I guess the rapper channels by their voice? Easy.
00:00:15.180

00:00:40.180
Like something that inspired me about Tupac was just his way of speaking on how he felt at any place in time.
00:00:49.080
And like not caring about what anybody else had to say about his beliefs.
00:00:54.540
Audience that's listening, they can understand how to make it. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to give them the formula.
00:00:59.420

00:01:04.280
We got a curse or something. You know what I'm saying? The last people that come out here was A$AP Marvin and GS9.
00:01:07.980
Like every day, it wasn't like he just going to sit me down and just tell me like, oh, da-da-da-da-da.
00:01:15.180
Some days he'll sit you in a room. It'll just be you and him. Y'all just chop it.
00:01:19.780
Some days you just really just got to watch him.
00:01:24.620
Maybe like 80,000, 90,000 followers. And we just went there and vibed down.
00:01:28.880
We made a song. Not that song that we put out, but we made a song.
00:01:32.740
And we just, I guess, you know, vibing. And yeah, we were just pretty...
00:01:38.700
And then through the process of music, stress, all this stuff going on, a lot of shit going on.

00:01:43.240
I kind of lost it. That's why I said like making my album was really a testimony.
0.91
00:01:48.020
Because like I lost myself in the process of making it.
00:01:51.460
I was in school somewhere and I just heard that.
00:01:53.920
Hard-ass 808s. And like the weird like snares and shit.

00:02:03.000
When it was still underground. The rappers from Brooklyn with the...
00:02:05.900
Like going crazy. Even your team be like, oh shit, you got to go crazy.

00:02:10.440
They putting pressure on me and shit. I'm like, hold on.

00:02:12.740
I didn't forget who the fuck I was for a bit.
0.98
00:02:27.180
I only had 15 minutes out of myself for about three, four months straight.
00:02:34.520
I like my younger fans to look at me as like a role model.
00:02:46.360
Because if it was the right thing, I'd still be doing it.
00:02:48.620
Whatever you want to do in life, find something that you don't mind doing for the rest of your life.
00:02:55.300
And even if it seems like it's impossible, it's very, very possible.
00:03:07.020
You never, you know, see what's going to happen in the future.
00:03:22.840
Like every store, every side of town, wherever.
0.97
00:03:27.800
We got them shits going all the way up the pole up until where a nigga can't reach no more.
1.00
00:03:42.820
They used a, that's a bad fucking trippy clip though because like.
0.96
00:03:46.440
Me growing up when I got in trouble early.
1.00
00:03:49.860
So I ain't never been grown until like right now because I've been in jail.
0.99
00:03:54.020
All the times where it really counted like, you know.
0.99
00:03:56.440
Like I ain't going to graduate high school and shit.
1.00
00:04:34.280
I'm, just tell him what I have to do and I'll make out for it, bro.
00:04:46.300
What happened was like, see how I make my music is?
00:04:48.880
Like, it's based off of like everything that happened probably that same day.
00:04:53.200
So I make songs like, I probably make one song a day.
00:05:05.280
Bro, can you guys just stop being fucking?
1.00
00:05:14.740
Put on RoboCop because I said it's my favorite beat and try to make me freestyle it.
00:05:18.400
Like Kanye, like Kanye freestyled on RoboCop and he's going to try to make me do it.
00:05:28.820
But pretty much they just came down, visited regular.
00:05:31.660
My mom got her own spot, her own thing going.
1.00
00:05:35.760
My sister, on the other hand, she, you know, she's going through her life situation.
00:05:41.260
I was going to help her out, you know, get her.
00:05:56.600
Basically, I feel like anybody who's made it so far has had focused on music or their
00:06:02.380
Whatever they're doing in their art, they focused on it 100% at that time.
00:06:05.560
Like, there was a time that they focused on it 100%, not have school, not have music.
00:06:09.400
But I've seen comments on YouTube and, like, little blogs post.
00:06:15.160
And I just kind of, on Instagram, I kind of check comments and people are just, I mean,
00:06:19.720
But then there's a lot of people that's just like, why is he in a job?
00:06:25.100
I haven't really got a chance to, even, like, most of the rappers in there.
0.99
00:06:28.700
They at least stop by their schools and do a little performance for, like, I got to a
00:06:32.940
point where I ain't even had time to do none of that.
00:06:39.340
And people be like, why you like that shit?
1.00
00:06:41.320
It's like, yo, it's so much truth and justice within that.
1.00
00:06:47.260
Anybody is the controller of their own destiny.
00:06:50.400
And the controller of their body and the way to understand the words.
00:06:53.320
Some people probably just listen to it and don't listen to the words and stuff.
00:06:56.120
Because I be noticing, like, the song that I really dropped, it really be for the
00:07:02.480
But, like, them type of songs don't hit the radio.
00:07:06.840
Just talking about how far this journey has come from Inception, you know, and just to
00:07:11.120
be here at the premiere, to see my brother Dave, you know, a part of it, and see, you
00:07:23.640
I got three videos up there, because it takes three to get verified, so I said, all right,
00:07:30.780
But I heard they're spying on us, so I don't know.
