Were you there for 24 hours? I was there for business yeah business no pleasure oh you know i i take pleasure in business sometimes but yeah i know what you're
Starting point is 00:01:14 asking me nah no you didn't meet any ladies i didn't spend any money no okay okay good to know um i want to go back to the beginning because I'm like, already you sitting in this chair, Jack. The ladies are blushing. They're happy. They're cozy. They're like, oh, Jack's here. They all have a crush. But today we're going to make them really fall in love, I can tell. Okay?
Starting point is 00:01:34 So we need to get to know you. Okay? Okay. So we're going to go back to the very beginning. You grew up in Kentucky, born and raised. That's right. You just moved back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Tell me, why is your hometown so... Why are you looking at me like that? Nah, just excited. Talk to me about your hometown and what it means to you. Gosh, where do I start? I mean, growing up listening to rap music, you would hear artists talk about the cities they were from and just lift them up and i was just like damn like louisville needs that and so it became a priority to me yeah and um i love where
Starting point is 00:02:33 i'm from i just love it i love it that's why i'm there it just makes me happy and i think it's like it's slow and it's laid back a little different than la yes very very very um is it okay you just said like you kind of like roll it off the tongue you're like louisville is it louisville you almost got it you almost got it i'd say locally it's the ville is more vol vol louisville louisville louisville it kind of just like in the throat you're just like oh yeah yeah it just it's not it's buttery it's syrupy yeah but like if you hear people say louisville do you give a shit well not deeply and i i'm beyond my like correcting it stage yeah it's just it's not tasteful but you peep it you notice notice. Yeah, yeah. Well, because my friends both went to college there, like my good friends.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And then when I went for a wedding last year, I was trying to suss out the vibe because I was like, I want to say Louisville, but like I was trying to not like embarrass myself. So I just said Louisville. But then you just said I said it right. So I'm going to just keep saying Louisville. Louisville. Louisville. Yeah, you're there.
Starting point is 00:03:43 You're there. What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about Kentucky it's a good question it's really good I see why you're in the position you're in you know what to do I'm just getting started you know what to do trust me I believe it um well I'll tell you specifically the city i'm from feels very misunderstood i think in terms of like a national identity because kentucky's so dominantly rural and louisville is is like a full-blown city like with a downtown tall buildings like hundreds of thousands of people live there so i think we feel a little misunderstood for that reason so Louisville specifically there's some misconceptions I don't want to speak for the whole state but
Starting point is 00:04:30 there's always more than meets the eye yeah there is like you what were you like as a kid I wasn't allowed to play video games when I was really young, so I read a lot. What did you read? Novels on novels. I was really into Harry Potter. I just read. I remember there was this series. I'm glad you asked so I have a chance to shout it out.
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's called Warriors. It was about these cats that lived in clans and tribes. It just had me fucking hooked. I was deep in it so um i just loved books i don't know if i would be able to do what i was doing without the literature in my early life i heard hip-hop for the first time i was like shit this rhythm mixed with expressing myself it was just i didn't realize you were a harry potter stan
Starting point is 00:05:25 can we talk about that for a second well i'm not a stan but yes then what the fuck are you you just fucking i'm a stan come on let's go oh you're like easily persuaded i'm easy yeah your pressure let's go jack the whole time easily i'm very impressed yeah who's your favorite of the harry potters yeah the characters yeah who was that asian girl he was fucking wet she was like there for a second she had me she had me weak i can't lie she had me open reading that shit the details jk rowling used to bring it
Starting point is 00:06:06 i was in there nine years old pants tightening up like what the fuck is happening to me do you think the first time you jerked off was when you were like at like the 16th chapter and you're like all right i gotta put the book down i'm getting hard no i know what the first time i beat my dick share with the with the class, Jack. Yeah, I just realized I've been waiting for a chance. It's the right opportunity. Jimmy Fallon ain't want to talk about it. No one wants to talk about that shit.
