1:55
speaking these lyrics
1:57
about the relationship with polices with
1:59
police how people are policing the black
2:00

2:02
and that was in 1992
2:05
[Music]
2:10
when you stand up you got to be prepared
2:12
for them to try to push you back down
2:14
when colin kaepernick took that knee you
2:17
got to be prepared for the impact it's
2:19
going to be a blowback when you protest
2:21
if no one's mad at the protest you're
2:23
not really protesting you're just
2:25
talking when you
2:26
when you hit that nerve and they get mad
2:29
you know you on it and yet you know
2:31
you got to be ready to weather that
2:33
storm a lot of people
2:34
shouldn't protest because they don't
2:36
want to get in trouble if they don't
2:38
want to
2:38
you know they're not cut like that you
2:40
know what i'm saying
2:42
and you know i've been on law and order
2:44
all these years and i'm still
2:45
talking crazy as i ever was because hey
2:48
you know if they got to kick me off the
2:49
show
2:50
then they got to but they not because
2:52
i'm not lying i'm telling the truth
2:54
you know what i'm saying and they
2:56
rocking with it right now back then they
2:58
wasn't you know there was no video
2:59
cameras people wasn't seeing it
3:01
so all of us me nwa public enemy
3:05
you know krs one two par everybody was
3:07
speaking on these things
3:09
we were delusional back then now
3:12
people see that you you it was almost
3:14
like profits if you will
3:16
um and when you look at what's going on
3:19
in 2021
3:20
uh makia bryant recently killed the 16
3:23
year old who was just shot down by a
3:25
police officer
3:26
uh when you look at dante dante wright
3:28
uh killed during this uh
3:30
derek chovin trial um
3:33
what do you how does it make you feel
3:35
individually
3:36
you know knowing that 30 years later the
3:39
this
3:40
nothing's changed in fact do you feel
3:41
like it's gotten worse
3:44
no no no it hasn't gotten worse just the
3:47
uh the video quality has gotten better
3:49
you know it's like it's what it is it's
3:52
it's
3:52
it's it's the get down you know uh i
3:55
think it's
3:56
changed a little bit
3:59
if you notice the recent protest
4:03
that was so multicultural there were
4:05
grandmothers out there
4:07
you know white people latino people
4:09
everybody marched together
4:11
for george floyd that's a change
4:14
that's a change that's a big improvement
4:17
so i think
4:17
right now you know the people of the
4:20
world
4:20
understand there's an issue so that's a
4:22
little change for it to be a 20-year
4:25
thing it hasn't changed that much
4:28
but there is i got to take every little
4:31
win as we can because
4:32
you know i don't want to pretend like we
4:34
staying stagnant
4:35
the cops just got to know that every
4:38
person on the street we're going to
4:40
address when they
4:42
do something wrong that's what it is i
4:44
mean
4:45
people don't get it but but the cops
4:47
profile you can i
4:48
let me just build on this the cops
4:50
profile you i've been playing a cop on
4:52
tv so what they'll do is they'll go
4:54
even on law and order they say they're
4:56
from the upper east side
4:58
which if you don't know is from the
5:00
affluent side of new york
5:01
they'll say tread lightly
5:06
excuse me that's a non-coveted sneeze
5:07
hold on
5:09
all right i was concerned
5:14
i've been trying to stay safe so don't
5:16
say tread lightly what they're saying
5:18
is those people got money they can fight
5:21
back
5:22
and they'll sue us when you go in the
5:24
hood treat them any kind of way
5:26
because they can't fight back but now
5:29
what people are proving is that
5:30
even if it's the youngest brokest kid in
5:33
the neighborhood
5:34
