Combined with the fact that me and Mustard had fell out, so we wasn’t doing no music. Me and Terrace, we started to work heavy on My Krazy Life, but I’ve been knowing him before then. Every time we see each other, we always talkin' about working on music, so the time came when we really came in from the gate. Terrace Martin started working on Still Brazy from the start. This is not driven by the scenes it’s a narrator’s journey. I'm narrating on top, and you've got the scenes behind it. It’s different than the first album. This album, is more like a narrative album, and I'm narrating through through the album. I wanted to make My Krazy Life sound like a movie, you feel me? Sometimes you gon' need a lot of voices or sound effects just to connect the dots and make people feel l ike they watching or listening to a movie. You gon' feel how I’m feelin, and I'ma break shit down for real, straight to the point. You gon' feel like you paranoid, like you got shot. We know why the people was calling the album classic, so all we did is take that and apply it to the second album, you feel me? The album got a storyline, got a concept. It’s only a couple of mothafuckas who drop projects, so the albums I’m competing against is not even classical albums, period. Because when you compare it to all the music that’s coming out today, there really ain’t too many classic projects. Especially from the streets? There ain't too many of those. We know why the album was such a classic. We come from the same place, we talk about the same things, but it's just a different side of the story. His beats is not the same, his shit is super different and my shit different. It's the same lifestyle - he's on one side of the joint, and I'm talkin' 'bout the other side.
We telling two different sides of the story, but we really talking about all the same shit. He tell his story from his side, and then I tell my story from my side. Yeah, so some records are gonna represent paranoia for sure. Three weeks after I had my daughter, I got popped. I had my daughter, which was a good thing - a great thing, a blessing. I fell out with a lot of my good friends, including Mustard.
I mean, it's just a lotta paranoia and dark shit. He explains both the continuities and differences across his first two albums, responds to comparisons to Kendrick Lamar, and asserts why the whole rap game should to respect him and Nipsey for "Fuck Donald Trump." Here are some of the more interesting tidbits from our lengthy conversation with YG.
