11
OK?
12
We said that last week.
13
But you know, 21 dropped his project, and he flew in on the PJ.
14
That's right.
15
So we had to make the accommodations for 21.
16
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17
What's good?
18
You had your party last night.
19
I'm surprised that you even got on the PJ to get here this morning.
20
Yeah, I ain't even go to sleep.
21
I ain't even go to sleep.
22
Hold on, I got these fucking things in.
23
I forgot.
24
Yeah, I ain't even go to sleep, man.
25
I stayed up for y'all, man.

So you stayed up, got on the PJ, came right in.
28
And you going right back?
29
Going right back.
30
Jesus Christ.
31
Well, the album is out right now.
32
The first song, of course, is the song that's been trending and people have been talking about.
33
Yeah.
34
I first heard that song and I was like, that sets the tone of the album.
35
Absolutely.
36
Let's talk about the first song a lot.
37
Yeah.
38
You and J.
39
Cole, how'd you get together on this joint?
40
I had met J.
41
Cole probably last year at Made in America at Jay-Z Festival.
42
I met him the same time I met Jay-Z and Beyonce.
43
And we exchanged numbers and shit.
44
And we always just been talking on some big brother giving me advice on my career and shit.
45
Mm-hmm.
46
So he just randomly just text me like, shit, I'm in Atlanta, what studio you at?
47
And I had my kids with me.
48
So I called my manager like last minute, like book a session type shit.
49
I brought my kids up, that shit.
50
And we just vibed out.
51
And then he just, he took the song with him back home to Raleigh because he drove.
52
So he drove back to Raleigh.
53
And then he sent me the shit.
54
I was like, damn, this shit hard as fuck.
55
He said he realized you was a stand-up dude because he saw you with your kids in the studio, right?
56
Yeah, yeah, hell yeah.
57
He told that story on the record.
58
Did you bring your kids to the studio often?
59
Nah, that was just like some spare the moment shit.
60
Like, had to go up there and fuck with Cole.
61
You know what I'm saying?
62
You know, I want to talk about the evolution of 21 Savage as a rapper, man.
63
It seems like you really started to take rap and music serious.
64
Yeah, hell yeah.
65
What got you to that point?
66
I don't know.
67
I just, I feel like I done sacrificed a lot in my life, like, to be here.
68
At first, I wasn't really taking it like because it was like I didn't really know what it was going to be.
69
But once I seen like what it could do and what I could do with it, and I just sat back and just thought about like all the shit that I've been through in my life.
70
I just was like, man, I got to do whatever I can do to just do my best with it.
71
Because it's like a gift for real.
72
Are you surprised with the responsibility and the power
73
that you hold over a lot of your fans and kids that they really follow and respect and love what you do?
74
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
75
That's why I be trying to move right, you know what I'm saying?
76
Trying to, like, evolve type shit.
77
Was it the fact that you've just been
78
so used to whatever you was doing in the street that when you started doing something different, you just didn't know how to make the transition?
79
Is this real or not, so to speak?
80
Yeah, it was kind of like that.
81
Like, I was used to moving the way I move.
82
And it was like the rap life was like different.
83
It's just different.
84
It's like eyes on you at all times.
85
You can't really do what you want to do.
86
And then you got people who look up to you, so the same shit that you do gonna rub off on them.
87
And you don't want to just lead them the wrong way, you know what I'm saying?
88
Even though like I come from the street, I don't really want my fans to go through no shit in the street, you know what I'm saying?
89
I just buried another one of my close friends Tuesday on my kids.
90
Like, one of my main mans, like, Tuesday.
91
So, it's like, I don't want them to go through that.
92
I want to tell my story, but I don't want you to try and live my story.
93
Yeah, you're not glorifying it.
94
Yeah.
95
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
96
The title of the album, I Am, I Was.
97
Is this kind of what that signifies?
98
The new 21, so to speak?
99
I am greater than I was, yeah.
100
Yeah, yeah.
101
I'm greater than I was.
102
I feel like I am.
103
I feel like I'm doing better.
104
I feel like just me as a man, I done changed.
105
I'm trying to do the right thing.
106
Like, I feel like I'm greater than I was.
107
Where'd you get that from?
108
Just thinking.
109
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
110
And, like, my managers, they was tossing some names and shit.
111
We came up with it.
112
Do you ever feel like, I mean, it's never too late, but do you ever feel like it, like, because when you said you just buried a close friend, do you ever feel like it could still catch up to you in some way?