we as people are not going to allow that
5:37
to happen so now the blowout is coming
5:40
from the rich
5:41
and it's coming from the poor and that's
5:44
what's necessary
5:45
so the police know you better treat
5:47
everybody
5:48
like it's gonna be a problem if we act
5:51
you know if we act out and do something
5:53
wrong i'm watching this stuff it's it's
5:55
hard to believe i just watched the lady
5:57
who act like she grabbed the taser
5:59
and you see the glock floating all in
6:00
the picture i'm like really
6:02
like it's it's it's mind-boggling and
6:06
it's i guess i
6:07
all i could say sway it's sad man it's
6:10
sad you would think there would be some
6:11
type of change right now
6:13
yeah um yeah man um ice tea is here the
6:17
woman you were talking about was kim
6:19
potter who has since retired
6:21
um that that that that uh shot dante
6:25
wright and so we have ice t is here man
6:28
this equal standard
6:29
movie your executive producer uh talk
6:32
about this movie
6:34
and it just seems so timely right now
6:36
and and being an ep
6:38
um how is that different for you and
6:39
then why this project
6:42
okay it starts with tyene bryant the
6:45
writer director the brain behind this
6:47
whole thing
6:48
he's a young cat out of queens i met him
6:50
we were working on a project he had
6:52
called southside
6:53
and then one night he called me said i
6:55
just wrote this movie
6:56
i'm like you wrote a movie last night he
6:58
said yeah i was
7:00
a song got in my head and i just wrote
7:02
this movie it's called equal said
7:04
i'm like i want to read it i read it i'm
7:07
like this is dope
7:08
it's dope because it's gray it shows a
7:11
police shooting
7:13
but from every direction from the cop
7:15
side from their family
7:17
side from one brother in the fa in the
7:20
family that's kind of racist another one
7:22
that's not
7:23
uh the gang side stretches in it fred
7:25
rose in it
7:26
you know uh and i was like
7:30
it's dope so then he says i need you to
7:32
executive produce it
7:34
now tying came at me like a player said
7:36
i'll never
7:37
ask you like i will never ask you for a
7:40
dollar
7:41
i just need the game right then i knew
7:43
he was a player
7:44
right then because the game is way more
7:46
valuable than a handout you did
7:48
so i was like all right i'm in by him
7:51
using me as exec
7:52
it was enabled him to make this movie
7:54
right so then he calls me one day i told
7:57
him i said we couldn't get it funded
7:59
and he said he didn't want no money for
8:00
me so i told him i said look man
8:03
nobody wakes up every morning with your
8:05
dream
8:06
even though i'm with you it's not my
8:08
dream it's your dream
8:10
you're gonna have to pull this one off
8:12
about a month later he called me so i
8:13
got the money
8:14
i'm like what you mean you got the money
8:16
i got the money to make the movie
8:18
i'm like now i'm a player i'm not gonna
8:20
ask you where you got the money if you
8:22
got the money you got the money right
8:24
okay
8:28
okay now you got some in it you need any
8:31
help know what i
8:32
i'm mad at my word i i don't want
8:34
nothing so
8:35
we go out we start getting people on it
8:37
then he hits me
8:38
i need you to act i'm like act
8:41
he goes yeah because if people know
8:43
you're in the movie i could get more
8:44
actors willing to get in
8:46
i'm like why ain't playing a cop so he
8:49
said you're going to be playing far from
8:50
a cop so i'm the leader of the [ __ ]
8:54
wow i'm the leader of the [ __ ] the crypt
8:57
set
8:58
and we shot the movie and the movie came
9:02
out incredible we screened it and this
9:04
and the third
9:05
but people out there think oh because i
9:07

