Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome comedian, rapper, singer, actor, internet expert and all-around amazing personality Lil Duval to the Upper West Side! Duval talks growing up in hardscrabble Jacksonville, Florida, driving at age 13, selling crack around town, dancing in high school talent shows, and knowing that he'd be an entertainer outside the city lines. We discuss his move to Atlanta where at 20 years old, he pretended to be a high school student, how he started doing standup around town, began his own comedy night on Tuesdays, could pick off hecklers in an audience, gained a loyal audience right away, especially with celebrities, made cameos in music videos, and took claim to the city. We get into his brief move to Los Angeles, how he didn't capitalize on catchphrases he had, what co-signs meant the most, meeting Charlamagne Tha God via MySpace, the benefits of taking your time, the best colleges he would play around the country, where his song ideas come from, how everyone tried to box him into a certain career, why he signed a record deal with EMPIRE, and how many people come up to him now with the success of his single, Smile (Living My Best Life), thinking he's finally made it. All that, plus what the Jaguars meant when they moved to Jacksonville, how wrong CelebrityNetWorth.com is, what time of the day he'll get phone calls from Snoop Dogg, what he turned his backyard into, what T.I.'s wedding was like, why he hates the Dallas Cowboys and so much more!

We don't know if we have an apartment waiting for us when we get back home. That's actually very true. Because our building got bought for a lot of money and we think that they don't want to have us around anymore to pay what we pay for rent. We think they want to get like, I don't know, more classy residents in the building. You can't get classier than us, but they do want somebody who will pay more rent. Yeah. So if you guys want to house us in your apartment, please let us know. Should we do a GoFundMe for,
