And when I finally got on, I was like, yo, I still feel like

Y'all aren't giving me the credit I deserve and what I'm really doing out here.

And so that's when I started trying to almost like... It comes from a really...

it comes from a bigging up myself place, but also honestly like a looking for approval place.

Looking for approval from the culture that I'm obsessed with.

Like I'm obsessed with hip hop.

You feel me?

I've been obsessed with hip hop since I was fucking five.

Like I love it.

And when I got into it and when I got on, I felt like, damn, like I'm one of the people who's doing, I felt like doing this the right way.

And like, I'm saying something meaningful and like,

Y'all aren't fucking with me, but I own my shit.

But I did everything, you know what I'm saying?

Like I didn't fuck with these, but like I'm doing, you know what I'm saying?

The crazy shit, the fact that you say that.

So my boy Boogus, he was like, bro, you came in anti-industry.

How do you expect to get industry love when you're anti-industry?

Exactly.

Or be validated by them when you're saying you shouldn't need to be validated by them.

It's not even in the industry's best interest to boost my narrative.
