I don't see why everybody hating on him and his accent get off his shit he's mexican from the south side of Atl so I mean it makes sense

[@Polymath1998]

I don't know why everyone tripping about his accent and shit. us blacks, Hispanics and native Americans we all go through the same shit. we all brothers and connected culture wish and all that so him talking like that shouldn't make yall hate if anything yall should worry if this bro start acting white.

[@ksaint7308]

[@Youngtayglobal]

[@jarb5110]

david ramos I know. right

[@cuzins45]

damn they was talking the whole time introduce the man Kap g

[@jarb5110]

I'm pissed how they had him sitting there for 3 or 4 mins talking S just sitting there quite

[@r8td]

Jar B exactly. Didn't even get him involved into the convo or nothing like he wasn't even there

[@elwellgreen504]

Jar B agreed.... I was like well damn isn't he the guess that sappose to be interviewed.why are they just converseing without him like as if he wasn't their..give the man some acknowledgement are something.

[@jarb5110]

Elwell Green sway is s Hater. that's what he is.

[@jarb5110]

Elwell Green This should of been called titled Do self. interview n guest Kap g

[@jarb5110]

Dj*

[@TechwoodPosse]

Blacks are very accepting people. As long as you show us love we traditionally will reciprocate. Once we realize one is just down to earth and cool it's nothing for us to embrace you. He is so Atl! It's crazy and cool. Much love and success to this young man and Atl for embracing him and supporting his hustle. Atlanta native, live in College Park and love positive outcomes!

[@rickyharris3776]

KAP G MY NIGGA!! HIS ACCENT DEEP BUT IF HE GREW UP HIS WHOLE LIFE IN A BLACK HOOD .. ITS GONNA RUB OFF ON HIM

[@benji1583]

When he said lil @ 4:14 look @ ol girls reaction 😂

[@jarb5110]

Ben Pena I think she was surprised because th3 story he was saying

[@coach3155]

sway is the best interviewer out and I love how hes a bay area native . THank you for being so legitimate sway. Also kap g is one of my new favorite artists atm. yadada

[@elsamendez6645]

Sway hella rude, not introducing Kap G from the beginning.

[@fatherandsonvibes]

Faking is different, if you are raised in a different culture, you become that culture. Take any baby and raise them in a differet Culture, they will look their race, but Sound and live the culture they grew up in. To many examples to list.. Kobe speaks fluent Italian. I grew up in LA County, I can take you to so many areas where you see a curtain race, but the grew up a totally different culture. The more culure the better. Best to you brother.

[@RMCES4LIVE]

People must realize that everything from accent, vocabulary, personality, style and your perception of the world around you shaped by the community and people around you. He's clearly Latino-American, he knows enough Spanish to get around, but it's worth noting that he says he was the only Latino family in College Park, which is a primarily African-American community. Therefore, it makes sense he sounds the way he does and speaks the way he does, he grew up within that culture. Also, to all my Latinos that say he isn't "Mexican" enough, why would you be down talking a Latino who's making a name for himself in the hip hop community? He's taking his own approach to the music industry and no one can hate on that.

[@_NegusFreeman]

Been a fan of Bruh since the Kids at Play days.. salute homie.

[@burneraccount8620]

Damn you've been here for a minute.

[@_Maxten]

i like Kap G. he gives off this vibe thats kinda intimidating just because the way he talk . but i was working backstage for an event and he came to watch all the performances. he didnt need to do that. everyone else chilled in their trailers but he came out to support and like he was taking it all in. tip toeing over where bc there was no good area to see but respect to him.

[@SarBChild]

"Like a Mexican" is a solid tape! ✌🏾

[@NemisisRecords]

[@ChicagoStreetTV]

cartel mgm from Atlanta

[@edgarmorales122]

no, he's from L.A, but raised in atlanta

[@JTThomas82]

He's putting College Park on the map. That's one city I do not fuck with.