you can get it out there it is difficult
9:10
to get movies
9:12
out it's hard i don't care who you got
9:14
it cost tons and tons of money
9:16
when you see these movies in the
9:17

9:29
this is an
9:29
indie we finally got a place for

14:12
every single year we end up in
14:14
conversation about
14:16
the value of an award especially now
14:19
and you see artists as huge as the
14:21
weekend saying you know what
14:23
nah i don't want to deal with this i
14:24
don't need the validation i'm not
14:26
defined by it um what has your
14:29
relationship been
14:30
like when it comes with awards in
14:32
general you know when you first won back
14:34
in
14:34
1991 is that feeling the same as winning
14:38
in 2021
14:40
i mean you know awards is funny to me
14:43
you know because
14:44
i'm like i'm that guy i'm that guy like
14:46
hey the hell were the awards
14:48

14:50
guy okay and then i'm like uh i'm

15:10
announce it like
15:11
it's not it's just what it is you know
15:14
let that be your feelings
15:15

16:37
every day that was my go-to
16:39
song man it worked come on that's big
16:42
facts
16:43
oh another level became our motivational
16:45
that was our motivational anthem for
16:47
a long time man iced tea is here
16:50
go ahead t go ahead no no i mean listen
16:53
listen listen it's music and music is
16:56
for the beholder you know there's people
16:58
that like
16:59
different types of music and you just
17:00
put it out there and you hope you find a
17:02
fan base and people that dig it
17:04
so the fact that y'all found that record
17:06
was something for you that was beautiful
17:08
man that's what this is about man
17:10
you don't chase the audience you put the
17:12
music out there and let them come to you
17:14
that's why people copy each other so
17:17
much because they're chasing
17:18
other people's audience don't do that
17:21
watch what everyone else is doing and
17:22
don't do that
17:24
if you want to be original do something
17:26
that's not being done
17:28
whoa that's a moment of silence right
17:30
there damn you just twisted up everybody
17:33
95 percent of the artists in the game
17:35
just got twisted with that one comment
17:38
all right they're not going to pay
17:40
attention because it's so much easier
17:42
to duplicate other people it's that's so
17:45
easy to do
17:46
you know but to be just i'm just gonna
17:49

congratulations on your metamorphosis

your career
18:27
and i want to know how do you deal with
18:30
people
18:30
maybe looking at you different because
18:32
you play a cop coming from the gang
18:35
team and the truth miraculously we got
18:38
trees going on thank god
18:40
and how are we going to deal with these
18:42
cops even though we might have got a
18:45
verdict and everything they're going to
18:47
cushy resort jails man
18:49
put them in the jails that they put us
18:51
in
18:53
absolutely well as far as people looking
18:55
at me crazy because i played a cop
18:56
the only time i really worried about
18:58
that was way back in new jack city
19:01
you know that's when i'm dropping a an
19:03
album called original gangster
19:04
but i had the op the opportunity to be
19:07
in new jack city
19:09
i went for it you know they wanted me to
19:11
play a cop if i hadn't
19:13
done that that would have been the
19:14
biggest mistake of my life
19:16
you know and what i realized is that p
19:18
now intelligent people understand
19:20
acting they understand and every rapper
19:23
you ever liked has played a cop
19:25
tupac played a cop dress played a cop
19:27
everybody's played a cop snoop played a
19:29
snitch
19:30
you know in a wheelchair you know so
19:32
acting is
19:33
acting and i don't have any problems
19:36
mostly
19:36
you know i've never had a street hustler
19:38
no real street
19:39
g come up to me and say anything about
19:42
me playing a cop they say get that bag
19:44
my [ __ ]
19:45
[Laughter]
19:50
squares always oh you lost your hood
19:53
pass i'm like they ain't never had a
19:54
hood pad my hood pants is platinum jack
19:57
you know getting encrusted in diamonds
19:59
jack don't worry about me worry about
20:01
earthquakes player
20:02
so as far as the way these
20:18
so they the cops you know they got to be
20:20
found guilty i mean it's it's
20:22
they found guilty now we got to get to
20:24
the sentencing part
20:26
i mean we got to take this in baby steps
20:29
you understand you know let's get some
20:31
guilty verdicts under it you know i was
20:33
blown away
20:34
by zimmerman i was blown away by rihanna
20:37
you know
20:37
in the bed how do you die so this might
20:40
be a turning point so let's work off of
20:42
this
20:42
you know let's work off this the beauty
20:44
of this conviction
20:47
the cops testified against him which was
20:50
the dropping of the blue wall
20:52
so right now i think they're going to
20:54
start sacrificing these cops
20:56
because even in the gang world that's
20:58
bad for business player
21:00
you you want to be a bad cop you take
21:02
somebody down an alley and kill him you
21:04
don't kill him on a
21:05
national television with cameras going
21:07
are you crazy you got to get double
21:09
tapped in the back of the head you
21:10
making us look bad
21:12
so they about to sacrifice a lot of
21:14
these cops
21:15
on gp you know and that's all we want
21:18
that's a start
21:19
that's a start he wasn't worth saving
21:22
he's nobody
21:23
he got it you know that was the gangster
21:25
stuff when they testified against him
21:27
i'm like oh here we go this is this is
21:30
this is
21:31
so he's going to prison he probably
21:33
won't get out they're not going to mess
21:34
up now in the sentence and they're going
21:36
to give it to him watch him he's going
21:37
to get it
21:38