Starting point is 00:06:34 They'll bleep it out. They'll cut the whole thing out. But somehow, this is right up your alley. This will be the whole promo. This will be it. I just remember. I just remember. I remember the first time I tried to go there, it rose and it was like, the feeling was so unfamiliar to me that I got all the way to near climax and stopped. I think I was 12 years old in middle school and I just stopped because I was like, I don't know what's going to happen if this busts.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And so I went to sleep. I just went to sleep. And the next night, I'm like, fuck it, I'm going all the way. And I became an ocean. Do you remember that feeling? Like, what did you think to yourself? I thought, goddamn, I get it. This shit's all right. I love how you gave yourself blue balls for, like, the first time. I was terrified.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I don't know, because it just was rising and rising and rising. I'm like, where are we going? Great feeling. You said that you weren't allowed to play video games. What was your house like growing up? Like what was the dynamic? Who's in your house? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:07:32 My two parents who love each other deeply to this day and my little brother. Oh, nice. I owe a lot to my parents. I got good parents. You do? Yeah. And they're still together. They are.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Deeply in love. Wow. So are you kind of like a romantic guy you know i was for a while oh what happened i don't know i'm just deeply in my patch if my patch stage right now like not that i'm i'm not i'm not like necessarily cutthroat i just like i think when i was 21 i just seeked so much validation. And it gave me such a rush to make a girl feel special. And it was almost like, how many can I make feel special?
Starting point is 00:08:12 Just to be honest. And I think I didn't want to sleep by myself. And if I was, I wanted to get on FaceTime with someone and fall asleep on FaceTime. And something shifted where I want my space more than ever and um i mean i'm as transparent as i've ever been and i'm just tell it what it is and i i don't fucking i'm not worried if if it's not right for the other person it's like let's keep moving yeah peace out so it's a different stage i think something in the last like 12 months probably something shifted i think i know it shifted but we'll get there um okay wait to hear your diagnosis yeah yeah don't worry we're going full diagnosis this is a therapy session just so
Starting point is 00:08:55 you know are you in therapy yeah okay good well this is an extended version good you can tell your therapist we don't need our session this week i sit down with alex yeah it's already canceled you said you said that you were like you were looking for validation talk to me about what you were like in high school did you get the girls were you a loser were you bullied were you the bully what was going on um i could always get i could always get the girl I wanted. It's not like I was like, I didn't have my way across the board, but I could get the cute girl. Okay. I could get the cute girl. I was well-liked in high school.
Starting point is 00:09:34 What were your friends like? I feel like that kind of, like, were you like an athlete guy? Were you a, like, chess player? Were you in the book club? I started making music so early that the rapper category kind of got stamped on me really early so I would pass out cds in school and everyone knew I was chasing this for a long time so I was in sort of my own category even locally I experienced a taste of fame from the age of like 14 on because I would go out in public and people would stop me and ask me for pictures just at other schools so it was unique it was unique
Starting point is 00:10:10 i feel like i know fuck what was his name was like sammy do you know who i'm talking about sammy adams sammy adams from philly and i remember i know what you're talking about of like i feel like a lot of high school i opened for sammy adams when i was 18 years old shut the fuck i was 18 years old no one was there to see me i was playing for his crowds it was fine it's right right of passage right first tour i ever went on like four dates on the east coast we drove ourselves out there no one with us just me my dj and two of my friends and we drove from every venue and we opened up to a bunch of people staring at us like who the fuck is this like can can samuel please come out here like fuck samuel this chat kid does not do it for me and i was like you know no beard glasses still on like
Starting point is 00:10:53 didn't know how to cut my hair like i was it was raw it was a very raw time but it was character building that's kind of funny the juxtaposition of like you being a rapper and then having like your glasses and like maybe not like looking the part yeah i think i think when i was younger i really was like banking on that juxtaposition i think i think i was like oh this shock value is gonna be what does it for me and then i think i got to a point where i took the glasses off and like started like tending to how i looked became slightly more vain and i was like i like looking in the mirror and being pleased i like i
