G Eazy Talks Bay Area Racism+Being Hip Hop's Elvis!! CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/12IN6vb HOT97: www.hot97.com TWITTER: / hot97 FACEBOOK: / hot97official
Cmon mane I'm from the bay & I like this dude, I don't think he's trying to exploit the genre I actually think he is just being himself homie. He's a sincere artist & a dope mc period black white or purple
G isn't talking about things he didn't live. He's not pretending to be someone he isn't. He clearly has respect for the game and those who came before him. He's NOT Iggy Azalea.
I absolutely love how he has a handful of songs that are about the girls he loved but let slip away and is pretty much saying he's sorry and that he still loves them but also has those songs that are about partying and having fun with your friends haha
hajeraa Glad you all learned something. Present day hip hop isn’t “true hip hop”. Very few young artist know the legacy. Keep learning and researching. We are proud of G-Eazy in the Bay! We only accept those that know history here!
hes got alot of respect in the bay area, only ppl that hate are the ones who are jealous of his attention forreal. He really interacts with his fans too
I have this shit on my brain so I'm gonna share it. Have y'all ever heard "White people stealing black people music." some of y'all have some of y'all haven't. I appreciate the black culture for influencing all these kinds of genres of music that evolved into rap and hip hop, my favorite genre of music. I don't appreciate hearing that white people are stealing hip hop and rap because they're participating in the art. There's not a list of things that's divided between white and black people, if there was it'd be childish as hell. I also find it fucked up when people say they don't like a rap artist because they're white. G-Eazy has a nice ass flow, I admit some of his songs are modernized to most of the popular rap we here today, which I don't particularly enjoy, but all in all he makes some of the best beats and shares some amazing lyrics. Can't we all agree that rap is bomb af and that anyone that enjoys it and is inspired by it can indulge and make it their career despite the color of their skin.
Alexis H It's not that nobody that isn't black can't or shouldn't rap, it's that a white man can produce profits at a faster rate than a black rapper. This is historically true, Elvis, Eminem, Macklemore, Iggy, Beach Boys- a lot of white artists have profited by stealing from black musicians . I haven't looked too much into G Eazy, but it's alot important to note the political relevance of hip hop, and that if a white rapper wants to profit off of hip-hop he needs to speak about black issues. It comes down again to loving black culture and wanting to exploit it without doing anything for the black community. So yeah anyone can enjoy rap/hip hop but there is something still ill about a white man profiting off of it when this country still doesn't give a damn about black lives.
echoesinla 2pac, Mike Jackson, Biggie, Jimi Hendrix, Louis Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Billy Holiday etcetera. "Historically true" and you mention Macklemore, Iggy and Eminem. And none of them stole from black musicians. Did they steal their lyrics? No, they were a part of the culture. They were just different coloured. I can't speak on Iggy or Macklemore, but they can't represent all white people into hip hop
+echoesinla I gotta say it'd be extremely hard for a white rapper to talk about black issues because almost every time they can't relate. It'd be too hard to convey a message that you can't relate to, and ultimately the artist would more than likely receive a lot of flack for trying to relate and come off as a try hard. Most people wouldn't look at it like "I see what you're trying to say, but you kinda missed that mark. A for effort though." type of way which would just hurt the artist more. So overall it'd be better for them to stick to what they can relate to as that is mainly what music is about. Also, try and look at all the success that black culture has had in hip hop compared to white rappers and be proud in that.
+echoesinla saying Macklemore profited from stealing from black musicians is like saying Lyndon Johnson was against Civil Rights. You're just a moron making ignorant statements. Macklemore did his shit totally independently, fucking groundbreaking. He felt bad when he beat Kendricks album when his album was in itself incredible if you actually bothered to listen to the whole thing. Listen to The Language of My World. Do some research. I'm not even going to get into Eminem. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Saying Eminem and Macklemore are stealing from black culture is just soooo stupid man why would you spread that hate?
Chike Walker He does sound a little like drake is certain aspects but lets be real.. Who was stealing G Eazys music in 2010? Drake was, its odd though. Now they are friends.
