Cmon mane I'm from the bay & I like this dude, I don't think he's trying to exploit the genre I actually think he is just being himself homie. He's a sincere artist & a dope mc period black white or purple

[@djdannyd816]

💯💯💯💯

[@RUDOseil]

G isn't talking about things he didn't live. He's not pretending to be someone he isn't. He clearly has respect for the game and those who came before him. He's NOT Iggy Azalea.

[@naavajo]

I agree and he is sexy as f!!!

[@RUDOseil]

Khaaliq Crowder she's ass

[@JASWAG013]

that perfectly describes drake and rick ross

[@RUDOseil]

TheJayDot i suppose. Ross is a gimmick.

[@jackrowan1632]

Khaaliq Crowder No. She's trash.

[@frzferdinand72]

Goddamn, he mentioned sitting in that AC Transit bus. Fuck, he's real af for that. Too damn relatable. East Bay cats would know.

[@djdannyd816]

💯💯💯💯

[@dustinanddylc]

The bay is was and always will be independent. It's where master p got his game from and changed the whole industry.

[@dominicbonora6099]

Not many people know that!! C-Murda had a house in the Hayward hills back in the day, up by Kelly Hill, by sprewell!

[@melissaquintel]

Bay Area forever 👏🏻

[@dolaopposite]

Im from Oakland and I fully endorse this dude.

[@djdannyd816]

[@xGodFlow]

G-Eazy is a good artist. Just because he sounds different, doesn't mean it's bad. Enjoy the Music.

[@MrCAMjA]

different? nah…. sounds like a knockoff Drake rapper.

[@xGodFlow]

Enjoy the music.

[@MrCAMjA]

nah.

[@XLTheAngelsRage]

Chike Walker He does sound a little like drake is certain aspects but lets be real.. Who was stealing G Eazys music in 2010? Drake was, its odd though. Now they are friends.

[@xGodFlow]

There're two different artist. Who cares if they sound similar. It's music. Enjoy it !!

[@danachen5998]

came here for gerald, left with a degree on american hip hop

[@hajeraa]

I swear ... I was just googling everything .. it's crazy knowledge is unlimited .

[@cloudlesssky4350]

knowledge is unlimited. quotable

[@kimmiet.8962]

hajeraa Glad you all learned something. Present day hip hop isn’t “true hip hop”. Very few young artist know the legacy. Keep learning and researching. We are proud of G-Eazy in the Bay! We only accept those that know history here!

[@YunTino]

@@kimmiet.8962 I disagree

[@xaviershark3]

i love this guy and im black, his music and flow is beast

[@Dani-in7fi]

xavier shark hohoho black seal of approval. How great.

[@kimmiet.8962]

Your race wasn’t needed. Your gen really needs work 🤨😒

[@lilylittle4207]

I absolutely love how he has a handful of songs that are about the girls he loved but let slip away and is pretty much saying he's sorry and that he still loves them but also has those songs that are about partying and having fun with your friends haha

[@mesrthemonster]

my uncle was a dj from the 80s and my dad was good friends with breal from cypress hill. i grew up listening to hip hop from a tribe called quest to wu tang to hieroglyphics. hip hop is amazing! no matter what generation its from. is all meant to inspire and thats what g eazy is doing aswell

[@brianj436]

I don't care about his color if his shit is good it's good, focus on the music.

[@djchedda775]

[@nikeforlife7591]

G eazy is my favorite rapper right now love the song "got it like that"

[@Myaa19]

G Eazy is Bae.

[@xG1ZZM0x]

Underrated indie artist

[@maccmoses]

I find it funny how black folks always bash white folks for being racist when theyre the most racist people on earth. Poor me Im black my lifes hard. Everyones life is hard,grow up. Will the crying ever stop when will people take responsibility for own lives and stop blaiming everything on Whitey. My folks were stone junkies and my pops used to beat me. Bloody Ive been on my own since I was 15 and Im doing fine. I spent 7 years inside and was homeless for 9 months and never once did I blaime anyone bur myself.

