00:00I can break every song I got down and I can make it a country song, I can make it an R&B
00:06song, I can make it a rock song, I can make it a gospel song because it has the same chords
00:11that'll shock the body.
00:12So the same way I can say,
00:13Hey hoo, bow, front row, shake it, you a bad bitch.
00:17I can break that down and I can bring it back and be more monotone and calm and be like,
00:21Hey hoo, bow, front row, shake it, you a bad bitch.
00:26Or I can just freak it a little bit.
00:28Hey hoo, bow, shake it, you a bad bitch.
00:35Same difference.
00:43Bad Bitty, the song to me means like a revelation.
00:46Every single time that song come on, I can't skip it.
00:49That song is too good.
00:51It feels too good because I was feeling too good when I was making it.
00:53Me feeling that type of way when I was making it, man, I'm just glad to see that everybody
00:57else can feel the same type of way that I feel when I first made it.

01:35But when the song blow up and God damn it, that money get to rolling in and they go get
01:38them cars, they go get them clothes, they go get them hoes.
01:41Now everybody that was around them that was talking about like, oh yeah, you ain't got
01:44no hoes, you ain't got no bitches, what I got now?
01:57Matter of fact, I got a brother for her, bring her home.
02:00Me and my brothers got the green trying to get between them titties, stop.
02:03That bar right there probably went over a lot of people's heads.
02:06I don't know how many people in here is familiar with the Friday sequence from Ice Cube, but
02:10at Next Friday, there's a scene in there when he was like, count my money, party with bitches.
02:15Hundreds and fitties, big ass titties.
02:17Count the green, getting between those titties.

02:30I know and you know that she gon' shake that ass when I throw this cash.
02:36I made that music that make the bitches hit the ground.
02:38They gon' get to shaking that ass.
02:39Let me tell you that right now, it happened every single time.
02:42They gon' play my song, all the females gon' come to the front.
02:45You can see all the dudes in the back that's like, they be pissed.
02:48You know why?
02:49Because all the hoes that was in the back that was shaking that ass before my shit came
02:53on now, they all in the front.
02:55Now I'm watching that ass.
02:57So I be pissed off too.
02:58That's my whole trick.
03:07I'm not saying no, because of course I have.
03:09But I'm asking you.
03:10You ever told a bitch I got G's?
03:12You say no.
03:13You ever made a bitty hit her knees?
03:14You say no.
03:15Well guess what?
03:16I'm JP.
03:17I make a bitch say hey hoo bow.
03:18I've done that.
03:26I say DJ, put this song on blast for the hoes in the back shaking ass.
03:33I know and you know that when I throw this cash, she gon' shake that ass.
03:40It's like that best friend that the girl got, that's why she in the club throwing her ass.
03:43She like, yeah bitch, with the camera, bitch, yeah, yeah.
03:47That's what I'm trying to convey.
03:48That's what I'm trying to give.
03:49I'm trying to convince the people to feel like that.
03:53That's why that's my favorite part, man.
03:55It make me feel good.
04:12The scatting comes from vocal jazz.
04:14I'm a music performance vocal emphasis major.
04:16I'm a classical singer.
04:17I got a scholarship in vocal jazz as well.
04:20Scatting is like, damn near speaking in tongues.
04:22However you feel, that's how you just convey it.
04:26Then you just add the syllables on to it.
04:33It just make you feel good.
04:34So that's why I decided to put it in there, you know what I'm saying?
04:36Towards the end of the song, you know what I'm saying?
04:38You put this song on blast, you know what I'm saying?
04:43It just make you, ah, you know what I'm saying?
04:45Make you feel it.
04:46Make you get into the song.
04:49I'm like the old uncle at the cookout.
04:51Come on, you know what I'm saying?
04:52You just bop your head to it.
04:53You're like, God damn, this a good song.
04:56You just bopping your shit.
04:57That's the feeling that you get from it.