Starting point is 00:11:25 don't really want to be tethered to these glasses so that's how the shift came about yeah were people in your hometown like i feel like sometimes people are assholes at that age being like you're a fucking loser stop trying to make it where were people around you supportive or were they like you're dumb move on it was split it was polarizing for people people were it was it was very divisive like people either thought it was super tight that i was doing that or they thought like from a distance they never would say it to me i was i wasn't stuffing the locker material i was you know i was walking through that motherfucker with broad shoulders like i wasn't i wasn't the high school quarterback but like nobody was fucking talking to me you know
Starting point is 00:12:05 but there were people that definitely thought it was land and would shit on me and i would hear from other schools that people thought it was land like oh you fuck with that kid that shit's terrible so it was split you know what's funny is like just so anyone listening the ladies like i think there's something on google because i was gonna give you merch and i was like oh like i i remember i met him at snl and like he's taller than i expected and online there's something of like he's either five eight or he's like six two and there's like a misconception and i think like people think you're shorter than you are so i'm here to say you're pretty tall thank you so yeah you weren't getting stuffed into lockers thank you for that too you wouldn't have fit that's right um how
Starting point is 00:12:50 would your teachers have described you back then if they were British they would have said cheeky I was well liked by my teachers but I was not focused on school at all good grades bad grades poor poor mediocre like d's or c's c's and d's not failing getting through but like not focused cheating endlessly oh you know it's a skill fuck the thing is at the beginning of high school we signed like a uh did y'all have to do that we signed like an oath i was like fuck man they could take me to court because i didn't earn my shit i'll tell you what how far would you go to cheat like did you have any like tricks i had tricks surely tricks now you're not in school trust me i had tricks okay i had tricks i was uh i was just in with the smart girls in the classes i was in with them
Starting point is 00:13:48 you could send picture messages when i was in high school like you know obviously i didn't grow up in the 60s so i'm joking but if i had a vibe with a girl she was coming through with 11 attachments i'm like she would bless me and i'd be like i owe you oh i'm gonna take care of you because that is a love language right there ain't it baby you help me cheat right oh and you will how intimate is that though how intimate is that that is special and i used to just put my arm around like you you held me down like oh i owe you i don't know what i owe you but i owe you something we're gonna figure it out it was the attention what you gave them or did you ever hook up with anyone that helped you cheat
Starting point is 00:14:35 i'm sure i'm sure i did but i don't think was, I don't know if it was a direct, like, debt exchange when I did it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But coincidentally, I may have, but it was love. It was love. I always had a lot of homegirls. Okay. That it didn't have to go anywhere. It was just, there's nothing like the company of a woman.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I know I'm in the right arena to be saying that, but I really, I deeply believe that. Like, it's like, it's so relaxed. It is. Yeah. We're pretty great. Yeah. But what I can imagine is like, did you have a girlfriend in high school ever? I did for a portion of it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 How did that go over with her? You having all these lady friends. Well, she's at another school. No. Let me chill. I feel like you played a lot of games back in the day it didn't feel like it i just was me i just was i was i'd like to i just like to have friends you like to have friends with vaginas it's like i want to move on because somehow the wounds seem
Starting point is 00:15:39 fresh no matter how long ago was it's just like yo let's chill let's chill we're literally talking about high school middle school he's like oh yeah like this she gonna hear this how many girlfriends did you have in high school i had one how long a year oh i was on the same shit i'm on now then i'm you know playing the field you know chilling seeing what's going on oh assessing the situation yeah uh-huh uh-huh you are funny okay we're moving on what was the major turning point in your career if you had to say like one big moment we were like oh people fucking know me now i mean what's popping was a huge one there was little steps up till then like there's a lot of people that approached me and told me at
