1:32
a lot a lot a lot and look david i'm
1:34
gonna jump right into it because we've
1:36
been on fire since this whole versus
1:38
thing went down
1:39
y'all ready on the acting side the
1:40
actors that got bars and everything
1:42
who you gonna go in the verses against
1:44
dave talk to us
1:48
a lot of actors rapping bro i'm telling
1:50
you
2:03
okay let's put it out there davey diggs
2:06
versus
2:06
donald glover in a rap in an active rap
2:10
battle
2:11
a rapper acting battle let's go
2:15
yo did y'all see the battle raphael did
2:17
you see the battle the versus um
2:19
yo yeah man i i caught the highlights
2:22
man i caught i caught
2:23
jada finally freestyling i caught camera
2:26
walking back and forth not knowing the
2:27
words of [ __ ] that [ __ ] was amazing
2:33
you gotta love it right yo but jada made
2:35
an interesting point and you guys
2:37
everything you do is about words it's
2:40
about writing it's about dialogue and
2:42
you know and what you do requires
2:44
you know a high skill set to memorize
2:47
and that's
2:48
always been something we held people
2:50
accountable for in hip-hop and jada
2:51
pointed that out
2:52
what did y'all think about that that
2:54
they were rapping over lyrics lip
2:56
syncing
2:59
yeah man i mean like
3:02
as a for me
3:05
like i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm aware of the
3:08
different
3:09
uh the different kinds of
3:12
rappers that are out there right and so
3:14
like and i think the
3:16
the industry is versatile enough that
3:18
you can use all kinds of them right i
3:20
like a lot of rappers who are probably
3:21
only good on record who i don't really
3:23
need to see live right but i still
3:25
use their music it's still useful for me
3:27
yes there
3:28
but that's right there is something
3:30
special about and if you're going to
3:31
step up to a versus right
3:33
there is something there's something
3:35
special about
3:36
having such a deep catalog and having it
3:39
all
3:39
so immediately accessible to be able to
3:41
perform and not only just get through
3:43
the words but also perform it
3:44
with like a sense of virtuosity and with
3:47
again an acknowledgement of the audience
3:49
that's there and all of that stuff like
3:51
those are
3:51
it's a different skill set and it is
3:53
impressive and i think necessary to have
3:56
people who honor all of it but also
3:58
not everybody has to honor all of it i'm
4:00
still going to listen to people who
4:01
probably are not good live okay okay
4:04
that's davey
4:05
diggs still running for mayor uh let's
4:07
go to rafael real quick
4:12
ron i know
4:16
yeah man i mean it's just a different
4:18
thing it's a different it's a different
4:19
art form and you get you get
4:21
the lyricists in the room and a
4:22
different thing is happening you know if
4:24
they're going bar for bar
4:26
one of the cats you know the cat uh on
4:27
our show that benjamin earl turner who
4:29
plays the earl
4:30
he's like a you know a lyricist rapper
4:32
him and his
4:33
rat partners from chicago and detroit
4:35
get on uh
4:37
get on the internet you know and and
4:38
broadcast themselves just like working
4:40
on verses every week and i'm like that's
4:42
a you're not going to throw a rapper who
4:44
just like
4:45
is about the vibe or of ivy wrapper into
4:47
that room it just doesn't make sense so
4:48
i think
4:50
i think i think we got to acknowledge at
4:51
this point that rob's just got
4:52
multitudes and
4:53
[ __ ] are just a completely
4:55
different buckets and you can't you
4:56
can't put them next to each other darryl
4:58
turner he got an album coming out
4:59
tomorrow and you all need to play it all
5:01
the time
5:01
i'm just telling you right who's that
5:03
who's that benjamin errol turner
5:06
benjamin earl turner he plays earl on
5:08
our show he's one of the he's one of the
5:10
coldest
5:10
mcs i've i've ever heard bro
5:16
really from the soil and he's in our
5:18
writer's room also
5:19
super multi-hyphenate crazy talented i
5:22
love that man um blind spotting we're
5:24
talking about blind spotting available
5:26
on stars um most of us
5:28
it was introduced to us um as a movie
5:31
and now it's a series and i'm just
5:33
curious to how hard is it to
5:36
take a movie and and transition it into
5:39
us or even a book or play and transition
5:41
it into a series like we're seeing here
5:43
on stars for blind spotting is that
5:45
how difficult what what were the factors
5:47
that played into
5:48
this actually being greenlit
5:52
uh i mean i think the i think the
5:54
hardest part for us i mean
5:55
