00:00What drives me is getting the idea executed and every time I have ideas shoot for that
00:05It's not about having the I don't know about Spotify playlist. I'm gonna talk about Apple playlist
00:11I don't go about none of that
00:13I
00:28Don't think I'm an innovator at all
00:30I don't think I've done anything really special other than
00:34Come and create from my honest place and do something that I personally felt and loved right here
00:43I
00:51Think if I had a dad I would have went the normal college route and like like a lot of other people
00:57You're not angry. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was
01:08So I got kicked out of drama club in eighth grade doing what cuz she said I was too hyper
01:13So she kicked me out first day and I was like you like whatever
01:16I
01:40Just growing up as a dark-skinned kid
01:42it's certain things that I just didn't align myself with that I just didn't feel a part of and
01:48Luckily, I have people like Missy Pharrell
01:51Kanye
01:52People like that that just oh I could like other things and it works out for me
02:12I
02:17See I'm thinking 15 years from now. Mm-hmm. I'm playing the long game what opportunity and I need people to know that
02:23Oh, this is I this is the full idea. This isn't just me rapping over some random like this was the full idea
02:30everything is
02:32very
02:33particular
02:43I
02:45Saw a comment. No one cares that you produced and arranged it Tyler
02:50But me letting people know that will allow different doors to open
02:55That's not me. Just doing voiceovers or a verse in 20 years like that detail will pay off
03:12I
03:43I
03:49Was like, oh maybe I should stop being funny on the internet and maybe people will realize how talented I am
04:03I just thought it would be a cool character
04:06Tall slim suit blonde hair and like black dudes don't really have hair like that
04:16That
04:18Brings me so much joy. I don't I don't know what it is. I love riding my bike
04:24Especially during golden hour and having like the perfect songs on and the Sun just on me. I'm so happy
04:36I
04:47Can spend so much time on this yeah and whether or not people like it whatever the I just want the idea
04:54Executed and when that happens and it goes number one, bro. That shit means a lot
05:07You
05:09It sucks that
05:11whenever we and I mean guys that look like me do anything that genre bending or that's
05:17Anything they always put it in a rapper urban
05:21Category which is and I don't like that urban word
05:24It's just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me. So when I hear that I'm just like why can't we just be?
05:31in pop
05:36You
