- What's up, what's up, all my lovely people out there?
Thank you for joining me
for another week of The Justina Valentine Show.
So without further ado,
I wanna bring out my guest for today.
She's been rapping since the age of 10,
you may remember her from winning
season one of The Rap Game.
She is a certified bad bitch
and you've definitely heard her fire track,
"Bitch from the South."
Y'all give it up for Mulatto!
- Mulatto!
(laughing)
- Hey, what's up? - We're trending.
- How are you? - Hey girl, I'm good.
- Thank you so much for comin' through today, babe.
We appreciate you.
I wanna definitely talk about
'cause I was so hyped watchin' this,
like, I was hyped for you and I just had to ask you
how it felt, you really reposted Rihanna
doing a Instagram Live.
She was dancin' to your song.
- Period! - "Bitch from the South,"
period, and it was like, I'm like, oh my gosh,
like, this is so epic, like,
Rihanna dancing to your song, saying the lyrics.
Like, I just gotta ask you, what did that feel like?
- Man, that was crazy, like,
I was on stage when it happened.
My manager had tapped me while I was on stage
and was like, I don't even remember
word for word what he said,
but I'm like, (bleep), you can't just
tell me some (bleep) like that I'm on stage!
Like-- (laughing) - Right.
Your manager was like, look,
I know you killin' it on the stage,
but your fans can wait-- - Right, hold on.
- Hold on, because Riri just--
- Hold on, Riri on Live listenin' to your song,
I think you need to know that right now.
- Crazy, did you like,
did you say something to like your fans,
or were you just like? - Yeah, what did I say?
I said something like, hold on, y'all,
I'mma be right back or something,
I was literally went to the side of the stage
and I was like, y'all, they just told me
Rihanna on Live listenin' to "Bitch from the South,"
so they pumped up even more.
It was-- - Crazy, crazy.
- Crazy, that was crazy, like, I didn't see that comin'.
- I mean, who could?
I know that must have been a moment for you
where you were just like, you had to be like,
all right, Rihanna's dancin' to my (bleep),
and like, I made it.
Goodbye, I'm changing my number.
- Oh God! (laughing)
- Don't even contact me for a week. (laughing)
- Oh God!
I was like, okay, yeah, yeah.
You can't look at me at me funny.
- Nah, that was epic.
I mean, seein' that, I was like,
wow, that must've just been such a moment for you
and I was just like so happy for you, watching it.
'Cause I was like, that's so epic.
So, speakin' of Rihanna,
who were some artists and just idols of yours
growin' up that you listened to and inspired you?
- Nicki, I always mention Nicki because like,
I think I was like, I was in fifth grade
when Nicki came out hard,
like "Itty Bitty Piggy" and all that (bleep).
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh yeah, she just had the strongest impact on me, like,
'cause that was at the time when I had started rappin'
and she just made me just feel like I could do it,
like, that was the female rapper for my generation, right?
- Yeah, no, 100%. - I grew up listenin'
to Kenum and you know, Fox Meet, and House,
but it wasn't like, Nicki touched me.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I grew up in her era.
- Yeah, that's when definitely, you stepped off the porch.
Nicki was, you was like, okay--
- Yeah, you know?
- Nah, I mean, Nicki's legendary,
she put it down for the females in a way,
I mean, just her staying power
and how long she's been out, relevant,
fire, killin' it on the charts,
and just skill-wise, I mean, you know, she's legendary.
So that's definitely a good idol to have,
especially for you, a female artist
who's also dope with the lyrics.
So I could definitely see you, you know,
growin' up listenin' to her.
- For sure.
- Oh, speakin' about the lyrics.
In the bars, you just recently dropped
a video for the track, "No Hook,"
which I loved 'cause you know,
me, as a lyricist myself, I was like, okay, Mulatto,
like, she was just like, look,
we don't need a hook, let's get down to business,
let's just give them the bars.
So, is that what you were just thinkin'?
Were you just like, look, they don't even need a hook,
they gonna catch all these bars?
- Yeah, like, I was like, you know,
I'mma just get like a dope instrumental,
shout out to Bankhead, I'mma get like a dope instrumental
and just go bar for bar, like, no hook,
and then just tellin' my story
because I've been rappin' for a long time.
But, like, with the Rihanna listenin' to my music
and Sweeney and Trina and jumpin' on a remix,
like, I've gotten a lot of new attention, so new fans.
- [Justina] For sure.
- And I wanted to just reintroduce myself
like let them know, like, baby, I still rap rap.