113
Yeah, hell yeah. For sure.
114
I done did a lot.
115
So it's like, you never know.
116
See, it be different.
117
Like, you got a lot of these rappers, like, they from the street, but they, like, they ain't really active.
118
They wasn't really active in the street.
119
You know what I'm saying?
120
Like, you can be from the hood.
121
You can sell some weed.
122
You can make you some money.
123
But it's, like, it's a difference when you actively, like, deep-rooted in the street, like, on another level where it's, like, it leads to death.
124
So that's, like, one of the things that I always just accept it with it.
125
You know what I mean?
126
Like, if that's what it come down to, that's what it come down to.
127
Because I know what type of energy I was putting out there.
128
Know what I'm saying?
129
So it's like, I know how to accept death.
130
So it be like, it hurt, but then again, it be like, shit.
131
I know what type of life we live.
132
Like my partner who just got killed, one of them, like, he's a robber.
133
That's how he do.
134
He gonna steal your shit, take your shit, rob you, whatever.
135
So it's like, he put that energy out there, so he already knew the consequences behind the shit.
136
So it's like, it hurt because it's like, damn, my nigga gone.
137
But it ain't like no shit why I ask God why.
138
You know what I'm saying?
139
You know why.
140
Because I know why.
141
You know what I'm saying?
142
Because I ain't thang with me.
143
You got killed trying to rob somebody?
144
Nah.
145
Okay, okay.
146
I don't really know the details, but that's what I'm saying.
147
He done did so much shit that I don't know what it could be like.
148
It could be a hit.
149
He took the wrong nigga shit.
150
Like anything.
151
You know what I'm saying?
152
But R.I.P the Lil D, man.
153
It seemed like you had that point like Kane and Menace.
154
Remember when Kane wanted to, he had so much, he had stuff to live for now.
155
Yeah.
156
He didn't want to die.
157
You know what I'm saying?
158
So even though you said you accept death, you don't want to die.
159
No, I don't want to die.
160
But I mean, I feel like I done looked deaf in the eye.
161
You know what I'm saying?
162
Like, I done looked deaf in the eye.
163
So it's like, I don't want to, but if it came down to it, I wouldn't be scared.
164
It wouldn't be like a thing where I, I wouldn't beg for my life.
165
I say it like that.
166
Like if a nigga had me down bad, I'm not begging for my life.
167
I'm no whole shit.
168
I'm just, it is what it is.
169
Do your thing.
170
You know what I'm saying?
171
What's making you open up so much?
172
I just remember the first couple of interviews you came in.
173
The first interview, you barely said anything.
174
And the second interview, you started opening up a little more.
175
But now, you know, I'm looking at you and you're like, you really evolve.
176
What's making you open up so much now?
177
Giving people that insight of your life.
178
probably because i'm so
179
out of the streets i can kind of talk now in
180
a sense you know i'm saying i ain't really doing shit
181
again then it's like i don't know i feel like a
182
lot of these rappers don't got no story bro like they ain't been through shit
183
so it's like the ones
184
that have been through shit i feel like the people need to hear them people's stories
185
because it's like it's a different type of connection yeah you
186
got a car you got a watch you a rapper you fuck bad bitches
187
and you party
188
but it's like what the fuck else are you talking about
189
like what else have you been through you know what i'm saying
190
so it's like i almost kind of fall into that category
191
if i don't express myself
192
when i come up here with y'all you know what i'm saying
193
and what made you open up about your your personal life
194
because we seen that so up close and personal which was surprising because you have always been so to yourself.
195
Yeah.
196
I don't know.
197
It's just learning the game.
198
Really just learning how to be a rapper, bro.
199
That's all.
200
Would you do that again?
201
Would you let your personal life be so open like that to the public again?
202
As far as what?
203
Following you, pictures, and everything.
204
You're talking about Amber, man.
205
But that's his personal life.
206
Would you allow your personal life to be so far open?
207
I feel like Ball Without You is about Amber Rose.
208
You're a Ball Without You?
209
You got to hear ball without you.
210
This nigga is hell.
211
Bro, I hate you, bro.
212
I swear.
213
So why you thinking about Amber, y'all man?
214
You just got to hear the lyrics.
215
You hear it?
216
Amber heard the song before it came out, though.
217
Oh, you heard it?
218
Okay.
219
She liked the song.
220
Oh, God.
221
Man, Amber is cool as a motherfucker.
222
It ain't really about her.
223
It's just about just relationships and just like ...
