Oklahoma. Mississippi. Mississippi. So, you know, me being from LA, most of my family from Texas, Dallas, Houston, my pops, my mama and them, and they migrated here. My auntie and them from Louisiana, they migrated. So I have nothing left for the South. So Oakland is Louisiana. Louisiana. That's where my pops from. My pops originally from Monroe, Louisiana. Monroe, Louisiana. Yeah, man. I know about it, man. I've been through them. My dad, my stepdad, who was my biological dad friend from Tulsa, Oklahoma. But then they moved to LA. My daddy, he always used to be like, you know, I was an original Crip because he used to be, he was from Grape Street. Yeah. Back in the day. Way back in the day. In the 60s. Watts. Watts in the 60s. During that. Yeah.  In Grape Street, you gotta stand in the Grape Street. They were that purple. Yeah. And we were with that purple. You gotta understand. They thought it was just gang, crazy gang, but that color is a world.  It's a world color.  Like, you know, it was for like the community. It was for the black people just in general, right? Community, revolution and progress. Yes. Grip. Bloods is bringing light out of darkness. Yeah. It meant something. Yeah, it meant something. I was looking with a camera.  Because he gotta tell the story, he knocked out Tookie. I'm looking for you, Ricky. Oh, jeez. I'm looking for you, Ricky. When he wasn't smoking crack, then he got 40-inch on him. He was the only one that knocked out Tookie. And he gotta tell the story. Oh, really? Yeah, he knocked out Tookie Williams. Knocked out Tookie. Where was Tookie Williams from? He was the baby. He was from West Side Crips. He was with Raymond Washington. Right? Yeah. Mock with Ricky Beechy. Mock with Rest in Peace, A.C. Allen Charles. They was the original Bible Crips. They thought I was like, Brent didn't be laughing at me. They didn't bring the A.B. laughing at me. But I'll tell you, it was a Bible Crips before the school yards in Queen Anne Park. They was banging the Bible? They had to go. They was banging the Bible. Bible Crips. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Jesus. They didn't bring the blood in Jesus. They didn't want that blood in Jesus. On the cross. On the cross. Hey, this C is for Christ. Yeah. That's real spitting. That's real spitting. That's real spitting. I was just in LA the other day. I was just in LA the other day. I was just in LA the other day. Looking for my uncle, man. I was on Victoria, everything. Because he gotta tell the story.  You know, Ray Ray Brownie and all the other OGs that came out of LA. Like my nigga was like saying, it wasn't about no gang. It was really about protecting the neighborhood. And prior to that, my pops, Big J, man. You know what I'm saying? It ran with Fred and Willie and the boys. He, they was original gladiators. He had the gladiators, the businessmen, the dartenians, the rubberizers. So the game bankers was like y'all Black Panthers for the Bayer, like Oakwood. Let me tell you. And that's a good point you're saying, because my uncle rests in peace. He was the chapter of the Black Panthers. Black Panthers for LA. You know what I'm saying? For LA. And then, you know, when you had the BPS, that was the Black Panthers Society. Oh, BPS. BPS.    Yeah.  And that was the part where T. Rogers came down. T. Rogers from Chicago came down. But yeah, man, Bunchy Carter. Bunchy Carter got killed at UCLA from the US program. The government infiltrated the LA Black Panthers from Oakland. See, let me tell you something, man. I have nothing but love for my people, man. And people in general, you know, I've never been like a space bank. Like, oh, they from Oakland. We LA. You know what I'm saying?   But when it's our people, I love my Bay Area niggas. I love my Oakland niggas. When y'all come to LA, I come from that club for a week. Your money don't work with us. And you know what? Your money don't work. On mamas, right? Your money don't work.

Bookaboo, you know niggas? From LA. Yeah. Yeah, they took care of us, man. Yeah. We love them niggas. That's how I get down. And that's all I think, like, you know, it was so easy for, like, Tupac to Segway. Now, I mean, from being, you know, in the Bay, Oakland heavy, you know, to find that same type of love and LA and feel at home, no matter where, what city he was in, you know, he found his people, you know what I mean?  You was outside when Poc came out here? That's my top Poc out of duty. Oh, man. LaShawn. LaShawn. That's my nigga. He was out of here. He was out of here.  Yes, yes.