I mean no disrespect and I don't think Pac was THE rap god. He was an amazing lyricist and made dope records but I personally like Andre 3000 more. Pac is one of the greatest artists in music of all time. But in MY PERSONAL opinion I like Andre 3000 more. His stuff just does it better for ME.
my uncle was a dj from the 80s and my dad was good friends with breal from cypress hill. i grew up listening to hip hop from a tribe called quest to wu tang to hieroglyphics. hip hop is amazing! no matter what generation its from. is all meant to inspire and thats what g eazy is doing aswell
The interviewer with the red cap is informative. I've always wanted to know why people from the bay never break out on a national level and he answered. Anyways, I truly just think if you're a producer from the bay you can make it as a rapper it's much harder. The whole being associated with hyphy movement and constantly bringing it up thing makes people think we're just that and not many get it. Many people hate it as a matter of fact.
Kind of disappointed that G-Eazy don't know his history on Bay Area scene. He does not mention we had the ball in the 90's Pac, Short, 40, Dre, 3 X crazy, master P etc. But dropped the ball. Plus he don't mention that the hypy sound was a Mac Dre thing not E-40. 40 only capitalized when Dre died.
+chris velez you right, i was also kinda pissed he didnt know his bay area music history. and he from oakland too1! you cant get any more bay area than that. Im from half moon bay, and i know more about the music history than he does. on top of that g easy older than me. lol. outtaal l the records e40 made he said my ghetto report card? lol if they had me in that interview, ebro woulda gotten an ear full. lol
I find it funny how black folks always bash white folks for being racist when theyre the most racist people on earth. Poor me Im black my lifes hard. Everyones life is hard,grow up. Will the crying ever stop when will people take responsibility for own lives and stop blaiming everything on Whitey. My folks were stone junkies and my pops used to beat me. Bloody Ive been on my own since I was 15 and Im doing fine. I spent 7 years inside and was homeless for 9 months and never once did I blaime anyone bur myself.
"Most racist people on the planet", lol. Come back your has been subjected to over 300 years of slavery, then brutality violent segregation. Even in Africa, the White Man still segregated black Africans in there own land. If inhumane acts of rape, torture and murder isn't racially charged I don't know what is.
Every race on this planet has been slaves,the past is the past and any obstacles that a man faces shouldnt hold them back it should make them stronger. Racism from any race is bullshit but nobody from this generation has anyone to blame but themselves for being poor. Its rich folks from all races. Every man thats over the age of 18 has the ability to be anything he wants you just have to be willing to do the work. Im a 2 times felon and ive been clean 12 years and in that time Ive managed to buy a home hold down a good job that took me years to get but I got it,I just had to leave my past in the past and not look back. Time for Americans to grow up and take responsibility for theyre own lives,the blame games is pointless. If your getting fucked with by the Police chances are your doing shit illegal same goes for not having a good clean life you have to be willing to play the game.
Macc Mosley Stop Just stop Macc you don't know what you are talking about... I get tired of people declaring how AFRICAN AMERICANS should feel about their past and how it doesn't effect them today .Especially with all the crap that is happening in America right now... (and yes I am referring to black on black crime too) Not just police brutality. What I am about to type may be a little long but please read it if you get the chance... I understand what you are trying to say Macc but what you have to understand is that African AMERICANS have been made fun of for African American Vernacular English for years . So to see other races doing it is ironic...Imitation is the highest form of flattery so quite frankly I don't give a fuck who "raps" and most blacks don't but but to ignore certain aspects of black culture is just niave and dumb.And yes I am talking about the imitation of black women and men you have "Amos 'n' Andy"(which touches on black-face which is a whole other topic in itself) Lets take a brief look at little American history to understand why some get annoyed with the whole "I had a hard time in life too" and the you were "not slaves... your ancestors were so you shouldn't care" debate. Blacks had to go so much through bull-crap in America before and after slavery ended. Black's in America were left with NOTHING! African Americans had to go through hell just to make it to poverty...Yes I said POVERTY... and yes there were great leaders such as Malcolm X , Dr. King, Marcus Garvey and countless others but the problem was so widespread that there were disagreements on how to handle the Black American Plight.Meanwhile blacks were still being treated unfairly during the segregation