We have with us today a man who

is so much a part of the culture...

that he scarcely needs

an introduction.

Pootie Tang.

Good to have you here with us.

Sepatown.

You've had incredible success...

and you've had it

in a variety of fields--

music, films,

martial arts, pottery.

How do you do it?

Well, Bob, I'm a pone toni.

- Got my dillies on a peppatain.

- I hear that.

Now, Pootie, a lot of young artists

say that you are their inspiration.

Well, I can't say

the nay-no, my brother.

Wa-da-tah.

You got a new movie

coming out, right?

Yeah. Yes, it's called

Sine Your Pitty on the Runny Kine.

- And who's in it besides yourself?

- Oh, well, there's Trucky...

Bad Bitty, Dirty Dee...

Lacey, J B...

Biggie Shorty

and Robert Vaughn.

- You have a clip to show us?

- Yeah, baby.

All right, let's take

a look then at this clip...

from Pootie Tang's new movie,

Sine Your Pitty on the Runny Kine.

It was the year 2001.

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

The big city was thriving,

but the inner city was dying.

Who was killing it?

This man. Dick Lecter.

The head

of corporate America.

But the people had hope because

they knew that there was one man...

who could fight the power.

One man who could stop

the madness.

One man who could beat

Dick Lecter like the LAPD.

And that man--

that man was Pootie Tang.

See that guy? That's Bad Bitty.

The baddest drug dealer

in town.

Hey, Bad Bitty,

here comes Dirty Dee.

Dirty bastard!

That's Dirty Dee,

the dirtiest dude around.

He handles all

of corporate America's dirty work.

Next to Dirty Dee,

that's Froggy, the Enforcer.

Yo, Bad Bitty!

How you be?

I'm bad, Dirty Dee.

You're still dirty, I can see.

Let's deal, baby.

- You got yours?

- Froggy.

- It's dirty money.

- You got yours?

Right!

But how do I know

if they any good?

Let's test'em out.

Hey, kid! Come over here!

That's kid,

the dumbest kidin town.

- What you want, mister?

- Here. Have some of this.

- Is it candy?

- Told you.

Yeah. It's the kind of candy

that you smoke out of a pipe.

Pipe candy.

Capachow.

Yea! Pootie Tang.

daddy lamatai tebby chai.

That's a canapan,

all the way down.

You mother--

Shut up, b*tch!

Okay, I quit.

Pootie Tang was born in a small town

outside of Gary, lndiana.

And that town

was called Chicago.

As he grew...

everyone noticed something different

about the way Pootie would talk.

It baffled everyone--

doctors, scientists.

Let me break it down

to you like this.

Pootie Tang is, was

and will always be...

too cool for words.

Pootie Tang was

the most popular kidin town.

We didn't always know

what he was saying...

but we always knew

what he meant.

Like I knew I was his best friend.

That's me. Trust me.

Yeah, he had

a special effect on people...

especially on the ladies.

Not girls. Grown-ass women.

- Hiya, Pootie Tang.

- I'm a tine cappy, my damie.

- All right, Pootie Tang.

- But for some of the ladies...

Pootie was just

too hot to handle.

Damn you, Pootie Tang!

I can't take no more of this!

Who do you think you are,

treatin' me this way?

I've had it with you! You hear me

talkin' to you with your nappy head!

This is it!

I'm finished with you!

Get out of my life,

Pootie Tang!

You think I'm jokin'?

Take your sh*t!

Take your sh*t and get out,

Pootie Tang! I'm sick of you!

Pootie-- Pootie, don't go.

Pootie Tang

was an only child.

His father, Daddy Tang,

worked hard to raise Pootie right.

He had this belt.

He was so fast with that belt...

that before Pootie could do wrong,

Daddy Tang would set him right.

Don't you grab them peas

without askin' your mama, boy.

May I dane on the cherries,

Mama Di?

Yes, you may, Pootie Tang.

That's better.

You got to have respect

to get respect, Pootie Tang.
