NBA Youngboy Gives Surprising Answer To Question About Rod Wave Collab

by

Earlier this week NBA Youngboy sat down for an interview with Bootleg Kev for his podcast. During the interview, the rapper gave a number of strange and attention-grabbing answers to questions. One of which was when he revealed that he’s not “really big” on the idea of fatherhood as a concept. Some fans found that pretty surprising as he has 11 different children. But others used that same fact as proof that the statement makes a lot of sense.

In another clip from the interview, he discusses a potential collaborative project with Rod Wave. The Florida rapper and singer has a pretty big year on the back of his new album Nostalgia. Youngboy had plenty of praise for Rod as well. “That’s somebody who will be forever winning in the game. I think he love what he do. I think he’s so positive. I think he’s so taking in to the people of how he feel,” he said of Rod Wave. But when asked about a collaboration between the two, he didn’t think it was the right time for a surprising reason. “I think that would be a setback for him. My image f*cked up. I think I gotta stay in my own lane,” he replied. Check out the full interview below.

He did have some more normally interactions during the interview though. in one segment he cosigned Opium rapper Destroy Lonely.

NBA YoungBoy’s Friend Seemingly Disses Gillie & Wallo, Claims Only Bootleg Kev Interview Was “Approved”

by

Earlier this week, Bootleg Kev dropped his interview with NBA YoungBoy, which saw the 24-year-old rapper dissect his public image atop “Gravedigger Mountain.” YB shared the interview on YouTube alongside a message thanking Kev, writing, “I don’t want to be seen high and messed up.” This prompted some speculation among fans, who thought he could have been suggesting he was under the influence in other recent interviews, and didn’t want them to come out.

Now, a post from one of YB’s associates has only compounded this speculation. Herm Tha BlackSheep took to his Instagram Story yesterday to comment on the Bootleg Kev interview, claiming that it was the “only interview” YB “approved to drop.” Many commenters perceived this as shade towards Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267, who just chatted with the Baton Rouge native on their Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast.

Herm Tha BlackSheep On NBA YoungBoy Interviews

“A lot of people like to have gangster energy with him,” Herm Tha BlackSheep wrote. “Instead of the people who actually killed they seed sh*t cr*azy. But ok.” Countless fans are chiming in, with many claiming that if YB didn’t want his Million Dollaz Worth Of Game interview to be released, he shouldn’t have done it in the first place. While it’s possible that YB didn’t want the interview to drop, it did have some standout moments. For one, YB told Gillie and Wallo that he feels as though he hasn’t been given a “fair shot.” According to him, he hasn’t ever been viewed as anything other than “uncivilized.”

He also hit the two hosts with a deep question of his own. He asked them what makes them happy, prompting some compelling responses. What do you think of Herm Tha BlackSheep’s comments on NBA YoungBoy’s recent interviews? Do you think his post was a jab at Gillie and Wallo?

EST Gee wasn’t feeling the line of questions in an interview with Bootleg Kev, so he dipped out on the podcast. Hitting Instagram, EST Gee revealed he didn’t leave because of being asked about his football past, as Kev suggested, instead due to questions about aliens and pornstars.

“@bootlegkev You tryna play it like I walked out cause of football like ain’t did plenty interviews talking about playing and talk about it in my music,” EST Gee wrote on his Instagram story.

“You asking me if I remembered an old man pornstar,” EST Gee typed. “If I believe in aliens and the NFL combine????? WTF do that got to do with my album dropping Friday? And I literally just walked out that interview 2 hours ago you already got a clip up??? You tryna go viral LOL 100.”

EST Gee closed with, “I got real life shit going ask around ion feel like playing so please don’t play with me cause I play crazy.”

In response, Kev stated he is still a fan of EST and is looking forward to the album dropping. “I also can’t wait to talk about Brian Pumper, Aliens, and Football with future guests,” Kev wrote.

Kev also wrote on Twitter that EST Gee’s team stated the rapper did not only want to talk about typical items like music and also went into his punctuality. “He came 90 minutes late (which isn’t unique with some artists) and didn’t ever really seem to want to talk or be interviewed. I don’t care, I’m still a fan of his music and we got a moment out of it for the Internet. No hard feelings.”

Soulja Boy recently revealed in an interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast that he was in talks with Ice Spice before she blew up. He also shared that he enjoyed seeing the “Munch (Feelin’ U)” rapper‘s career take off. Soulja later went on to discuss a possible collaboration with Ice Spice.

Soulja Boy said, “I like Ice Spice, I ain’t gonna cap.” “They gonna be like, ‘He picked a girl,’ but yeah, she new, she popping, I like what she doing. On gang, I found out about her before she got popping off,” he added. He then revealed, “I was talking to her and her shit just took off. I like seeing shit like that, like a muthafucka just be under the radar and then just take off. I like seeing shit like that.” When Bootleg Kev asked whether he would consider working alongside Ice Spice, he responded, “Hell yeah!” Revealing that, “We already talked. I be talking to her.

Soulja Boy Wants To Collab With Ice Spice

In her April cover story for Paper, Ice Spice revealed that her father, a fellow rapper, played a big role in her career. “He definitely inspired me to want to record,” she said. “I remember being in the studio with him. I was a toddler, probably. And I remember little flashes. Of course, not every detail, but small things like that being shown to you at such a young age make an impression on you.” She went on, saying, “Subconsciously, I ended up becoming an artist because I saw my father be one first. He’s a music lover himself. He’s a true Hip Hop head, beyond me, honestly. He knows everything. He’s always educating me on Hip Hop and shit like that.”

