Cole on this song is such a no brainer.
When you're able to connect just on a human ... “I fuck with you on a human level,” you know?
That just opens up all of the ... “Man, what you wanna do?”
It's like a healthy boost of energy.
You just get that inspiration and Cole is one of those people for me.
Salaam and I, we have been ... He has this amazing home.
Every room, as soon as you walk in, it's mic’d for music.
We had been working upstairs for a while and it was my last day in Miami and I wanted to
get out, ‘cause nothing was really coming easy.
So we went downstairs, he gets on the drums and I'm playing guitar and we're just jamming.
It just felt like I was playing the way it was feeling that day.
I felt really dreary.
I felt like, “Man, this is kinda one of those days where I'm just like I don't really have no energy."
"Clouds is out. I just wanna smoke right now and just watch a really dope film.”
He was like, "Just talk."
"How do you feel?"
"Just talk."
He just kept saying that, "Just talk."
I'm like, "Nigga, I don't have anything to say."
There's nothing coming.
He's like, "Here."
He gives me the mic.
We loop the guitar that I've been playing for 15 minutes with nothing coming to my brain.
And the rest of it is really a freestyle.
I'm still a nerd.
Forever.
You know what I mean?
It's kind of, I guess my nerdy side making it's way into the music.
I celebrate that.
Gotta sprinkle a little in for the intellectuals.
You know?
If I wanna function and I have to be vocal and use my voice, I definitely have to vaporize
'cause actual weed smoke for me, I just can't... There's like ... D'Angelo can smoke.
Even like ... Bruno can actually smoke cigarettes and just murder.
I can't do it.
I wasn't built with those superhuman abilities.
Keeping the green on deck is always, always a necessity.
For the vegans out there.
You know what I mean, you know what I mean.
The post chant, right after the chorus, "I wanna fuck all night," is kind of paying homage to JD,
Dilla.
If you listen to ‘Welcome 2 Detroit' too, it's on there.
But I'm gonna make you listen to it, I'm not even gonna give you the song to listen to.
Always was one of those, that was my part.
Like, "Ahh say it. Clean it up. I wanna touch all night.”
That's like personality stuff.
That has always been fun.
It's the same part of my personality that's like in “Quickie.”
I’m being repetitive because I’m just freestyling.
I’m not thinking about it.
I’m just going with whatever is coming.
That’s pretty how it all came about.
It was really a rainy day.
Just telling a story.
Yeah.
Perfect for the Netflix and chill nights.
