wait you know what I'm saying they're
2:56
the ones and they even you know we'll go
2:58

3:00
just like in general like we did a
3:02

3:10
that they do is always the Benji the
3:13
Benji joint you know I'm saying that's
3:14
where we really connected to it was
3:16
crazy it was everything they do is
3:20
better and ahead of everybody else okay
3:23
and they've been doing and they do it
3:25
silently and they do it with Grace and
3:27
just like you can't find somebody who
3:29
has something bad to say
3:30
do y'all did y'all get a chance to kind
3:33
of like fraternize on the come up like
3:36
yo man I was working with this one
3:38
Studio this is what they did to me
3:39
really be careful this person did you
3:41
ever swaps we talked several times so
3:43
what kind of stuff as up and coming you
3:46
know filmmakers writers producers what
3:48
kind of things did y'all encounter
3:50
I mean I got a lot of questions for
3:52
Kenya though okay
3:56
because his success is uh you know it's
4:00
it's
4:01
he been doing he's doing it you know
4:03
what I mean he stay humble and he you
4:05
know look out for other filmmakers so
4:07
man I I commend this dude right here
4:09
being so
4:11
um
4:11
motivated black Kenya you you still you
4:16
know regardless of how discriminatory
4:19
the business can be you have still risen
4:21
to the top right as far as we can see
4:24
right right I'm not there
4:27
yeah was it especially harder or you
4:30
just just look straight ahead I think
4:34
you know you can speak I think that
4:35
right sure excuse me I think right now
4:39
it's a crazy time for us you know I'm
4:41
saying that we get we're getting
4:42
opportunity where people wanna you know
4:45
I'm saying here we have to say and want
4:47
to I want it to be authentic you know
4:49
I'm saying I think the idea of is so
4:52
many talented people who are getting
4:54
finally getting their chances you know
4:56
I'm saying when I when I saw genius and
4:58
I know what what these brothers have
5:00
been doing I'm saying and I was looking
5:02
up and like docs of the new Bitcoin yeah
5:04
yeah I'm saying stocks are the new big
5:06
guy
5:12
you know when you're you know what you
5:15
can own take keep your IP sell and make
5:19
you know X time you know what I'm saying
5:21
five times six times what you put into
5:23
it that gives you power and that gives
5:25
you resources to go do something else
5:27
and these brothers been doing it he had
5:29
no idea when he was doing that was gonna
5:31
happen yeah I'm saying and that this
5:33
time was going to come out and I don't
5:34
know how long it stays around you know
5:36
I'm saying but I know right now Compton
5:38
is king and the decent business and we
5:41
couldn't own the content because it was
5:42
too expensive to own but now you can go
5:45
and you can make a dock for a hundred
5:47
thousand million dollars you know I'm
5:48
saying Billy Allen sold for 35 30
5:50
million 28 million dollars I won't speak
5:53
on my man who's got that bag now
5:56
you said that yesterday
6:00
in general the idea we can own our own
6:04
you know IP
6:05
I think that that makes it that changes
6:07
and I think what the streamers needing
6:09
content needing content needed content
6:11
they can't they just be able to pay you
6:13
a fee and the fee was good now we can
6:15
say you know what I think I'm gonna hold
6:16
on to this and I'm gonna I'm gonna take
6:18
this and and I I'll see you on the back
6:21
end and I think that that gives us power
6:23
so I think that's a that's a new new
6:25
place for us can you embarrass uh Tracy
6:27
you got a quick question oh yeah
6:28
absolutely I mean Kenya there's so many
6:30
reasons to Salute You obviously you're
6:32
such a stunning form of representation
6:34
for us in this industry I appreciate
6:36
that and I also feel like you have such
6:38
a deep reverence for black women
6:39
obviously you make so many shows that
6:41
our entire Community can get hooked on
6:43
but when I think about girls trip
6:46
um when I think about the game there's
6:48
so much that you have created where I've
6:50
seen all the different versions of
6:52
myself and all of these characters like
6:55
can you just speak on your relationship
6:57
with the black woman and why she is at
6:59
the center of so much of your work I
7:01
mean that's that's who raised us right
7:03
yeah I'm saying I got cool with my dad
7:05
later but he wasn't really around and
7:08
I'm saying it was my mom my grandmother
7:09
my sisters you know the community around