Starting point is 00:16:25 different times in the late 2010s they became aware of me like had these records that would go viral on twitter from like 2017 2018 29 so it was building it was building and then it was and then it took this big jump what was popping and i remember pulling up at a red light and the person next to me looking over and be like and that that was when I was like, OK, it's here we go. Just I'm out in public. I'm not in my hometown and people are stopping me. So that must be so crazy. Like now understanding that you always kind of were like recognizable in Kentucky, but then to go somewhere else and be like, oh, fuck, I think I'm like famous now. How do you handle that? you like it it's very validating i mean especially overseas like walking through new zealand and australia and people
Starting point is 00:17:12 people know it's like you feel that's one of those moments where you take that time to pat yourself on the back so it feels really good it feels good good. Do you like the New Zealand women? Yeah. What country have you, like, maybe liked the most of the ladies? Who show you the most love outside of the U.S.? I really like London. Those women know how to talk. You know what I mean? They know how to talk.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You like a woman that talks a lot? Yeah, and i like well yeah you spun that a certain way shut the fuck up but to a point hey let me tell you something you are funny you are funny you're kind of funny i mean i assumed you were yeah but this is proof right here. Okay, thanks. I just think the women over there have a certain wit and a certain, you know, they just. Cheeky. They're cheeky. And they feel like they read a lot of books growing up.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Do you like a strong, confident, smart woman? All those sound good. What's your type? I just like sweethearts, man. I like sweet ass girls. I like sweet ass girls i like sweet ass girls so if a girl's playing a game with you are you like no like do you like a girl that's like hi jack like i like you are you saying just like sweet nice-hearted but like maybe they can kind
Starting point is 00:18:35 of i'm not saying a girl has to like be a pushover let me walk all over her that's not what i mean by sweet i just mean that i don't like mean spirited energy at all. And I don't like toxicity. I don't that that's not one of my fetishes. And I know that's, that's going right now. There's a lot of guys that are into that. I have no patience for it.
Starting point is 00:18:54 And I'm glad you asked about games. I don't, I don't want to play any game. I just want to enjoy it. And that's right now. That's who I am right now. If you ask me this when I'm, when I turned 30,
Starting point is 00:19:03 who knows? Maybe you're playing the games at 30. Hopefully not. Maybe you're stirring up the toxic. There's no telling. I'm just saying it may shift from sweet to like, yo, I need a woman that challenges the fuck out of me. And is at this level, is above me, this and that. It's like, it's just who I am right now.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Like maybe you want a woman that's like making the bread. I mean, it doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world. Yeah. You mentioned when you were talking about vulnerability, I'm'm like what's your biggest insecurity when you were younger and like do you still feel that way i think when i was really young my teeth were pre braces my teeth made it you know when you're like eight years old and your teeth are fucked me too it's a common one that was one one. Did you get braces where, like, you would, like, decorate with the colors on the little... I think I had some blue shit going on. But, like, Halloween time, you didn't do, like, black and orange?
Starting point is 00:19:52 No, but you did. I didn't. It was, like, disgusting. Like, I look back, and I'm like, it looks like there's, like, carrots and black beans in my teeth. It don't matter, then. But no one wanted that sex. I could totally see you at 11 years old oh my god i had two big front teeth and no one wanted to finger me no one wanted to touch
Starting point is 00:20:12 me doc i was always the girl like never on the top five never getting fingered never damn damn damn i got the craziest story about fingering okay sure i low-key wanted to take this shit to NBC, but we're here. You already brought up fingering. I just want to tell you about a pregnancy scare I had. Okay, here we go. In middle school. Okay, here we go. So I had this chick I was messing with, 7th or 8th grade, I think 8th grade.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And she was touching me, I was messing with seventh seventh or eighth grade I think eighth grade and um she was touching me I was touching her and a little bit of pre-cum like got on her hands and my hands and you know about pre-cum so so then I fingered my girlfriend in middle school and the next day she hit me and she's like yeah I think I missed my period and I'm like now hold on and I started my mind starts racing my mind starts racing thinking about it all and we meet up at the buses and I'm like you know I had pre-cum on my fingers when I was touching I don't know if do you and she was like, and then days went by. I remember, I swear to God, I remember it so vividly. She texted me. I asked her, I'm like, did you get it?
