Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Page #2

---

ever got. It's a DX7. This is a classic.

Oh, Conner's show? No, no. In

Conner's show I just use this.

It's a iPod, 60 gigs, so, you

know, I can fit the entire show

and, uh, plus, like, a bunch

of dope audio books, you know.

AUDIO BOOK NARRATOR: It was

year three at Hogwarts,

and Harry was worried it

would never get any easier.

Harry P.

You know, a lot of

people ask me that.

They say, like,

"ls it weird for you

"to be playing

the background now

cause, you know, you used

to be in Style Boyz?"

And I always say,

"No, man, not at all!"

Because I... I could never do

what Conner does, you know?

(PEOPLE CHEERING) CONNER:

Look, I'm a perfectionist-

My first album sold four million

copies, so this one has to sell more.

And that's why

I take this so seriously,

you know, and I live

for this music.

And... (SIGHS)

It can't go away.

That's why I personally wrote

every song on this record,

and I used over 100 producers

for just 17 tracks,

to guarantee

that they're all hits.

I made a lot of the beats

on the first record,

but on this one Conner said he

really wanted to branch out.

It's good for him

to grow, you know.

And, also, I played him a bunch of

my beats, and he was like, "No."

What's up, y'all?

Got a hot new single coming.

It addresses some social issues

that I think are being ignored,

so keep your eyes

peeled for that.

We're gonna be surprise-releasing

it next Thursday at noon...

Uh...

And that's it.

(SINGING)

Discrimination

It ain't right

I'm not gay But if I was,

I would want equal rights

I'm not gay But if I were,

I would marry who I like

It's not fair I'm not gay

That the government has a say

In who can love who, not gay

Or to which god you

can pray I'm not gay

It gets me so angry On behalf

of them, I feel passionate

Not gay So I pray for

them, and I say for them

We need to make a change Not gay

I see it clear as day This

area is not gray, titties

We need equality

And for all to see

That this is the new way Not gay

Just seems, not gay

Wrong, not gay

That no one seems to care Sports

We can't continue to pretend

This not gay madness

has to end Not gay

I was born this way...

Straight...

You were born your way...

Gay...

Gay or straight, Straight or gay

It's all okay...

Sure...

It's time to make a change...

Yes...

Time to stop the hate...

Uh...

'Cause who you are is beautiful...

Not gay...

Lying in bed next to 10

beautiful girls All straight

And while I made

love to every one of them

I was thinking about

the world Hot wings

True love trumps all Predator

Flying kicks, not gay

Big watch, not gay

Missionary, one love Gym

socks, nunchuck, not gay

Lighter fluid,

HD, ninja, world peace

Four-wheel drive,

gay marriage, love beave

Free love, golf club, two guys,

not gay, rainbow, muff dive

Harvey Milk, Sean Penn, not gay

Drum solo, courtside

seats, safe sex

One-armed pushups

Lynyrd Skynyrd

I'm not gay I'm not gay

I'm not, not, not gay

I'm not gay

I was born this way...

I'm straight...

You were born your way...

You're gay...

Gay or straight, Straight or gay

It's all okay... And now it

time for sexual freedom for all

Time to make a change...

Sexual freedom for all...

Time to stop the hate...

Sexual freedom for all...

'Cause who you are is beautiful

Sexual freedom for all, not gay

He's writing a song

for gay marriage.

You know, like it's not allowed.

It's allowed now.

Usually, I don't like to read

reviews, but I'm just excited.

Like, I can't... I can't wait. I

wanna know how people feel about it,

and I wanna know how much they

love it, so, uh, here we go.

Um...

Well, it's Pitchfork-It's...

They gave it a negative review.

No, like it's a negative four out of 10.

Positive 1 O, I assume.

Pitchfork can be kind of

pretentious, though, sou.

(EXCLAIMS) What?

You ain't gonna knock my hustle.

Let's look at another one. Let's

pull it up. Rolling Stone-

Okay, um... Out of

four possible stars,

Rolling Stone has

given it the sh*t emoji.

I can only assume

it's a mess-up, you know.

They must have had

a problem with their, um...

No, this seems like the right score

for how they're saying this.

You know what?

Let just do a search.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

"CONNquest review."

Oh, here we go.

Here we go.

"CONNquest a triumph."

That's a good one. Let me read it.

This is on The Onion-

So, you know, mixed.

Let's call it mixed reviews.

BIG BOY:
So first you're in a group-

You introduce us to the Style Boyz,

and Donkey Roll, of course, we play

the hell out of that. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah. That's a hit for us, man.

And then, Conner, you get

that breakout moment.

You get a phone call

from Claudia Cantrell.

The one and only.

And she asks you

for a verse, man,

on her song Turn Up the Beef.

(SINGING)

Turn up the Beef

Throw your body on the flame

But you take that moment,

and instead of just,

like, kicking

a regular verse... You

know what I'm saying?

You did something

a little different.

The "catchphrase" verse,

as it's now known. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah, yeah.

Hello.

I had been working on a catchphrase...

Mmm-hmm.

But what had happened was I

just thought of so many dope ones

that I was like, "What if I

put them all into the verse?"

(SINGING) Turn up the beef

CONNER:
It's Conner, b*tch

(IN SING-SONG VOICE)

Yeah, he said so many words

I didn't know.

That was

a game-changing moment.

Usually one

catchphrase in a hit.

He dropped, like,

30 on us in one night.

Sh*t was crazy.

(IN SING-SONG VOICE)

Conner4Real

Immediately, I said, "Man, this guy

right here, he's gonna make it big!"

Because when you have

a catchphrase,

the world is catched

by your phrase.

BIG BOY:
You fast forward.

Things start to happen, man.

You get the Pop Music

Award, and now,

here come those

offers of a solo contract.

CONNER:
Yeah. How'd the other

Style Boyz feel about that?

You know, they took it fine.

Mmm-hmm.

Owen is my DJ and my best friend.

That's good, man.

And Lawrence lives

on a farm now, so...

Hold on. Lawrence

Dunn is a farmer?

My name is Lawrence Dunn.

I used to be in the Style Boyz.

Now I'm a farmer.

Being out here in nature,

away from all the people and

the trappings of modern life,

it's so peaceful. There

nothing like it. Ohm!

I've never been happier.

(EAGLE SCREECHES)

Uh... So, yeah, this is,

uh, all my woodwork.

It's kind of my passion,

uh, my hobby.

This is a nice piece.

It's called

Government in Crisis

for obvious reasons.

This one's a mask.

It's still me.

It's a hat.

You know, we were going places as a band.

We had plans as a band.

Style Boyz, that's three guys, not two.

It doesn't work with two.

You know, it's like a tricycle.

You take away one of the

wheels, what have you got?

Nothing. A bicycle.

Don't use that.

Look, we had a good run, you know.

We had a few hits.

But it had run its course,

you know.

It was time

for us to all move on.

Get over it.
