I know you didn't just say you 'bout to jump in your ride.

That is not your ride boy,

that is not your ride.

- What'd you try to say man? - That is not your ride.

- I said it's my ride. - Okay, that is not your ride.

We know who's ride that is, Karen's.

She takes care of me and I take care of her. You feel me?

- You found my charger bro? - Yeah.

Word.

I have done now I just like the pub.

Here's your keys.

It's cold outside.

- Not to get off track, back to that prayer shit

you was doing.

- Do you say prayers all the time at your house?

- No, I don't. But I figured is something that we should do.

Give thanks for this blessings that we got.

You know what I mean, trying something new,

take a new approach.

New approach of what?

Life.

- Like those tattoos. - Yeah, something different.

Shit, tell you the truth.

If I could take them off, I probably would.

Now y'all hold on there.

I see the looks on you guys' faces.

Don't go judging them.

Cause even Big Papa need a little church.

Well, mainly because his daddy, the pastor

and his mama, well she the first lady

and Big Papa knew Sunday was a day for giving.

So, hallelujah...

go on with your bad self, Big Papa.

Let who is without sin,

cast the first stone.

I wanna leave you with a final blessing,

from the first lady.

She has an insight into the needs for prayer,

for the young entrepreneurs we have in here

who are about to go do it.

And they have our blessing and our backing.

And the first lady is going to bless you

with an anointed prayer.

If anybody has anything to say

in reference to what the pastor has said

about let he who is without sin, cast the first stone,

please stand and make any comment that you feel necessary.

Anyone? Please feel free you're invited.

We want to hear what you have to say.

You know what?

I really didn't even wanna come in here.

I didn't believe in this...

Excuse me. - Yes.

- I don't believe in these things, these stuff,

but like what the pastor was talking about,

like I caught on to that, like,

you know, I've lived a crazy life

and I'm trying, I am.

I am gonna make a change.

- Amen. - Amen

- I'm not gonna try. - Amen.

Amen.

Yo, what the fuck are you doing?

Lets get the fuck out of here, man, what're you doing?

- I have no gain in that. There's no gain in that.

- Nothing to win there, no. - No future brother.

- No future at all. - Who's gonna teach my kids

if I'm not there to teach 'em?

- You need to be there, brother.

- And I never understood that about judging people

and stuff, I like, what is all that "Thou shall not judge. "

Like, I never understood that.

But from what the pastor said today, I think I get it now.

It's gonna make my back heavy to worry

about judging somebody else.

So can we say that prayer?

I really don't know how to say one

but I figured maybe you do.

Yeah, my pops is a pastor.

It's very important to recall,

to keep in mind that you are not here

to see how much sex you can have.

You're not here to see how much dope you can do.

Or how much alcohol you can drink.

Now I'm not making a moral judgment on those things.

I'm simply saying to you that that's not your purpose.

You're here to bring about an increase of good.

An increase of God first in your life,

and then in the lives of those around you.

You know, once you become full of the feeling,

once you become fulfilled, it just oozes out of you.

- Amen, pastor. - Amen, whatever you full of

will ooze from you.

- Amen. - Whatever you're full of.

Sometimes what you're full of oozes from you so loudly

that the folks you're dealing with can't even hear

what you're saying. - Hallelujah.

- Beware, beware. - Hallelujah.

But more importantly, she has a connection with the divine,

that will ensure that your endeavors are blessed.

Yeah I know how to say a prayer.

I mean, we done eating now.

- Is that the only way you do it is before the meal?

Can't we do it after?

Feels like family to me. You know what I mean?

Like something we should do.

This feels like family to you?

Yeah.

You must have had a fucked up life.

Maybe I did.

Wash my hands real quick.

- Y'all need to get over here, man. He wants me to pray.

- All right, I'm just gonna wash my hands real fast.

Oh yes, Oh!

Oh, look at that.

Oh nice and easy, there you go.

Oh yes, I love church.

Oh!

Oh yes,

oh.

- Are you sure this is what the pastor meant,

when he said, let it flow?

- Oh yes, yes. Let it flow, let it ooze from your soul.

Can you keep a secret?

Yeah.

- The pastor, - Uh-huh.

He's my daddy.

Oh, Yeah.

I knew from the moment I walked in the church

I knew right and there,

the moment I saw you,

it was love at first sight, oh.

Really?

Yeah, really

Oh, oh,

oh yes.

Oh yes, nice and slow.

Take your time.

Oh, make it last.

Yes, oh, uh-huh, take it deeper.

Oh, yes.

oh, yes deeper.

No, Take your time. Oh, nice and slow.

Can you take it all for me?

You can? - Mm-mm.

Oh yes, take it all. Oh, that's right.

Oh, keep going.

Oh yes.

Oh!

Oh, girl, I think I'm gonna cum.

Oh,

oh yes.

Oh yes.

Oh yes. That's love right there.

Oh yes.

- You sure they can't see us through these windows?

Girl I know what you do for a living.

There's no way I would jeopardize your reputation.

Oh, oh yes.

Oh yes I'm gonna cum. Here

Hallelujah!

Dear God, I wanna thank you for...

Yo man, If I'ma say a prayer, I say it my way.

So if y'all don't like, I don't know what to tell you man.

God, I don't know what to say. We're going to Cali.

We together, I guess you have a plan,

at least that's what they say, that's why we're here.

And we all from the streets,

none of us trying to play hard or anything,

because it was truly hard I guess we wouldn't never

really spent any time in jail.

