When I tell you this guest today, man Belong Belongs in the 90s. Like his music that you hear now is so dope for this era, but I can guarantee you if it came out, it belongs in the Wu-Tang, Mop Deep. Like his soul is from my era. He's one of the best lyricists out there.

When you listen to his albums, I listened to his album, the new album, and it almost felt like a double album because he put so much creativity into it. He's probably one of the only. If you take Nas, you take Snoop, you take a little bit of Cube, little bit of Bismarck-y, and you put them together, this is what you'll get. A guy who cares about his albums. A guy who, you know, in between albums,

I call him Mr. No Rules. Because I don't think he follows any rules. And I think that's the rule. Is not to follow no fucking rules. I believe this man is what we need in hip hop. It's exactly what, you know, so many people say, oh, man, they don't make it like how they used to make it. And then here's this man standing right in front of us making incredible albums. I've never heard a mediocre album from this guy. He is. incredible albums. I've never heard a mediocre album from this guy. Wow.

He is, and he said, he said one time that Nas said he was the best and I'm here to tell you I don't think Nas was gassing you. I think he came

from the heart. Right. Because that's exactly who he is. So in case you don't know who the fuck we talking about, we talking about the one,

the only, motherfucking Schoolboy Gil! That's a lot. You just said a lot. And by the way, we've been trying to get you on here from the beginning. Like I said, I don't think I'm supposed to be up here. Y'all, you had some shit up here.

Nah, nah, nah. You had some shit up here. I'm like, what? Who am I supposed to go out here with? That's you we want to do on Drink Challenge., nah, nah. You got some shit up here. I'm like, what? Hang on, who I'm supposed to go after? That's you. We want you on Drink Challenge.

I ain't going after now. But let me just tell you something. One of my blue slides. Yes, thank you. That shit reminds me of the world is yours.

Yeah. Like, you know what's so dope about you is you remind me of an era that's gone, but you're doing it in this era. Like, I don't think anybody has ever done that. Like, you know what I mean? It's bridging the gap, for sure.

Like, you have an old soul, but everyone fucks with you. But let's talk about Blue Slides. Yeah. I believe that's my favorite. Yeah, that's one of my best written materials ever I've ever written. Easy, easy. Really? Easy.

So how did you come up with this? So I had those lyrics. Like, those lyrics was written a minute ago, like in 2021. Oh, wow. So that's what I do. I just, like, write lyrics. Just write lyrics, write lyrics, and I just find the beat whenever. The lyrics were written, and it just came out that way like um i don't know how i did it wow i just tapped in you

know and um i actually didn't write it down i um just blurted the words out to the mic sometimes i just yell at the wall i like go into the studio eight in the morning And you know Tell Juice to press play And then I just yell at the wall For like 30 minutes Wow 45 minutes And then we'll just Piece it together Everything

Cause I know what I wanna say Right And um Yeah I just yell Just yell at the wall Bro Like

And it comes out Have you ever met John Singleton? No Never met John Singleton No I have met John Singleton Okay I met John Singleton With Snoop one john singleton okay i met john singleton with

snoop one time in in miami get out of here in miami at the club yeah i met john singleton with snoop at the club in miami yeah because that's the first thing i'm like from the intro of the album i felt like john singleton should be filming yeah like like it's like it's literally listening to you is literally like a movie. Yeah. Like, it literally, like, I remember the last time I visually, like, saw, it was me reading Donald Goins, Horse Son, and then I read a book called Dope Fiend. Yeah. And then I listened to Illmatic.

Yeah. And Illmatic brung me in Queensbridge, and I didn't realize music could do the same thing a book could do, because the book brung me in Queensbridge, and I didn't realize music could do the same thing a book could do, because the book brung me there. Now, listen to all your stuff, but listen to the new stuff. I can picture L.A. life. Yeah. Is that something that you do on purpose? No, for sure.

It's like a different twist of L.A., because when you think, I always tell people, they always think of L.A. and the streets of L.A. Like, oh, like, I'm pretty sure somebody here thought I was going to come with, like, 20 crips or something. You know what I'm saying? And I'm just mad, not shaking hands. And, like, you know, that's not really, like, no street, dude, from anywhere. Like, that should just be for the cameras. Like, you from the streets. You from, like, where we come from.

And you know that all we do on the block is joke and laugh all day. And when something happens, then you move accordingly. But, like, I'm bringing the feeling of, like, we're actually normal people. Like, we play golf. We, like, can have a conversation. We're all not, like, idiots. Like, most of us are not idiots. Some of us are just in worse situations. You know, I was blessed to have a conversation. We're all not like idiots, like most of us are not idiots. Some of us are just have, in worse situations.

You know, I was blessed to have a mama that worked hard. I wasn't on welfare, we just happened to grew up in the ghetto. You know, but sports. It's first street, bigger ball, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, but sports and stuff like that kept me a level head, that's why I think all kids should play sports

because you know when to leave and when to stay. And if you there, like you know, you gotta turn up. like that kept me a level head. That's why I think all kids should play sports because, um, you know, when to leave and when to, when to stay. And if you dare, like, you know, you got to turn up,

but if you can get out of there, get out of there, you know, learn, you know, you got to learn things. And sports give you a different type of discipline. Now you,

you was, you and Tiger had a MTV reality show together. No, not really. Tiger, shout out to Tiger. Yeah, it was like some MTV stuff and that shit didn't really work out. I really wasn't like into that type of stuff anyway.

Yeah, what kind of reality show was it? I don't even know. I was just showing up because it was like show up. Oh, y'all actually tried to do one. It was like a pilot or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit never like worked out.

Thank God because that's not something I want. It wasn't you. It was like a pilot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that shit never like worked out. Thank God. Because that's not something I want to. Like, no disrespect to. It wasn't you. It's just not like me. And shout out to Tiger. You know what I mean? He's been holding it down for the city for years.

So shout out to Tiger. But yeah, that's just not my thing. I want to be a rapper. I don't want to like. I'm not looking for like an exit plan either. Like, you know, everybody's like doing things. And then they want to do other things. And it leads them to the. I don't want to like, I'm not looking for like an exit plan either. Like, you know, everybody's like doing things and then they want to do other things

and it leads them to the, I don't have no exit plan. Like, I dropped Blue Lips and I still got 18 more to go. Like, there's no exit plan for me. You're going to rap to your 80. No, for sure.

And you're also in Coconut Juice video, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that like? What was that like? Put us on, put us on. I mean, shit, my boy What was that like? What was that like? Put us on. Put us on. I mean, shit, my boy was trying to get it together.

He was figuring it out, and I was supportive, and I jumped in the video. What are y'all? Y'all went to school together? Nah, I'm older than Tyga. So I knew Tyga when he was like 16. Right. He was just coming out rapping, my homeboy SB and my homeboy Gator.

I went to school with them. And they was messing with him heavy. And I was just getting into music. I really wasn't into music like that, but I was just getting into it. And yeah, I just started trying to rap. And he was like doing this thing. And I was just supporting. And, yeah, I just started trying to rap. And he was, like, doing this thing. And I was just supporting.

Like, you know, the homies brought him around. And he ended up being my homie, becoming my homie. You know what I'm saying? And we just vibed from there. And then, you know, he did the Young Money situation. And I was around that for a little bit. Because he was on Interscope first. No, no, he was on, like, an indie major. I don't know what it was called It was like so he was like something like fallout boy or something here

And um, my boy group. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah when he first came out and then he had the young money situation and um, I was around that and that's that's not my vibe really either. Like a slug, real flashy and shit. I mean, I loved him as an artist, but it just just I was just running behind him almost like Tiger. And I really wasn't into that. And I met T.D. like 2006. And that's that was more me.

And I never left the studio. You know, TDE reminds me to a certain extent because me, me being from the East coast, New York, you know what I mean? Yeah. Um,

we were always taught that, um, you know, the bloods and crips don't get along and they don't, they don't get money together. And then, you know, you get to hear that,

you know, um, top and, um, um, like, more on the blood side, and then you being on the crip side. Has that ever been an uncomfortable situation? This is the first day I pulled up, because I didn't know where I was getting myself into. So Ali is like a...

I mean, but it wasn't like no pressure. My engineer, Ali, yeah, he was bringing me over there. He's like, bro, we got to go fuck with the TD dudes, blah, blah, blah. This is where we should be at, blah, blah, blah. He was trying to figure it out. And then I'm like, all right, cool, let's go. And then as soon as we get to the studio, before we hop out the car, he's like, hey, yo hood, get along with such and such.

