2:22Shannon Sharpe:I got a long line, man. Come on, just jump in the line, man. Bring a line. Well, listen, if you have any type of auditions, regardless of how long the line is, I'm better than the whole line. I'm not worried about that. I just need the opportunity. Do your thing, baby.

I know about, I know, listen, hurry up and wait. I know about that all too well. So just let me know when. Got you. Cube, you're going on the headline tour.
2:59Shannon Sharpe:Your truth to power, four decades of attitude. This tour celebrates your 40-year legacy as a rapper, producer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and a cultural icon. It kicks off September the 4th. What made you decide to say, you know what? It's time for old Cube to hit the road again in tour. You know, I've always been touring. You know, I've always, you know, done dates. But, you know, to do a fully production, a full production, so to speak, is something I haven't done. You know, and after being in the game for four decades, you know, it's time to really just focus on the career. not only celebrate the music, but also show the influences.
3:48Shannon Sharpe:What made me write this kind of music. Growing up, coming up, the events, we're going to cover the 80s, the 90s, 2000s, up until the 2020s. So it's just for an Ice Cube fan, this is a way to get closer to me as an artist, to understand me as an artist, understand some of the songs that I've done throughout my career, and then jam out. You know what I mean? I got a lot of hits over these 40 years and all that. and do some of the songs that sometimes I don't get to on some of these other shows, but now we're going to have to ...
4:43... ... ...
4:50Shannon Sharpe:... ... ... It's going to be cool. I don't know which is worse. the Raiders or that Wi-Fi, but they're both pretty awful. Man, don't be saying it's my Wi-Fi, man. I'm going to have no problem with just Wi-Fi. Who Wi-Fi you think it is? Y 'all in two different places. Y 'all ain't in the same spot. It's a thousand people. I know, and we got no issues. You mentioned, Q, that this tour is going to be about spanning your career, 40 years. you probably are part of one of the most influential, if not the most influential groups, because you ushered in something, the gangster rap era. You NWA, you Dre, Easy, DOC, Yellow.
5:43Shannon Sharpe:At the time when y 'all put this together, did y 'all realize that damn near 40 years from now that people was going to give you your due and pay you homage to what you guys had done? Did you think about that when you guys were putting this group together? Not at all. You know, we didn't even think about, you know, so-called ushering in the gangster rap era. Because at the time when we did our music, all rappers had their own styles. It wasn't a follow-the-leader type of deal. It was either you create your own style or you're not going to rise to the top. So, you know, we created our own style out here on the West Coast.
6:29Shannon Sharpe:And we had no idea that the whole rap game would start to do the kind of music we were doing, you know. Yes, there was, you know, all kind of groups out when we first started in 1985, 86, 87, 88, 89. There was so many different styles of rap, from the Daisy Age to, you had Jungle Brothers, you had Fat Boys. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Melly Mel, you had Big Daddy Kane, you had Cool Mo D, you had LL, you had KRS-One. You had so many different flavors. Yeah. No way in the world did we think once we do this, all the flavors would turn into this flavor, you know, because that was actually considered a no no.
7:29Shannon Sharpe:You couldn't bite nobody's style. And so, you know, it was kind of a domino effect after the music came out. but there was no way for us to say, hey, it's time for this now because we were fans of all that other music too. We was fans of Big Daddy Kane and EPMD and, you know what I'm saying? Eric and Pross making dollars. Yeah, you know, so we was fans of all that music. Run DMC was king. Yep. You know, so. Houdini? Yeah. You know, it was like it was it was a great time for hip hop for sure. Hey, Q, man, you you you are a legend, man. You're a legend. You're an icon. And when I think about it and I sit back and I think about everything you've done, which about 40 years, you know, between Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Basketball Hall of Fame recognition.
8:32Do any of these accolades hold a particular special place for you? and which one would mean the most to you? Or collectively, do all of them kind of equal the same? Are they all equally yoked?
8:45Shannon Sharpe:You know, we started off in music, so Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is big because - Yeah. That's what all started. That's a crescendo. No, that's what all started. Yes, sir. The Walk of Fame is cool if they keep it clean. You know, you gotta go up there, coming down a little bit here and there. And look, you know, having an award in the Basketball Hall of Fame is something that, you know, you cannot even... That couldn't even be in my dreams because I had no way... Yeah, because you can't hoop. Yeah, how you get in the Hall of Fame when you can't hoop? You know, I can fuck around and get a triple-double only.