So if we hard, we stupid hard. I wanna be smart hard.

I wanna go get that contract.

It really, it's not about the money, man.

It's just that, I want people to know my story.

I'ma make a movie, it's a story.

And I want my story to be shared with everyone.

As with your music,

I appreciate your music. Your acting is over the top, man.

I don't really even like you at all, to be honest with you.

And I can't stand him.

But we here which is kind of weird.

And you say you wanna pray.

So we pray.

I hope he bless us, watch over us, get us to LA,

I hope we don't have to do what we do.

Do it different, I guess, like you say.

Do it right, I guess, as right as we can.

I guess what you say is leave the violence aside,

change, so God please help me change

because sometimes I get a little lost,

and the world can be cruel.

So God please help me be a better me

and get us all there safe,

and get this boy back to Mexico,

so he can go speak Spanish to his people

in Jesus Christ's name I pray, Amen.

Amen.

- I gotta do this man. What's your shirt say?

Why don't you give me that camera bro?

- All right. - While you're filming people,

And also...

What wrong with the fucking title bro?

- Some people might find it offensive, you know?

Do you find it offensive?

- I do not find offensive, but imagine a family driving by

How would you like it?

Maybe you could use something, you know...

Some other title or, you know,

A what?

- Acronym. - What the fuck is an acronym?

You've never heard of acronym before?

Oh my God, here we go.

I got to deal with a goddamn Spanish,

You went to college didn't you.

to go to college, but I had to work.

Okay, that's why I want it.

I'm a nigga from the mother fucking streets.

I don't even know what the fuck an acronym is, man.

I hate it when people like you talk to me like that.

It's almost like you're trying to insult me.

- I'm not insulting you. Maybe educate you a little bit.

Like that guy who was teaching you Spanish,

he was not insulting you.

Come on, relax, you know.

Acronym, acronym?

- What the fuck is it, man? I can't even spell.

Can you even spell that? - Yes.

A- C-R-O-N-Y-M, acronym.

It's not that hard to figure it out.

Acronym, we use it in our daily life.

- Well, I don't know what the hell

you talking about, man.

I see niggas from the motherfucking streets, man.

That's cold, think about it bro.

It's cool, it's great, I like it.

I mean, yeah, I mean, some young kid, you know,

16, 17-year-old will be walking around and think

"Oh this is so cool. "

But imagine a family walking around with their kids,

they see profanity on a signboard.

All right, okay.

How would you feel about that?

- No, you're right, you're right, man, so...

So an acronym, some similar to...

Oh, say a PB and J

- Okay man, all right. So you're doing it again, man.

What the hell is PB and J bro?

I'm done, I'm done. what is this?

You don't even know what PB and J is?

No man.

Pajamas? I don't know. - Pajamas?

PJ's. Oh, my pajamas, PJ's.

- No, that's PJs. PJ's is different than PB and J.

Okay PB and J, peanut, butter and jelly.

Man then why did you just say

peanut butter and jelly?

'Cause it's easier.

Man why don't you just say

peanut butter and jelly?

Okay,

the point is,

instead of using that long profanic title,

you could use N-F-T-S.

- Okay, what the fuck is that? - Is a shortage?

What is it? N-F-T-S. What is that, man?

- Okay. I'm going to say it, but don't get mad okay.

- Well, that's cool, I'm saying we keep this through.

Keep that right here, right here.

- I will keep it on the low low and the down low,

whatever you want to say it.

The low low, not the down low.

- Okay - The low, low, very low.

Okay, I will do it.

Okay, now say it again, how you said?

- Niggas from the streets. - So and the acronym?

Yes, acronym.

Instead of using the entire title, you could use an acronym

of, you know, NFTS.

"Niggas From The Streets. "

Yes.

Where did you get that from?

- The famous group. - The famous group.

There ain't no famous group named acronyms.

Yes the Eighties. What's the...

Oh, ice cube. Ice cube, Compton.

- Oh, NWA - NWA, yes.

- Yeah. That was the name of the group was NWA.

Yes, but what does it mean?

- It means NWA. - No!

It means? - Oh, Niggas With Attitudes.

Yes.

I was about to say it, but you beat me to it.

- It's a good thing. It's a good thing I beat you to it.

You got two already that's enough.

- Okay. - So Niggas With Attitudes

and I'm doing Niggas From The Streets.

Correct?

- I'm just a nigga from the streets. So leave out the MF.

- Yeah. I mean it's too much, you know, keep it simple.

You know they say, keep it simple, stupid, KISS.

What are you waiting for?

Damn!

- It's a pandemic life right there.

It hit everybody differently.

Not different from the Christmas tree,

they homeless but they got a little tree they fixin up.

Big Papa pays a visit

to the giant and the face of muscle beach.

That's right. The one and only Ike Catcher.

He wanted to ask him about being in his upcoming movies

and also ask this big mountain of a man, what does he think

and how does he feel about black lives matter?

What's up?

- Look, buddy. Well, how can I tell you, buddy?

I'm Nigerian and Austrian,

but I wasn't raised by no black father,

was raised by a white man, that's my father.

I cannot say that only black lives matter, right?

- You heard that? - Every lives matters.

Look, we're not trying...

We're not trying to say that we haven't been enslaved.

We haven't been repressed for all these years

but doing the other way around now

and saying the things are unequal.

It's not the right way either, right?

I believe in one love, peace, black and I'm proud.

It's not about who matters more.

