Transcript

00:00Have you been following, you know, the whole thing with Lil Yachty saying that New York

00:06does not have style and that we get it from ATL and, you know, Juelz chimed in, Fabio

00:14chimed in.

00:15They're like, what are you talking about?

00:16So, what's your, you know, take on that, you know?

00:21Well, I think that Atlanta is a southern state.

00:24I think that New York is probably never going to give Atlanta the credit for being an influencer

00:32to anything they've done.

00:35I was born in New York, so I know New Yorkers.

00:36We ain't going to give nobody credit for nothing that they've done.

00:40So Atlanta has to say what Atlanta is famous for saying.

00:43Atlanta influences everything.

00:44So black people influence all trends, cool trends.

00:48You know, in your head, behind the camera, she's like, yo, don't do that to me.

00:53And Atlanta is the epicenter of black people being free.

00:56Okay.

00:57So that's how we see it.

00:59If black people influence everything, creative, then Atlanta is the epicenter of where black

01:05people are free.

01:06Then Atlanta influences everything.

01:07It's just the way we see things.

01:08So you're saying that you agree with Yachty's statement?

01:11I absolutely agree with Yachty.

01:12Now, hold on.

01:13I didn't hear everything you said, but from what I hear when he said Atlanta sets all

01:17the trends, yes.

01:18But then he said that New York doesn't really have like a fashion sense, per se.

01:24I don't agree with that.

01:25Okay.

01:26New York and Florida, Timbs and the Yankee hat.

01:27Right.

01:28You guys have fashion sense for sure.

01:29I wouldn't say that.

01:30Should Yachty clarify, or do you think he said we should leave it at that?

01:35I think the way the world works now, Yachty can stand on top of the Empire State Building

01:40and say, this is what I meant, and people are still going to go to the clip and interpret

01:44it the way they do.

01:45So if I was Yachty, I would just keep going forward and get money.
