Let's be real—Young Thug's raps are hard to understand. So I really see people around me, and influencers using their voice but it’s way more powerful and it’s way more impactful now because we have social media where everybody can hear and see everything, and that’s what’s kind of scary. So you know say Dane Ray is like him bredren and stuff. Because you’ll get run over.I also want to touch on your other Instagram for a minute too, Jayversay. And if you think about it, on paper, it's the simplest hip-hop record ever made and it's just so magical because if an alien came from out of space like, 'What is hip-hop?' Points are capped at 100,000 per year. Just how much they inspire me and how my beats sound. And Treach and Vinnie are the sweetest guys, I've known them since I was a child and they've always been really supportive of me and my career and that song is special. And I said, 'Well, if I can connect my musical heroes from home to home, perhaps I can give people this feeling that I'm feeling right now.
It’s a very very very hard time and I can tell even out in the streets it shows.
It's so brilliantly simple and it's powerful because of its brilliant simplicity. 2 strives to represent, the beauty and inspiration of classic hip-hop. One of the greatest experiences was calling Big Daddy Kane, one of the greatest rappers of all-time.Now, I haven't spoken to Kane on the phone in years. I would play them “Sucker M.C. There's no chorus, it's only four verses.
It’s some stuff that white people need to do more, like, it’s some stuff that white people need to do more of!
I hear you say things like, “Givin’ you my heart beg you take it from me.” It’s so touching to hear that!Yo, that was so serious. But the second reason is kind of a bigger picture, which is I really believe that that music is the most feel-good, uplifting music ever created.
What has the recruiting process for Pass The Mic entailed and how would you describe the artists' reception to the idea of it all?Well, the process has certainly evolved, I would say that's the best word to use. This is who I want in it. Since his influencer ascension through comedic skits via the now-defunct social media platform, Vine, in 2016, Jay has used his platform to amplify Black spirituality, Black creativity, and Black mental health. So I was supposed to be in the UK actually doing a camp. Firstly, what I was doing wasn't possible to present to people on Instagram. If you made your first beat a little over 2 years ago, and just got featured on Pray for Paris, where do you hope to be 2 years from now?Two years from now, I expect for me to have a successful production company, successful music career, modeling, acting, architecture.
It just made me very angry, that I had all this kept from me for so long. All that's on there is a kick, a snare, a clap, and rhymes. It's not only one of my favorite hip-hop records of all-time, it's one of my favorite records of all-time, it just simply exudes joy and celebration. The partnership is a no-brainer. And there I met a producer named Dane Ray.
Since this major moment in his music career, Jay has been active in both the studio and on the Internet, spreading awareness about Black rights.There have been a lot of performative activism surrounding the most recent protests against police brutality following the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black folk in this country.
The recruiting process for Vol. With a low Barter skill, item prices may be as high as 700 for Again, the skill only determines the price of the vendor's goods.
She’s just a very good person, besides her being a celebrity. It’s good to be able fe spread light and just inspire people.You know there was a time hip-hop was not getting televised either. 2 was entirely different because not only had many of the artists now seen Vol.
What were y’all doing in the studio?’” Despite this, Jay’s individuality has never faltered and he has turned his personality into one of his most endearing qualities. I don’t know when I’ma expect a project.” I just know I sent him the beats and he hit me up every now and then like, “Yeah, I wrote to this,” and I’m like “Alright.” So I really don’t know, that’s Freddie Gibbs so I really don’t know. 1 and 2 were very different, in that respect. She still hits me up every other week, just asking if I’m good.
I take it back! How would you describe your relationship with that era of hip-hop and how the music inspired you as a DJ? And perhaps I can use that as a way to pay homage to the heroes around the world fighting for health.'
I’ve been protesting online.And people are finally starting to talk about it now, but all the Black trauma does such damaging things to the Black psyche as well.That’s another thing, I want to add to what I want to see more of. No matter where you go in the world, no matter what music someone loves, no matter how old they are, no matter who they are, no matter where they are, everyone sings along to that chorus and knows exactly what to do with their hands. I sampled that the exact same way and was going to send it to Freddie and I’m glad I didn’t cause Alchemist did it.I mean, the fact that you and Alchemist are thinking on the same wavelength is impressive as hell.Yeah, that’s what I keep thinking! He is deeply rooted in his beliefs, unapologetically himself, and simultaneously still growing into his newly discovered goals and ambitions. They gave us books, they gave us interviews, they spoke out. Like, nah, go to your neighborhood to protest. Me never think it woulda reach this far.This is the first time we've heard a love song from Koffee.
1 and it worked out well, so I've chosen to host a live event for Vol. I like to call it your Sprinsta(spiritual Instagram).
It’s stuff from when I was a little kid that I didn’t realize was traumatic to me, and it’s just now processing. Hi Guru It depends on what the white gold is alloyed with.
And these artists, the artists who I've included in Pass The Mic Vol. The recruitment process for Vol. I’m like, damn.
Before you had homeless people and beggars but now when you look pon them face it’s so rough.
2, is really important to me.
1, which saw some of the biggest R&B stars of the late '70s and the '80s performing their greatest hits from the comfort of their homes, for the world to see.
