Young Maylay CJ interview discusses how he got the role of "CJ" in GTA San Andreas

[@archocystosyrinx]

love how they didnt catch the "aw shit, here we go again"

[@carsynhruska7313]

lmao i know right, maylays cheesy smile is comedy cuz he knows they didn’t catch that shit either 😭😭😭

I love how you think two Old Head Double OG dudes actually from LA that probably did or experienced the shit in GTA would have any idea about the game.

[@Willhollow300]

He's the 100% CJ tht work out max strength

[@Zenki8118]

CJ finally got that gangsta physique

[@briansantiago3223]

Músculos y respeto al máximo

[@Trontasia]

Yeah :) . I usually have him in that state, ever since the PS2 days before the 'Hot Coffee' situation. One time I did have CJ fat, & decided to go to San Fierro on a boat before I was supposed to go there. It was fun + funny hearing him say 'fat man' lines which sounded like jokes. Boated to the Gant Bridge. There was a couples times where I got to the max muscle state just running around on-foot enough - like over-time throughout the story. One time I fled as far as San Fierro to one of the stairs & the cops finally got me. Sometimes I wonder if I ruined some of the surprise for myself by going there when I wasn't intended to.

[@ssssssssssssssssss50]

@@Trontasiayou get muscles by running? And i went all over the map with the pc version using cheats while still in los santos stiry part as a kid. The exploration was so cool, finding out things on your own before having internet or guides

[@Trontasia]

@@ssssssssssssssssss50 Well, I meant running around as in however you move around on foot (walking, running, jogging, etc. on foot). I see the message prompt in the top-left go [Muscle +] moving around on-foot after awhile. I don't remember exactly, but I think you could gain Muscle on non-motorized bikes too. You could try popping wheelies on the way & make money from that too. Then in the earlier part of the game, you could afford more-expensive hairstyles. For making money earlier in the game, you could also try to look for & steal a fast cab & keep it in your garage & save. Just get in front of them so they'll stop & then turn & press the [enter vehicle button]. Yeah CJ & I have had a lot of good times together. We've gone on amazon-like travels, thru places like the forests of San Fierro. Started playing on PS2 in 2004, on PC since 2006. On the PS2, if you use a GameShark, the game won't detect you're using GameShark codes. With the GameShark: if you combine infinite health & infinite armor, you'll be 'CJnator'; gun shots AND explosions wont damage or kill you PERIOD :D. Don't remember about falling but that probably won't kill you either.

[@mrhumble7519]

I just searched and find out that: Young Malay, the voice actor for CJ in the "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," settled for a one-time payment for his work. Unlike some voice actors who negotiate residuals based on the game's ongoing sales or usage, Young Malay received a flat fee for his contribution. This means he does not earn additional income from the game's continued success or sales, which is common in the industry for various projects. Damn that must feel bad seeing how gta san andreas till today is being played on ps5

Finally some opening about voicing a legendary character. I don't know why most of the viice actors are so private about it. I'd love to hear Samuel L.

Thanks Ned Luke

I remember playing gta san andreas way back when it first dropped. Me and my bro were big into the GTA games, we started with gta2, before they were even 3D. If anyone hasn't heard Young Maylay's verse he rapped over the San Andreas beat, go listen. Its dope.

Love that grove, CJ is weirdly intertwined with the final formation of my adult psyche. I used to repeat all those outbursts to the point that when it's appropriate, I can say anything like CJ would. Like in my head, I sound like CJ. Sometimes 'i ain't no BITCH' and other times I'm like 'why?', and still other times I'm like ' take yo time and make me love ya good!' saying it like CJ often gives me a little bit to resolve when I need it. Thank you for your role and the way you ran that shit. I can't IMAGINE S.A. with any other CJ. Such an important game in so many ways.