9:27Shannon Sharpe:You. Any day. Whatever. Any day. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, being in that, you know, it's kind of like a pleasant surprise. But the Hall of Fame, you know, something every artist, you know, looks to achieve as far as recognition from the industry. And the music industry, a lot of mavericks, you know, a lot of people on their own page. So, you know, when they all come together and say, you know, you're one of those top artists in history, you know, that means a lot. Q, every year we have this, there is this, the top 30 greatest diss songs. And normally within the top five, top ten, no Vaseline.
10:23Yeah.
10:23Shannon Sharpe:We just had a guy had, I don't know, people are saying Drake might have, excuse me, KDOT might have had the greatest diss song considering who it went up against. When you look at what you, you know Vaseline. Yeah. You look at Hit Em Up. You look at Ether. You look at Not Like Us, Sheetha, Remy Ma, Nicky going at it. Where would you rank No Vaseline as far as diss tracks? And did you know it was going to land like it? I mean, it was a bulls-eye. It didn't just land. It was a bulls-eye. Perfect. Hey, you know, you can't take nothing from not like us. You know, won a Grammy. It was at Super Bowl.
11:06Shannon Sharpe:It's huge. When it comes to a feud, what's the most vicious feud you can get into? the more vicious feud you can get into is a family feud yeah so when it's a family feud don't get more vicious than that so yeah just because the fact that it was a family feud and we were in close proximity uh and we ran in the same circles and knew the same people No Vaseline is hard to beat Because You know You did your thing on it now Yeah you know Dissing somebody that's far away from you is one thing But you know Dissing somebody you can run into the next day Or any day Is another thing So I just You know what I'm going to say man Come on now Chad you know how it goes It's A It is A Hey, I ain't gonna fight you because like I said, no Vaseline, hit him up with Tupac going at Biggie.
12:13Shannon Sharpe:Classic. Nas with ether. Yeah. SniffingGriffithsBBQ.com. Go get it, Portage Live coming up. Please go get it. OG, I got a music question for you. So after last summer with the Kendrick and Drake beef, I know it got a lot of attention, got the West Coast with more eyes and more attention that it's had in a really long time, if we're being honest. Yeah. What advice would you give to young West Coast artists about longevity in the industry? And what's your takes on that beef? As far as the Kendrick and Drake beef, I just looked at it just like how it was with NWA and Eazy-E, you know, or any other, like Nas and Jay-Z, just like a battle.
13:03I looked at it like that. But, you know, the court stuff and all that, that ain't how we used to get down. We used to just go at it and tell somebody just declared the winner. But, I mean, it's, you know, they both doing their thing right now. They both successful. Drake has actually got a really good record out that's tearing up the charts. Kendrick's still tearing up the charts. so I mean it's cool you know that they kind of died out and they're back to doing what they're doing and selling records and being who they are and as far as like the young generation I just try to tell them you know just don't ruin your relationships with the industry or people in the industry just always be solid and carry yourself in a cool way Don't be one of those dudes that's all over the place getting in trouble and shit all the time and doing crazy stuff.
14:03Just be just be cool and be yourself. You don't need to do all of the, you know, the gun toting and all that extra shit because it make make us look like animals. You just keep good relationships, have a great manager, keep some great lawyers and a great team around you that can that can tell you when, you know, when. okay, you know, you got to have somebody to tell you, like, man, that ain't working. You know, and you got to be able to accept the criticism from your team and not down them because they're looking out for your best interest. And if you got two or three different people saying the same thing, then you got to take a couple steps back and look and say, maybe they are right.
14:50Let me change this up. So you got to have a good support system as well. and just you know like i said from hip-hop to the nfl to basketball to baseball to soccer whatever it is all the young guys invest that's the main thing invest when you get your bread make sure you invest so you can keep that money going so when you're done with this you still got that bag but then you got this over here that was quietly building right and then you know it gives you its It's longevity and you can relax and just be able to put all your family on and put everybody on and be able to provide them with jobs. Just a lot of good things.
15:33Shannon Sharpe:I heard you keep saying this word and you emphasized it when you said it. Team, team. You said it probably three or four times. At what point or what age or what time in your career did you realize or you have a team that really excelled you? Like how soon did you know that it had to take a team? and was it just Warren G putting it together and going? I had a team from the start, you know, from doing my first album to getting put on by Def Jam.
