
| But at that time, no one thought that the album would be like a big deal. | ||
| Ended up, the album would come out at one fucking album of the year in Spin Magazine. | ||
| It ended up being one of the best albums I ever had in my career. | ||
| But when you think about it, it's like a person back against the wall. | ||
| When you listen to the album, I'm back against the wall. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the whole concept of the album is... | ||
| You know, rap music is all about being young. | ||
| 20-year-olds. | ||
| The album is called 30. This is an album about a 30-year-old rapper just now starting to get a break and how he feels. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| The album did good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It did good. | |
| Congratulations. | ||
| It did good. | ||
| It did good. | ||
| I'm saying not like sales wise or anything like that, but culturally, it did good. | ||
| It got recognition. | ||
| So I was able to get a lot of shit from that. | ||
| And, you know, I got a lot of deals and signed a lot of shit. | ||
| And then my next album after that was old. | ||
| It's called... | ||
| But that charted Billboard. | ||
| But it was a lot of money. | ||
| Like, I spent... | ||
| Like, it was a lot of money spent in that. | ||
| I say that to say this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| As me, as a kid from Detroit, got good at rap. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I know how to rap. | ||
| A record label signs me. | ||
| I rap for this record label. | ||
| Make an album. | ||
| In my head, when you start to make music, you want to be as experimental and to be you as much as point. | ||
| You don't understand it's the thing called music business. | ||
| So you're not thinking about business. | ||
| You're just thinking about art. | ||
| I'm just trying to make the best. | ||
| Me, Illmatic was the greatest album I've ever heard in my life. | ||
| So to me, it's like Illmatic and the other one is Cannibal Ox, Colvain. | ||
| Like, so, to me, it's like, I'm trying to make albums to mirror those. | ||
| I'm just trying to, like, as me as a rapper or as an artist or a musician, just trying to, like, shit that I was influenced by, like, try to make a piece of art that could stand next to that. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But at this point in life, that shit don't matter no more. | ||
| Because there's too much money to be made behind this shit. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| So, I didn't care about this shit. | ||
| And then now... | ||
| So, do you think that by trying to make something that stands next to that, somehow or another you'll lose money? | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| How come? | ||
| Because time changed. | ||
| Time changes how? | ||
| The shit that we liked in 1994, we don't like it in 2004. I still do. | ||
| Yeah, we do, but we gotta think about the kids. | ||
| Dude, I still listen to Cool G rap. | ||
| Have you listened to Playboy Cardi? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See? | |
| Well, I don't listen to anything. | ||
| Playboy Cardi... | ||
| I can't know everything. | ||
| I don't have enough time. | ||
| Bro, Playboy Cardi can shut down this whole shit. | ||
| I'm being honest with you. | ||
| Can we play some of it? | ||
| Can we play some of it? | ||
| We can play some of it, right? | ||
| You probably... | ||
| What? | ||
| Which... | ||
| No. | ||
| No? | ||
| No? | ||
| No. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Just some... | ||
| See, look, I'm going to be a hater now by saying no. | ||
| But no. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| We're not going to play no Playboy. | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cuz, this is my Joe Rogan interview! | |
| Okay. | ||
| Let him know about the fucking game. | ||
| It's not gonna hurt you if he gets a little love. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| You just gave him some. | ||
| Playboy Cardi does not mean no love. | ||
| I'll tell you. | ||
| We'll play that. | ||
| We'll play a little of that just to educate me and educate the people that are listening. | ||
| And then we'll play Give Me a Danny Brown track. | ||
| Give me a Danny Brown track that you love. | ||
| I definitely don't want to hear you after this. | ||
| Play Playboy Cardi. | ||
| Stop breathing. | ||
| Bro, you don't get it. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| Help me out. | ||
| My music is like stand-up comedy in that sense. | ||
| Oh, you want to hear some of my stand-up comedy rap? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We'll do that. | ||
| We'll do that. | ||
| We don't have to... | ||
| Bitch, only thing you got to know, my dick touched the ground when I'm Satan, I'm in the flow. | ||
| See, that's the thing about rap. | ||
| Like, you know me, I was into comedy and so I took my whole shit from comedy to where I were raps. | ||
| So what I would do, I would just sit around and write punchlines all the time. | ||
| So I write punchlines. | ||
| So think about this. | ||
| Look, I'm about to give y'all niggas the game. | ||
| So it's 16 bars of verse. | ||
| It's four lines for a verse. | ||
| So let's just say if I sit around, I listen to a Joe Rogan episode, someone says an ill punchline on there. | ||
| Uncle Joey, he might say some crazy shit. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just some crazy shit. | |
| A line. | ||
| Just one line. | ||
| I can take that one line. | ||
| It's 16 bars. | ||
| So one line could create four bars. | ||
| So every line I get four bars. | ||
| So I need four lines to give me a 16. Mmm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No. | ||

unidentified
|
How was it? | |
| It's the best I've ever had in my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you talking about? | |
| I've never done it. | ||
| Dude, I avoid coke. | ||
| That's sad. | ||
| It's not sad. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Maybe it is sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| But it's not sad to me because I've avoided it successfully. | ||
| I mean, you can have done everything you've done already and still experience that. | ||
| When I was in high school, I had a very good friend and his cousin sold coke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I get it. | |
| His cousin sold coke and his cousin like wrecked his life with coke. | ||
| I watched this dude become a vampire. | ||
| I get it, but you could have did it and still be who you are right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| Nothing? | ||
| Maybe? | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| You gonna get lit and jump with the coke? | ||
| I don't know if drugs that make you more confident are good for me. | ||
| I like drugs that make you less confident. | ||
| That might be some shit. | ||
| I like drugs that make you feel vulnerable. | ||
| That might be some shit because that's all I like. | ||
| I like drugs that make you feel vulnerable and give you more of a sense of community. | ||
| With the DMT and the mushrooms. | ||
| I like mushrooms and I really like marijuana. | ||
| Even that, I did so many mushrooms. | ||
| Alright, even this, okay. | ||
| But you know what I'm saying about drugs that make you confident? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I did... | |
| So I did the whole podcast, whatever. | ||
| Hit me up about the mushrooms and like whatever. | ||
| So I bought a quarter pound of mushrooms. | ||
| Jesus, don't tell the people out. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| I did in like a month. | ||
| That's a good amount of time. | ||
| It probably changed a lot at the end of that month. | ||
| It made me worse. | ||
| Worse? | ||
| How so? | ||
| Because... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Me taking the mushrooms, I mean, I did a lot. | ||
| How did it make you worse? | ||
| Because I was clean at that time. | ||
| Everybody talk about how mushrooms could keep you from drinking. | ||
| When I started doing mushrooms, for some reason it made me tell me that drinking wasn't bad. | ||
| You can drink. | ||
| You can handle it. | ||
| Then I start by drinking. | ||
| Then I start by drinking. | ||
| Then they say, I know. | ||
| I'm doing coke again. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So I blame it all on the mushrooms. | ||
| Because I was clean as fuck before I started doing the mushrooms. | ||
| For how long? | ||
| Months. | ||
| Like two months. | ||
| All I'm gonna say is two months is my limit. | ||
| After eight weeks then, it's fucked up. | ||
| There's a thing that does happen when you do mushrooms. | ||
| It alleviates some of your anxiety. | ||
| And maybe some people have some anxiety about addictions. | ||
| Like maybe they're not over it and they still have anxiety about it. | ||
| And mushrooms alleviate that anxiety sometimes. | ||
| But what is an addiction, man? | ||
| Like what would make you want to drink or make you want to... | ||
| It's a weird thing that goes on in a person's mind. | ||
| No, and addiction to me, and I can say that for mine, I don't know how many people... | ||
| Addiction for me is an escape. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've been through so much in my life, and even this and that, like even now, like my fucking aunt passed, and it is what it is, like man... | ||
| I would say, man, like, that's what I try to tell you about me and my music career. | ||
| Because it's like, my family, they look at me like I'm the richest motherfucker in the world. | ||
| And if I can tell them that, no. | ||
| Have you ever heard a Danny Brown song on the radio? | ||
| Have you ever seen a... | ||
| No! | ||
| But to them, you gotta think. | ||
| Detroit. | ||
| Just the fact that I've made it into music and I'm someone... | ||
| This and that. | ||
| And I don't. | ||
| I don't have it. | ||
| I can be the first person to take it. | ||
| Music put me more into debt than if I didn't do it. | ||
| Do you get what I'm saying? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, so, my first album that I had, well, I'm not saying my first album, but with Triple X. With Triple X, they're good, and they gave all these people, boom, boom, these artists, they're good. | ||
| And then I did Old, Old did good, did that, boom, boom, boom. | ||
| It charted Billboard, boom, boom, boom. | ||
| So, now I was a free agent at that point. | ||
| So now I have these record labels, all of them courting me, boom, boom. | ||
| I was signed to Warp. | ||
| Warp gives me a fucking damn near quarter million dollar fucking budget to make an album. | ||
| What do you think I did? | ||
| Spent it all? | ||
| Spent every land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nigga, before you know it, I was asking for more money! | |
| So I went crazy, made a fucking quarter million... | ||
| Whatever the fuck. | ||
| Spent all the money I could possibly spend on this fucking album to make the best part of the album that I make. | ||
| And... | ||
| Now that the album has been made, I don't feel bad about it. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| When you get a spare time to yourself, Joe Rogan. | ||
| Fuck yeah. | ||
| Atrocity Exhibition. | ||