phase while other minority groups (regardless of race) had received reparations and other advantages so they didn't have to deal with the subconscious mind creating unconscious bias and discrimination based on skin color... (Look up the brown paper bag test)... There were tons of "legal" lynchings that were never reported hence the song (strange fruit) and countless rapes, murders and injustices done to blacks in America and yes the trickle down effect is real that is why it still effects most blacks today... The conditioning and brainwashing of the black community itself because of Willie lynch syndrome coupled with drugs and poverty trained those in poverty... to just not care, and to not value life as much and this way of thinking just passed down because it was NEVER addressed and believe it or not all of this was NOT that long ago... I am not saying that Africans (and other races) in Europe, Canada and other places in the world don't have to face prejudices but the history IS NOT the same...that is why most black's in other regions of the world know their background...Africans (all types) , Jamaicans, Trinidadians , and countless others can pretty much tell you about their roots... Blacks in America had there culture stolen. So African AMERICAN culture was created through many other avenues...Such as R&B, hip hop, style of clothing, African American Soul food, African American Vernacular English otherwise known as Ebonics(that people LOVE to imitate), Kwanzaa,and The Gullah people. All of these thing's positive or negative make up the Black experience in America. So while most blacks don't give a shit about white rappers (especially ones that are talented and come from a genuine place) please understand and respect some aspects of the culture before you comment... There is so much I could say, and I am sure I left out many great points but I think you get the idea... Dang... I wasn't trying to write an essay (but I guess I kind of did ) LOL....Peace and Blessings :)
Everything you said is true but unfortunately it's true of every race on the planet,what about the Jews,what about the Irish when they came to America.the past has past and it's time for people to move on and work on the future.the only way any of this will be fixed is to teach our children the truth about the past and also teach them to be Anti racist,not being racist isn't enough we have to teach them to stand up and shut down all racism. I won't let anyone make any racist remarks around me or mine. My point is it's time for people to take responsibility for their lives. I've been through a lot more than most and I made it out,it took me till I was 30 but I did it.
He's got some dope shit... I just wonder how come every time the Bay rap scene is brought up, it's always about the hyphy shit... There's much more than that, so much independent history
Rappin is a dream and a job, there's no specific things you need to be a rapper, anyone can be a rapper and it doesn't matter white, black, asian, Hispanic, Indian, race doesn't matter at all
I'm so glad they touched (as slight as it was) on the whole Mustard vs. The Bay deal. Truth be told, Mustard is doing his thing on production but unfortunately that sound was established in the Bay and people are eating it up when it's been done. The part that gets me is that when "The Motto" dropped, he interviewed and stated that the sound was L.A. aka Ratchet Music and passed it off as something he created....which is far from the truth for obvious reasons. So much more to this and I wish more would talk about it. Respect to F.A.B. for speaking up. What ya'll think?
I don't care if you're white or black if your song has a good vibe I'm gonna like it and I'm gonna support you because music has nothing to do with race to me. if anything music is an outlet for people of all backgrounds to come together
I have come to the conclusion that the only way humans will get beyond their race issues is if aliens invade earth then we will see how petty and ridiculous many of us have become.
***** i dont think that aliens would, if they were intelligent enough to reach earth, come here to kill all of us... there are plenty of planets to live on ;)
Leopold's became tower records like 20 years ago. 10 years ago it became a bunch of food vendors. It's, what, a Senore's pizza, a Putinerie, a Karoake spot, and a Schnitzel/Beer spot.
At the end of the day just enjoy whatever music u like yo, it doesn't have to be I have better taste in music than u or I know more than u, just enjoy whatever u hear and if it isn't good then move on it's easy no reason to bash on others taste in music, to me this guy is good not the best but he's good he's making more than I so I can't hate I can just listen and enjoy
Lol. All the White folks running up into the comments to complain about Black people rightfully critiquing the erasure of Black content and its creators and the non-existent phenomenon of "reverse racism". It gets me every time.
Fine we'll leave rap but you leave sports, you can't wear nike, you can't watch tv, you can't use electricity. You know since you didn't create it. Just showing you your logic.
