Shia LaBeouf Interview: a True Hip-Hop Head, Father a Drug Dealer, Married Life + Freestyles

[@maxonfire67]

Shia LaBeouf turned from one of the most hated actors to one of the most badass and original guys in Hollywood. Respect!

[@Aura_m93]

maxonfire67 how waa he hated ?

[@MrNikeFresh808]

Black Titan He was plagiarizing speeches, and apology's. Went through a little mid life crisis, showing up to awards drunk ect

[@mutenroshi3256]

+MrNikeFresh808 who cares . he was in holes hes forever a legend to 90s babies

[@MrNikeFresh808]

muten roshi lol ay man, I was just stating why he was disliked.

[@Supa-Fly]

MrNikeFresh808..midlife crisis he's only 30😕

[@Cloneme12]

Damn you can really tell Shia labeouf is a fan of the show he fanning out right now nice to see

[@kyliedonnelly1]

Cloneme12 facts i love it hes real asf

[@MrNikeFresh808]

I've never watched a Shia interview before, but after this I've grown a new found respect for him. He's a real dude!

[@MrNikeFresh808]

And he has Barz, I wasn't hip!

[@TTV20209989]

Of course he is lol look at how he dresses he ran outta fakkk to give about 10 years ago

[@kthxplzdrivthru]

I enjoyed it too.. At least until I realized he was putting a spin on his voice to sound more "hip" or as some call it "black"

[@MrNikeFresh808]

Joel McInnis Was he? I mean maybe this is his normal tone of voice and everything else is a front. Example you talk different around your boys than you would a job interview

[@bconnolly07]

He's an Actor. He can do or be any person he wants b. But it has to be authentic with skill. And he fucking HAS IT

[@Vendeteran]

Shia LaBeouf and Keanu Reeves the two realest dudes in Hollywood.

[@ANTHydro-zr9pr]

😅😅😅

[@crystalmethod5005]

BROOOOOO real shit

[@TYpac]

[@cooljhags7356]

I got mad respect for Shia real talk coming on Sway nervous as fuck then proceeding to kill the 5 Fingers of Death I mean hey you gotta respect this dudes hustle, plus he knows his rap shit too. Definitely more respect to Shia.

[@muayadnasraden6718]

[@dshorter3253]

lmao holy shit

[@ripboardsnj]

fukn dead

[@miguelpoky2]

acting was just a side hustle -Shia

[@Hideotic]

Donald Trump is the president, A Tribe Called Quest released a new album, and Shia LaBeouf spit the best freestyle of the year. Is this an alternate reality?

[@idknuttin]

you forgot that the cubs won the world series

[@shhbeatzclub1]

Hideotic lol yes

[@terroncooley14]

idknuttin and the Cavs won a championship

[@thejackster135]

😂

[@Jakecousteau_Twitch]

cubs win the world series

[@loki350]

"Movies for the blind, and that blew my mind, and I was making movies at the time."No one peeped that?! Lmao, bars, bruh not even tryin

[@MKB1L]

Shia is a legend man I've been rockin with him since Even Stevens

[@lopezmiguel4864]

[@MentalTransformations]

You can tell he's a genuine cat much respect to him. I respect the humbleness!

[@yesbwana]

Serial monogamist Shia? I Just came here after seeing his 'Conversion to Catholisim' interview from last week. It had a similar feel to this, trying to reinvent himself in the eyes of the public... Todays headlines, 1) Shia LaBeouf says he has cheated on every woman he has ever been with 2) Shia LaBeouf Admits The Abusive Stuff About His Dad In Honey Boy Was Made Up 3) Olivia Wilde Asks Shia LaBeouf Not to Quit ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ in Leaked Video: ‘I’m Not Ready to Give Up’ In December 2020, LaBeouf was sued by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs for sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit also detailed allegations that he abused another ex-girlfriend, stylist Karolyn Pho. LaBeouf stated in his response that he had been "abusive" to himself and those around him "for years" and that he was "ashamed" and "sorry to those [he] hurt". Also, remember the 'Plagiarism' weirdness back in 2013. Real odd. Genuine cat... or professional actor playing yet another role is still full of shit.

[@Dafluffy1]

I'm glad he gave Missy a shout. She gets overlooked in hindsight but she dominated for a good stretch.

[@Dave....]

Dafluffy1 facts. One of the best female mc's of all time.