I don't know, afterthought. Oh, bro. As you pull it out. As we're there, he's like, yo your hoods, you get along with something? I'm like, bruh. I'm like, we cool. Like, we ain't got nothing. It's like, it's far away. Like, we straight.

And yeah, I went in there. Wasn't nobody on that anyway. Right. You know what I mean? But, you know, you just want to let, give people heads up type shit. Once I got in there, nobody was nobody was like like none of us was on that like you know what i'm saying we've been past that like we actually really from where we from so we all were like trying to hit this goal of like success and yeah well nobody tripping on that top

never tripped over you but i was like oh you a grip you know if anything they loved that more than anything over here like you know what i mean so yeah yeah yeah yeah like it was so um i went the first day and punch was like come back and i kept coming back and next thing you know i'm living there and i'm poor as hell and i'm sleeping on that couch i moved myself in i moved myself in without even telling me i'm living on the top couch without you know i've been I've been there three months. I done lived in that mother, you know what I'm saying? So let me ask you, because,

you know, Queensbridge was the hottest at the moment, right? When I came out, I'm from left back city, I'm from down the way. But when I used to hang out

with Queensbridge people so much, it was overshadowed my hood. Yeah. Right? So I would come back to my hood and I'll be walking around and people would be like, Queensbridge ass nigga.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll turn around and people would close their shutters and I'll be like, oh shit, I could never know who it was. Like, until I got on, like people were kind of mad at me for fucking with another hood, another neighborhood. Yeah. Have you ever been through something like that? Because-

Messing with me for another neighborhood? Nah. I mean, that's a- Yeah, that was- I'm not going for no disrespect. You can say whatever you want to somebody else, but in front of me, you're not about to disrespect me. And nobody never tried me in person. I didn't hear people say things all the time through the grapevine.

Like, oh, such and such said this. And it's like, all right, bro, such and such just saw me last week. Such and such really is a, you know what I mean? Why are you letting such and such say something to you? I think that says more about you. You know what I'm saying? Ain't nobody ever got at my homies in front of me. They know who to play.

People know who to play with. So, I mean, ain't nobody never play with me like that. And I don't want no smoke. But one thing for sure, I'm going to keep saying this. People ain't as disciplined as me. You're not going to win. All right. They're not going to win.

All right. Thank you. God damn it. Yeah, they're not going to win. Salud. Salud, god damn it. Salud, god damn it. Cheers, cheers, cheers.

My first drink in seven days. When you showed up to the studio, to TD, what did you see in them that made you say, I want to stay with this team? It was dark. First off, it was dark as shit. You walked in and it was just dark. Because was J-Rock already out at that point? J-Rock was working. Because J-Rock was signing him first, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then J-Rock was in the booth. And then, no, Soul was in the booth. And J-Rock was sitting out. Yeah, J-Rock was sitting outside. And there was real dark punches in there. Dot wasn't there um and then it was just this this beat just like gunshots shout out to uh curtis king he did this beat um it was just like gunshots and shit and they're like rap on this and i just rapped on it and um yeah that was that was it punch but i forget how did y'all get introduced

So wherever Ali went, I was going to go. He was already engineering for them? No, no, no, no. He was engineering with me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, you got to go to Monaco. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I lied to a couple people and told them I went to Monaco. So somebody's going to see this and be like, that motherfucker told me he went to Monaco. I was trying to end the conversation, motherfucker. I was definitely trying to end the conversation. Monaco is one of the places, like, you know,

I have these travel watches, right? They're the only watches that I bring because if I lose them, I don't really care. You know what I mean? I regretted bringing travel watches to Monaco

because I was the worst. Everyone else had them. Big boy shit. Everybody's rich in Monaco. I felt the poorest I've ever felt in years. So it's great to feel poor again. You know what I mean Damn

Y'all went too far I heard Monica means Like the top Like the The main Don't that mean something though Like Don't it mean something

Like the actual name Monica Yeah like it means Money It sounds like it Yeah it does It does But Schoolboy Q

Let me just tell you something man From the beginning When we started this show We wanted to give you your flowers. Face to face, man to man. You are one of the greats. You know, we don't want anything to happen to you. And then we tell you you're great. We want to say that while you're alive.

Thank you, bro. Give you your flowers. You too, bro. Right there. Yeah. Snoop Dogg said it's like a Grammy because it comes from his people. God damn it. You know what I'm saying

I'm saying it for real The motherfuckers don't show love bro Here you go You know what's So unique about you Is every time someone Asks you about LA Yeah

You always giving up game You always saying You gotta watch out for this artist You gotta watch out for this artist You always naming people You always Showing love to people How did you develop that?

How does that I mean once again Sports I mean And you know You gotta show love to your teammates Right You gotta show love to people

And if you ain't Good enough to hang Like And if you scared Somebody gonna take your position It was never yours In the first place Looking at them fall It was never his I said that on the last album too Like take your position It was never yours In the first place Looking at him fall It was never his

I said that on the last album too Like if you fall It was never yours In the first place If you let somebody Knock you out your position Like you never had that position Right

You know what I'm saying Once again It goes all back down to discipline Motherfuckers ain't got no discipline bro So motherfucker See somebody gassing Going up And just hate for no reason

Right It's like for what Like he going up, and just hate for no reason. Right. It's like, for what? Like, he going up. Right. Oh, because he ain't do as many units as you. It's like, bro, okay, and I put my units next to fucking Jay-Z. I don't even fucking exist. So, it's like, what are we measuring things?

They're not relevant at that point. With motherfuckers, it's hard. Like, he hard. Like, he hard. Like, just let it be. Right. You know what I'm saying? So, like. Right. At some point,, just if it's yours, it's yours.

And you ain't got to worry about shit. Show love. Right. Straight up. Another thing about you is you have some of the dopest features in the game. I do. I done watched a lot of cats. I watched a lot of cats.

I'm about to go on another washing machine. I've been chilling for five years just watching and observing and, like, trying to change my life and body and shit, you know what I'm saying, get my body to the right point where I want to be. But I'm ready to play ball and just keep playing ball right now because I think they're making it real easy for people like me. I think a lot of people are bad. Though I think a lot of people are good,

but a lot of people are scared. I can hear it. What, to get on a record with you, you saying? No, no, just music, musically, period. A lot of people are scared to try anything. But I get it though, you know, at the same time, business is business. Right.

And, you know, but at some point, if you ain't got what you're going to get out of this shit, and you've been in this game, like, X amount of years, you probably won't get it. That's right. You know what I'm saying? Because that's what's unique about this album. Yeah. It's like you just said a lot of people are scared. It seemed like you wasn't scared at all.

No, no. Like, you were taking risks. Like each song sounds like it's two songs in one. Totally different. You know what I'm saying? The flows are different. All the flows are different. Nothing sounds the same.

Like, what the fuck? That was the whole thing. Like, how do I see music right now? Okay, so everything is 30 second clips, right? Uh-huh. Motherfuckers can't even pay attention to three verses anymore. Right, right. Motherfuckers is doing even pay attention to a four three verses anymore right motherfuckers is doing one verse is it but it's like all right how do i make this album

in this time and still be me it's like oh i see things in the way they see it fucking 40 seconds 50 seconds if i can't get what do i want how can i get off something in 30 seconds you know i'm saying 30 seconds at a time how can i say as much as i want in 30 seconds if I can't get, what do I want? How can I get off something in 30 seconds? You know what I'm saying? 30 seconds at a time. How can I say as much as I want in 30 seconds? If I can't say as much as I want in 30 seconds, then I probably shouldn't be doing this. This part of the beat or shouldn't be rapping or coming with this concept. You know what I mean?

So it was just like, what can I say in X amount of time? And from there, how you say we just built the beats we just built it the beats all but the lyrics pretty much came first on this album because i know the beats changing up too that 30 second now makes sense like yeah yeah it's like you know um and and still just like shit i want to do it like this like shit like why not like uh my blank face album i did the same thing like you know um i think like i said just rap is just so kind of like um and uh it's so many of rappers now and it's still a hell of good rappers but it's just so many now

me doing beat switches it's like mad people doing beat switches you know what i'm saying but um and i've been doing it but, but with the game it is now, my shit is standing out a little bit more with it because of just the no risk taking of artists. They find their pocket and they stay in that pocket. And like I said, that's cool if you're in it for the business, but everybody I know is a fucking millionaire so at this point so it's like what the fuck are we doing now like we just like making it worse for the younger kids i think

um i think artists are scared to act their age yeah um and it's weird to me like i'm 37 bro i'm not like scared to act 37 like i'm still lit like i can still do all this shit i can still outrun you i can still out do i'll wrap you whatever you want to talk about i'm still way more fuddier than you bro i dress better like i look better i'm getting younger every year like what you motherfuckers is on dope like you know what i'm saying like so like i'm not i'm not scared to have to live my age like you know what i'm saying? And I think a lot of artists are doing that, and they're doing the younger generation a disservice. Yep.