| He shot that video for the second single, Ain't It Funny. | ||
| I talk about that all the time. | ||
| Even that. | ||
| Even shooting that video was such a fucking crazy situation. | ||
| So was Jonah Hill like the director of it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| That's amazing. | ||
| Nigga, he was the budgeter! | ||
| No one wanted to shoot- Can we play it? | ||

| So with being... | ||
| A musician. | ||
| No, being a rapper. | ||
| Well, it's not just that. | ||
| It's like all the visuals. | ||
| I mean, it's very disturbing and very crazy and very funny. | ||
| But being artistically, but that's artistic freedom. | ||
| But you don't get props like that no more for that kind of shit. | ||
| You're gonna. | ||
| Trust me, it's really good. | ||
| When I'm dead? | ||

| Alright, well tell them. | ||
| Let me know what happens after this one. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| So would you know? | ||
| Would you know in terms of streamings and downloads? | ||
| No, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I definitely, because I'm super on it. | ||
| But no, the thing is about it is that... | ||
| I just don't judge it like that. | ||
| I look at it like what I've done good. | ||
| So what you think, like, that's good. | ||
| I like that one. | ||
| No, that was amazing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, I'm super proud of that. | ||
| Good, beautiful. | ||
| So now it's what I'm doing next. | ||

| It's so good. | ||
| When does it come out? | ||
| I listen to the album every... | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Hopefully this Joe Rogan episode makes it happen faster. | ||
| Why have they been holding on to it? | ||
| What's the holdup? | ||
| There's no discussion? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You haven't gotten any response? | ||
| Have you had a conversation about it? | ||
| See how it happens? | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it possible to be independent now as a rapper? | |
| You know what it made me feel like? | ||
| It made me feel like... | ||
| Maybe they're not happy with the album. | ||
| So I should make more songs. | ||
| So I've been making songs and constantly making songs for like the past two, three years. | ||
| And now I get the actual final track listing of what the album is going to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's, bro, it's nothing. | |
| I've been wasting my time making those new songs. | ||
| And it's new songs that I love, that I want to, you know, to be out on this. | ||
| But it is what it is. | ||
| But when I do listen to the album that they picked, I realize why they are a record company. | ||
| And this is their job. | ||
| And you think they did a good job. | ||
| Oh, amazing job. | ||
| Well, that's beautiful. | ||
| Sometimes you need an editor, right? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Yeah, you need someone else to look at it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Because I'm not about to even talk shit about them and be bad about it because they do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hey, we Apex Twins, man. | ||
| Apex, bro. | ||
| Yeah, everybody needs an editor. | ||
| The thing about comedy is it's beautiful because the audience is your editor. | ||
| Fuck music, man. | ||
| I'm trying to be with y'all niggas, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For real. | |
| Well, listen, Daddy, you're already doing it. | ||
| All I need is a tight five. | ||
| You're doing your podcast. | ||
| I need a tight five minutes. | ||
| You could do five minutes easy. | ||
| You want to do five minutes tonight? | ||
| You got something for me? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm at the creek in the cave. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You think I'm joking? | ||
| No, I don't think you're joking. | ||
| No, I'm not joking either. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| Don't play me, bro. | ||
| Danny, look at me. | ||
| Don't look like I'm joking. | ||
| I mean, this will be testing me to make me do it. | ||
| Yeah, let's do it. | ||
| Five minutes. | ||
| Not hard at all, man. | ||
| You'll kill. | ||
| We'll talk about it afterwards. | ||
| If you got some ideas, you want to bounce around. | ||
| 100% you should do it. | ||
| I don't even matter if I bomb. | ||
| Bombing don't even matter. | ||
| You're not going to bomb. | ||
| You're funny. | ||
| You're a funny dude, man. | ||
| It's a matter of finding out how to do that on stage, and I don't think it's a long journey for you. | ||
| I think for some people it's a long fucking journey. | ||
| There's some people that are like quiet, introspective. | ||
| You know, I think the only thing that would probably make it shorter because I've been rapping and performing on stage for years. | ||
| You've been rapping, you've been performing on stage, and you've also been doing a podcast where you're funny. | ||
| That fucking podcast is hilarious. | ||
| You going to Creek and Crave tonight? | ||
| Tonight. | ||
| I'm pulling up. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Let's go, Danny Brown! | ||
| If you're going to press me like that, I will. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| You're going to do it tonight. | ||
| Five minutes? | ||
| Yeah, five minutes. | ||
| You're going to have fun. | ||
| It's going to be beautiful. | ||
| I'll put you in a good spot. | ||
| I'm just going to think of what... | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, what time is it? | |
| No, for real. | ||
| Yeah, we're good, dude. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| It's 3.13 now. | ||
| The show tonight is at 8 o'clock. | ||
| I want to try it. | ||
| You should try it. | ||
| You know, it's a thing that you do, you get your feet wet, and then you're going to want to be really good at it. | ||
| I've done it. | ||
| You're going to get obsessed at it. | ||
| I already did it. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| I know how to talk on stage, and I just don't have a routine. | ||
| Yeah, well, like I said, five minutes is not that long. | ||
| It just needs one subject. | ||
| Yeah, but if I can get my five minutes. | ||
| You can get your five minutes. | ||
| You can do it. | ||
| I'm coming tonight. | ||
| You're all serious now. | ||
| Look at you. | ||
| This shit is serious to me, bro. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Serious funny business. | ||
| Alright, even you. | ||
| I did my rap shit. | ||
| Just being a rapper. | ||
| And so much. | ||
| And being a rapper. | ||
| But I remember there was a time when being a rapper and your teacher asked you what you want to be when you grow up and I would say being a rapper and everybody would laugh at me and then so it got to the point where I'd be like, I didn't say a rapper no more, I said a comedian. | ||
| I'm like, I want to be a comedian. | ||
| You know what you are, Danny? | ||
| You're Danny Brown. | ||
| It doesn't mean shit what label they put on what you do. | ||
| You could do anything you want. | ||
| You could do music. | ||
| You could write a fucking book. | ||
| You could do podcasts. | ||
| No, that's actually what I'm doing. | ||
| Thank you for saying that. | ||
| So I'm working on a book right now. | ||
| I wish I could say... | ||
| You don't have to say it, but you're professionally Danny Brown. | ||
| That's what you are. | ||