[@johnnylozano2209]

Love Kap but Bro Why Rap a Song He Already Maid :,( Stull Dope tho

[@heypunk7]

lmao why kap g always spittin the lyrics of his songs on freestyles

[@eduardoreyes6659]

Drakes,kayne, pusha t, meek, them and more have done it

[@heypunk7]

yeah ik but kap g is one of my favorite upcoming rappers and i expect better from him lol

[@Mr2NDCUMMING]

+heypunk7 stfu

[@tyrushbk]

i feel like he actin

[@aldavis8401]

no shout out to SPM?? dawg, you know all Mexicans bang the south park mojado. you even did that remix of beans and rice smdh

[@tonyperez3943]

not true not that many mexicans in chicago fuck with spm. we don't fuck with mexican rappers here unless they from chicago

[@aldavis8401]

+Tony Perez the fact that you know who SPM is makes my point. even if you dont bang the dude, you know damn well who he is. also, he's the best Mexican rapper to ever bless the mic and if you dont agree with that, you dont know enough about rap.

[@aldavis8401]

+liloneizthashit Proper Dos does go hard but im my honest opinion, SPM still the best. I can count with one hand the people that have even heard of him but as far as SP goes, even whites and blacks fuck with him. His lyrics are not just for chicanos, that shit is universal. cant really say that about ANY other Mexican rapper except for the new cats like Kap G coming up.

[@tonyperez3943]

+al davis just because i know who spm is don't mean every other mexican in chicago know who he is...... none of my friends knew who he was until i should them but in chicago we only fuck with chicago rappers... so the only mexican rappers we listen to is gangsta boogie. which even blacks fuck with gangsta boogie. from twista to montana of 300. and for the new rappers that are mexican in chicago its reckless cartel, wakko dawg and lil E, and savage Da boss.

[@tonyperez3943]

[@user-wl3mu5tt4h]

Is it just me, or does Kap look mixed?

[@jonahgaspar3536]

He seems as an actual Mexican as in indigenous decent.. Even when he speaks spanish he has a native accent.

[@user-wl3mu5tt4h]

+Jonathan Gaspar I'm sure he had Indian and obviously Spanish in him. I just think he may have some African I'm him to cause of his nose.

[@9548470cm]

He looks str8 Mexican to me

[@JS-ts3dr]

that's exactly what Mexicans are, Mestizos (mixed), Native Indian (usually Aztec or Mixtec or Olmec) and caucasian (Spain), now to what degree, that's where it gets tricky, since the northern part usually had more Spanish-white immigration and the south had lesser, northern Mexicans are usually lighter where southern Mexicans are darker typically. Mexico had a very small if not negligible participation in the African slave trade, so at most I'd be surprised to even see a 3% African origin for the genetic makeup of us Mexicans, it wasn't like Brazil or the Caribbean.

[@windycity312]

+Joey Santos don't forget about Colombia, Colombia's population was 13% full African decent, and had the 2nd most African decent people in the world besides Brazil and Africa

[@Apoxxgaming]

"he wants to be black". First, he grew up with black people, so no shit the culture got into him. Second he doesnt since he is always talking about his heritage.

[@michaeljordan9334]

Pinche coleo For us culture we don't fuck with white boys in fake nigga pinche vato

[@Apoxxgaming]

Sosa Legendary White boys? Who the hell is white. And a nigga doesnt mean he is black, atleast in my experience it is when you a real dude, that you a homie. Now you obviously don't know shit about the hood, since you live in the fucking mountains in Mexico City in shit.

[@LosTemazcalenos]

Wtf is a 'CODDIDO'?

[@HeyBob-O]

Wiki: "The corrido (Spanish pronunciation: [koˈriðo]) is a popular narrative song and poetry form, a ballad. The songs are often about oppression, history, daily life for peasants, and other socially relevant topics." Now in days they more talk about cartel moves, drug trafficking stuff like that. I guess you could say it's like trap music minus the trap type beats.