224
I ain't gonna lie.
225
It ain't about her, but some shit that I'm saying in the song is like me and her done had them discussions.
226
I done talked to her.
227
I talked to her when we was together about, like, fuck your love, Amber.
228
I don't want your love.
229
I want your loyalty.
230
I done had them discussions with her.
231
So that's where that kind of came from.
232
It ain't just about her.
233
Amber, my dog, she's the coolest person ever.
234
That was a hard line.
235
You said you would rather have loyalty than love.
236
On God, I would what's
237
that mean exactly it's like you can have a dog bro like you could love the out your dog
238
but you ain't gonna be loyal to your dog because you'll go buy another dog
239
you know what i'm saying
240
so it's like love love is just all love is to me is attachment
241
if i'm around a girl every single day i'm gonna love her even
242
if i don't want to love her i'm gonna grow to love her because I'm going to be attached to her.
243
It's just like a baby getting attached to his mama.
244
That's love, right?
245
When a baby get attached to the mama, it's love.
246
All that come from is when I'm born, you all the fuck out here.
247
You all I know.
248
You can remove your...
249
A baby could have a whole new mother from birth.
250
That ain't their biological mother.
251
Grow up and love that mother the same way that they would have loved the real mother.
252
You know what I'm saying?
253
Loyalty is like an action to me.
254
It's like, no matter what, if you loyal to me, no matter what, you're going to have my best interest at heart because you loyal to me.
255
But how far does loyalty go?
256
Because you can say that and you can say, I want a girl that's loyal.
257
But how loyal are we to them if the table's a turn?
258
And what's loyalty?
259
Loyalty is just never betraying me and never doing nothing intentionally to hurt me.
260
So that's what I mean by that.
261
I'd rather have somebody who is always going to have my best interests at heart, is never going to do nothing to betray me versus just have somebody who just loves me.
262
Because you could kill me out of love.
263
You could love me so much to the point that it drive you crazy and you kill me.
264
But if you loyal to me, you ain't going to never do nothing to harm me because your loyalty is like you have loyalty with me.
265
You don't want to cross me.
266
You know what I'm saying?
267
Now, there's women watching this right now that say, okay, so that means if I get into a relationship with 21, he ain't going to cheat on me because he's loyal to me.
268
When I say loyal, I don't mean like...
269
But look, I don't cheat though.
270
I don't cheat. For real?
271
Like, if I'm in a relationship with, like, a girl, like, and I'm fucking with her like that, I ain't gonna cheat.
272
That's what I'm talking about.
273
Black men don't cheat, baby.
274
It's a movement.
275
You hear me?
276
If I'm cheating, that means she doing something wrong.
277
Before I cheat, I'm just gonna cut you off.
278
Before I just be labeled like a dog, cheating-ass nigga, like, nah, we just gonna break up and I'm gonna do my thing.
279
I'm gonna tell you I ain't ready to do this.
280
Know what I'm saying?
281
So you feel like...
282
It ain't just about cheating with loyalty.
283
It's just about like, just, I don't know.
284
It's just like, just be loyal.
285
Like, don't cross me.
286
You know what I'm saying?
287
Don't stab me in my back.
288
Don't embarrass me.
289
You know what I'm saying?
290
That's more so what it's about.
291
Don't just say you love me all day.
292
Like, I don't care about that.
293
Show me.
294
That's the difference between love and loyalty.
295
You can say love.
296
You can't show love, really, if you think about it.
297
I love, the most you can do is love and say, I love you.
298
loyalty, you can show me.
299
Like, I left a million dollars in cash sitting in the house.
300
You didn't steal a dollar.
301
That's loyalty.
302
I'm dying bad.
303
I ain't got a dollar left.
304
You still right here with me.
305
That's loyalty.
306
You can show that.
307
You can't show love.
308
And, Ball, without you, whoever you're talking about, does not seem like they was too loyal to you.
309
Well, how you take that from that?
310
Explain to me how you got that from that.
311
You said she was sleeping with other guys.
312
Because you miss me.
313
Because you miss her.
314
You miss you getting drunk because you miss me that ain't
315
but that ain't being disloyal okay
316
because we ain't together That's why you miss me got you
317
got you got you got you just doing shit cuz you miss me got you Yeah, that's what I was saying.
318
That's a tough tune.
319
That could be a single
320
Probably
321
so I like all my friends to it uh post Malone
322
You say you lost a lot of friends counting money in your Bentley coupe
323
But you don't need no friends
324
if you want to know the truth seems like you had to like just cut some folks off No, that was back in the day.
