O.T. Genasis gets grilled about selling drugs, his life & his music.

[@minou_1]

Love seeing these young, intelligent & ambitious people on the show. Gives me a little hope for the future generation.

[@4Paczjkor]

Your forgot to put in the ( *sarcasm*

[@minou_1]

Well at least you replied.

[@vigilanteomisionero2805]

definitely. the guy is a class act

[@shericewillis1006]

lool

[@honeymiller7061]

Lmao

[@OmarScruggs]

Ebro always tryna grille somebody on tryna be more positive rappers but hes the program director and he'll keep playing that music but wont play a song like Nas Daughters....

[@BaselineTre]

That song is too real, having a daughter myself makes me cry when im on the verge of giving up.

[@zel6546]

I hope you know that he may be the head of that morning show but as stated in later interview he has no control over what is played they make it seem like they control it when ur listening to the radio but they dont control shit

[@geffres]

amen, sooooo true guy preaches making rap more positive, listen to the songs on rotation at Hot 97

[@iRRichiee]

EBro a fucking awful host he really is so fucking backwards...

[@mofrek8098]

Omar Scruggs They have to play negative music no matter what. I don't think they want to but they don't have a choice, they have to play the game.

[@Djvids-k6b]

if cocaine didn't ruin ones life, I myself would use that shit everyday! If you ever tried pure coke you would understand how amazing the earth is for blessing us with coco!!!! Seriously, it's a hell of a drug.

[@jordnkris]

Abusing anything is going to have a nagitive effect lol. Don't abuse and it's fine.

[@002brooklyn]

I'll do a hit

[@ssyungla]

Wtf 😳

[@BLOOD1MONEY]

THAT GOOD COCAINE MANG!!!....THAT GOOD HEISENGBURG MANG. THAT WHITE SNOW MANG!

[@christophersheppard9825]

I've tried, and it's great...

[@austinwooley2394]

I like this guy. I like how he is honest and some of the stuff he says is true and real. plus he isn't ignorant he speaks intelligent and knows whats up. respect man.

[@eli923]

This dude is pretty down to earth and friendly. He doesn't act like he's trying to put on a facade. Even though his music is not a good example for our society.

[@lexxisbosslady6182]

Talented young man.Held his own with the grilling. REAL. Hes a real artist not a rapper. Its evident by the way he expresses the way he creates his music from deep down inside. So intelligent.

[@mattadrev471]

This song sounds like almost every other song that came out in 2012, 2013, & 2014 and by the looks of it...2015.

[@kevink01639]

his voice sounds so much different to what he sounds like in the song

[@MikeLoveThyself]

Rappin is just like actin

[@jarvismcdoogle9041]

Yea if u listen to other songs by Ot he sounds different , I think he was doing like a fakeish Spanish accent in coco u no lol

[@yave1]

Nice interview. I always enjoy hearing the artists SPEAK. Too often, the general public thinks they KNOW an artist by listening to their music. You learn more about who they are through interviews... when they're able to elaborate on their ideas... their motives when writing their music... how they grew up... where they come from... what they stand for. This is a quality interview.

[@manaz28jose]

Since the first time i heard his music. I felt that he Keeps it Real.. Real real. Love the music. Love the Man. 👍😎

[@nickbagelboy]

Man, when I first heard the song, I just thought "All right, yet another club drug song and this rapper is the same as the next man, won't hear of him after, etc", but watching this interview, I appreciated his honesty with everything he was talking about. He's a lot more soft spoken than what I expected, seems like a chill and cool guy. I was expecting him to put on this "I'm so gangsta" facade but I was surprised. I've got respect for that. I fuck with him. Didn't know he had a mixtape or album or anything. I'll have to check it out.

[@Rodrigoangel123]

Totally killed it... he was so badass on the video and now gets on interview and his persona just went RIP IMO

[@ohhKilla]

He's doper in interviews. His personality is dope, what are you saying? Plus, this interview was in 2014 & he was still new & shy so, he might've been a little quiet but not really. He's dope

[@PlayerpakaKrisko]

The true is that this is music, and O.T. have amazing voice. I like it ! Greetings from Bulgaria

[@BaselineTre]

My nigga Belizean so I know he had that Blow on Deck, im Belizean myself so I know what goes down.

[@retroshark]

Damn, came here to learn a bit about the song and the writer, left actually quite impressed with his thoughts/feelings on the matter. Pretty deep interview, caught me off guard for sure.