You're certainly no authority on logic since the first thing you did was show your ass by using a non sequitur; it's almost as if you forgot that competitive physical activity and mankind have been a thing since people - of various civilizations - came to the conclusion that entertainment and physical fitness go hand-in-hand. The only difference is that White people monopolized the realm of sports (as they eventually did with everything else in society, and that goes for your infallible prioritization of White inventions - which, sorry to break it to you, Lewis Latimer [a Black man] is just as responsible for the creation of the light bulb considering the fact he perfected it) and it carries an insidious under-current of racism , so.. not only are you racist, but you're a complete shit-gibbon too.
+WhiteStoneChild Racism is a system of unearned advantages which have been bestowed upon White people at the disproportionate disadvantages & dehumanization of PoC. Calling White people out on their shit isn't racism. This isn't about your hurt/misplaced feelings & faulty logic.
i stopped @ "reverse racism"....there is no such thing, just like there is no "reverse sexism"...the oppressed can not oppress the oppressors....so I'm gonna stop watching before i don't like him....he's a really dope rapper and I'll leave it at that
I hate the fact that some of the comments before mine are claiming that he is trying to be this rapper or that rapper. G Eazy is G Eazy. He is his own person, with his own style and own talents. He may want to be as successful as the rappers you are mentioning, but he's not dressing like them or talking like them. Its called individuality. Learn it.
Northern Cali classics: E40, in a major way: Three times Krazy Stackin Chips, Brotha lynch hung Season of the sickness, Mac Mal illegal business, Mac dre stooped doodoo dumb, Spice one:Spice 1, Luniz Operation Stackola, Too Short, Born to Mack: Digital Underground, Sex Packets, 2 pac, Me against The World.
Lol no matter what the comments say the dude will continue to get paid, and get famous. The comment section literally has no bare on these people's lives. Now leave nice comments because your hate does nothing but make you look mad at the world.
He makes good music that is a different style than other rappers that have come before him. If you don't like him, don't listen, but it would be a shame if you didn't.
If he was from North Philly instead North Oakland it would make a difference in his credibility to a black audience....just reality.....The Bay area is affluent enough to not believe he came up rough
On one hand I think the culture of independent rap is what allows the Bay to be so innovative and experimental, but on the other hand it seems to suffer from a lack of management. There's a ton of independent talent in the Bay but these guys are putting out like 100 songs a year on back-to-back mixtapes. There's not enough editing taking place. They could actually benefit from a label rep around telling them to tighten it up and not just record everything that comes to mind. The good news is that it's cheaper than ever to record your own album and music video, but the bad news is that when there's less skin in the game then the album quality standards tend to drop.
and I quote..."yo, yo, yo...like, like, like...you feel me, you feel me...know what i'm saying, know what i'm saying"...it is ironic that people who use words as a living can barely express themselves. And that goes for all those "rappers" out there...
It's a verbalized pause. Some do it to fill the silence between words. Lots of people do it and don't even realize it. He is educated and quick witted obviously so this is something he could easily work past.
doesn't matter what race you are anyone has the ability to write good music. what's on the inside is what truly matters your body is just like container for your soul
Goddamn, he mentioned sitting in that AC Transit bus. Fuck, he's real af for that. Too damn relatable. East Bay cats would know.
💯💯💯💯
Cmon mane I'm from the bay & I like this dude, I don't think he's trying to exploit the genre I actually think he is just being himself homie. He's a sincere artist & a dope mc period black white or purple

I agree and he is sexy as f!!!
Khaaliq Crowder she's ass
that perfectly describes drake and rick ross
TheJayDot i suppose. Ross is a gimmick.
Khaaliq Crowder No. She's trash.
Never seen such a humble rapper. He deserves so much more than what he has.
Im from Oakland and I fully endorse this dude.
💯💯💯💯
The bay is was and always will be independent. It's where master p got his game from and changed the whole industry.
Not many people know that!! C-Murda had a house in the Hayward hills back in the day, up by Kelly Hill, by sprewell!
Bay Area forever 👏🏻
I absolutely love how he has a handful of songs that are about the girls he loved but let slip away and is pretty much saying he's sorry and that he still loves them but also has those songs that are about partying and having fun with your friends haha
I cant tell if this is g eazy's interview or ebro's interview...let the man talk god damn...
came here for gerald, left with a degree on american hip hop
I swear ... I was just googling everything .. it's crazy knowledge is unlimited .
knowledge is unlimited. quotable

Just because he sounds different, doesn't mean it's bad.