325
Okay.
326
Okay before i started getting rap money
327
when i just had regular money regular street money you know i went through the thievery
328
and the betrayal and all
329
that see i had an identity at a young age charlemagne
330
like i've been savage you know what i'm saying before rap
331
like you can go on my instagram go to all my
332
pictures from before i was a rapper like i always been me i always been i always been
333
that nigga bro really just to be honest like i always had something going on
334
so a lot of the that these go through
335
when they become rappers and they get rap money i done already went through
336
that in the street with street money
337
so i already knew what to look for
338
when i started becoming a rapper
339
and getting rap money like i done already been through this
340
so i know the sign oh you gonna be a one
341
day cut you off right now know what i'm saying
342
so you had your circle tape before you you start getting rap money.
343
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
344
Does 21 Savage have any trust issues with people?
345
I don't really put people around me that I feel like I can't trust.
346
It's just the same people.
347
It's been the same people forever.
348
Shit been running smoothly the way it's been.
349
You ain't never really seen me with no incident.
350
My jury never got touched.
351
A nigga never ran up on me and punched me my whole career.
352
Nobody's never did shit to Savage his whole career.
353
And I done been to every city.
354
You know what I'm saying?
355
So I think I got a pretty tight unit.
356
Now let's talk a letter to my mama.
357
Yeah, a letter to my mama.
358
Why was that important to do?
359
You know, like, you know where we come from.
360
Struggling mother.
361
You know what I'm saying?
362
Trying to do her best to make you happy.
363
So it's like, I bought her a house.
364
I bought her all the cars she wants.
365
She got all the money she wants, but it's like, I wanted to just do something, like, fuck materialistic shit, like,
366
express myself to my mama, to the world.
367
You know what I'm saying?
368
Like, basically telling my mama how much I appreciate you, but instead of just saying it to her, I wanted to say it to the world.
369
How'd your mom react to it when she heard it?
370
She sent me some long-ass messages.
371
She's still sending them.
372
Oh, she just heard it?
373
She just heard it when the album came out?
374
Yeah.
375

How did that collaboration with Childish Gambino come about, Monster?
433
We was in LA.
434
It's crazy, because I wasn't even around when he did the song.
435
But we just be in the ...
436
When me and Childish get in the studio, we just don't do nothing but talk for some reason.
437
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
438
We don't never record.
439
All the songs we got, he recorded and then sent it to me.
440
But when we in the studio together, we just talked.
441
Matter of fact, he did the hook that night.
442
And then he sent it with his verse and the hook after he did what he did.
443
And I put my verse on it.
444
Y'all got a bunch of records together.
445
Yeah, we got some shit together.
446
How'd that vibe come about?
447
I mean, people don't know.
448
I guess they do know he's from Atlanta because of the show but he don't seem like an Atlanta nigger, so to speak.
449
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
450
You're a typical Atlanta artist, you would say.
451
I don't want to say typical, but, you know.
452
Nah, you could say typical.
453
He ain't just a typical Atlanta artist.
454
He's like, I look at him like Andre 3000.
455
That's like where I put Childish at.
456
He's like in his own world, in his own lane.
457
And he don't really do songs with a lot of people.
458
This is his first feature of the year.
459
Yeah. So, yeah.
460
So what do y'all be talking about?
461
Like, he want to get you into acting, movies, what?
462
Bro, we talk about everything, bro.
463
Like, yeah, acting, movies, money.
464
Money.
465
Like, I was just explaining to him, like, how I wanted my album to be.
466
He was just giving me, like, advice and shit on how I need to go about, like, fucking with other producers and,
467
you know, just putting my time into it type shit.
468
Shout out to Childish, man.
469
You say on that record the money and fame make a monster
470
so you think the money and fame has changed you for better or for worse?
471
Nah, I didn't seen it make monsters.
472
It ain't make me no monster.
473
I'm still the same nigga But you was a monster in the street though Yeah, but it wasn't cuz of no money though.
474
Mm-hmm.
475
I was a monster cuz of that iron Facts.
476
Yeah, we see all them pictures when you a kid with all them goddamn guns
477
Where was your pops when when when you going through that as a kid?
478
I don't know where he at, honestly.
479
He ain't been around.
480
Yeah, you said your daddy was never around.
481
That nigga too lame.
482
That's why you quit school and started to shoot things.
483
Yeah, yeah.
484
I ain't gonna lie.