[@MrROUNDHAY01]

I have an entirely different view of this man , the ways he is so composed and the truth he says, good on him :)

[@omenone2000]

This is a real interview. Big up to Ebro for asking the real questions

[@ScrewCrafty]

This was the only song artist who seemed to have a sense of reality

[@DocHalliday]

After taking the time to listen to this entire interview, I have to say I respect this dude a lot more than before. Not only because he's a Belizean (lol), but he told the truth about himself with no hesitation.

[@DSwaby21]

I respect him for keeping it 100. A lot of artist are really too hard for themselves in the rap game.

[@Twitch0n3]

seems like a genuine dude, hope he can capitalize

[@marcoguevara2730]

Ebro Is Like One Of Them Old Folks Like "Pull Ur Pants Up Youngster Why Do You Young Folks Play This Rap Music Anyway Music Isn't How It Use To Be" 😂😂😂

[@younglo4793]

+TheDrakonz lmfao

[@gordoesgtheboycott]

I loved when he was talking about his creative process for the song and said he likes to be creative lmao

[@rueben44]

There is something about him that I like even though i do not like the life style he came from. I know a lot of people are one dimensional and very simplistic about it but I see....possibility. Not only that why do people not realize every song, whether pop, country, or R&B, does not have to be deep. Some songs are just good to vibe to and you don't even listen to the words.

[@Tinytunes-25]

It's true that not every song has to be deep. But if I'm paying you to make music can it at least be made with skill, not like you shitted it out? That's the problem with this song.

[@sidimightbe]

You can tell he might act all nice and well mannered but those are the type of dudes thatl kill you without thinking twice

[@martinmcdonald6708]

its called brainwash

[@bvsandman]

That mans bank stack > Everyone else in that room combined.

[@WiseDaGod777]

this was positive! I like this dude o.t!!! He's got a good spirit and heart!!!

[@ibanez33150]

This guy is clearly a lyrical genius.

[@Zhaturianvisionz]

I like how the host is holding him accountable

[@masonschexnaider9004]

Baking soda is also used to stop battery leaks on cars.

[@ANTHONYc_x]

great interview, highly entertained

[@OverlorBeats]

Love his real talk ... Great insight!!

[@leventdeboyki]

if i remember correct he is the guy that had the song jackie chan and was signed by 50cent

[@jamesbondjr4771]

What?

[@Chasemillionzpromo1]

You are right he was signed to 50 cent

[@DWBehindTheLens]

Word!?

[@NickWright]

Lol at the DJs not actually letting OT talk.

[@Kemetblack90]

Lol hell yeah I noticed that 2. It's actually kind of annoying because we can't even really get to know anything about the dude

[@barberjon23]

Lol that moment when you randomly go on a video and Nick Wright on the feedback.

[@myronrogers1126]

[@momoneyriup5431]

Coke and Butter is my favorite album in 2016/2017.... Fire 🔥

[@ingarywetrust]

Seems like a legit dude, Ebro couldn't go at em too hard cuz he's actually bout that life lmaoo

[@SDG.12]

nah he just admitted he was a follower in high school, he wasn't bout that life...how you gone diss a dude who already admitting he was a loser?

[@ingarywetrust]

Yeah but how much men can admit that? Most would just feed pure BS on stuff they didn't do

[@SDG.12]

hco775 that's real talk & i appreciate his honesty.but my point is, it would be easier for Ebro to go at him if he was talkin bout how hard & how street he is

[@jamesbondjr4771]

sd g Follower meaning in the gang life. The followers were the worst ones. They did what ever the OG's said and put in most the work.

[@delcialambey3992]

Wow from dangriga, belize. My home town. I'm love with the coco. Many relatives picked up that coco from the beach side. Enjoy the song. It's dope.

[@ProlificJ]

He says "school is not for everyone" but he said earlier in the interview "kids stay in school"...These interviews are how they further push the deception. You watch and think this guy is likeable and he's making a lot of sense but not if you're actually listening. This is some serious confusion here! Yeah I'm a hater when it comes to this here!!!

[@ProlificJ]

tappedswine ummmmmn...no thanks. I'd rather have fun with my eyes and ears open. Keep your 2 cents cuz it sounds like you need it. ---- FYI: I normally don't clown people but with your disrespectful nonsense I figured I'd give it a shot.