It's about, we all matter and we are all for one, right?

So we have a slogan that is all inclusive

and that's short like that.

It should not differentiate it. It shouldn't polarize.

It should bring people together, right?

And I understand the pain of black men.

I know about slavery, I'm an African,

I know what they're doing to my home continent,

I know what colonization, what imperialism is.

But guess what? We're going into a new age, new age of love.

And it's a rainbow of colors.

We're all in this rainbow of colors, right?

The diversity, the difference between us

is what make life beautiful.

So saying that the only one thing matters, it's nonsense.

I'm not trying to knock the movement

but I'm just saying, We're all equally the same.

And my black daddy didn't raise me.

I was raised by a white man.

Guess what? In Austria, speaking Germany.

And now I'm here. You know what I mean?

And I got white friends, black friends, Italian friends,

Asian friends, I'm doing shit, I'm doing Shaolin Kung Fu.

I'm learning Chinese martial arts.

So do we wanna enjoy life

in all this different shades of the States?

Or do you just wanna like box ourselves in?

Well, no.

Don't wanna do it, the open mind.

- Exactly, open the mind. - I came down here to see you

just for that, man. - Man!

- I came down to see you. - You already know,

with the power of Christ, all things are possible.

That's right.

Hey.

- Right. - You, good.

Let me ask you something, bro.

- What's that? - You ever been in prison?

Yeah, bro.

You have?

Yeah.

What was it like?

Man, fuck that place, fuck prison.

Why you say that?

Cause, who want to be locked up, man.

That shit for the birds bro.

I feel you, but... I mean...

If that's the case, why did you do it?

Whatever it is that you did.

Chasing that bag every time, man.

Anytime I've been locked up

it's 'cause I've been chasing that bag,

it's like we're trying to do that shit right away, right?

- That's right - You ever been in prison?

Yep, I have.

I don't think most people call it prison but I been in jail.

I think there's a big difference between jail and prison.

Right.

The place I've been.

- If you had to pick prison or jail,

what would it be?

Neither man.

A cage is a cage.

Facts.

That's true, times a little bit easier in prison

but jail sucks but fuck, fuck them both.

That's what I say

Not the place I wanna be.

- I've noticed that least one of you is wearing body armor.

And I would just like to make a point in reference to that,

in reference to hopefully something that you've discovered

here today that is new.

And I want to bring this to you from Ephesians 6:11.

And the Bible teaches us, put on the whole armor of God.

Son if there's anything that you'd like to say

or speak about, now is the time, go right ahead.

- Okay. Thank you. - You're welcome.

Some of y'all know me. I'm Milkman.

Nope, wait a minute.

Let's hear your real name.

My name is Xavier.

- Amen, go ahead Xavier. What do you wanna say?

- Let's just say I haven't been the best parent

to my children.

Okay.

- Mainly this is why I came into this building today.

- Amen. - Looking for forgiveness.

We all make mistakes.

And I believe that I've made one

that has happened to me as well.

I'm trying to change the cycle

but things just haven't been going right.

I understand.

Stop trying brother, stop trying.

- I understand, you can do this. You can this.

Trust in the Lord.

Lean not to your own understanding.

Some things are just too hard for us, but God can do it.

Trust in him with all your heart.

Don't be hard on yourself.

He's already given his life for you

and given you the opportunity to do better.

He's paid for anything that you have done.

- Amen. - You have the opportunity

to start a new life.

- Amen, Amen, and Amen. - Trust and believe in that.

You take the first step

and he'll take you all the rest of the way.

Believe that, try it.

Try it. - Do it.

Let's hear it for the Xavier.

Amen. Amen.

Put on the full armor of God.

Put on a full armor of God, let this go.

Wake up nigga.

Wake up fool.

What happened?

Hand me that popcorn off the floor, man.

My ass getting sleepy.

Give me the bag, man. By your feet.

How long was I out?

- I don't know man, about an hour and a half.

We're almost there man. Them niggas sleep in the back still?

- Yeah. They still sleep in the back.

- Yo, I gotta ask you a question, man.

What up?

- When's the last time you saw your son?

Like one year.

Little longer.

You send your girl any money?

No.

How that make you feel, bro?

I don't know. Bad, I guess.

You ain't laughing now.

That shit ain't funny now, is it?

I guess not.

Ima tell yo bro, I mean this.

We get this paper,

first thing you do is send that girl some money.

We might be niggas from the street.

But that don't mean we gotta be like our daddies.

You got some money nigga? - I got two dollars.

You know what man? Fuck it man.

Yo, yo, yo.

She bout that life.

And don't forget it.

Damn.

Girl I brought you here for one reason.

And what's that?

- Well, try to feel this, I'm doing this film.

It's like a mockumentary. It's based on true life shit.

You know how a nigga tryin to come up.

You've got to understand something.

I'm just a nigga from the street. I mean you okay with that?

- Mmm hmm. - All right, word.

Well, with that being said

I need you to be like my leading lady.

I mean girl, look at you. You got a mirror at home?

- Of course. - Well then you already know?

You perfect from head to toe girl.

And I need you to be my leading lady.

I knew as soon as I seen you step out that ride

and start walking.

I was like, look at her man. She's perfect from head to toe.

She's first-class. Now, that's a lady.

That's what I said.

That's why I got you up here in this bathroom.

And?

- Well, I'm just trying to feel you,

you're okay with that?

And what do I have to do?

- Did you get it? - What?

- Nothin babe, I'm just trying to get it.

