This is Ugly God, you feel me,
and you're watching "Mind Massage."
(clapperboard snaps)
Shh!
I feel like everything, or evolution, or just adapting
always comes with change, you feel me?
I went through some things,
I went through my bumps and bruises.
Everybody has their own bumps and bruises.
I fell into like a year-and-a-half long depression
which was super.....ass.
I went through some shit, some real personal shit
I'm about the fucking open this up
These one of them LA rich n*gga first aid
kits 'cause the ones that just pop the
fuck open not this extra shit
(crackling)
I'm looking for the band aids that I
want to put one on my face like I'm Nelly n*gga.
(crackling)
(ripping band aid open)
Got to put it on the right side, you feel me?
So you know where I'm coming
Let me see it, fuck! Did I fuck it up?
Bumps and bruises n*gga
Fuck!
(flicks lighter)
I'm real big on energy and you know
it takes some energy, it's everything
it affects everything, you know?
So good energy
(singing bowl sounds)
When I was going through what I was going through
I started leaning more towards spirituality
and I'm a real spiritual person like energy,
anything just spiritual
A word I kept seeing pop up was introspective
you know? I dove into it and it just a good
definition like overall for what I was going through
(Singing bowl sounds)
You know as a direct result for me introspective
is um I take care of myself more, I make sure I
get enough sleep, I eat differently, I work out,
I drink a lot of water, I cut soda, I don't
eat to much candy and overall making me a
healthier person physically and mentally
(singing bowl sounds)
I don't even need to go around that one,
that was just beautiful
(singing bowl sounds)
It's like a doorbell or something
For one to even go through change or evolution
or just overall being a better person
anything that could potentially be, you know, a distraction
or you know, be in the way whether it be people,
video games, social media, mine personally was
social media. You cut that out and just work
on you, really.
I had to grow as a person, I was looking back
at my interviews and just overall there's a lot
of stuff that I said or like acted like, being
young that I really wouldn't do anymore so I
didn't want to put out that same energy
(singing bowl sounds)
It's like what keeps me humble and level is always
realizing at the end of the day, I'm still human
me going through what I went through really
brought me back down to earth. There's, you know,
hella people that go through the same shit or
might go through similar shit, I don't care too
much about people talking shit about me but I do
care bout how people perceive me because I do
care about my image at the end of the day.
(flicks lighter)
So um .... a way I do stay humble, I do ask my fans
and supporters, not really fans but I say supporters
I ask them what was their least favorite song in
the album 'cause it was different body of work
I put out way different than my older stuff.
I wanted to see if there was a universal answer
or like if there wasn't a certain song that like
the majority wasn't fucking with. The fact that
I'm asking myself, I know sometimes it comes off
as a gimmick but people know that I'm being
genuine and I'm a genuine goofy ass n*gga like
playing Pokemon and stuff, me playing Mario.
I wouldn't say it wasn't cool before me doing it.
I made a nerdy n*gga feel like, you know
we in this bitch, you know?
(laughs)
(hits hammer against iron)
We gonna do the highest pitch, fuck it.
(hits hammer against iron)
I fuck with that one
I've got an idea, if I had to make a song
these they'll be my hot hands, this is going to be
my bass right here, where the snare at?
Oh this is going to be my snare
(flicks lighter)
Ooh!
(makes a beat)
On this interview, who the fuck is you
yeah, I'm with my crew, I do what I do
N*gga you ain't ready for that shit, n*gga
I'm talking about n*gga with straight bars
n*gga, fuck what they talking about, n*gga
straight bars, lyrical zen n*gga
My music really is three types of things but
it's levels to this shit so I'm explaining the
levels to this shit.
First I realize this is my job, like my job
is to make fucking music, all the other bullshit
is having fun and doing whatever the fuck. The
business side you know that's not my thing.
Making music is what the fuck I do, it becomes
a rhythm. It's like waking up everyday, it
becomes a rhythm to work everyday, it
becomes systematic whenever you make it a rhythm
your work becomes easier for you an then when it becomes
easier for you, you have fun, it's a hobby.
(flicks lighter)
I just fucking love this fucking smell so fucking
much, bruh.
I need some more for the crib, yeah, I'm taking
this with me, what the fuck are y'all talking about?
I have the bumps and bruises, which is you know
parts I that got released after, you know, finally
coming out and being comfortable with dropping music
or dropping, you know, comfortable with being
back on the internet and showing my face
I'm already working on my next project, I was
working on my next project while I was working on
'Bumps & Brusises', some songs, you know, they
best fit the bumps and bruises you know so we
gotta put them in a stash.
This is Ugly God, I'd probably never do this
weird ass shit again, whispering,
it's just not my thing, I'm not allowed to think
about this whispering shit, it's not my
thing, you feel me so, peace out.
Hope you liked the video.
Shhh!