485
I used to call my daddy.
486
I had my mama call my daddy.
487
I wanted a cell phone.
488
I was probably in like fifth grade, sixth grade.
489
He ain't really send no money as it is.
490
You know what I'm saying?
491
He didn't send shit.
492
Like school clothes, all that shit.
493
My little sister them daddy used to buy my shit.
494
You know what I'm saying?
495
Because he was with my mama.
496
So he'll buy everybody's shit.
497
So I just called him like, I just want a phone.
498
I just send me $100 a month, bro, so I can have me a little metro.
499
You know what I'm saying?
500
I'm in middle school now.
501
Everybody got phones and shit.
502
He didn't want, like, he sent $100 and then he just stopped sending the shit type shit.
503
So I started selling weed to get me a phone.
504
Shit like that
505
but i used i used to i ain't gonna lie i used to be hurt by
506
that like damn why my daddy won't fuck with me you know what i'm saying
507
but then as i got older it was just like really
508
you know what i'm saying i i get out here on
509
my own i'm a grown man now have y'all spoke since
510
since you i'm i ain't spoke to him since since sixth
511
grade sixth grade sixth grade i haven't said not one word to him
512
when i got shot he tried to call me i ain't even want to talk to him period straight up.
513
Did not having a father make you want to be a better father to your kids
514
so they don't end up running the streets like you did?
515
Nah.
516
I ain't gonna lie, that situation didn't affect, it didn't really affect nothing about me becoming a man.
517
I just wanted to be a father because I want to be a good father.
518
Because what he did, it affected me, but it really didn't affect me.
519
Because I didn't never have that.
520
If I would have had it and then it would have stopped, then it would have been like, okay, it might have changed me.
521
But I always knew how to fan without him.
522
So it was like, you really didn't affect me.
523
So if he came to you right now and was trying to tell you why he wasn't around, would you even want to listen?
524
Nah.
525
But I don't hate him, though.
526
But it's like, it's just like pointless at this point.
527
I'm 26 years old.
528
Like, I got three kids.
529
I'm doing kind of good for myself.
530
So it's like.
531
You felt like when you needed him, he wasn't there.
532
Right.
533
Like, I got shot.
534
You didn't even come to the hospital.
535
Nothing.
536
Yeah, fuck a phone call.
537
Come pull up on me.
538
On my birthday, my best friend died.
539
Like, nigga, this your son.
540
If my son get shot, I don't care where I'm at.
541
Bro, I'm on the way to my son.
542
You know what I'm saying?
543
It's like, when you on a car, what the hell?
544
You on a, what the hell? But shit, you know?
545
It is what it is.
546
How you deal with all this trauma, this trauma 21?
547
Like, I'm talking about seeing all your friends get killed, issues with your father.
548
Like, how do you deal with it?
549
I ain't gonna lie, bro.
550
Sometimes, like, late nights, I just cry like a motherfucker.
551
on like that's the honest to god truth like the other
552
day my partner just got killed little d like they facetimed
553
me juice my partner juice he he was on the phone with my little brother little harold
554
and he brought the phone in the room type shit
555
and at first he like sometimes like shit just it don't hit me
556
so it was like he said he was like little d dad i know who the hell Lil D is, but I just kept saying, who?
557
Where Lil D?
558
I knew what he was talking about, but I'm just trying to force him to say somebody else type shit.
559
But then, like a couple, like an hour after that, I just start, you know, you know how it be, you just start looking at pictures, the next thing, you know, you crying.
560
Call your mama, I was crying, because him and my mama were close too, you know what I'm saying?
561
Type shit.
562
I be crying sometimes.
563
Sometimes I get mad.
564
Sometimes I cry.
565
Sometimes I get mad.
566
It just be like shit, I don't know.
567
And I don't be wanting people to think that that's driven, like that drives me, that I be doing, talking about that type of shit to sell records.
568
Cause it's like, I don't know if it was up to me, I really wouldn't talk about it like that.
569
But I feel like other people in the world be going through what I'm going through.
570
So I'd rather like they have somebody who could, I could be like, okay, damn, he going through that same shit too.
571
You know what I'm saying?
572
The fact that you say that you cry though is good because a lot of people will never admit that they cry.
573
Now I don't cry, this, that, and the other.
574
That's a good thing.
575
So when you do get into those feelings, who's there for you?
576
Is your mom there?
577
Is that your ride or you take it on by yourself?
578
I box everybody out.
579
My mama be mad at me for that too.