you making this up from so
24:34
i don't got no problems with it i got
24:35
nothing but love from la i've done my
24:37
best
24:38
to try to stay gang neutral you know
24:40
when i came out
24:41
you know i i grew up at crenshaw so i
24:43
was in the 60 neighborhood i'm not a
24:46
gang member
24:47
but i grew up but it was not to my
24:48
benefit to claim any set
24:50
because i was dealing with bloods i was
24:52
dealing with the cats and the pueblos
24:54
the cats and the pj watts and imperial
24:57
excuse me imperial courts bounty hunters
24:59
you know vanessa grimm
25:01
so i'm well we're known like they say my
25:04
player buddy kenny ivey said ice your
25:06
world would now
25:06
internationally known and locally
25:08
accepted man that's what's up
25:10
there it is man ice team man we talking
25:12
about equal stander
25:13
is in theaters may 7. i know you got to
25:15
go tracy you want to ask them one quick
25:17
question
25:18
yeah i'm wondering who you think in the
25:21
hip hop game
25:22
is the most replicated duplicated jacked
25:26
rapper or group this is off of um
25:28
something
25:30
that david banner said he felt like
25:31
migos
25:33
really has been copy and pasted plenty
25:35
of times and since she was mentioning
25:37
that earlier i wanted to know your
25:38
opinion
25:41
that's interesting i probably might have
25:44
to agree with david banner because
25:46
migos came with that different kind of
25:48
flow
25:49
that is pretty intricate one thing about
25:52
it i i like amigos because if you really
25:54
decode what they say and they actually
25:56
saying something
25:57
so you know they stepped away from the
25:59
mumble stuff
26:00
to just making an intricate pattern like
26:03
you know
26:03
uh um damn bone thugs had one when they
26:07
came out which was unique
26:08
but um it's complicated i mean honestly
26:13
right now
26:13
i just i mean i'm about to sound like an
26:16
old man but
26:17
there's so many damn rappers i don't
26:19
know who every time there's somebody
26:21
else
26:22
and the crazy part is if if you watch
26:25
them if you see a picture of them they
26:27
all look like they're doing great
26:29
i'm like you know back in the day you
26:31
can have a couple of stars
26:33
and then everyone is trying to get put
26:35
on these cats have one single
26:37
and they look like they just balling out
26:39
of this world i mean
26:40
i got five lambo trucks i'm like who are
26:42
you
26:44
i'm like what how the hell did you do so
26:46
it's a lot of mystery
26:53
said that same thing too hey
26:56
hey you know what hey i i i i got a nine
26:59
to five i pay my taxes you know what i'm
27:01
saying so you know the fbi can run up in
27:04
me i'm good
27:05
dig me you know i'm saying i haven't
27:06
been checking before by the government
27:08
about
27:08
where this paper came from i'm good with
27:10
it i already know
27:12
but i i i i just know that to step away
27:16
from the crowd
27:17
that's all i'm saying you got to be a
27:18
little bit more unique
27:20
and that's why you have a j cole that's
27:22
why you have a kendrick lamar
27:23
it's a little it's something special and
27:26
different that separates them
27:28
from the pack so to speak and that's
27:30
important
27:31
ice tea ladies and gentlemen
27:36
go ahead yeah okay fred gibbs
27:40
freddie gibbs out of la they they're
27:42