That's what I loved about him. He would be all on the ground. Just ah! Yeah. Yeah, he was one of those dudes, man. And he had always been in LA. Poc wasn't, Poc seemed Poc to start crying. Me and Poc used to always be, because I was a fool twice.  You don't do hard drugs. No, no. Anybody out there? He's so young. Like, man, this could be one of the two Poc interviews they're gonna use.

I got banned from a lot of places cause I wouldn't let the comedians do their job. And that was before you was a comedian? Before I was a comedian. Before I was a comedian. That's crazy. Maybe I did, I was on a cruise when I was 17. I was thinking about getting into comedy. When I was 17, I was thinking about it. Like what I'm gonna do when I get out of high school.   Cause you know they have comedians perform on the cruise.    But it was crazy cause I already was thinking about being a comedian before that happened. And I didn't even do it. I didn't try to do the show. I didn't go to the show heckling a nigga.      I just tell the truth, bro. I was at the improv. I seen it, I said, oh, okay. When you know it, I forgot it. Yeah. You got it.  Yup, yup. I've been there also. Yeah, but I said, you're stand up. See, it's a difference between like, like, like, stand up, stand up. That's the hardest job in the world. Yeah. A lot of people that's good at roasting K-transition. K-transition. Like, I think I'm a better standard comedian and a better roaster. Exactly. Like, when I see y'all, y'all be outside roasting, I don't even participate. Get up and do that. I'm a macker, you know what I'm saying? Niggas trying to roast me.  You know how to know bitches. You know what I'm saying? I'm a, like, personal roaster. Like, I don't get mad. I'm not a person that's gonna get mad.  Like, I don't have to say, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See, L.A., we call it bag.  We call it bagging. In L.A., bag. We put you in a body bag. That's where the bagging comes from. They roast the chicken. Can we just say bagging? Man, why you bagging me out? Yeah, bagging. We would bag. So me wanting to be a comedian, I've already dominated rap. I battled everybody in rap. I'm a lyricist, but I used to love comedian because I'm a funny guy. I could bag since school. I was a class clown. I was just, you know, the gangbanger that made everybody laugh, you know? Put their guns down.  We ain't gotta shoot everybody. Yeah. I always wanted to, like, you know, do comedy. A little no-hug. Yeah, you tried it. I tried it one time. You got hit with tomatoes. It was a hard crowd.  You gotta come up there, man. I got a ton of teas. I didn't talk about it. No, you got a ton of Oakland. You got a ton of Oakland. It's different. Going out there, we shut out that. We love everybody better. That's a whole, that's like, basically, Tommy Teaser be like Clover City. Okay. Clover City. Clover City, Santa Monica. Oh, okay. And Oakland would be South Central. South Central.  Santa Monica. You gotta come to South Central. You gotta come to South Central. Yeah, so we be, he performed in South Central of Oakland.  Up the bay. And I came in with a strategy. I had my storyline. I had my jokes. I didn't come in bagging, right? And it was my first time. And you know, it was, and I'm good in front of the camera, you know, just in general, but this being my first time and then feeling like, okay, I know these motherfuckers in here, low key. Or they know me. And they just sitting there waiting for me to say something funny.  And once I didn't get the reaction, I kind of got thrown off.  But now that stage funny is something totally different. And then just knowing the comparisons of like, you know, bagging and storyline. And that's how, like, I look at it, right?   No, no, it took me 20 years to get to where I'm at right now on stand-up. And I'm light years away. I see a nigga like Lewis Bell get up there. I was like, damn, boy, you need practice. And I've been 20 years. I've been doing it 20 years.    That's real spit. When I first did it, Renaldo Ray, I used to go to living color. My homies was a stage manager living colors. I used to a heckle Jamie. Jamie, get out to the hospital. Jamie used to, Jamie being in the motherfucking street in the parking lot with us. Jamie, we're filming Jamie would be with us. And he just, cause I was giving it to him. I would heckle. I would heckle. I'm the heckler. So Jamie now, she put that foot in there.  