| That's what I do. | ||
| That's my job. | ||
| I'm professionally Joe Rogan. | ||
| That's why I have all these different jobs. | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| You could do that too. | ||
| So just shut the fuck up and let it rock. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Be Danny Brown! | |
| Don't worry about labels. | ||
| Fuck all those labels. | ||
| Let all those other idiots sort that shit out. | ||
| He's a rapper, but now he's a comedian? | ||
| Get the fuck out of here! | ||
| You wanna hear some real shit about that, though? | ||
| That was another thing about that, though. | ||
| Where me being in that, and I feel like a lot of comedians, they didn't fuck with that shit. | ||
| Comedians? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm telling you, they're not good. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| The ones that are good don't think like that. | ||
| I just told these niggas, bro, to me in my head, comedians, everything with that shit is Royal Rumble. | ||
| It's Royal Rumble. | ||
| It is a little Royal Rumble. | ||
| But it doesn't have to be. | ||
| The guys at the top level. | ||
| And especially if you're not in that mix, a person like me. | ||
| So me, a rapper, they don't want to help me or do anything. | ||
| Everybody hates me. | ||
| But comedians don't. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| Yeah, we don't do that. | ||
| We help each other. | ||
| No, I'm saying I got my friends. | ||
| I got Tony, David. | ||
| Tom, yeah. | ||
| You know Tom. | ||
| I mean, that's my... | ||
| I work for them niggas, so I don't even look at them as friends no more. | ||
| You gotta look at them as friends. | ||
| He loves you. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| That's my big homie. | ||
| I tell you when I called him up and I told him how much I like your show, he's like, he's so funny. | ||
| I'm like, dude, it's such a surprise show. | ||
| Like, I enjoy your show a lot. | ||
| It makes me laugh. | ||
| Do you want to hear the shit about my show? | ||
| That's the thing that I want to keep it. | ||
| I don't want to get it to the point where I feel like it's overproduced. | ||
| Well, you don't have to. | ||
| This isn't overproduced. | ||
| There's one guy in here. | ||
| And all he does is press buttons and pull shit up and give his opinions. | ||
| I guess you are right. | ||
| But in our heads, in our world, in our world of outside looking in, we look at this shit as like the biggest produced podcast. | ||
| Yeah, but it's not. | ||
| Get the biggest skeleton crew. | ||
| I go to places like fucking 10 dudes behind a glass wall, fake laughing and pressing buttons and shit. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| Fucking terrible. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| No, because you made it. | ||
| You said it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is literally what it is? | |
| Yeah, this is it. | ||
| But this is what it's supposed to be. | ||
| But that's what I was telling you about. | ||
| You could do your show on FaceTime. | ||
| You could just point your fucking camera at you. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| No, no, but... | ||
| It's what you say. | ||
| It's who you are and what you say. | ||
| No, no, no, but I still owe something to time. | ||
| Oh, yeah, for sure. | ||
| No, they're amazing. | ||
| I don't want to make no moves without them. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| No, you shouldn't. | ||
| And they'll be with you 100%. | ||
| You know, so if they want to... | ||
| If I wanted to, like, do something outside of that... | ||
| What I'm saying is... | ||
| Then I would want them to still be involved in it. | ||
| If you were doing something with some, like, fucking fake podcast network, you know, like, there's... | ||
| What do you mean a fake podcast network? | ||
| I'm with the real shit, Wild Mates. | ||
| I know, you are. | ||
| You are. | ||
| Which, as I'm saying, is great. | ||
| But if you were with a... | ||
| They're like, there's some networks out there that are only... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Why do I need to be with any of that? | ||
| I'm not saying you, man. | ||
| What I'm trying to say is your situation's amazing. | ||
| But there's other people out there that get into a bad situation. | ||
| And they get locked into these companies. | ||
| And they find out these companies own 50% of their podcasts forever. | ||
| And they're like, what the fuck? | ||
| With no investment. | ||
| There was a lot of shady people that got involved in podcasting. | ||
| When podcasting started getting monetized. | ||
| I never looked at podcasts. | ||
| For like a money type of situation. | ||
| Well, the problem is other companies do. | ||
| Right now, I see that, yeah. | ||
| Some companies do. | ||
| No, now it's a lot of money involved in this shit, but I just... | ||
| Because I feel like me showing up like me right now, talking to you, I would do this for free. | ||
| I would do it for free too, but that's the beauty of doing a podcast. | ||
| So I feel bad that someone would pay. | ||
| The problem with what I'm saying about these podcast networks is they're not really providing anything. | ||
| They might be providing production, they might be providing a studio, but without content, they don't have anything. | ||
| And if they're taking half of it and you're creating the content, which can happen, that's a crazy deal. | ||
| And then they own it forever? | ||
| That's our whole tip. | ||
| It's forever. | ||
| Forever. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| And I've seen those deals before. | ||
| And I've also seen a lot of comics when they're getting signed to like agents and like kind of shitty manager types. | ||
| The manager type will try to take a percentage of the podcast too. | ||
| So they own a piece of your shit as long as you're doing it. | ||
| So that was the whole shit that I'm trying to tell you. | ||
| Like me doing what... | ||
| So doing it at your mom's house is perfect. | ||
| No, no time. | ||
| He told me like, he like, hit me up like, you got the talent to do like a podcast. | ||
| But I'm like, if I would have did it on my own, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. | ||
| You might be. | ||
| But the point is, you haven't. | ||
| You did it with them, which is perfect, because they'll support you 100%. | ||
| I moved to Austin, Texas. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I see. | ||

| Only thing, I have a bad feeling of jiu-jitsu. | ||
| Bad? | ||

| And I used to go on tours for like months. | ||
| It'd be months. | ||
| And I had like an ill-ass, big-ass house in Michigan and shit. | ||

| Like, she be in this house. | ||
| She be by herself. | ||

| See what that is. | ||
| See, her and the other bitch that finessed the shit on the college tuitions. | ||
| Oh, she wasn't involved in that. | ||

| But what was the other bitch? | ||

| He knows what guys like. | ||
| Do you think? | ||
| That's what I saw. | ||
| I didn't see nothing else. | ||
| What you talking about, niggas shooting? | ||

| Only thing I saw is Denise Richards' husband shoots a lot of her OnlyFans content. | ||
| He knows what guys like. | ||

| It could be a scam. | ||
| No rest? | ||

| Where are we going? | ||
| Creak in the cave. | ||
| You gonna creak in the cave tonight? | ||
| For real? | ||

