1
Wait, this might be wrong.
2
They fucked that up.
3
I spent years mixing this shit, and you don't understand what I'm saying?
4
It's lit.
5
I think it's like an ad lib, man.
6
Maybe antidote?
7
I feel like it might have been antidote.
8
I was so turnt this day and excited.
9
It's the first thing that came to my mind.
10
And I think I screamed it so loud, it sounded like I was yelling in a high -pitched voice.
11
And yeah, I haven't let it go since.
12
Wow.
13
Butterfly effect.
14
Song special.
15
I made this song about a special someone.
16
And yeah, they lived off in the hills.
17
in LA, or Calabasas, or where the fuck?
18
Pulled out of the hood Toyota, drove back to the hood Lambo.
19
Beeps in a trap.
20
That Toyota is what got me through a couple months, because I didn't really even have a car like that.
21
It was a shitbox, but I drove it, I wrecked it, spare tire, no tire, ride no rims,
22
putting water in the whatever the fuck that shit is.
23
And then after that I was like, you know what, my friends drove me around everywhere.
24
And also my only Dozie had a Toyota Corolla that he used to pick me up, and thank you, Dozie.
25
And now, yes, we're going back in Lamborghinis, which is cool.
26
We fuck by his cars and just like look at him and shit.
27
Don't touch it.
28
Man, you gotta drive that shit.
29
To me, the beginning of the song is like psychedelic and supposed to be euphoric.
30
It takes you through some sort of form of ecstasy.
31
Not the drug, but just the feeling of seeing what you're trying to do and then life hits you.
32
This is the first song on Astero, and writing that lyric is like the second half of the song,
33
like when it drops, and I really wanted to create this feeling of high energy
34
and the travels that I've taken to get to where I was at, and meeting people along the way,
35
you're like, man, if you just knew what I've seen or the struggles I went through, you'll probably like oh my god you know what I'm saying like this is
36
so crazy how are you even here today
37
to now seeing you know at shows you know thousands you
38
know hundreds of thousands of people you know I'm doing stadiums
39
and stuff now like that are there to actually like you know rage
40
and have the best time ever
41
so you know it was good to see like the travels
42
I took are inspiring someone I feel like everyone can relate to you know coming from somewhere
43
that might not been the the best situation, or what maybe you thought wasn't the best situation, and you always wanted to inspire to do something greater for yourself or for your family.
44
So I think, in general, people can relate with that.
45
Cuddy was like that artist for me, where I was listening to his music, I was like, man, I feel like he's living in the same type of house as me, like, are we standing in the same crib, bro?
46
It's crazy, I feel like our lives are similar.
47
And so, I was just listening through that, that was getting me through every day, and it's like, okay, if he can make it to the other side, so can I.
48
And so it's important for me to at least have something that people can relate to.
49
So given that sort of insight, hopefully they can come out the other side of the spire.
50
Fiend.
51
Went on tour for two and a half years and people got an understanding of what I meant by Fiend.
52
And just the energy.
53
But yeah, that was like a beat I made, and my whole intentions behind even just when I made the beat
54
and made the song was to see it come alive like that.
55
So to even see it like actually connecting my love was just fucking exciting.
56
Kicking the cameraman off my stage is like, I snapped my ankles.
57
Yeah.
58
Antidote.
59
I had the song done, and I had two verses on it.
60
It's like, oh, I actually need a rap verse.
61
Then I actually did this Hot 97, I think it was, when they had me performing, you know, outside the stadium, you know, beginner artist stages.
62
And I think people don't understand, like, I don't like cameras.
63
And especially I don't like cameras on stage while I'm performing, and it's more so like an artistic thing.
64
It's like, this stage is meant to be set up a certain way, and obviously when you go to these like, radio shows, it's a bunch of like, everyone's trying to get content, you got people all on the stages, but...
65
I've always wanted to set a tone of performance
66
and my performance of what I expect on any stage that I want to be on.
67
Maybe how I did it to the guy might have been the right way, and I fuck with him, I know he's just doing his job.
68
When I'm in that mode on stage, I'm just like all adrenaline.
69
Yeah, you know, I fuck with that guy, no harm.
70
She fought through plenty, her and her guineas, we're at the top floor right there off the knees.
71
Wow.
72
Ah, Goosebumps.
73
Yeah, this is the apartment I had in LA on Doheny.
74
It's actually the apartment that I recorded Goosebumps in.