[@EmceeDrew]

definitely my favorite female emcee

[@critterdale2000]

True, she's a legend of rap in general, not just for the females either

[@heykau9874]

He got tattoo tribute to Missy

[@jesussaves2043]

I love it how they just casually call RZA and Primo like nothing.

[@jesussaves2043]

How does he not listen to Vinnie Paz?

[@ryanreynolds930]

WuTang Gyarados right? he just said no...

[@hughmungus9503]

Cos only some are aware

[@360.Tapestry]

he said no, but now he's aware. all is well

[@jaydenholman8306]

theyre just people yo. human

[@mcscars]

Just found the biggest and deepest respect for the man Shia LaBeouf. This dude fell in the cauldron of talent when God made him, and then was showered with genuine modesty. Un. Believe. Able.

[@theonlykingA]

Everybody thought shia was going crazy but this whole time he was just getting woke

[@210saMisfiT]

WTF are you talkn about yo❓❔..... Shia's been woke he had real headz directing him..... You probably have NO KNOWLEDGE or any IDEA ...CLUE on who Cage Kennelz, Aesop Rock, El-P, or Camu Tao... RIP.... Or the whole DEF JUX label in general..... So if have no clue on any of these underground NY legends/headz.... Well Sir you are still dead and have not been woke yet.... But Shia has been woke before his fame

[@charlieamy2279]

theonlykingA that’s how it is every. Fuckin. Time maaaan....

[@takme2DamusicstoRE]

They thought the same about Dave Chappelle

[@MIKEMADNESS215]

Attention.. For all of you lyrical critics.. He is not a MC/Rapper.. He's an Actor.. He just enjoys The Hip Hop Culture.. And most of it is off the head.. Ijs..

[@CoreyMcKinneyJr]

I knew Shia was one of my favorite Actors for a reason.

[@KC_ESQ]

Always loved Shia's acting skills but now I have a huge amount of respect for him as a person. He's a true hip-hop head and has a wholesome perspective on life. Good, down to earth kind of guy...and DAMN HOMIE GOT BARS. Just want to point out that I think his was an actual freestyle. The other guy, Oswin, killed it no doubt but it was obviously pre-written. Dope nonetheless. Great interview, Sway! Show less

[@GodSnapalla]

HE GOT THE ANSWERS, SWAY! HE GOT THE ANSWERS, SWAY!!!!!!

[@westindian10]

GodSnapalla lmao

[@lct8954]

[@hostiletoes1145]

I thought this would be some weak pre written bs but your boy shia more hip hop than most the industry 🔥🔥🔥

[@CrisCozy]

can't wait to see 8 mile part 2 starring Shia Labeouf

[@0404chrisjz]

Cris Cozy he'd prolly kill that role

[@kensleyvalcin03]

Cris Cozy hell naw lmao.

[@jorgeg6293]

I thought about the same shit

[@carsmusicandclothing7066]

people needa stop comparing white dudes that spit to Em that shit is old now

[@westindian10]

cars and sneakers agreed

[@netht8603]

So much respect for Shia. Had no idea how inspirational and uplifting the dude is. He's got a damn good outlook on life and a good balanced head on his shoulders. Keep doing you.

[@TheVitoandollini1]

im legitimately shocked

[@andrewramirezjr.6620]

Vito Andollini The man is ill and will catch heavy viral activity for this! Shia!

[@Dose4thDegree]

Yes! he named Cage favorite song of him "Suicidal Failure" dude he is a true Hip-Hop Head! this guy has the brains, the lyrics and love for Hip-Hop! I loved him before and now I love him even more.

[@Dose4thDegree]

Dude, Sway can call any legend on the phone! Lol dude I would pass out if I ever get to talk to Dj Premier & Rza!

[@Vanisonic]

This has gotta be my favorite interview in like 2 years lmao Shia is an entertaining dude! And shout out to that dude at the end, was given the opportunity in this interview and ran with it.

[@mlint007]

This was one of the best interviews! I love what you said at the end about there's no divisiveness here. Music has always brought us together. LOVED IT!

[@DanielKharlas]

This is the best sway in the morning I've watched. Just so beautiful seeing someone have their dreams come true like this. Mad respect for Shia. Mad respect for Sway.

[@WonderKRW]

I always liked him, but you know when you watch people on screen you always think you know them but you know the characters they play. He a real one, great guy.

[@1muzikmania]

A real one. Been a fan since Even Stevens.

