super fascinating perspective from him. His production both on his own music and his credits is super refreshing. Thanks for taking the time to interview him.

[@futuresmiles5797]

[@letalucy644]

what's going on in that comment section?!

[@stewartsa]

same 3 guys comment on every video he has on KZbin with the same shit like a broken record over a few samples that weren't cleared

[@scrobwofl]

@@stewartsa Innit. Children who don't understand the history of hiphop or sample culture. Their parents are probably lawyers. He took some boring samples, made them interesting. These are the kind of kids who would abuse RZA or Dilla or Madlib as well. Children.

A couple of crybabies who don't understand the artistry and culture behind sampling

[@JJ-xk3ox]

production tips, easy just stole something you want put under kick and call it your, it's perfect bro his way 100%

[@leoelliondeux]

Lol wtf you talking about?

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

I see it in his eyes, he is depressed to point where he don't give a fuck, if they love or hate him, so his moves ''behind'' are 100% made by choice, but I starting to understanding him at all. it's future way to be, especially if you're from US, most of em going this way he has war on his personal point, I can see it, it's funny too

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

he is thief

[@b9751]

what did he steal

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

@@b9751 for example, AYYA - Second Mistake which is/was released on PAN, and he stolen it, without ask/permission (lying that he could't find any contact to AYYA or label (1 week before release), on track Octavian - RARI Ft. Future, or now from Clairo ''Riff'' he took, she played in studio or something when he was there, and many others cases.

[@scrobwofl]

@@user-ob9zo9cr4c It's called sampling. He's drawn so much attention to these unknown artists and all they do is complain.

[@leoelliondeux]

@@user-ob9zo9cr4c lol go back to your emo dungeon dude.

[@chore0158]

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]