| Yes, for real. | ||
| Who gonna be there? | ||
| Tonight, Duncan Trussell, Tony Hinchcliffe. | ||
| He live here? | ||
| Yeah, Duncan lives here. | ||
| Duncan lives here now. | ||
| You should do his podcast. | ||
| No, he need to do my podcast. | ||
| He should do yours too. | ||
| They made a clip of Duncan and I, all the different costumes we've worn. | ||
| I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna come. | ||
| You're not gonna lie? | ||
| No, I'm not gonna come. | ||
| Why? | ||
| If you put me in the hair... | ||
| No, I'm not going to put you in the hair lock. | ||
| Just come! | ||
| It'd be fun. | ||
| Danny, that feeling is the... | ||
| You know, when I first got on stage, I almost didn't. | ||
| No, see, see, this is the difference. | ||
| You already said it. | ||
| It's no big deal about me getting on stage. | ||
| I can get on stage and talk shit for whatever the fuck. | ||
| But the thing is, it's a friend group that I'm starting... | ||
| Like, I don't want to disappoint y'all. | ||
| You're not going to disappoint us. | ||
| No one gives a shit. | ||
| It'd be funny if you bomb. | ||
| I'd rather bomb and be trash in my own presence and not around y'all. | ||
| It'd be funny if you bomb. | ||
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it has to be. | |
| Y'all want to see? | ||
| No, Dan, I want to see you kill. | ||
| Me bombing. | ||
| Dude, I think you'll be funny. | ||
| I think you'll enjoy it. | ||
| I think it'll be surprisingly fun for you. | ||
| You know what's fucked up, though, about comedy? | ||
| What? | ||
| Nigga, five minutes is 30 minutes. | ||
| Five minutes is a long time. | ||
| Bro, I did it. | ||
| I did it with Hannibal. | ||
| No, you know what's fucked up? | ||
| Hannibal been hitting me up all week. | ||
| Actually, that was the first person that actually ever told me that I could ever do something in comedy. | ||
| Now I used to be, you know, my rap shit and do whatever. | ||
| And I would do festivals and out of nowhere, Hannibal Buress would just show up backstage. | ||
| So this ended up being my friend. | ||
| We're like, uh, boom. | ||
| Whenever no one, Hannibal always show up. | ||
| He's my friend. | ||
| But one day I was backstage and I was just talking shit. | ||
| And I was talking about, um, you play Mario Brothers, right? | ||
| Yeah, I have. | ||
| Yeah, Mario Brothers. | ||
| And I was just like, um, Mario's like a home invasion rapist. | ||
| He's a plumber. | ||
| Why is he kicking them castle doors down, stealing princesses? | ||
| When did you know princesses had anything to do with plumbers? | ||
| And then you remember back in our day, his name was King Cooper. | ||
| Really? | ||
| You remember King Cooper? | ||
| Mario Brothers was King Cooper? | ||
| The actual boss was King Cooper. | ||
| Oh, I never got that far. | ||
| But that's what I'm trying to tell you. | ||
| It got so weird that they had to change his name into be Bowser. | ||
| He's Bowser now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bowser. | |
| Because they don't want to make you feel like... | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| Why is a plumber... | ||
| Kickin' in doors to castles, you gotta think, if you play Mario Bros. | ||
|
unidentified
|
3, you kill every kid he have. | |
| You just kickin' doors, throwin' fireballs. | ||
| Bitch, boom, boom, boom, bitch, uh-uh, take this, uh-uh. | ||
| And then, you make it all the way to the princess, who said, this nigga named King Cooper, right? | ||
| She the princess. | ||
| You just a plumber. | ||
| You just kicking in those. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You killed every last kid he had. | |
| And took his bitch. | ||
| The bitch never said she wanted to go with Mario. | ||
| Then his brother Luigi. | ||
| Luigi ain't had nothing to do with nothing. | ||
| If you play with Luigi, you can't beat no game with Luigi. | ||
| If you play Mario Brothers 2, like when you're picking the fucking rutabagas, that's what I call them. | ||
| Picking rutabagas, you throw them in. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But I'm just saying. | ||
| At the end of the day, Mario Brothers was home invasion rapists. | ||
| And they trained a lot of kids into a lot of shit that we weren't supposed to be into. | ||
| What do you think things like Modern Warfare, like when people are playing these Modern Warfare games? | ||
| See, I don't play any of those, Joe. | ||
| But do you think that people, when they play those games, like Urban Warfare games, they're very popular, right? | ||
| What's the big one? | ||
| No, a new one came out. | ||
| Yeah, Modern Warfare 2. So Modern Warfare is the big one, right? | ||
| Is there more than one of those? | ||
| There's another one, like Fortnite, similar style of game, but you're doing way different stuff the whole entire time. | ||
| But Modern Warfare is basically like you're at war. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| What do I think? | ||
| I think you're gay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pfft! | |
| No, no. | ||
| If you're gonna play games and shoot niggas and being fun, that's not fun to me. | ||
| My favorite video game that I play is Persona. | ||
| Persona? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Shit. | ||
| It's about some teenage kids that went to school and the murder happened and we gotta figure out the murder. | ||
| Oh, so it's a puzzle game? | ||
| It's like 21 Jump Street. | ||
| This is it? | ||
| Oh, so it's like anime? | ||
| Yeah, it's so good. | ||
| Joker, that's Joker. | ||
| So you're like living, like you're playing the game as you're a character in this anime. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| That's cool. | ||
| And you only know the story unless you beat the game. | ||
| There's a lot of games now that you have to go on a journey. | ||
| If you got caught up into the story and you love the video game, it's going to make you beat the game to know what happens in the story. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Joker. | ||
| But they've been making Joker look sexy as fuck. | ||
| They've been making look. | ||
| You got to do all type of shit. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| There's a lot of games now where you're basically going on this hyper-realistic journey. | ||
| It's not as simple as just going and pressing things and shooting things. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| These games will take your life away. | ||
| The best games are those. | ||
| The best games are those. | ||
| That's what I would say. | ||
| Personas and... | ||
| I mean, I'm more so into sports games. | ||
| Sports games? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm... | ||
| NBA 2K. That's what I was just talking about with Hannibal. | ||
| NBA 2K is like the nigga version of the metaverse. | ||
| And we just don't know that yet. | ||
| They've been training us to get adapted to... | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Metaverse. | ||
| They've been training us to get adapted to the metaverse. | ||
| Have you fucked with any VR? Have you done anything? | ||
| I've done all of it. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| What do you think about it? | ||
| Um... | ||
| I might be too old for just having something on your head. | ||
| I mean, it's not actual what happens to content that I see. | ||
| It's just actual... | ||
| Having a thing over your face. | ||
| Do you think that as it gets lighter, it'll get more easy to accept? | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| But as of right now, it's nothing. | ||
| That's not... | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| It's not interesting to you. | ||
| Yeah, putting that... | ||
| No, it's still fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love VR. I've done all the VRs. | |
| Bro, it's only one of the times the Batman VR. You played that? | ||
| No. | ||
| The Arkham? | ||
| Oh, bro. | ||
| You might love that. | ||
| I've only played a few VR things. | ||
| The things that are really good to me are the shadowboxing ones. | ||
| Because you're having a boxing match against this robot. | ||
| Just because you said that, play the Batman. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Batman on the... | ||
| Oh, you like do shit? | ||
| That's what made me... | ||
| That's what fucked me up on VR. That's why I don't fuck with it no more. | ||
| Because that was... | ||
| It got too deep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| I thought I was Batman. | ||
| They just put out Iron Man. | ||
| You can be Iron Man. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| It got too deep. | ||
| You put your hands back and you fly. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| For three days. | ||
| I played, bro, for three days. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I beat it in three days, but I thought I was Batman for them three days. | ||
| I'm talking about, so day number two, ain't no bitch could talk to me. | ||
| The first day when I started, it was like, ugh. | ||
| But day number two when I was fully fledged, nigga, I was Batman. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| That's the thing I love about video games, that I'd be able to escape into a whole other world, this and that. | ||
| But I think that's now where shit are starting to, with metaverses and shit is starting to collide a little bit. | ||
| It's definitely colliding. | ||
| That's inevitable. | ||
| That us going into some virtual world is inevitable. | ||
| And it's probably just a natural progression of what consciousness does when it can control technology to a certain point. | ||
| It probably gets to a certain point, then it creates an artificial technology. | ||
| Just how long is it going to take? | ||
| Is it going to take 100 years before we're all doing it? | ||
| Or 200 years? | ||
| But we're going to be plugged in like the fucking Matrix. | ||
| I think it's three years. | ||
| It might be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| And about three years is all metaverse. | ||
| But the Metaverse itself, I was reading something about how Meta's stock is down because of all this investment in the Metaverse, right? | ||
| Isn't that what's going on? | ||
| That could probably also be because their Metaverse is different from what everybody else wanted. | ||
| They're trying to make their own thing, the corporate version. | ||
| I just told y'all I was talking about with Hannibal. | ||
| The nigga version of Metaverse is NBA 2K. If you play NBA 2K, my nigga, bro, you make your own character. | ||
| Whatever basketball player you want to be, like I want to be 6'6", 250, I want to play for Orlando Magic. | ||
| Then you're on that team, then you're playing it like every day, like literally playing like... | ||
| What game they gotta play today? | ||
| Like, you're on it. | ||
| Like, to the point where you're mental. | ||
| Like, even now, like, I play 2K games, like, oh. | ||
| And I watch the real game that happened. | ||
| Like, ooh, I gotta play that game tonight. | ||
| Like, you get what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, real shit like that. | ||
| So... | ||
| They're so good right now and they're going to be so much better. | ||
| As addictive as they are now, imagine how addictive games are going to be in 20 years or 30 years. | ||
| Because 20 years ago, man, they were blocky looking. | ||
| I feel like they're going to figure it out. | ||
| It's going to be... | ||
| I mean, I don't even want to say what I want to say. | ||
| It's going to be real. | ||
| It's going to be real. | ||
| It's going to be like real life. | ||
| Like, it's going to be podcast video games. | ||
| And I'm not... | ||
| My mouth was in front of the mic the right time when I said what I had to say. | ||
| When you click the button, and that's what's... | ||
| Look, see, I'm giving them too much game. | ||
| To make a video. | ||
| I swear to God. | ||
| It could happen. | ||
| No, it could. | ||
| Nigga, it's going to. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This game is popular. | ||
| The power wash simulator people would just power wash. | ||
|
unidentified