[@NigerianCalledSamMighty]

"Most racist people on the planet", lol. Come back your has been subjected to over 300 years of slavery, then brutality violent segregation. Even in Africa, the White Man still segregated black Africans in there own land. If inhumane acts of rape, torture and murder isn't racially charged I don't know what is.

[@maccmoses]

Every race on this planet has been slaves,the past is the past and any obstacles that a man faces shouldnt hold them back it should make them stronger. Racism from any race is bullshit but nobody from this generation has anyone to blame but themselves for being poor. Its rich folks from all races. Every man thats over the age of 18 has the ability to be anything he wants you just have to be willing to do the work. Im a 2 times felon and ive been clean 12 years and in that time Ive managed to buy a home hold down a good job that took me years to get but I got it,I just had to leave my past in the past and not look back. Time for Americans to grow up and take responsibility for theyre own lives,the blame games is pointless. If your getting fucked with by the Police chances are your doing shit illegal same goes for not having a good clean life you have to be willing to play the game.

[@maccmoses]

One question were any of you slaves? You cant blame your life on what happened 100 years ago.

[@AUser0000001]

Macc Mosley Stop Just stop Macc you don't know what you are talking about... I get tired of people declaring how AFRICAN AMERICANS should feel about their past and how it doesn't effect them today .Especially with all the crap that is happening in America right now... (and yes I am referring to black on black crime too) Not just police brutality. What I am about to type may be a little long but please read it if you get the chance... I understand what you are trying to say Macc but what you have to understand is that African AMERICANS have been made fun of for African American Vernacular English for years . So to see other races doing it is ironic...Imitation is the highest form of flattery so quite frankly I don't give a fuck who "raps" and most blacks don't but but to ignore certain aspects of black culture is just niave and dumb.And yes I am talking about the imitation of black women and men you have "Amos 'n' Andy"(which touches on black-face which is a whole other topic in itself) Lets take a brief look at little American history to understand why some get annoyed with the whole "I had a hard time in life too" and the you were "not slaves... your ancestors were so you shouldn't care" debate. Blacks had to go so much through bull-crap in America before and after slavery ended. Black's in America were left with NOTHING! African Americans had to go through hell just to make it to poverty...Yes I said POVERTY... and yes there were great leaders such as Malcolm X , Dr. King, Marcus Garvey and countless others but the problem was so widespread that there were disagreements on how to handle the Black American Plight.Meanwhile blacks were still being treated unfairly during the segregation phase while other minority groups (regardless of race) had received reparations and other advantages so they didn't have to deal with the subconscious mind creating unconscious bias and discrimination based on skin color... (Look up the brown paper bag test)... There were tons of "legal" lynchings that were never reported hence the song (strange fruit) and countless rapes, murders and injustices done to blacks in America and yes the trickle down effect is real that is why it still effects most blacks today... The conditioning and brainwashing of the black community itself because of Willie lynch syndrome coupled with drugs and poverty trained those in poverty... to just not care, and to not value life as much and this way of thinking just passed down because it was NEVER addressed and believe it or not all of this was NOT that long ago... I am not saying that Africans (and other races) in Europe, Canada and other places in the world don't have to face prejudices but the history IS NOT the same...that is why most black's in other regions of the world know their background...Africans (all types) , Jamaicans, Trinidadians , and countless others can pretty much tell you about their roots... Blacks in America had there culture stolen. So African AMERICAN culture was created through many other avenues...Such as R&B, hip hop, style of clothing, African American Soul food, African American Vernacular English otherwise known as Ebonics(that people LOVE to imitate), Kwanzaa,and The Gullah people. All of these thing's positive or negative make up the Black experience in America. So while most blacks don't give a shit about white rappers (especially ones that are talented and come from a genuine place) please understand and respect some aspects of the culture before you comment... There is so much I could say, and I am sure I left out many great points but I think you get the idea... Dang... I wasn't trying to write an essay (but I guess I kind of did ) LOL....Peace and Blessings :)

[@maccmoses]

Everything you said is true but unfortunately it's true of every race on the planet,what about the Jews,what about the Irish when they came to America.the past has past and it's time for people to move on and work on the future.the only way any of this will be fixed is to teach our children the truth about the past and also teach them to be Anti racist,not being racist isn't enough we have to teach them to stand up and shut down all racism. I won't let anyone make any racist remarks around me or mine. My point is it's time for people to take responsibility for their lives. I've been through a lot more than most and I made it out,it took me till I was 30 but I did it.