- Hello, allow me to reintroduce myself,
talk to her, Mulatto! (laughing) (ringing)
Nah, I love it, I thought that was fire,
I personally loved how you put that together
and just had the no hook and juts gave them the bars,
that was super dope.
- Thank you.
- Now, one of the lyrics is:
"(bleep) the rap game,"
"still happy I ain't signed that."
So, for anyone who doesn't know the history,
break that line down for them.
- Yeah, okay, so I was 16 when I got casted
to be on The Rap Game.
I wanted to show I did end up turning the deal down
when I was, like, presented it.
Just off the strength, like, I was 17 at that time,
so I was just super young, like,
I didn't wanna get myself into a situation
that I didn't completely understand.
- [Justina] Right.
- All the ins and outs of the, I mean, I'm young, like,
well, I'm still young, but I was even younger.
- Super young, yeah.
- So yeah, and you know, it was no rush.
I didn't even get to like soak up
the exposure from the TV show yet
and see what, like, what opportunities that was gonna bring.
- Right, and I think that was like, just so bold of you
to be like, look, it's early, I just won, I'm young,
let's get this biddin' war poppin', like,
who, you know-- - Yeah, yeah, period.
- Who got the best value.
And I think that was real brave of you
'cause a lot of people that do these competition shows
a lot of times are, I think, almost every time,
people sign the contracts because--
- Yeah.
- You just think that's the best way to go,
but you know, clearly you knew what you were doing--
- There'd be time.
- And you know, definitely,
yeah, definitely commend you for that.
Do you have any advice for, you know,
aspiring artists watching or you know,
for anyone that's chasing their dream,
any words of wisdom that you could give them?
- Definitely, like when you said most of the artists
really all the time, especially on the competition shows
sign that contract at the end, like,
I'm livin' proof that you don't have to do that.
You don't have to rush your career.
You know, if you believe in yourself and go hard,
other people will, they gonna bandwagon later.
Like, you gotta be your biggest fan first
before anything else, so I believed in myself--
- 100%. - And I knew,
with or without the contract that I was gonna be
what I am today and then even bigger.
So, I know, it just a ladder, you just wanna ladder,
and I knew, so you just gotta believe in yourself.
Like, that's the biggest, strongest piece of advice
that I could give to any aspiring artist,
believe in yourself, for real.
And don't just say it-- - 100%.
- Like, literally believe in yourself.
- Right, you gotta live it!
Y'all heard it it here first!
(laughs) (ringing)
So, Mulatto, also, you had mentioned before
that you've been rappin' for a really long time.
I heard you've been rappin' since you were 10.
Do remember, like, any of your 10-year-old raps?
Like, anything you were talkin' about at 10?
- I was being too grown at 10, like, (laughs).
I was a daddy's girl, so like,
I would be runnin' in the streets with my daddy and like,
around too much stuff, just rappin' about
big ol' cars that I couldn't drive yet.
- Hilarious.
- I was rappin' about drivin' Bentleys and stuff
that I was not even drivin' yet.
- It's too funny, your dad's like,
you're 10, you're not driving yet.
- (laughs) Right!
Rappin' 'bout money I did not have--
- Right.
- Rappin', just talkin' real heavy at 10, though.
(laughs)
- You was heavy at 10!
- Yeah!
- Heavy in them streets with daddy, that's funny.
You were talkin' 'bout Bentleys and money.
- Yeah, like, I remember, they would tell me to like,
okay, so, you gotta have this type of song,
and even though you're 10, you gotta have this type of song,
so I would be so irritated, like, I have a couple songs,
like, more my age range, so like,
I got a song called "Crush" that went viral back in the day.
- Oh yeah. - And I remember that
I had to sit down and work with a writer on that.
And I was so pissed because I was like,
bruh, this not what I be wantin' to rap about.
- Right, they was talkin' about passin' notes
and in the schoolyard-- - Yeah!
- And you were like, no, it's Bentley,
Bentley, and Benjamins. - Yeah, like, what?
- Chill.
- That's that Nicki Minaj defense.
- That's funny.
- 'Cause I just wanted to be Nicki so bad.
- Oh, that's so cute.
That's funny too 'cause I could,
I could see you in the studio, being like,
no, that is not the vibes.
- Yes, oh, I literally, like, on Facebook,
I would take, I remember I got in trouble one time.
I was takin' a picture and I was like, 10 years old.
(laughs) My mama's like, what are you doing?
I'm like, Nicki Minaj did it!
All right, Nicki Minaj did it, I could do it!
- She's like, oh no, you doing too much now.
- You know what you bringin'.
- She was like, right, she's like, you not Nicki.
