Like they choose niggas as a kid, like who going to the best AAU team. They granddaddies and daddies been selling dope with the coaches and shit. You feel me? Like, what the fuck? You ain't never wanna play with the family?

Starting point is 00:07:14 from like 6U, like you said, till you get in high school. I played against the same team, like, Kalen Lucas and all them niggas, all was on that same team growing up.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. And what's crazy is like you said, from a basketball standpoint, even now, like Detroit,
Starting point is 00:07:30 y'all wave and music, especially in rap right now, it's crazy. It's been going on super heavy the last couple years. Like, how does it feel for you
Starting point is 00:07:36 to be like, now you up here, like you helping pushing that charge and like you said, everything you're doing is obvious, it's organic.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You ain't forcing nothing. You're just speaking on what you're living. Like, how does it feel to get that impact and the love from just being you? That shit be refreshing for real. I think we all come from the same place. So, I mean, when you make it out that hole,
Starting point is 00:07:54 and it be like a bunch of crabs in a bucket, and, like, you got to think, like, Detroit a place where either they fuck with you or they don't. Like, you feel me? They love you or they don't. You feel me they love you or they don't you feel me that should be like that so when you make it out that and you'll be like all this going on the street going on you'll be like damn this crazy like i can't see why be even mad rappers i can't even get mad no more i can't even get mad. I be mad for a minute, my little shit,
Starting point is 00:08:26 and I just be over it like, damn, I'm really living. State to state doing what I want. I can't even get mad. And that's fire, man, because like you said, taking advantage of an opportunity, like you said, Detroit show love to they city, regardless of what's going on. You can see that with y'all sports teams.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Cause I got homies who still call me about Pistons games and listen, respect to the Pistons, but I saw what y'all did last year. Damn. They suck right now. That shit kind of bold, though. It's depressing. Is it fucking the city up? Yeah, it ain't fucking the city
Starting point is 00:08:59 up, but like, man, you got to think the Lions went 0-16. The Pistons went 0-16. The Pistons went 0-24 or some shit like that. Like, why us? That's what the Lions did. The Lions went crazy this year, bro. You know how many seasons it took for them to come back.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I know, bro. I know, bro. But enjoy the moment, man. You gotta enjoy the moment. But you gotta think, like, they be things like LA. Nigga, both of they teams going crazy at one time. Yeah. Nigga, it was for the longest, like, all we had to support was the Tigers and the Red Wings.
Starting point is 00:09:36 The Red Wings going crazy. I think that ain't no urban shit. That ain't for us. You feel me? You feel me? That shit be crap. That's for Jeff and them people. The Spanish crap.

Starting point is 00:10:02 all these motherfuckers know my song and i didn't even know that i ain't really like i ain't really i don't think i had that moment yet but i felt like it was taking off when travis scott just called me out of nowhere and asked me to go on tour with him like for the end of his tour i'm like damn i get to perform in stadiums no offset tour was by itself okay just me offset me, Offset, and Sleazy World.

Starting point is 00:22:35 and you're all supposed to be the Fab Five. Come on, Skillet. And you don't know like. In the heat of the moment. That pressure different, bro. And he a coach now. That's false. That's pressure different, bro. And he a coach now. That's false. That's pressure different, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:47 False. But, like. I'm agreeing with Skillet. Bro, you fucked up a moment, bro. He did, but that pressure was different, bro. And they was playing Carolina. It ain't like they was playing some bums, though. All right, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That ain't no reason why a nigga call a timeout. Nigga don't care if he was playing Pike. You got to know what's going on in the game for sure. I was going to ask you, Coach, if your kids did that in the game, that's your time out. I know I'm sure you would probably be a little hot. I ain't going to even yell at them. It's just a mistake, bro. I'm going to tell them after time out. You're the best player on the team, though.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I mean, he was the best player on the team. He was getting paid. All that shit was going through his head. I'm supposed to get $50,000 after this. Nigga, he's through his head. Oh, no. I'm supposed to get 50,000 after this. Nigga, he thinking about the 50,000. He forgot
Starting point is 00:23:29 ain't no more time out. Oh, that 50,000 definitely wouldn't have when he called that time out. We might give you 10. I'm glad I did, but shit, he was fucked up.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Respect. I wanted to ask you, like, when you started rapping, like, who was somebody that you grew up, like, listening to that made you want to rap?
Starting point is 00:23:44 Lil Wayne. Yeah. Lil Wayne. Yeah. Lil Wayne, my greatest rapper of all time. Meek Mill, he made me want to rap. That's interesting. Like, them type of niggas made me want to rap for real, for real. Like, I ain't going to lie. It just, I felt like, like, everything them niggas was saying just touched, like, young niggas.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I felt like, yeah, I feel like. Yeah, I fucked with Wayne heavy growing up. That's all we used to play with, like 06, 07. What's your favorite Wayne tape? I'm a mixtape Wayne nigga. Yeah. But like- No Sillin'?
Starting point is 00:24:19 No Sillin' gotta be my favorite, but I don't really like how Wayne perform now. He be performing all the commercial shit. When he came to Detroit, niggas want to hear all that No Sittling shit, the drought shit, all that. Drought 3. Niggas want to hear all that. I don't think he realized niggas really fancy you. Your mixtape days, like, was crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I think he should have a different playlist for his city. Like, nigga, if you in Salt Lake City. Play lollipop. Yeah, play lollipop, bro. But if you in Detroit, bro, go ahead and run that Swag Surf. For sure. Freestyles. Man.
Starting point is 00:25:02 The like me. I've seen word for word with you. The like me coming back on made me want to spin the draw three again because that was one of the hardest Wayne. The I Can't Feel My Face freestyle is one of the hardest Wayne freestyles. So y'all got Wayne
Starting point is 00:25:14 that's having the greatest mixtape run in rap history. Yeah, yeah. Him and Gucci. Like, I feel like him and Gucci just mixtape kings. Like, you can't even. Yeah. What? Yeah, Gucci got 5,000 mixtape kings. Like, you can't even. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:25 What? Yeah, Gucci got 5,000 mixtapes. Gucci got some classics, though, too. Out of them tapes, too. The movie. Classics out them bitches.
Starting point is 00:25:33 The movie is hard. It's one of them ones. The best mixtape, though, is Trapper Dye. Jeezy is mixtape. The Gacy Girls? Come on, bro. I'm older, though.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Trapper Dye was there. I ain't gonna lie. Jeezy come to Detroit like four times a though. Trapper, though, is there. I ain't going to lie. Jeezy come to Detroit like four times a year. Like, niggas love that. He come about three here. He make a stop. He go, one, two, three, four. Three here.
