“You got the juice now kid”
“Ain’t no half stepping”
🏆💯🙏🏾
☀️🍉🖤I love my father so much! He told me he only met his father once, too. That role is extremely important. Keep pushing, Kings!
You're daughters and sons appreciate you!
Same, only met my dad once and I tell all three of my girls this. I go extra hard for them because I didn’t have one and it was terrible.
My father passed away when I was 12 years old. Hardest time of my life, but it made me stronger and better in the long run.
This is a very deep and much needed conversation brothers. I can relate to both Omar and Math. I had no history of my Pops and grandfather so I went out in the streets trying to create something but I was lost.
Omar Epps is stamped bro a legend in the game he has so many classics under his belt i.e. Juice, Higher Learning, In Too Deep, Love & Basketball, First Time Felon and Conviction
Father died before 25th birthday. Knew him my whole 24 years. Good guy. Mom had custody of me and my sister but we stayed in contact a lot up until he died. Never hated him.
I’ve never seen Omar in this light before. Let me correct myself, I’ve never “seen” him ever. I know the characters he plays but I never knew “him”. I’m so glad he turned out well regardless of how he started out 🙌🏾
This was such powerful dialogue. Salute to Math for giving artists a platform where they can delve deep on topics and have meaningful conversation that touches and inspires people!
Met my pops once…. This was my life. Brilliantly spoken..
I loved my father to pieces and am grateful that he was in my life the years that he was alive. Fathers are soooo instrumental to the development of their kids...thats a topic that I hope more people in our community continue to speak about. That void is unexplainable. Ive seen what it can do to people. Sometimes though... its not always easy. They can be pushed away to the point of no return, as crazy as that sounds. I love conversations like these, this is real life.
This hit home in a real way. Happy the room let him get it off. Real segment. The show has value above money. Great work Math salute!
It's been a year since my dad passed away from a heart attack last time I saw my dad was in the summer of 1988 Atlanta Georgia coming from Oakland I was seventeen now I'm 49 birthday April 30th
Your father, brother Suleiman may Allah have mercy on his soul, was a man of few words, very rugged exterior but a soft heart... I had to show patience and kindness to get thru to him.. i miss him dearly and it's a shame that you missed out.... Omar
Omar had recent interviews on platforms currently bigger than this one. But this is different and provided an interview that is notches above any other interview he recently done. Salute!
Deep deep deep. This is why I never gave up on my pops. Living in the same house, but from age 13-26 we didn’t really have a relationship. Sure if I got caught doing something of course he’d chime in, but I didn’t respect it because any other time I didn’t feel no love. Now we’re both older and close.
I felt that brother, I'm the same with my dad. Grew up in the same house, yet our relationship was like a roommate rather than father and son. Hopefully we'll mend one day.💯💯
This is grown man conversation. Salute to all the Kings out there. Salute to George Robinson, my girls pops just passed.
Math Gonna win 🏆 just cause man - it’s a healthy constructive dialogue between black men - best content on UA-cam not even close
I can relate. I found out at 28 my father wasn’t my birth dad, and my sister was the one who told me. She just had a conversation with a cousin on my dads side that thought we all knew. Just blew me away. I was devastated as the man was on his way to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. Him and my mom had just divorced and even at 28 that hit me hard. Now to find out he wasn’t my birth dad… I was crushed. My sister begged me not to say anything, to my mom or my dad… and I’m 60 this July and still haven’t said anything. The older I get the harder it is to ask my mom.. the man who raised me passed away at 59, the same age I am now, my mom is 76.. I want to ask but I feel like I’d hurt her by asking, she’s hid it all these years. I just want to know, just because deep down inside everybody wants to know where they come from. Won’t hurt if I never ask, but my heart has a pain there that’s dull, but it’s their still. I’ve had a great life overall, can’t complain.. I just related to this video, I was all ears. I’m proud to be a black man, struggles and all.
You deserve to fill that void; your feelings matter most.
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 I guess I question that. I would have to build the nerve up to do that. It is going on 32 years now, it’s still fresh in my mind apparently. I think, maybe she’ll tell me it’s a lie, something like that. Maybe I’m making excuses not to ask..Obviously I want to know because I’m still thinking about it. We’ll see.
Hey but thanks for the comments. That means something…Maybe it will help nudge me along To get the nerve after all these years
There is nothing wrong with wanting to ask Mommy about your birth father...she may be more than willing to finally break her silence and talk to you about it. This is definitely not an easy subject to talk about but you have the right to know. Transparency, love and forgiveness is needed here family. Neither you or Mommy need to leave this world not having that conversation. One Love.
You gotta realize back then it wasn’t spoken about, also any man that comes and feels that void is your father. They probably understood he wasn’t a good look in your life. But don’t wait to ask those questions time is short and you have to be complete when it’s your time. Respect and blessing on to you.