[@mochibobikins]

YO I JUST NOTICED THAT GUY IN THE BACK AND SHAT MYSELF WHO ELSE SAW HIM

[@glowwithanny]

HAHAHA I DID!!

[@thetravellernamedmiana4303]

I saw him to,but I really had to look to see him.It was a little bit creepy.

[@xstanz]

oh shit thats scary i didnt notice until you pointed him out

[@michaeldockham1525]

That's his drummer blizzy lol

[@AlexRodriguez-ij3xn]

mimi when?

[@DrTranFtw]

the interviewer seems pissed whenever anyone talks lol

[@naesamuels5131]

I don't care if you're white or black if your song has a good vibe I'm gonna like it and I'm gonna support you because music has nothing to do with race to me. if anything music is an outlet for people of all backgrounds to come together

[@dominicconti2357]

Rappin is a dream and a job, there's no specific things you need to be a rapper, anyone can be a rapper and it doesn't matter white, black, asian, Hispanic, Indian, race doesn't matter at all

[@OfficialDannyP]

How many times did he say "It's like" & "you know what I mean?" ..................

[@UltimateBrody]

Sometimes I wonder if people can use a complete sentence without saying "like." By the way, your channel is great!

[@KillaLogeFTW]

not enough times

[@lesryglrhfohser]

It's because he's not very intelligent

[@Curlyincolorado]

It's a verbalized pause. Some do it to fill the silence between words. Lots of people do it and don't even realize it. He is educated and quick witted obviously so this is something he could easily work past.

[@SMEGEL145]

Just know, he means it

[@Phlexxon]

What a moment: "90's hip hop".

[@ctyboy-bm6pg]

I'm so glad they touched (as slight as it was) on the whole Mustard vs. The Bay deal. Truth be told, Mustard is doing his thing on production but unfortunately that sound was established in the Bay and people are eating it up when it's been done. The part that gets me is that when "The Motto" dropped, he interviewed and stated that the sound was L.A. aka Ratchet Music and passed it off as something he created....which is far from the truth for obvious reasons. So much more to this and I wish more would talk about it. Respect to F.A.B. for speaking up. What ya'll think?

[@ramirotrd86]

👍💯...GOOD INTERVIEW! 125 people don't love music!

[@nylachiere]

I hate that they keep cutting him off

[@QaliStacks]

A lot of dope knowledge about the bay in this interview

[@jackmathews1995]

He makes good music that is a different style than other rappers that have come before him. If you don't like him, don't listen, but it would be a shame if you didn't.

[@HUBB4151]

How you gonna talk bay..and not talk pac..he grew up 5 minutes from my house

[@BirdBoss]

Love Ebrow doing the most talking whenever he interviews someone

[@TheKestevon]

Hip Hop's Elvis is Eminem.Mind your words

[@IVIATT123456789]

Shut up

[@luceenderlegend2769]

Yeah Eminem is good and all, he started out from nothing, but He doesn't sing POP, he sings real shit, you see, G, yeah he sings pop, so he is Hip Hop Elvis... Mind your words my ass

[@Wordisbonds]

Lucy Luce Eminem doesn't sing pop? You serious?

[@luceenderlegend2769]

Is this a interview or a lecture by ebro ffs

[@TrevVZT]

i stopped @ "reverse racism"....there is no such thing, just like there is no "reverse sexism"...the oppressed can not oppress the oppressors....so I'm gonna stop watching before i don't like him....he's a really dope rapper and I'll leave it at that

[@mfanal5916]

"Some of them are so good at rapping!" It's the melanin, bud.