7:12
you I'm saying that was that's what you
7:13
you know I was talking about this about
7:15
a barber shop the barber shop meant so
7:17
much for a lot of us because it was
7:20
single moms that was the only place she
7:22
really went and it was like a dude who
7:23
had a job yeah was gonna be there when
7:25
he said he was going to be there on time
7:29
yeah shot some game to you like that I'm
7:32
saying there wasn't a lot of like you
7:34
know positive
7:35
unfortunately I think that has changed I
7:37
think it's completely changed I think
7:38
black fathers now are I think it's
7:40
exceptional yeah it's actually we've got
7:43
more retirement because because of that
7:45
so I think you know the idea what black
7:47
women for me are that's that's what you
7:50
know that's what made us who we are I
7:52
love that DB yeah this question is
7:54
actually for uh for everybody as a
7:56
matter of fact because sway you and Jay
7:57
Ivy touched on it previously about the
7:59
messaging and the words that we use in
8:02
the content that we're digesting and uh
8:04
my question really revolves around you
8:06
know you can make the argument for we
8:09
need to diversify as much content as we
8:10
can so that we get to tell our stories
8:12
good bad and in between but then there's
8:14
also the influence and the impact that
8:16
it has on you know easily uh influential
8:19
people you know what I mean like if you
8:20
put violent stuff out there it might
8:22
make them think violent thoughts if you
8:24
put songs about murder and rap and all
8:26
that you know what I mean it's going to
8:27
create a negative sort of uh uh idea in
8:30
your head so how do you balance being
8:33
able to tell our stories the way we want
8:34
to and you know from the good and the
8:36
bad like I said in between but also try
8:38
to not put stuff out there that's so
8:40
negative and and can have that influence
8:43
on the youth and whoever else might be
8:45
influenced by it
8:47
I I think it's exactly what she said I
8:49
think it's balance you know I'm saying I
8:50
feel like
8:52
one for them one for me you know what
8:54
I'm saying I feel like sometimes I want
8:55
to make sure that we do something and
8:57
talks about families and it talks about
8:58
sometimes but I do also feel like you
9:01
know there is a whole when someone go
9:03
see the Irishman
9:04
I'm like this should be the end of the
9:06
Italian gangster movie you know I'm
9:08
saying like we've watched this for 45
9:10
years yeah I'm saying like and when you
9:12
think about what what gang culture is
9:14
like you think about you know Mexican
9:16
gangs Latin gangs black and I'm like it
9:19
doesn't have to glorify them these are
9:21
people who are in their communities were
9:22
you know these were Heroes and somebody
9:24
this is what they were doing I'm like
9:25
why are we not telling these stories and
9:27
tell them at the same level of Scorsese
9:30
tell them the same level of Coppola why
9:31
are we not actually getting into with
9:33
these you know these communities and I
9:35
feel like you know because we're so
9:36
afraid of being like without my glorify
9:38
this I'm like was that glorifying the
9:40
God was that glorifying the Italian
9:42
month that was telling a true story The
9:44
fellas a good Fellas that was
9:45
entrepreneurs everything so I feel like
9:47
I want to do it all but I feel like the
9:49
thing that I really feel like we're at
9:51
the point now is
9:52
for so long our execution because we
9:54
weren't given the budgets we weren't
9:56
having the training our execution wasn't
9:59
at the level where we could say this is
10:00
a movie about us before everybody I feel
10:03
like now we got this we got we
10:05
understand we got brothers who can
10:06
actually put it in the frame we're just
10:08
talking about color correct we weren't
10:10
talking about color correction
10:12
shout out to Citizen chance she's doing
10:15
color correction for a shine documentary
10:17
with Showbiz and myself and Jenny I got
10:19
to say names yeah for sure right you got
10:22
to you
10:24
I feel like but like we literally We Now
10:27
can do things I feel like we can expand
10:30
the gamut you know what I'm saying and I
10:32
feel like you know it's not just about
10:33
church we don't have to just do Church
10:35
stuff we don't have to people you know
10:37
give Tyler you know Tyler has a lane
10:39
Tyler's my brother Tyler taught me a lot
10:41
in terms of business and not Lane he
10:43