Conversations like this is why I'm glad you have a platform
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FULL EPISODE!!! This might be the best episode yet!!
This is nice how he moved forward regarding his father…
*Ive seen fathers live in the same town / neighborhood and not be in their child lives* ! In this day and age there are lots of advocacy programs for men regarding all things “their children” . Learning this I now know and understand there’s no excuse for a parent to not have a relationship with their children.
There is so much truth in this clip. I definitely identify with the story Math told about his father… every word of it. This blessed me. As much as I love my father, it helped me see a glimpse of his mechanics. #LoveHeals Continued blessings 🙏🏾💞
I only met my father once too. And only because we stopped in Jacksonville on our way to Orlando
Yo brother Math, the different video clips your dropping is dope but you need to drop this meeting between the brothers ASAP!!!! The people need to see this. From the small video clips, I can tell that this was a beautiful gathering. A great deal of wisdom and gems on this one. Salute to you brother and all the other brothers rocking with you on that day. 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾.
Omar is an incredible man salute
I love the book from Fatherless to Fatherhood. It’s inspiring. I’m a fatherless daughter. I strongly suggest people to read and understand his story that impact my life. Great book 📕💯💯
Probably the most important ever conversation had here n at this time . everyone needs to hear salute to Math Hoffa n rest for creating this forum of keepin it honest. Good words from Omar yes!!!
Omar Epps father was the longtime custodian at Masjid At-Taqwa in Brooklyn. Very quiet and humble brother, that was all about the up keep and maintenence of the Masjid. When people would ask if Omar Epps was his son and he would not deny it.
May Allah forgive him of his sins and grant him paradise.
Thank you epps 🙏🏽 I needed to hear this
It’s a blessing and I’m glad I’m hear to witness this beautiful moment 💙♥️🙏🏽✊🏽💯
This Is Really Good Podding Right Here! Immense Value in this Conversation 💯
@Math
Thank you for these conversations. The honesty and vulnerability Is needed in our lives. Thank you brother.
I love that everyone can vent and they all listen. I wonder how to get on this show. I got so much to talk about.
Math much respect....u onto something special here brother. Found one of your callings for sure. Keep doing your thing
Great conversation kings continue to drop jewels
Omar Epps is the greatest guess wow he dropped so many jewels
I too met my dad only once in my life. I was 32, I’m now 60. I called him when I was 8 years old and asked him to send me some school supplies. He never did. He died last year. I didn’t even go to his funeral. What was the purpose?🤷🏾♂️
Love this convo Math 💯👑
Solid conversation and a topic worthy of highlighting. Great perspective for Bro. Epps!
Great conversation!
Awesome conversation. OE, powerful man.
This was a great episode.....Salute to Math
Very deep! Thank you, Omar and gentlemen. Salute fatherhood when its most relentless to provide mentally in the physical.
The best episode of your podcast I’ve seen thus far. Beautiful dialogue, brothers
This really hit me. The most impactful video on this channel.
Yo B this joynt Blessed me! Thanks big Brothas/Homies
So true! About setting the bar and standard for the ones after you. Break the cycle.
Omar's mother, Ms Bonnie Epps, was the principal of the elementary school I went to in Brooklyn NYC around '93-'95.. Met him the one time when she introduced him when he was filming for the movie Major League
Maferefun Egun!
Our Elders are with us more once they have transitioned.
Good Vibes All Around. I love it🙏🏽👆🏾🙇🏾♂️💪🏾
My mom has 9 kids out of all us I’m the only one had my father active in my life through everything the rest of my siblings didn’t have that
All my brothers been to prison gangbang in all I’m the only one finish school in take responsibility never been locked up or claim a gang
Black fathers are needed
Math, this interview goes in the top ten of your catalog. Very dope conversation 💯
Blessings Eddie! Love ❤️ you pops.
This needs more views!!!!
Such a dope space for men to have these types of conversations. So many 💎💎💎 and Light here. Salute to Math for creating this space for the culture! #tunedin #iykyk #realshit
Dopest interview I've seen in a Minute!💪🏿✊🏿
Amazing interview
Great show
I can listen to this group of enlightened and intelligent men speak all day!!!!!
They old heads but i really listen to these convos when im at work
This is an EXCELLENT segment! Its not often we get to see black men stripped down emotionally and vulnerable...this was honest,raw n relatable for men n women alike!
Well spoken brother I salute yall.
Great show man especially the Freddie Foxx history. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Math be in the crib really doing math 🧮 I seen this clip up but didn't want to click until I had a seat and really paid attention. This what o said about his pops was a very great breakdown about fathers and father hood. Shout out to math again for knowing how not to give it all away and do it in clips. Each clip has a jewl you only can take in small dosages. It's definitely the Brooklyn way one love.