[@irwinfletcher3879]

Shia Was A Cool Cat way before this freestyle hes just a humble everyday guy who happens to be a superstar.

[@Also401]

sway got primo and RZA in a sec OG status

[@carsmusicandclothing7066]

that man been had the juice

[@PhiloTheGod]

Im saying

[@eobardthawne1255]

Eminem need to mentor Shia so he could become the Rap God apprentice on some star wars type shit

[@Cloneme12]

Eobard Thawne I wouldn't be suprised if they had conversations before

[@mrjameswarejr]

Cloneme12 Facts!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@davidwestwood2457]

haha! dude, that would be unreal

[@saibabax]

the syllable play tells me he is a student of em, fo sho.

[@monyma5176]

sway in the morning is the best radio show period... only on this show things like this happen were people have a true appreciation of hiphop. sway gives oppurtunities to up and coming rappers and you can tell the passion he has for hiphop. only on sway you can separate the fakers from the real ones and shia is real. I like hot97 and breakfast club, but both aint got nothing on sway

[@jaydon60555]

amen

[@daud_abdullah]

Mony Ma #PREACH

[@Courtneyig]

WORD!!!!

[@bhobolate9054]

Mony Ma sway just shows the love he the best fr

[@bconnolly07]

Well said. Glad someone else can recognize and connect with an authentic vibe. Sway, Shia, black, white, written, not written. None of that shit matters. It's hip hop. It feels great to be in the cut vibing off each other and having fun. Shias goteeemm

[@kylehammitt566]

His Humility is Endearing

[@busyworksbeats]

Just DO IT...DO IT! lol

[@StellaJardin]

yesterday you said tomorrow, so just DO IT!!!!

[@ProdUnknown757]

wild running into you here, just watched a tutorial...

[@sirpsychosexy]

Ok game we need an "if I produced for Louis Stevens" video

[@goodar13]

Busy Works Beats .TV. he killed it

[@zan752000]

This interview is so unbelievable, just wow. I have a new respect for Shia.

[@jacobelis79]

Shia can do no wrong! He's a true artist and he's been real since Even Stevens. I'm a lifelong fan!

[@Beg4mercy1st]

Utmost respect for dis dude. Salute to Shia ...from a U.S. Marine.

[@robc6022]

Thank you for your service.

[@xtopher8063]

N. Compton you are appreciated..

[@poet253rd]

I'm 31 and been fucking with Shia since he first came out in the acting scene. Didn't know he would come this far from Even Stevens and Holes but I've seen most of his work and after watching this, new found respect for the man. It's not an act, it's who he really is.

[@LinkBeats15]

"SHIA CAN ACT & HE GOT BARS, SO WHILE Y'ALL SIT THERE AT A COMPUTER & HATE, HE'S OUT MAKING MOVE$, YOUR NOT.

[@terrytibbs1930]

"You're"

[@marz_m9]

i would really like this to kinda be a series. just find whoever who silently spits and put em on. I really surprised by this. shia has been workin'

[@zaesepulveda7980]

Matthew Damele i second this

[@beatfanatic9438]

The person he mentions as his mentor, Jon Voight, is Angelina Jolie's father. Him saying that "he was a lonely man, no family" was because Jolie decided to cut all ties with her father. Crazy shit! The best always had mentors to guide them until they were ready to blaze their own trail.

[@heykau9874]

When they filmed Holes, Angelina just cut ties with his dad..exactly after the release of Lara Croft which they act together. Whereby Shia was just emancipated from his parents at age 15. Both reconciled with respective families now, like Jon reunited with Angie more than 10 years ago..and apparently Angie and Brad helped Shia to recover and get sober after his 2014 arrest. I believe Shia met the right person to learn about acting at very young age. We should thank Jon Voight for giving us Shia

[@CajunAdrienne]

I really like Jon Voight in his movies! Return to lonesome dove was great with him, and one of his latest ones that makes you think of he and Angelina's cutoff relationship is the movie Orphan. It's awesome. He's a lonely grumpy old man in that movie .

[@girtisholland]

I feel like the only reason he had a rough start to his freestyle was because his idols were listening. I don't think he gave a shit about the radio audience, but knowing Premo and RZA might have been listening was probably nerve racking. I'm so happy he's finally getting some respect. I had respect for Shia when ppl were calling him crazy (which he is...in a good way) and I'm glad he's earning that respect back.

[@shaneiceandrade]

I love how he’s just so humble and excited to be on the show.