Not yet, hold on. (laughs)
That's funny. - Too much.
- All right, Mulatto, that is so cute.
I love hearin' those stories.
So now, you know I gotta play a couple games with you,
I gotta put you in the hot seat real quick.
- Oh (bleep), aw (bleep).
- Yeah, we gonna, but so, you know, like,
if it's a question you don't wanna answer,
we gonna give you, you could do one plead the fifth.
And if you plead the fifth, we gonna move to the next.
- Okay, one plead the fifth, okay.
- Yeah.
So, this game's called Would You Rather?
And basically, I'm gonna give you two options
and you just tell me which one you'd rather.
- Okay.
- All right, so, for this first one,
would you rather have the ability
to travel back in time or forward in time?
- Back in time or forward?
I'mma say back, I'm scared to see the future,
I don't know-- - Right?
- I said I would not fuckin' know the future.
Like-- - Yeah,
and especially after 2020, it's like--
- Yeah, I don't wanna see the future.
I'mma go back, I'mma go back.
- You're gonna go back.
What age would you go back to?
- (clicks tongue) I would say,
hmm, probably not too long ago.
Probably like, I feel like, if I was more locked in,
so, like, them teenage years, like, you know,
like, 15, really, for me, like,
14, 15, maybe like, 13, 14, 15,
somewhere around there, like, I would've been more serious
and focused back then, I probably would've took off faster.
Because like, you know, just boys and like parties.
- [Justina] Right.
- Just wanna be fast and just grown, whatever.
- [Justina] Right.
- Yeah, I probably would've took off faster
if I was as focused as I am now at 13, 14, 15.
Oh yeah, I'd-- - Right,
so you'd go back around then. - Yeah.
- Well, don't be too hard on yourself, girl,
'cause you killin' it and you probably gained--
- Yeah, period.
- You probably gained a lot of little experiences
during that time that you rappin' about.
- Yeah, you know, everything, yeah,
everything happen for a reason.
- It worked out, exactly.
All right, so the next one is
would you rather be trapped in a airplane or in a submarine?
- Ooh, ooh. - That's a hard one.
- Airplane or a submarine, ooh, that is hard.
But we not gonna crash in the airplane,
we just stuck up there, right?
- You know, I don't know.
MTV, they write the hard questions, girl.
I just read 'em.
- Okay, 'cause I'm scared of the water,
like, I don't even go in the ocean.
Like, if I can't see my feet, I won't go in.
- Same.
- So, I'mma probably do the airplane.
Long as we ain't gonna crash
and we just stuck up there for a minute.
- Right. - Yeah, I'd do the airplane.
- You goin' with the airplane, yeah.
- 'Cause I'm scared of the water.
- Yeah, I think me too.
I'm not tryin' to get stuck under the water.
Like-- - Mm-mm.
- Yeah, I would go with airplane too,
I think that was a good one.
- I'm so scared of the ocean.
- Yeah, same.
All right, now, would you rather have
a bottomless glass of your favorite drink
or a never ending plate of your favorite food?
- Oh, food, too easy, food. - Food, yeah.
(laughs) Beautiful.
So, what would it be?
What would your plate be?
- Ooh, it's either gonna be a good seafood bar
or it's gonna be shrimp and grits or fish and grits.
- Yeah, you definitely goin',
you goin' with some seafood.
Simple. - Yeah, seafood,
some type of seafood, yeah.
- Seafood, some nice crab legs.
- Yeah.
- All right, so I got one more game for you, Mulatto,
'cause I know you got, you know,
things to do during your quarantine time.
This one is called Bang, Marry, Kill?
I'mma name three people-- - Ooh! (laughing)
- You gotta bang one, you gotta marry one,
and ya gotta off one.
Okay. - Ooh God.
- First, we got Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye.
- Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye.
I'm marryin' Wayne. (ding)
- [Justina] Okay.
La-la-lollipop.
- I'mma kill Kanye (buzzer) and bang bang Drake. (boing)
(laughs) - Okay, all right.
All right.
One of them I guessed, but then the other two you swapped,
but I would've thought, but okay.
So, now we gonna do another one.
We got three more guys.
I got Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill.
- Gucci, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill.
This is a funny little lineup
and I can't even say why, ooh child.

- Okay, that was a hard one!
MTV, you guys are dirty. - That was too hard.

You heard-- - That was too hard.
- Wow, MTV, you guys are salacious.
I learned that word from watchin' the news,
the politicians be lovin' to say salacious.
- Let's see.

Okay, that concludes our Bang, Marry, and Kill.