Oh, what are you talking about? | |

Oh my god. | |

| Like, people do this? | ||
| They'll drive... | ||
| No! | ||
| They'll fake simulate drive a... | ||
| Go to my Twitter right now. | ||
| Powerwise Simulator. | ||
| Hit me up because I told them, like, bro... | ||
| How is, when I finish the entire level, and then it's like two, it's like two, it'd be like some dirt under the table. | ||
| Bro, there's a simulation of driving a truck down an empty highway. | ||
| What is wrong with people? | ||
| No. | ||
| People buy rigs. | ||
| Giant setups to do this at home. | ||
| I feel like you're a person that will get into a video and you love it. | ||
| Look, look at this. | ||
| Fireman simulator. | ||
| Fireman simulator? | ||
| Putting out fires? | ||
| So what is this? | ||
| The guy gets in the truck. | ||
| No, not fire. | ||
| Farming. | ||
| Oh, farming. | ||
| Farming. | ||
| We're building crops. | ||
| You're building your entire land. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| Oh, it's trucking. | ||
| This is a truck simulator. | ||
| Yeah, fuck the truck simulator. | ||
| It's like the car, but... | ||
| Because they ain't got no lizard lots. | ||
| It's not about speed, it's about dropping shit off. | ||
| How is a truck simulator real with no lizard lots? | ||
| So is this... | ||
| Lot lizards, yeah. | ||
| Is this how they're teaching this guy to drive? | ||
| And I want to be honest, the video I just clicked, that could be this, but I was just trying to find someone's craziest simulator. | ||
| But no, I'm being able... | ||
| No, what we did, we just hopped on the... | ||
| It's simulators for everything. | ||
| Thief simulators. | ||
| Drug dealer simulators. | ||
| My favorite drug dealer simulator, like on your own dispensaries and shit. | ||
| You gotta be on dispensaries and... | ||
| Look, this is the video that we're playing, Joe. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| No. | ||
| Truck driver video games. | ||
| If you thought about a monotonous job. | ||
| More specifically than farming is Weed Farmer. | ||
| Weed Farmer is a Weed Farmer game with fake water. | ||
| But what's the original one? | ||
| The realest one is the airplane one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Flight simulators are real. | ||
| Oh, you don't fuck with that? | ||
| I feel like that's some shit you'll fuck with. | ||
| I don't fuck with video games. | ||
| But Flight Simulator? | ||
| They get me too much. | ||
| You don't think you're gonna fuck with that? | ||
| I get addicted to them. | ||
| For some reason, I think that would be like, if I would think like who I'm selling this video game to. | ||
| To me? | ||
| That would be like flight simulator. | ||
| I would think it would be you. | ||
| Hinchcliffe does these. | ||
| Fuck no! | ||
| Yeah, he does. | ||
| Yeah, he knows a lot about it. | ||
| Like he was talking to a pilot about engines and all kinds of different things. | ||
| Part two, Tony, me and Tony, I got me and Tony. | ||
| Tony does these all the time, these flight simulators. | ||
| Yeah, he's really into it. | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| I used to play this game called Quake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like an online one-on-one video game. | |
| You'd be finessing on Room Escape. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| What's Room Escape? | ||
| You mean Escape Room? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| No? | ||
| What's RuneScape? | ||
| It's a game? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| What is RuneScape? | ||
| Oh, RuneScape. | ||
| Oh, so this is like some fantasy type shit? | ||
| We're gonna stop. | ||
| I'm gonna cast a spell on you. | ||
| Come on, can we stop? | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| You thought I would be into this? | ||
| You thought I would be into this? | ||
| Let's get back into real life. | ||
| Now I'm insulted. | ||
| I was fine until now. | ||
| Now I'm like, what the fuck happened? | ||
| RuneScape? | ||
| Yeah, what is that? | ||
| Bro, these niggas been finessing and been making so much money off RuneScape for years. | ||
| Oh, I'm sure. | ||
| People make money off all kinds of things. | ||
| That's not cool. | ||
| For real. | ||
| No, I'm being honest. | ||
| That's not cool, man. | ||
| The RuneScape with how it happens with video games. | ||
| I'm sure it's awesome. | ||
| No. | ||
| See, that's the thing. | ||
| I wish I was on the other side of the fence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, let me get some of that. | |
| Why do you wish you were on the other side of the fence? | ||
| Because I ain't getting none of that RuneScape money! | ||
| Oh, I see what you're saying. | ||
| So RuneScape is just super popular. | ||
| But it's a game you love? | ||
| Do you like it? | ||
| Why would you think I'd be playing it then? | ||
| You're shaking your head no. | ||
| Somebody, I thought he was a RuneScape type man. | ||
| For some reason. | ||
| No, I ain't gonna lie. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I get scared of those... | ||
| Is that like a role-playing game? | ||
| Is that what that is? | ||
| Don't cut this out, because I feel like people will know, but like, damn, they will get what I'm talking about. | ||
| Like, damn, Joe seems like a runescape type of nigga. | ||
| It's like a little bit of like a World of Warcraft kind of thing. | ||
| Those games are insanely addictive for people. | ||
| Those World of Warcraft games, or what was the other one that existed, the big one before that? | ||
| Starcraft? | ||
| That's not like it, is it? | ||
| Yeah, but Starcraft is more like a strategy. | ||
| Starcraft is coming next, right? | ||
| But there was another game that Duncan got sucked into. | ||
| Was it World of Warcraft? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Runescape? | |
| Duncan got addicted hard to one of those fantasy games, where you're like... | ||
| Like, there's a lot of other people, and you're doing tasks together and shit, and you're in the forest with elves and shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the switch? | |
| StarCraft, yeah. | ||
| I guess that's what he was playing, I think. | ||
| Is that what he was playing? | ||
| No, man. | ||
| Animal Crossing. | ||
| I know he played World of Warcraft, too. | ||
| Is it Animal Crossing? | ||
| I just feel like there was a game that was like, maybe it's World of Warcraft. | ||
| I don't remember which one it was, but it was one of the first of those games where people just kind of lost their life to. | ||
| There was a dude who was the manager of the comedy store, and this dude's face was pale. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| It's like Duncan playing it. | ||
| Yeah, well, he definitely has played StarCraft. | ||
| Yeah, so... | ||
| No, StarCraft's not... | ||
| God, there was another game, man. | ||
| It's on the tip of my tongue. | ||
| Anyway, this dude brings... | ||
| League of Legends or some shit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Fuck, I don't remember. | ||
| But it was just... | ||
| He was so sad. | ||
| He was so addicted. | ||
| And he was like, I'm so good at making money in the game and so bad at doing it in real life. | ||
| I'm like, that's crazy. | ||
| No, but that's the thing. | ||
| These niggas have been selling CS gold skins and shit. | ||
| These niggas have been millionaires on video games. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| You can sell some of the stuff that you earn in the game, right? | ||
| With real money. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| Yeah, that's pretty wild. | ||
| See, the thing is for me in video games, a lot of people look at me like I'm a super gamer, but I play their games in a sense to review them. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just to review them? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I play games because I don't want to tell people that I think something is trash that I didn't have nothing to do with. | ||
| So I would play like... | ||
| Everybody be like, oh, it's your type. | ||
| I play and be like, I will tell you what. | ||
| Right now, the new game, I can't even think of the name of it. | ||
| But the game is, it's an independent game. | ||
| But the whole game is about starting your own cult. | ||
| So you start your cult and you know, so the whole shit is about, you know, running a cult. | ||
| So that's the whole new video game I'm into. | ||
| I don't, you know, if you think like Modern Warfare, Call of Duty type thing, inspires people to shoot people. | ||
| I wonder if like starting a cult would inspire people to start a cult. | ||
| This is it? | ||
| Honey, I joined a cult. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cults 101. This is the game you're playing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| How many people that are in a cult think they're in a cult? | ||
| No one. | ||
| Part two, I want to start a cult. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where would you do it? | ||
| I feel like New Mexico's your spot. | ||
| Oh, where would I do it? | ||
| Detroit! | ||
| Detroit? | ||
| Yeah, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. | ||
