- Do you think that it is hard to be a rapper with your kind of skin tone? - What are you tryin' to say? - Can we open? - You can open. What's up? - I don't recognize you. - Do you know who I am? - No. - Are you? - Ryan Gosling. [laughter] - Wow-ow. - What is your job? - I am a musician. - Have you ever done a stage dive? - I've done many stage dives. - How many hours a week do you work? - Who's to say how much
work really tour is? You're really only on stage for like, an hour and a half a night. - And plus you're already just restating the songs that you already made. - Right, is that even
work in the first place? Question mark. We don't know. - Is there like song that you
get like tired of singing? - Yes, it's a song called Thrift Shop. [Laughter] - What school do you guys go to? - What's your favorite song? - Uh, McCleur. I got to McCleur and he goes to Hamilton. - You guys go to different schools. - Yeah. - Man back in the day, McCleur and Hamilton use
to be kinda bad schools. - Oh, McCleur sucks. - Does it? - Yes. - That's where I probably
started to do drugs, was with McCleur kids man. [Laughter] Like actually for real. I went to a McCleur
party, in seventh grade, and I think that was it. - Why do you always use your
hands when you talk, like well? - I rap, so like I. - Told ya! You do it. - No I'm showing you,
this is like exaggerated, but like yeah, I rap. - Have you been recognized? - I got recognized on the way over here. I was in Barnes and Nobel,
someone stops me and says "Has anyone ever told you, that you look a lot like Macklemore?" So, normally I just say
no, but today I said yes. And she said, "I mean
obviously you're not him." And in my mind I'm like,
does she think I look older? I was thinking the other day that should keep a wig in my glove
compartment of my car. I'm thinking like a brown kinda shag, maybe a weird hat, some sunglasses, I don't know. [laughter] - When you wrote the song White Privilege, did you actually mean
what you were saying? - Yeah, absolutely. The first version of White Privilege I wrote when I was in college. It was 2005, so thirteen. - That was three years before I was born. - Yeah, so it was thirteen years ago. Long time ago, and I was
observing a change in culture. It was an observation. It was questioning what's
my place in this culture, and processing it through a song. - One of my favorite songs
is the Immigrant Song. - Who sings that? - Led Zeppelin. - Mmm. - How do you not know that? - Cause I listen to rap dude. - Since you're a rapper,
like you feel like there's booze around you a lot, or? - Yeah, everywhere I go there's
just a bottle Ciroc vodka. No, I'm just kidding. - Okay good. - There is definitely a lot of alcohol in the music industry in general, but it's been a really long time since I've had a drink of alcohol. - That's pretty good. - Yeah. I think that what separates
me from a normal person, is that when I put a drink
or a drug into my body, it's like I have an
allergic reaction to it, and I can't get enough of it. So for me, any drug is a bad drug for me. - Where you on drugs once? - I was. - Mmm. - Oof, yeah. It's a long road back. - Yeah. - Well Tommy, you wouldn't know. - Well yeah I wouldn't know, but I read all the like
pamphlets they give us in school. Don't do drugs kids, which
is probably accurate. - And you've listened. - Yeah. - Good. - Can you still write
music when you take drugs? - Music that's not very good, yes. - What's the most recent
time you've had a relapse? - Two years ago, it was bad, this is bad. - Okay. - No it's fine, we can go there. - No, no, no, if you don't want to. - No it's fine. There was a photo shoot,
for People Magazine. I was told that we were
going to be a like, 50 sexiest people. - Nice. - It turns out, it was like 50
sexiest like animal hunters. - You hunt, do you hunt? - Which is like a big difference. - Yeah. - Um, yeah. - Yeah, like great. So I was very high, I think
I passed out at some point. - Oh geez. - It was all bad. Anyway, that was the last time. - What would you say your
favorite drink is now? - You know what I really enjoy, is a fine chilled bottle of Martinelli's. - That's delicious, the apple cider? - Yeah man.
- Pretty good. - Do you still have the
same passion for music from when you started? - I'm having to think about it,
so I would say probably not. I don't know, it's a tough question. I feel like I'm kind of in a
transition point in my life, I wanna be a good dad. - Do you have kids? - I do. - How many? - Two kids. You guys wanna see a
picture of my daughter? - Okay. - That's my new baby. - Do you think you're a good
role model to your fans? - It depends on the song. What I try to embody with
my music is being myself. There's good versions of me, and then there's the other person. I have kind of this, yin
and yang type of thing to my personality. So, depending on the song,
you might get either version. It's true to who I am, and other people can relate to it too. We're not perfect, there's days where you're
probably a great kid, and there's day where
sometimes your parents are like "Oh my God." Maybe. Maybe you're just great
all the time, I don't know. - Thank you. - Are you? - Kind of. - See what I'm saying,
see what I'm saying? - Do you guys have any ideas in terms of song, or songs, or album, or
concepts, or any sort of idea that I should put in to my music? - Honestly no, cause like you've been doing pretty good by yourself. - Your albums are great. - Good job Tom. - We like them. - I love you guys. We'll thank you guys. - You wanna sing Marmalade? - Can I hear you do it? - Okay. Ain't nobody get up in my car today. - Aye. - Back seat feeling like a charter plane. - Aye. - I be riding through the town, my music up. Windows down yeah you can hear me now. I turn it up. - Up. - I need that bass. - Bass! - And my chain so bright
can't see my face. I be riding through the town, town, town, I be riding through the town, town, town. Yeah, I'm done. [laughter and clapping] - Yo that was very good. That was very, I'm very impressed. - I'm sweating.
Really wanna see 21 Savage do this.
