00:00 This is the most thorough breakdown of any song that I've ever experienced in my life.
00:04 I learned new things about angels in Tibet today, so that's amazing.
00:07 The inspiration for the song started with five or six super creative individuals just
00:19 in the studio getting drunk.
00:20 So we were just playing the beat in the studio, just chilling.
00:23 And I remember just coming off the top like,
00:28 And just kind of freestyling that whole melody.
00:31 And then I remember KZ going, "Bling, bling, bling, bling, bling."
00:34 And I turned around and I was like, "Oh, that's it.
00:37 That's the money right there."
00:38 And yeah, that's how we made the record.
00:40 Just having a lot of fun and being drunk.
00:52 I think about this sexy goddess in the club dancing and just sweating.
00:59 The whole room is just entranced by this person and everyone is just watching.
01:03 That's what I think about.
01:04 I've got the cure to all your life's problems and it's that pussy in a bed.
01:17 And once you connect them, you come out saved.
01:23 I don't know, it's too many girls that's saying that.
01:26 I've got the cure and it's...
01:27 You ever heard a French shorty say, "Louvre Armani"?
01:39 Hot.
01:40 Sexy.
01:41 I spend a bitch like I'm spending a paper.
01:43 That's me consistently stunting on these hoes.
01:45 Okay, keep going.
01:46 I Lindsay Alohan.
01:47 I play with my favorite.
01:48 Y'all be just boring.
01:49 I need the foreign.
01:50 I need Dior.
01:51 I just wanted to put Lindsay Lohan in there.
01:52 So that honestly means nothing.
01:54 How do you Lindsay Alohan?
01:56 Well, I'm starting to think about some of these lyrics and I'm like, "Dang."
02:00 It makes sense, but it also was not supposed to make sense.
02:03 I'll spaz on a nigga like how Lindsay be spazzing on her family.
02:09 I'll pull one up in here.
02:10 So I think that's what I'll Lindsay Alohan means.
02:13 The Dior in the club, take it off in the club.
02:18 Pay homage in the club to the God in the club.
02:22 Play your part in the club.
02:23 Say no more in the club.
02:25 Love and war in the club.
02:26 Shut that door in the club.
02:29 So have you ever seen Nelly's "Hot in Here" video?
02:32 You know that scene where they're all in the basement and then the sprinklers go off?
02:36 That's what that first line is inspired by.
02:38 And I think the love and war thing is just about there's a push and pull.
02:41 Should I?
02:42 Should I not?
02:43 Do I take your number?
02:44 Do we go home together after this?
02:45 That's the love and war of it all.
02:47 When we were writing the song, we were like, "Yo, we should just write a verse that we
02:58 think Thug would say so if we ever get to send it to him, this is the part we want him
03:02 to say."
03:03 That sounds like something Thug would say.
03:05 So that is really just me channeling Thug.
03:09 You know Thug has said something like, "I nut on that fish."
03:12 So that is us flipping, "I nut on that fish" to "I wanna fuck a puddle."
03:15 Shout out to Thug.
03:16 Love you.
03:17 Don't you wanna taste it?
03:18 You guys have probably heard Kings Dead, Kendrick, and Future.
03:31 And Future randomly during his verse goes, "La dee da dee da, slob on me now."
03:36 That's one of my favorite things he's ever done in a song.
03:39 I just thought, how did you just randomly do that?
03:41 So that was my bling, bling, bling, bling, bling.
03:43 I like Chainz on Chainz was my homage to Future doing that in Kings Dead.
03:47 And sure enough, it's the most popular part of the song that everyone loves.
03:50 I wanna give you some super deep reason why that's in there, but I promise you we just
04:02 got to the end of the verse and we was like, "We should just go, just breathe, breathe."
04:06 When we were writing a lot of these songs, a lot of our references were early 2000s music.
04:12 They do a lot of random stuff where it's like, someone will talk at the beginning of the
04:16 verse or someone will talk in the middle of a verse or they'll do a really cool sound
04:20 effect.
04:21 I think I have to shout out probably Timbaland and just some of the stuff that he's done
04:24 with Justin, Tweet, Missy, and how that was influencing this record in particular.
04:29 I think even with "Angels in Tibet," you can hear it in the drums.
04:32 They're very Timbaland inspired.
04:33 First of all, can I get my neck for even putting a bridge in a song?
04:45 'Cause they don't do that today.
04:47 So for me, it's about that moment where you ascend, go from this passionate experience
04:53 with someone on the dance floor, then it moves to the bed and now you're just kind of going
04:56 higher and higher.
04:57 I think it encapsulates that entire experience of just lifting up into a different energy
05:03 and into a different plane and then coming back down.
05:06 I've heard like, "A-ma-ray."
05:14 I've heard "A-ma-ray."
05:15 I've heard "A-ma-ray."
05:16 I've heard "A-ma-ray."
05:18 Honestly, countless versions.
05:20 Some people have just not even bothered to even try to say it.
05:23 Some people just butcher it completely, like "A-ma-ma-ray."
05:26 I'm like, "What's that?"