Oh, I'm trying to get up in there. Oh yeah.

Oh that shit feels so good.

He does a lot of ballads as well.

Vee told us to come see you that there was a possibility

you know, for us to get signed.

He said you watched our movie and liked our music.

- And I thought it'd be a high rise or something bro.

I know we... - Where's your office?

That's what I thought

- No disrespect ma'am it's just that Vee told us that

you represented like Diddy and Lil Fitty.

He said you even worked with my boy LL.

This is over years of real work.

Boys move those boxes there and have a seat.

- Over there? - Right there.

Got rules. There's no niggas. - what?

Hold on.

Yeah, we're gonna be there on Tuesday and Thursdays.

It's gonna be an all day shoot.

No, no, no, no, no. That location was not approved.

You guys need to get your act together. Call me back.

Okay I'm out. - This bitch trippin?

- Okay, so you, the musicians, I've got some rules.

There's no niggas, there is no bitches and there's no guns,

I'm clear?

I don't understand.

In the music

there's no niggas, guns, bitches, period.

So like our music, creativity.

You want us to water it down?

My money, my rules. Am I clear?

- So you're looking for that Will Smith type of flavor.

I'm looking for money.

Profitable business.

Okay.

- Do you represent them? - Yes, ma'am.

Why don't you please have a seat.

Mr. Movie man.

- Yes ma'am. - Do you have a...

Did your mama gave you a name?

Oh yes. Yes she did, it's, it's.

Hold.

The set has to be, as it was designed.

The door has to open out.

I don't care what the director says.

Okay.

If there's a problem we'll deal with it

at the end of the day.

Got it.

You were saying?

I'm sorry, I...

Did your mother give you a name?

Oh yes she did.

It's Wendell.

Are you afraid?

No, Wendell Jenkins.

Funny man, what's your name?

My name's Xavier.

And you?

Chuck.

Like up, Chuck?

Yeah.

Okay. Movie, man.

Willard, got rules for you too.

Don't do porn.

Boobs are okay, no dick pics. We clear?

Yeah. I mean...

Yeah.

- They make the music marry the soundtracks to your movies.

Five movies. Three-year contract, 5.50.

That was the deal, clear?

5.50?

That won't fill up my gas tank. Five dollars and 50 cents.

We drove all the way out here for Five dollars and 50 cents?

Bro.

- No, man. I spend 30 dollars for this jacket.

- Bro, I know a little something about this business.

- Tell me something. Tell me something, bro.

5.50 is what you said.

So 5.50 is what we get

for every time someone watches our movie, right?

I think we're getting fucked.

No shit.

Man damn.

Ma'am you have no idea what we went through to get here.

Look, I'm going to be real with you. I got to be me.

My mother always told me you only get one shot in life.

This is my shot.

I don't...

I mean, not disrespect, but...

Jesus! I don't even know what to say.

We drove all the way out here. Vee told me...

I mean, I know what he got for his contract.

Five dollars and 50 cents for...

that just doesn't sound right to me.

Look...

I don't know. I can barely even talk right now.

I don't even know what to say.

We don't even dress like this. We don't dress like this.

I mean, I got to admit, I mean, he do look good and stuff

but this is not how we roll, you know?

And we do say stuff like, you know, like niggas

and I got four bitches that I stole money from

just to get here.

For Five dollars and 50 cents, I'm like, I don't get it.

I mean, when do we get the money, money?

You get 5.50 today.

And you get... The rest once I get...

You get the next 5.50 after the first album drops,

and then we do it again, it's really simple.

- Yeah. We can't work with that. I guess we were mistaken.

I guess we just wasted your time.

It's the standard, 5.50.

You know I'll be honest with you really?

Hell if we would've came here and got 10,000 dollars a piece

we would have been cool, we would have been cool.

I mean that's-

- So you don't want my half a million dollars?

Damn.

A half a million? That's wonderful.

That's amazing.

Absolutely marvelous.

Sounds like a yes to me.

Well, all I need is a signature and we're in business.

- A half a million. Okay, let me understand this.

This is take one. Come on, it's like I'm dreaming.

Do you mind if I take off my coat

'cause I'm about to pass out.

- Make yourself comfortable. - Thank you.

I don't even know.

That's 30 dollars, I got a half a million dollars baby!

I don't even know what to say. So just so I got it clear.

'Cause I am in charge. I don't want, you know...

So we get a half a million dollars.

Today.

For what you heard and what you saw.

Yes.

- And when we deliver everything to you from that

all, everything all the tracks, we get another half million?

- You get the first album in my hands,

first movie in my hands,

another half. - So we get a million.

- And then we roll it again next project,

we do the money again. - Okay. Hold on.

So we talkin about like five million dollars?

Five million dollars? - You got it right.

Five million dollars?

Where do I sign? - Right here.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, I appreciate you.

Five million dollars, boys.

Damn.

Close the door man, close the door.

What the hell are you doing smokin.

You can't do that out here, man. What's wrong with him?

That's 1.25 million for us.

This motherfucker speak English?

Three languages.

Let's get the fuck out of here man.

- Who ever said a nigga from the streets

couldn't make it in this business huh?

Somebody help me.

'Cause over the next five years, a Big Papa and company

these niggas went on to make several different movies.

Hell, these niggas even made TV shows.

You're not gonna believe this,

Big Papa finally made it big time.

He fell into the $ million club.

That's right bitches, you heard me.

Big Papa getting $ million a movie.