[@LosTemazcalenos]

+38ecko38 oh I know what a 'corrido' is. I fuck widd them. And I know how to pronounce it but I clearly wrote 'CODDIDO' because that's what he said.

[@HeyBob-O]

+leoFpolloTV o ok my bad thought you was really wondering what it was.

[@LosTemazcalenos]

+38ecko38 it's all good. We both knew what he meant. But his ATL accent kinda heavy.

[@HeyBob-O]

+leoFpolloTV yeah you ain't lying. He seems like he keeping it true to where he from tho.

[@chadtarvin2567]

Dayum Sway a Hater

[@kidindigo721]

does he speak Spanish? or nah?

[@kevinsantzo3556]

Yea

[@kidindigo721]

+Kevin Santizo dont sound like it. lol. he said Coddidos like a white boy forreal. Its Corridos

[@kevinsantzo3556]

+KiD iNDiGO lmao idk then

[@kevinsantzo3556]

+KiD iNDiGO at least he said "narcos, mole, and tamales" right

[@ImJusThtGuy]

+KiD iNDiGO bro I'm half mexican and dominican and every mexican I speak to in Spanish look at me strange because I speak Spanish weird.

[@smoothoperator2446]

disrespectful how they talked for 15 minutes before introducing him . smh

[@mm90556]

No shout out to spm

[@deandrenukhopkinsnuk273]

lmao why they always bringing up mexican food or culture? i dont never here in thier interviews about eating chicken or black culture when they interview black people lmao thats just wrong

[@user-wl3mu5tt4h]

He just loves his own culture. What's wrong with that? A lot of rappers embrace themselves

[@AfterHoursTV]

looks nervous as hell

[@waytoocozy]

first

[@silenthaze8604]

You mean Mexican?? We ain't latinos

[@brandonmoreno1752]

Silent Haze the fuck does that mean???

[@brandonmoreno1752]

Mexicans are Latinos...

[@brandonmoreno1752]

Or Hispanic

[@gregoryhemphill8757]

I like this Kap G but it's 2017 are we still saying NoHomo. I mean if you not gay and you secure in your sexuality you can just be who you are.

[@meliyaross1230]

like why want y'all become a rapper and do something better if he's lame and a wannabe black when he's not that like all that hating for what man.

[@Sejisherrera]

he trying to sound like future or migos saddddd

[@Sejisherrera]

He needs to be orginal or make his own style not just band wagon on what's pooping right now

[@eduardoreyes6659]

He sounds nothing like future or mijos you can actually understand what hes saying

[@adriancardenas8138]

they all talk the same they from atlanta dumb fuck

[@jonahgaspar3536]

No he's not.. That is his accent.

[@shesojaded3625]

he's not "trying" 😐 that's how he talks stfu

[@ImMoonMan]

This dude is cool but I refuse to indulge myself with how shallow they are about the culture and environment he was brought up in. He is clearly money driven and using what works for him as great as that is he is no different from young thug in a Mexican frame. Not knocking the guy he's great but as far as the image he portrays for Mexicans in any place it just isn't as poignant as it should be. If Trump wins he would not have made a difference for the culture, moving on.

[@AyeeeItsCam]

This interview is so ignorant

[@burneraccount8620]

That's not even the proper way of using that word.

[@burneraccount8620]

No I do know how to use it your just a person that copy's what other people say. "Ignorant" is lack of knowledge on a topic or lack of knowing. You're making yourself look like an idiot I'm just correcting you.

[@AkilBrown876]

Drama is corny lol

[@g.valverde2986]

I can't stand Dj fake Drama

[@Javiermeza805]

[@Mexica-qw3ok]

mexicans buddy get it right not Latinos not hispanics.. indigenous pride! indigenous land! always will be , never forget 1492 ! latinos=southern Europeans Italians real Latins .. hispanics=Spaniards from Spain. we do not let the blood of rape define who we are..mexicans, central americans , native americans and first nations people of canada using colonial terms..we are one people.

[@imasavage8029]