told me very much so like I remember
10:45
walking into my mom and I would be
10:47
watching those on VHS you know watching
10:49
those plays the Medea plays and I'm like
10:51
what is this I'm saying and somebody
10:53
told me
10:54
you know I remember when I was on the
10:56
game
10:57
the game broke every record for
10:59
viewership right and every year as a
11:01
writer you'd have to go for a staffing
11:02
meeting and I went in a staffing meeting
11:04
and one of the executives was a pretty
11:06
television actors was like what show you
11:07
when I was like the game I never heard
11:09
of him like you never heard the show
11:10
that broke all the records you know
11:12
saying that and in the business that
11:14
you're in because it didn't matter
11:15
because our numbers didn't count I'm
11:18
saying and so I feel like that is now
11:20
changing I think that is what for me all
11:23
of this when I look and I see you know
11:25
my brother's doing stuff and I see which
11:26
the idea that what we do
11:29
it's about execution right now we can't
11:30
just keep you know saying like well so
11:33
I'll support everything black I do
11:34
support everything in Black but
11:35
sometimes I'll pull you aside like yo
11:36
that ain't here bro hello
11:43
the mouse didn't match you know what I'm
11:45
saying anyway yeah what the mouth wasn't
11:47
in sync who did your color correction
11:52
um this uh real quick Intergalactic
11:55
um is about a a a artist by the name of
11:58
uh Jabari who's on the cusp of success
12:01
and then he he meets um Jessica's
12:04
character and has to decide you know
12:07
damn [ __ ] I'm you know I'm popping right
12:09
now then do I have time do I have time
12:11
and isn't that what we all gone through
12:13
especially in the black community you
12:15
know when I think NASA sleeper beater
12:18
yeah and then so we've been grinding 24
12:21
7 and then someone like me who's grinded
12:24
for decades sometimes I look back and I
12:27
often use this as a this is a true story
12:28
don't I go home to Oakland sometimes I
12:31
look at the photo albums and for years
12:33
I'm not in any of the photos
12:35
because I'm working so hard and I'm
12:37
thinking I'm working for family yeah but
12:39
now I'm not spending time with family
12:41
right did you ever deal with that
12:43
personally bro I I literally you know
12:48
it's the the worst part about all this
12:50
about any type of success is there's not
12:53
a lot of
12:55
people who've done what I've done you
12:56
know and been successful unfortunately
12:58
who look like me
13:00
when we were going through the like the
13:01
divorce the you know saying that this
13:03
you know just recently it was like
13:05
divorce just again you know I'm saying
13:07
like that was hard because I have kids
13:09
and all that stuff and I realized that
13:12
was me
13:13
first time getting success
13:16
cheating not being there not doing what
13:19
I'm supposed to do you know I'm saying
13:21
blaming this person you know blaming her
13:23
but like really legitimately not being
13:25
where I'm supposed to be and realizing
13:27
that I'm missing out on the real moments
13:30
of what you know saying all this stuff
13:31
was supposed to be for was family you
13:34
know what I'm saying and like realizing
13:35
that I was you know having to like find
13:37
myself like be wrong and say I'm sorry
13:39
and like do this but at the same time no
13:42
I still got to get up and go grind and
13:44
with that grind like this we're all
13:46
first generation successful for a lot of
13:48
times absolutely and you're not I'm
13:49
saying I told somebody it was like uh
13:51
you know like messing around I was like
13:53
it's really easy not to [ __ ] somebody
13:55
when nobody's trying to [ __ ] you you
13:56
know what I'm saying
13:59
and I'm like I never realized that until
14:02
they start trying to [ __ ] yeah I'm
14:04
saying and people have like I was like I
14:06
was like I never realized that you know
14:09
saying thing especially for a writer
14:11
you're not thinking that you know what
14:12
I'm saying you ain't getting no groupies
14:13
I wasn't supposed to be what it was and
14:16
I feel like so all those not being in
14:18
the pictures you know I'm saying all
14:20
those things like that I feel like yeah
14:22
like I send apologies to
14:25
my wife's my kids to my family to my
14:28
friends to because you are so in the
14:31
grind that sometimes you don't pick up
14:33
the phone and just check in sometimes
14:36
