Speaker 3: newfound fortune, like that was the whole theme of that album.

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: I feel it was more musical than most like young

21
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: wild Nigga albums back then, and it felt like there

22
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,000

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,000

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: It didn't hit for me, No, it really didn't hit

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: for me.

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: It did, but it was it was like eighteen songs,

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: hell us Hello songs.

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it didn't do much in personally, still a

43
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: huge Baby King fan. Then we saw him like pop

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: up on Mister Morale and he had, you know, a

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: freestyle on there where he was talking some real ship

46
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: where he was talking about how how you know, Yeah

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm young and I'm rich now I got money, But Bro,

48
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: I buried my uncle last week and there's nothing I

49
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: could do about that. And it kind of like you

50
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: see that team on this album where it's not to

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: Die for my Bitch, while Young Nigga kin it is

52
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: the dude who was reckoning with how quickly he rose

53
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: to fame, how quickly he rose to fortune, and how

54
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: he's dealing with, like you know, the dysfunctional upbringing that

55
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: he had, how that's still something that that that that

56
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: is still impacting, that is still you know, molding him

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: as something that he can't get away from. Like you know,

58
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: I tweeted out today about how how I love it

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: because it is just a shining example of how you

60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: can have heavy subject matter without boring production, right, because

61
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: that shit is like he is talking some real heavy

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: shit like that that Hwy ninety five Part two freestyle

63
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: were talking about being homeless and living under highway ramps

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: and that shit is knocking like it's hard, you know

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: what I mean? And and yeah, I'm just and the

66
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: kid is only twenty five, and I'm just so impressed

67
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: with this artistry and his vulnerability me like it's it's

68
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: it's I'm just very much gon away a bout this album.

69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: Credible album, bro, the song about his mom, what he

70
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: talks about, he doesn't blame her, yeah you know what

71
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, or like, you know, I think that's so.

72
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean at twenty five experiencing that the mom, I

73
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: think she had an addiction as well, and she was

74
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: homeless for a while, and you know, she wasn't as

75
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, involved in his life.

76
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: And he talked about how you.

77
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Know, he was making bread, making shit shake and you know,

78
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: but his mom was you know, you know, homeless, you know, encampments,

79
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like like it was just

80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: like the way he talked about it, like like you said,

81
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: tell his vulnerability. I just like this is like young

82
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: adult King, But I think he's more more mature than

83
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: you would imagine a twenty five year old. It would

84
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: be even at twenty five, like the type of like

85
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, grace he's giving his mom even you know,

86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's just really admirable. But yeah, he's really rapping.

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: But it's not in the way that's like.

88
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's not preachy.

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: He's not preachy, he's not pretentious.

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: Like it's just it's all seems so natural, like his.

91
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: Growth like lyrically and I'm musically, I mean, he's just

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell he takes his time.

93
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Only eleven songs, but every single second of the album mattered.

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he didn't waste a single second. He

95
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: didn't want to waste anybody's time. Let me give you

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: this fucking heat, you.

97
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying. Let me talk about shit that

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: matters to me. And he had like some real fun

99
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: moments and then some real, like you know, revealing moments.

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: But I mean he buried his soul and his shit

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: and melodic blue.

102
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: I thought artistically, I fucked with it, but the music

103
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: itself didn't.

104
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: Really hit to me, you know what I mean. I

105
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: feel like he kind of figured this out.

106
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: And I always feel like, you know, he had two

107
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: albums before that, they were just slat bro it just

108
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: went crazy. This one just seemed like it was a

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: veering into a different lane and he was trying to

110
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: figure it out. I think that happens with artists. We

111
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: try to do something different and they don't quite hit it,

112
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And he knocked out of the

113
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: park with this album, you know what I mean. I

114
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: feel like he found that dead lane with this one.

115
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, man shot of the baby king, Bro, you

116
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And also that's just a difficult

117
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like him him being cousins

118
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: to Kendrick because you know what I mean, and like

119
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: hopping on songs with Kendrick and holding his own you

120
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: feel me where ken it just don't you know, swallow

121
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: up the whole.

122
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: Track, you know what I mean. Like, but also Kindrick come,

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

124
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I smell something, you know what I mean, walking in

125
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: no party, ain't afraid of body, something like that, you

126
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

127
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: Like I mean, I just I just love it, Bro.

128
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: It's fun, but also it's it's really uh intentional, Mike.

129
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: And it's also very you know, like you said, very

130
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: vulnerable and just provoking.

131
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all the things you like out of

132
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: art