Because they're not leading, they're not being examples. No, no, no, no. OG's acting like YG's like... It's the weirdest shit to me. That's another reason why I didn't even do press before this album, because it's just like I don't fit with those dudes in the media. I don't even fuck with it. They're just too negative for me, and it's like y'all too old for all that.

Y'all got to watch what y'all say. Y'all going to really get hurt playing with people, bro. Motherfuckers is putting their life in their music. You can dislike my music, but don't disrespect me, though, because I put my life in my shit. You know what I mean? So when you disrespect me or disrespect a rapper, that's how I feel like you're going to get at me eventually. You know what I mean? Right. So when you disrespect me or disrespect the rapper, that's how I feel like

you're going to get at me eventually. You know what I'm saying? I got camaraderie still with rappers, even though, you know, rappers don't have camaraderie, but I do. So if I see somebody

say some crazy, crazy shit about a rapper, I ain't fucking with you. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like I said, you can dislike it. Yeah, you can have an opinion. No problem.

Yeah, nobody tripping on that, but the way you... Motherfuckers be really disrespectful. They be doing personal shit. Yeah, yeah,pping on that. But the way you motherfuckers are really disrespectful. They be doing personal shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I ain't with it. And everything is relationship-based, too. It's like, that's not how it's supposed to be, either.

Right. So I'm just not with none of it. I just want to go all gas and just keep gassing. I'm going to keep gassing, gassing, gassing. And they're going to come in circles, and I'm going to keep gassing their ass. And like I said, I got 18 more to go. So I'm going to keep gassing and they gonna come they gonna come in the circles and I'm gonna keep gas in their ass and I got like I said I got 18 more to go so I'm gonna keep gas in their ass let's talk about jack-in-the-box on Vernon and Figaro oh man that's man you going crazy

that's that jack-in Jack in the Crack still there oh yeah it's there it's there Vernon man I ignore you man let's move on from that one let's move on from that one let's move on from that one

He was transitioning his music from white-sounding poppy, and he was going more towards rap. He had so much soul, but he just came in the game the way he came in, and he came in. And he was, like, transitioning. Right. And I watched him do it.

And it was just like, whew, this dude is crazy. And I just wanted, you know, stick around and be his homie. I was just happy to be his homie. That was my dog. That was, like, really my dog. Right. Like, you know, sad situation. But he's living forever, though.

Right. He's living forever. He's living forever. Want to have a moment of silence for him? No. No? Let's make some noise for him? Yeah.

Because you needed the grades to play. Yeah, yeah, good grades and, like, you know, always squabbling and, like, not really, like, you know, from that cloth. So they, like, would call me schoolboy.

If you born in, you know what I'm saying, from the 80s to the 90s, you call that shit South Central. I'm going to be honest. I know this is going to sound a little crazy.

What up? But I've always been proud of L.A. because of how y'all riot. I know. We turn out when it's time to go out. You're the best rioters in the world. Yeah, yeah. When it's time to go out. Motherfuckers is going to go out.

That's one thing for sure about L.A. Motherfuckers going to go up. Motherfuckers is going to go up. That's one thing for sure about LA. Motherfuckers going to go up. Right, right. Motherfuckers going, like, as divided as we are, once we come together, it's scary. Like, even seeing, I remember watching the riots as a little, little, little kid, like, and just seeing it on the corner, like, just seeing all that shit. Like, it was the craziest shit ever. Like, I never seen so many black people together.

They were just doing dumb shit though. Right. But, I mean, it was just still like, okay, this is, you know,

I wasn't thinking then, but now that I look, it's like, okay, it is a chance. Right. Like, the Alabama fight.

The black dude got robbed, bro, by the Mexican cat or the Mexican dude got robbed by the black cat because guess what motherfuckers get robbed over here because we don't have no fucking jobs we don't have no opportunity and you had something that i wanted and i could have gave me a little boost right quick so i did it like that's the reality of it but they make it like it's some race shit when

it's like bro like everything ain't filmed also, too. And black people commit more crimes on black people and Mexicans commit more crimes on Mexicans. And whites commit more crimes on whites. It's like, you know, but they try to sow any little thing they can do to divide us. Yeah, you got to. Like, oh, look, see. Who benefits off of that?

I mean, it's the truth. I'm not even joking. It's the truth. And it's the last one after you take this shot. It's the last one. Let me get back to the interview. Loyalty or... No, no, no, no, no.

Okay, all right. Leave it, leave it. Okay, loyalty or respect? Loyalty. Because I can ignore somebody that don't respect me. Once again. And go back to the, you know, the fear thing. Oh, you don't respect me?

Then it's the purpose of me trying to, like, what am I gaining, like, out of trying to, like, prove something to you? You don't even fuck with me. It's like, you run it into the fire. You just kick it. Use the fire extinguisher. Just like,

the cooties, they're coming to get me running and you get the fuck out of there. You know what I'm saying? You don't respect me. Whatever. Loyalty is, like I said once again,

motherfucker may be mad at you, but you're going to stay down. I say mixed noises. Yeah. Now, one thing about you that I know we spoke about it a little bit earlier, we touched on it, was I remember a time

after Nas made Illmatic, he made, I believe I Am after that, right? It was written. It was written. It was written. No, no, no. It was written and I was written. It was written. Don't do that. It was written. No, no, no. Between It Was Written

and I forget what other album, I used to hang with Nas all the time. Yeah. And we used to walk around and people used to be like, when the fuck, when's the next album?

Because, you know, people didn't have Twitter. That was their Twitter back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they would yell at him. They would yell at him and I'd be looking like, yo.

Like, we thought it was just like Queens people. And, we thought it was just, like, Queens people. And not for nothing, Nas went and let no one rush his process. Yeah. To me, the only artist like that in this generation, period, is you. Kendrick. Kendrick as well. It feels like it's a TDE thing.

I mean, yeah, we got a problem, and they blame it, always blame it on Top. And I'm going to be honest, it's not Top fault. It's y'all being over-creative. It's the artist. I wouldn't blame it on Top. Bro, listen, bro, what do Top gains from telling Kendrick Lamar he can't drop albums?

Nah, he don't gain nothing. It's fucking Kendrick Lamar. What does Top gain from telling SZA he can't drop an album? No, he don't get nothing. It's fucking Kendrick Lamar. What does Top gain from telling SZA she can't drop an album? Black hippie dropping an album. Yeah, like what does he gain from it? You know, if anything,

he should be throwing us under the bus. You know what I mean? But, you know, I'm here to take some flack off Top and he never not told us, you know, I'm here to take some flack off top. And he never told us, you know, has he ever said, maybe you need another record? Of course. Like, he's a fucking, yeah.

Like, my engineer tells me that, too. Kendrick sometimes tells me that, too. Like, J-Rock tells me that, too. You know, like, my producer tells me that, too. So, yeah, sometimes he may say, yeah, you need another record. Right. But I mean, like,

like saying like, oh, you can't drop this year at all. Don't even think about it. It's like insane. And me being like in my 30s and allowing that it would be even way more crazy.

Right. Like, like all, everything about it is out of pocket. But, I don't, I don't suggest

artists take five years off right um unless you gotta let me just say that you good no let me just say there's people that's good they don't have a cult fan base that's i'll be honest with you yeah if you don't have that yeah you can't do you motherfuckers got cult fan base i enjoy so much yeah this morning waking up and saying look this is how i'm training for Schoolboy Q. And all your fans was in my DMs. Yo, nigga, tell him this.

Yo, tell him why he never went to Phineas. I was like, oh, shit. And you have like an alternative fan base. A lot of white people. I'm not going to lie to you. No, for sure. For sure. A lot of white people hit me up.

Yeah, no, for sure. I was like, OK. And then a lot of gang members as well. I respected them too. You know what I mean? But I definitely got a lot of white fans. I mean, I came out like with Pop Records. He gave you the total opposite.

Yeah, it really is. Like, I'm really sorry for myself. It's like, holy shit, man, white people. Hold up, hold up. I mean, my hacks hacksaw Jim Duggan You know what I mean And then Then a lot of

Yeah Hoover Gang Oh shit Yeah yeah yeah Nah I got a lot of white fans Cause I came out I came out hot Is that how your shows is?