[@KENDRICKREVIEWZ]

what a great rare insight into the mind of person who moved into the hood and was assimilated. He even has his square brothers take on it. Very honest. Maybe most honest hustler in an interview. Didn't glorify the drugs, just the purpose. One of the knuckleheads done made it out the trap. The trap, is the hood.

[@gabrielavila4215]

This guy looks like a lizard

[@damienvaladez9171]

Lamo 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TaeKeyYGRN]

Laughing ass my off? -_-

[@GamingCentralTV1]

***** autocorrect is a bitch man

[@THEno1SonicFan]

he does doesn't he? lol

[@HamptonCollabs]

on that david icke shit

[@RobertPaceII]

There subject at the end about knowing your surrondings around you was interesting. You don't have to be the most outspoken person, but it is important to be aware of people around you. You don't have to be boys with everyone as long as there is a line of understanding and acknowledgment. Stay on your P&Q's, and have situational awareness. I believe the quiet types have this more down pat I have seen than dudes that try to buddy up everybody, and this is because since he thinks everyone is cool with him, and they tell you all types of shit whether its true or if they are just blowing smoke up your ass, that outspoken dude guards get dropped because he may become too comfortable. But I believe you should be aware of anywhere you are regardless of the area.

[@BTCBlizzy]

this nigga talkin' bout I'm in love with the coco...and say "I stay prayed up"...lmaooo

[@elpengagrande5301]

"I'm in love with the toto" - now that's a song I can relate to.

[@jayalexander4623]

This dude official just watch him blow. Salute to the real.

[@jermeyjenkins305]

good interview

[@shymickey6]

very intelligent and observant conversation on the impact of music on all kinds of demographics.

[@EntertainmentH2O]

This dude humble af

[@mariogarcia7869]

He use to be signed to 50 Cent as Gunit 2.0 wonder why he never spoke on that.

[@__ghostwolf__]

Genasis soulja, riff raff and trinidad james got to be the most underrated in the game

[@SkaterBoyProductions]

lmao if that aint the truth, I don't know what is. They're the reason y I don't have J. Cole in my ipod.

[@gabewiltenburg4916]

Really Nigga Riff Raff

[@SkaterBoyProductions]

bigjayking24 lol

[@shirafudee]

not riff raff

[@alexchapman3879]

Genasis is so nice, didn't expect that from his music :P

[@nickypeeps]

this conversation was surprisingly intelligent from word one

[@MafiosoSticky]

Positive message... BE YOURSELF. the blessings will come to you; just be YOU.

[@justmenate]

I love that they try to understand such a simple fucking song...

[@ramp622]

"he's really into the creative part" LOL.

[@DustinBoden]

man thos eSM7b's

[@juniortim33]

Didn't he get killed on the wire? He looks like d'angelo barksdale

[@Camjj89]

Bruh I actually thought that was him in the thumbnail

[@Junyar]

lol was thinking the same thing!

[@raimondnu3]

Lolol. Ol about to snitch ass nigga

[@xavieravina7941]

Nigga hung him self lmao 😂

[@joeydaboss1001]

the beat kinda sounds like we dem boyz mixed with hate being sober.. overall some young chop type shit.. horrible either way lol

[@youngking1435]

Deadass

[@20_2x]

that beat is tough

[@LongBKNY]

You see his hat right....No Fucks Given dont diss Juice the Producer he did that shit in his bedroom that alone deserves props

[@LongBKNY]

***** Im just saying this is pretty decent beat and the fact that he did this by himself in his bedroom is pretty impressive, give props where its deserved, people seem to hate doing that

[@arsonistalwaysstrappedj7246]

20_2X LMFAO!!!!!!

[@beantheartist]

I hate the way these people interview some artists, they always show miniscule respect and always go off topic. Smh

[@shaquillemcvay8373]

I respect his hustle. he shouldn't have done this interview, he makes what sells and like many rappers who portray this lifestyle, it comes with the cost of a young mind. But in all he has figured out how to get 44 mill views he's intelligent, he knows what sell.

[@TheEddieDeuce]

It's a slow down version of We Dem Boyz...download that beat

[@makaya]

ohhhh Baking Soda, I thought he said Bacon Soda

[@jasmineeeee433]

So many artists blew up this year that will be irrelevant in 2015...it's a damn shame. We hype them up like they're the new Nas, Kanye, or Jay

[@justinagomezadarkwah5759]

Thanks for being honest O.T. Genasis

[@nate4nate5]

All these negative comments I'm reading, but this damn video has over 833,000 views, just goes to show you how jealousy & envy are a viral epidemic SMH.