Starting point is 00:21:33 And she's like, I still didn't get it. My period. And thunder struck outside my window. Thunder struck. And I was like, fuck. And I was so convinced this girl was pregnant. And I couldn't tell anybody. I had nobody nobody to talk to like we're having a baby like my parents i couldn't have told him i even fingered somebody because it was like what the fuck you do a finger in somebody
Starting point is 00:21:54 and uh little do you know if you told your parents they'd be like let us teach you a little thing about sex it would have been such a relief so it's my birthday weekend ruining my 13th 12th or 13th birthday and i remember being at school and i just like lean against the wall in the hallway as everyone's going into class and i just slide down the wall and put my head in my hands and start bawling like i start fucking crying because i'm so convinced i just got a girl pregnant and just ruined everything and um it was just dark dark dark and then after school i just was like down in the dumps i couldn't tell anyone why and then she came to me and she's like i got my period i was so relieved so relieved but that was a that was one of my first tastes of like grown-up anxiety did you use condoms ever since yes on my fingers too
Starting point is 00:22:47 wrap that shit up you know every time you have sex you use a condom and everyone should have you ever had sex without a condom i've always wanted to you think you'll ever get of a go maybe after marriage oh you'll let it go raw yeah what do you think it will feel like i lost my virginity raw actually and god damn it was in that moment i was like oh shit because it had taken it had taken me and her weeks to get it in because i didn't know you had to wet it up so i was putting i was putting dry on dry i was putting a dry dick against a dry and i was like it's huge i'm like this motherfucker won't and then and then i just spit it up it on and suddenly and then it just spit it on.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And suddenly it just fell in. And I was like, I remember I was in that motherfucker. I looked down and I was like, oh, we're going to be here for a minute if I'm lucky. And I started. And then 45 seconds later. We gone. I was like, I'm out. I'm out but i i it's so funny it's so stupid but it is an amazing moment when you first feel that and it's good it's i know they teach us around

I want to feel that shit. Thank God I did because I was like, this is why, this is humanity. I felt humanity in one stroke. I felt the cause of humanity in one stroke. We know you love Dua Lipa.

Starting point is 00:26:01 Girls wear scrubs to my shows. And I'm not being funny. Okay, let's role play. You're trying to impress me. You're taking me on a date. Walk me through what we're doing, where we're going. What's the vibe? I really like going to dinner.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And obviously that's not revolutionary. But that's just one of my favorite pastimes. Honestly, I love going out to dinner with or without a girl. Like, I just love it. I think I would just set up a plan and just tell you what it is and we run it. I don't know. I'm not the most extravagant, but I like to be somewhere quiet. I don't want music blaring.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I don't want to be yelling over something. I want to be with you in a dark corner in a booth. And I want us to be able to get as close as we want to get and you know exchange smiles whispering each other's ear like true intimacy that's like if I really want to go on a date with a girl I want to be I don't want to go to a movie I don't want to go do an activity I want to be I want to be how you and I are right now but there just ain't no marble table between us like I want to be on you and I are right now, but there just ain't no marble table between us. Like, I want to be on each other. When was your last serious relationship? Sometime in the last couple years.
Starting point is 00:27:10 How long did it last? A couple years. Have you ever been in love? I'd like to think so. How many times? Potentially once. Well, I hear people describe love, and I'm like, God damn. Like, that is something that is something but
Starting point is 00:27:28 i don't know if i've been intoxicated like i felt deep infatuation but i i've been in love with someone once i've been in love with someone and love someone and i felt that but i don't know if i felt the highest heights I've seen other people go. I've seen people just lose themselves in it. And it's like, I'm not, it's not a criticism of it. I'm more just like, wow,
Starting point is 00:27:51 like that is a deep rush. Like I ain't never had that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I bet you will one day. Thank you. And then I think maybe you'll say,
Starting point is 00:28:01 Ooh, like now I'm really in love. That's how it seems to go. Right. I mean, my high school girlfriend, like there might've been a sense of like, Ooh, we're in love. And then you have another one after that. You're say, ooh, like now I'm really in love. That's how it seems to go, right? I mean, my high school girlfriend, like there might have been a sense of like, ooh,
Starting point is 00:28:08 we're in love. And then you have another one after that. You're like, no, this is it. And then you have another. Yeah. But don't you,
Starting point is 00:28:11 that maybe it's just also life. Like maybe you're not capable in high school. Like you actually were in that moment in love of what you were capable of. And you just keep dialing in your preferences. And suddenly you're with somebody that fits where you're at right then. And you're like, oh yeah, this is what the fuck I've been looking for yeah a brunette that's sweet
Starting point is 00:28:28 in a nurse outfit done oh you just gave me chills the fuck I want to discuss some of your song lyrics. You say, I'm vanilla, baby. I'll choke you, but I ain't no killer, baby. You're smacking the delivery on a scale of vanilla to kinky where are you at in your sex game five five weak ass answer right come on well it's just like i have i have my kinks i can't front but i also if you ask the woman i'm with it's like they're like god damn i wish i could get this

So everybody's got their thing. But I had to be coaxed. I had to be taught. I had to learn. I had to learn how to talk. During sex. Yes. You were immune.