look first off top we didn't know
5:57
anything about how to make television so
5:59
we had to learn that on the job
6:00
but the real hard thing was that we got
6:02
greenlit with the pandemic kid so
6:04
also there was no road map because
6:05
people were going to be massed up and
6:07
there was going to be all this protocol
6:08
and the bay would have an ordinance that
6:11
said we couldn't shoot indoors for the
6:13
first like half of the time we were
6:14
shooting the show like we were oh
6:15
wow we were up against restrictions that
6:18
also we couldn't really talk about you
6:20
know so we had to navigate something
6:21
that had never really been done before
6:23
and so i think you know diggs and i just
6:25
had to kind of approach this going on
6:27
we're going to be doing tv at a time
6:28
where even people who do tv are not
6:31
you know quite sure how to do it now i
6:33
think that that new terrain is [ __ ]
6:35
exciting to us
6:37
uh raphael let me ask you guys this
6:39
because i i know as you were filming in
6:40
the bay i was getting a lot of calls yo
6:42
they in the bay they filming in the bay
6:44
the build the bay was turned up right
6:47
and and i stand by this hb what i'ma say
6:50
real quick
6:51
and maybe these fellas could relate to
6:53
it and i was having this conversation
6:55
with some dudes who's just from east
6:57
oakland fonte he's an emcee
6:59
uh down with a crew called real refugee
7:02
uh
7:02
quasi my cousin all these guys and they
7:05
were we were having this discussion they
7:07
said hey
7:07
is it true because my man simba remember
7:09
we had symbol on the air
7:11
uh when you look at too short when you
7:14
it's a lot of people out here in
7:15
new york from the bay a lot of people
7:17
move to l.a the bank can be very
7:19
critical
7:19
on anything that's bay related
7:22
especially
7:23
when it comes from people from the bay
7:26
if you don't
7:27
interpret something correctly if it the
7:29
fight the sideshow don't look exactly
7:31
like it did in 89
7:33
you know what i mean if displaying
7:36
you know if the slang is a tidbit off we
7:38
said cap cap where people say no cap now
7:41
meant something different than when we
7:42
met in the 90s
7:44
you know how critical has debate been on
7:47
you guys
7:48
if at all um and then how do you process
7:51
that how do you work around that
7:54
i i think i mean i think go ahead
8:00
we make every one of our artists coming
8:02
out the bay go through like a
8:04
like a middle passage of criticism like
8:06
you gotta weather the fact that
8:07
everybody's gonna come down on you
8:09
because you're trying to hold up a whole
8:10
place
8:11
you know like we don't have when you
8:13
think about making a tv show about the
8:14
bank there
8:15
isn't one you know like people would be
8:17
like what about mr
8:18
cooper what about like shows that came
8:20
out like the 90s and 80s but these
8:21
things just had like a sweeping shot of
8:23
san francisco and then it went inside on
8:25
a set
8:26
and it wasn't really like about about
8:27
the bay it was about you know something
8:30
else this is something trying to be
8:31
about
8:32
one small family in the bay and so
8:34
everybody's going to come with their
8:35
expectations and their dreams of what a
8:37
bay show would look like and did it
8:39
and we just got to kind of like block
8:41
and play defense and be like trust like
8:43
it's going to be the thing that we set
8:45
out to make it
8:46
and hopefully it doesn't you know it
8:49
doesn't become this end-all be-all for
8:50
everybody but it's rather like cracking
8:52
the door open like hey all we can have
8:54
tv shows about this place we could have
8:55
a thousand tv shows about this huh
8:57
if we probably if we prop everything up
8:59
but all we set out to do was tell one
9:01
small story really well we're not
9:03
not in the business and telling the
9:05
whole base story we ain't got the clout
9:06
for it
9:07
you know but if we can tell one small
9:09
story really really well that might that
9:10
might pass the permission to the next
9:12
cat who feels like
9:13
i would have done it like this or i'd
9:14
have done it different like this hey
9:16
put the batteries in your back and let's
9:17
do it you know right yeah
9:20
that's the that's the real hype is like
9:22
i think we
9:23
we can only tell the story that we're
9:25
capable of telling you know
9:27
um but the bay is a whole world it's a
9:29
whole you know like it's
9:30
it's there's so much there and it's one
9:32
of the most diverse places on the planet
9:34
you know but like and uh i think
9:38
to to try and tell it all in one
