 So y'all had to do two shots of tequila to even kiss her cause we grew up like, we grew up like for real, like family. For real. Everybody be like, ah, y'all was kissing Mike and good, bruh. I'm like, bro, that's my family for real. Don't boss talk one on one. I'm the guy, bruh. I be in the crib. People be like, do you still dance? I used to be like, no, but I be dancing like that. I be in the crib, I be in the crib. Man, I be in the crib, bussing hard as, sweating like a mother. Listen, man, let me say something, man. This movie come on at my house periodically. My kids, you know, I'm like, I'm tired of the dang movie. Man, that's funny. You think you're dancing, bro? Hey, bruh, something hit me a couple of weeks ago, about two months ago. I was sitting in my living room and the spirit of Joe Jackson came into my living room, the ghost of Joe Jackson. He said, get your ass up, boy. You can't miss a step. I start rehearsing and coming into my living room. I'm making that mess. I'm trying to be perfect. Wait a minute. I want to ask you about that movie. Remember this movie for a second. Now that you brought the dancing up, The Stump of the Yard. Just, how did you prepare for those parts? Do you just naturally dance? No, man, this is what I talk to when I talk to all these young people that want to be in this business, man. You know, it's titled Preparation Meeting Your Destination. So what do I mean by that? When I was 17, I went to Performing Arts High School. I was a musical theater major. I was training. I was doing real work as an actor. You know what I mean? From before that. And I'm talking about not working in the business but training because it's Michael Gladwell, Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote Outliers. He says it takes 10,000 hours to be a master of your craft. 10,000 hours, you break that down. That's 10 years, right? So you got to work for 10 years so you can be a master. Yeah, I mean, you got to be grinding for 10 years to be a master or something, a master blacksmith. You know what I mean? A master illustrator. You know what I mean? Whatever you want to do. And so, boom, then I went from high school, I went to do stop. This Broadway show, stop. Well, we had to. Oh. Yeah. I had to learn how to use our bodies. I mean, I had to use my body and animate objects to make music, right? So then, boom. Then I came off the stop and I started choreographing for Britney. So now I'm a choreographer, all this stuff. And then I got the opportunity. And you loved it all this time. All the time. Everything, all of those things. Acting, stop, Britney, stop the yard. My preparation. Led you up to that. Met my destination. Wow. Dope. And it was easy. And it was easy. Easy. Easy breezy. It did an amazing job. Everybody loved it, man. Well, everybody did an amazing job in that movie. So did you know Chris Brown before that? No, no. But you know, we right before it because there was no way they were gonna give me the movie. So I had to, it was a lot of, like Nia was my guy. Megan is my, I grew up with Megan. You grew up with Megan. Grew up, grew up, grew up. That's like sis, sis. Okay. So y'all had to do two shots of tequila to even kiss her. Cause we grew up like, like we grew up like for real like family. For real. Everybody be like, I wasn't kissing Megan good, bro. I'm like, bro, that's my family for real. So it was weird, but we did it. And but, you know, everyone came around and supported me in that move. And I was forever grateful for it. Yeah, you did it. And it was really like, I didn't get a chance to go to college, bro. You feel me? And living, doing the movie gave me a college experience. You know what I mean? And a real like Theta Nu Theta, I take serious. Did you really want to, did you want to go to college? I did. I was, I was accepted to Juilliard. Okay. Boston Conservatory, NYU and Berkeley School of Music. Wow. And Berkeley School of Music was where I was going to go. So what happened when you didn't go? I had to get out of my house, man. It was going too much going on at the crib. And I was like, I had to go. And back then you still had a temporary then? No, he had nothing to do with me. I was a kid. I was a kid. I was 17. Had nothing to do with my life. So when you left, where did you go? To Stomp. I left. I think you, I went on tour. But God is something else, man. Because God, like I said, the way you explained it is just hit, man. Like everything lined out because, you know, steps of a good man on the battle line anyway. The man already was walking in purpose. And we think we doing something a lot of times and we just meeting. They ain't doing nothing. Exactly. I say that all the time. Right. Like it's like, man, we just, we just need to just have faith, right? Well, what is faith? Faith without, what faith without what works? It's dead. Okay. I just wanted to know. But what is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So we have to walk blindly, right? Correct. Sometimes you gotta leap into the proverbial void. Wow. Just so you can, like, you can't say you want something. You want something, but you scared to go get it. Scared to give up something for it. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.