16:05Just the support system I had with Lior and Russell and Kevin Lyles, Mike Kaiser, Julie Greenwald, Chris Lighty, Wes Johnson. I know the people that are going to be like, damn, it's negative. I had a support team that really helped me get to that extra step and get the music out there. At the same time, what it did was help a company that was going in bankruptcy that I didn't even know about. It pulled them out of bankruptcy and save that company then it opened the doors for jay-z dmx method man red man and everybody else so that was like what i did for them you know every time was going under going in bankruptcy they was going under they was going to bankruptcy oh man yeah right around that time yes indeed and i saved the company and uh they yeah wow and they they a huge company now because of that and um they they cool you know everybody that that was there uh i had a really good team and and you know i had i had a support system that that believed in me i didn't i didn't have they didn't have to say well war we need you to do this they said do what you do and we're gonna back you we're gonna be behind you 110 and i was like okay because some artists they you know some artists, the company will make them do what they want.
17:48You got to do what we want to do. That's why a lot of artists go in and out. When you first heard
17:57Shannon Sharpe:that Regulate B, how quickly did them bars write themselves or was you able to just jump right in, get straight to it? How was that process? Yeah, well, that day that I found the sample, I was out record shopping because that's what I do. I produce just as much as I'm an artist. I'm a producer just as much. So I was out record digging. And just digging for records. At the end of the day, I went to go grab me a bite from Roscoe's. Seen a cat out there with a crate of records. You know, he looked like he needed some help. So I was just like, man, how much for the whole crate? So he was like, you know, just give me what you want me to give him.
18:40So I gave him like, I think it was 500 bucks and took the whole crate. It was about at least like 60, 70 records. And once I got home, got in the pad, started relaxing and started listening to records to see if I could find samples or ideas that I could do for the album. So ran across Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers. I keep forgetting that that soon as I played it, it brought me back to my parents because that's who raised me on it. so when I heard it I was like damn this would be dope if I sampled this and redid it so I sampled it chopped it up I still got the discs and everything that I used to in the drum machine everything that I used to do that and uh so I did it chopped it up you know sampled it and had the beat going boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom and then i put the drums behind it added some keys and it it just it was banging and uh yeah it was it was banging and uh so i was just like who could i get on this record to to get down with me because this was And then brought us to the legendary Nate, dog.
20:00Yes, indeed. I called Nate. I said, Nate, I got one for me and you right now, man. Let's do like how Snoop and Dre did when they went back and forth. Let's do it like this. And so I freestyled that whole first verse that it was a clear black night. A clear white moon. Woman G was on the streets trying to consume some skirts for the eat. So I could get some balls. What else? Rolling in my ride. Chilling all alone. I freestyled out that whole shit. and then Nate came in and he, Nate came in, he wrote his part and then from there.

37:14Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, she's trying to get to the money on. She ain't about to - Yeah, definitely. That's what I like. That's what I like. So, no, but you know, Unc, I did actually just shout you out in a rap I posted on Instagram. Did you? Yeah, I did. And it's crazy because my boy, you know, Charlie Clips, battle rap legend, he just did the time me. Yeah, I three-o-ed him already. I 3-0 Charlie already. Come on now. You 3-0 Charlie Clips. I promise. I 3-0 Charlie Clips. Ask him. I'm going to call him right now. I'm going to call him and ask him. All right, I will. Ask him. So look, he just FaceTimed me, Unc, and we were talking about the show we got coming up.
37:53And I said, oh, I'm about to, you know, jump on Shay Shay and everything. He said, oh, man, you're going to tell him you just shouted him out in a rap? I said, I completely forgot. Yeah, just last week. Hey, Clips, look, I'm on here with, you know, Unc Shay Shay. We got Arshol Sync on here. We got Joe Johnson. And Chad right here said that he beat you in a rap. He say three-o'd you.
38:16Shannon Sharpe:I smoked him really fast. Oh, you smoked him crazy on YouTube? He can't deny. Why is he lying? Tell him don't lie like that. Oh, not. Hey, Clips, you can't do nothing with me. Son, don't lie to people like that, man. What you talking about, B? Yo, listen, man. Look, you retired on football on your own terms. I retired you on battle rap. You never battled again after that. Hold on. I'm finna battle. I'm finna surf to get out. I'm finna 3-0 him. Yo, free the wave. Surf bar smokes you. Definitely free the wave. Yeah.
38:59Oh, you got to get A2? Oh, this is great. I didn't know he battled DNA, too. Yeah, I'm really like that. He's not like that. All right, just here. Bro, I'm gonna call you when I get off here. All right.