White people I mean that's how most shows are Black people can't afford No fucking tickets With bandanas covering they shit Nah Hell nah Nah nah My You know I got the nice white folks And shit You know like Black people can't afford no fucking tickets. With bandanas covering their shit. Nah, hell nah. Nah, nah.

You know, I got the nice white folks and shit. You know, like. I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the gang members. Nah, nah, nah. Gang bangers, they go to the club. They ain't coming to no damn Schoolboy Q show. You know what I mean?

Nah, the gang bangers don't really come to my show. Really? Nah, I don't really make gang bang music, to be real. Like, you got to be in the artsy side of it. Like, an artist, you can respect it and you can hear it. But the average street dude, I'm more so on the weirdo side of the gangbanging music. I beg your pardon, sir? I mean, yeah, you're an artist.

But I'm just being realistic. It's just what it is. Like, you know, you think of Nipsey, you think of YG, you think of, you artist but I'm just being realistic it's just what it is like you know you think of Nipsey you think of YG you think of you know what I'm saying like those people and like

I always say Vince cause I always gotta give Vince Staples his flowers too every time because we're like the only two we're like

the outsiders of like that you know that was the first time me coming to LA as many years as I've gone to LA was I went to a Nipsey Hussle show one time and that was the first time I seen Mexicans as many years as I've gone to LA was I went to a Nipsey

Hussle show one time. Yeah, yeah. And that was the first time I seen Mexicans. Like you said, Mexicans and blacks been together like that for a while, but I had never seen it. Because it happened before. I had never seen it. I'm not saying it didn't exist.

I had never seen it. I went to a Nipsey show. I seen Bloods, Crips. Yeah. All different types of people. Everybody loved Nip. And they was together. Is there any reason why you and Nip never really like? Oh, man.

That's one of my biggest regrets, not doing a song. Not doing a song. I mean, I mean, to sit there and say that is kind of like irrelevant. Right. Because nobody's going to say nothing if it happened. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, it was presented before. And I think my timing was a little off. And we didn't do the record.

And that's one of my biggest regrets. That is my biggest regret of my rap career is that, not having a song with Nipsey. Right. And he reached out to Karen Civil. Karen Civil. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big up Karen Civil. I mean, but me and him, we'd be always cool and always would talk.

But we just never put nothing on wax. Right. Would I say politics? Maybe, but not really. No. It just hadn't happened. It just didn't happen. Right.

Yeah. And like I said, I'm like a, I'm like a artsy motherfucker. So I'll be like, like I'll literally just, I'll keep saying this, like, I'll literally ghost everybody and, like, just, like, put my phone away. Like, literally get rid of it and, like, just You're on your own time. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. So I think that was around the time where I was on that and I was just, you know, because I give so much and I tour a lot at the time. I was touring a lot and I was doing a lot of shit. And, yeah, I had to get back, right? You had young kids, too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, you know, I got kids. He got kids. And our timing just didn't match up. A lot. But, yeah, he had sent me. He got a song with Mozzy. It's called Ain't Hard Enough. He sent it to me.

Yeah. Yeah, bro. I wish I was on Mozzy. It's called Ain't Hard Enough. He sent it to me. Yeah, bro. I wish I was on that joint because I love that song, too. It ain't hard enough. Your knuckles ain't scarred enough. Y'all ain't need foreign cars or nothing. He was hard on there. I'm hot.

Like, all right, well, shit, I'm going to make a group. So you can't leave. Yeah, yeah. Kick me out. Kick me out. Then I can go bust a move and I can just make a group. So you can't leave. Yeah, yeah. Kick me out. Kick me out. Then I can go bust a move, and I can just do a verse. And then, yeah, boom, Black Hippie, the name.

And then, you know, that verse, me having to do the verse, just, you know. I just, you know, once again, that sports side of me kicked in, the discipline. And, you know, once that other shit dried up, I wasn't making no more money on that shit. That shit was like, I wasn't no real, I'm the most cap drug dealer ever. You know what I'm saying? That shit dried up. And it's like, now I got to compete. And he in there cracking every day.

He cracking every day. That was cracking. J-Rock cracking, Soul cracking. They cracking every day. On one mic, we was just waiting in line every day. I was cracking. J-Rock cracking. Soul cracking. They cracking every day. On one mic, we was just waiting in line every day. Just, you know, as soon as it free up, all right, my turn. You know, you just got to get your shit off. And then I just started cracking, cracking.

And next thing you know, I'm on Drink Champs. I just never stopped cracking. Never stopped cracking. Never. Like I said said I got dropped blue lips and I got 18 more to go

so I'm gonna keep cracking I'm not gonna lie to you again blue slides my favorite cause it

remind me of whose world is this without reminding me of whose world is this like I'm jogging world is this like i'm i'm jogging to it this morning and i'm like this motherfucker too young to know yeah the feeling like i said in the intro of it i listen to your music it almost feels like you belong in the 90s yeah it almost feels like

you did time travel and you you you came out i don't want to say the wrong era but like a different era like damn just tell me i'm outdated so many people of this generation are not lyrical bass are not like yeah like you made an album and creative you made an album thank you people make singles

yeah for sure they make a single a b-side not even a b-side excuse me I went mad I was cool damn I just showed my age

I just showed my age my fault my fault they make they make a single and then the next single chill stop stop alright they make you made a whole album

Like We jogged your whole shit Thank you Like Thank you It's a body of work Like what Why

Why would you do that When you can just make Two fucking dope singles Like everyone else Why Why do you want to Break them all I did it like

So many times And nobody ever told me Fucking congratulations I'm like God damn On the album Bruh Why you want to break the mold? I did it like so many times and nobody ever told me fucking congratulations. I'm like, God damn. On the album? Bruh, nobody never fucking told me.

The fucking generation. We're telling you congratulations. Here, at your chance. Yes. Nigga, you're on all your albums. I can't say it the opposite way.

I can't say it the opposite way. So, I was always chasing these hits, right? And doing hits and shit. That part? always chasing these hits, right? And doing hits and shit. And it was always dope, right? But like, every time something go platinum, they never be like, congrats. This shit go platinum.

I be having to ask for my plaques and shit. I'm like, man, fuck this shit. I'm making this shit right now. I want to make this. I told everybody, too. Like, bro, I'm making an art project. Step back, please. I told everybody, just step back and let me cook for this project.

They let me cook, and I made my best work. It's going to live forever. It's going to live forever. It's going to inspire to to actually make a project right you know because people are now you know it's the streaming and fucked it up it's like eight versions and shit yeah you got the sped up the acapella you got all this shit it's like golly like what the fuck you got here you know i mean like where do I start the album at? Like, I don't even get it. Like, you know, they just trying to run up to it because the streaming shit is so fucked up.

It's just, you know, they're just running up the streams now. So people aren't really focused on making albums. And, like, you know, this thing with James Blake was saying, people don't buy albums either. You know what I'm saying? So when you don't buy albums, people are just going to play the game because artists are like, well, y'all ain't buying it. I'm just going to play the game then. All right. You know?

And rightfully so. I ain't mad at them. You know what I mean? But me personally, I came at a different time. And I'm blessed to be schoolboy Q. So I'll always be able to generate some chili. I put myself in that position, but I don't see the younger artists being able to do that with the way they do things because they're not really making a body of work.

It's more so streaming. They're making some chili, though. How long will it last? Exactly. It's like, is that chili going? streaming they're making some chili though but i mean that's how long will it last exactly it's like um is that chili gone because you're feeding your your true fan base and grow with them at the same time yeah but when you just recycling you know people for like a couple songs they don't you see it all the time they don't really transfer to shows like people can't even tour it's like how these dudes like sell so many records And you can't even like

Fucking do I'd be in like Germany and shit And I'd be And then I'd be in New York Yeah I'd be I'd be everywhere

Like you know what I'm saying Australia wherever And it's like I don't be seeing none of these cats And I'd be like I don't get it Like it's not making sense They can't

They can't go out there They don't have that Yeah But also like I said If They don't have that. Yeah, but also, like I said, if something don't change, I think James Blake is right. We got to figure something out to get, because we need the younger

generation to start making albums again and caring about the artwork. I'm not saying not to make a hit. I'm not sitting here saying that. If you're a young artist, you definitely need to make a hit i'm not sitting here saying that like you definitely if you're a young artist you definitely need to make a hit now don't try to come in on some blue lip shit like now come here you know what i'm saying but at the same time like you can still make an album with a hit like you know what i mean it's been done since the beginning of time like you

know but you know people just focus on those records, and so they'll put 10 of those same kind of records on there, because one of them, all you need is two of them to catch, and those two songs will carry the album to the older platinum. So it killed the album, kind of. But if we don't start purchasing albums, unfortunately, that's going to be the continued result. And me, it doesn't affect me because I can get my chili. I'm talking about for the young generation.