| I want no weak bitches in my cult. | ||
| Yeah, you want cold weather cults. | ||
| But no, when I think about it, I could have started a fucking cult in Detroit. | ||
| Them bitches don't care. | ||
| What would you base your cult on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sex. | |
| What you bitchy gonna do? | ||
| But what's the trick? | ||
| How do you get him to join? | ||
| Like space shit? | ||
| Spiritual? | ||
| What are you going with? | ||
| Who gonna get the dick? | ||
| I mean, how hard you gonna work for it? | ||
| I mean, if some bitchy be like, oh, you gonna let me pee on you? | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| So the pee on bitches. | ||
| Maybe you should start your own game. | ||
| No, this is the game. | ||
| See, this is before me, before I was a one-woman man. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I love my girl. | ||
| But this video game thing, like this cult thing you do, at least it's like cartoony, right? | ||
| It looks cartoony. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| See, that's that one thing about it. | ||
| It's not realistic. | ||
| That would be a creepy fucking game if you started a realistic cult. | ||
| But they all lead to people fucking, right? | ||
| Is there ever a cult that doesn't? | ||
| See, this is where it comes with me. | ||
| I think that's the only thing that's funny. | ||
| People fucking? | ||
| I mean, how do you make jokes about shit? | ||
| See, that's where I'm at with comedy. | ||
| Like, I know I make rap songs and shit. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| See, the thing is about making rap songs and shit is like, you can be as cool as you want with rap songs, but it's cool as hell to rhyme words. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, you can rhyme words that sound cool and it's just like, you know, it not have nothing to do with fucking comedy or nothing, but it's funny. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so now you're telling me to get on stage and be funny without the rhyming funny words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but you're already doing it when you're doing your podcast. | |
| You're telling funny stories. | ||
| Because I tell stories and shit, but... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What do you mean you don't know? | ||
| I'm just scared. | ||
| But you don't have to do it. | ||
| If you don't have to do it tonight, if you want to do it in the future, you can prepare for it. | ||
| No, see, the thing is about it with me. | ||
| I've been a rapper my entire life. | ||
| And that was, God told me, oh, you're going to be a rapper. | ||
| Try to be a rapper and try my best to be a rapper and rap as much as I could. | ||
| But who knows? | ||
| If I grew up in fucking some weird suburb and I wasn't a black nigga and rap wasn't just a thing around me, would I have been doing comedy? | ||
| Would I have been playing the guitar? | ||
| Or shit like that, so I feel like when they talk about 100 hours, I only think I'm good at rapping because I did 100 hours. | ||
| You mean like 10,000 hours? | ||
| Oh yeah, the 10,000 hours, my bad. | ||
| 100 hours, everybody's like, damn, that's all it takes? | ||
| Yeah, but 10,000 hours. | ||
| Oh, I definitely did over 10,000 hours when it comes to rap. | ||
| Don't you think that's the case with anything? | ||
| I think that's probably the case with everything, to get good at it. | ||
| You gotta really put in time. | ||
| So, that's what we're talking about. | ||
| That's what we're talking about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I think you have a head start, because I think some of your hours already count. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| It's like you're transferring your education from a different school. | ||
| So, me doing this podcast, I'm going to do the podcast, and then just hanging around with someone, Tom. | ||
| Like, Tom, I look up to him as, like, you. | ||
| I look at y'all guys, like, in a total different light. | ||
| And then y'all be like, oh, you can do this shit. | ||
| You can do this shit. | ||
| And be like... | ||
| It scares me a little bit, man. | ||
| It's supposed to scare you. | ||
| It's supposed to scare you. | ||
| Because you want to do it well. | ||
| And you got to look at it like this. | ||
| Let's just say, I'm being a rapper. | ||
| I haven't had the most rap career. | ||
| I don't get Grammys. | ||
| I don't sell records. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Every album I put out has sold less records every time. | ||
| And then you know why is that? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because I never... | ||
| You know how they say, like, a person, like, if you don't change anything that you do, you're, like, retarded. | ||
| Like, insane. | ||
| Like, every album that I made is the same album in some sense. | ||
| But I'm just tinkering with what I thought was bad the last album and just trying to make a better album with every album. | ||
| So I'm not... | ||
| Going over means. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I'm just trying to beat what I did last time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I do it every time. | ||
| Which is great. | ||
| So what are you trying to say? | ||
| That's not enough. | ||
| That's not enough. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| In the world of rap music we'll be dealing with. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I gave you that whole theory of that. | ||
| No, I get the theory. | ||
| I'm the Patrice O'Neill of this rap shit. | ||
| Can you be independent as a rap artist now? | ||
| Is it possible to not be involved in a record deal with a company? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you believe in yourself that much, but we need the money from the record companies to make us keep going. | ||
| So that's what the record companies are doing. | ||
| They're providing the initial investment that gets you going. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, but at the end of the day, when they give you that initial investment, all they do is just tie you in. | ||
| So let's put it like this. | ||
| Okay, Danny Brown. | ||
| No one, I didn't have a record deal. | ||
| I made all this shit off my own shit, boom. | ||
| Made one of the illegal rap albums. | ||
| I get all the craziest. | ||
| Because my whole shit was about reviews. | ||
| You feel me? | ||
| It's not what people say about when you go on Metacritic. | ||
| And you see all the reviews add up. | ||
| What that review add up? | ||
| So my whole shit was about as long as I get a high score in Metacritic and, you know, whatever. | ||
| Just as long as I get high. | ||
| I don't have to sell records. | ||
| Because 10 years, 20 years, whatever. | ||
| Motherfucker can die, and they're going to Google what was the best reviewed albums in 2022, and they're going to see Danny Brown. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Shit like that. | ||
| So my whole shit was that, and I did that, and... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So were you saying that you're like... | ||
| Does it concern you, the amount of time that you'd have to do stand-up for to get good at it? | ||
| No! | ||
| No, I told you what. | ||
| My whole point is, I know I have to bomb. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I bombed... | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| I bombed so long we're doing rap music. | ||
| Yeah, but I don't know if you have to bomb. | ||
| You just have to figure it out. | ||
| Like, I think you have a giant advantage. | ||
| But see, this thing is what it was, Joe. | ||
| I thought about that, and I was like, man, yeah... | ||
| No, I don't want to go through that. | ||
| But then I thought about it in another world. | ||
| I'm like, who else get this chance? | ||
| If you think you can do it, you can do it. | ||
| No, but who else get this chance? | ||
| Like, you can be a rapper. | ||
| And a lot of times I think about me being a rapper. | ||
| Is that just because the environment that I grew up in? | ||
| Who says I was a rapper? | ||
| I just literally lived in fucking the hood, and that was the coolest shit to do. | ||
| I could do comedy then, but it wasn't a cool thing to push comedy for me at that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| But everybody was cool with me being a rapper, so... | ||
| Do you think if there was comedy, if it was a cool thing to do comedy, you would do that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| There you go. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Because even... | ||
| It got to the point where I remember... | ||
| You know when your teacher asks you what you want to be when you grow up type shit? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I would say a rap. | ||
| I want to be a rapper. | ||
| And the class would laugh at me. | ||
| So it got to the point where I stopped saying I want to be a rapper. | ||
| And I would say I want to be a stand-up comedian. | ||
| And the class didn't laugh at me no more. | ||
| But then the teacher would ask me to do stand-up comedian shit. | ||
| And I didn't have. | ||