[@FLEX0NTV]

He earned my respect when he mentioned Ab Soul as one if the current high caliber lyricist out right now. Soulo slept on, nigga spit flames!

[@zachharris8969]

this was great I truly respect Sheila for being a modest humble person and for sway calling up his idols. keep the good work up sway!!

[@GladiatorCollectibles]

Lawless is an amazing movie

[@Moodymsmo30]

AlmightyAlbert yes ssssss

[@Prezzihoe]

AlmightyAlbert oh hell yea 4 of my favorite actors are in that movie

[@patatedoucebb2919]

AlmightyAlbert the scene where Forrest confronts him at the bar after he got beat up is the realest shit. old school familial energy like you don't see very often in hollywood.

[@priimovalentiino1640]

AlmightyAlbert tom hardy is an amazing actor loo

[@eturnity6059]

Dude raps better then most of these new rappers

[@dasanigga9654]

Eturnlty Clan If you're saying that, then you really don't listen to much hip hop

[@skidflapz5076]

Dasanigga No just means you havent lived long enough

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Dasanigga Nah the new class is mostly trash. We still have some gems tho like Denzel Curry, Anderson, and other people but those talents are taken backseat to trash fuckery.

[@boasyV2]

RJ Foyles denzel isnt even that good

Dude you don't know what you are talking about. There are more insanely talented new rappers now a days then ever before. There are just underground

[@BlackJesus2047]

Omg I was not expecting that! Shia got BARS!!!! He's better than like 85% of the rappers out right now. Omg my jaw just dropped, wow blown away seriously

[@KidCannon4407]

he said Kendrick and ab soul 👏

[@parrishthomas92]

Evan Lewis exactly he gave soul recognition

[@RySteez]

That was so cool how they called premier and RZA. Shia has a deep understanding of hip hop and is a humble dude! Respect.

[@WubbnsWorld]

Dammn, that Ab Soul shoutout made me gain a lot of respect for Shia

[@ShowShootersTV]

SOUL BROTHER NUMBER 2

[@tracybibb7622]

Ab soul is 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@thankubelle]

shia been rappin since even stevens! it has been great to watch him grow and evolve. i took him serious as an actor when he did Holes (1 of my fav books as a child). much respect to him!!!

[@LR.1995]

28:10.. "I used to watch you on Even Stevens, I don't know if you remember that show.." Lmao why would this guy say that.. Of course he remembers the show, he was the main character..

[@ayaction]

[@dragorocky]

This was quintessential Sway-in-the-Morning. Textbook killin' it. Fucken LOVE this shit.

[@bconnolly07]

Ha!! Agreed. Glad someone can recognize skill and appreciation!!!

[@graycious3]

Shia is talented.

[@HomePremiered]

He is Donald Glover type of people, but still young , I like it.

[@lamontstokes2097]

Ivan Popovic ikr. I was thinking the same think. Wow

[@1337Oblivious]

Ivan Popovic sorry bruh Donald turned into one of them diva niggas

[@HomePremiered]

You can call him whatever you like, but you have to respect the work he put in, making an album in completely different genre that has the same or better quality than his previous work. That takes balls.. and talent. He just embraced what he already had. That diva nigga is inspiring af. :D

[@domoniquesmith88]

Shia killed the five fingers, but that verse from Oswin....YOOOOO!!!!! I've loved Shia since "Holes", never knew he was so close to hip hop, this was a great interview!

[@vinny5638]

wow this man just shouted out Aesop Rock and Cage. Salute.

[@minipaintballer]

Man his bars are dope as fuck, freestyle flow is only off slightly but almost makes it more interesting. Authenticity.

[@Cloneme12]

Alex Marr yea you can hear the nervousness in his voice some written bars in his freestyle but it sounds good

[@theunicorn5515]

nigga, shia lebauf the reason why I don't pick pennies up on tails. (even Stevens)

[@monyma5176]

dude is a head

[@jlp3803]

The Unicorn real

[@elizabethkorthof3866]

Shia is DOPE!!!!!!! The dude is true Hip-Hop!!! OSWIN IS THE TRUTH!!! I haven't seen somebody BEAST the mic like that in a LONG time!!!! I'm bout to find Oswin's WHOLE catalog right now. Hope he's on Tidal and can't wait to see the video directed by Shia!

