 First show, first show, now show it to Apollo. I'm in the legendary Apollo, J-O-N, Deep Black. You know, we set up, man. This is how I'm gonna just be here. Young niggas watch this area. Saturday afternoon at the crib, growing up. I'm just excited to continue the legacy of Black excellence. That is our... That is our duty. It's an honor, bro. I'm just taking it all in. You feel me? Can't wait to see what this show got to offer, bro. We about to put on. The last time I was here, I was with Steve Harvey, and he's a legend in the game. He came up through here, and by the time I had come back with him, he was one of the... He's on the Mount Rushmore, and so to be back with 85, like, we're the new kings of comedy, it's, man, I can't even believe it. I get emotional thinking about it, just to be on the same stage as so many people have been on, so... It's just crazy. We got this opportunity to come here, and just be the next kings of comedy, like, show them what's up for 85's self-show. Even from our experience, it's great. It's pretty deep, man. There's a lot of history here. This theater, I know some of the history, and it's not just about the artist. It's more about the culture and the movement of people. The Apollo's been a big part of because black people are celebrating. Black people... It's made a ton of stars, and if you was anybody who came through the Apollo, you had to give it your all, because Harlem's gonna play this New York City. And it's real. You can make it here, you can make it anywhere. So, one of the greatest hosts that ever touched, walked this planet, used to host the Apollo. Mr. Steve Harvey, my big dog, Salute. So, for me to be able to go on stage and to introduce 85's self-show, the New Kings of Comedy, Carlos Miller, D.C. Young Fly, Chico Bean, this is legendary. We had offers to do a whole bunch of other venues, but we specifically wanted to play at the Apollo. We knew what it means. We knew what Harlem was for us in the 1930s. Obviously, us in the 60s, 70s, 80s, so you got people like Michael Jackson, Jackie Wilson, Bill Cosby, Britt Farron, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Billy Holliday, Sammy Davis Junior, Joseph Sam Cooke, Sinbad, Temptations, Puff, Biggie, all them people on the play to stage, so this ain't got nothing to do with no money and nothing else. We just had to come to Harlem because that's what you got to do, especially as a black entertainment. So, it's so cool. Hey, man, this shit is amazing because, you know, it's historic. It's one of those places, man, that every black entertainer, performer has touched. Ever. This used to be it. This is the Mecca. This is the Mecca of black entertainment, man. Like, it was a time where this was the only place that was a haven for black entertainment where you know you can come and your people can come in and watch you. And embrace you. And embrace you and be safe and have a good time. I mean, the greatest of the greats. Everybody's been here, man. The Old Motown. And now you can add the 85 South Show to that list, man.
