Travie mccoy who is

A whole different person. Not to say I influenced him to get into skateboarding but like the whole way he presented himself and dressed. Like, deadass I caught his stylist going through my wardrobe case. It was mad weird, it was mad weird. I never brought it up to Wayne or anything but I definitely got on her ass, for sure.

Like what the fuck? It was crazy. The deluxe had several solid remixes with formidable MCs. A lot of people thought I was a huge cokehead after putting that song out. Obviously, coke was the reference, and Wayne dove straight into it. I feel like the fact he said what he said and dug in so deep and then you have the Gym Class part, it made it even more ambiguous which made the song more mysterious.

People were like, Is he talking about cocaine? Well, Wayne obviously is but like, the basis of the song is just talking about how addictive music can be. Not only music in and of itself but the art of making music. When you hear a dope song, your pleasure receptors react the same way when you do cocaine, not that I would know.

You take what you want from it. I would be happier to hear what you got from it than what I have to tell you. How did that song come about and what do you remember from working with Drake so early in his career? Oh shit. It might have been Comeback Season. But it was me, Drake, and Mickey Factz. We were all tryna outdo each other, obviously, as you do on a crew track. But that was like the first song that a lot of Americans heard Drake on.

Omen had us all kinda talk about our verses and shit and take videos so he could post them. That mixtape was crazy. Omen put all three of us together. Yeah, I mean, Drake definitely had a strong following in Canada already that was beginning to bleed stateside by that point. Of course. K-os was my dude [from Canada]. This was back when I was being a knucklehead and that shit helped me.

I was a professional bridge burner at one point. One, I never did drugs with anyone else. To me, it was so embarrassing and it felt like I had a weakness. There were times I had to cancel shows, cancel tours. It got crazy. Real talk. There was one point when we were doing shows at colleges and small clubs, kids would throw pills onstage. Not to be cheesy, but like Peter Parker said: With great power comes great responsibility. Not that I ever signed to be a superhero or a savior of the world but at the same time, I would never glorify what I went through.

I guess on a more specific note, signing directly to a rapper. Pain and I, we clicked like this on the first day of tour. The same sense of humor and everything. Stop it. So, he had a whole studio on his bus, and a stripper pole.

And when Pain records [at Hit Factor], he always has five fucking flatscreens with porn on each one. At one point, he was obsessed with Jada Fire.

That was a little different, you know what I mean? You Nappy Boy now. It felt so good. There was never anything contractual, just all love. It still is. So what kind of maturity should your fans expect?

The whole album was produced by Jerry Kritzstein and co-produced by myself. Matt from Gym Class played drums on almost every track. I wanted to keep it the least feature-heavy as possible so there are probably two or three features from up-and-coming artists.

My homegirl Hamzaa from the U. We fucked with a lot of frequencies that make you relaxed. Believe that.

We, as Gym Class, went down to Nashville to start this album. About two sessions in, things got a little rocky. Just get ready for a ride. Smoke you a fat one, put your headphones on, and just fucking vibe. Snakes on a Plane Soundtrack. Never Back Down Soundtrack. Soul Surfer Soundtrack.

While he tried to kick the habit a few times, he finally became clean in The rapper opened up about his addiction to pharmaceuticals in on R. The Rugged Man Show.

His doctor wanted to up his prescription, but McCoy decided to quit cold turkey. He was clean for a year before turning to the drugs again for recreational use. These kids are like, 'Oh, it's prescribed by a doctor, it's okay,' and it's not," he said. McCoy's addiction quickly spiraled, and he became a "functioning addict. But his honesty may have cost him some fans. At some point in my career, my life got put up for public consumption," he told Vibe the following year. It was worth it to me, whether I lost some fans or gained some fans from it.

When pressed on this, the "Cookie Jar" rapper said, "You'd be surprise at some of the things people had to say. People, at the end of the day, are going to see things the way they want to see it.

I do my best to avoid it, but sometimes it's like a car crash — you can't help but to look. The album came out in November and peaked at 54 on the Billboard But the album itself was not a critical hit.