9:42
uh you know season of a half hour tv
9:44
show would make for a really bad tv show
9:46
but hopefully um it can get enough eyes
9:49
on it that stories about the bay like
9:51
stories about new york like stories
9:52
about
9:53
l.a become really desirable and that
9:55
opens the door for a whole bunch of
9:57
other artists who have different stories
9:58
to tell to tell their version of it and
9:59
that's kind of the
10:00
the overarching goal here okay uh
10:04
david rafael's that they're here you
10:06
know from blind

10:53
why are you telling my business

11:03
you're doing it big
11:06
yo y'all go ahead and jump in man i'm so
11:08
proud of y'all uh hb you want to holla
11:10
at him
11:10
no i'm i'm just happy too because i'm
11:13
just trying to figure out
11:14
what did people on set think you guys
11:17
were crazy for trying to film something
11:19
during
11:20
the pandemic like we've heard these
11:23
clips with tom cruise and all these
11:24
different people
11:25
like how crazy was it really it was
11:28
crazy it
11:29
but it was also you know it's funny i
11:32
this this was actually so i i had gone
11:35
back and finished shooting a season of a
11:37
tv show that i'm just an actor in
11:39
also during the pandemic and that was
11:40
weird and stressful
11:42
was it snow piercing was it snow
11:43
piercing yeah yeah yeah yeah
11:45
you see how you did that rafael he did
11:47
that like a tv show i'm actually an
11:49
actor
11:51
he said i'm only an actor and i'm just
11:52
an actor no but look
11:54
that's that that but what i'm saying is
11:55
as an actor the protocols were a little
11:58
bit stressful and it was
11:59
and it was it slowed down the work and
12:01
it made it awkward to try and interact
12:03
with the director at a mask on all this
12:04
stuff right
12:05
oh okay as a as a producer as a
12:08
as an as an ep and as a creator it was a
12:11
hundred times more stressful because all
12:13
of a sudden you realize that
12:15
what we had this opportunity to do was
12:17
create a bunch of jobs for people who'd
12:19
been out of work for months and months
12:20
and months
12:21
right to rely you know i mean 250 people
12:24
working on this
12:25
on this show right so like that's that's
12:27
incredible at the same time they're all
12:29
coming to work
12:30
um and risking everything risking their
12:32
lives risking their family's safety you
12:34
know so the idea that someone might get
12:36
coveted on our set was so stressful
12:38
so we doubled and tripled down on the
12:40
protocols we went way above and beyond
12:42
what we were asked to do
12:43
actually and had constant conversations
12:45
with people about staying safe outside
12:47
of set and it made it like
12:48
not nearly as much fun as it should have
12:50
been but also
12:52
i think safety came before everything we
12:55
just wanted to make sure we were able to
12:57
keep everybody working and keep
12:59
everybody safe and that was
13:00
that was really the the paramount thing
13:03
for us
13:04
okay all right we're talking about
13:07
i'm curious for the both of you guys
13:09
like when we were touching on your
13:11
your thoughts on verses i always like to
13:14
hear how to help
13:15
actors and of course you guys are
13:16
multi-hyphenate but when it comes to the
13:18
acting
13:19
what are the methods y'all use for
13:21
remembering
13:22
your lines and have they changed over
13:24
time when you first got into the game to
13:25
how you do things now
13:29
oh man
13:32
yeah the memorization game is tricky it
13:34
also depends what it is you know we do
13:36
we do like verse
13:37
and music stuff on the show so i know
13:39
that in terms of birth stuff it's the
13:41
same way that it is with rap music where
13:42
like
13:43
you just really are memorizing a cadence
13:45
to a certain degree and i think
13:46
i think when it switches over to
13:48
dialogue it starts to be the same thing
13:49
there's like there's a rhythm to a scene
13:50
there's a rhythm to
13:52
you know how you sort of banter with
13:53
another character and how you find a
13:55
pocket to kind of make a thing
13:56
flow and vibe and so i think me
13:59
personally i lean on the music muscle in
14:00
the same way i'm like if we can find a
14:02
rhythm to this like i can i can lock
14:04
into i can keep coming back to it and we
14:06
can keep kind of jamming together
14:07
and so i think it's sort of one about
14:09
picking up on the rhythm of the scene
14:11
and the other thing is
14:12
is understanding like at the core what
14:14
is the scene about so if you get lost
14:16
