On “Prescription/Oxymoron”, and putting so much of his personal life in his music:

The Source: What do you think—

Q: I’m not scared to put my real life in there like a lot of rappers. Five, six albums in and you still don’t know nothing about their life. You just know they rap good. They crack, but you still don’t know, like, who is this n***a grandma, who’s his uncle, what block he come from. How much was the sodas when he was a kid, you know what I’m saying? N***as don’t put that type of s**t in their music. Everybody’s a mobster now. They got the Vaseline, they got the dope, they got the burner, like who you got the burner from though? How many shots were in the burner? When the cops came what did you do with the burner, you get what I’m saying? What’s your momma name? What’s your homie name, where’s the park that you caught a fade at? Nobody’s going in depth with it like me. Only other n***a doing it like that is YG.

On what he hates about the current state of the rap game:

Q: I don’t sound like nobody, bro. From beats to ad-libs to verses, nobody. Even the way I dress. I’m the first Crip n***a you ever seen in Givenchy and Balmain.

The Source: Mmhm.

Q: And rappers, they know who to say s**t about.

Q: Like, all these rappers talking s**t about Macklemore because of the text, but they wouldn’t be saying that s**t if I sent the text out. Or if Maino sent the text out. Bruh, if Maino sent the text out and put it on Instagram, n***as would be quiet. They wouldn’t say nothing.