| Because I remember one time the teacher asked me, we had like a... | ||
| You know, like a holiday program we gotta put on for this shit. | ||
| You know, like a Christmas program and shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I had like a poetry thing that I was gonna do in this shit. | ||
| And I remember just reading this shit, and I was like, man, this shit, whack. | ||
| Like, I can rap. | ||
| Like, I knew me to myself, like, reading the poems and shit. | ||
| Like, I can rap. | ||
| Like, I can make some ill shit way better than this. | ||
| So instead of me, like, so when we would... | ||
| And I had to do the poems. | ||
| Instead of me doing the actual poems I was supposed to do, I just started just doing random raps. | ||
| And then the whole class, like, the school, everybody, like... | ||
| They just went nuts. | ||
| Like, oh, like, applauding for me and shit. | ||
| And I was like, damn, you know, like, that's probably what I should be doing then. | ||
| Like, I'd probably be a rapper. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So I just kept just rapping. | ||
| Like, even then, like, I was, um, I rapped the entire time. | ||
| Like, I would go to school, like, being in, like, middle school, like, sixth grade or whatever the fuck. | ||
| No one knew I rapped. | ||
| It'd be always one kid that'd pop up and try to, like, rap and, like, be a rapper. | ||
| And they'd be like, ugh. | ||
| And I'd just be, like, just sitting in a corner to myself, like, and this would be, like, my time to shine. | ||
| And I would fucking just buy them every time. | ||
| But from that one day, it would make me the most popular kid in school instantly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Instantly. | ||
| Literally happened, like, Bro, I did every year in school. | ||
| Like, I literally shut up the whole year. | ||
| One time, some rapping came up. | ||
| I bust a rap, and then the whole entire school looked at me different. | ||
| How many kids in your grade tried rapping? | ||
| Probably, like, three or four of us. | ||
| Because I actually learned how to write a rap was from one of my, like, a kid, Kevin Willis. | ||
| Shouts out Kevin Willis. | ||
| He had all the hockey jerseys. | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| No niggas, we don't watch hockey. | ||
| But this nigga would show up on some throwback shit. | ||
| He had all the illegal hockey jerseys. | ||
| But his brother rapped. | ||
| And his brother used to rap in his notebook. | ||
| And one day, he showed me his notebook. | ||
| And I saw the format of how he wrote rap. | ||
| And you want to hear the fucked up part about it? | ||
| It's kind of like comedy. | ||
| Because it's all about stand-up. | ||
| It's all about set-up, set-up, punchline. | ||
| Set-up, set-up, punchline. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| You set up, set up. | ||
| So I learned that from that. | ||
| That's why even when y'all talk about comedy, like, I can do it. | ||
| I just don't, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm just being a bitch-ass nigga about it. | ||
| Because I know I can do it. | ||
| It's like everything else, Danny Brown. | ||
| Before you've done it, you get scared of it. | ||
| And then you do it, and you realize, oh, maybe I can get better at this. | ||
| And then you keep doing it. | ||
| It's like everything else. | ||
| You know, you can't... | ||
| You can get paralysis by analysis. | ||
| No, the thing about it... | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I'm doing it. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| I'm doing it. | ||
| There's no... | ||
|
unidentified
|
The only reason why I... I mean... | |
| Just make sure you time it out to five minutes. | ||
| I feel... | ||
| Don't go over. | ||
| Don't go less. | ||
| No, I want to type out. | ||
| You can do it. | ||
| But no... | ||
| The only reason... | ||
| I'm not saying the only reason, but... | ||
| I don't think too many people get as lucky as me. | ||
| And it's to me to fucking take care of the blessings and really appreciate them and go hard with it. | ||
| Because a rapper... | ||
| Bro, rapping is like literally selling dope. | ||
| It's like what? | ||
| Selling dope. | ||
| You might get five years at max. | ||
| Becoming a rapper? | ||
| Like how? | ||
| How long do you think it's gonna be hot? | ||
| You might got five years max. | ||
| For me to fucking push my five years... | ||
| Because I was the hot rapper for five years, and I did that. | ||
| And I was able to push it to start hanging with y'all niggas and do comedy shit. | ||
| And then it kind of like pressed it here and there to where it wasn't like no dick riding shit. | ||
| To where it looked like I was trying to like... | ||
| You saw me learn into this situation of this. | ||
| To where I got the fucking podcast with time though. | ||
| So if you watch me as being a Danny Brown fan, you super watched my whole progression of this shit to get to here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| So it's not a big deal. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| The people that are super fans of me, they get this shit and they do it, they're like, oh, this is what he supposed to be doing. | ||
| This nigga been like, bro, this nigga been fighting for this. | ||
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| So for me being here talking shit is like, bro, I supposed to be here doing this shit. | ||
| The only thing I don't understand is just because I think I love the writing aspect. | ||
| To what part? | ||
| In anything. | ||
| But what do you mean? | ||
| What don't you understand about it? | ||
| You said the only thing I don't understand, I like the writing aspect. | ||
| Because the shit you write don't necessarily mean you can go on stage and it can be funny. | ||
| Yeah, but it's an idea. | ||
| And then you work it out on stage. | ||
| Yeah, no, no. | ||
| That's what I learned. | ||
| But sometimes you don't. | ||
| Sometimes you write it out. | ||
| No, no, that's what I learned. | ||
| You have to go and just work it. | ||
| And then that will turn into something else. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sometimes. | |
| And that will turn into something else. | ||
| Sometimes you write something and it's good right away. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| So you gotta see me. | ||
| Creativity is very... | ||
| I'm super green as fuck. | ||
| I'm sure you are. | ||
| I'm a motherfucker that's... | ||
| Danny, you don't have to explain this to me. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's okay. | |
| But I'm only taking it serious because... | ||
| Look, you. | ||
| Time. | ||
| Like, people that I really respect with this comedy shit, they're like, no, you can do this shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's like, bro, like, I would be retarded not to try. | ||
| Not to say retarded. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| We've said that a bunch of times already. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And I hate to say that, but you know what? | ||
| That's just like an enormous thing for me. | ||
| Your writing thing is not much different than any other kind of writing. | ||
| It's just expressing your thoughts and getting it down on print and just put it in on a computer and And it really is a lot of it is about the time spent thinking about the subjects that when you're writing you have to think about these subjects like a lot of people like to write in their head which is great too but when you write when you're looking at a piece of paper or when you're looking at a screen and you're typing now you're really thinking about it and it's extra time thinking about it. | ||
| Do you know how easy it is to write a rap? | ||
| It's four punchlines. | ||
| You understand what I'm saying? | ||
| So let's just say if I come up with Four punchlines. | ||
| I told you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So let's just say I'm hanging out. | ||
| Any boom day, I just write, I hear punchlines. | ||
| Your bitch suck my dick like a Klondike. | ||
| Let's say if I had that line. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Your bitch suck my dick like a Klondike. | ||
| I write four lines, three lines that come up with that, and then that's the fourth line because that's the big line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, *Sings* Ya bitch suck my dick like a Kline Dyke. | |
| You get what I'm saying? | ||
| Right, I guess. | ||
| So it's, that's common. | ||
| If you think about it, so all I gotta do is have these, all I gotta do is figure out four punchlines. | ||
| And I have a verse. | ||
| 16 bars of verse. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So I would come up with these four lines, write these punchlines. | ||
| It don't matter what the song is to it, I will figure these out. | ||
| I'm going to figure it out. | ||
| Now what we're coming to realize is like, that's what stand-up comedy is. | ||
| So the entire time where I thought I was being a rapper and I was writing raps, I was lightly writing... | ||
| Because that's not... | ||
| When I talk to other rappers, they don't write raps like that. | ||
| They're like, nigga, are you retarded? | ||
|
unidentified