Anybody, anybody know me, anybody, it's okay, nigga. Hey, let me tell you something. Anybody know me, took tucking a nigga in LA. I used to go to living, man, this is telling me when Alex Thomas, Dale Heath was, was the warm up guys. I would be in the motherfucking stand, killin' these niggas. Ask Alex, what's the date? I'm gonna ask Alex, that's one of my old jeans. Ask Alex. I've been on ask for 30 years. Yeah. Ask Alex, ask Jamie or tell you. Hey, ask Scotty or tell you, I can go to Jamie's house up in the dirt there. And at three o'clock in the morning, then open that gate, the grandmom and them open the gate. Ask Trey Elliott.  I ain't never, I'm not a buddy hustler. I don't, I don't, I'm a 50 years old, bro. I don't lie, bro, I'm F-O-T, follows the truth. I always tell the truth. The truth gon' set you free, man. That's on my mama, rest in peace. My mama was murdered, sugar mama when I was nine years old. But you know, this is South Central. Facts, let me lay him. So let me lay him, I'ma stand up for you. Let me lay him. Yeah. So, so Jamie and you say, yeah, Bogey's gon' rouse him, but can you do what we do?  Greasy. Inglewood, my nigga Inglewood, Chris Spencer, they coerced me to get on stage, my first time on stage at the clown house, the town house. Inglewood? Inglewood, a lot to hear. Clown house, Reynardo Ray, rest in peace, host him. Host him.    I got 10 bitches, women got a couple of homies. You had 10 bitches. 10 bitches, I got all the bitches. Because I know- He thought nobody's gon' catch that. I had 10 bitches. I got 10 bitches, the homies said, no, no, the bitches just there. You got to have some business. You got to have some business. I had the Barker beauties. What's the Barker beauty? The Barker, you know, from, let's say show with- Bob Barker. Bob Barker. The Barker beauties. The Barker beauty. Bob Barker. Yeah. What a fortune. No, it wasn't a real fortune. Price is right, baby. Price is right, yeah. Price is right. I was just with Ms. Park and she was on the list and let me land.  So I get faded. I forget my whole routine. I forget my whole routine. And this is your first time going out of routine? First time ever on stage. Oh, okay. First time at the Clown House, the Town House. I called it the Clown House. It's 27 years ago. So if you know, if you know right through a lot to hear it, it's a, the Post Office, the old Post Office women worked there. They all come over there to watch comedy. They in their uniforms about 30 black bitches. Old black bitches. They gave me the keys. I forgot my material. I got nervous. I was stuck like a deer in the truck for headlights. Have you ever been stuck? Yeah.  I'm off of the game of the keys.  Hell yeah, because they gave me the keys. The old women. So the keys mean you doing bad? You drown you out. You can't hear nothing. Just think about 50 old black bitches' keys. Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink. So that was like the light? No, that you can't hear. It's like get off stage. It's like throwing a tomato. It drowns you out. It drowns you out. Just think about when you shake your keys. Clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk. Never thought I'd never seen that. I got the keys.  Right? Because when they do the keys, it drowns you out. Just think about 50 people with the keys. Shake your keys. That would be loud. It would drown you out. Can't nobody hear you. Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink.  I'm mad at the buffer.  They threw me nigga. Ronaldo Ray came back on the stage. He said, hey, somebody, oh, put the light on that little comedian. Don't quit your day job. And then Scroncho was dead. Shout out to my nigga, Scroncho. Shout out to Scroncho, man.  And them niggas came up to me and said, hey, oh, boo. Yeah, you were loaded. You can't get your Al Tumay. You can't get too much drunk, man. You got to get in the mirror.     They don't believe me. When you get in the mirror, don't be too drunk. Do three minutes, get you three minutes, then get you six minutes, you got your eight minutes, and then you get to 15 minutes. When you get to 15 minutes, you're ready. And then you can go to 30.  And then I was distraught, bro.   