Southside: I’ma tell you something, he ill…
We gotta little trick he do.
‘Cause he bodies everybody on features so what we do is now...
I rap so fast, I’ll do a song in 5 minutes.
6 minutes.
I’ll do 8 bars and let him feature on the song.
And then mute myself and
G Herbo: Mute himself and make me go over his 8.
So he’ll write 8 and I’ll come in after him and it’ll help me record songs now.
Like now I’ll record songs like 20, 30 minutes.
Go over my 8 bars or I might steal…
Southside: Don’t steal that trick.
G Herbo: Yeah don’t be trying to bite our shit.
G Herbo: When we first got in, we started in Atlanta and that’s when I did some of
the first records.
He making me freestyle like that’s when I was still writing.
I used to be in the studio writing a verse for an hour and a half, two hours.
You feel me?
No bullshit ‘cause I’m taking my time.
He like, “Nah shorty we ain’t got time for that."
"We paying $1000 a night, $1500 a night for this studio."
"Yo ass about to hurry up and lay this right now.”
G Herbo: First car we was getting, we was wild.
We was in the streets.
We knew we was finna have speed and all kinds of shit so we wasn’t even getting cars in
my name.
My first fast car that I got, it was a straight 8.
That’s all we wanted was straight 8’s.
This before I was even making rap money, like 17, 18.
G Herbo: A meat roll.
A big ol’ wad of money.
That’s what we call it.
Chicago slang.
You might see me in a peacoat.
I could have a Draco under there.
You never know man.
Don’t underestimate me.
Legal dracos.
At an early age, 6, 7, I looked up to my dad a lot.
You know, he had a lot of money.
He was having nice cars.
You know what I’m saying.
Kept me in the best clothes.
I had a lot of heroes.
Man a lot of my heroes was like street niggas.
I ain't gonna lie, like niggas on the corner.
I was up against everything.
We was up against broke, poverty strucken.
I’ve been shot, been to jail, dropped out of school.
All the odds was against me, you feel me?
I turned them around and made the best of my situation so you can too.
G Herbo: I was like 16.
I got shot in the foot and the bullet actually grazed my hat.
Like not my head, but it knocked my hat off.
Like I could have literally got shot in the head.
I had a bullet hole in my hat.
For me to get grazed in the head and I got all this extra body and all I got shot in
was the foot, so that had to be God work.
I could have been hit anywhere else up here.
It could have been fatal.
Anything.
It was a foot shot.
It was a good shot.
I was in the house.
I live on the 50th floor, big ass penthouse.
I don’t know how to cook.
My girl was out of town somewhere.
I ain’t feel like going to a restaurant.
I ain’t have nothing to cook like on some quick shit.
I’m hungry.
I made some oatmeal and a bagel.
I’m just looking out the window like, “Damn I remember this was all I had to eat.”
G Herbo: Sometimes I have like a 30, 40 thousand dollar check from YouTube coming in a month,
you feel me?
Just from revenue.
And that could pay 10 rents, you feel me?
Everybody will make money if you got your business in order.
There’s a lot of money out here to be made out here for everybody.
G Herbo: Everything that I say in my raps is fiction.
No non-fiction.
This is real faction.
