00:00When I see things on my timeline, I address it.
00:02You know?
00:03I just be like, bitch, just be a mess.
00:04Are you crazy?
00:05Like you pop all this, but are you fucking crazy?
00:07Do you know what you got going on?
00:08If the shoe applies, motherfucking buy that shit in every color.
00:11Lace it up, wear it.
00:12Bitch, if that's you, that's you.
00:20Bar work is extremely important.
00:22I think whenever I structure rhymes, I'm always very militant about the science behind hip-hop.
00:27Like I'm a true scholar of hip-hop.
00:29So I count multi-syllabic structures, I count the syllables in each thing.
00:33I think about the influx in my voice, I think about different cadences.
00:36Somebody once told me, make sure your opening line catches everybody.
00:40Make sure the first thing that you say out your mouth is something that makes people stay
00:43for the rest of the time.
00:44When I think about writing, I always be like, I gotta write in captions.
00:47I gotta write in a way that if you take this individual line, you can use it under your
00:51picture, regardless.
00:52So that'll be trying to be caption of the year, girl, when I write.
00:59One putting that shit on is also like the way in which you carry something.
01:08Like somebody could wear the exact same thing as you and they don't carry it the same way.
01:13Probably I would say like some of my favorite go-to looks is just anything vintage or archived.
01:17Like a vintage Dior set or something like vintage Chanel 2003.
01:22I always strived to look like I was pulled straight from a 90's video set.
01:26It was a different type of ethereal beauty back then that I think.
01:29Somewhere along the lines kind of got misplaced and just like overkill glamour.
01:33Simplicity, sometimes less really is more.
01:36So it's so funny, we went back and forth in the studio about this, whether I should
01:49say I'm a beat to a Jay-Z or I'm a B to a Jay-Z.
01:52It really, however you interpret it, can be a double entendre depending on if you looking
01:57at both ways.
01:58But Jay-Z dominates every beat that he's on and I do feel like it's like not a challenge
02:03for him.
02:04It's just not something, it's not a feat.
02:05I'm a beat to a Jay-Z, meaning it's nothing to me, it's nothing.
02:09But also a B to a Jay-Z, I'm his compliment, I'm anybody's, you know, whatever.
02:14And a B was supposed to be, it's supposed to be a kind of a triple entendre because the
02:16B was Beyonce in a billion.
02:18Triple entendre and don't even ask me how.
02:30We had already written the hook, so it ended with like, is you crazy?
02:33Just a double down.
02:34Like, are you mad?
02:35Like, are you, you lost your mind?
02:36I guess that's some like super Jamaican shit to ask, but like, are you mad?
02:39Like, are you crazy?
02:40Like I hear the dumb shit you say, I watch how you think that you're somebody that you're
02:44really not.
02:45But literally you must've bumped your head.
02:46I think that was like the whole format of it.
02:48Like I just wanted to come in swinging.
02:49There's this thing we have in rap culture.
02:54Some people call it certain things.
02:56I call it a forced rhyme scheme.
02:58It doesn't actually rhyme exact.
03:00It's like a forced rhyme.
03:01It just depends on the tonality in which you use.
03:03So, caught me the rolly, caught me the wraith.
03:05And when you see me, you copy and paste.
03:07It's like, it don't exactly rhyme, but you feel the tonality of it.
03:11Even like a T-Pain would say something like, somewhere in Wisconsin.
03:15And it's like, we all know it's Wisconsin.
03:16And we caught that it was that, but it's like, it rhymed with the mansion line.
03:20So, I think in music, we just find different ways to make it fun and engaging.
03:25I'm in your save.
03:26I'm all in your page.
03:27Bookmark folders.
03:28Shit that you named.
03:29I'm speaking about how Instagram really is.
03:31Like a lot of women who don't like you or have an issue with you, you're actually like
03:36one of their moods.
03:37Like I always say, I'm on your mood board.
03:39Like I'm on your style board.
03:40I'm on your inspiration board.
03:41I'm in your save.
03:42I'm all in your page.
03:43Like you, you stay on my page.
03:44You bookmarking my shit, putting it in your save thing, whether that's for makeup inspiration,
03:48for clothes inspiration, for a sound that you may like, or, you know, you really want
03:52to quote my shit, but you're the hate and you just can't, can't let it out.