I'm going back to gangster rap. It's a lot of planning that goes into it. Why do you think people that sell a good at roasting are hood funnies can't transition to stays? Because I'd be wanting to encourage all the street niggas. Because the funniest people I know are not comedians. So I'd be trying to encourage them to like, just give it a try because, you know, coming from, you know, our urban space, you feel me? Comedy is not cool because you don't want to come off like as a joke, you feel me?  I got it for my uncle, my auntie. Why do you feel like it's hard to transition though?  The thing about me, I killed it from there. I did six months, didn't do it. It's like at the bank age, keep swinging. You're gonna get good. Standard, I'm a killer at stand up. And one thing about me, I used to be scared to tell it's my brother said, you're not a gangbanger anymore, boo.  Tell your truth. I have, man, I can talk about my uncle's, my mama.  Can't nobody still nothing that's real to me? Oh mama. Right? I talk about me, see, it's a difference between comedians and comics. Comedians, we talk about us. Comics talk about them, right? Comedians, we make things funny. Comics say things funny. So it took me years to go deep in me. I gotta be butt naked truth, tell my truth. And I used to always look for the laugh.  I'm always looking for the laugh.  I want the people to be quiet is really when you're doing good, when they're quiet. Yeah, I've been learning that. They're paying attention. I've been learning that. Yeah, because then you could deliver your punchline because they, silence used to scare me. I thought when they got quiet, I thought I wasn't doing good. Thank you. But that mean they really listening. But it can't be just silent the whole time. No, no, it can't be silent. It's a roller coaster. Exactly, it's a roller coaster. Bring them up, drop them, bring them up, drop them.  You know what I'm saying? And I was looking like, cause you don't need to think, who's this thing, why are you up here hosting? Why does this nigga there? And then I said, okay, now I see, I see why he's there, this thing funny. And he talked to the crowd. So it took me a long time to learn just how to talk to the crowd. Just talk to them. Conversation, because it ain't about your jokes, it's about you. Right, and it ain't about no jokes. They, you're funny, your movements.  The jokes that's funny, it's you. They investing you, right? Yeah. It took me three or four years to take over Roast Me. I am the MVP of season five. I kicked Craig, get up, Craig. I kicked, you know, he's the greatest.  I been tearing them niggas up for years. Brant, hilarious, hilarious guys. Hilarious, Teddy man, recipe, Teddy's probably one of the funniest, he's the creator.  Yes, he did.

I put my head down, got to the back, Uncle Duby paid for everybody to get in. Taught me a lesson, but y'all saying it's real because we would always, your money don't work here, I got that from my uncle. Your money don't work here. Your money ain't good with me.

He's the best, he's the best. He's the code, you can do your research. And he would always say, man, when people come to our town, we have to roll the red carpet out, right? Right around. We roll that red carpet out. Because I want you to go back to Oakland and say, these niggas, L.A. They took care of us. They took care of us. And they, we didn't have to pay nothing. And that's how real niggas get out. That's how I get out. Your money don't work here, nigga. What you want, nigga, let's go.  Yeah. Because we ready to deal. That's how niggas show love. Nigga, you good with me?  Ain't nobody gonna look at you wrong. That's how niggas show love. Exactly. Because if you with me, that's my responsibility. Nigga, you my responsibility. I can't go by niggas and say, what happened to Louis? What happened to my, what's up, boo? I gotta get in that circle now. They was with you. And you know what, I think that's where it originated from, but turned into protection, right?  Ain't nobody gonna look at you, anything of the sort. Just on some player, like I got you. And then it turned into some, oh, hold on, in order for you to do this, you know, I gotta have you and you gonna have to pay for this. That's what it takes good. And blow their mother for it. You know what I'm saying? He shouldn't have to pay for it. You should never have to pay for it.  I'm from the J.I. I starred alone, I starred alone, one-man gang I Beer. Two, five times.