Enjoy the Music.

Enjoy the music.

There're two different artist. Who cares if they sound similar. It's music. Enjoy it !!
G eazy is my favorite rapper right now love the song "got it like that"
Operation Stackola is my favorite rap album to come out the bay
Ok...every rapper says "At The End Of The Day" a million times in every interview. Who wants to play "At The End Of The Day Drinking Game".
Pulse FX Kevin Hart
G Eazy is Bae.
stop saying "eminem is the rap god" when biggie or nas could destroy him lyrically, plus, hes inspired by 2pac the real rap god, deal with it...
pac is overrated nas could kill him
ClickMyChannelOrDie pac overrated? lol stop bitchin .
***** overrated

Your race wasn’t needed. Your gen really needs work 🤨😒
I find it funny how black folks always bash white folks for being racist when theyre the most racist people on earth. Poor me Im black my lifes hard. Everyones life is hard,grow up. Will the crying ever stop when will people take responsibility for own lives and stop blaiming everything on Whitey. My folks were stone junkies and my pops used to beat me.

to ignore certain aspects of black culture is just niave and dumb.And
yes I am talking about the imitation of black women and men you have

in itself) Lets take a brief look at little American history to
understand why some get annoyed with the whole "I had a hard time in

shouldn't care" debate. Blacks had to go so much through bull-crap in
America before and after
slavery ended. Black's in America were left with NOTHING! African

creating unconscious bias and discrimination based on skin color...
(Look up the brown paper bag test)... There were tons of "legal"
lynchings that were never reported hence the song (strange fruit) and
countless rapes, murders and injustices done to blacks in America and
yes the trickle down effect is real that is why it still effects most
blacks today... The conditioning and brainwashing of the black
community itself because
of Willie lynch syndrome coupled with drugs and poverty trained those
in poverty... to just not care, and to not value life as much and this
way of thinking just passed down because it was NEVER addressed and
believe it or not all of this was NOT that long ago... I am not
saying that Africans (and other races) in Europe, Canada and other

don't have to face prejudices but the history IS NOT the same...that is
why most black's in other regions of the world know their

Kwanzaa,and The Gullah people. All of these thing's positive or negative
make up the Black experience in America. So while most blacks don't
give a shit about white rappers (especially ones that are talented and
come from a genuine place) please understand and respect some aspects of
the culture before you comment... There is so much I could say, and I
am sure I left out many great points but I
think you get the idea... Dang... I wasn't trying to write an essay
(but I guess I kind of did ) LOL....Peace and Blessings :)
Everything you said is true but unfortunately it's true of every race on the planet,what about the Jews,what about the Irish when they came to America.the past has past and it's time for people to move on and work on the future.the only way any of this will be fixed is to teach our children the truth about the past and also teach them to be Anti racist,not being racist isn't enough we have to teach them to stand up and shut down all racism. I won't let anyone make any racist remarks around me or mine. My point is it's time for people to take responsibility for their lives. I've been through a lot more than most and I made it out,it took me till I was 30 but I did it.
If you were from OAKLAND or TheBAY you would understand. You wouldn't hate. The REALEST come from The BAY!
From Northern California 209 area , we love the bay.
nor cal stockton 209
Oakland is in the bay area lol. But I feel you. I grew up 30 minutes away from Oakland.
HUGS FROM PALO ALTO ❤️
Daniel Neubauer i meant Oakland or anywhere else in the bay... Sorry I wasn't more clear.
He's a cool dude. - haven't heard his music yet. but this interview is got me searching. (job done.) lol . HOPE HES DOPE!!!
Great interview.
Good Convo
👍💯...GOOD INTERVIEW!
125 people don't love music!
A lot of dope knowledge about the bay in this interview
Love being from the bay! Love you G
What a moment: "90's hip hop".
Reppin from Hayward California
G-Eazy 👑
YO I JUST NOTICED THAT GUY IN THE BACK AND SHAT MYSELF WHO ELSE SAW HIM
HAHAHA I DID!!
I saw him to,but I really had to look to see him.It was a little bit creepy.
oh shit thats scary i didnt notice until you pointed him out
That's his drummer blizzy lol
mimi when?
