DID YOU KIND OF GO LIKE, "OH, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? >> OKAY.
I SAW BILLIE EILISH, I SAW POST MALONE, I SAW BEYONCE SITTING BY ME.
AND I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE. OKAY, COOL
THE NOMINATION IS A WIN. AND THEN TREVOR NOAH GOES, "AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO 'I CAN'T
BREATHE' BY H.E.R. AND I WAS FREAKING OUT I WAS LIKE, "WHAT?
I WAS LIKE, "NO WAY. IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO GET UP OUT OF MY SEAT
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I WAS LIKE, "TAKE THAT, BEYONCE!
NO, I'M JUST KIDDING [ LAUGHTER ] [ CYMBAL CRASH ]
>> Jimmy: THE MORNING AFTER YOU GOT YOUR GRAMMYS, YOU GOT NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR FOR YOUR
SONG, "FIGHT FOR YOU." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE HOW DID -- I MEAN, THIS IS ONE
STEP CLOSER TO THE EGOT. COME ON. HOW DOES IT FEEL
>> I KNOW. >> Jimmy: I MEAN IT'S ALMOST LIKE, SO MUCH --
>> IT'S SO CRAZY >> Jimmy: EXCITEMENT AND IT'S WELL EARNED
YOU'RE AWESOME >> THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU.
IT FELT CRAZY. I WOKE UP TO A BUNCH OF CONGRATULATIONS TEXTS AND I WAS
FREAKING OUT IT WAS JUST LIKE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.
I JUST FELT SO BLESSED I DON'T KNOW IT'S A HISTORICAL MOMENT
AND FOR ME TO BE SO YOUNG, I DO FEEL CLOSER TO AN EGOT SO HOPEFULLY I'M SPEAKING THAT
INTO EXISTENCE >> Jimmy: HOW DID THE OPPORTUNITY COME TO YOU FOR
"FIGHT FOR YOU?" >> YEAH. THEY REACHED OUT TO ME
ARCHIE AND SHAKA KING, I GUESS THEY WANTED ME TO WRITE THE THEME SONG FOR IT, AND WE HAD
SOME CONVERSATIONS, AND I WATCHED THE MOVIE IN THE STUDIO, AND I TOLD THEM, I WAS
LIKE, "I THINK I CAN CREATE A MASTERPIEE FOR THIS MOVIE." AND I WAS SO TOUCHED BY THE
STORY AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS, BUT ALSO HOW MANY I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT FRED HAMPTON.
AND I KNEW THE NAME AND THE ASSOCIATION WITH THE BLACK PANTHERS
BUT WHEN I WATCHED THE MOVIE I WAS REALLY BLOWN AWAY AND KIND OF SAD THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE DETAILS OF THE STORY >> Jimmy: YEAH WHAT DO WE WANT THE MESSAGE TO
BE WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THIS >> MAN, I MEAN, THE SONG WAS REALLY JUST REPRESENTING THE
THEMES AND WHAT FRED HAMPTON WAS ABOUT, AND ALL THE THINGS HE WAS FIGHTING FOR.
HE WAS NOT JUST FIGHTING FOR THE BLACK PANTHERS HE WASN'T JUST FIGHTING FOR THE
BLACK COMMUNITY. HE WAS FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUALITY ALL ACROSS
THE BOARD. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND I JUST THINK IT'S WHAT
WE REPRESENT NOW AS A PEOPLE, COMPASSION, WHAT WE NEED TO REPRESENT NOW.
JUST THE FIGHT AND THE STRUGGLE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AND JUST CONTINUING HIS WORK
SO I THINK WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THIS SONG, THE IDEA WAS FOR THEM TO BE HOPEFUL AND TO KNOW
THAT THERE IS HOPE FOR OUR FUTURE, ESPECIALLY WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN
IN 2020. I THINK IT'S GIVEN PEOPLE JUST A MORE POSITIVE OUTLOOK.
AND IT'S A GROOVE. AND I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BEAUTY AND PAIN IN THAT
AND I THINK YOU FEEL THAT IN THIS SONG. >> Jimmy: YEAH, AND HOPE
I REALLY LIKED IT. AND I LOVED THE MOVIE AND THE PERFORMANCES
I JUST SAW THAT YOU RECENTLY PERFORMED AT THE APOLLO THEATER HERE IN NEW YORK CITY.
>> YES >> Jimmy: AND I WAS LIKE, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN AMAZING
AND THEN SOMEONE TOLD ME ON OUR SHOW THAT THAT WAS NOT YOUR FIRST TIME AT THE APOLLO
>> YEAH. THAT WAS NOT MY FIRST TIME BUT IT WAS MY FIRST TIME
PERFORMING WITH D'ANGELO SO IT WAS LIKE A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR ME.
AND IT WAS INSANE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I REALLY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT
>> Jimmy: BUT WAIT, TELL ME ABOUT THE FIRST TIME AT THE APOLLO
THIS IS -- YOU'RE SO TALENTED. WHEN DID YOU PERFORM THE APOLLO
>> OKAY. SO FUNNY ENOUGH, I WAS 9 YEARS OLD AND MY MOM SUBMITTED LIKE
A TAPE TO BE ON LIKE THE KIDS "SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO" THING AND MY DAD WAS KIND OF LIKE,
"OH, THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE THAT." AND THEN LONG STORY SHORT, I
ENDED UP GOING TO A PHYSICAL AUDITION AND WHEN I GOT TO THE AUDITION,
BEFORE I STARTED SINGING, I PICKED UP THE MIC AND THEY WERE LIKE, "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, STOP,
WE ALREADY SAW YOUR TAPE SO YOU GET TO COME TO THE APOLLO."
AND MY PARENTS WERE LIKE, "OH MY GOSH, OKAY. SO WE ENDED UP GOING TO
NEW YORK IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK AND I SANG "FREEWAY OF
LOVE" BY ARETHA FRANKLIN WHEN I WAS 9. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: WELL, WE HAVE A CLIP FROM THAT PERFORMANCE. HERE IS 9-YEAR-OLD H.E.R.,