you can at least find your way back to
14:18
you know we kind of know where we
14:20
together as actors have to get to
14:22
you know because you only you only have
14:24
a day you know sometimes you get the
14:25
lines a day before
14:26
you gotta gosh you know figure out how
14:30
to memorize the page of stuff
14:31
and then how long do you actually do you
14:34
actually like
14:35
act before you know someone says cut
14:37
like are you prepared to do like i don't
14:39
know
14:40
20 minutes of dialogue straight not in
14:43
television
14:44
generally not in television the thing
14:48
about tv is it's generally i mean
14:49
it can go all different ways but usually
14:52
it's broken up into pretty short
14:53
pieces and you'll never you know it's so
14:56
hard to take so long to shoot a page
14:58
worth of of text that you'll
15:01
you rarely do a show where you're going
15:02
to shoot more than seven pages in a day
15:05
um and so it's uh it's in short chunks
15:09
and it also i think what rafa said about
15:11
understanding the intention of the scene
15:14
um understanding your relationship with
15:16
the person you're in the scene with
15:17
understanding where you are in the story
15:19
because you're shooting out of order
15:20
those things become a lot more important
15:21
than the words if you know where you are
15:23
and who you are you probably don't
15:25
figure out what to say
15:26
got it okay blind spotting on stars
15:29
bay area where you at eight eight eight
15:32
seven four
15:32
two three three four five yeah standing
15:35
proud for the bay call these guys up
15:37
they doing it for the bay
15:38
in the world you mind if i jump in
15:40
please do bb
15:42
hey uh so you you touched on some of the
15:43
older sitcoms and since you guys have
15:45
now stepped into this world of creating
15:46
a tv series
15:47
i thought you would be perfect to ask
15:49
this question too um i saw a tweet that
15:51
turned into a discussion and i wanted to
15:53
get your input on it
15:54
so the tweet reads like this and again
15:55
this these are not my words this is a
15:58
tweet that i saw somebody post it said
16:00
black sitcoms up today are created for
16:02
white audiences to teach them about
16:03
blackness
16:04
sitcoms in the 90s and 2000s then center
16:06
on white audiences nearly as much as
16:08
shows nowadays
16:09
it's so clear that the target audience
16:11
isn't us new shows always come off as
16:13
instruction manuals to blackness
16:15
instead of black folks simply living
16:16
their lives and letting that
16:18
lead the narrative so i just wanted to
16:20
see what you thought about that
16:22
david you want to take that man or rafa
16:25
yeah i don't know i i think i disagree
16:27
with the premise a little bit
16:29
that that there's a significant
16:31
difference in who the
16:32
audience for each of the show tv shows
16:35
are put on by networks to make money
16:38
right and so the the
16:41
ass get that clear so like the
16:44
the somebody put whatever if we're
16:47
talking about
16:48
living single or whatever you know some
16:50
somebody put all of these shows on
16:52
to uh because there was something about
16:55
it that
16:56
they realized could tap into a market
16:58
right that's a little different from why
17:00
people are creating tv shows well i
17:02
think the interesting about
17:03
writing a show that centers around black
17:07
characters now
17:08
is that we are very fortunate to live in
17:11
a time where there's
17:12
not so much of a monolithic blackness
17:15
it's really easy
17:16
not easy making tv is very hard but like
17:19
because there was a popularized version
17:22
of blackness in the 90s that you could
17:24
point to and be like that is black
17:26
that's a black show martin is a black
17:29
show that's a black show for black
17:30
people because only black looks like
17:32
that right
17:33
that was never actually true it was just
17:35
a sort of very generalized this is not
17:38
white i would argue that some of those
17:39
shows were really more in opposition to
17:41
whiteness
17:42
as they were about blackness and so what
17:44
we get the opportunity to do these days
17:46
is be
17:46
really nuanced with it and make shows
17:48
about people who happen to be black
17:50
and hopefully they don't all feel
17:52
instructional um
17:53
i hope i hope that ours doesn't it's
17:55
also not a black show it's a day show
17:57
but
17:58
uh
18:02
that's true man rafa you want to jump on
18:04
there
18:06
oh no that part that part right there my
18:08
my man just knocked that out the park
18:12
roberts
18:18
[Applause]
18:20