G - Eazy💖😫
Look at Ebro kickin that knowledge! Go head, old man
That babe hoodie 😤
Love Ebrow doing the most talking whenever he interviews someone
He's got some dope shit... I just wonder how come every time the Bay rap scene is brought up, it's always about the hyphy shit... There's much more than that, so much independent history
I’m from Oakland too ayyy
Dope how he shouts out Mac Dre.. Thizz in Peace cuddie
Yessir hip hop was one love
Rappin is a dream and a job, there's no specific things you need to be a rapper, anyone can be a rapper and it doesn't matter white, black, asian, Hispanic, Indian, race doesn't matter at all
I'm so glad they touched (as slight as it was) on the whole Mustard vs. The Bay deal. Truth be told, Mustard is doing his thing on production but unfortunately that sound was established in the Bay and people are eating it up when it's been done. The part that gets me is that when "The Motto" dropped, he interviewed and stated that the sound was L.A. aka Ratchet Music and passed it off as something he created....which is far from the truth for obvious reasons. So much more to this and I wish more would talk about it. Respect to F.A.B. for speaking up. What ya'll think?
im really tempted to listen to illmatic hahah
I don't care if you're white or black if your song has a good vibe I'm gonna like it and I'm gonna support you because music has nothing to do with race to me. if anything music is an outlet for people of all backgrounds to come together
I have come to the conclusion that the only way humans will get beyond their race issues is if aliens invade earth then we will see how petty and ridiculous many of us have become.
Lol werd
+samchez thomasino man no shit, about 5 months ago i came to exactly the same conclusion ;)
***** i dont think that aliens would, if they were intelligent enough to reach earth, come here to kill all of us... there are plenty of planets to live on ;)
samchez thomasino what if Their racist Too?
samchez thomasino That's because that IS what it would take, NOTHING less will ever suffice
I remember leopold's!!! Pizza n beer n talking shit boi!
G-Eazy rockin the BAPE hoodie
+Brad adams everyone who stays relevant is gonna know thats a bape hoodie lmao
Such a cutie love the hair
How you gonna talk bay..and not talk pac..he grew up 5 minutes from my house
Shot in the heart when he said he doesn't like tattoos
I hate that they keep cutting him off
I love him😍😘😎
That laugh in the beginning tho
Leopold's became tower records like 20 years ago. 10 years ago it became a bunch of food vendors. It's, what, a Senore's pizza, a Putinerie, a Karoake spot, and a Schnitzel/Beer spot.
Is this a interview or a lecture by ebro ffs
Love him
Interscope records needs to sign him, childish gambino, and logic.
REAL STRAIGHT UP DUDE.... GOTTA RESPECT THAT. PLUS THAT SONG "I MEAN IT FEAT RICK ROSS" IS FUCKING FIRE! #SALUTE
Geazy is dope
Ayye oaktown
At the end of the day just enjoy whatever music u like yo, it doesn't have to be I have better taste in music than u or I know more than u, just enjoy whatever u hear and if it isn't good then move on it's easy no reason to bash on others taste in music, to me this guy is good not the best but he's good he's making more than I so I can't hate I can just listen and enjoy
I honestly love rap and hip hop but it seems like every day there is a new issue about racism and that's not what the game is about #STANDTOGETHER
Lol. All the White folks running up into the comments to complain about Black people rightfully critiquing the erasure of Black content and its creators and the non-existent phenomenon of "reverse racism". It gets me every time.
Fine we'll leave rap but you leave sports, you can't wear nike, you can't watch tv, you can't use electricity. You know since you didn't create it. Just showing you your logic.
You're certainly no authority on logic since the first thing you did was show your ass by using a non sequitur; it's almost as if you forgot that competitive physical activity and mankind have been a thing since people - of various civilizations - came to the conclusion that entertainment and physical fitness go hand-in-hand. The only difference is that White people monopolized the realm of sports (as they eventually did with everything else in society, and that goes for your infallible prioritization of White inventions - which, sorry to break it to you, Lewis Latimer [a Black man] is just as responsible for the creation of the light bulb considering the fact he perfected it) and it carries an insidious under-current of racism , so.. not only are you racist, but you're a complete shit-gibbon too.
LifeOnHerTongue ...