It ain't about me. Like, oh, buy my album. Hey, you don't buy it or don't, but I'm just saying the younger generation is going to suffer because it's just going to keep recycling new artists because somebody else is going to come with another joint, too. And another joint, another joint is going to catch on TikTok and then, you know, it is what it is. But they become, they're disposable at that point. Yeah, exactly. disposable at that point yeah exactly and one thing i wanted to bring up going back to alchemist is that his his model of making music and then making the the merch and then he'll sell it at a at a high rate yeah so that he could make the music he wants to make and that's what happens when you have a real fan base yeah versus a streaming fan base yeah it's it's different

fan base that's what i'm saying and it's not it. I think it's a disservice that we're doing. The older generation, like my generation, we can do something. The 90s, our generation fucked it up first. Yeah, yeah. And we just constantly keep fucking it up. You know what I'm saying? But at some point, we got to learn. You know what I'm saying?

We got to learn. They kept fucking it up. And yeah, we got to learn. You know what I'm saying? We got to learn. They kept fucking it up. And yeah, we got to help these younger cats a little bit. And we got to fix it a little bit. Because the biggest artists in the world are still in their 30s. You know what I'm saying? Are the older cats. They're the biggest artists.

You can name them. They're all in their 30s. So I think, yeah, everybody needs to figure something out for the younger artists. Like I said, we're fine. We can always get some chili. These other dudes are not going to have what we have. And so we got to like figure something out. I don't know what it is, but somebody got to be figuring it out. The difficult part is making a younger generation of musicians and creatives understand that making something dope is more important than just flossing that you're doing well.

But they, yeah, but that too. But they need some guidance and they just need a little bit of, they need to know that it works too, though. But you know, dangling the cheese or the carrot in front of the person that's what's every time has fucked shit up these dudes are still good writers though they're dope it's almost like they don't want to be like they do it on purpose sometimes you can see the creativity game they playing the game rightfully so because like they they coming from no chili you know what i'm saying it's easy for me to say like oh dude you know the art and album shit but that's just how they have to get on it right you know what i'm saying It's easy for me to say Like oh Do the You know the art and album shit But That's just how

They have to get on Right You know what I'm saying Like we didn't have to get on Like that So they have to get on Playing the game So

They come in a certain way It's like You know what I mean And it's And it's a little disservice We're doing a disservice in that Would you say Like a team like

TDE Makes a big difference And where a lot of these artists don't have teams like that uh yeah and no but i think the team thing is kind of dead too you have to like stand as an individual right more so than anything because like people are just scrolling i mean you we all scrolled a hundred times, million times before we even got here. So you have to be able to stand as an individual. The team thing is dope, but that's kind of selling too.

You have to be an individual. So saying that you got all these projects ahead of you, what's your, I mean, obviously you might not want to give it all up, but if you're giving up your, like, if you're giving up to the younger generation, some game, what's your plan? Cause you said this is your only thing. Yeah, this is it. What does that plan look like in these next four or five albums moving forward? Just pushing myself still. How often do you drop these albums? What's around these projects? Man, that's the thing.

I hope I don't take another five years. You know what I'm saying? Fuck, I do not want to take another five years. But I'm going to be honest, I can't afford another fucking five years. I can't afford another five years. Like I said, I can always make some chili, but mentally, no, I can't afford another five years. Like I said, I can always make some chili, but mentally, I can't afford another five years. So that was the last time of your five-year hiatus.

Yeah, I don't think I could ever do that again. Will it be your last album to this album? Yeah, yeah. Because I'm asking, what is the next? What's it for?

Yeah, it would be five years in one month type shit. So I just call it five, round it off five. If we was talking about some money, I would have rounded it off to five. You know what I mean? If I got 4.7,

I got five million out there. You know what I mean? But, yeah, hopefully, hopefully, you know, I'm still working right now.

So hopefully, I find a pocket and I get it, I get it going. But, yeah, other than that, I find a pocket and I get it going. But, yeah. Other than that, I just hope the younger generation

just get some help. And, shit, we got to help them somehow, some way. I don't know. I don't know.

Who's the best rapper, golfer? Me. Me. Take a shot for that? I'll take a shot for it, yeah, yeah. But I'm definitely better than everybody.

You're the best rapper, golfer. Yeah, better than everybody. How about DJ Khaled? He's not a rapper, though. Yeah, I'm way better than DJ Khaled. How about Ja Rule? Way better than Ja Rule. Okay, here's the big one.

Scarface is the only good one. Scarface. Scarface is the only good one. Scarface. Scarface is the only good one. I haven't played with Scarface, but I've seen his swing. It's pretty good. But I don't know his handicap. But I think I'm better than everybody, though. How did you get put on to motherfucking golf?

My boy, June. Yeah. he um he got me um he bet me in the studio 10 grand that I would make a birdie in two years and I was like I can do anything what the fuck is a birdie say it's a par 4

what the fuck is a par 4 you have 4 shots don't tell our audience they're stupid you have 4 shots to get a don't talk to our audience like they're stupid. Because they pretty much know. You have four shots to get a par. It's called a par four. Four shots to get a par. So if you make it in the hole before four shots on your third shot,

that's called a birdie and you get a negative point. So the game goes by the lowest amount of points. You get what I'm saying? That's why I ain't playing golf. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's too much mathematics. It's not really. It's just hit the ball, get faded, and go.

There ain't nobody tripping on all that shit. Yeah, yeah. I mean, bro, they all trash. Have you not seen these dudes play? They're all trash. You can definitely go out there and play and enjoy yourself. But Khaled look good out there Khaled shout out to Khaled He got better

He got better I see it He working He working But he's definitely trash He's definitely awful He's awful Not awful come on No he's definitely awful he's awful whoa not awful

come on no he's awful I've seen him no I've seen Colin like he be sweating now no he's a good dude

he's a good dude man I'm proud of him he be like down the middle I be like I'm proud of him because he really did it like really playing

okay like you know what I'm saying? Like, a lot of people, you know. So you really playing? Hopefully, I hope he gets rid of the, like, the rich side of it. Like, I don't like that narrative that we kind of push. What, that golf is rich? Like, yeah, you have to be, like, rich to play golf.

That's not true. That's not true? No. No. Yeah, okay. So that'd be my riff with a lot of hip-hop and golf right now.

Because now that it's coming into this world, they're making it seem like, oh yeah, some rich shit. Yeah, rich people play it, but it's like poor people should be able to play this shit too. Oh, really? You know what I'm saying? And they're like, they might be really, really fucking good.

You know, black people be pretty good at every fucking sport. Right. If we start playing golf, maybe at five. Right. We might have some, you know. Tiger Woods told us that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But, you know, that's my whole thing.

Like, I want more people to, like, push it more so as, like, you know That's my whole thing Like I want more people To like Push it more so As like you know Like it's more A mental thing It's fun It's like You think right now People are pushing it

Golf But they're pushing it As a rich Yeah like Like in a hip hop That's the way it's always seen In the hip hop world Yeah yeah

But even outside of hip hop I've seen that way Victor Cruz Yeah yeah I mean yeah It's like some rich shit For, it's like some rich shit. For sure. It's like some rich shit.

Like business networking game. But what I'm saying is, it's a lot of people that are not rich that play golf. They drink beer. Yeah, yeah. And just chill and just play at public courses. Yeah. And they like, you know what I'm saying? Like, they're way, you know what I'm saying?

It's more of them than it is people at the country club. Right. You know what I'm saying? That's more regular folks more of them than it is people at the country club. Right. You know what I'm saying? That's more regular folks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the narrative of it, and it's like, you know, I don't like it because they be putting like this retirement on it too. Like, oh, you going golf, you doing your way to retirement.

It's a wrap for you. And it's not even that. It's like, bro, I'm just going for a couple hours and I'm back getting to it. Like, what's the difference of me going to the club? What's the difference of me playing basketball? How long have you been playing golf? Six years Six years

Yeah And, you know, I go on and off But right now I'm trash Right now, because I've been working on the music But You got to keep at it like that to stay. No, for sure. That's what I'm saying.