This hit hard
Best episode math, if not the best...one if the best
Therapy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Real talk, I felt where everything and everyone was going with this fatherhood topic. My pops passed away really young, for myself could not remember him because I was an infant when my mom and pops divorced. As a young man I desperately wanted to know more about my father. My mother would frequently tell me just how much I resembled my father. I have A older sister and brother, in which I located online. I ask them questions about my father, to learn more about him.Before I met them online, felt like I was always fantasizing what things would have been like knowing him.As a young Black man I felt a large void in my life, spiritually and emotionally I was back wreck. Many of our Black fathers aren't present in the lives of our sons and sisters. Being present for as many precious moments makes a large difference in the upbringing of our lives. We need to do better than financially provide for our children. Tech about Love, the Bible,birds and the bees and education.
Man this hit hard
I love OE. Math you’re doing a great job.
Deep MATH...The Voice
Math, you already did that (doing better than your father) because you are there for your kids, that part is already head n shoulders above.
I never understood how a person can walk away from their child unless they are drug addicted
Some times it's the mothers of the children and not the fathers. I didn't understand until I had my own child. The mother of your child and your baby's mama are two different things. Unfortunately for me I have a baby mama
Stop the excuses. A baby mom can’t stop you from seeing your child. You can get visitation through the court system. There are so many legal protections for non custodial parents. The truth of the matter that no one wants to say out loud is a lot of non custodial parents just don’t feel like it. Which is fine to admit but don’t be adding all this salt and pepper to that word soup you wrote.
Narrated Anas:
Bilal was ordered to repeat the wording of the Adhan for prayers twice, and to pronounce the wording of the Iqama once except "Qad-qamat-is-salat".
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 605. In-book reference: Book 10, Hadith 3. English reference: Vol. 1, Book 11, Hadith 579.
Dope stuff fellaz. I lived in Atlanta for a year and everybody thought I was Omar Epps everywhere I went...lol. I started just saying maybe I just have a famous face. Big ups to the whole cast. Peace from Greensboro North Carolina.
This truth beyond facts and alot of men should be able to reflect to all being said on all levels from son to dad period
This broke me! This helped me to really start the healing! This was an important conversation. It's funny in life when you get sat down and your health is not what you wanted to be that you realize you had it good. Because you have that open space in your heart a void more or less that you have not come to terms with and you didn't get the send or the goodbye that you needed you can wallow in sorrow and pain for years! When you face your own mortality there is an opening in your heart and your mind that you can fill with love and you can begin to heal! The way I grew up my brothers/ homeboys we were like fathers to each other! This may seem very random but Will Smith and that slap woke me up!¡! It woke me up to the reality that I've lived both of their lives but I also remember living like an Immortal! Never worry about physical death that's going to happen, your spirit / soul is eternal get back to your foundation! I hope that this message helps somebody! I know it helped me.. now it's time to stand strong! Peace! Thank you math, Omar, and my man Big Daddy Kane always been a favorite of mine it's fitting that he would be present at a revival! Peace to the fearless fantastic foursome!
Nah Math got one with this!! The gems that are being dropped are so valuable!! S/o to Omar Epps!
Powerful...just met my biological mother after 41 years of living...smelt him
I suggest this wholeheartedly that all men and women listen to this conversation with the intent to take something from this conversation! It’s a lot here to pick from.
Then go read CRY LIKE A MAN by Jason Wilson. I will pick up Omar Epps’s book asap
Great interview growing up Big Daddy was my Husband Baby😂😂
At the age of 15 /16 He is a legend ❤️❤️🙌🏾Much Respect.

Real life tears on this one and my pops raised me😭
Omar Epps is the truth
💯💯fr...
I’m the spitting image of there whole conversation
✊🏿👑Hoffa.
AYO!!! This 1 Checking a lot of Boxes with the Young Black Man that Grew Up
Still havnt met my pops. Only seen a picture of him in a yearbook when I was like 11 & recently seen him on FB. Never blamed him & never been mad about it, never showed hate towards my momma for it either. Still havnt reached out to him. Thinking about meeting him at least once tho, don't really need to just feels like it's something that needs to be done.
I hope you get to do that and get some time of closure from it brotha 🙌🏽
Ask the questions while you can.......
If he chose not to be in your life dont bother meetin him. Dead beats get no respect
You should definitely meet him because if you don’t you will have what ifs. I grew up with my dad and he’s passed and now that I’m a man it’s so much I wanna ask him but can’t.
@@Dolobih813 yes but some people don’t got it in them bro. Lots of people are broken. And get be fixed
GREATNESS!
God bless Omar!
MATH TIMEPIECE THO!!!!!!