[@jerradshow7199]

I didn't like the song when I first heard it. Screaming about coke. But then I heard Touchdown and then this interview and this dude is good.

[@HanKSN101]

when is this album dropping?

[@jem632]

best watched with Genasis's songs in the background :)

[@noordinarylove2268]

But who knows he seems like he's a good performer I like him👍👍

[@WillieYams]

Haha, Rosenberg edited himself around 1:13. He was about to say let's call a spade a spade.

[@MrDBcooper77]

I'm in love with the tacos!..onions and cilantro.....I got salsa..whoop whhoop!!

[@Rebrandking]

He seems like a fraud to me. He looks like he should be in the army.

[@omarelstak1002]

[@CEEPMDEE]

Omar Elstak nah.. church won't give you the real raw truth (without going in your pocket)

[@omarelstak1002]

[@JNV2028]

He looks like Bubba from Forrest Gump 😂😂😂😂

[@mainvideos2009]

+Miguel Cruz So he was in the army but left when he turned 18.

[@GangGang2x]

Thought this nigga was African😂😂😂

He is. He from Belize. They west African to west indies

Whip it through the glass nikka !

[@patrickholmstrm9842]

Anyone know where too buy the sweatshirt, his having on.. thx

[@thespaceproduction5505]

All of you guys are hater. This is a great interview; I don't even like his music or his new popular song. But this guy seems down to earth and actually reasonable.

[@72youngmackk]

I used that beat 1st back in tha early summer now dude makin a hit off my shit im bouta drop doe so it ain't nutt'n

[@Hf11k]

Who's supposed to be getting interviewed here?

[@sixmabona]

What is written on Ebro's cap? Is it Stüssy?

[@c2hollis]

Peter Rosenberg is right, Ebro is looking way too deep into the lyrics. It's a catchy song, no one gives a fuck.

[@dwoodruff4413]

why can't you just put interview with OT

[@ericescobar6576]

"i just had a couple drinks and everything" lol i think he means some bumps

[@mason_yt444]

I surprisingly learned something from this guy.

[@Kaemor]

12:40 Coco Butter He Needs Coco Butter!

[@makuwalkbowlegg]

Wasn't he signed to Gunit/Gnote some years ago?

[@DamedFilms]

no this song became good because it sounded GOOD. its so catchy there are so many songs about selling coco

[@JuanSanchez-yu5hm]

an look were he's at now.. hard work takes u to the top real talk

[@kcwise55]

Since Busta is Wise and Intelligent... he should have his artist reflect some deep and catching shit in the future songs...... deep shit can be made catchy too.... put the work in! O.T gotta heart for music... and Busta got the Wisdom. combine those two... Busta you can start a NEW Movement man!!

[@xSmoky_]

whats the make of his jumper?

[@cybaforce]

Yo this song is pretty big in Australia as well

[@plushpartyclub6794]

Don't get me wrong I see where all you youngings are coming from, but honestly, just because you think he's garbage doesn't mean the reality of the situation isn't real. He blew up and got mad money off one track legit. And he's seriously not that bad, hype flow, tight beats, can't hate on him too much. You want more lyrical shit go to the underground section of youtube

[@champion1642]

Oh..... I came here thinking he would admit the song was a joke.... but this is even funnier.

[@AKP11GGGUnit]

How could you not tell them about your deal with G-Unit? Even with Lloyd Banks plack in the backround looking at you. He was signed for couple years or something and toured around the world with them. Dont tell me 50 Cent didnt help your career to the point you are right now? The new artist back then called them self G-Unit 2.0

[@STOVEPiPE.]

Rosenberg checking O.T. Genasis Out Reaaaalll Gooodd Man. 4:09 - 4:22

[@aaikecools3842]

[@saijechilders1872]

what kind of headphones they always use

[@ygyujfgnbgut]

Beats by Dre, massive rip off, not worth the money. Product placement. You'll find a pair of Sony's just as good if not better for less than €50

[@saijechilders1872]

I have beats and the quality is far better than any I've used

[@osmaniqbal8354]

Dude is straight up promoting cocaine usage and Hot97 are advocating this shit? SMH.

HE SAID IT HE WAS AND PROB STILL IS A FOLLOWER, HINCE THE SONG. HE SAID IT WASN'T HIS LIFE AND EBRO SAID HE NORMALLY DNT RAP LIKE THAT