No, they're like, nigga, I just don't... | |
| You were writing stand-up. | ||
| You were doing stand-up rap. | ||
| I was doing stand-up the entire time, and I didn't realize it. | ||
| All I wrote was punch... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bro, I got up off the bed today. | |
| Like last night, if I hear a punchline, like there's something that I think is funny to myself. | ||
| And I'm like, I gotta write that down. | ||
| And last night it was, um, I was talking to them about it before the last podcast. | ||
| It was deviled eggs. | ||
| Deviled eggs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bro! | |
| That's the most, I get why they call it deviled eggs. | ||
| Deviled eggs! | ||
| Now me, I'm a person that loves eggs. | ||
| I'm a, you gotta get your protein however you can get it. | ||
| But, alright, we were talking about abortions and this and that. | ||
| So these niggas, I'm just saying, it's an egg. | ||
| Okay, it's not fertilized. | ||
| But they took you, they scrambled you up, then put you back into the mix, then fed you the next. | ||
| This is like the most, like, gruesome shit you can do to anybody. | ||
| It's a double egg, man. | ||
| You gonna tell me, bro, if you take my shell... | ||
| You take me, all my skin, and you're going to take all this, throw some mayonnaise and some... | ||
| Do you know that deviled eggs are eggs that are not fertilized? | ||
| This is not like a logical premise, because those eggs aren't fertilized. | ||
| They can never become a chicken. | ||
| A fertilized egg is an egg when the rooster fucks the hen, and then the egg could become a person. | ||
| The egg is just a piece of protein. | ||
| It's never going to be a living organism. | ||
| Joe, how does this change the situation? | ||
| Because you're talking about gruesomely turning up what it means to be you. | ||
| It's a dead baby. | ||
| Any way it goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| It's not a dead baby. | ||
| It has zero potential to be a baby. | ||
| It's never impregnated. | ||
| They lay eggs every day. | ||
| I have chickens. | ||
| So, eating deviled eggs? | ||
| They're building a chicken coop in my house right now. | ||
| Eating deviled eggs is not bad. | ||
| It's nothing. | ||
| It's like free protein. | ||
| I hate you, man. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| But that's what an egg is. | ||
| But can I get my bit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That bit's not going to work. | |
| It's okay. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| I get what you're going for. | ||
| And if it really was you were eating babies, it makes sense. | ||
| But most people know that that's not really what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like one of them things where someone has to... | ||
| But see, that's why you need a ghostwriter. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, you need someone, like, to consult with. | ||
| You know, sometimes you have some funny ideas and you don't realize that it's not logical. | ||
| Sometimes it don't have to be logical. | ||
| Maybe a lot of people don't know. | ||
| Yeah, no, you're right, you're right. | ||
| Sometimes it don't have to be logical, but... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that was the one I thought was really funny. | ||
| Well, Danny Brown, we're gonna work on some stuff then. | ||
| We're gonna go over some of your material. | ||
| We're gonna come up with a fucking game plan in five minutes tonight. | ||
| You're gonna go up there... | ||
| Don't tell me that, because I'm really serious about it. | ||
| Why would I not tell you that? | ||
| No, no, I'm really, because... | ||
| Also, I'm serious about it. | ||
| No, because... | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I think comedy is like a... | ||
| Like I said, it's kind of gatekeepy. | ||
| And the last thing they want to see is a nigga like me. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| That was a rapper. | ||
| If you're funny. | ||
| Come out of nowhere. | ||
| If you're funny. | ||
| And get good at this shit and then blow and then be fired. | ||
| I don't think, like, Danny, you can't think like this. | ||
| No, I don't care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't give a fuck. | |
| But you're saying it over and over and over again. | ||
| Like, who gives a fuck about that? | ||
| Oh, because I've been through it. | ||
| But don't. | ||
| Those gate... | ||
| Whoever's gatekeeping comedy, they're not good. | ||
| No, I've kind of been through it. | ||
| Maybe that's what it is. | ||
| Most comedians, most comedians, if you're killing it, would be happy. | ||
| They would laugh. | ||
| They would think this is great. | ||
| Danny Brown's fucking hilarious. | ||
| So that's what we hope for. | ||
| I hope for that too. | ||
| Because... | ||
| I mean, I love making music. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| You should be professionally Danny Brown. | ||
| I would love to be able to make music without any... | ||
| Thinking about making any money from it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or something like that. | ||
| Or even doing comedy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like when I can get to the point in my life where... | ||
| Because that's where it's at now. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I have to do shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| To fucking support myself. | ||
| And I wish I didn't have that. | ||
| Right, you wish you could just do whatever you enjoy and then make money off of it. | ||
| Ain't that everybody else. | ||
| So I can't sit around and act like it's not a big deal. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Danny, I gotta wrap this up. | ||
| So let's close this out. | ||
| Oh yeah, thank you. | ||
| My pleasure. | ||
| Tell everybody all your social media shit. | ||
| Oh, xDanny, xBrownX. | ||
| That's on my Twitters and fucking Instagrams or whatever the fuck is that. | ||
| Also, I have a, writing a book. | ||
| The book will be coming soon. | ||
| I suck to be on fucking Joe Rogan and have nothing to sell. | ||
| But that's the real shit, I guess. | ||
| You know, shout out, man. | ||
| Joe, man. | ||
| Thank you for having me on here, man. | ||
| It's fun, man. | ||
| Thanks for being on, brother. | ||
| We're going to have fun tonight. | ||
