1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: All right, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, and Jasmine from that Jasmine brand dot Com

00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: is here and Joey Badass is here in the building.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I ain't doing Angela here is

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: the definition of way up. I mean, think about it.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: When you first put out your mixtape, you were in

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: high school. Still I was way down, yeah, but but

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: you was lit in high school. To be fair, this

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: is true. What was that experience like just being in

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: high school but being like a celebrity at such a

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: young age. Honestly, it was. It was something I was

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: having a hard time in justin two because I had

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: put out my first mixtape in the end of my

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: junior year, going into senior year. I went on tour

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: that summer for the first time, like Juicy Jay, which

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: was a whole thing in itself, right, like imagine, and

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: then that's when he had bands that make a good thing.

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of things that I feel like

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't have seen at that point, but we're

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: here now. But when I went back to school that year,

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: it was, yeah, it was. It was weird. I'll be

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: sitting in class and like the freshman's are like taking

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: pictures of me from outside the class people being starstruck

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: in the whole way. So I came home on the

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yes, it's oh, it's done with,

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: it's over. You gotta, you know, take me out of this,

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: put me an online school. And she did, and she did,

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: okay respectfully enough, Yeah all right. And you could never

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: have anticipated though back then, like being a junior going

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: into your senior year putting out a mixtape, just where

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: this would really take you in life. Well, I always

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: had a plan, I'll say that for sure, because you know,

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: in high school I wasn't theater student initially for like

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the first two years until I got like kicked out

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: for poor tennis. But um, you know, I always wanted

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: to make music my whole life. But when when it

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: was coming to that point of going to high school

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: and even thinking about college, I'm like, okay, I gotta

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: like choose that specialized learning that's going to help me

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: advanced through life. And at that point, you know, there

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: wasn't any programs to be a rapper or like, you know,

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: to make hip hop music. So I picked the next thing,

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: which was acting. Um, but what I learned quickly was

44
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: how hard it was to make it as an actor,

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: especially coming out and coming up in New York City.

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: So I quickly decided, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna just

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: stick with my musical dreams because I feel like I

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: really got a real chance and in the future, I'll

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: leverage my music career to get back into acting. You

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: think that music is easier than to get into well,

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I thought for me personally, because music was something that

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: I was doing my whole life, and I knew that

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: I had a real talent for it, where acting was

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: something that was new, and like, you know, even my

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: class consisted of um it was two other black kids, right,

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: and these kids been doing it since they was in

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: like elementary school, Like this is like my it's like

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: my third day out here and try and catch up.

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: So I was just like, you know what, let me

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: just stay in my lane and I'll double back, you

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: know when the time it's right. When you started acting,

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: where you concerned about people being hesitant because you're a musician,

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: you're a rapper, Do you think people are gonna not

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: take you seriously? Oh no, not at all. Um, I

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: actually thought that that would help me you know, That's

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: how I looked at it, like I could have some leverage.

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: So when these people was like casting a role, They're like, Okay,

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: this is somebody who can bring viewers to whatever show,

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: to whatever movie. That's how I looked at it. You know.

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: My only like real hesitation when it came to act

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: in the film was early. I wanted to make sure

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: that I could never be like pigeonhole into a stereotypical

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: type of role. So I avoided a lot of roles, right,

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying in the beginning, because I

75
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: wanted to show people that I could really act. I

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to be like a drug deal or street

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: cat or anything like a fucking crackhead or anything like that.

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And yeah shit, yeah, I didn't want to It's all crazy,

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: you know. I didn't want to be by stint Um

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: at the beginning, and then that would just kind of

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: put me in a box for my whole acting career.

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: So I took like different roles like mister Robot or boomerang. Um.

83
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Then you know, the Wu Tang started, Wu Tang was

84
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: even sutting. I hesitated on if I if I didn't

85
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: have such a good relationship with the Rizzar himself. I

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: would have never took that role, really, yeah, because it

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: was too close to what I do in real life. Well,

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: we do love you as Nique, though, I just gotta say, like,

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: and I know that that mattered that early on if

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: that was like your first role that was that was

91
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: like when I took on Nie. I feel like it

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: was perfect time. It's crazy because the month before the

93
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: audition came in, I literally wrote up this plan, this

94
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: manifestation plan. I'm like, okay, I want to land the role.