39:10Shannon Sharpe:All right, much love to y 'all. Oh, you lost. Oh, give it up. So you already lost the three of my comrades? That's crazy. What's up, Unc? Let me ask you this. You kind of got your start on Wilding Out with Nick Cannon. Yeah. Did you expect to receive the love and the respect that you received when you went on that show? So what were your expectations when you went on Wilding Out? You know, when I went and auditioned for Wildin' Out, that was not my plan or trajectory at all. At the time, you know, I was just out here in these streets like Chad. I was rapping, you know what I mean? I was taking people's money, just like, you know what I mean?
39:48Just like, you know, Chad over here. And I just really wanted to be an artist, you know, singer, songwriter. And yeah, TV, I was not looking to be on TV. but a good friend of mine, Antonio Skits, he came to one of my music videos and he's really nice with the beatbox. So he started beatboxing. I started freestyling. Snapchat was lit at the time. And so he's posting on Snapchat and he's like, yo, sis, you got to audition for this show I'm about to audition for, Wild N Out. I was like, oh, that's the one where they come up with the songs on the spot. I'm like, I'll kill that. So he's the one who connected me with the producers.
40:26And that's my brother always because, you know, most people won't really look out like that, especially when he wasn't even on the show yet. But he connected me with the executive producers. And I sent in a bunch of videos of me freestyling outside in New York at SOBs on B-Reels radio show, just a bunch of different freestyles. They invited me to come audition and I bodied it. You know, I knew I bodied it. I knew I killed the audition. So they brought me back and then they brought me back again. And then I met Nick. And I remember at that audition, it was all the people from the tri-state, New York, New Jersey, maybe even, you know, Connecticut, Boston, whatever else was close.
41:02It was all of us. And, you know, we did the audition and they had us do a bunch of different games. And when it got to Wild Style, I just sat back a little bit. You know, it was like 15 on one side of the room, 15 on the other side of the room. Okay. Yeah.
41:14Shannon Sharpe:You're like, okay, I'm vibing. It's okay. Yeah, I'm vibing. And then as soon as someone hit me, I just like a machine gun, I went down the whole other side. And then when everyone was leaving, shaking the producer's hand, shaking Nick's hand, I remember I was the only one Nick said something to. He was like, where are you from? And I was like, Jersey. And he was like, all right. And I just left the audition knowing that, you know, if you stay ready. You know you had it. You knew you had bodied it. So you knew you was going to get the call back that you were going to be a regular. Yeah, yeah. So I got the call back.
41:45And then the rest was history. I shot my first season. That was season eight. And I've been on for 14 seasons now. I'm the longest running female. So I guess, you know, when you said, how did I think I was going to be received? Um, I really didn't know. I just knew being a female, being quiet. Um, I just knew I always had to really be that nice.
42:08Shannon Sharpe:You had to be like that. Yeah. I had to really be like that because nobody, people didn't want to give it up for me in general. That was just always my experience. I ran around to all these open mics throughout the work. And, um, you know, I always had to be like the nicest in the room to, you know, so I was just ready. I was ready. I was hungry. And, you know, when, once I got the opportunity, I just went for it. And, um, you know, the, the fan base loved me shout to them because they really make us who we are. And then, uh, everything took off from there. Were you, were you always good on the mic?
42:45Shannon Sharpe:Were you always quick witted? Were you always, did you always, is that what you always wanted to do? were you that were you that young lady that like people looking at you like why are you trying to be black you white why you can't do I'm sure you probably got a little bit of that for like you said you are a young lady a woman now and you were doing some things that there were not a whole lot of white rappers female rappers when you were coming up well you know what's funny it's a lot of white rappers men because the industry yes of them some white men it's I could name you like probably 50 white rappers right now got a lot it is a lot it's a it's a lot of white rappers um but yeah not female so um yeah I definitely got a lot of everything I got a lot of you know friction I really had to grind to get where I got and I really had to cut my teeth and nothing was easy for me nobody wanted to you know let me in um I had no connection didn't know anybody who knew anybody who knew and i'm looking at my mom like you don't know nobody nobody know nobody like you know so you got no connect yeah no connects um you know it's it's hard in jersey we don't have a radio station we don't have a sports team we don't have shit we had that's brief for a fleeting moment they took that right joe you you was with the we had we you know so um yeah i really really had to work hard and um yeah i was always nice with the words.