You know this nigga done lost his mind.

The bitches, the cars.

Hell Big Papa even went out and got himself G6.

Well, while on set, filming his blockbuster, "Peach Cobbler"

Meghan, his producer, sets up a T exclusive interview

for Big Papa.

That's right, you heard me, T exclusive.

Congratulations, Big Papa. I guess you finally made it.

- Victor, I wanna thank you for your time today, man.

I know you're extremely busy and it's a pleasure.

Excuse me.

Every time you do my hair, you set my hat over there.

I'm sorry Mr. Case.

I like to keep my hat by me please.

- I'm sorry. - You're sorry.

Sorry. - Don't be sorry.

I understand you're busy.

With that, you know, I wanna congratulate you

on "Water 2, The Cleansing" coming out

and I know you finally made the 20 million club.

Okay, enough. Sweet cheeks.

You've got to be on set in minutes.

- Milkman please. - Come on, get outta here.

Come on, come on, come on.

- So congratulations on your success,

that's huge.

Also you're very humble with you know, your success.

And that says a lot about you as a person.

Also, I admire your books that you've written.

I've read both of them.

What do you want me, to blow the mic?

Can you do something with this guy?

Come on Zaid get outta here.

- Go on the other side or something, get out the way.

Jesus, trying to do an interview here.

- With your book, "Nobody", that I have here,

a few things on there

that I wanted to ask you about in person.

You know, what made you... Yeah.

- I want to show it to my fans if you don't mind.

I would love for you to.

This is the book she's speaking of

and thank you very much for getting me to that.

What was it, million mark? - Yes.

- Thank you for getting me to that million mark.

My name is Nobody, did you read it?

- I actually did. - And what'd you think?

I actually really love it.

I love the depth that you went into with...

You also mentioned a lot

about how you were raised by your mom

and the things that she's done in your life.

And a lot of that is in your book.

And I really wanted to know why. Why "Nobody"?

Why'd you come up with that name? I understand, but why?

what's the why behind it?

- Well, it's a long story, but I'll make it quick.

So I have to be on the set in, 10?

- Yeah. 10 minutes. - 10 minutes.

My dad, he was dependent on drugs, he was a drug addict.

Beat my mom, told me I would never amount to be anything.

He said, "Oh, you'll never be more than just another nigga.

You're gonna grow up to be nobody. "

And I swore from the time he told me that

to change that by all means necessary.

- So that brings me to your second book.

You said, "You Know It's Love When",

and in this book you talk about actually, you know,

not being able to sleep

because your dreams become that reality and-

- May I? - Yes.

There, you guys go,

world tour with this. - Are you in love?

Have you found love? Are you sleeping?

Have I found love? Am I sleeping?

First of all, am I sleeping? I'm sleeping just fine.

Have I found love, I found love in Paris,

Bangkok,

Texas,

China, I found love a little bit in every place.

And that, and that's great.

So when you find this love in all these places,

do you remember them?

No.

- "Boyz From the Streets. " Man, let's talk about that.

- Let's. - So with that movie,

that's based on a true story, correct?

Yes, it is actually.

So a lot of the things

and a lot of the action in that movie

what would you say brings back memories for you.

What was it that you learned from that movie?

What do you want your audience to learn

from making that movie?

Well, first of all, wasn't a movie.

- Okay. - It's a mockumentary.

- A mockumentary. Thank you for correcting me.

- It's a mockumentary. What do I want them to learn?

That they could change,

that they can change, and- - Have you changed?

Do you have any regrets?

- Oh, I think we all have regrets. Sure, I have regrets.

I wish I would've finished school.

I dropped out of college my first year.

- It seems like you're doing well for yourself

do you really regret that?

Well, doing well is all relative.

What do you mean by that?

Doing well, we talkin financially?

Yeah. Yeah, financially.

I'm doing hella good financially.

- So when you say you have regrets,

what is it that you would regret?

Probably not having kids. Probably kids.

- Kids. - Yeah.

Would you say that's because

you didn't really give that love that you speak of

in these plenty of States and countries that you visited,

these women that you really don't remember the women

to really add any value to your life

to have the children that you wish for?

It's kind of like a double-edged sword

because on one hand, yes I do wish I had kids.

So far as the women's concerned.

They were women, I'm a man. We did what we did.

No, I can't really say so far as that's concerned

that the women and stuff, it's just something I did.

That's all. Something I did.

So if you had a daughter

and men treated them the same way that you treated women

how would that make you feel?

- You look familiar. - Do I?

Yeah, you do?

- And what do I remind you of?

Milkman, do you see this?

I do remember you.

I definitely want you to remember me.

No!

- I wanted to catch up with my boy Chuck Taylor.

Also known as Lazy Dubb. Check him out, he's on Instagram.

He's got some dope music and he's one hell of an actor now.

But more than anything, I wanted to get him here

since we're at a wrap

and get his views on what we did, how he feels

as not only a talent, as an actor, as a musician, a rapper,

and a father of six.

But we've gotta motivate each other.

And we got to pull each other up.

I ain't with all the knocking the other people down

and try to bring myself up.

We can win as a team. You know what I mean?

Like I'm more for the team.

Like, Hey, he reached out, he needs my help, by all means.

Likewise if I was to reach out and ask him for help,

you know what I mean, but we're gonna move...

We're gonna move a little bit different

and we're gonna make more moves if we work together

rather than try to look at others as competition.

- I appreciated working with this brother. Can't wait.

