HOW ARE YOU?
>> HOW AM I?
I AM IN THE GREATEST MOOD AND 
HAVING THE GREATEST TIME OF MY 
LIFE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
I WAS LOOKING AT YOU.
I WAS WATCHING THIS DOCUMENTARY.
WHICH I REALLY ENJOYED, BY THE 
WAY.
SO I'M WATCHING YOUR 
DOCUMENTARY.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: AND THERE'S A VIDEO, 
AND IT LOOKS OLD, BUT HONESTLY, 
I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.
I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I WAS 
LOOKING AT IT AND THE GUY DOING 
THE INTERVIEW SEEMED LIKE HE WAS
FROM ANOTHER TIME.
BUT YOU LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME.
AND IT TURNED OUT IT WAS MORE 
THAN 20 YEARS AGO, THAT 
INTERVIEW.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S GOING ON?
ARE YOU TAKING GWYNETH PALTROW'S
VITAMINS?
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOU?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I HAVE BEEN TAKING HER VITAMINS 
FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S REMARKABLE.
>> THIS IS WHY I LOOK LIKE THIS.
>> Jimmy: BUT YOU REALLY HAVE 
NOT AGED EVEN LIKE -- DO YOU 
FEEL LIKE YOU'VE NOT AGED OR DO 
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU LOOK AT 
YOURSELF AND GO OH, YEAH, I CAN 
SEE A LITTLE HERE, LITTLE THERE?
>> I FEEL LIKE I LOOK PRETTY 
YOUNG AND FRESH.
>> Jimmy: YOU DO LOOK YOUNG AND 
FRESH.
>> I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT GOD IN 
ME AND IT'S JUST SHINING.
>> Jimmy: IS THAT WHAT IT IS?
GOD IS SHINING?
YOU?
>> GOD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT.
YOU -- 
>> FEEL THE ENERGY!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO 
MAKE THIS DOCUMENTARY?
>> IT WAS MY IDEA.
>> Jimmy: YOU SAID I WOULD LIKE 
TO MAKE A FILM ABOUT MYSELF.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YES.
I SAID TO MYSELF -- I SAID TO 
MYSELF, BECAUSE MY BELIEF IS SO 
CRAZY AND I WOULD JUST TALK TO 
GOD AND HE WOULD LET ME KNOW IT 
WAS ALL RIGHT WHEN I WAS COMING 
UP.
AND I SAID TO MYSELF, SOMEBODY 
NEED TO GET THE CAMERAS ROLLING 
ON ME BECAUSE I THINK THAT MY 
LIFE AND THE THINGS THAT 
WHATEVER'S GOING TO HAPPEN COULD
BE INSPIRATIONAL.
SO I STARTED SHOOTING THIS MOVIE
WHEN I WAS 19.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID REALLY IN A 
WAY.
ONE OF THE MOMENTS IS YOUR 
FORMER BOSS IS TALKING ABOUT 
WHEN YOU WERE LIKE JUST A YOUNG 
EMPLOYEE AND HOW HE SENT YOU TO 
MAKE A DELIVERY -- 
>> BUT THERE WAS A CAMERA THERE 
ALSO.
YOU CAN SEE IT.
THAT'S HOW CRAZY IT WAS.
>> Jimmy: BUT YOU WERE LIKE A 
HUSTLER.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: AND I DON'T MEAN THAT 
IN THE TYPICAL WAY WE HEAR 
HUSTLER IN THE HIP-HOP 
COMMUNITY.
LIKE WHEN YOU HAD A JOB TO DO 
YOU'D TAKE THE PACKAGE, YOU'D 
RUN DOWN THE STREET, YOU'D RUN 
BACK AND SAY WHAT CAN I DO NEXT.
>> YES.
I REALLY FELT THAT IF I COULD BE
TRUSTED WITH DELIVERING A TAPE 
THE BEST, TO BE THE BEST TAPE 
DELIVERER, THAT MAYBE I WOULD 
GET A CHANCE TO HAVE THE 
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING 
ELSE.