580
I ain't gonna lie.
581
I don't know.
582
Every time I just don't want to talk to nobody.
583
This is what I do.
584
I will cry for a minute.
585
then in the middle of my cry I will call my mama
586
while I'm crying then I hang up on my mama
587
because she'll start talking I just hang up on my mom
588
and then I just not talk to nobody for like a day straight two days
589
and then it'll go away but it's like certain songs
590
that I listen to it bring
591
that back yeah it never goes away you just suppressing it that's all yeah
592
but like that young Jeezy
593
and Keisha Cole dreaming song mm-hmm I ain't gonna lie I don't care where i'm at
594
if that song come on i'm gonna cry you're gonna tear like not like boohoo
595
but tears gonna drop especially
596
if i'm by myself you should go to therapy man you
597
ever thought about it yeah i went to therapy for real
598
i ain't do how old were you man i was grown i was a rapper yo you
599
so this was recently this was probably 2016 what made you go what made you go See, look.
600
That's Lil D.
601
Damn.
602
Yeah.
603
Hell yeah.
604
Damn.
605
So you went to therapy in 2016?
606
Yeah, yeah, 2016.
607
My mama made me go.
608
You didn't like it?
609
They just be talking to you.
610
You supposed to be talking to them, though.
611
You supposed to be talking to them.
612
Getting it all out.
613
How many times did you go?
614
Did you just go once?
615
Yeah, once.
616
Nah, you gotta go more than once, man.
617
I ain't gonna lie.
618
The only thing to get it out, y'all know what gets it out.
619
Don't say the drugs.
620
Nah, it ain't the drugs.
621
What?
622
Y'all know what get it out.
623
That's the only thing gonna ever get it out.
624
It's common sense.
625
I don't wanna talk about that.
626
Revenge.
627
That's not productive.
628
It's the truth, though.
629
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, shit.
630
Other than that, I just gotta cry find a therapist find a therapist
631
that you can actually vibe with therapist like a good producer
632
you know what i'm saying you know how you find
633
that producer in the studio with that know your vibe with
634
that good engineer that know how your vocals supposed to sound you got to find a therapist like
635
that nah it don't work like
636
that charlie man it ain't no cure for pain that's true
637
so it's like therapy you can go to therapy
638
and trick your mind and make you think you better
639
because you talk to somebody for some hours and they woo side you
640
but i ain't doing
641
that i'm just gonna suck it up keep it pushing suck
642
it out you know what i'm saying that's the way what
643
i do it i i enjoy crying i'm gonna put it like
644
that i'd rather cry every now and then before i feel like i'm crazy
645
and i gotta go sit
646
and talk to somebody yeah no i ain't crazy i'm just hurt
647
when the motherfuckers hurt they cry absolutely cry get out the cries my only fear is you hold
648
that in too long and then something hurt somebody then you hurt somebody
649
because then you just let it all out on that one person
650
because it ain't anger it's pain yeah you know what i'm saying it's anger too it's anger too
651
but it's pain it's more pain than anger i'm more hurt than mad
652
because i told you i know what comes with it right i'm not mad
653
because i know what come with it but i'm hurt
654
that it had to be like i love those real emotions though because for
655
so long would be like oh yeah my partner dies cool
656
you know what i'm saying it's good like like nah i
657
ain't one of them i'd be hurt i ain't gonna lie
658
i love my partner them be my real partners like you
659
see i was 16 in my real day ones like me
660
and him used to he was the first ever let me drive his car
661
because he's three years older than me so
662
when i was 14 he was 17 out of school he
663
had a car he used to let me come take his
664
car drive to school pick up girl know what i'm saying
665
so it's like them my real partners my real real partners
666
so nah i'm crying about my real partner
667
if i don't cry about you i ain't really with you like
668
that that's just how i look at it i feel like you
669
and offset real partners y'all did the y'all did the um
670
the album together i think i was like last year yeah
671
he on this project on the 1.5 how y'all got
672
so take i know i said before you before i was
673
a rapper before he was a rapper too really well he was rapping
674
but he wasn't like established i met him through another one
675
of my dead partners sad to say look damn yep me
676
and low went to middle school together
677
and low they used to be doing this little jug pop
678
locking nah some other okay a little money scheme type shit like some new york type shit
679
but they used to be doing that
680
and um i was a trapper you know what i'm saying
681
but offset them used to come to my he used to come to my hood
682
and do hot a lot
683
so you know how he would just end up clashing somehow he was with um some little i knew
684
and we they um lo introduced us first
685
and then he started coming around them niggas
686
and they used to hang where we hung at type shit
687
and me and i said man
688
and he always with me like i was still in the street he was doing versace
689
and all that like
690
but he always we always still with each other like he
691
always still pull up right where you at like you know what i'm saying
692
so it just relationship just stayed up so
693
when you see all the success
694
that all of y'all are having how does it how does
695
it feel surreal like damn we really it feels surreal to me
696
because i seen his success first and then it was like damn i'm up here now too
697
type but i was just on the outside looking in like i was getting a little money but it's like
698
yeah this dude but i know him you know what i'm saying like i know him
699
but it's like damn this blew up and he was locked up
700
and when he got out he like damn savage then blew up type shit
701
so that was that's kind of what it was when did you feel like you finally made it
702
like what made you feel like a rap star
703
like a star i ain't gonna lie still don't feel like a rap star
704
i like honestly you wanna i don't know i don't feel like i'm where i want to be
705
until i'm where i want to be that's when i say i'm a star but right now
706
I don't feel like I'm thankful for where I'm at.
