She was a 2019 rapper in 2011. She was years ahead.

[@MaskedGorilla]

S Paea dude best way to say it, wish I would have thought of that lol

[@Jumalten001]

And now she irrelevant just like 99.9% of rappers after 2years.

[@Knuckles549]

@@Jumalten001 The only ones that have longevity are the ones that made tons of features in those 2 years and even then the hype dies.

[@cloud_monkey422]

Jumalten001 anyone would become irrelevant if their record company did to them as they did to her

[@NickyNicest]

@@Knuckles549 exactly.. look at lil pump. He was #1 on the billboards with tons of features. Now ask yourself, whens the last time you've seen him do anything relevant?

[@JeremyJung]

Kreayshawn truly doesn’t know how much of a trendsetter she was & so ahead of her time in the fashion & rap game

[@josephpeters49]

Gucci Gucci was ghost written...

[@kidarchitecture]

hahahahahaha

[@2davivadiva]

Some were ok. But not Gucci Gucci

[@nikitarayy]

Joseph P she literally said she didn’t write it, so it’s not ghostwritten as it’s not a secret

[@daisusaikoro]

@Daniel Garrett You kinda had to live the moment, Daniel. It's like trying to explain an inside joke to someone who wasn't around when the joke originated.

[@DreCannonz]

she looks like a young healthy Amy Winehouse

[@Backside5150]

Jewish girls. They beautiful.

[@PleaseDontShoveMeUpYours]

Backside5150 I though she was Italian or French. The Mediterranean is an interesting place.

[@magos_0083]

No disrespect, but yeah cause we don’t know how healthy she is, I mean she did gain some weight...

[@percydepoosey3179]

@@magos_0083 she did have a baby.

[@kianavillarreal441]

Antn E yeah dude she had a baby and turned 30 and is sober. That’s a real woman’s body. Not a 19 year doing hella lean spin top body.

[@johncohle8331]

Can we still call her if we need a fix call her if we need a boost.

[@LivewyreTheCyborg]

I think so, cuz see them other chicken heads? They don't ever leave the coupe.

[@maxpowers5491]

If you can't find that I think you should consider looking at a Google map

[@CurroComotions]

She really was ahead of her time, she deserved better but I know she is gonna be ok 💜 i wish her nothing but happiness Bumpin bumpin is my song stilllll

[@Manwhocares4u]

ahead of her time? She made like 3 good songs if I could recall. LMFAO

[@Akus75038]

How was she ahead of her time?

[@meestersecure9060]

"Ahead of her time" lmao you losers are easy to impress huh

[@CurroComotions]

Mid West you all dislike her and yet here you are... costs nothing to just stay silent if you have nothing nice to say, this is clearly a video for people who are interested in her so mind ya business 👎

[@redcuplifestyle5536]

CAN I SPEND THE NIGHT!! 😂

[@sorrowsuperstar10]

Kreayshawn still lookin like a snacc

[@SandStormXII]

[@lost1305]

She’s cool, and I swear Gucci Gucci still goes.

[@ItsJustAdrean]

Ikr. Her voice was perfect for that flow

[@krusher74]

As an older listener, it's interesting listing to them talk about 10 years ago like it was in the distant past.

[@johnstadler9643]

@Shawn G funny thing about life, the days are long yet the years go fast one of life's cruel paradoxes. Time is an evil cunt who knows how to make sure everyone feels at least a little bit that they got it just a little bit worse than any/every one else. Yes, even the extremely wealthy feel this every bit as much as the most poverty stricken. Every single human gets to feel just as screwed in ways that are beyond their control (not their fault therefore not deserved)

[@AlaiFoglia18]

Right!! This was our generation.

[@Neilukuk]

@@AlaiFoglia18 It seems a bit of an awkward interview.

[@romeoraymond]

It's like that for me as a 16yo too.

[@BlacGoogle]

I owe Kreayshawn and Lil Debbie for the reason me and my S/O of 6 years met eachother. Big love to Kreayshawn.