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it looked like, but I

96
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: was like, I'm ready to shift into like I don't

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: know if it's action or its street, whatever it is. God,

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I want this thing. And then the next month the

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: unique offer came in and it was like and by

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the way, this just shows you how much girls like

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: that type of role, Like we like the bad guy

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: so typical. Yep, it's a shame. We're like, come on,

103
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: leave him alone. You said you did what is it

104
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: call a man of manifesto? What did you do with?

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: What did you write down? What you called it? Just

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: like a manifestation plan, Okay, And so at the end

107
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: of every year, you do that. Okay, in December you

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: do yeah, like the following and it seems to be

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: working out. Okay, oh yeah, do you go back to

110
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: what you look at it? Like, what do you Oh? Yeah,

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean it's definitely has evolved for me

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: into like more of a mind map, because at first

113
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: it was just like, Okay, here's December of twenty nineteen,

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: here's my twenty twenty goals for the year, and that

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: was it. Right then I come back at the end

116
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: of the year, I'll check in halfway. I'm like, you know,

117
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: seeing my progress. But now I write my goals out

118
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: for the year, and then I also have like a

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: monthly plan for them. And what I'm saying because I

120
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the time we write goals,

121
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: you write these big sexy goals, but we don't really

122
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: have a plan on how we're going to achieve them.

123
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: We're just like, I want this right Hopefully one day

124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: I just stumble upon it, you know what I'm saying.

125
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: So I call it like zooming in and zooming out. Okay, yeah,

126
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: you do that in your music too. I feel like

127
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: you've manifested a lot of things, even in your lyrics

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: that you wanted to happen for sure, for sure that

129
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: I have to use that technique. For sure. I might

130
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: talk about something saying I got something and I ain't

131
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: really got it yet, but I know I'm gonna get

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: it once I put it out to the world, you

133
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, because you gotta think about it. Right,

134
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: If I say something like I gotta Bentley and it

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: hits the ears of a million people, it's like, yeah,

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: they're helping me manifest they believe me. You also get

137
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: more accountable when you speak things into the atmosphere and

138
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: people are listening. It kind of makes you more accountable

139
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: facts to make it happen, Like I gotta get this

140
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: for my mom, you know, me and Hope got to

141
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: have this. Yeah, Like well, you know, even with the

142
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: same goals like be careful what you wish for, you know,

143
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm big on the power of the tongue, Okay,

144
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I don't even talk

145
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: about myself in a certain type of way, like I

146
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't talk bad about myself like the most

147
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: I would say, and I gotta stop saying I like

148
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm a boso that's the most negative thing. I would say, Yeah,

149
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: like I'm a bosom would I do that? But you know,

150
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and then I think sometimes it's not a bozo. No,

151
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: actually I'm not. I'm smart and I'm making it happen.

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I also said when you went on social media and

153
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: you said that you were ready to start doing some

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: features and then everybody started going crazy. So did you

155
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: knock out any of those features? Oh? Yeah, I've been

156
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: knocking out a lot of features lately. Um, you see

157
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: the things. I just got my home studio done, and

158
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like now I'm at a mature place

159
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: in my career, Like I feel like growing up over

160
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: the last ten years, it was I was learning how

161
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: to navigate, you know what I'm saying, and I was

162
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: always constantly on the move. Now I actually have my

163
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: my hub and I have you know, stability and everything.

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: So I feel like I could just really see the

165
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: whole playing field and I'm able to just dish things

166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: right back out when it comes to these different opportunities

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So yeah, I've definitely been on

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: the feature run and people could expect to hear me

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: on anybody you could tell us about. Yet I'll rather

170
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: than be surprised. You know, I don't want to spoil

171
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: it for the people that I did it. And then

172
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: they pulled them my versee off like you running your

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: mouth like yeah, actually you're right, ain't crazy. I mean

174
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: my latest feature was with Larry June or shout out

175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: to the Homie Larry and Alchemist. They just dropped their

176
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: album together. And that's another thing that I really like

177
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: about you is that, even though you are still young,

178
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you pay a lot of amys to like them. You know,

179
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: people that came before you in hip hop, and we

180
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: don't see that all the time, and it just shows me, like,

181
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: what was your household like growing up in music? Oh,

182
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: it was very musically like I'll just put a feel

183
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: like this, Like I used to see Ready to Die CD.

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I see Lawn Hill, I see Macy Gray, I see

185
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Indya Read Okay, I see Bob Marley, yellow Mine, Sizzler.

