My music is reshaping pop culture ‘cause it’s Smokepurpp, nigga.
I do it all.
I reshaped it.
I rebuilt it.
I molded it, and then I threw that shit against the wall.
My life has changed.
It completely changed, it went from 0 to 100.
It's like way different.
A year ago from today I had just signed.
I didn't even have a big song out yet.
I didn't have money last year.
I'm rich now.
Nah, we need more echo.
More echo.
Ayy!
Ayyyyy!
Lil Purpp!
Ayy!
Yo yo yo!
I get so confused with the delays.
I go by the name of Don Krez.
DJ, producer, A&R, a bunch of stuff.
Can you put me a little higher here too?
Alright thank you.
What gravitated me to Smokepurpp's music was he had more of a mainstream sound.
‘Cause we were so into the underground scene.
I wanted to find a way to break into the mainstream and Purpp was a way.
I kept telling him "Fuck underground, you're mainstream, you're gonna be a superstar."
Look at him now.
This tour is important to me because I get to meet a lot of my fans that I've never met
before.
I get to go to places I've never been to before.
It's the Monster Outbreak tour and I'm headlining it.
All other past years, it's always the biggest breakout artists that are on there.
So it's crazy.
My name’s Nick Granatum.
I’m from Yonkers, New York, and I’m here to get lit with Smokepurpp.
I fuck with his music ‘cause it’s the high-tempo kinda thing.
His ad-libs is really fuckin’ lit.
Like you know, “Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Let’s get it all over the place!”
You feel me?
Like that shit is lit.
“Hop up in the Wraith, got stars up on the roof!"
"I be countin’ hunnids ‘til my fingers blue!”
“I don’t want friends, I want Audis.”
That’s like, that’s a mood.
I don’t want friends, I want Audis.
It’s great.
Before my shows, I eat lemon pepper wings and I scream “esskeetit!”
When you get extra lemon pepper, the “esskeetit” comes out extra smooth.
New York City y’all ready to mosh pit with me?!
Touring with Purpp is pretty fuckin’ crazy.
‘Cause there’s a bunch of stuff happening at the same time.
Fans, the business, the media.
I love touring with Smokepurpp.
Besides the lemon pepper wings, and me screaming “esskeetit,” I also stare at myself in
the mirror for two hours.
Then I move over to a new mirror, and I keep staring at myself.
This is still part of the process.
New York City, y’all ready for Smokepurpp?
I said y’all ready for Smokepurpp?!
Fuck J. Cole!
Before the show, they were chanting “Fuck J. Cole” because we are kids on drugs, bitch.
You know what’s going on.
Let’s do a countdown.
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5!
Becoming an artist changed my life because it’s lit.
I love everybody and I love every show.
He appreciates that he’s headlining.
He saw the groundwork that he had to do to get to where he’s at right now.
Everybody else is doing what the fuck they want.
And they’re not appreciating where they're at right now but he's appreciating it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
New York City what the fuck is up?!
Let me get a, “ESSKEETIT!”
“ESSKEETIT!”
When I scream “Esskeetit,” they be screaming that shit back crazy.
It makes me feel butterflies in my stomach.
It makes me feel…
Yo Purpp, we got something special for you.
Can you come out here?
We got a little special surprise.
ESSKEETIT!
That way, bitch.
Hey, hold up.
When this shit drop right here, I need y’all to lose your fuckin’ minds.
I need to see lights in the air.
Put your phone lights up!
Everybody put your phone lights up!
Ayy!
My show is really like a show.
Like it’s not just niggas on stage.
It's a show, I have three screens, I have the two small ones and then the big one, and
then it changes with the music.
So it's like a real show.
What the fans will see at one of Smokepurpp's shows, that I haven't seen in other people's
shows, what the reaction towards is hooks in his music and how crazy it'll go, mosh
pits.
A mosh pit was always a thing for the underground but his shit was more intense.
I’m the best.
I don’t give a fuck what y’all say.
People should come to Smokepurpp show ‘cause it’s fucking Smokepurpp.
Pull up.
You’ll see why.
You’ve seen why.
Make some fuckin’ noise!
New York, man.
I fuckin’ love y’all man.
Y’all always make me feel at home.
Forreal forreal.
Let me get a, “ESSKEETIT!”
