He said We the Neptune's my name is for real. I said, yeah, I'm gonna hurt you. That's how long ago this was Wow So he's like, can I just go in have a great time? There was another guy standing on the wall green jacket like a green little jumpsuit Nobody's talking to him. Guess who was who Jay Z? Nobody know I said what's up, man? great party So Jay Z You know no one knows but and now the way I got into the music However, is that all these different parties going on and I would have like different musical people leave me music in my little studio that I built I went and got this great studio built in the back of my house. And so one day in comes his kid backpack on Jaws busted. Who is it? Who? Kanye his Oh his jaws busted for my car accident Right Kanye walks in and I said who's that? I said, oh, that's a new motherfucker Kanye, man. He about to be the shit What do you do? Well, he produces but he also raps. I said well anybody coming to my house They gotta perform so I said yo man. They say you you know, you rap is it he wrapped the most incredible free I don't know if it's free. So it was in car. I said, I don't know why you aren't famous He did it with a broken jaw. He had a little bit little jaws a little swollen I don't think it was broken But it was a little swollen because it wasn't too long after that accident that he had right and then he goes Uh, I got a song dad dad you you will be cut on I got this song. I know you could kill I was like me song goofy face Yeah, I said, oh shit cool so we go in the back Woman's thoughts got studio in the back so he sings he says the songs gonna go She say she wants a Marvin Gaye some Luther Vandross. So I said I got it She says she wants a Marvin Gaye He's like, what are you doing? I said, well, I gotta put you know, the R&B on it You know I'm saying I'm a real singer, you know, I've been singing. He says don't do that Just sing the song cuz it's hip-hop and I said, okay cool. So I begrudgingly sung the song I'm thinking songs whack. He's not gonna make it. So I went off. I did a bad movie I come back about six weeks eight weeks later. That song is number one My boy goes like you remember that song you said was shit is number one in the country And then that's how I got into the music. So Long story longer. It's like yeah You can do all of the things and there's a lot of actors and actresses that can you just need those opportunities? Just like in life when you're when your opportunity comes if you prepare for it now you could jump into it and grab it and What I was told was by my guy Brian who does all of my music. He found slow jams. He found Goldiggy found blame it on the alcohol He says you got to stop singing funny shit and sing a real record And once you sing the real record and not say it's you singing it now you got a better go So now after all of those years The people that grew up with me what doing stand-up or watching they they're older and at a young folks is like You You the Kanye man, just like how you know the guys now going up to Michael. So so as I get older You hope that you're blessed with opportunities and you know So old saying but turns sort of reinvent or reintroduce yourself to people who may not know who you are