you don't you know you know take the
14:37
moment to take accountability sometimes
14:39
you don't do the things that you're
14:40
supposed to do you know I'm saying so I
14:41
feel like those are the things that I
14:43
feel like success they don't that first
14:45
generation doesn't teach you yeah it
14:47
doesn't right and I feel like so with
14:48
Jabari it is it's even more right now
14:53
significant because at 25 you're trying
14:56
to you know you're supposed to be
14:58
successful 25 30. you're supposed to
15:00
already have been a millionaire already
15:01
have made it you know I'm saying yes
15:03
it's it it's social media and all that
15:05
stuff has sped up the process so much so
15:07
you know it's a classic rom-com it's
15:10
classic Love Story guy gets girl God
15:11
loses girl guy gets girl back but it's
15:13
it's taking and it's taking Love Jones
15:15
and those things that we love and
15:16
putting in a contemporary way and I feel
15:19
like that to me is something that I
15:23
um I was really you know lucky to be a
15:24
part of and I think in moving forward
15:26
relationships all that type of stuff I'm
15:29
looking at how I can see myself
15:31
differently you know I'm saying I'm
15:33
really taking therapy therapy was
15:34
something I never I never done I was
15:36
tore up until I did not until you do it
15:38
and then when you do it you're like why
15:39
didn't when he was growing up you know
15:41
it was go take a bath go to church like
15:43
it wasn't about go talk to somebody
15:45
about your problems you know I'm saying
15:47
go explain yourself go actually see what
15:50
you know patterns you have what part you
15:52
played in this I'm saying how you can
15:54
change what tools you might need to
15:56
communicate differently like so I feel
15:57
like that all that type of stuff is
15:59
things that I feel like we are very new
16:01
to did your your family forgive you when
16:04
you apologized
16:06
um it's a constant apology yeah it's a
16:09
lifelong apology right and that's why
16:12
you keep stack that's why for me it's
16:14
breaking up getting back together
16:15
because the idea of like people don't
16:19
understand I don't even understand like
16:20
the idea of it's not just about
16:23
making it or or or forgiving it's about
16:26
you know there's water gets under the
16:28
bridge yeah it's like you having to
16:30
accept this you haven't accept that you
16:32
know what I'm saying I feel like um my
16:35
kid's mom clone my phone
16:37
and I was like oh no wow [ __ ] what does
16:41
that mean oh no
16:42
um what does that mean
16:44
I left somehow and this is just so y'all
16:47
some I I think I have not figured I
16:50
think I left
16:52
on the uh Apple TV yeah I think I made
16:56
it so you don't have to like put your
16:58
code in every time yeah and and I left
17:03
where I arguing whatever now and I left
17:05
not this was like oh oh no oh no and it
17:10
was like she started because she started
17:11
saying specific things I'm like how
17:13
could you possibly
17:15
yeah I cannot but I was like the idea of
17:19
like phones have gotten more people more
17:20
troubles whatever but with that being
17:23
said sometimes I getting all that out
17:25
you know what I'm saying you were
17:26
relieved I mean I had a conversation one
17:28
of my Idols you know I'm saying like and
17:30
he told me him and his wife was doing
17:32
something he said they went to a
17:34
therapist and the therapist said the
17:35
only way that this is ever going to work
17:37
is they had to practice 100 honesty yeah
17:39
yeah I'm saying it's somebody we all
17:41
know about like I they were going
17:42
through like a very public thing and I
17:44
was like 100 honesty it's like must've
17:46
been crazy for you he was like yo you
17:48
think is a dude it's gonna be crazy for
17:50
you he was like Europe never heard
17:52
anything to your girls 100 honest with
17:54
you oh [ __ ] about how you look when you
17:58
look how she looks at you when you go to
17:59
sleep you know what I'm saying how you
18:01
got food in your mouth you know I'm
18:02
saying like the idea of like just you
18:04
know who she like you know be hearing
18:06
that men don't aren't built for that
18:08
yeah we're not yeah
18:10
it says that all the time doesn't have
18:14
to say that time but you're happy you
18:16
went through it
18:18
um I'm going going through it I'm still
18:20
going through it but I feel like life is
18:21
a series of you know it's it's it's the
18:25
journey not the destination yes so I'm