44:14I always had, you know, the gift of gab was always really good to put my words together. And I think when you just have a natural gift for something, and then you use that gift a lot, you just get a lot better. So once people be like, yo, yeah, like this white girl, like she freestyles, she's crazy with it. Everyone wanted to see me do it. So I was running around everywhere, just, you know, freestyling, open mics. And I used to go to the real ones in the city EO dub where, you know, they would beat juggle. They would slow down the beat, speed up the beat, like crazy shit that people just don't even do anymore, which is why when I went to sway shout the sway, I love him.
44:51One of my favorite people in the industry. Um, and I did the five fingers of death. I'm the first and only female to spit a real freestyle completely off the top. Um, DJ wonder was speeding up the beat and slowing it down. And they hadn't done that in years, years. So I asked and I went on Sway, bodied it. Wonder gave me the most trash beats, speeding up the beat. But I said to Wonder after, I said, damn, Wonder. I said, no, I actually said the Sway. I said, I'm surprised you guys were changing the BPM of the beat. He said, yeah, we haven't done that in years because no one could do it. And this is people who come with written.
45:31So I said to Wonder, so why'd you do it to me? Because I knew he was trying to fuck me up. He said, because you were talking so much shit that, you know, he really wanted to test me, but it just like made me shine more. So it's, I've always had to do that. Like that's always been kind of, you know, the situation.
45:53Shannon Sharpe:You had to be that much better in order to get just as far as someone that was average that was doing it. You had to be a step above, a cut above the rest. Correct. But I really think, you know, God put me on TV for a reason because, you know, TV, I got on TV and TV embraced me so much. I got on Wild N' Out and because of Wild N' Out, I had great success. I grew this platform. And then from Wild N' Out, they, you know, made me a host on TRL. They made me a host of How Far Is Tattoo Far, Revenge Prank, The Challenge, The Justina Valentine Show, Basic to Bougie. I'm the host now of Jersey Shore.
46:28Like it opened up so many doors for me that music just wasn't ready to. So like TV and film. And then from there, I started doing film. Like that was really the biggest blessing. And I think God just knew like, nah, you know, go this way. It's a lot more money this way. Go this way. That's what happened. Matter of fact, your work ethic, obviously, with what you have going on. I mean, listen, the proof is in the pudding. You got it out the mud. You've done it the hard way and you put the work in. And so you've been blessed with many opportunities. You've worn many hats though, rapper, actress, writer, producer, and host, obviously.
47:04How do you decide which hat to wear on any given project? Is it a money issue or are the projects that are given to you, do you always take things that fit you and which way you want to go and envision? Yeah, I think it's always about what's the most important thing at the moment. Like, for example, in 2022, we shot like three seasons of Wild and Out. We did two tours and I shot a movie that like I wrote, I directed, I starred in. I got my Eddie Murphy on. I play six characters. I finance. I did everything from A to Z for this movie. So it really monopolized my year. So that year, I really didn't do I didn't drop any music except I did the soundtrack from my movie.
47:49So that year is like, you know, music took a little backseat and all my efforts and energy went into the movie, which was the most ambitious thing I've ever done, but also made me that one thing was my biggest payday, that one project. So it's like, you know, that year was all about TV, film, tour, you know, and so like music took a backseat. So for me, it's I'm very fortunate to be able to do the projects and the things that I want to do. Of course, Wildin' Out, I'm always going to do. Nick could call me. I'm always pulling up for Nick. We'll be doing Wildin' Out until the people don't want to wild out anymore.
48:28which they want to keep Wildin' Out, you know? So I love that. And it's like we used to say, every time Nick made a new pregnancy announcement, we would announce a new season. So that was always like a beautiful thing. But look, he hasn't announced a pregnancy in a while and we're still shooting. So I love to see it. So I'll always pull up for Nick. I'll always pull up for Wildin' Out. And Wildin' Out is what gave me my platform. So I'm always beyond grateful to Nick, beyond grateful to Wildin' Out. So I'm always making time and space for a while now, no matter what's going on, you know? I have one more question.
49:03When it comes to all the projects that you're doing, how important for you, based on your vision and what you want to do, that fit you in the lane that you're in, how important is creative control on the projects that you're doing? It's very important to me, especially because, like, you know, like with the movie I mentioned and then myself and my cast member can see this. shout to CON, another battle rap legend. We just produced a TV show that we sold to Kevin Hart, shout to Kev and the LOL Network. It came out on Peacock and Tubi and all these projects, like I'm producing and I'm literally on the cutting room floor with the editor.