Starting point is 00:29:52 When I was 19, yeah, I was just like, I was a breather. But I started to figure that out. And so, you know, people ask for what they want. And you're like, some of it, you're like some of it you're like okay this is actually turning me up but then some of it like the lyric in the song is like i'll do that for you but it's not making my dick harder but i know it's not it's not about me in that moment can you help me understand we got vanilla and we got kinky and you're in the middle so i'm gonna say something to you and you're gonna tell me if it's vanilla or kinky okay missionary sex the best
Starting point is 00:30:32 it's good as it gets it's that corner booth in sex form ain't it don't you think sometimes people think missionary would be vanilla but if you do it the right way i know they think it is it's fine with me that's how we got going though that's how the homo erectus was like that's that's default like let's just face facts it's default we've been over sexualized as a culture and motherfuckers don't want to look each other in the eye anymore and put their nose on each other's nose and put their tongue down each other's throats while they're getting strokes like come on like there's nothing better there's nothing better and everybody has their own preferences that's fine it's not objective but it feels pretty close to objective like well you can get in there like yeah in there
Starting point is 00:31:12 but i think some people really don't want to look at each other because they're like i fucking hate you but just let's fuck but you're not like that you're making sweet love typically every once in a while you gotta roll the motherfucker over but yeah yeah what is your favorite sex position we are we just spent the last 10 minutes that is it if i didn't ask you don't know what they call me wow what do they call you you gotta make music right mj mj no they don't you call yourself that no that's i don't know why i got that nickname as a young child my grandmother called me that at two years old missionary jack why i was two years old my grandma you know that simba had that shit she wiped some of that shit on my head she's like he's gonna love missionary
Starting point is 00:32:00 what do you think about whips and chains obviously it's in your song i like no whips and chains but you can hold me down i'm vanilla baby i choke i love your takes on my voice 28 telling me i'm still a baby no i, I don't like whips and chains. I don't want to be tired. Sucking her toes. Whose? The girl you're hooking up with.
Starting point is 00:32:31 If she said Jack. It would take the right woman. There's someone that could bring it out of me, though. I know it. Maybe it's the person earlier that you said you didn't want to say it. Perhaps. Sexting. Crucial. Crucial. Hot take. you didn't want to say it perhaps sexting crucial crucial hot take are you the guy that's sending paragraphs oh the romance novels are you putting like and then i bend you over and breathe in here
Starting point is 00:32:56 furthermore we move forward i do a lot of i just like to read with my left hand. Keep going. That too? All right. I like quick fire. And that's how I text. I like to send eight words, six words, five words, one after another. So I'll send somebody 13 texts in a row. I just hate when I read the paragraph, if a man has ever sexted me,
Starting point is 00:33:20 and it's like first. And I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ, here we go. It's like then. Moving forward. And you're like, let's just let's just yeah i mean that'll make you soft i can't lie once they go like that you're like yeah that's a good effort my next question was a finger in the butthole i don't want nothing in my ass but i don't mind somebody you know sifting sifting sifting credit carding you know that's very intimate i like being i like being a little spoon anyway so i don't mind somebody scratching my back and then saying, ha ha, la la la. La la dee.