We any people, human beings, you know what I'm talking about? And when y'all, like Oakland nigga, I got so much love for y'all because y'all saved West Coast hip hop. Oh my God. Y'all saved it. I don't even, when nobody say, look at it. When Cube and we was having it, right? Y'all did the Bay Area, Oakland saved West Coast hip hop. I'ma ask you one question. Y'all put it on y'all. Y'all wrap it up, man. I'ma ask you one question before we get up out of here. Why do you think, I'ma spit something for y'all, too. Why do you think Dre ain't never did nothing with E40? Cause Dre is a, but E40, listen man, E40 is one of the greatest. Of course.   And when they crossed, they ain't never really crossed paths. When they cross paths, Dre's a type of nigga out of sight, out of mind. If you in the studio with Dre, he's gonna put you on a track.  That's how Dre's like that. But look, look, look. Dre, if you, if you in the studio with him, if E40 can ever get in the studio with Dre, Dre gon' put him on the track. Man, but E40 don't need to just, I need to get in the studio with Dre. It gotta be a mutual respect. For sure. It ain't no, you put me on this and nigga, you don't think Dre, you don't think Dre respect E40? Yes, he do. I think he do. So I think it gotta be a mutual respect. But now listen, listen, I'll say this, right? E40 to spoke on this before, right?     The only person he ain't did nothing with was. But too short too. But Dre. Let me tell you something, Dre. Dr. Dre's a good friend of mine, man. Dr. Dre, out of sight, out of mind. I'm telling you, if you, it's like two. For the past 30 years?  Man, my nigga, my nigga, I give you an example. My nigga, DeFaride, DeFaride, I'm on his album. DeFaride got on the clinic 2001 album, right? The Alcoholics was known that album. Alcoholics put exhibit in the gang. It was a group called the Alcoholics. Alcoholics, from LA, you know what I'm saying? Exhibit, they brought his King T. Oh, I swear. King T brought him out, King T. So DeFaride is on that clinic 2001, that is right. You know why? Because he was just taking exhibit up to the studio. It was just there. Dr. Dre's a type of nigga, he's a queryist. If you're there, he gonna put you on.  That makes sense. That makes sense? I get that, yeah. I tell you, if E40 can end up in the studio with Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre gonna put him on. Dr. Dre is a very meticulous producer. You tell him, he said, boo, man, just write it. It's my nigga, you know what I'm talking about? But I'm not a buddy hustler. But if I'm there, come on, what do you need, boo? It's out of sight.  That being said, y'all, I'm gonna spit something out real quick. Spit something out before we wrap out, man.   Rest in peace to Michael, I'm a smooth criminal. You know it's belt, belt, I'm with Louis Belt.  I gotta get that bag, where my top not swag. Y'all put these niggas with a hot chop bag.

Y'all, subscribe, tap in with the guy. I'm Tom Moe. Yes, Lord, show him my nigga, Yuck Moe. Yuckie! Yuckie! Yuckie!


This is St. Cloud State in a minute. Our institution is known to have had four official seals with the first appearing in early 1930s course catalog. At the time, we were known as the State Teachers College. The seal prominently featured the cupola of the old main building. In 1958, a new seal was created by faculty member James Crane because our name changed to St. Cloud State College in 1957. This second seal incorporated the symbolism of the Mississippi River, the relatively new Stewart Hall and Sun to represent light, learning, and knowledge. In 1975, we officially became St. Cloud State University and needed a new seal. Minimal changes to the previous seal were made. In 2000, a campus-wide online election was held to choose a new university seal, the one we have today with oak leaves and the River View cupola. The words, excellence, and opportunity were originally written in Latin. Our university seal is most often seen on diplomas and other formal documents. That was St. Cloud State in a minute.


Collin Cruiser Artistic Director of Color for Jump Home Mitchell Systems here today to share with you guys another exciting video. This one featuring Color XG and Crema XG. Friendly reminder, techniques don't have to be super difficult. They can be very easy. That's what this one is. We are going in just using Permanent Color at the regrowth and three different shades of Crema XG on the ends to create dimension and movement in a really simple process that's gonna look fun, natural, vibrant, and beautiful. All right, so let's get into this look. First of all, it is starring Crema XG. For any of you guys that haven't used Crema XG, I wanna start off as to share with you what Crema XG is. It is our brand new vegan, no-ammonia demi-permanent color. It is formulated with cotton seed oil and rice milk. It loves, loves, repeat. Loves that type of texture we're looking at right now, that previously colored hair. It is also perfectly shade-maxed to work right alongside our Color XG, which we'll share with you today. So the first section here, it's a very organic look, very lived in. We're taking a circle section out of the top to allow us to let that kinda lay over top of our looks throughout. There's one consistent thing that's happening in this technique. It is our 6R Color XG in 20 vol at the root. That is our