49:42Like I really, once I have the vision, I really have the vision. Sometimes I'm too hands on. They're like, all right, just like chill. Like give us the, we're not done yet. Like it's not even color corrected. So I am very hands-on, sometimes too hands-on. So my answer is I'm very involved in the creative from A to Z. So I think especially, and I know you guys can all relate because you have all your own stuff going on, your own brands, your own shows, et cetera. So it's like you have a vision for it and you really want to see it through. So yeah, I'm very involved.
50:16Shannon Sharpe:But the thing is, Justina, like, yeah, you're great at freestyling, but you can roast. and normally you know that's an art in and of itself people don't understand that we call it Jonin I went to an HBCU so we call it Jonin or ragging or bagging on somebody whatever y 'all we call it roasting whatever the case may be but for you to rap and you can roast also because to be great at roasting you gotta be off the cuff because it ain't no I'm gonna come back tomorrow and get you I gotta get you as soon as you're done with yours I gotta be firing right back at you Right. How are you able to do that?
50:52Shannon Sharpe:So are you listening? Like, OK, this is what we do? OK, go ahead. Go ahead. You first. So how does it just because it seems like it just comes so natural to you? Yeah, no, it really does. And I think I just go into demon mode. Like when we're in the wild spot and someone's rapping at me, I'm just, I'm listening. I think one part of my brain is listening to what they're saying to me. And then another part of my brain is just like really sizing them up. And it's so funny to me when people are like, oh, you know, do you guys have writers on Wild N Out? I crack up because I look at them and I'm like, if you think I could buy a rat from someone like a writer, come on.
51:32Like they would, first of all, like they would never give someone like me anything because they know I'm already like it's people on the stage that are already lethal. Do you think we could get help even if we wanted to? We shoot 30 episodes in 10 days. That means three episodes a day. Every day. Dude, everyone on the stage has something for me. They have something for me. They have something for DC. It's just certain people that everybody has something for. From the guests to the other castmates, it's like, you know, there have been battles that I've done on the show when guests have came, celebrity guests, and haven't been aired because those people, teams, have requested for it not to be aired.
52:18Whoa, whoa, whoa. I like that. Hey, hold on, hold on. Listen, can you do me a favor? See, on here, everything is a green light, right? Everything is a green light on here. And I'm not worried about being roasted because my grandma used to call me ugly. But can you give us an example of how good you are off the top of the head and roasted a little quick? All right, go ahead. Hit me first with something. Want me to hit you first? Get it, Justina! Come on, Chad, let's go. Yeah, come on.
52:48Shannon Sharpe:I'm with Justina. Teen Justina should have got me a t-shirt. Who side you on, honk? Honk, who side you on? I'm on Justina. We got a team of friends. OK, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, let me think of something good. OK, OK, OK. OK. Honk, you ready? I'm ready. Honk, you got to pay attention, man. I need you focusing on me. I'll get ready to fall up my chair when she tear your ass up. But go ahead. Who side you on? Who side you on? Honk, who side you on? I'm on Justina. I just told you. Damn. That's that you're taking a long time. I'm telling. Oh no, I'm trying to make sure he on my side.
53:24But here we go. Okay, here we go. Okay, if I haul that Justina She better holla back Before she got that BBL that ass used to be solid flat Body look like she's smoking a lot of crap Now she got that red hair like Jessica rabbit. So I said I'm about to do a violin back. Hold on. All right, you're taking too long.
53:53Shannon Sharpe:All right, there you go. Go, go, go get him. Get him. Get him, Justina. Joe, Unc, and Chad, all athletes. I will run with him. I will get with Uncle Shay Shay, but after 22, he's done with him. And Chad, watch how I'ma leave you. I know you like it in the ass. That's why you was a wide receiver.
54:17You good or you want to keep going? Justina, justina, how did I get it? You were supposed to give all this old choice. You just caught a straight. You standing next to him. I did, I know. You right under him. Hold on, hold on. He ain't finished, all right. I ain't finished. I'm coming back. This ain't what you really want to do. Nah, you got it. I'm going to let your head out. I'm not going to lie, Chad. I'm glad you stopped there because the thing is about me, this second round is about to go crazy on you.
54:47Shannon Sharpe:Because you don't know where to stop. Look, Chad, look. I will 3-0 you on here. I'm a real bad rapper. All right, go ahead. What you got next? Listen, listen. I done beat everybody. Ask Hitman about me. Well, you and Hitman about me. I'm going to definitely ask Hitman about you because y 'all got the same head. Y 'all both look like a milk dung. I'm going to definitely ask Hitman about you for sure. And I'm not going to lie, you and Hitman have the same teeth. Y 'all went to the same. Y 'all didn't say medium. Y 'all said just extra large, dog. Do a bunch of fucking Apple iPhone chargers in your mouth.