Starting point is 00:34:08 What about a little lick? I can fuck with that. I can get cleaned out. I see why you run this shit. You are funny. You are funny. I feel like your DMs are going to be scary after this episode
Starting point is 00:34:25 daddy gang goes hard girls listen to this only a few i'm just joking well how do you feel about hand jobs traumatized i mean my first pregnancy almost came from uh i remember i i used to love me a handjob. Really? And I still, I still, I'm a fan. It has to be moisturized, but I like it. But I just remember that girlfriend I had, she used to stand in front of me at events and she would just work my shit over my jeans. I swear I'd look at that motherfucker later, that bitch was bruised.
Starting point is 00:35:00 But at the moment it was like, over the jeans, just working my shit. I'm leaving there. I've never given one of those. Do you suggest? It's too late for you. It's too late for you now. You're past that period.
Starting point is 00:35:22 What's your best skill in the bedroom? R&D. that period what's your best skill in the bedroom r&d rhythm and dialogue rhythm and dialogue rhythm underrated just like me misunderstood too do you think you're misunderstood i just i guess i just feel like i guess i just feel like i wish i fit in i don't know what are you saying in the bedroom what are you doing over there are you now after you went through your breathing phase because that's why because now i don't breathe there is i had i had work to be done and met somebody older than me and so i think you just turned my dialogue up they said let me teach you yeah and it got out it just became very like express what you feel right now just express it you don't need no lines became very like express what you feel right now. Just express it.
Starting point is 00:36:25 You don't need no lines you wrote earlier. Say what you feel right this moment. So to anyone watching out there, that's what I recommend. Literally stream of consciousness is the best thing you can do. Like what are you feeling against your flesh right now? Describe it. If you can vividly describe it, talk about it, talk about how you feel about it. What you want.
Starting point is 00:36:51 What you want for them. Say it. Let it be known. Literature. Are you good at detecting if a woman is faking an orgasm? Damn. No, I'm not. So sad.
Starting point is 00:37:10 So many women have probably faked it. You're awesome. Like, think about all the women. I mean, surely. Surely. I still want to go to dinner later so for sure you're gonna pay and like you know what it is they want the uber ride home let's talk about your new single it is really good thank you it's like it's nice to see you say something so earnest i know it was hard for you i know you
Starting point is 00:37:45 switch them right back into character here shortly but that moment meant a lot to me it is really good thank you it's so catchy it's it's the jack carlo we know and love and i think it must can you talk to me though how it must feel like when you see it's like so popular right now trending on as we know tiktok is so important right now for like music also what does it feel like when you wake up and you're like everyone's making a fucking tiktok about my song impact is always so validating and i dropped an album earlier this year called jackman that i would say like wasn't even in the TikTok universe obviously there's people on TikTok because so many people on there that took it in but it wasn't a TikTok moment the way this has
Starting point is 00:38:33 been or first class has been and that album meant the world to me and it was extremely introspective and personal and I love it it might be my best work thus far. And then to pivot back into something that is high octane, just fun, and, like, it comes on and it's, like, it's not serious. It's, like, let's enjoy ourselves. It feels really good because a lot of what I was making this year is intimate. It's intimate. It's for the headphones. It's a personal experience.
Starting point is 00:39:03 This song is, is like you can feel it you want to play it at a show yeah yeah is that annoying though like as musicians watch it's like it's kind of wild how influential tiktok is right now like there are people that their whole career started because they hit one beat in one song and people like who the fuck is this so like is it annoying do you ever have to think of like what's gonna work and like what would maybe be better on social media well for example like that album i put out i didn't make a single tiktok for it because it was like this ain't that but this song i knew like i had such a feeling about it like i just wanna because i know as soon as it came on,
Starting point is 00:39:46 I was playing it for people. And it just felt like something, like, the masses need to hear this. So, of course, you put some thought into, like, yeah, I feel like this is going to, they're going to fuck with this. But I don't know if it's annoying. I mean, it's where fucking culture is. And culture continues to move. There was something 10 years
Starting point is 00:40:05 ago that was happening to the music industry that was so annoying for people i mean the streaming switch there's a world of people like oh this is and tiktok is a is a weapon it's a vehicle and of course there's people that are working on there but longevity is longevity so we we're gonna eventually see who translates it to something more but it's the weapon right now yeah it's what it is crazy it's so it's unbelievable it's crazy it's unbelievable what um what is your writing process like i like you in this bag you do i know you had this in you yeah i i'm a businesswoman like i know i can sell i'm joking we can like joke around i see how much range you got thank you my writing process typically i walk through life have conversations
Starting point is 00:40:54 and i'll say something to somebody like we're talking here and a first line will appear to me and i'll be like oh that's a good way to start a song and i'll just write the first line down and suddenly i'll have this collection of first lines on my notes. Then I go in the studio and a beat plays. And if I love a beat, I put it on and I start running through the first lines and saying different first lines on the beat. And one of them just will slide right into place. It'll just be like, and then my song starts.
