Roddy is a well spoken individual. Much respect to him and his Momma.

[@GratitudeGriot]

no, he's not. the bar is in hell.

[@AlfonzoKnowsBest]

Thats not the compliment you think it is.

[@aaronadams3417]

How so?

[@AlfonzoKnowsBest]

@@aaronadams3417 As a black man, it comes off condescending, even if that wasn’t your intent, too much really to get into on KZbin. But it feels like a backhanded compliment, as if he shouldn’t be well spoken compared to the “others”. Sort of like “you’re very pretty for dark skin girl”. It’s deep and gets deeper….but you asked. It’s a cultural thing.

[@steviejay868]

@@AlfonzoKnowsBest yeah I agree, I didn't like how ish kept insinuating he had some old nigga coaching or a youngin can't learn on his own. It was low-key pissing me off and I wanted Roddy to say, you old niggas can't teach us shit y'all ain't no because y'all out here beefing on the internet more than us an complaining about deals y'all had after only making one hit or one hit album for y'all labels while barely marketing themselves lol.

Best Roddy Rich sit down. “How long do you wanna make music?” is always one of the most interesting questions. I like when they say they wanna be like Jay Z, pop in here and there when u wanna speak. Makes me sad when they say they wanna stop at 30. Artists I grew up admiring ain’t used to be this way 😩 I love em anyway. They prob change their mind when they hit 30. Nas n Wayne clearly just love being creative. Wayne said he can’t stop rapping til the words stop popping in his head! They’re the types of artists I find myself admiring for a life time. Cuz of the true natural gift that they can’t even turn off.

[@Alove29]

Shoutout to Roddy. I want to see him continue to overcome, keep his humility and his humanity, while becoming the boss he's supposed to.

[@XP9724]

Roddy should've popped more shit cuz all they kept referencing was the box when dude has multiple HIT hits

GREAT interview from the young man. He smoked it and acts way older than he is. He is going to do well way beyond music for you because he's focused.

Same!!

[@tysmith4513]

Loved this interview!!!!

[@looselipssinkships2323]

It was the fact that " The Box " was such a mega hit. " Lightning in a bottle. " Then he took an extra ass hiatus. Granted we were goin into COVID... I'm simply saying had he kept doing like the album said , FEEDING THE STREETS.. he would be good right now as far as sound waves. He should have been giving us scraps and doing some causal link ups and dropping SOMETHING. He took a long break as far as dropping music. So by the time he finally dropped " Live Life Fast " it was hella expectations.. most fans last heard from him almost 2 years prior.. pre COVID. High expectations from your core fans that been deprived of ur voice. Then the casuals u had, ain't heard ur voice except maybe 2 features. I don't think " Live Life Fast " was that bad. Or any of his snippets.

[@plug4you]

factsss

@@IkeburnneR Thank you for showing maturity 🤦🏿‍♂️ fam I don't care about if he fell off. I listen to Griselda, they not smashin the charts, I don't care about numbers.
