00:00 Yeah. You learn the tone first. So if it's... And then certain people have certain things
00:12 like Jay-Z. This is weird. Jay-Z and my Sammy Davis Jr. and my Kermit the Frog are the same
00:18 thing.
00:19 Okay.
00:20 Because Jay-Z is...
00:21 Jessie was asking to do Kermit. She was asking...
00:22 So Kermit is like, "Kermit the Frog, Sesame Street, he was here with the three little
00:27 pigs. But if I drop the octave, it's crazy. So I'm gonna start off in Mosse Projects.
00:34 We got a beat." And then it's Sammy Davis Jr. "Because sometimes when..." So that's the
00:40 same thing and there's a certain thing that I do with my throat. And then when it comes

01:18 demeanor. And then if you look at Mike Tyson, a lot of people do Mike Tyson like this. "My
01:22 God, I can't wait." But Mike's actual voice, when you call him and talk to him on the phone,
01:28 is what I'm going to do when we do his movie. I say, "Mike, how you doing?" "All praise
01:33 to Allah, my brother. I'm happy. How are you?" "I'm good, man. What's up?" "I'm just happy.
01:40 I don't have all the crazy people around me anymore. I don't have the money, all that
01:43 crazy. I don't have any vultures around me. So nobody's trying to take anything away from