Earlier today, it was alleged that a fan who slid into Ice Spice’s DMs got cooked by the “Princess Diana” rapper. She shot the thirsty fan down quickly, simply responding with, “small ass dreads and no Nike tech.” Last week, Ice Spice was also seen in the streets of New York shooting a new music video.

Swae Lee Says He Would Choose Trump Over Biden In The 2024 Election: ‘He Freed Kodak, He Freed Wayne, He Tapped In’

by

Former President Donald Trump may not have the stamp of approval from the late rapper Tupac’s family, but he did earn one from Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee. During an interview on the Bootleg Kev Podcast, while discussing Slim Jxmmi’s move to Miami, Florida, the conversation took a right turn into politics.

Lee shared that the main reason he moved to Miami and eventually convinced Jxmmi to follow him was the tax benefits. “It’s tax-free — so, you’re making a lot of money, but you’re giving half of your money to Uncle Sam,” said Lee before diving into his disdain for Biden’s allocation of American tax dollars.

“You’re giving half of your money away to Joe Biden for him to send that sh*t over to another country,” declared Lee, referring to American financial aid to Ukraine, “He got [Ukraine straight before he got his own country straight. I don’t really agree with that.”

When the host asks if he would vote for Trump if he decided to run for re-election in 2024, Lee answers, “If I had to choose between the A and the B, I’d definitely go with Trump over Biden for sure.”

As the camera panned to Slim Jxmmi to document his answer, he said, “I choose not to speak on politics.”

To which the host responds, “You’re a smart man.”

Lee goes on to add that taxes weren’t the only thing that played a part in his decision. “He freed Kodak [Black]. He freed Wayne. He tapped in.” Lee’s comments referred to Trump’s providing rappers Kodak Black and Lil Wayne with presidential pardons near the end of his term.

Black took to Twitter to thank Trump after his release, writing, “I want to thank President Donald Trump for his commitment to justice reform and shortening my sentence,” following the release of his song, “Last Day In.”

Watch the full clip above.

Kodak Black is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Cassidy On His Impact: “I Made It More Competitive”

by

Cassidy says that he made hip-hop more competitive and lyrical. He discussed his impact on the culture during an interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast while reflecting on the studio session for “6 Minutes.” The New York rapper also argued that his 2005 hit single, “I’m a Hustla,” inspired tons of other songs at the time, including 50 Cent’s “I Get Money.”

“I was in New York, and Wayne came through,” Cassidy began. “I was in the studio with Fab a lot back then; so Fab came through the studio. Like, we really locked in. We wasn’t really like sending records or nothing like that. We really locked in and made it happen. I was the one that put that record together. It wasn’t like a label thing or something like that.”

He continued: “I knew Wayne was rapping at the time and I knew that Fab was rapping at the time so if all of us came and went crazy like that, no hook, it don’t even gotta be about no hook, tryna make a hit record, I know we can do that. That’s easy. But, just talking about spitting, and I knew that would make a mark, so that’s why I wanted to put that record together. I think ever since I came out, I just changed the trajectory of how shit was going. I made it more competitive, made you have to be more lyrical, made you have to have more punchlines and lyrics, and piece up more syllables just to sound like you was spittin’. Because before, you ain’t have nothin’ else to compare it to, but when you can listen to me doing it like this, if you supposed to be lyrical, you gotta be doing it to a certain level. So around that time I came out, you started to see a lot of people change.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Cassidy discussed collaborating with R. Kelly while admitting he regrets not getting to know him better. He also recalled a wild story about DMX showing him a scorpion.

Cordae Questions Bootleg Kev About Not Making His Top 10 Rappers Or Albums Lists

by

There are so many “Top” lists floating around in Hip Hop it’s hard to keep up, but Cordae has a few questions for Bootleg Kev. The most recent controversy was sparked after Billboard and Vibe came together to name their Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time. This took over Hip Hop social media spaces, but it isn’t the first—and most certainly won’t be the last—time conversations such as these erupt online.

Cordae caught up with Bootleg Kev for an intimate interview, and during the chat, he brought up the host’s Best Rappers of 2022 choices. The list consisted of the following, from 10 to the No. 1 spot: LaRussell, Future, Conway, Symba, Drake, Freddie Gibbs, Kendrick Lamar, J.I.D, 38 Spesh, and reigning supreme, Pusha T. “Also, how did I not make your Top 10 list last year, bro?” Cordae asked. “It’s cool, I’m just asking.” Kev wanted to know if he was speaking about the rappers or album lists. “Damn, I didn’t make either!?” the rapper playfully responded.

Cordae Questions His Exclusion

“I mean, it was a good year last year. I didn’t think you had a Top 10 album [From a Bird’s Eye View] last year. I think you had about a Top 20,” said Kev. Cordae expressed he respected the answer and emphasized he wasn’t in his feelings about the exclusion. Kev added, “And on the rapping sh*t, I just think the rapping list was tough, man. There was a lot of rapping.”

As conversations were happening between Kev and someone off-camera, Cordae chimed in. “Ay, a lotta love to everybody, man. I’m not—I just…I didn’t even know until he told me right before we walked in. ‘You know you ain’t make Kev’s Top 10?’ It’s cool, bro.” Kev said several people he considers friends, including Benny The Butcher, didn’t even make his list.

Bootleg Kev Explains His Choices

“My thing, like, last year, I put a guy like Symba on the list ’cause Symba did the rapper sh*t last year,” Kev explained. “That motherf*cker did every outlet. He had moments on these f*ckin’ outlets. When I saw Symba like, ‘Yo, I’m tryin’ to make sure y’all see me as the motherf*cker. So, I’mma go rap everywhere.’ And he put out a cool project.” Kev admitted that Symba had a bone to pick after his album didn’t make Kev’s Top 10 list, either. Check it out above.