18:27
still going through the Journey and I
18:28
think it does in some aspects for me I
18:30
put that into my writing I'm saying I
18:32
try to be really self-deprecating and
18:34
really be honest and talk about what's
18:36
happening and all that type of stuff and
18:37
sometimes that it causes you know the
18:40
the blue birds come out and they have
18:42
something to say and all this type of
18:44
stuff I feel like as long as I feel like
18:45
to me for me you know I'm saying and for
18:48
my I'm being as honest as I can be I
18:50
feel like I just have to kind of lay in
18:52
that so there's a little bit of Kenya in
18:54
Jabari just a little bit of Kenya
18:56
there's a lot of cutting a lot of
18:58
cutting there's a lot of cutting there's
18:59
a lot of all of us you know what I'm
19:01
saying like that notion of like every
19:03
time you think you're you're done with
19:05
your ex you know what I'm saying you
19:06
meet someone why does she pop up you
19:09
know I'm saying looking better than ever
19:11
you know what I'm saying right when
19:12
you're like why did she pop up you know
19:14
I'm saying so like that moment is
19:15
happening for him you know what I'm
19:17
saying and all that's going on and
19:19
choices as he's having you know he's an
19:21
ambitious dude so I feel like it's a
19:23
it's we're trying to tell a story that
19:24
feels really specific you know to that
19:27
to these characters but at the same time
19:28
I found out that the specific speaks to
19:30
the universal
19:32
everybody everyone in this room if you
19:34
tell your story it's amazing it's just
19:37
how you choose and what point you choose
19:40
to tell that story yeah and I feel like
19:42
that's the thing that people I I'll try
19:44
to Young Writers your story I don't even
19:45
need to know you you have an amazing
19:47
story it's just how you choose to let
19:50
the world see that story can you
19:52
embarrass real quick because I know you
19:54
gotta go
19:55
um I feel like just like a he mentioned
19:57
Kid Cudi and I'm just looking at the
19:59
connection here Kanye jivy booty you
20:02
know Jay's in the building
20:04
okay uh Cuddy man I love cutting cuties
20:09
cutie something else man pretty special
20:11
I tell people the way I got where I
20:14
hooked up with cutie Cutie my daughter
20:16
of six kids three at my three three
20:18
three oldest girls three years boys my
20:21
second daughter who never asked for
20:22
anything because she doesn't want to act
20:23
she was like she's the head of a BSU at
20:25
like this kind of white school school
20:27
Harvard Westlake and she was like do you
20:30
think you can ask Cuddy if he'll come
20:31
speak at the BSU and I was like I don't
20:33
really know him like that I was like I
20:35
can ask I thought it was gonna be a
20:37
quick knowing and bro said yeah and I
20:39
was like oh [ __ ] I was like I really
20:40
appreciate that now it's 20 of them they
20:43
moved it into the auditorium it was 1500
20:45
kids mostly right mostly white and
20:48
they're crying talking to him they're
20:50
like you changed my life you know what
20:52
I'm saying I was so different and I'm
20:53
like I'm sitting there looking back like
20:54
what's going on I'm saying and I started
20:57
realizing I like like hoodie music but I
20:59
didn't realize he like that whole emo
21:02
rap that whole the idea of sort of like
21:04
talking about mental health talking
21:05
about depression talking about love that
21:07
the melodic sort of thing he was so
21:10
inspirational you know what I'm saying
21:12
I've heard that Travis Scott is Travis
21:15
Scott because of Scott muscati the Scott
21:16
in Travis Scott yeah he was so
21:18
inspirational to a very you know Katie's
21:21
not that young he just looks young I'm
21:23
saying but he has his his scope spans so
21:27
far I'm saying he's so smart and so and
21:30
you know very interesting dude so I feel
21:31
like the idea that when he wanted to do
21:34
it he was like I want to do something
21:35
about love and he brought us in the
21:37
studio and those reference speakers
21:38
started playing he played one song I'm
21:40
like I know what it is and we started
21:42
talking we need him to start vibing we
21:44
were like you could just hear it was so
21:46
visual the way that he you know makes
21:48
music and things like that and so I feel
21:49
like it was
21:50
you know it is
21:52
it was it was amazing I I hope one day
21:55
him and Kanye you know I don't know what
21:57