186
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It was Prince. Yeah, this

187
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: is some Brooklyn stuff right here. Yeah. So you know,

188
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: like my mom's side was saying Lucian, my dad's I

189
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: was Jamaican and then you know we grew up in Brooklyn,

190
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: so it was just a melting pot of all these

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: different flavors of music. Who was your first concert that

192
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: you went to? Oh, that's a good question. I think

193
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: it had that been a scream tour took damn you

194
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: exposing men? Know what I'm saying. There's a lot of

195
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,119
Speaker 1: cougars on my body right now. Like that. That's hilarious

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: and so when And I think the other good thing

197
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: about your music besides the fact that I feel like

198
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: it pays homage to UM. You know, I hear like

199
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: chid called quests and like you said, Biggie, you know

200
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: big El You've spoken on how much you like big

201
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: El Nas people. A lot of people have said you're

202
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: reminiscent of like an illmatic type of NIS but also

203
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: social commentary, you know, which I think is important. And

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on in the world right now.

205
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: How does that inspire you in your music? Just when

206
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: you pay attention to what's happening in politics, what's happening

207
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: with UM you know, all of these mass shootings. Sometimes

208
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: you watch the news and it can be really depressing,

209
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: right Um. You know this is I believe it isn't

210
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: need a Simon quote that, like you know, has always

211
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: resonated with me, and she said something along the lines

212
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: of that, like music should always reflect what's going on

213
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: in the times, like what's going on in each generation.

214
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: So you know, I try to take heed to that

215
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: as best as I can, you know, staying aware of

216
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: socio economic issues and socio political issues and stuff like that.

217
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: And you know, because I believe I'm from like that

218
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: older school mindset where like, you know, the rappers are

219
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: kind of like the neighborhood reporters and stuff like that.

220
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: So I definitely think that aspect is important. I think

221
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: as people with such huge platforms and such huge followings,

222
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: there's definitely a duty and a responsibility to feed the

223
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: minds of these people with positive things, or even to

224
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: bring awareness to these people with you know, stuff that

225
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: may be going on in the world that they might

226
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: not know about, and you know, spreading messages further, Like

227
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: I'll always stand for that. However, as a musician, you know,

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: I believe that music is an expression of art, you

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And it's a it's a self expression.

230
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't think that every artist needs

231
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: to be required to only talk about that stuff, but

232
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, once in a while again and you know,

233
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: there's things like interviews as well, Like if you're say

234
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: you're R and B singing, you don't really now see right,

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, but say you're R and B singers, like,

236
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna expect you to necessarily be talking about what's

237
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: going on in the world. It's like, we want to

238
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: hear them that baby making music sometimes what's going on

239
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, because if something touches you in a certain way,

240
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you don't know how that affects other people, especially to

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: hear your favorite artists very true, you know, talk about it.

242
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: That's why I even feel like, um, you know, certain

243
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: songs and music and albums that you've done are things

244
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: that people can listen to and be like damn, because

245
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we are a lot more aware now,

246
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: especially with social media and what's going on. I say

247
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: that exactly, you know, because while this is like the

248
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: information age, is also the misinformation Yeah, Like there's a

249
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: lot of shit that's just being pumped out on the

250
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: daily that has no real backing of facts, and people

251
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: are getting lazy and lazy of actually chasing down on

252
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: the facts. So it's like you read a headline and

253
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: it's like that's what it is, it's any very short

254
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: attention spans. So it's like the headline is the fact,

255
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: that's it. And how do short attention spans affect your

256
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: music too? Because they'll be like, oh, nobody wants to

257
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: listen to a song or an album that's like this length. Um,

258
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't necessarily think that if it affects

259
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: my music like on a song by song basis. But

260
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: I have been taken more heed to that aspect and

261
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: just when it comes to content, like thinking about how

262
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: can I create more short form content? Because I feel

263
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: like there's nothing more frustrating than like having this grand

264
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: idea and spending Hello grands on it. Right, you know,

265
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm just for it to not be consumed in the

266
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: in the way that matches up to what was put

267
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: into it, you know what I mean. So my thinking

268
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: is definitely shifted more into like, Okay, how can I

269
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: make more short form content? Yeah? These motherfucker's got me fucked?

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: And even like you definitely did a little something with

271
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: us when you put Saya in the video and everybody

272
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. First the pictures came out,

273
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: and then and I said that you said that you

274
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: you're single and you guys are friends. But it did

275
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: send everybody in a frenzy. It was great. I'm not

276
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna way to manipulate them. Was that purposeful? It was

277
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: purposeful for sure. I mean not not initially. That wasn't

278
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: the idea, like, you know, when we shot the video

279
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: at first, but when it came to you know, the

280
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: team getting together, like okay, how are you going to

281
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: roll this out? I was like, you guys, hesitant at

282
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: all with the idea of let's make people think maybe

283
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: this is something or you're like cool and maybe it's something.