AND I SET MY EYES ON THE RECORD 
BUSINESS AND GETTING A CHANCE TO
GET IN CHARGE OF THE ARTISTS.
THAT WAS MY WORK.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU BUILT THIS 
EMPIRE THAT HAS OBVIOUSLY 
RESULTED IN YOU -- YOU HAVE MANY
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, MAYBE EVEN 
CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS.
IS THAT A GOAL OF YOURS, TO MAKE
A BILLION DOLLARS?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: IT IS NOT?
>> NO, IT'S NOT A GOAL.
MY GOAL IS TO BE HAPPY.
>> Jimmy: YOUR GOAL IS TO BE 
HAPPY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
YOU'VE TAKEN STEPS TOWARD THAT 
GOAL IN A SPECTACULAR WAY.
NOW, THIS IS FROM THE 
DOCUMENTARY.
THIS IS A ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: IT'S A CANDY ROOM IN 
YOUR HOUSE.
IT'S A ROOM FULL OF CANDY.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: WHY DO YOU HAVE A 
CANDY ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE?
HOW MUCH POT ARE YOU SMOKING?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I MEAN, FROM A KID EVERY DAY 
AFTER SCHOOL I WOULD GO TO THE 
CANDY STORE, YOU KNOW.
AND THEN ONE DAY I WOULD ALSO 
WALK AROUND DOWNTOWN IN NEW 
YORK.
AS I GOT OLDER, I SAW IT DYLAN'S
CANDY STORE, AND IT JUST TOOK ME
BACK TO MY YOUNGER AGE.
AND I JUST -- I'M A YOUNG SOUL, 
AND I JUST NEED SOME CANDY IN MY
HOUSE.
SO I MADE A CANDY ROOM.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE LIKE DIDDY 
WONKA.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I BELIEVE I CAN MAKE ANYTHING
HAPPEN.
>> Jimmy: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE 
CANDY?
>> JOLLY RANCHERS AND SWEET 
TARTS.
>> Jimmy: JOLLY RANCHERS AND 
SWEET TARTS.
WHICH FLAVOR JOLLY RANCHER?
>> CHERRY.
WILD CHERRY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S THE ONE I LIKE 
TOO.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
>> AND I LIKE THE BLUE SWEET 
TARTS P. 
>> Jimmy: THE BLUE SWEET TARTS.
I WOULD IMAGINE YOU HAVE A LOT 
OF THOSE IN THERE.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: WHO'S THE MOST FAMOUS 
PERSON THAT'S BEEN IN THE CANDY 
ROOM?
>> PROBABLY STEVIE WONDER.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
STEVIE WONDER.
WHAT DID HE HAVE?
ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEAD IS GOING
IN A MILLION DIFFERENT PLACES.
LIKE DID YOU TELL HIM WHICH 
CANDIES WERE THERE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> MAN.
THE WAY STEVIE MOVES, HE JUST GO
AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.
IT'S NOT NO -- HE'S NOT -- 
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN STEVIE DOING 
THAT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW 
WHERE HE'S GOING.
>> Jimmy: HE ALWAYS KNOWS WHERE 
EVERYTHING IS.
>> YEAH.
HE'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE ON.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HE'S LITERALLY TOLD ME.
>> Jimmy: HAS HE REALLY?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: HE KNOWS WHAT THE 
MATERIAL IS OR WHAT THE DESIGNER
IS?
>> HE'LL EXPLAIN WHAT HE SEES.
>> Jimmy: OH, REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND IS IT RIGHT OR YOU
JUST TELL HIM IT WAS RIGHT?
[ LAUGHTER ]
AMAZING, STEVIE, YOU DID IT 
AGAIN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, I'M WEARING MY 
GHOSTBUSTERS JUMPSUIT.
>> NO, HE'S RIGHT.
HE'LL SAY YOU HAVE ON A BLUE 
SUIT AND A WHITE STRIPED TIE.
>> Jimmy: A LOT OF THIS 
DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLES YOU 
PUTTING TOGETHER THIS BAD BOY 
REUNION CONCERT THAT -- I THINK 
THIS KIND OF GIVES A LITTLE 
SENSE OF HOW YOU DO BUSINESS IN 
GENERAL.
