00:00I'm with Bill Ward at the 2025 BET Awards. We have the icon, Mr. Mario, standing here.
00:05I cannot believe it. How are you feeling tonight, sir?
00:07I feel great. Thank you.
00:08So with the 106 in part tribute being tonight, what are you most excited for or who do you hope to see?
00:14A 106 in part tribute, man.
00:17Listen, I'm always excited to see Wayne, man. He always got bars that we never heard before in hip-hop.
00:21He just put an album out. Tiana Taylor is performing tonight.
00:24You know, congratulations to BET on this, listen, 50, what, 45th anniversary, 25th show.
00:32So that means y'all started the shows right around the time I came out as an artist.
00:36For me, this is like a homecoming. Do you know what I mean?
00:40And I just got off a tour in the UK, so it feels good to be amongst my peers.
00:44Everybody looks fly and just focused and like they're, you know, leveling up in life.
00:48And I love to see that, even with all the craziness going on.
00:51We're keeping the frequency in the right place.
00:52Yeah, absolutely.
00:53Absolutely. And being that we are nominating or honoring Snoop Dogg this evening, what's your favorite Snoop song?
01:00Oh, man, see, I like all of the hits.
01:02Okay.
01:02But one of the songs I put on, like today, I was playing Stacey Adams when I was getting ready.
01:06Oh, okay. I feel it. I see it.
01:08He stayed, like Stacey, yeah.
01:11Like Snoop, just, you know, that's up, man.
01:13He got all the sauce in his music, so.
01:15Yeah, for sure.
01:17Always looking up with you, Mario.
01:18We hope you have a fantastic time with the show tonight.
01:20Appreciate you, man.
01:21Take it easy, man.
01:22Yes.
