00:10Matt Damon has launched a new career, a rapper.
00:14I saw him on TV doing a little bit of rapping, and I was like, what are we doing here?
00:19His alias is The Nomad, which is Damon spelt backwards.
00:23Okay.
00:24It's actually all part of a campaign by his charity, Water.org.
00:30Which aims to help get water to people around the world who need it.
00:34And rapping, he thought, was going to be the...
00:37He thought rapping could get him some attention.
00:39You want to hear a little bit?
00:40Yeah.
00:41Okay, this is Matt Damon rapping as The Nomad.
00:44It's a constant struggle.
00:46Big, big trouble.
00:48Let's fix it on the double.
00:49Two billion people don't have access to clean water.
00:52Oh, that's terrible stuff.
00:53That sounds horrible, right?
00:54It's like if I rapped.
00:55Oh, my God.
00:56So I have this Get Flu initiative.
00:57I think you're better.
00:57Get Flu initiative.
00:58Everybody, by just going about their everyday life, if they're interacting with The Nomad.
01:03Now, or do we do them after?
01:04Here we go.
01:05Buy yourself a bevy, a shirt, a song.
01:08Five bucks can change the world.
01:10You can't go wrong.
01:13Mayo, think you could take him down in a rap battle?
01:15Oh, my God.
01:15I don't know.
01:16Sounds just like Mayo on a Friday night.
01:18No.
01:18Two o'clock in the morning.
01:19You had to be better than that.
01:20Pops is no way.
01:22You had to be better than that, your days.
01:23There's Mayo on the streets of Ann Arbor.
01:26Oh, no.
01:26You're way better than that.
01:29And then I was going to say something about Pearl Harbor.
01:34That's one of your lines, isn't it?
01:35Nah, I just made it up.
01:36Oh, very cool.
01:37Dropping bombs, you know.
01:38That's it.
01:39Dropping them bombs.
01:40Like the...
01:42I'm Pearl Harbor.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Not bad.
01:45Not bad.
01:47I don't rap anymore.
01:48It's been a long time.
01:49You giving it up?
01:50Yeah.
01:51You ever just jot something down real quick?
01:55You don't ever get the itch?
01:57Like a rhyme scheme?
02:00Sometimes if I'm alone.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Driving.
02:04Spitting hot fire.
02:05Yeah.
02:06When you're driving in the Subaru, that's what you're doing.
02:08With the two car seats.
02:11It's pretty cool.
02:12Spitting hot fire.
02:12No case, just me.
02:14Put the beats on.
02:15I'll do it very quietly.
02:16Yeah.
02:16Because I don't want anybody to see me.
02:22Subaru rhymes.
02:24Yeah.
02:24Yeah.
02:25I would love to hear the Subaru rhymes mixtape.
02:29I need that mixtape.
02:31Nobody will ever hear it.
02:32I got two kids that are driving me crazy.
02:36Dad rap?
02:37Dad rap.
02:37People could relate to dad rap.
02:38Do you sure they could.
02:39You know...
02:40That's probably existed.
02:40It's probably already out there.
02:42Oh, you're right.
02:43I'm not going to make it anyway.
02:45No.
02:47But I'd love to hear the fire that you are spitting.
02:49There is no fire, man.
02:51It is super tepid.
02:52Dude, here's the thing.
02:53You hung out with black guys, right?
02:56Sure.
02:56That were rapping.
02:57Yeah.
02:58They would not allow a little white guy who sucked to, like, take a turn.
03:04Oh, they told me to stop before.
03:07Yo, yo, yo.
03:08That's enough.
03:08Stop, stop, stop.
03:09That's enough.
03:10No.
03:11Stop.
03:12I didn't know they told you to stop.
03:15Oh, no.
03:15And then, like, dude, I can't hear it again, okay?
03:19It's not my style.
03:21I got one buddy who was like, I don't like it.
03:23Stop rapping to me.
03:25He's like, I don't like it at all.
