"Im kinda drunk and I'm pretending not to be" - Peggy

Was the interviewer the one that made this interview happen? He's a REAL ONE, if he did.

[@SuperMoodyyy]

sam hes probably in the committee which gets to decide who they get, which is a student body. So students get to decide who they invite

[@hva22]

i'm getting the vibe that it seems like it hahahahaha what a legend

[@flop645]

He said he attended a show so he was at the very least on board

[@vitoratio2718]

He literally says so in the first 30 seconds

[@GoatHerder-t4d]

he must be a fan

[@QuasiKnobby]

Yo. This interview hits so hard. I just got out the military and they do try to scare you into staying in, but man I want more from life. I want my freedom. Respect man

[@tarinathellama4858]

What branch?

[@metroeast]

@RICKY Active Duty Air Force (3D1X2), you can feel the desperation of retention in the air.

[@MATALOMUSIC]

same, the only good thing that came out of the military for me was getting to go to school for music on their dime o and Air Force 2T151

[@krusade2158]

Same dude, in the army reserves, but still cant wait to get out. 3 years left.

[@imjaewon5780]

peggy will talk the same if he ever gets to get interviewed at the white house or some shit.. love how this guy's so classless and classy all at the same time

[@josegutierrez4265]

@Jack D'Ripa maybe you should go out less

[@YellowGoblin1111]

Jack D'Ripa what’s wrong with u bro

[@softwarmpillow]

its great man im just getting into him and i just feel like i relate

[@mastersoftoday]

agree if "classless" and "classy" refer to different meanings of "class"

[@cooperkirby4571]

This interviewer was a little stuttery during his introduction for Peggy but damn he honestly killed that. Super good moderator throughout. Really interesting questions and conversation I thought.

[@tofu8164]

The interviewer look scared of peggy lol good interview tho

[@mabinnoorrashid985]

Peggy's sound is unpredictable, he productions are completely out of the box. So you can't really make a generalized sample from his discography.

"WE'RE GETTIN STRONGER--"

[@bobdylan270]

So cute when he calls him peggy haha

[@emre619619]

why they got a construction worker talking about music?

LMFAOOO

[@joejoemojo]

“this is so fucking formal” literally read my mind

[@HotStrange]

I love how much he’s involving the audience in the interview. The way he keeps looking and talking directly to everyone says a lot about Peggy as a person. One of the best artists out right now, IMO. He’s gonna influence A LOT of upcoming acts.

[@TheHolySandwich]

This is almost as surreal as would a Call me Maybe remix including Carly Rae Jepsen w Pegleg

[@Nootathotep]

wouldn't that be strange?

Cheers m8

[@spencerdick8945]

I lived in Baltimore for one brief year in 2017 and caught Peggy live with maybe 20 ppl at the Crown before Veteran got released without knowing who he was or anything. That's maybe the only time I've ever heard completely new music live and instantly got hooked. there was maybe one other white dude there and JPEG said something joking like: "Idk how these white ppl got in here". It's crazy seeing him go from playing tracks live from his phone to speaking at Cambridge. The music speaks for itself.

[@w_m_i]

He speaks with such conviction, like he's always known what artistic statement he wants to make from the very beginning. Seriously one of the most talented guys in hip hop right now, a true ONE MAN SHOW. The fact that he taught himself everything from producing to mixing and mastering is seriously incredible, I don't think a lot of people understand how difficult it is to put all of those tasks on yourself. His work ethic is inspiring.

[@BIGDREAMER444]

Taught his self like with no books or info from the internet?

[@asthereal1502]

You can’t teach yourself how to ‘mix and master’. Not professionally. U can learn off KZbin but it won’t sound as good as the pros. No doubt Peggy had some help

[@Biporian]

he has his friends in the baltimore scene

[@arty6060]

Peggy's insanely well spoken and talks like he knows exactly what he's about, and as someone who has been listening since Veteran I'm not one bit surprised. Massive props for this interview.

[@nic5250]

Macros20 been listening since veteran BTW

[@EtopiaCA]

Ye those sergeant niggas recruited me for my insane vernacular nigga.

