“That’s a part of Hip Hop that’s necessary, with everybody jockin’ you,” Mikey says. “I’m going to call a spade a spade. Wasn’t nobody on Lil Yachty until Kanye put a red braid mother fu*ker in a fashion show, and people were like, ‘Oh who’s that? Oh he’s got rap records? Ok that’s what we on right now.’ Ain’t nobody played Lil Yachty before February unless you lived in Atlanta or was in the know. I knew him, but I knew people that know him. I was like, ‘Oh sh*t, he’s on right.’ He has hot songs but they not hot because people think he’s hot. They hot because Kanye put him in his fashion show. They’re followers. No press broke Lil Yachty. No DJ broke Lil Yachty. Mother fu*kin’ TIDAL Kanye season 2—whatever—broke Lil Yachty, so everyone is like, ‘Let’s listen to him now.’ That’s not really fair to him because he didn’t get that kind of discovery we got, where people are going to rock with you for life because they found you on their own.
“Kanye has an ear, but he didn’t put him on,” he continues. “It was the blogosphere. The spiderweb from Kanye is our culture in a nutshell. Whether it’s Cudi or Big Sean or Desiigner—to whoever came through him. It’s impossible to avoid his influence, but when it comes down to the outlets to be so naive that they don’t have an opinion of their own.”