I'm hoping that he does "Scrutiny" with me,

that "Narco Valley" and "Scrutiny,

that's what I'm hoping for.

But the deal has not been solidified yet, but I think he-

I never know.

- See, I think he thinking about it. So that's a good thing.

Check out his movie "Narco Valley"

and also check out "Scrutiny. "

Little Books, Little Films, you?

"Narco Valley," Lazy Dubb. Look it up.

There you go.

Y'all got me fuckin high.

- Look, we had a part, I'm gonna introduce this gentleman.

We had a part and it entails smoking weed.

While we're in this house

and that particular owner of the house

didn't want real weed smell, so we had to give him a pen.

But you know the smoke from a pen

isn't like from a real blunt or real joint.

It's just not the same. So he needs like hit it extra.

Well, long story short, this is the end result.

He said, I think we did like three different takes,

was it three?

- Might've been four. - It might've been four.

Okay, we'd done like three or four takes, and he's...

Well, long story short,

he's like, "No more, no more, no more. "

So here we all with the interview, and again at a wrap,

Jesse's wrapping with us for today

and he's a grandpa by the way, as of last year?

Yep.

As of last year he's a grandpa

with that smooth skin of his but he also makes music.

Jesse has been in a number of films, numerous films.

Actually too many to name for me.

My question to you, Jesse is, why did you jump aboard

and leave the medical field

to come out to hang out with a bunch of thugs and...

Oh, that's right. You are a thug, I'm sorry.

To come out and hang out with a bunch of

niggas from the motherfucking streets.

- I always have loved working with Little Books Little Films

and all their films that they got going on.

The backstory to this was

when he said the name of the story, "Nigga from The Streets"

"Nigga from The Streets. "

Nigga from the motherfucking streets.

Nigga from the motherfucking streets.

That kind of touched home. 'Cause that's where I'm from.

You know, might show all this persona, gold jewelry

drinking, I don't know what the hell he served me,

but he tried to send me home drunk.

- Gin and juice bro. - Gin and juice there you go.

And then just took me back to my roots

what we are doing when we were walking down Crenshaw,

felt like I was at home.

It was a beautiful thing.

That was one of my main reasons jumping on this,

to go back to my roots, where we all come from.

- So we all learn from each other and it was a message.

That's the bottom line. This shit's got a message in it.

And if you can't feel it, that's too bad for you,

and I guess you know nothing about

niggas from the motherfucking streets.

We out.

There he is.

That's my sound man,

who basically did this for nothing, basically for real.

He also taught me.

Though we were joking a lot in the film,

we touched some events, if you will,

from 9/11 to racial stuff that we spoke about

that me being ex-military and him being from Iraq.

Iraq, did I pronounce that right?

- Yeah. Iraq is actually I think the right pronunciation.

- Okay. - Right.

Iraq, him being from there,

just kind of gives you like mixed feelings.

You know, I'm from New York

you don't all know what happened with the towers and stuff.

So it was kind of weird, but we actually spoke and talked

and we learned a lot from each other.

You know, it really came out because of this mockumentary

because I've worked with him before.

And really, I really didn't know shit about him.

When did you move here? How old were you?

I was 19. So that was 11 years ago.

11 years ago, he came here.

So us being niggas from the motherfucking streets,

he's Iraqi from the motherfucking streets.

Doing this project has taught me a lot

because has taught me about a culture

that I was not very familiar with.

Doing this mockumentary, even though it's a mockumentary,

but you actually go through people's experiences or past.

Every project that I've worked on up to this point

has been either feature films or commercial work.

And so this was an eye opening.

- Would you do it again? - Definitely.

And I think we should do it even in other cultures.

I agree.

Don't try to steal our idea

'cause we already have this down on paper.

We already got it down. So don't try to steal it.

I don't care whether you're from Iraq

or the States or New York or Japan.

If you don't have communication,

we're all pretty much dead in the water.

I'm glad I got to know you. I mean that.

Thank you.

- I do, it was a pleasure and an honor working with you.

You have very little soft hands,

I'm sure the girls like that too.

He's cute, got little soft hands,

So there you go. That's my boy, Zaid, and thanks brother.

Thank you, thanks for having me.

- We got Cindy Snider, also mother of twins,

two beautiful twins, artist.

What's your Instagram for your artwork?

- Snider Gallery. - Snider Galley. Check it out.

You know what? I got somethin, I got a deal.

- You knew people. - I knew people.

I knew people. So my piece is only 1,100 dollars.

She's been with me and working with me

in the filming industry for years.

I don't wanna lie. It's been years, over five, six years.

It's been a long time, but more than anything,

Cindy, isn't an actress, she's my producer.

She's my motivator. She's my ass kicker.

When I have people on the set,

she kicks ass and get them going, on a positive note.

I said, "I need you," like she said,

"Okay, what do you need? I'm there. "

I said, "I need you to act. "

She's like, "Oh, no, that's not me. "

I said, "I need this because I'm a nigga from the streets. "

She actually laughed. The white lady from...

Where you from originally? - Dallas.

- The white lady from Dallas was cracking up

just on the title, I knew it was a good thing.

When she started laughing, I said, "This good shit. "

I needed a white person for my film

"Niggas From the Motherfucking Street. "

How are we gonna have a film like that

without having a white represented?

So here she is.

And every project or every business, whatever,

they gotta have a certain quota don't they Big Mama?

- That's right. - She went from not acting

to like, you'll see her in this, she crushes it,

to doing this killer kick ass role, why?

