YG Loses His Mind In The ‘Maniac’ Video From His Upcoming Album, ‘I Got Issues’

by

Even though YG’s latest single from his upcoming album I Got Issues is called “Maniac,” the accompanying video isn’t all that crazy at first glance. Then you see a guy in the back Blood walking in a “Thriller” jacket and you realize, “Oh yeah. Someone must have lost their mind.”

I kid, but YG’s new song and video are pretty typical of the material he’s put out from the new album so far. The Compton rapper subtly details the stressors that have been making his life “krazy” since even before he got famous (see what I did there?), and brashly reveals the effect getting rich and famous has had on them. He also shows off his increasingly polished wordplay skills, a facet of his artistry that has been overlooked and underrated for the past few years. Ever since he started writing his raps down, he’s had a plethora of clever turns of phrases like this one: “I put bands on heads, give you a headband, n****.”

The rollout for I Got Issues hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as YG wanted though. After dropping well-received singles like “Run” and “Toxic,” YG expressed his disappointment in Def Jam after the tracklist for the album — which features surprise features like Nas — was released prematurely.

Despite that snafu, though, anticipation for the album seems about where it should be and it looks like he’s on track for another well-performing project when I Got Issues drops on September 30. Pre-save it here.

YG Gets Explicit While Blasting Def Jam For Releasing His ‘I Got Issues’ Tracklist

Gone are the days when listeners had no idea what was going on behind the scenes with artists and their labels. Nowadays you can damn near find the ins and outs of legal disputes, leaked text messages, and borderline personal addresses. YG is the latest rapper to scold his label, Def Jam Recordings, for prematurely releasing his tracklist and, in turn, revealing his guest features without his consent.

The Compton powerhouse took to Twitter to colorfully express his frustrations. “DEF JAM BE HIRE’N PEOPLE TO F*CK UP. ALL THEY DO IS F*CK UP,” he shared Monday night, nearly a week before his expected release date on September 30th. “MY TRACK LIST FOR MY ALBUM IS NOT POSE TO BE OUT. THEY SUCK REAL BAD.”

The tracklist includes already released singles “Toxic,” “Scared Money” featuring J. Cole and Moneybagg Yo, and a new Nas collaboration, long awaited by YG on the song “No Weapon.” There are also features from a HER, Roddy Ricch, Post Malone, and others.

The good news is I Got Issues, YG’s sixth studio album, is set to hit the streets September 30th, leaving room to build just enough anticipation without losing momentum. The bad news is someone at Def Jam might be out of a job in a few days if they’re looking to appease YG.

At the risk of reading like a hip hop cliché… “it ain’t safe on the block.” Hopefully, Def Jam and YG can sort this out ahead of September 30th.

Roddy Ricch is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

YG is just a little over a week away from dropping his sixth studio album, I Got Issues. Per usual, the tracklist to this YG album boasts several hot collaborations.

So far, we’ve heard YG’s solo tracks, “Toxic,” and “Alone,” as well as “Scared Money,” a collaboration with J. Cole and MoneyBagg Yo.

A track called “Sober” contains appearances by Roddy Ricch and Post Malone. “No Weapon,” which features Nas, is a collaboration that comes after years of manifestation, he revealed to TMZ in a recent interview.

“I didn’t rap with him,” he said. “He did his sh*t in his studio, he sent it. It was crazy ’cause I’ve been trying to get Nas on some sh*t for years. I was trying to get him on my second album and sh*t, but it just didn’t happen. But he’s been showing love since day one, he always supported my sh*t and all that. So when I finally got the verse, I was like, ‘Finally.’”

Check out the tracklist below.

1. “Issues”
2. “Baby Momma”
3. “Toxic”
4. “Maniac”
5. “How To Rob A Rapper” Feat. Mozzy and D3szn
6. “I Dance” Feat. Duki and Cuco
7. “Scared Money” Feat. J. Cole and MoneyBagg Yo
8. “Go Dumb” Feat. H.E.R.
9. “No Love”
10. “Sober” Feat. Roddy Ricch and Post Malone
11. “Drink To This”
12. “No Weapon” Feat. Nas
13. “Alone”
14. “Killa Cali”

YG Says He ‘Wasted’ Half A Million Dollars On His ‘Run’ Video

YG has taken Nipsey Hussle’s advice from “Last Time That I Checc’d” and run with it, taking control of his music and career as he comes up on his final album under his Def Jam contract, I Got Issues. He’s going out with a bang, too, blowing the budget on singles like “Toxic,” “Alone,” and “Run” — especially the latter, as he told HipHopDX during a recent listening session for the album in Los Angeles.

“I waste a lot of money on videos,” he said. In fact, for “Run” he admitted he spent, “like, half a million out of my own pocket. And I’m mad because I thought the song was gonna be this crazy hit, and it’s not. I wasted my money.” He said there was a consolation though: “They say millionaires invest hundreds of thousands into themselves and billionaires invest millions into themselves,” he reflected. “I’m at the point where I’m investing millions into myself, so I should be a billionaire one of these days.”

Like the man said, “‘Scared Money‘ don’t make no money.” Should his investment in himself pay off the way he expects we might just be looking back and marveling at his foresight.

I Got Issues is out 9/30 via Def Jam.