03:28Oh, my God.
03:29So they have told you.
03:30You're my black friend.
03:30You got to listen.
03:31Oh, wow.
03:32He's like, I don't.
03:34So they have told you to stop.
03:35Oh, I thought all your black buddies were, like, behind you.
03:38Some of them.
03:39Some.
03:39Okay.
03:39All right.
03:40But I choked once.
03:41I had my opportunity, and I choked.
03:42Aw.
03:44I went to the guy's house.
03:46Mom's spaghetti?
03:46He played all these beats, but I was so baked.
03:50While I was waiting for him, I was doing dab after dab after dab.
03:53Oh, no.
03:54And he was like, you don't like this beat?
03:55I'm like, all right, let's try a different beat, you know?
04:00Oh, no.
04:00And you can see them all being like, come on, man.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Come on.
04:04Don't let us down.
04:05And I didn't.
04:06Oh, no.
04:07You literally choked.
04:09The day the mayo died.
04:10That was it.
04:11The day the mayo died.
04:12That was it.
04:13It spoiled.
04:14Yeah, you're never coming back, baby.
04:16I'm for real.
04:16I'm sorry about this, but number one, you're terrible.
04:22We never want to hear it again, but you also crack under pressure.
04:27He was in the scene.
04:29Like, in the scene.
04:30Oh.
04:31Doing concerts around.
04:32Oh, my God.
04:33And you were hanging with him?
04:35Yeah, it was like a real opportunity.
04:36Oh, that's horrible.
04:37Oh, no.
04:39You could have been.
04:40Why'd you bring this white fellow?
04:42It's like eight mile gone wrong.
04:44Yeah.
04:44It's like the worst of eight mile.
04:46It's a different kind of eight mile story.
04:47It's like eight mile is done in the first 20 minutes.
04:52He's like, yeah, here we go.
04:53Here we go.
04:55Yeah.
04:55No, man.
04:56I can't.
04:56I can't.
04:57Okay.
04:58Don't sweat it.
05:00We're going to play the next beat for you.
05:02Here you go.
05:05Okay.
05:06Hold on a second.
05:14I don't know.
05:15I'm not feeling that I've done about 25 dabs.
05:19The day the mayo died.
05:21Oh, God.
05:22That's one of the saddest tales.
05:25That is not how.
05:26In my brain, he just walked away.
05:28Like it could have been something amazing.
05:31It was his decision to get out of the game.
05:32And he was like, I can't do it, guys.
05:34I got to change my life.
05:35He was shamed out of the game.
05:36I got very scared.
05:39And I was like, I can never get back out there.
05:43Jason Watson in nine mile.
05:45Wait a second, though.
05:46But now the redemption.
05:48Now the redemption.
05:49He can't come back.
05:50There is no redemption.
05:51I don't have that in me.
05:52I don't have the courage or the strength.
05:54I just gave up.
05:56I'll regret it forever.
05:57Oh, no.
05:58As a man, I was like, what do I have?
06:00I don't even have anything to rap about.
06:02The suburbs.
06:03You would have been dripping in gold, surrounded by bitches right now.
06:07My life could be so different.
06:08I'd be dead.
06:09That's the truth.
06:10Wow.
06:10Yeah, there's that.
06:11I'd be dead.
06:11Yeah, yeah.
06:12There's the other guy from here.
06:15He's like the king of Farmington or whatever.
06:17That sounded like that guy sometimes.
06:19King of Farmington.
06:20Oh, my God.
06:20That guy's amazing.
06:22Yeah.
06:22He's like the king of Farmington.
06:25He's like the king of Farmington.
06:25He's like the king of Farmington.
06:26He's like the king of Farmington.
06:26He's like the king of Farmington.
06:26He's like the king of Farmington.
06:26He's like the king of Farmington.
06:27He's like the king of Farmington.
06:27He's like the king of Farmington.
06:27He's like the king of Farmington.