55:20A bunch of A411s in your mouth.
55:22Shannon Sharpe:Leave that girl alone, boy. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Honestly, I definitely mess with you. I love people that go off the top of their heads. So Somebody want to double team us, no ditty shit, just like, you know, rap and stuff. I'm with it. I appreciate it. Listen, honestly, I didn't have an opportunity to tell you because obviously we're doing a show and, you know, but I'm a fan of yours, always have been. I watch Wild N Out religiously, some of the other projects and stuff you have going on away from Wild N Out. I've also watched as well. I just want to say I salute you and I wish you much success in all that you do, sis, man.
56:07Trying to butter you up, Justina. No, but thank you so much. And I really appreciate y 'all. And of course, I'm a fan of y 'all as well. And, you know, I definitely got to, one day I want to sit on Shea Shea's couch as well. You know what I mean? Oh, you want to be on club, Shea Shea? Yeah, we'll definitely, we'll get the freestyle going in person. We'll set up the beat. We'll do all that good stuff, you know? Have Shea Shea put some topics.
56:29Shannon Sharpe:Are you going to have a drink? Are you going to have a drink with me? I'll have a drink with you. If I start drinking, we're going to really be, you're going to have to bring a few people in there to battle me. You know what I'm saying? Now, I'll definitely have a drink with you. I can't come on Club Shay Shay and not have a drink. Okay, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Go ahead, Ocho. That's it. No, what I want to ask you this, Justina. Like, when you go at the guys, do you ever feel bad going at the guys, or do they ever take it personal? um no i would say as far as okay so the inner circle of wild and out which is you know the those of us that go on tour yeah you dc chico yeah like those those are all my brothers you know and it's like um those are all my brothers and my sisters like that inner circle that goes on tour and we all know what it is we have said everything to each other you know what i mean um So that's all love.
57:28Now, there have definitely been guests that have came on the show. And I'm just looking like, have they not watched the show before? They've definitely probably been offended. They came on Wilder now, they got offended? Yeah, like, and it's just like, wow. Like I said, it's been some battles that I've done that have never seen the light of TV. And one in particular one, the producer called me. She's like, yo, yo, Tina. She would call me Tina. She's like, yo, I'm watching the battle with so-and-so. And yo, you are that bitch. And I was like, yo, I can't wait to see it. You know, what, like, episode is that going to be this season?
58:07She's like, oh, no, you're not going to see it. I was like, damn. She was like, no. She was like, you destroyed that girl. As soon as we were done filming, her team came up to us and said, you cannot air that. And I was like, damn. So, yeah, that never aired. There's been a bunch of battles I've did that you know have never aired. But to be honest with you, I usually, I never hit a girl first. I hit her back. I'll knock her out, but I don't hit her first. I beat up on the guys. So I always hit the guys first. But with the girls, I don't hit them first. But if a girl hits me first, now it's, you know, it's...
58:43It's on. Yeah, it's on. Yeah.
58:47Shannon Sharpe:You've been at this for a while. So what's the next step? What's the evolution of Justina? So the evolution for me is definitely, you know, concentrating on this TV and film stuff. We just wrapped up season two of What's Cooking Good Looking. That's the TV show that me and Conceited do. Second season, super funny. We have Michael Blackson, Jess Hilarious. We had Lola Brooke, Cash Cobain, Mayno. So we just wrapped that up. I just finished writing another script for a movie that I want to go into production with this summer. Super funny. Really looking forward to shooting this. Touring with Wildin' Out.
59:28We're back on tour this year, so I'm definitely going to be on the road with everybody. And, you know, dropping music in between doing everything. I just dropped a record called Drip Drop. Super upbeat, fly, just feel good music. And just keep working. That's the thing about me. I stay with an attitude of gratitude and I never feel like, oh, I'm happy to be here. like, oh, I got a lot of bread now. I could chill. No, I just feel like I worked really, really hard to do. I worked really, really hard to be able to do what I love and to be here. So with everything I do, if I'm walking on the set for my 14th season, a while in now, I'm never here like, oh yeah, they know I'm that bitch.
1:00:09I could chill. No, I'm working hard like it's my first day. I'm hungry like it's my first day. So that's just the attitude I keep with everything I do. So I'm working on a lot of projects between TV, film and dropping music in between. And just waiting, really, to get to Shea Shea's couch. I'm one white bitch that don't talk, Shea Shea. I'm Italian, baby. Oh, okay. Yeah. Shea Shea's like, have a good night, y 'all. No, I'm just saying, like, you know, yeah, I'm a different type of white. So don't worry about that.
