Check your pmI didn't get em all from the beginning but heres what I got
-Says time will tell where this album is in terms of rankings but he ranks it as one of his best
-Said he recorded part of this album when he was sick for like 2-3 weeks and that you can hear the effects with his vocals on songs like 'Smile' and 'Moonlight'
-Says Billboard has been changing the rules as soon as his albums have dropped - they did it with MCHG and 4:44
-He addressed how hes legally giving his albums away (I think he was referring to the Sprint deal) but Billboard aint accounting it for final sales but mentions how Spotify is counting free streams the same way they count paid streams, says that theres basically hypocrisy and that shyt needs to change in the game
-Mentions how people give criticism to Tidal - for example its too expensive when its premium costs the same as Spotify - he wonders why Tidal gets too much crticism
-Speaks on self hate in our community and he brings up Lavar Ball as an example (he also mentions that he copped 3 pairs of his shoes) (@Big Boss HOV gave BBB that cosign)
-HOV said our culture needs to change and that we basically need to empower ourselves
-Said he never told people to stop doing the money phone but he just said that aint money to us, money to HOV is seats at the Warriors game, building your own brand, doesnt think its a good idea to make money and then show it off
-Wants the younger generation to be better than him - he aint saying don't have fun with your money but dont let shyt like the strip clubs etc be the end game.
-Basically says we need to build our own things - says we built shyt like Twitter, Instagram and that its dumb that we have to come back around asking these corps for marketing on our own culture
-(On the OJ Jewish thing) - says if people didnt have a problem with HOV exaggerating black images but have a problem with one line then you're a hypocrite
-Thinks Jewish people got it right with their community because they were forced to band together and as a result they worked together and got a power base in their own community - mentions how the Jewish built a community in Marcy and that hes seen it first hand which is why hes saying black people : we can do this too. Doesn't understand why all people are taking from this album is 'money phone'
-Says some people just aren't ready to receive information
-Said he had talks with Apple about Tidal but eventually bounced because Apple didn't share his vision
-Admitted that the Tidal launch event was horrible because it looked like a bunch of big artists complaining about money
-Says he aint ever lied to the culture about his intentions: 'IM RAPIN DEF JAM TILL IM THE 100 MILLION MAN I TOLD YOU THAT'
-Isn't bothered by how people see him or scapegoat him
-Speaks on Therapy, says its been helping him for over 4 years now
-Speaks on being Spiritual, acknowledges that God exists and that therapy allowed him to see that.. he also speaks on having to forgive his grandfather for what he did to his daughter (not HOVs daughter)
-Mentions that there are hypocrites in religion
-First went to therapy when he was on probation said he wasnt fukkin with it at first
-Says getting to know yourself is the most difficult thing to do
-On Kanye : Says he doesnt like that Ye involved his family into the situation and that he knows hes crossed the line. Believes Kanye knows that and thats why they haven't resolved their issue.
- On KILL JAY Z : The song is really about him and him dissing himself , he takes ownership for what hes said and done. Its about Shawn Carter talking to JAY Z
-Just said don't mention kids in a dispute because it puts them in an even worse situation
- On the Future diss : He didn't mean malice by the diss, says it was more of a play on words in that that was a fear he had because he feared in the future Bey coulda been out there and his kids are with a step dad, says shyt like child support haunts him and that he has no beef with Future. Says rap is becoming soft because you cant say shyt these days.
-Says he aint ever held anyone back in life
-Says the issue with Ye will be resolved soon, says hes gonna have a conversation with him
- On Solange incident : Says they've always had a great relationship and that shes his sister, not sister in law but sister. Period.
-3 great albums came out of that elevator incident
-On the elevator footage coming out : Says that was the hardest shyt he had to deal with, even harder than the street shyt he dealt with because it involved family and his image. He had to make it work cause he didn't wanna get that #GMB treatment
-Fame comes and goes so its important for him to get his REAL LIFE together, he aint worried about all of the shyt on TMZ
-Says he was there the whole time Beyonce made Lemonade, says it was therapeutic for him.
-On making '4:44' (the song) - recorded it at his house, said NO ID was p much lookin at him like 'yo you better make this personal'
Her line about Jay-Z being pushed into misogyny (Big Pimpin)like he aint a grown ass man