75
You know, I was going through something and I literally just made that album.
76
And it was like a therapy session for myself.
77
So yeah, I literally went in the room and I did the song and I was like, yeah, but yeah, that apartment, you know, is how the Goosebumps came alive.
78
I used to live up in the Seven, now I bought Two Streets.
79
It's from a song called Father, my brother Ye.
80
I'm from the 713, Houston, Texas.
81
Now I have a couple of streets there, which is a blessing.
82
Which is cool about this song is that we did this in Japan.
83
We cooked this song on the spot, like random, just right there, and Ye just had this verse in his brain.
84
Like, oh, I gotta get this off.
85
And, you know, in our careers, it's interesting to see, like, you know, all the things he taught me from a mentor, from a music standpoint.
86
So now, like, bringing that and sharing it together on the record is, you know, it's fucking ill.
87
A trick to break the walls of Troy.
88
Yes.
89
Yeah, this is the sixth line in the movie The Odyssey.
90
Also, part of the original song, which I'm so happy that I am a part of.
91
And especially for a film like this, even to be in the movie is amazing.
92
I'm pretty sure all these people are straight thespians, something I aspired to be when I was a kid.
93
To go through that zone and process to see how they work
94
and things come to life and
95
and how they treat waking up at 5 a .m and leaving at 5 p .m or 3 p .m., whatever it is, every day,
96
even just the things that they went through, shooting that movie, everything's so real.
97
I praise what they do.
98
It actually took me to another place like, okay, wow, yeah, this isn't the studio.
99
Chris called me, he was like, yo, you think you wanna be in a movie?
100
I'm like, yeah, you know what I'm saying?
101
I said, man, I'm about to start shooting.
102
You know, this movie called The Odyssey, like I got this idea, you know, it's telling me about, you know, the bard role and, you know, how the connection between, even just being an artist and,
103
you know, through rap, it's like a form of like, in some sense, like poetry and I'm like, okay, but what's the idea?
104
He's like, well, I want you to open it.
105
I'm like, all right, bro.
106
He's like, well, just come pull up on me, like, you know, you come see if you're down to do it.
107
I'm like, of course I'm down to do it.
108
I don't give a fuck what it is, and I was just a little bit thrown off by it.
109
And I showed up the first day, and I'm thinking, it's just going to be me, him, a couple extras, maybe a couple castmates.
110
Nah, it was everybody.
111
And I was like, fuck.
112
When I saw the film in IMAX for the first time, I mean, it was wild.
113
Me and my guy David was kicking me, he was like, what the fuck?
114
I'm like, bro, shut up.
115
Me in a movie, he's like, this is crazy, but even me, I'm like, oh, this is insane.
116
All of these hoes I made records I produce, all of these hoes, they fucked that up.
117
All of these hoes, like zeros, like dollars, dollar amounts, I made off of these records I produce, which is also like a play on hoes.
118
I might take all my exes and put them all in the group.
119
You know, The Sickle Mode is like another one of those songs where like from a beat standpoint, you know, shout out my boy OZ, man, and my boy Tay Keef.
120
Yeah, you know, that song was always like in a sense like special, you know what I'm saying?
121
Just from a beat standpoint.
122
I always felt like it's kind of like Fee and I had that song on the album.
123
It's just like one of my faves, you know, it was just one of my faves, you know.
124
Whether it connected or not, I just thought it was going to be real.
125
i think i'm shitting on you but i barely farted um this is houston fornication i believe right
126
Oh, not Hooch.
127
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
128
Yeah, it's one of those Grails that had an Apple Music radio show that I was dropping music on.
129
It's one of those songs.
130
This is one of those times where I do a song and I'm like, yo, I gotta put it out tomorrow.
131
And that was one of them.
132
So last day to the radio, last night had me down in the back, comatose.
133
Wait, this might be wrong.
134
It's the last days to the rodeo, last night had me down in the back on my toast.
135
This is Mamacita.
136
It's the last days to the rodeo, last night had me down in the back on my toast.
137
Oh, it's not in the back.
138
See this is why I like, by the way too, a lot of my lyrics are wrong on Genius
139
and I used to like call them all the time, like after my albums come out, they used to be like, yo bro, it's like totally wrong.
140
I don't get how y 'all get other people's lyrics right
141
that like I'm fans of them
142
but I know off rip you can't understand them like you
143
got to really know the lingo to catch these lyrics like how are y 'all getting this shit
144

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