284
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: You know. I wasn't no hesitation, you know, because all

285
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: parties involved knew what was going on and knew what

286
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: the plan was. Was all on the same page, so

287
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of nice to do that. I

288
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: did that when I may man, now it's more excitement.

289
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: It was like, what's gonna happen? People gonna think I've

290
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: never people have never seen me in that space, They've

291
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: never seen me jumps the pose to somebody, you know,

292
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: like Danny and love Love. I was like, he was

293
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: just on breakfast clause. I'm talking about having two wives

294
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: and what happened me lip service is talking about two wives,

295
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: and like, here he is. And then I started thinking

296
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: like change in the year, and I was gonna say

297
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: that too, because listening to the music, I was like,

298
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like he want to be with one woman. Now, yeah,

299
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like to you that what is

300
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: is that what she hears? Is that accurate? Do you

301
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: want to just see what one? Now? Are you still

302
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: on this? Listen? Like track? Sound and music is so subjective,

303
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: like you can get this from it. She could get

304
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: that from I say, whatever you get from it, like

305
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: take it as that's what it is. Because I also

306
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: when I listened to your lyrics, I'm like, well, clearly

307
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: he wrote this himself and this is a reflection of

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: how he really feels in real life. Like when you

309
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: hear a sound like falling, I'm like, somebody don't got him, yo,

310
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: So I'll reveal it for the first time here. I

311
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: actually made that song in twenty eighteen. Wow, wow, Yeah

312
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: I made that song? Was that five years five years ago?

313
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: Five years old? It's just that, like I never felt

314
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: confident enough or aligned enough to put that out where

315
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: people would accept it from me, you know what I'm saying.

316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: But like I've I've really been experimenting with my music

317
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: for years, for a long time, and I feel like

318
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: now I'm at a new intersection or just had a

319
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: new error where one my confidence is up in to

320
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the alignment. For a lot of these records, it is

321
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: like right on time. You know what I'm saying, which is,

322
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, just just been a whole bunch of

323
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: female engagement, you know what I mean. With Joey on

324
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I'm like, okay, you know

325
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: what if yeah, well that was the first time thing.

326
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: If you pay attention, I've never done that. I've never

327
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: done that before this video. That was strategic and I'm

328
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: not taking my shirt off for nobody unless you know

329
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: it costs, because I'm definitely not one of these It

330
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: paid to take the time off a show, and you know,

331
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: that was something I did to just signify this new era.

332
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: But that's not something I'll be doing. I'm definitely not

333
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: one of them niggas who shirtless with the suit racket on. Like, nah,

334
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. No, I mean, it was

335
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: me in the past, but it ain't me no more. Okay, No,

336
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: And that was interesting that you say that because, um,

337
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: you know, as I was listening to the music, I

338
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: also was thinking about how your fans have expectations of

339
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: you because they grew up, you know, nineteen ninety nine. Yeah,

340
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: and so for you to do this because even when

341
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: you did this song Devastated, which I do like that song,

342
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: it was a shift deviation, yeah, and people were like,

343
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, what is he? You know, what is

344
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: he doing? Some people loved it, and some people have

345
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: kind of want you to stay in like a certain lane,

346
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: you know. So for you, like, how do you respond

347
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: because clearly they're your fans still, but you're also like,

348
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: you gotta let me grow, right, Yeah, I mean you

349
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: know that was pretty much that was my goal with

350
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: my last album two thousand, that I dropped in July.

351
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, before that album, it was a five year

352
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: break hiatus. And in that five years, like I was

353
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: doing a lot of stuff like falling and you know,

354
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: this different experimentation with my voice, with my sound. But

355
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, by the time I looked up, I was like, Damn,

356
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: five years went by. I can't just come hit them

357
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: with like you know what I'm saying. It's like the

358
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: way I look at it is the rap game like

359
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: the crack game. So here it is Joey Badass. Right,

360
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: here's my trap house. Here. My fans are like my clientele.

