What themes of trauma and healing does Kevin Gates explore?

Dr. Jesse Mills 0:00
This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name.
Unknown 0:17
Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward.

Shannon Sharpe 2:00
What am I missing about the rap business? Because, you know, I've got a lot of, I haven't heard a lot of, I mean, have a lot of entertainers on here that do what you do.
Kevin Gates 2:10
I hadn't heard a whole lot good about the music industry. You get what you negotiate. I've been having a beautiful time in the industry. No, in the beginning I wasn't because I had to learn how to get out of my own way. But I've been having fun lately. Yeah. So in other words, as Terry Crews once said, don't nod yes and mean no. You get what you negotiate. People love me because I'm straight to the point. I say what I mean. I mean what I say. What's my percentage? What am I getting out of this? What are you taking from this? I'm going to agree to the terms of disagreeing. And then we're going to go back and forth. Okay. And then when it gets to where I want it to get to, I'll engage. Do you have representation or do you represent yourself?
Kevin Gates 2:59
I'm able to represent myself, but it's always good to have representation. Yeah. Somebody read over the fire.
Shannon Sharpe 3:04
Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

Shannon Sharpe 3:24
Yeah, yeah, the 45, 33.
Kevin Gates 3:26
Yeah, I still sell them and I do them like for my fans. Okay. I do them like at the merch tables, concerts. Man, I can't remember last time. Because I come from that era of passing out CDs.
Shannon Sharpe 3:38
Yeah. Because, you know, first you had the LP, the 45, 33. Then you had the 8-track and all those. Then you got the cassette.
Kevin Gates 3:46
I was passing out my mixtape going everywhere, going to the mall. And shout out to all my partners that helped me with that because I know they believed in me. Them dudes ain't had to help me pass out no CDs. Right. We was all passing out CDs together. Let me ask you this.