707
Don't get me wrong, but I don't feel like just a star yet.
708
I feel like I have potential to be a star though.
709
You know what I'm saying?
710
So when you say I am, what do you mean?
711
What is that?
712
I am greater than I was.
713
I feel like, for example,
714
my album release party was just in my hood. And that's me present.
715
That same hotel that we had my album release party at, I would have been selling crack at back in the day.
716
Know what I'm saying?
717
So that's why I feel like I am greater than I was.
718
Now where's the Travis Scott song?
719
Because everybody was saying that they were missing Travis.
720
Why are you holding that feature man?
721
What happened to that joint?
722
I ain't holding it man.
723
Travis sent it last night.
724
Oh okay okay okay.
725
I'm gonna keep it 100.
726
What song is it?
727
What levels will be on?
728
man that is so hard like Travis is crazy man y'all know how Travis is he's a perfectionist
729
type he's been working on that for a minute but he sent it last night and I was trying to get it,
730
but they was talking a whole bunch of shit that I don't understand.
731
Like what, you got a clarity?
732
Nah, it's codes and some other shit, but they gonna get it on there though.
733
That shit hard though, that shit too hard.
734
So is this a feature or a whole song?
735
Man, I ain't even gonna tell you what it is.
736
You gonna see though, it's some other shit.
737
You said also on that?
738
It ain't just no verse.
739
It's more than that.
740
I tell you that much that much.
741
You said on the album too you cross me once is fuck you forever.
742
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
743
So have you forgiven anyone for anything ever in life?
744
Hell nah.
745
I ain't gonna cap.
746
If you cross me, now if you did some dumb shit, yeah I forgive.
747
But if you cross me, like, no, boy your ass ain't getting forgave.
748
What do you consider crossing you?
749
Trying to harm me.
750
Trying to take me away from my family.
751
Trying to get me sent to jail.
752
Trying to take food out my family mouth.
753
Any one of those is detrimental.
754
Ain't no coming back from that yeah i ain't forgiven i never gave nobody for
755
that you got project pad on the album too
756
yeah what influence did three six have on you growing up
757
um honestly i ain't started listening to until i got older
758
but my like the ogs that i used to hang around that's all they listen to
759
so like i knew it
760
but i didn't really get into it till i was probably 16 17
761
but like coming up like that's all
762
that that's all i used to hear really three six mafia and um outcast like that
763
so it's like i knew the song but then
764
when i got older i really got into it
765
but project patch has always been hard to me he always
766
been him no matter what that's what that's what made me
767
like project pet like he always been memphis would go rapping about some memphis you know what i'm saying Absolutely.
768
What's the next evolution of 21, man?
769
Where do you go from here?
770
Oh, man.
771
Ain't no telling.
772
Ain't no telling.
773
The sky's the limit, really.
774
Shit.
775
I know niggas gonna start comparing me to everybody else, though.
776
All the other rappers that they trying to box me in with, remove me from that box.
777
Because I ain't nothing like these niggas.
778
Straight up.
779
Nah, 21 can rap.