03:55So I'm like, you name folders after me though, babe.
03:58Like, come on.
03:59I've been in your algorithm.
04:01You got a thousand niggas.
04:02I take a thousand of them.
04:03You took a thousand pictures.
04:04I bet a thousand dollars that in a crowd of women, you ain't the baddest nothing.
04:08I always say, you not a bad bitch until you still a bad bitch in a room full of bad bitches.
04:13And that's across the board.
04:14You not a boss until you still a boss in a room full of bosses.
04:16It's about the way that you carry it.
04:19Period.
04:20Or you could be like forgettable.
04:21Sometimes I tell people like, I nothing you.
04:23I don't like you.
04:24I don't dislike you.
04:25I nothing you.
04:26You're not the baddest nothing.
04:27It's nothing.
04:28Indifference.
04:29I'm a bitch average.
04:30We ain't cut from the same cloth, same fabric.
04:32I'm cut from a cloth they don't make anymore.
04:34God broke the mold when he made me.
04:35One of one in, not just in lyricism, but just in life.
04:39Like the way my posture is, the way my poise is, the way I come into a room, the way I dominate
04:44a record, male or female.
04:46I'm cut from that.
04:47You and her got the same body, same plastic.
04:49Both of y'all going out sad.
04:51Fake tragic.
04:52So tragic.
04:53It's more of a play on words there, rather than it is like an actual this to people with
04:58plastic surgery.
04:59It's just more so like, everybody kind of looks the same.
05:01Be talking the same, doing the same things.
05:03There's no originality in the space anymore.
05:05So I think, how are you going to have your own identity in this world if you're going to
05:08be just like everybody else?
05:09So it's tragic, really.
05:10It's tragic.
05:17I actually went to Chuck E. Cheese like a couple days before I recorded this first.
05:24We had a ball.
05:25It was grown adults.
05:26We had no children with us.
05:27Just eating pizza and playing games.
05:28But I'm looking at Chuck E like, Chuck E look different now.
05:30Chuck E goes on the Olympic now.
05:32He look a little slimmer.
05:33I'm like, yeah, that look like somebody's baby father or something.
05:36So that's how it go.
05:47What's wrong with taking Uber?
05:48Let's start there.
05:49Okay?
05:50Because everybody, I be in Ubers all the time.
05:51But I'm saying, you're a force by nature.
05:53You doing all this fucking and all this whatever, and you still don't have a vehicle to your
05:57name.
05:58You don't have no mode of transportation to get around.
05:59And it's unfortunate because if you lay down with nothing and get out with nothing,
06:02that fucking sucks.
06:11Yeah, I need a screwdriver for my bracelet.
06:13I ain't even got my Cartier bracelet on today.
06:15But yeah, you need a screwdriver to actually get up out of a Cartier bracelet.
06:18For those who don't know, you can't just take it off.
06:20You need the little manufacturer screwdriver that comes with it in order to take your braces off.
06:28A pink slip is something that you receive when you get the title of a vehicle.
06:31When you have ownership of a vehicle.
06:32And again, there's nothing wrong with leasing.
06:34There's business write-offs for all types of shit you want to do.
06:36But I own all my cars, and so I don't lease it.
06:39Pussy out pink, pink slip.
06:40I got pink slips and titles for all my vehicles.
06:42And I think it's just a different caliber of elevated rap scheme.
06:50One thing they don't teach us, black and brown kids in school, is that the value of credit and how important it is.
06:57Make sure you build your credit up.
06:58Because that's what white people do.
06:59They live off of credit only.
07:01Literally.
07:02They buy everything with other people's money and they don't spend any of they own.
07:06So it's a lot of things that they teach us in the world.
07:08Like what they don't ever tell you.
07:09Like if you get a car, don't sign up for a 30% APR.
07:13Or if you got a credit card, they tell you keep your revolving credit at 30%, but the white people keep it at 8-11%.
07:19Certain things like that, that I think we should be more aware of in our communities.
07:22So that we can keep wealth within here and continue to build it.
07:25I think people find flaw in me that aren't comfortable with themselves.
07:30If you don't like me, it's something that I bring out in your spirit that's just unsettled.
07:35Tis is life though.
07:36I'm a better ally than I am an enemy anyways.