Like, bro, everybody's ass. Like, just play. Like, you don't worry about it. Like, don't worry about not being able to. Yeah, like, bro, like, everybody's ass. Like, everybody's ass. I'm ass. And I'm really good.

And I'm ass. So, like, you know what I mean? Like, don't even worry about it. Just play. Like, I'm telling you, that shit fun and it's cool. Like, you out there smoking.

Was it that far back? I forgot how he, yeah, he reached out to me. I forgot through, I think two days. Because Kendrick and Top and Punch did not know about him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. You didn't know about him. No, no, yeah. I didn't know shit about him. Okay. But they were saying he was bumping my shit all the time and I was a new artist. He's like, man, no. You didn't know about him. They knew. No, no, yeah. I didn't know shit about him. Okay. But they were saying he was bumping my shit all the time, and I was a new artist.

He's like, man, you my favorite, blah, blah, blah, this, that. And I'm like, oh, okay, blah, blah, blah. I didn't hear shit. So anyway, he dropped like pesos or something. Right. Yeah, yeah, that's... And I'm like, oh, this dude hard. Hang on.

And I'm in New York, like, right after pesos pretty much dropped. Totally pulled up on you. Yeah, and he's like, yo, I'm trying to fuck with you. And he pulled up. Him and Yams.

Yep, him and Yams. They pulled up. And, um, Saul was with me. We big, we big drugged out.

Saul in the other room faded. Which one of your homies was asleep? Uh, Saul, Ab Saul. It was Saul? Yeah,

yeah, he was in that i he was using i was dubbed up too but you know what i'm saying if they come in he played a beat he like got an idea brand new whip brand new ride and he's just like he's like mumbling my ear or whatever and i was like oh yeah and i just cracked but Like I said, cracked, bing, went stupid. And he like, let's go back and forth. Cracked,

bing, went stupid. And then, yeah, I went to go to the bathroom and Saul was on the couch asleep. And then he just like, he just stuck his hand out. Like,

you've been crazy. And he like, oh my God, you so stupid. He like, you are ridiculous. So, and then,

yeah, that was that. And we've been like brothers ever since. Let's take a shot for the are ridiculous. Something, and then yeah, that was that. And we've been like brothers ever since. Let's take a shot for the brotherhood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yo.

That little king of a brother. That's my brother. Cheers. I'm going to tell you something. As an elder statesman, I don't want to call myself an OG because I am not. But as an elder statesman,

the TDE asap crew made us proud because y'all kind of started together we're kind of like still like together like yeah we are still cool yeah that shit is dope like you know what i mean because in my time, our time, like, it was like enemies. Yeah. And it was stupid because when you go to a L.A. hood, it's the same fucking hood as New York. Yeah. Just people got different type of, you know, gestures and cultures and accents.

But it's the same fucking people. It's the same rules of play. Same fucking thing. Yeah. But y'all showed us the difference. Yeah. And y'all younger than us, but y'all showing that camar...

How do you say it? Camaraderie. There you go. There you go. Y'all showing us that, I had to look back and say, damn, I wish we would've participated in that. You know what I mean?

Yeah, we... No, our whole generation, though, there was really no real beefs from our generation. Right. If you notice, like, we all got along. Like, all of us. From YG, Nipsey, to A$AP, to everybody that came out. Joey Badass, everybody that was, like, coming out.

Like, y'all were unified in the culture. Yeah, like, all of us were, like, super cool and all supported each other. Like I said, if you let somebody take your spot, it was never yours in the first place. I feel like all of us was, like, secure. And y'all were wrapping your ass up. We all had our own lanes. Yeah, we all had our own bags. Like, we wasn't even tripping.

Like, you know what I'm saying? So we always supported each other, all of us. I mean, that's why I said earlier like y'all like the only crews like that didn't sound like each other yeah like like you mean tde as a crew tde um you know asap as well like um in our generation it was dope like my favorite rapper is granddad at you listen to my my shit you can't hear granddad at you and my shit at all it's like i want to be exact opposite of what I... And I felt like that's what you guys was doing.

You guys were being so unique. That's why I said Andre 3000 in your intro is because it's so different from what you guys... It's like I'm so influenced, I want to show you something different. Yeah, yeah. I'm definitely influenced by our cast all day. Like Goody Mob.

Oh, man. You know what I'm saying? Dungeon Family, the whole crew. Yeah, like Snoop, Mobb Deep, Ewan Capone, Pharrell, Wu-Tang. Like, bro, I can name Nas, literally my favorite rapper. Like, bro, you know what I'm saying? Like, I can name all day Corrupt. You know what I'm saying? Like, Corrupt was so hard. True. One of the illest. That's my brother.

Corrupt is one of the illest. But do you consider handling on the wheel on one of your first hits? Yeah, it was. It was. And that was the first record y'all did together?

No, brand new guy. And then we did hands on the wheel. Like, I hit even one. Like, oh, I got this joint. I'm like, I got the radio joint. That's when it was like kind of like trying to get

on the radio and shit. I'm like, I got a radio joint. Sent it to him. But then my boy, he sent it back. And we're just, you know,

bing, another one. We got another one. Oh, so this one, y'all didn't make in the studio together? Nah, we didn't make this one in it.

No, actually, no, yo, I sent it to him and he showed, no, he paid him to LA and pulled up to Hector, homie Hector's studio and we, yeah,

and we did it, yeah. Yeah. You know what's another story I love? What? Is I only got invited to the Grammys once. Ah, the Grammys.

You know what I mean? But, all right, so you was number 84 playing football with Andrew Harris and Sam. Yeah. These guys went on to the NFL? I don't think so. They made it like college, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah yeah yeah They did some Shout out to them

Honestly bro I was still game banging when I was playing football I was just showing up to practice I didn't even know who was on the fucking team I know like maybe three people on that team I remember a few people I remember a few Roundt I remember a few. I remember Roundtree. Roundtree, where you at, man?

Roundtree. Farm dog. Roundtree. He was a good... He was a good... He was a good linebacker, dude. My homeboy Floyd played on the team. I do remember Sam

Rogers. Ryan Henry. What school was this? West LA. Yeah, that's pretty much all I remember. I'm pretty sure, I know faces for sure, but names, not so much. I was like, yeah. But I was wild.

I used to have my round tree of vouchers for this, but y'all never probably fucking meet them. But I used to have my burner on the side. I was extra'd out. I used to have my burner on the side of the practice. Before practice? Bro, it was so stupid. Who wants to play with you?

It was a dude. It was a dude. Like, if I hit you too hard, we squabble? No, it was so stupid. Who wants to play with you? It was a dude. It was a dude. Like, if I hit you too hard, we squabble? No, it was a dude. It was a dude that I didn't really see eye to eye with. But we was on the same team and I just didn't trust him.

It was just stupid, though. Yeah, people with your own team members? Yeah, but it was stupid, bro. You was a kid, man. It was dumb, bro. It was just like, that's not even a flex, really, but it's just hilarious.

A hilarious story, like having my gun on the sideline. Like, I'm going to run to the gun. That's teenager shit, man. It's just dumb ass shit, you know what I'm saying? You was a Ray Lewis shit earlier. Like, stupid. It's just dumb. Which sports you like?

Come on. Hey, relax, man. You shit. And take off your glasses before you ask questions. Let's talk about floating with 21 Savage. Yeah. How did that come about? That was me just like, you know, like you said earlier,

you can just make the hits and do the rest. And I was just like, all right, let's make a hit right quick. And I just, shit was easy. Like, for me, though. It should be easy. Yeah, like, shit like. Same studio? Nah, I sent it to him.

I pulled up on him and then just gave him the record. he's like yeah i'm gonna do it and that was it we don't really got like no relationship just like the shit easy bro to be honest like making them type of records that shit easy so i can do like 20 of them shits in a night. Like, easy. Let me ask you, because I asked Nas, you know, a person that everyone loves. I said, Nas, has there ever been anyone who's ever fronted on you

on a feature? And he said, no. And then he said, stop. He said, yes. You know what, Nori? There is somebody that fronted on me. And he said, it's Prince.

Prince. Prince fronted on him. And I'll tell you why later if you don't remember. But is there anyone, because, like I said, you's Prince. Prince. Prince running on them. And I'll tell you why later if you don't remember. But is there anyone, because like I said, you have some of the most phenomenal guest features ever. Has there anyone who's ever told you no or ghosted you? Yeah, a bunch. Who?

I won't say their names. That's not cool. Just one. Just one. Just one. What's one I could say? The fuck, bro? I don't think...