780
I be saying that It's your flow
781
And your delivery man Like you really in pocket Like you
782
That's why I say Some people are gifted Some people aren't Like you can rap
783
Yeah Like some people can just But they be saying I'm a mama rapper though
784
That ain't true They ain't listening They ain't not listening You got bars They said it at first
785
But I don't think They still believe it
786
When you say she's telling pussy Herb
787
and JJ need a barcode Nigga that's bars Yeah You know
788
what I'm saying Yeah Like you snapping You got bars Yeah They gotta They gotta give me My credit for
789
that But I also think too because you from Atlanta, sometimes they can't understand the dialect.
790
They just say, oh, he a mumble rapper.
791
They do that with Kodak, just because they can't understand the dialect.
792
Kodak got boys.
793
That's what I'm saying.
794
They just slow, man.
795
They got to get up on game.
796
So the mumble rapper label bothers you?
797
Hell yeah, because it be like, man, rap, art, man, at the end of the day.
798
And it's a lot of, this the thing too, without an old nigga, new nigga shit.
799
I don't really look at no nigga as really an old nigga.
800
I look at you like you got an old mindset.
801
You know what I'm saying?
802
What you mean?
803
Like, when Tupac came out, right, I bet every dollar I own,
804
the generation before him was saying the same shit they were saying about us.
805
That's a fact.
806
You know what I'm saying?
807
But now he's a legend.
808
So it's like, y'all be quick to jump down our throat.
809
This is art.
810
So how the fuck can you tell me how to express myself at the end of the day?
811
You might want to express yourself that way.
812
You might want to say 50 million words as fast as possible with the most metaphors in the world.
813
That's your way of expressing yourself.
814
It ain't no right and wrong way to be a hip-hop artist.
815
You know what I'm saying?
816
This is all art.
817
This is all unique.
818
This is all he got his thing.
819
He got his thing.
820
If everybody wanted to be on some super rap shit Everybody would sound the same
821
Like it would be pointless
822
If that's the case we just need one rapper What's the point of having all these artists
823
If y'all want all of them to do the same fucking
824
thing You know what I'm saying They've never understood the South anyway though
825
So it's just like the same thing y'all going through now
826
Back in the day when it was OutKast and Goody Mob
827
And then T.I and Lil Jon
828
and whoever else They was always like alright they not saying nothing That's not real music south though they saying
829
that about every young rapper period
830
because everybody's looking from the south now i don't think it's really confusing i don't think that's the case anymore
831
because you got new york artists
832
that sound like they're from the south yeah you know they
833
mumble rappers you got you know it's just yeah they sound like they from the south
834
what's what's the south sound a beat because that's all the that well what they rapping about
835
they ain't rapping about no southern they just rapping on southern beats so it's like Like, you get your rappity rap ass on the southern beat, then.
836
Let's see if they say you sound like you from the south.
837
Know what I'm saying?
838
Absolutely.
839
Niggas got to stop doing that shit, man.
840
Just leave us the fuck alone.
841
Because obviously, what we doing, fans like it.
842
People like it.
843
They listening to it.
844
So, y'all say we doing something wrong.
845

この動画で身につけるスピーキングスキル

この会話からは、自然な会話のリズムやカジュアルな表現の使い方、相手の話に合わせた即応力を学べます。例えば、「I ain't even go to sleep」のような口語的な表現や、「You know I fuck with y'all」のような親しみのある言い回しは、日常会話で頻繁に使われるので、シャドーイングの練習に最適です。また、質問に対してストレートに答えながらも、軽いジョークを交えるテクニックも覚えられます。

聞き取りに注意すべき音のつながり

このビデオでは、英語の自然な発音の特徴である「リンキング」や「リダクション」がたくさん見られます。例えば、「got on the PJ」は「got on the PJ」というよりも「got on th' PJ」のように「the」の音が弱まり、「and shit」は「an' shit」となっています。また、「I had met J. Cole」の「had met」は「had met」ではなく「had met」というよりも「had met」の音がつながり、速く発音されています。これらの音のつながりを聞き取り、真似ることで、よりネイティブらしい発音に近づけます。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

ネイティブのように話すには、リズムとストレスを大事にしましょう。この会話では、21 Savageの話し方がとてもリラックスしていて、ストレスのかかる単語がはっきりと発音されています。例えば、「I stayed up for y'all」の「stayed up」は「stayed」が強く、「up」が弱くなっています。また、「We exchanged numbers and shit」の「exchanged」は「ex」が強く、「changed」が弱くなっています。これらのリズムとストレスを真似ることで、より自然な会話ができるようになります。シャドーイングサイトを使って、何度も繰り返し練習することが大切です。shadow speakの技術を磨くために、毎日少しずつ時間をかけて練習しましょう。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