1:00:35Shannon Sharpe:All right, we're going to get y 'all. Let me ask you this. Because I don't want you to divulge too much because I want you to divulge it on the couch. Tell us something because we've seen you on Wild and Out. We've seen you in some of your other projects. What do you like off camera? What do you like away from the set? What do you like to do? Oh, what do I like to do away from the set? I'm very much into dogs. I work with a lot of rescues, rescue organizations. You know, I feel like, of course, I never want to see anyone or anything abused, but I feel like when it comes to animals, we're really their voice.
1:01:10So I work with a lot of dog organizations.
1:01:15Just in general, I like to help people. I do a lot of stuff. behind the scenes. I'm one of those people I don't post about like my good deeds and stuff. It's kind of like a pet peeve of mine. Like, you know, when people like do something good and post it. So I just work with a bunch of foundations and help people behind the scenes as far as dogs and humans go. And then in the meantime, in between time, you know, I like to study the things I'm trying to do. So, you know, the TV shows that I'm really into from Raising Canaan to Snowfall was my joint, Walking Dead. I like to watch and see different camera angles and different TV shows and movies, and then I kind of write that into my script.
1:01:56Like, oh, I want the overhead shot looking down on the bed. So I'm just a student of the game, whether it comes to music or whether it comes to film and TV. So that's what I do in between doing my other stuff is just pay attention, watch, and learn.
1:02:09Shannon Sharpe:Well, that's amazing. Justina, thank you for your time. We appreciate you stopping by Nightcap. We're definitely going to have you on Club Shea Shea. We don't, we haven't, I don't know, I'm trying to think, I don't think we've ever had a white woman on the show. Well, Shay Shay, we know what happens with you and white women, but I'm a different kind. Oh, there you go. Come on, Peter. I'm a different kind, Unc. I've been to the kick out for a long time now.

We don't have to do it today because we got to finish up, right? But when I see you, I'd rather do it in person so you can actually feel everything I'm singing. Yeah, I need you to feel it. So, Nala, we can do round two right now and then we do round three. No, no, no, no, no. He wants to study. He wants to study. My man wants to study. He wants to study. Yeah, I need to finish doing my homework. He wants to study. That's one thing about me. I don't need to do my homework.
1:03:11You feel me? I don't even have to reach you yet.
1:03:14Shannon Sharpe:You got that jersey. I don't have to do my homework. That's because I'm the teacher's pet. JV that bitch. Chad, that's my motto. I'm still trying to figure out how to fuck you by Evelyn Lozato. So you gotta be down. I'm gonna keep it real simple.

Do your homework for next time, and then don't worry about it. You got to come prepared. Listen. I don't like it. See, that's one thing about me. I'm not a bully. I don't like beating up on people. You know what? Hey, Unc, don't say nothing, Unc. Hold on. You know, listen, we could have had a live date. Now Justina Valentine I'm about to have it my way I usually give a woman flowers Candy and cards But this ain't gonna be Valentine's Day See now, that's why I told you to do your homework Because you don't want to end on a low note See, it was very high until you interrupted me I'm gonna let you have it though

Just weather the storm. You gonna be good? Yes, sir. Ocho, you better leave that girl alone. Ocho, you better leave that girl alone. Oh, she came ready. Her word play serious, boy. No, she came ready. She came ready. She came ready, right? She came ready, right? But listen, my wordplay serious, too. I got the gif-a-gab, too. I've been a yapper before yapping was actually considered yapping. I've been talking for a long time. Oh, Joe, we more of a Jonas.
1:05:48Shannon Sharpe:I mean, like that battle rapping, we more Jonas. We more tell a joke. Listen, let me tell you. I got a mentor, right? I got a mentor at battle rap, right? Twerking DNA. Them my mentors. that's why I can hang when I'm on that stage and I'm in the presence of those that do that. You feel me? So because of twerking DNA, I can get in there and I can do what I need to do. Now see, she told me to end on a low note because she know I was going to turn it up a notch. I was going to turn up the volume and she's like, hold on, let me say something real quick so it don't keep going. See, y 'all ain't noticed that.
1:06:21In battle rap, when somebody's rapping, you never interrupt. So she interrupted for a reason, so I can't really give her that seasoning. Okay.