let's talk about so now you know blind
18:23
spotting is
18:24
at a different time now we're in a
18:26
different place how did y'all approach
18:28
setting up the series where does it pick
18:30
up from what did you do how did you
18:32
decide we're going to pick up this
18:33
series
18:34
from what point moving forward oh yeah
18:36
so so we really wanted to pick up this
18:38
show six months after the movie the
18:40
whole idea was that if you hadn't seen
18:41
the movie it didn't matter you could
18:42
just drop into this and it'd be you know
18:44
eventually the movie would just feel
18:45
like a prequel that you had
18:47
seen and we really wanted to focus on
18:49
ashley's character who plays my partner
18:51
in the movie
18:52
um and and really tell a story about you
18:55
know
18:55
when david and i got a pro we actually
18:56
got approached by lionsgate to make this
18:58
show it wasn't really our idea
19:00
and we told them no uh that we didn't
19:02
want to do a spin-off of our movie we
19:04
wanted to go do something else but
19:06
we kind of sat down and we're like well
19:08
is there any version of this show that
19:09
we would want to make
19:10
and what we really talked about is and
19:12
you know the big thing missing from the
19:14
movie because we made a movie that
19:15
started the two of us was like we didn't
19:17
really
19:18
tell much of a story about the women
19:19
that raised us the women that populate
19:21
our
19:21
our our lives and the people that we
19:23
kind of that we
19:24
that missed out on the movie because the
19:26
movie is a really small self-contained
19:28
story and we started writing it when we
19:29
were in our early 20s
19:30
so i think we said well if we go back we
19:32
really want to center it on
19:34
on ashley and then we'll build out her
19:36
world who are her friends who are her
19:37
family who are
19:39
you know some of the other characters we
19:40
can bring in from the movie that we
19:41
talked about in the movie and so we
19:43
we really wanted to drop into this story
19:45
on ashley six months later
19:47
um pile in the dip town because if you
19:49
saw the movie you know he did pull a gun
19:50
on a cop he gotta lay low
19:52
and uh and uh you know and and miles was
19:55
getting his miles was getting locked up
19:57
and we don't know why
19:59
um and we really wanted to focus this
20:00
show on what it's like when people do
20:02
get locked up how that is for the for
20:04
the rest of the family
20:05
because i know for us growing up in the
20:06
bay like a lot of my partners was going
20:08
in and out of jail all the time whether
20:10
he was at rita or clinton or or alarm
20:12
park or whatever
20:13
and we would all witness the family
20:15
going through that whether they did a
20:17
bid for two years five years 10 years
20:19
and i've never seen a show about what
20:21
it's like to be on the outside when
20:23
somebody in your life
20:24
kind of gets disappeared you know and
20:26
gets pulled away
20:27
temporarily single moms temporarily you
20:29
know families that don't have a
20:31
breadwinner
20:32
and i've never seen a show like that
20:33
some digs and i sat down and we're like
20:34
well let's tell a story about
20:36
ashley miles gets pulled away and she
20:38
got to raise her son
20:39
with miles and his family and her family
20:41
and her community and kind of see that
20:43
chosen family story that we've never
20:44
seen before
20:47
wow [ __ ] well done why am i laughing but
20:49
you
20:50
the way you explain this is serious but
20:51
i watch blind spot and i'm laughing
20:53
throughout the whole thing
20:56
that's good it's a comedy man somebody
20:58
described our show as a comedy that's
21:00
haunted and i love that [ __ ]
21:02

21:03
haunted i like that
21:05

21:11

21:14
y'all do
21:15
did y'all put her in the apartment by
21:16
the lake and made it just staying open
21:18
for a while because
21:19
yeah she's pulling it off the first time
21:24
yeah yeah she had she had the bait
21:26
training the first time she came to the
21:27
bay was when the warriors won
21:30
uh when the warriors won the series and
21:31
was at 2000 when we shoot the movie
21:33
2017.
21:35
but she came to the big warriors parade
21:36
and got like her whole sh you remember i
21:38
don't know if you remember but downtown
21:39
oakland was crazy
21:41
yeah so she came to like the craziest
21:43
sort of night
21:44
right after right after the warriors won
21:46
and she was like oh i get it y'all are
21:48
crazy like brooklyn is crazy
21:53
yeah we're we we just we're so
21:56
into our own [ __ ] the same way that