+WhiteStoneChild Racism is a system of unearned advantages which have been bestowed upon White people at the disproportionate disadvantages & dehumanization of PoC. Calling White people out on their shit isn't racism. This isn't about your hurt/misplaced feelings & faulty logic.
+LifeOnHerTongue You grouping people people by the color of their skin, and calling what they do "shit", IS racism. By all definitions.
Haaa💋💋💋 G-Easy.
People will always criticize this dude because of the color of his skin but nobody notices how talented this dude is.
He always avoids telling what product he uses for his hair 😫😂
i stopped @ "reverse racism"....there is no such thing, just like there is no "reverse sexism"...the oppressed can not oppress the oppressors....so I'm gonna stop watching before i don't like him....he's a really dope rapper and I'll leave it at that
Trev
Yeah exactly Reverse racism is just racism
"Swaglord!"
I hate the fact that some of the comments before mine are claiming that he is trying to be this rapper or that rapper. G Eazy is G Eazy. He is his own person, with his own style and own talents. He may want to be as successful as the rappers you are mentioning, but he's not dressing like them or talking like them.
Its called individuality. Learn it.
How can girls not want to FW G-Eazy he's so cute.
elle emca because he doesn't have balls I think
elle emca but like he is cute
elle emca just above the crotch area
Northern Cali classics: E40, in a major way: Three times Krazy Stackin Chips, Brotha lynch hung Season of the sickness, Mac Mal illegal business, Mac dre stooped doodoo dumb, Spice one:Spice 1, Luniz Operation Stackola, Too Short, Born to Mack: Digital Underground, Sex Packets, 2 pac, Me against The World.
Lol no matter what the comments say the dude will continue to get paid, and get famous. The comment section literally has no bare on these people's lives. Now leave nice comments because your hate does nothing but make you look mad at the world.
He makes good music that is a different style than other rappers that have come before him. If you don't like him, don't listen, but it would be a shame if you didn't.
Town bidnizz shout out to geasy and all my town ninjas all my bay ninjas!
hip hop fact: G-Eazy and Schoolboy Q went to the same school.
reference: this interview and the song John Muir by Schoolboy q.
Blizzy in the back lol
If he was from North Philly instead North Oakland it would make a difference in his credibility to a black audience....just reality.....The Bay area is affluent enough to not believe he came up rough
shiiit, people in the comments are hating so hard on him... Atleast give his music a listen instead of basing him off of this interview
Northern Cali baby!
Yeah know it lol...
11:49 shout out to my fellow Samoans tho Lmaooo
yo g, i put 3 of my friends on your music and they're dark af lol
He listens to good shit. :o
On one hand I think the culture of independent rap is what allows the Bay to be so innovative and experimental, but on the other hand it seems to suffer from a lack of management. There's a ton of independent talent in the Bay but these guys are putting out like 100 songs a year on back-to-back mixtapes. There's not enough editing taking place. They could actually benefit from a label rep around telling them to tighten it up and not just record everything that comes to mind.
The good news is that it's cheaper than ever to record your own album and music video, but the bad news is that when there's less skin in the game then the album quality standards tend to drop.
G eazy is a bad ass
Bahahah my guy G Eazy said Samoans ahhahahah
and I quote..."yo, yo, yo...like, like, like...you feel me, you feel me...know what i'm saying, know what i'm saying"...it is ironic that people who use words as a living can barely express themselves. And that goes for all those "rappers" out there...
1:17 peep that wink
just becareful not to reach too far you might not know ur own strenghth and blow the entire star upp fool
"Some of them are so good at rapping!"
It's the melanin, bud.
It's all about Cali Love!
North to the South.
GEazyTV
How many times did he say "It's like" & "you know what I mean?" ..................
Sometimes I wonder if people can use a complete sentence without saying "like." By the way, your channel is great!
not enough times
It's because he's not very intelligent
It's a verbalized pause. Some do it to fill the silence between words. Lots of people do it and don't even realize it. He is educated and quick witted obviously so this is something he could easily work past.
Just know, he means it
doesn't matter what race you are anyone has the ability to write good music. what's on the inside is what truly matters your body is just like container for your soul
where is his interview on real late?????
2:50 Cali is now two states!
bapeee