361
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: They're coming to my trap house because they know I

362
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: have crack. I haven't produced crack in five years, right,

363
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: and I got on these fiends still lined up around

364
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: blockers waiting for crack. But if I just come to

365
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: the door and I'm like, here's some crystal meths, right,

366
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: They're like, what the fuck is this? So you know,

367
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: with two thousand I hadn't This is true, but you

368
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: know I had to serve the clientele because you know what,

369
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: they would loyal. They waited for me, They kept me

370
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: above water. You know what I'm saying. They is why

371
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: I survive. You know what I'm saying, Like they come

372
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: to the shows everything, like even those five years and

373
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: no music, I never had a dull moment. So I

374
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: had to reward those people. I had to show those

375
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: people thank you. You know what I'm saying, that I

376
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: appreciate you and that I'm always gonna hold y'all down

377
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 1: with this product that y'all love. But now that they

00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: got the crack, you know, enterprising, enterprising, you know what

379
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like, look, I set my man, look

380
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: you run this track. I'm gonna go to Newark, New Jersey.

381
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start seeing what's good with this other shit.

382
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: It was really that character. What's the craziest thing that, um,

383
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: you've experienced with a fan? Since we're talking about your fans, hmmm,

384
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: can you kids elaborate? Well, I don't know. I'm not

385
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: a like it's an interesting some interesting experience with a

386
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: fan or something crazy that fan did say the dawnest things?

387
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: The do you remember that show? I'll be looking at

388
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: fans sometimes. I don't know, Like, what's the craziest thing.

389
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: Many crazy things have happened, like from you know, fans

390
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: just wandering into my dressing room acting like they're working

391
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: for you know what, I'm saying, different type of stuff.

392
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: That time it was actually a guy like you with

393
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: Bro's I'm it's always something new. It's always something new.

394
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: Every time I go out, it's something there was something different.

395
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: So you are doing an R and B album, right,

396
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't I wouldn't call it an R and

397
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: B album. I say it's like R and B influenced

398
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: and inspired you know what, I'm saying, it's definitely something

399
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: more out, something I describe more as like here's a

400
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: body of work where I'm over it up about my

401
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: relationships with women, you know, my dating experiences and my

402
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: love life. Okay, people want to hear that too, because

403
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: I feel like for so long, that's why when you

404
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: did lip service, that was like is he really gonna

405
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: do that? And you definitely came on there and brought

406
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: the heat. Do you have any regrets with the interview

407
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: because you said a lot and yeah, you know people

408
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: I always say I see people reference the time too.

409
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: But you know what I say all the time is like,

410
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, as we're we're all humans, so you know,

411
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: and it's not even a set that I like, I'm

412
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: not recanning anything that I said, but you know, as

413
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: human beings, we grow and we evolve. So you know,

414
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: you might feel this way at this point in your life,

415
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: but that don't mean you're gonna feel that way forever,

416
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: right you know what I'm saying. So yeah, you know

417
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: that's exactly where I was, and I stand on everything

418
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: I said and at that time I was at that

419
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: time right here, now you stand on its because I

420
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: also because I don't think before that you would have

421
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: done that interview, you know, because I know I've been

422
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: liked trying to get you on there for a while

423
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: and it wasn't time for you. Yeah, I agree. I agree.

424
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I wouldn't have done it, but then

425
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: couldn't have been better? Yeah, you know what I mean.

426
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: And I'm big on alignment, you know what I'm saying,

427
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Like even with this phone or song, like I've loved

428
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: this song for five years. Yeah that's crazy. I loved

429
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: it Like my iTunes, I probably played this song five

430
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: thousand times, you know what I'm saying. And now I

431
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: just feel like the time couldn't be anymore better. It's

432
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: like brand new to y'all, ears right, And it's almost

433
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: brand new to me too, for sharing it with the

434
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: world for the first time. And it's a very vulnerable

435
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: thing to do because it is a different look, and

436
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: I know sometimes that can be scary too, like how

437
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: are people are going to receive this? I was just

438
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: tired of being scared, you know what I'm saying. Like,

439
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, it's now or never, Like if I'm

440
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: really gonna make shifts and changes and leaps and bounds,

441
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: or if I'm really gonna be about the things I

442
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: told about, if I'm gonna be a good role model,

443
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: like I gotta show these people that you gotta take

444
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: these risks. You know what I'm saying. I gotta be

445
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: wanting to stand on the risk. And you know, I've

446
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: taken risk before in the past that I feel like

447
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: weren't as successful. But I feel like there's no really,

448
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: no real such thing as failure because you only learned right,

449
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: you know. And I will say this like ghost Face,

450
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, part of the reason why I love him

451
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: is because of his experimenting with the R and B

452
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: on the level that he did. You know, he did

453
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: like the was it the Wizard of Poetry album where

454
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: it was like all collabs and kind of like an

455
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: R and B album. So are you planning to do

456
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,440