I don't... Just one. Respectfully. There's still a few. Okay, there's a few. If you want to name a few, I'm with that too. But I don't know. Yeah.

Who did you front on? A lot. Name them. I'm not about to do it. No, no, no. Can I take a shot? Yeah. I'll take a shot. Yeah, yeah.

Hold on. I want a shot too. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair. I think you got a shot? Yeah, take a shot. I'll take a shot. Yeah, yeah. Hold on, baby. I want a shot, too. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair. I think you got a shot right there, no? That's another one. Yeah, I don't think that's fair because, like, just because somebody don't do a verse.

Because it was verses I didn't do for people that I really liked the song. Yeah, don't really mean it front on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit's getting in the way of it. Like, yeah, yeah. Like, I mentioned, like, I had a chance to do a song with Nipsey, and I loved the song. You wasn't front on him. Yeah, yeah.

I wasn't front on him. It was just, like, timing and shit. Timing. So sometimes it just don't work out. Especially now, the way, you know, rappers are, like, fucking mega, mega stars now. So people be moving around. We like athletes and shit now. Just name one person that didn't do a verse for you.

I'm going to name one of the homies then. Kendrick didn't do a verse for me before. And I didn't do it. That's the easy way out. See? You said just one.

I respect that, though. You know what? I didn't do a verse for him before, too. I'm going to take a shot for that. Wait. I'm going to take a shot for that. I'm going to take a shot for that. Take a shot for his breathing right now.

Chopsticks with Travis Scott. Yeah. How did that come about? Same thing. Just like, this is a great song. That's going. That was just a Billboard album. It was like, just hit Billboard, do this, do this, do this.

Yeah, like that. Yeah, just. I can literally do whatever, bro. This shit is easy. I'm telling you, this shit is easy, bro. I'm nasty, bro. I mean, but that's not like a song that i i hold like as like one of my greatest songs or nothing it's hard but it's a good song man it's a great i appreciate it but um i can do that type of like

And I'm normally by myself in the studio. I put like, you know, sometimes I do ideas with a bunch of people. But for the most part, I just, I'm by myself early in the morning just yelling at the wall, bro. Just, and just piece it together. All right. What's up about Ye-Ye? Ye-Ye. Was that about Cocaina? Mm-hmm.

I'm ready. Ye-Ye. Just like, once again, just a song. It was like a street single, man. Like, there's nothing introspective about it. It was just a record. It is what it is. Fuck, let's make a slap.

I had pistols in my hand. You know what I mean? I don't even know that shit no more. But that shit was banging. You know what I mean? It was like a street single. It was like the first single off Oxymoron. It was like before I hit them with this pop shit,

let's hit them with a... I, let's like, let's hit them with a, I normally do that with every album though. Like Groovy Tony was technically the first single off Blankface and did that part. Like I'd be saving like the joint. Right. So I just like, cause I don't want them to box it in or have an idea what this album was going to be. And then I just give them a 360 almost so yeah, Yeye was like yeah, I'm going to

give you this before I give you these pop joints because I'm coming pop with it with the Cloud of Greens and Man of the Year It's crazy that you keep calling it pop I mean it is, it is but rap is pop though, rap is pop well yeah, anything popular is pop I don't hear pop. But rap is pop, though. Rap is pop. Well, yeah, anything popular is pop. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like... Yeah, but I don't think... I don't hear those records as pop, though. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I hear them as pop. Nah, I think you're making hardcore music that happens to turn to pop. Right. No, I think...

Pop is Britney Spears. I think y'all are looking down on pop. I think pop is hard. No, no, no. I'm not looking down on pop. It's just the way that you seem like you're going into the booth saying this is a pop record already. Nah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not hearing it on pop. I think pop is hard. No, no, no. I'm not looking down on pop. It's just the way that you seem like you're going into the booth saying this is a pop record already. No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm not hearing it as a pop record. Oh, I hear you. It could become pop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. But no, I just, I just, I love pop records, though. I love like Nerd and shit.

Right. You know what I'm saying? I love Outkast. Like Indie RD? Yeah. Nerd? Like Pharrell? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love that shit. So it's like. Okay, we love it, too. Yeah, like. That's pop. Yeah, yeah the R.D.? Yeah. Like, Pharrell? Yeah, yeah, I love that shit. So, it's like... Okay, we love it, too. Yeah, like... That's pop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it wasn't pop when they went in the studios, what I'm trying to tell y'all.

No, nerd, I mean, rap is... Yeah, rap is all the genre stuff. Like, I know what he's saying. Like, if you a true creative, you're not really, really saying... I mean, don't get me wrong. There are artists that go in there and say... Miley Cyrus is going in there trying to make pop.

Right, but I don't think any real, like, hip- hop artist goes in there and be like, yo, this is going to be the poppest pop ever. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think MC Hammer was out there for that. MC Hammer was hardcore, bro. I mean, but I can't hear a beat. I know what you're saying. But I can't hear a beat and hear my direction and tell like, oh yeah, I'm going this way

with it and not accept it but like i said rap is the highest form so like uh of music to me like so we're everything like if we do like even though it's a power i wouldn't want my to be in the pop category i wouldn't want that to be like nominated for a pop record of the year hell no i feel disrespected yes it is a rap record but what i'm just saying is just like, you know. Like you knew it was going to hit the masses. Yeah, it's a pop. Yeah, it's a pop. Right.

Yeah. You wasn't making it for your homies. No, no, no. You knew this was going to be bigger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew what that song was going to be. Yeah. Exactly what it was.

It's about water. Water. It's a little baby. Another easy one. Cardo sent it. Kendrick had the beat. Kendrick had the beat and he was like,

I can't do nothing with this. He's like, you take this motherfucking... Cardo already had the hook on there. That was Kendrick's beat first? Yeah, it was his beat. And he gave it to me. Cardo had the hook on it already. And I just rapped on it. That shit was easy. And sent it to me. Like, yeah, Cardo had to hook on it already,

and I just rapped on it. That shit was easy. And sent it to Lil Baby. Like, that was like the easy process. Easy process. What? Yeah, there wasn't nothing deep about that one either. Yeah, nothing deep about that one.

So which record is hard for you here? What record? Because everything you're saying is easy. 2K Knows? All that shit easy, bro. What's a here what everything you're saying is easy to get those all that easy bro what's a difficult record that you went into and said this blue slides that's because it's like uh whose world is this yeah yeah like you know blue slides and uh 2024. because it's super introspective like having to tap into that that vulnerability right client like and the first words hitting how they hit but a climb out of that hole before you fuck up your blessings like i've been trying to come up with a song where it's like do that for so long like you know what i'm

saying like my whole career has been me trying to get a line off like that pretty much like you know what i'm saying like i'm always searching for this thing where I feel like it's perfect. Like, oh, I did this perfect thing. And that's what, you know, so I feel like blue slides because it took me my whole career to be able to do that. Climb out of that hole before you fuck up your blessings, before you realize that it's over, when you start to get desperate. That like sums up pretty much a lot of people come out the gate with

you know what i'm saying like that sums up a lot of shit that's going on right now so many people in desperate situations and doing desperate shit right now to just stay afloat and it's mad weird like i said we said earlier like people scared to act their age and you know that line to me in those words are like I've been working my whole career to say it yeah why didn't um this album be all visual um because that to me when I hear it it feels visual yeah so was, when I hear it, it feels visual. Yeah, so when I was rolling it out, I showed a lot of visuals. I did a lot of visual parts of it, but I didn't really want to do anything after the album dropped. For like a couple weeks, put anything out and just let it live for a little bit.

And then I get back into the album. So I do have more visuals. And I'm shooting, I'm pretty much making it that a visual album. Book, I'm making it like an art piece, a whole art, a whole thing, like a whole theme around it. So yeah, it's more visuals to it. I filmed myself for the last four years recording it too. Right. So it's years of footage of me just making this album. Wow. So I have a lot to do. You documented the whole album? I knew this album was going to be special for me.

So I documented it from day one. So we're going to see this on Netflix? Hopefully. I mean, I ain't going to just say Netflix. I ain't about to give them the play like that shit. Who knows what's going on? Hulu, Vime Video. Who knows what's going on?

So now I'm like trying to, you know, focusing on hooks and shit.

We did Hoover Street and Break the Bank. But yeah, I was just so high again, once again. Super lean, doubt. And I just did the hook and then mumbled pretty much the verses and then i came back like the next day and then i kind of pinned it pinned it down fell asleep pinned the second verse fell asleep only 10th and third yeah this sounds like a late episode here. Then wrote the third verse. Yeah, so just up and down, fall asleep, wake up.