'Cause you asked me.

And that's the truth.

I mean there are lots of obstacles in this business.

We've learned along the way and-

Got beat up.

Got beat up, got kicked in the teeth.

We've had it happen to our company.

And, everyone's fine, they just need a break.

And so I think, you know white people need

to give more people a break. - Not only did she crush it,

I'm honored to have her be a part of it

because she's representing reality, we all are.

Our last red carpet, what did you say to me?

- I'm not doing it again unless it's great.

I was like, "Ouch".

'Cause it was my movie she was watching.

My movie, she was representing at that front door

and helping people and the whole nine yards.

And I felt like I let her down but really I let myself down.

And it's not that it was bad, we could do better.

- Yes, that. - And "Recycle".

It's good, it's a great story.

That's not my question.

I'm looking forward to producing-

No, no. I want her to act in this.

- And there's some actors need to hit me up.

If you can top what I can do, then you can be in it.

So she's gonna be in it. Good.

There's a part I had for her.

I don't wanna say the lady's name she's like big talent.

And after see her performance I was like,

I'm still gonna to do the big talent

cause I gave her my word, she's gonna be in the project.

But I actually want her to do the part.

Because sometimes, you know, it doesn't take big stars

to like knock it down.

I've got T in the house, he is here.

My question to you T-Money.

Ooh this is gonna be a good one. Cause it's Terrell Matheny.

You can look him up, Instagram,

Terrell Matheny, check him out Spotify, Apple.

You look for his music, it is there.

This boy got G-A-M-E.

I did this because

I'm a nigga from the motherfucking streets, first of all.

But second of all, like the stories that are told,

like the instances, these are real stories and things

that people actually go through every day.

This is gonna be really good to show what really happens

when people have absolutely no clue about other cultures.

Will you do it again?

Hypothetically if we went to,

let's say we stay in the States, we went to Florida.

Yes.

Japan.

Yeah.

- Germany. - Yeah.

- Copenhagen. - Yeah.

- Brazil - Yeah oh.

Ooh, Rio de Janeiro, that is 'bout that life

Just do what you need to do and work as hard as possible.

So that you can be there for your children.

This movie shows, you know, what people have to go through,

on both sides, to make it in this industry.

This is not easy. This is not easy.

- Not at all. - This is not easy.

This is way longer than eight hours. This is hard work.

This is tears, sweat, front street, all of it.

Right now in your face.

Like, if you don't have thick skin, do not do this.

We sat around and just started talking crap,

like niggas from the streets, and we had a laugh.

I was on the ground my stomach was hurting.

I had tears coming down my face.

And he was like sitting there

with his nobody hat on and his robe,

and he's like, you know what?

We about to do this because I'm a nigga from the...

It was like two O'clock in the morning.

We were just going all excited.

Like, he was like, "Okay it's real. "

He was like, what you got let's see.

But the difference between us

and like a lot of people out there,

we sat at a table, we had an idea.

And we actually did it. So go fuck yourselves.

- Facts - That's how I feel.

Terrell thanks for coming through.

Appreciate you boy.

We killed it, we did. We're out.

We have Audrey in the house, aka Roxy.

Aka, what was your psychiatrist? Angela, fat Angela.

Aka a lot of names.

She's been in a lot of movies with Little Books Little Films

and she's also that producer that works

when everyone is sleeping.

In fact when she goes to sleep, it's like this.

So I told her about this movie

and she said, "Whatever I can do to help. "

"Whatever I could do to help. "

And everybody said that actually so.

But she said, "Whatever I could do to help. "

But she said, "I thought you were starting "Recycle".

I said, "I am, I'm doing 'Recycle' too. "

She said well, "Not only are you doing 'Recycle',

you already like almost doubled the budget on 'Recycle'."

I said, "I hear you. Give us about...

How many days did I ask for Terrell? Five, seven?

You said about eight to 10.

- Oh, total. - Total of shooting?

- No, editing and everything. - Editing everything?

- Like eight days. - Yeah it was like-

- Eight days, we're gonna have this done in eight days.

I don't wanna lie to you guys.

I don't wanna say we got a lot of money into it.

We did this, We did that, that's bullshit.

We had an idea, we got off our asses,

we left our families, we done it.

So what you're watching, this shit is real bro.

I wanna ask her two questions.

One, why the hell do you stay up so late every night.

My second one is, why would a white Jewish woman,

from the suburbs of Chicago...

Terrell's laughing, you hear him in the background.

From the suburbs of Chicago,

work with a bunch of niggas from the motherfucking streets?

Oh and from someone from Iraq too.

- Okay so, first question, why do I stay up?

Cindy and I joke all the time

that a lot of people don't understand what we do.

And it doesn't happen by magic.

You have to actually put in the time.

And for me, late at night, when I'm by myself,

with my computer,

there are no distractions and I can get everything done.

There are no interruptions.

And in fact, the work has to get done.

So if I have to stay up till four in the morning to do it,

you know, so be it.

- And why "Niggas From the Motherfucking Streets?

Why'd you laugh when I first told you?

Because it's so politically incorrect

that it almost makes it funny.

What I'm asking you is between you

and your white Jewish homies,

do you think this would circulate?

- No, not unless one of us had a connection to it somehow,

knowing someone that was in it,

or someone somehow came across it saw it

and was like, "Oh my God, you guys have to see this. "

- We'll make sure her name gets a black screen.