[@alistersvenschoff1885]

doesn't matter what race you are anyone has the ability to write good music. what's on the inside is what truly matters your body is just like container for your soul

CrAzYsNiPezzz234 coming from someone whoes so fucking ugly they can't even post a pic BTW I'm not a white woman lmfao

[@chrisfreire123456789]

Shari C First of all bitch. Just because I said you look like Madonna, don't mean I called you white. You can be any other race and look like her. How you going to call me ugly when you don't even know how I look like 😂😂

[@ShariCgorgeous]

CrAzYsNiPezzz234 because you don't even have confidence to show that face you know you would scare the world with it

[@campbell27]

Travis Scott and g easy should make a album together they would be fire together

[@fatimaale1458]

Yess 🔥🔥

[@adammbowman]

and I quote..."yo, yo, yo...like, like, like...you feel me, you feel me...know what i'm saying, know what i'm saying"...it is ironic that people who use words as a living can barely express themselves. And that goes for all those "rappers" out there...

[@danyr118]

At the end of the day just enjoy whatever music u like yo, it doesn't have to be I have better taste in music than u or I know more than u, just enjoy whatever u hear and if it isn't good then move on it's easy no reason to bash on others taste in music, to me this guy is good not the best but he's good he's making more than I so I can't hate I can just listen and enjoy

[@itzlexiaanna89]

G - Eazy💖😫

[@masonforrest857]

I hate that West Coast just means Claifornia to so many people. When you say west coast I think LA, Portland, and Seattle. Macklemore and G-Eazy are both west coast rappers whether they are north or south.

[@panopticonartist]

Leopold's became tower records like 20 years ago. 10 years ago it became a bunch of food vendors. It's, what, a Senore's pizza, a Putinerie, a Karoake spot, and a Schnitzel/Beer spot.

[@monkey2ko5]

The "shizzles and fizzles" comes from prisoners In California(not just the bay or LA cause when they sentence you to prison chances are you go up north even if you are from LA) They use to talk like that because they were coding the way to talk so Deputies and prison guards wouldn't understand what they are saying.

If there's one thing I will never understand about the hip-hop scene is why the hell there needs to be fighting over who did what and who had this, who cares if slang from Oakland gets incorporated into Long Beach shit? Everything has to be a competition with these people, like for real

[@scratchy8717]

Y'all never compared yourself to anyone? Nothing but hate yet you gonna get on your social media and try to brag on yourself and call someone a hater

[@BradenBierkos]

He listens to good shit. :o

[@TheLovely990]

Actually too me it's the opposite, which makes the music even more appealing. At one time they said hip hop would not last, but look how it's grown.

[@kennethbankhead9452]

Please tell me HOW and WHAT makes him wack... please tell me

[@SwagyKicks]

utubegirl No flow? well clearly that is your opinion, I can say for myself that I think it's dope and 100's of thousands of his other fans could back me up on that... "he raps like he's asleep" ..... wtf does that even mean.. Although he raps about weed and fucking your girl his lyrics still have substance and clever bars, not all of his songs can be meaningful and deep. He's a 25 year old rapper on the come up, enjoyin life ofcourse he's gonna have alotta party shit... #1 Rap album and #3 overall says something about this dude have some respect

[@durpALEX]

utubegirl No story to tell?? Listen to his songs again then come back..

[@zayneclear3067]

utubegirl u stupid bitch, you know nothing about rap. You probably sit in your room and listen to MacLemore and think Thrift Shop is the best song alive and has better flow than any song in existence... get the fuck out of here with he has no flow and doesn't tell a story in his raps

[@coco4182]

[@sekamae3374]

great interview.. that bay area shit been bay forever.. it went commercial but still resides in the bay area... just like that new orleans sound... been there and still there... if your from the bay area no matter what race or age, the hip hop culture def circulates your growth in life period. 65year old white men from the bay area can totally connect with a sade kehlani or a fuckin wu tang album... maybe you gotta be from the bay to even know what its about.