Starting point is 00:41:18 It's not always what it is, but for me that has happened to me so many times. It's like I come up, and if you notice a lot of my songs, I put an emphasis on the first line like i really care about the first thing you hear being like okay here we go and like tyler hero for me the ones that hate me the most look just like me like that was something i just had been wanting to say and you're just waiting for a beat to place it that's so interesting yeah and then you take the other ones and hold them until you find another beat for them yeah yeah or something and then you have the occasion like on loving on me vanilla baby was i heard the beat and he was talking about i don't like no whips and chains and i was like okay i get the subject matter and the first thing i thought of was like i'm vanilla
Starting point is 00:41:59 baby and you just mumble something out and you're like okay i'm in a groove let me lay this down so sometimes the beat dictates it you just get a feeling that's so crazy so do you a lot of times go in there and since you're recording like you'll just say a bunch of random shit that will stick and then you can listen back and be like oh i like what i said it's it's like it gets too messy for me yeah and then you end up loving how you did something and you compromise you write a weak line just because you want that bounce so i try i prefer to have the words written before i go in the booth yep and a lot of my songs are one take like first time i laid it down because it was so it was practiced before i got in there yeah how long so it doesn't take you that long to record a song depends if it's going most good
Starting point is 00:42:43 songs don't take long because you're not getting in the way of there's no self-doubt flooding it like it's just flowing and whatever's sending it down to you you're vomiting it out instead of like oh i shouldn't say that oh they're not gonna like that oh they're gonna like this that's when you get stuck and you only have three lines and it's been two hours yeah but when it's gone it's just it's you can't stop it what is it like when you go into the studio i feel like so many people have like a certain vibe they need like are you do you have a lot of people in the studio do you have no one do you set a vibe do you like candles do you need certain snacks like what's i used to want to be alone i didn't want i didn't
Starting point is 00:43:20 want people in there i thought i don't want to be judged yeah i want to be able to be myself and i actually realized what brings me out is an audience someone to impress whether that's the producers in the room maybe i invite a girl through and you just activate your swag a little bit because you want to walk out of the booth and have those two people those four people be like yo you fucking yeah because they're a crowd of 10 000 people in that moment right so if you have someone to impress it goes a really long way I'm always impressed by people that can like I can write really intimate introspective stuff alone because I'm alone yeah but to make bangers like where I'm popping shit and it's compelling it has conviction I need an audience that's I I could see that like
Starting point is 00:44:01 you almost start to flex a little bit more and like you'll go for stuff more you posture and you're like you're trying to you know you're trying to impress the person in the room and oftentimes they made the beat and so it's this exchange they play you to beat and they're like you gotta fuck this up and you're like i'm about to fuck this up for you you go in there you lay something you come out y'all both listen to it and you stop and it's like it's euphoric all you want in that because there's no one else. All you want in that, because there's no one else there. All you want in that moment is the people you're with to be like, you killed that. Right, that's fire.
Starting point is 00:44:29 You might write based on who's there. Because you know they'll like if I do this. I'm so happy for you. I feel like why I love doing this is because like, as much as we joke, like getting to know you, being younger, running through the streets, like giving your mixtapes out handing people cds like it's cool to see someone that always knew what they wanted to do and then doing it even if you don't have like the biggest stage and like still running with it and then to get to where you are now and seeing your success like thank you congratulations it's really cool you strike me as somebody that's very driven and knows what they want to. So I appreciate that. Thank you.