>> DRUM ROLL, PLEASE.
>> I DO NOT LIKE THE LIGHTS.
IF I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION 
RIGHT NOW, I WOULD CHANGE THE 
RIG RIGHT NOW.
I LIKE GOD LIKE.
GOD'S LIGHT COMES THROUGH, 
SHOOM.
IT JUST HITS YOU LIKE IT'S GOD'S
LIGHTS.
I DON'T WANT THE CHRYSLER THAT 
LOOKS LIKE THE FANT M.
I WANT THE FANTOM.
>> Jimmy: YOU WANT THE FANTOM.
DO YOU HAVE THE FANTOM?
>> YEAH.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN SOMETHING I 
THINK CAN INSPIRE DREAMERS.
AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A DREAMER, 
AND I'VE ALWAYS JUST WANTED TO 
BE AT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF 
EXCELLENCE.
SO THAT'S WHAT THAT'S ABOUT.
LIKE WHEN I'M PUTTING MY SHOWS 
TOGETHER THE GUYS, IF WE'RE 
GOING TO WORK, GET ME THE BEST.
GET ME THE BEST BECAUSE THAT'S 
WHAT THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO SEE 
FROM THE SHOW.
SO I'M VERY PASSIONATE WHEN I 
WORK AND I TRY TO ALSO BE A 
LITTLE BIT FUNNY TO TAKE THE 
EDGE OFF A LITTLE BIT.
THAT'S JUST REALLY THE WAY I 
WORK.
THAT'S WORKING WITH ME EVERY 
DAY.
>> PROBABLY THE LIKE SADDEST AND
MOST INTERESTING PART WAS WHERE 
YOU TALK ABOUT BIGGIE AND TUPAC 
AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENED 
THERE AND THE EAST COAST AND THE
WEST COAST.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: AND WHEN YOUR TOUR 
CAME TO L.A., SOMETHING THAT 
WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE BACK
THEN.
SNOOP AND DR. DRE JOINED YOU 
ON -- 
>> ON STAGE, YES.
>> Jimmy: ON STAGE THAT TOUR.
WHAT DID THAT MEAN TO YOU?
>> YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND, 
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST 
THINGS TO HAPPEN IN OUR CULTURE.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE LIVING IN THE 
RESULTS OF THE HIP-HOP CULTURE.
SO AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS THERE 
WAS AN EAST-WEST WAR OVER MUSIC 
AND PEOPLE WERE KILLING AND 
GETTING KILLED.
AND YOU KNOW, WE DEAL WITH THAT 
IN THE MOVIE.
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST 
SO SURREAL AND SO SERIOUS AND SO
UNFORTUNATE AND SO SAD.
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE 
HAD TO DEAL WITH.
>> Jimmy: AND IT'S NOT LIKE THAT
ANYMORE, IS IT?
>> IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
WE WERE ALL SCARED.
SOMETIMES THINGS IN YOUR LIFE 
COULD JUST GET OUT OF CONTROL.
WE NEVER WANTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH EACH OTHER.
WE WERE ALL FANS OF EACH OTHER.
AND IT WAS JUST SOMETHING IN 
THAT DAY AND AGE THAT SPUN OUT 
OF CONTROL.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL BEEN FRIENDS
EVER SINCE.
SNOOP DOGG'S ONE OF MY BEST 
FRIENDS.
DRE IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, 
YOU KNOW.
AND IT'S JUST LIKE IT ALWAYS 
SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT, BUT 
SOMETIMES IN LIFE THERE'S 
TRAGEDIES SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN 
FROM THEM.
AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOD'S 
WORLD.
BUT YOU KNOW, THE GREATEST THING
IS HE PUT US ALL BACK TOGETHER.
>> Jimmy: IT'S SO INTERESTING, 
THIS DOCUMENTARY.
IT'S CALLED "CAN'T STOP, WON'T 
STOP: A BAD BOY'S STORY."
IT WILL BE AVAILAB