[@fivestar9226]

Randomly thought of Kreayshawn today and came across this interview. So glad to see how much she’s changed and matured. Hate to see that her time with fame was a bad experience, but I’m glad she’s doing okay and better now. Thanks @maskedgorilla for doing this interview. Seeing her made feel like I was 18 again.

[@clanbigger4]

Bro I really liked Gucci right when it came out && everyone was dragging her. But if it came out today it wouldn't even be an ironically hit it would be a slapper

[@missab1122]

LOVE her! Been listening to her since I was 17 when Gucci Gucci came out. Way ahead of her time, it's sad to see she's embarrassed about her past music, I would totally go see her if she went touring

[@jacquieb.5850]

Bumpin bumpin has always been my favorite kreashaen song

[@TightMoneyGripp813]

Her voice is hella seductive on that production.

[@slunkzilla]

same, she really flowed on that shit, was a fun bopping song

[@bigpete1287]

But can she spend the night at her house?

[@jacquieb.5850]

@@bigpete1287 this remains... unsolved

[@tanksta7390]

She has that natural radio personality! Would love to see more radio time with her in a pt 2! Lol her podcasts and dash radio sessions were fire! She always has diligent and analytical responses

[@MrMagikBananas]

Mike G Exactly! she needs to get back on her podcasts ...

[@diannh2894]

She was a huge part of culture and music. And people just took it for granted

[@hasekfan2450]

She looks the same as she did in Gucci Gucci, bruh immortal

[@peaceproduction3576]

Summertime is one of my favorite songs by her

[@ThePurestMayhem]

Easily her best song

[@joshuahouston]

Same!

[@Aviane96]

it’s summer time and your bitch is on my mind

[@anaversary-]

It's cute she laughed at what happened at rolling loud instead of feeling down about it.

[@scanlinespectre]

I kinda wish Speak and Kreay just kept working together and created something bigger. Their own label/team. I feel like they would’ve started an era. Something lyrical yet based. We needed that. We need that now!

[@user-yr1hj9vg5v]

When Kreayshawn said “I'm feeling sad, the label left me cause I'm a mom” in the yung lean song she really meant it lmao. Hopefully her new music starts popping off this year

[@LowCult]

What song?

[@scarymask333]

[@julievuitt0n]

Oscar Alfaro that hurt me also .... she wanted to just be creative and do what she loves

I wish her luck, but she just needs to reinvent herself like she’s doing and keep grinding. Best New Pod kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-xe52casiYnck Like, Sub, Dislike or Whatever 😉

[@dta1329]

Who’s here after her Twitter post? I want to know how Sony screwed her. Her flow was decent.

[@nagiuhti]

Yeah. I want to know. Can't watch the whole thing now, but I'll definitely come back to it later today.

[@heyshaneika]

label wanted her to be a pop star, when she didn’t agree they decided to only sell her album in hot topic and weren’t even available on the release day. she got dropped when she got pregnant and the label owns her album so she doesn’t get the $$ from sales or streams.

[@juugstar321]

Shaneika Johnson time stamp ?

[@heyshaneika]

bam on fire about 23 minutes in

[@loganmain4244]

Lets be clear. She ppl

[@spacemansam_]

It's awesome to see how mature she is now and her perspective on her past is interesting to watch. At the time she probably thought it was so cool and now she looks back and is embarrassed. We all go through phases , some better then others.

[@exzisd]

I still remember seeing bumpin bumpin and only today at 31 years old do I now realize wtf the song meant. I also remember Gucci Gucci and that song I understood. So ahead of her time.

Hearing this makes me sad for Bay Area artists that got screwed. First she had to deal with them forcing an image on her then getting her money stolen from her from financial advisors that were handling Brian mckinght and neyo. The same ting happen to The Cataracs in Universal Republic. They wanted them to just do party music like LMFAO and they said no. Smh I’m really starting to hate labels
