00:00Please welcome, Mike Epps.
00:05All right, come on, y'all, Ice Cube, y'all, come on, y'all.
00:13Ice Cube, the Don Mega.
00:18Now, I'm gonna tell y'all, man, now look,
00:21Ice Cube has been the most intricate part in my life beside my daddy, okay?
00:29Now, I met Ice Cube, and I never thought that I would meet Ice Cube.
00:35I listened to his music as a teenager, and I mean,
00:40I'm still starstruck to this dude, that's crazy.
00:44I done did all these movies with him.
00:46And I'm still amazed of Ice Cube's talent.
00:51Ice Cube has helped me in so many different ways, I can't even begin to tell you.
00:56Advice, when I tell you a brother that has given me advice more than any kind of money
01:06or monetary things that could be given, man,
01:09I've got some of the best advice from Ice Cube when it comes to this business,
01:14when it came to family, when it comes to anything.
01:18You know, I've always called Ice Cube, and I've always admired your opinion, man.
01:24I've always admired the way you handled your family, how you was a family man.
01:32I learned a lot of stuff from you, man, you know, that I didn't get a chance to learn.
01:37So Ice Cube, I just want to tell you, thank you, man, for giving me an opportunity,
01:43seeing something in me, in the beginning of my life, at a time in my life where I was 20 years old.
01:51No, I was older than that.
01:55I wish I was 20 then.
01:56But I was 28 years old at the time, and you gave me an opportunity to,
02:02you gave me a career, you gave me a life, man, you gave me an opportunity to send my kids to college.
02:11You gave me an opportunity, and I always tell people, man,
02:15it's all, don't never forget where you started and who you started with and who started you.
02:21Because that says everything for who you are and for where you're trying to go and what you're trying to do.
02:28So I'm not going to hold you up Ice Cube, but I want to tell you, thank you, brothers.
02:32For everything you ever done for me, man.
02:35Bless you and your family, and please put me in another movie, man.
