Pootie Tang
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,
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.

Get that Pootie!
That's a canapan,

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
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.
So, do you have any girlfriends
at school, Pootie?
Aw, Mama Di. There's a sine
tippi in a classi-ti.
She's a cole toni.
Don't you talk dirty
to your mama, boy.
Always got your head
in them girls.
You need to have
your head in the books.
Leave the ladies alone.
And that's the way it was.
Daddy Tang and his belt
was always there...
teaching Pootie the difference
between good and bad.
Now, when I say he was always there,
I mean he was always there.
Hey, Pootie, let's
steal some apples.
When Pootie was only six,
his mother died...
Leaving him
and his father alone.
- Pootie was very sad.
- I know, son.
But his father
was a comfort to him.
Don't slurp your soup
in here, boy.
Two weeks later,
another terrible tragedy.
His father was fatally injured
at the steel mill.
What the fu--
Gorilla! Gorilla!
It was incredible.
Only the third man to be mauled
by a gorilla at that steel mill.
On his deathbed, Daddy Tang
had Pootie make a solemn promise.
Pootie...
I know
I brought you up tough...
but that's
'cause I love you.
It's tough
out there, Pootie.
You got drugs,
crime, gorillas.
Yeah.
I ain't gonna be here much longer,
so I'm gonna give you this.
Pootie, that's my belt.
As long as you got
right on your side...
with just that belt.
I know
you love the ladies...
and Lord knows
the ladies love you.
Don't let the ladies
come between you and the belt.
Those were Daddy Tang's
last words.:
"Don't let the ladies
come between you and the belt."
But there was something
else about the ladies...