But, you know, it was just one of those moments, you know, like I say, he's my favorite producer. Anytime I get in. Nah, he's incredible. Anytime I'm with him, it's always like, you know, like I can't, you know, this is like my dog. Yeah, like, so, you know, it was like one of those, let's break the bank, you know what I mean?

That's where I was feeling with it, like I came, I finally got to this point and I'm in here with my favorite producer, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, let's kick that, you know what I mean? Let's break the bank, for sure. So, I love the respect that you showed to K-Dot Right? Yeah

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to take a shot for that. I wasn't ready. I was like, damn, I swore you were going to say Dr. Dre. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Because Dre's the one who put you on, correct? Top put me on. No, yeah.

You're thinking of Kendrick. No, no, no. But Dre heard your music. He was the one who signed him. Dre as well? Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. So. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was the one who signed him. Dre as well? Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. So he kind of like vouched.

He vouched. It was like, so Manny Smith wanted to sign me from Interscope and DJ pretty much. Jimmy Iovine's nephew, DJ. You ain't got a shot? I got a shot for that. No, no, no. That's your shot over there. Oh, OK. All right, cool got a shot for that. No, no, no. That's your shot over there. Okay.

All right, cool, cool. Salud. Salud. Salud. What were we saying? About Dre. Dre. About the Dre concert.

Dre heard your shit. So Dre, yeah, Dre pretty much, he heard, I had a song called What's the Word with J-Rock. Then he heard it and he's like, oh yeah, y'all need to, this is hard.

So this is after Kendrick and Dre? Yeah, but both of us wasn't signed at the time. We was just fucking with Dre on some shit. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. You got to give credit to Dre on this. No, for sure, for sure, for sure. Because you're saying it's legit, because some people will highlight Dre in it

and make it seem like they're just using Dre's name but this is legit. Like, Dre heard this. Yeah, yeah.

This is throughout his whole career. He heard What's the Word and, yeah, but they were already interested in it

but there wasn't like, oh, yeah, we're going to do it. But once Dre was like, yo, this is it, this is it and it was like like oh yeah we're gonna do it but once jay yeah jay was like uh yo this is it and it was like yeah we're gonna sign it yeah yeah so yeah he had a he had a he had a piece to do with it yeah yeah and no no politics again right no politics no politics no politics jay is a good dude bro he let me He let me use the studio To mix blue lips actually

So you think Dre is like Sorry to cut you But the same way That you were saying How you want to Highlight Home team

You know Your city It seems like Dre is trying to Give back in his way Nah yeah He always did though I mean Dre

Always put on L.A. No I know I'm just saying that For the people that don't know You know Hell yeah Dre You know what I'm saying That's his jay always put on la no i know i'm just saying that for the people that don't know you know oh yeah hell yeah drape oh you know i'm saying that's his whole thing he put on he put on for the city right you know what i mean what you do with it after that is on you right you know i'm saying but jay put on he put on like if anybody put on drape it on he wouldn't got

everybody he wasn't trying to get motherfuckers from over here and here yeah he's like bro you ain't from the city bro get out you know i mean jay was looking for motherfuckers from over here. He ain't want to be on there, bitch. He's like, bro, you ain't from the city, bro. Get out. You know what I mean? Dre was looking for motherfuckers from the city. Yeah. So he put on, for sure. For sure. There he go.

There he go. That was, I did that at a TD studio in Carson. That was me. Carson City? Carson, yeah. Yeah. That was me trying to sound like my daughter Nicki Minaj

what yeah hilarious what you lost me on that one like your daughter Nicki Minaj like my daughter and Nicki Minaj

oh and Nicki Minaj yeah yeah like just like uh Nicki we used to play with our voice right you were trying to like manipulate your voice yeah yeah

like I was like like just choking around almost like uh and like trying to say it like my daughter like yeah yeah like i was like like just joking around almost like uh and like trying to say it like my daughter like um yeah so nick minaj influenced that record yeah let's go but i yeah creatively me listening to you everyone listening listening to you, you describing that right now. And you said it earlier,

but I want you to reiterate that. Why aren't you scared to take chances where artists are and artists follow the traditional route? Why aren't you scared to do that? Because I will always have a joint on there. You know what I'm saying? You're that confident.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it really is. Yeah, yeah, that too. Like, you know, and I would, like I said, you know, I always, you know, always made like

hit records and shit. So it was like, once you do that, you can do what you want. Right. After that, once you got those records locked in,

like, just make, you know, records locked in like just make you know make what you want to make really make what you want to make and yeah I always had like

this weird ear so like why try to fake it like you know like I had this other ear you know what I mean try to fit in

in something that I don't so I just always stayed true to myself even at times when I thought I wasn't being true to myself you know I was still being true to myself. Even at times when I thought I wasn't being true to myself, you know, I was still being true to myself.

You know what I'm saying? Straight up. So when is the schoolboy cue not documentary, but not reality, but like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld type of show dropping. It has to.

You seen Vince Staples? Yeah, man. Shout out to Vince Staples. The Vince Staples show. Go watch that, man. I haven't got a chance. Shout out to him mentioning Drink Champs in it. Yeah, we need it. He said Drink Champs interviewed Jay-Z.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need a season two. I have not seen it to Jay-Z yet. I've been trying to get a good, clean clip of it to send it to Jay, and I haven't got it, so I'm just going to let it go. But when are you going to do that? Your personality is fucking hilarious. I would love to do it, but at the same time,

my heart is still really into music. Wow. I don't know if I could. Music and golf. You should do a golf version of it. Golf version. A golf to curb your enthusiasm. Yeah.

I actually wrote a golf show, actually. Really? I did, yeah. You smoke weed and golf? Yeah. I would like to be a part of it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did.

I actually wrote a golf show. See, there you go. But I never like pitched it to nobody or tried to like do anything with it. I just wrote it because it's just like writing. It's not called Let's Go Golfing. No. Okay. It doesn't even have a name yet. Okay.

Yeah. But I've written like, I would say seven episodes. Okay. At least I think I did. I don't know like the structure and shit. I just wrote things down and like funny moments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like just like kind of put it together.

I can see that. I didn't, I would probably need to sit with a writer though. So let me ask you, when you go golfing, do you go with the homies? Yeah, my boy Royce Clayton, ex-baseball player do they know how to act like I mean that's my that's my he's an ex-baseball player oh yeah yeah I'm talking about you my homie homies yeah they don't they don't really be into it they don't really be into it nobody from the set yeah yeah they're not really into it but I done brought a couple homies and they was like oh yeah this is cool this is cool then i don't be into it no more yeah but you know they get it though once they get out there one time they understand like oh i get what you be on

you know what i mean like just getting faded like as of recent i i can't even say i don't i stopped drinking anymore. I haven't been drinking like that. We were very nervous. We didn't want to be the first people to drink with you on camera. We were like, what the fuck? They're going to blame us for this. I wasn't an alcoholic or no shit like that.

It's not a big deal. What's your favorite part of the game? is it making the music or performing the music it depends it depends it depends it depends um because i i feel the both i feel both like uh making the music it's nothing like making the music and it's nothing like performing that is doing a crazy show and they singing the words and're looking at somebody in the face and they like really into it. And it's like, oh, shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, so I think this like, you know, they're equal.

Because I heard you, me, not only you, but all the TDE, but you guys are fucking stadium festival music makers. Yeah, yeah. And I heard you say you felt more intimate having a 200 people, you know what I mean, gathering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you said you would rather do SOBs around the world, like an SOB type of setting in New York around the world. Is that because you could see people's expressions you could see people's love for it um i haven't done it in a while one two um i feel like for this album this album is uh the way it's made um it's made like to be played. I don't even see how I can perform a tour on this album and not do it in order.

What do you mean? The whole album? Yeah, yeah. Wow. It's one of those type of things. So I'm trying to figure it out now, what I'm going to do with my tour, how we're going to do it. Because it still has to make sense financially because people got has to you know other you know people got to eat too i can't just be like on me and just everybody taking paid you know what i'm saying

so we're trying to figure it out like how we're going to do it right now um the so the the sobs around the world probably won't work out right we already tried we already thought about it and then tried to get it together. So what makes more sense is the arena type of thing? No. I can't fill the arena everywhere. I could bring it down a little bit and then just do multiple

shows. But I probably won't be able to do the 200 cap like I wanted to. But I can break it down to maybe 1,000 or 700 and then do multiple throws like that. Well, listen, our show is about giving people their flowers. Hell yeah.