permanent hair color line. You guys can see, she has some natural regrowth. This 6R and 20 from Color XG is going to give us a beautiful, nice, vibrant red base, something that's gonna look great on her hair, and it's gonna also help us to really bring some life to those ends when we put our Crema XG from our mid-shaft to ends here. So this 6R and 20 volume is consistent. It is what we're using at every root here. So I went ahead and pre-did all that. You guys will see now I am working with our deeper tone, which is our 6R and 10-volume Crema. So we have our 20-volume Color XG at the root. We are now going to use our shade-matched formula on those ends. That is our Crema, that 6R and 10 vol. Basically what we're doing is we're going to deposit something a little bit deeper in tone throughout here in that nape area, which is going to allow our lighter colors to pop, because it's gonna fall on that depth. So using a foil just as a separator so it keeps her cape a little cleaner for filming. So 6R, 20-volue Color XG, that's gonna lift. That's our permanent color. Our demi-permanent on those mid-shafts and ends. We don't wanna put ammonia on those ends. We also don't want those ends to be permanently red. We know she's gonna change her color, so Crema's perfect for that. So now that we have a little more depth, I'm gonna take that inverted V-section. I'm going to apply my 6R and 20-volume Color XG at the root. Again, that's a consistent formula throughout all of our roots here. We need that permanent color to lift and provide that beautiful red tone and canvas. And then we're going to now work with our 7-O-R and 10-volume Crema on those mids. So one of the things I wanna talk about as we start to think, yeah, hair color works in two ways. It works in level and it works in tone. Tone directly affects level. So yes, we're using a brighter level and our 7 is gonna appear brighter, but we're also using a brighter tone. We're using orange instead of red. So where that red's gonna give us a little bit of depth, that orange is going to give us a little bit of pop and light reflection. So these two colors seem very close, but I think it's little decisions like this that we make that really create beautiful, organic hair color using different tones, different levels to really get some movement and some creativity in our color. So I alternated that 7-O-R with our 6-R. So one section 7-O-R, one section 6-O-R. So we can start to create some movement through the back panel. I'm now working on the front hairline 6-R, 20-volume Color XG at the root. That's gonna give us our lift again. And around this hairline, I'm going to start towards that hairline with our third color, which is our 8-R-O Crema XG in 10-volume. This is our brightest color.  Now that that section's done, I'm gonna drop this next section and what I'm gonna do now is start to bring in that 7-O-R to provide a little bit of depth. So what you guys can see, think about it as a balayage. We have our O-R, kinda our brighter 8-level around the face. Now we're tying that together with our 7. We're gonna repeat that on the same side, on the other side, excuse me. So same formulas, just repeating on the other side. One of the things I love when I'm in these organic kind of color modes is I like to be in the moment. So it's good to have a pattern. It's good to have a general idea of what you wanna do. But it's also good to be in the moment with the hair. So sometimes there's more hair on the left side than the right side. So you don't exactly do the same thing you're doing, but you're creating the same concept, just by being in the moment with the hair. So ultimately, we did that 8RO on those ends around the hairline for a little more pop, and then we're bringing that 7-O-R in this section right here for a little more depth. We have our last section, which is that beautiful top circle. It's gonna act as a panel that's gonna overlay all the great work that we put in through the interior there. 6R, 20 volume Color XG at the root, gives you the lift that you need. And then what we're going to do in through that top area is we are going to go in with our 7-O-R on that mid shafts and ends. Again, crema is an absolutely amazing product that makes the hair feel totally different when it's done. It really is like a conditioning treatment to the hair. So it's pretty exciting. So I'm working that in, making sure I don't have any holidays, really saturating. What I love too is that the crema XG is perfectly shade matched for the Color XG, so you don't have to really worry about overlapping or anything like that. You're also gonna get beautiful, long-lasting results from the crema that fade on tone, which is awesome when you're working with demi-permanent on the ends. This process, this is for 20 minutes, and there's our final look. You have a beautiful dimensional red, deeper at the base, brighter on those edges and ends. You can see the dimension and the movement that we created there. Hope you guys enjoy. Hopefully you guys enjoy that technique. Again, very simple, permanent color at the regrowth Color XG, three different shades of demi-permanent, crema XG at the ends. Hopefully you guys can see this, use it, and it brings you a lot of money and a lot of happy clients. So if you liked this video, definitely follow us on our YouTube page, John Paul Mitchell Systems.
