00:00Before we get into the movie, though, we have to talk about music.

00:03So, obviously, you're an R&B legend, and another one is being honored tonight, Usher.

00:08So, what does that mean to the culture?

00:10It means everything.

00:12First of all, you know, there's been a few moments where you see somebody being honored

00:19or something significant happening for them, and then you can find yourself going,

00:24oh, that's great.

00:25But then when you see moments like this happen, it feels like it's long overdue.

00:30So, 30 years Usher's been at it.

00:34He's put it all on the line.

00:35He's kept us all entertained.

00:38He's my brother.

00:38I love him.

00:39I'm the biggest Usher fan, period.

00:42He's made a difference in my world.

00:44When I first got on after the Coke commercial, you know, he let me play opposite him in his

00:49My Way video, and we shot that here, downtown L.A.

00:53So, I couldn't be more proud of all that he is, all that he continues to do.

00:59And B, and how he has figured out a way to reinvent himself over all these years.

01:04And what's your favorite song by him?

01:06I got too many.

01:08You know, listen, I'm an A-side and a B-side Usher.

01:13You know what I'm saying?

01:13And so, man, My Way, what y'all know about a Super Mario?

01:23Come on, it's too many.

01:25It's too many.

01:26Too many.

01:27Confessions.

01:28Yes.

01:28Oh, God.

01:29Too many.

01:30So, tell me about you guys' upcoming movie and the relationship that you guys curated

01:37to be able to bring that forth on screen.

01:39Well, there's a film which everyone is saying this is the most important film that's historically

01:48based out of the West Coast.

01:50This is a historical moment that took place on the West.

01:54Just like N.W.A. and Compton, straight out of Compton, 1992, April 29th, when the Rodney

02:02King verdict came out and they let all those officers, white officers, off for damn near

02:08killing that man.

02:09I believe he may have died and came back to life.

02:12They was determined to snatch the soul out of that black man.

02:15And we did a movie called 1992 based on a heist that took place while the whole city

02:23was distracted from looting and rioting and burning down.

02:27And for me, it's a full circle moment because I was living in Watts.

02:31I was in the looting and rioting.

02:32And we got Snoop Dogg on board as a producer.

02:36And this is Chris who played my son in the 1992 movie.

02:40And it's got Ray Liotta, rest in peace, Scott Eastwood, directed by Ariel Broman.

02:47And it's dropping August 30th, Friday.

02:49And we're excited.

02:50Lionsgate is going all out for us.

02:53Absolutely.

02:53What have you learned working along the line with you?

02:56I learned to stay in it, you know.

02:59It's easy to get distracted.

03:01It's easy to think that things should happen faster than they are happening.

03:05And I learned to just be patient and have fun with the process and play a little, you know.

03:11Stretch yourself, work on your craft, stay on your grind.

03:14And it will all happen the way it's supposed to.

03:16And Taraji is hosting tonight.

03:18And you worked with her, of course, on Baby Boy.

03:21And I know you have to have seen the movie as well.

03:23So what does that mean to see a fellow actress, a creative, step into this space of hosting?

03:29I'll take this one first.

03:31Baby Boy is a classic.

03:33Let me tell you something.

03:33It's a classic.

03:35And it influenced the culture through and through.

03:38Again, they still play this movie about 120 times a day on BET.

03:43And so if you haven't seen Baby Boy, you missing out.

03:47Yeah.

03:49I think we got one in Baby Boy.

03:53But here's some perspective.

03:57Rest in peace to John Singleton who put me and Taraji on.

04:00John Singleton is responsible for so many significant black writers, directors, producers, actors, hair, makeup, wardrobe.

04:12Ruth Carter has won two Oscars.

04:14She was our stylist for Baby Boy.

04:16She was our stylist for Four Brothers.

04:19Also directed by John Singleton.

04:21Taraji, nothing about her career surprises me.

04:26She's always been a star since the moment we met and auditioned together.

04:29And just beyond blessed to just witness her grace, her magic, her being so fierce.

04:38I mean, this woman came from D.C. with $13 and her son.

04:43And her father of her child had just got killed.

04:47So for her to be here, she is literally the walking, breathing manifestation of determination

04:54and being overly ambitious and determined to win.

05:00So all of it makes me happy.

05:04Very honored to be here.

05:05Very happy to call her my sister.

05:071992 is coming.

05:09And rumor has it.

05:10Hollywood Reporter.

05:11Rumor has it.

05:14The trailer's about to drop.

05:16I can't tell y'all when.

05:18But it's like it feels very, very...

05:24Ray Liotta, we love you.

05:25Rest in peace.

05:26Love you, Ray.

05:26Thank you so much for your time.

05:27Nice to meet you, Ray.