[@boyo7918]

You say "someone who's been listening since Veteran" as if everyone didn't listen to Veteran when it dropped

[@EvWuzhere]

This is his best interview yet

[@hiquarter0_048]

Most of my favorite music today I didn’t like at first, that’s why it sticks

[@gina5959]

Wet Nips and it’s special because it means that you spend that extra time understanding it instead of just disregarding it because you didn’t like it first

[@OrdinaryGamerChannel]

So true

[@BirdieImagineeBCH]

Same aha funny how life works

[@micah3k]

i feel blessed that i got to see this rise in my lifetime

Peggy looking like an African substitute teacher in the thumbnail

[@angiepangie2795]

Picard Young 😂

[@julianwalker9782]

😂😂

[@Gibson4411]

This may have been my favorite interview of all time. He’s one of those artists that has music so personal yet so guarded in layers of irony and artistic choice. You feel like you know him, yet you know nothing about him specifically. This was a great way to fill in the blank

[@OpaqueVideos]

Stephen Bryson you think you know me

[@NicolasLopez-df1zc]

>you think you know me

[@damienfarron]

i like how he explains old technology without being patronising to the kids or talking down on them for not being aware

[@vahrkalla4201]

Man I love Peggy. Such a dedicated musician and interesting guy. Seeing him live in Manchester with my friends was one of the best nights of my life. Can't wait to see what stuff he'll release in the future.

"I have to take control of [my music] out of necessity, because when my shit is left in other people's hands, they fuck it up every time."

MFDOOM?

[@modernfckinman]

i fucking love this interview. Peggy doesnt tone down any aspect of his personality and he's not trying to fit into a setting that typically dismisses black cultural expression as "urban" or "low brow" or somehow less valid. i fucking love dis guy.

[@lexiklein7705]

Never thought I’d hear the phrase “basic bumpkin ass mothafuckas” at a Cambridge talk but I’m here for it.

[@sebastianrosenbach7873]

What’s crazy to me is that you can take a bit of wisdom from almost every answer Peggy gave

[@Max-st5ij]

What a great interview! I've never seen Jpeg open up this much, and to this extent. I loved it! Very well done

unreal interview

[@gktoliver]

y'all i think peggy should get into making music, i think he'd be good at it

[@zyzzfanzyzzfan]

Good questions from the interviewer :)

[@ClevorBelmont]

Very recently started listening to Peggy and he’s easily one of my favorites right now. He’s real, authentic and most importantly, not trying to be anything or anyone but himself.

[@FherreraSWAG]

lmao i recently discovered jpegmafia music through flume and been listening 247 nonstop. i could not believe my eyes when i found out about this video because this is some weird ass collaboration

[@S019978]

Peggy is on point about telling the people you’re around at the moment about your creative aspirations. Just ain’t worth the effort explaining to simple ass people your love for making art. But I do construction, being in the military sounds worse.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

I'm still rewiring my brain to stop freezing when it comes to life decision. I might need to listen to this interview every night just so it sticks into my subconscious.

[@IceKing89]

Loved peggys reaction when the interviewer mentioned melonman

[@YoungZx]

I’m glad you got that validation Peggy that probably feels so good !

[@manishg3216]

i'm so proud of peggy *wipes tears*

[@markhutson3513]

Peggy, I’ve been listening since veteran and it was such a breathe of fresh air, everyone who I told about it FELL IN LOVE. Just want to let you know that veteran was an amazing album since day one.

[@king6595]

Literally I'm in the guard and 1 billion understood everything what peggy said about being in the military

[@spencerj9928]

One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. Certainly the best interview Of Peggy. A true fan, asking great questions. Thank you!

such an incredible interview. a bit visceral but it shows peggy in a really great and true way. inspirational stuff

JPEGMAFIA is dressed like he's about to tarmac the M1

[@JoeyLevenson]

I just randomly clicked on one of his videos because I saw his name many times. So, happy I did. I love Industrial music and soundscapes and he does amazing stuff. He's very articulate. as well. He just mentioned The Cure, and I love him for it.