And we'll put the little Jewish symbols

so they know that we have somebody.

- So yes, if there's a connection, absolutely.

And the bottom line is, if someone finds something funny,

even... I don't care if there's one outrageous funny scene

that it's like, "Oh my God you guys have to see this,"

that's when it gets passed through

places that normally wouldn't.

Well with that being said

I wanted to thank her for her work.

As well, again with Cindy, I wanna mention her and Cindy.

Without them, we ain't nothing so.

Those producers that produce,

you gotta give them a lot of credit.

And I think when you believe in yourself,

I mean, you go all out. You don't care.

I mean you care, but you don't care.

You want it to be done well.

And I come from... I'm a black Hispanic.

And my mother always taught me

if you want something done right, do it yourself.

And if you believe in it, put up or shut up.

You know, um, with that being said,

I said if I was able to look,

I said this like probably a week ago, a month ago,

if I could have looked at a crystal ball, 10 years ago.

And it said if you become an independent filmmaker,

this is what you had to go through.

And I don't say this to discourage anybody

that wants to become an independent filmmaker.

I still would never have done it, I wouldn't have.

But after making this one,

"Niggas From the Motherfucking Streets,

I'd do it all over again, and again and again.

I don't know if that makes me

a nigga from the motherfucking streets or just a black guy,

that once you get it done, that cares.

'Cause that's really who I am.

Thanks a lot. - Thank you.

Yeah.

So we put this together for all of you filmmakers out there,

I know it gets a little hard sometimes.

You know, you don't...

I won't say you don't believe in yourself

but just gets a little hard.

And you're like, what the hell are you doing?

Well this is what we did.

- What inspired you to do this mockumentary?

Everything from black lives matter,

to single women, single mothers of black and white,

single mothers.

And mostly my culture because for us as blacks, you know,

most of us grew up without fathers being there.

But I would like her to go first.

- This is real right? - Yeah, let's be real.

Oh, you mean really real?

I saw something there.

I saw, you know, for me as a black woman, even personally,

just the struggles of being in one situation

knowing you wanna change,

trying to figure out how you gonna get there?

What do you need to do?

Going to AFM, I think for me was...

That was hard.

Because you go there and you're trying to sell your films

and with, you'll see some clips of some of my films,

but my first film, which was "My Name Is Nobody".

And, going there and trying to sell it

and they basically like laugh in your face.

But after seven years I found like a great group of people

and I called them the Bulls.

We're the Bulls. And we're after the ring.

Toni Mitchell, great actress. "My Name Is Nobody".

Oh you gotta see her in "Real Blood".

"Real Blood" is a crappy movie that we made.

We had a blast making it.

Yeah that was fun.

- Fire and Rain, no, not Fire and Rain, what else?

"Real Blood", "My Name Is Nobody", "Movie Madness",

"Water", "Scrutiny".

Yeah "Water" one and two.

- "Water" two, and we get ready to "Water" three.

I mean, it's a lot.

Oh, what is it? "Bikini Body Conscious Living".

We've done a lot of stuff.

Just go to Little Books Little Films

you'll see her, Toni Mitchell.

Toni Mitchell and also oh you gotta see her.

Thank you T, he's whispering "Peach Cobbler".

You don't gotta whisper bro.

It's a mockumentary we can do, whatever the hell we want.

"Peach Cobbler", you have to see her, that was great.

Actually what, that was really great.

It's a funny movie, it's heartfelt,

you have to see her in that.

Toni Mitchell, Instagram, Toni Mitchell, right?

- Yes. - Okay

This is Selena, Selena Villalobos.

Hello.

- My Nordstroms lady. Short story I met her at Nordstrom.

We went out, went on a little date, hung out.

I got to know her and I was like,

"What the hell are you doing in the department store?"

She was a manager, a manager of Nordstrom.

And it was just like, you're better than that.

You know, the girl can sing, she can dance,

she got a killer figure.

And, her acting is just off the chain.

I wanna get this out the way, "Scrutiny"?

- "Scrutiny, Bikini Body Conscious Living", "Peach Cobbler".

- "My Name Is Nobody". - "My Name Is Nobody",

A little part in that

and then "Real Blood the True Beginning"

and, well "Water". obviously.

- Oh "Water", right, "Water" one and "Water" two.

"Water" one and two.

Yo went to, what was it? Atlanta?

You were in a couple of major productions there.

- "Dynasty"? - "Dynasty. Yes, "Dynasty".

- "Dynasty". - Okay.

I don't like remember my lines.

What are your insecurities

when it comes to the filming industry?

So, you know, you play a role

that's supposed to be this beautiful person,

but you see your scars and your flaws.

And you're like how can other people perceive me

as a beautiful person when I've got those flaws.

But, then you go back to,

you know, person on the inside, and who they are,

and who that that makes them, and public people see as,

and overcomes that.

- So you're wrapped today? - Yes.

- You're wrapped and Toni you're wrapped today, right?

So I wanna, obviously these guys are a wrap,

for "Nigga From the Motherfucking Streets",

which is actually, thanks to Zaid.

He said, "You want to be politically correct. "

So he changed the name.

He's right, so we're gonna do it,

so we are politically correct for Hollywood.

Here we go, you know, conforming.

'Cause really personally, I would like it to say

niggas from the motherfucking streets.

But the fact of the matter is,

regardless of how you view us,

whether you view us as African-American, Mexican,

whatever racial slur you wanna come up with,

we're basically all

nobodies. - Nobodies.