[@Mustytunergarage]

He always was my favourite actor but this nigga got possessed by the spirit of free style shiiiiiiit this mans a legend

[@Champion-Heart]

Wow Shia killed it, that Benjamin kid got bars most definitely. Cool interview 👍

[@DJKINGAUTHOR]

I listened to this broadcast at work and was blown away! Shia is Hip-Hop!!

[@Bty-b5f]

Power of Sway's Universe in real time. Dialed up DJ Premiere and RZA off the random for Shia. MAGNITUDINAL.

[@kudabeen]

Oswin is inching in my personal top 10...he just keep adding dope moments along with content that appeals to my conscience...respect

[@MFBloosh]

Shia spittin' fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@simbadraven5915]

Oswin, you are amazing. You are an anointed spirit, a special Emcee.

[@zzzzz111ish]

Shia is that dude. Love every movie he's every been in. Especially Holes.

[@jjdbzfan18]

I would die if this happened to me. I remember a couple of months ago my dad put Erick sermon on the phone and I was so happy. I love how the hip hop community can be so embracing.

[@timdobb]

lol respect to Shia realizing he was dry snitching on his dads plug "He used to grow for uhh.. He used to grow for a lot of reasons"

[@carlosslim7305]

Amen Shia, shout out from sacramento...Cali done right raised us 80s kids!! Great wrk brotha!!!! Yee

[@sublime88sublime]

Not a single boring moment in the whole interview. Great watch/listen

[@aliunitus]

[@Quandryification]

this is one of the best interviews i've seen in while...

[@NestaOG]

Funny that people around my age been watching him since we was little kids lol

[@j.aime8]

It's eye opening watching this interview as a Shia fan! In all his earlier interviews when asked about his family he always said that his dad performed as a clown...now it's been a while since I've watched his interviews when he was younger but i really remember him saying clown not drug dealer...nice to see him so open and honest even though he didn't have to be

[@djdamage514]

Gotta love how he's not letting his dreams be dreams

[@Coldlife565]

Believe me his rap dreams will always be dreams

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Respect to Oswin Benjamin despite all the attention was on Shia he did his thing...hope Shia helps this young brother into the right direction...cuz he need it more than Shia...respect to Shia too for delivering...

[@hazelhuff3756]

i value Shia more than these new rappers who dont freestyle and dis the 90s legends. At least Shia did his due dilligence & is well studied on the subject

[@Anerdi1]

Yo real talk I was not expecting Shia to go in like that!! New respect

[@PatsDynasty]

sway the king of gassing youll never not feel like you didnt kill a freestyle on there

[@bconnolly07]

You saying Shia didn't kill it? Yo, do some research. Shia is real...actor; fucking incredible actor. And his life and attitude and spirit in general. Sway recognizes real. Shia is just that bro

[@PatsDynasty]

Bryan Connolly no

[@spyderj3756]

PatsDynasty How many of these whack rappers have rolled through there and DIDN'T freestyle. One MF was complaining about the beat being whack!! Shia did the damn thing!! Much respect!!

[@priimovalentiino1640]

PatsDynasty false statement.. he has had people bomb and let them hear they was trash! Lmfao

[@lifestraight]

Who has he let hear they were trash? Fetty Wap was wack and he gassed the hell out of him!

[@mikealnarshi3554]

Shia is more hip hop than Drake

Darke ain't Hip Hop

[@WhattuppB]

[@GGUOD444]

Drake for the suburban kids who wish they was hip hop

[@bruceleeds7988]

***** you can't hate Drake he is completely harmless, he ain't Hip Hop tho

[@armandozamarripa2676]

Shia LaBeouf is a genuinely humble man. i respect this dude even more just cuz he says he fucks with Ab-Soul! fuck wat the media says!

[@narcissistskryptonite5734]

Whys his backstory sound like a movie plot

[@Phonophobe]

because it's shiaaaaaa

[@patatedoucebb2919]

zacklton you should. look up how he got his agent. he used a fake name and called her office to represent himself.

[@ShadowInkfam]

Camille Pango ty for that idea. Where did U read it?

[@thisishappening1732]

Shadowink tennison I seen an interview with his first agent and she said he just called up her office and came through right of the street.

[@supak108]

Respect to shia man way to big up the underground legends as well as the pacs and premiers. How many actors are repping camu tao, that's dope.

[@nickcip8092]

This man is a genius and a visionary.

[@JenJimR]

God damn!!! he came with that heat!! newfound respect for Shia, esp cuz he from L.A.!
