ah [ __ ] okay [Music] all of these [ __ ] they want me but they get one night [Music] [Applause] [Music] across the water baby we made it we did it [Applause] pipes [ __ ] [Music] [ __ ] i didn't know what the [ __ ] to expect but we came down now we [ __ ] that [ __ ] up that [ __ ] lit as [ __ ] man i'm talking about every [ __ ] stage is crazy man like mad [ __ ] fans too yeah miles parks mccollum aka loyati was born on august 23rd 1997 in mableton georgia while attending pebblebrook high school that boy yachty was working at mickey d's flipping them burgers fam he grew up listening to coldplay big soldier young draco so who's your number one though i heard you're like really into soulja boy like he's a huge influencer yes what was it about soulja boy that you took to so much i don't know it just the way he came up it was different it was a whole new like wave like the whole way he took over the internet i followed kind of in his footsteps in a way kanye and that boy low be the base god and you can clearly tell how much of a fan yadi was of low b like if you go to my dms a little bit because he follows people back it go all the way back like 2010 me just blowing up his damn all it's like 20 dims and when you come to now he responds i said little b made it okay to pay for [ __ ] what the [ __ ] are you talking about i don't know i was just i don't know i'm a big little bee fan so i used to like basically damn near anything he said was okay oh and if you ever wonder why yadi even calls himself that or lil boat here's why out of all the things you could be why a little boat i don't know why did you pick a little boat it's kind of flattening down and i see everything how you made it all together not the sale team or anything like that where did the whole boat boat come from um i was in a in high school i was in a group called the yacht club okay yeah and i was the youngest one and so i caught myself lil yachty and so that's where the yachty came and then a little boat um i kind of was animal studio one day freestyle and i said that little boat was like ali yadi's dad shannon was actually a photographer whose career included portraits and documentary work of rappers like too short outcast and others his mom veneta actually named yadi miles after the american trumpeter miles davis yadi would attend alabama state university in fall of 2015 but he would publicly say how much he hated that [ __ ] i went to college and it was horrible and then i knew music was the prince where'd you go to college i would build my state and it just wasn't for you it was trash his mom even said in her book the whole time he was at school he kept saying he didn't want to be there he kept saying that he was supposed to be rich and famous he wasn't supposed to be in school crazy enough though in september of 2015 yadi and his boy actually got caught at the mall with a bunch of fake credit cards while shopping at lids bruh they were charged with fraud forgery and counterfeiting according to palm beach county jail records from there he would drop out of high school and move back to georgia and from there he would link up with producer burberry perry and k supreme they would get together to grind making songs in his bedroom using mics with socks in them he would actually get a little taste of success when drake's ovo sound radio aired his song minnesota from there he got hooked up with coach k the founder of quality control music and began recording at the same atlanta studios as the migos at this point yadi was buzzing like heavy bruh especially in the soundcloud realm i told the streets when i chill on the 6 i got hella bricks i should breathe one of the earliest pieces of music that's on soundcloud from yadi is his summersong's ep from 2015. [Music] he even did a legendary show in la right before he truly took off in early 2016. [Music] the crazy thing is though at this time yadi got in contact with ian connor who actually hooked him up with modeling for kanye's yeezy season 3 the life of pablo release party at madison square garden and i remember this being a little headline with people talking about a kid who had red hair or whatever look what yadi actually said not too long ago about this day he said today five years ago i stood in the yeezy show i was still living with my mom and flew on a buddy pass to new york with probably 70 bucks to my name but i was mad excited and i feel like my life changed from this day on my mom and friends cheered me on via text thanks ian that's pretty dope if you ask me and i'll be honest i didn't know who yadi was at all until i went to a young thug concert like march or april that year in manhattan it was actually young thug's high tunes tour for the album that never came to be but yeah yadi opened up for him i think it was him and rich the kid [Applause] and i'll never forget hearing this particular song when he came out [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] which actually isn't on spotify or apple music anymore because nintendo but i remember being like yo this is fire boy who is this and then some dude next to me was like dude are you serious bro you don't know luyachi dude he's so lit and i was like [ __ ] he definitely is we also gotta talk about a viral video that spawned earlier this year too artist slash comedian kayleon fox made a video using the song one night in it and that [ __ ] skyrocketed one night to all new heights bruh what are we what the [ __ ] she just say to me oh damn you know what she yaddy even admits it plenty of times before then was the song gathering steam on its own or was it just something yeah it's just it once that happened it really blew up you know like millions or millions on millions you know what i'm saying and i think now would be a good time we talk about the legendary mixtape he dropped on march 9th 2016. lobo it's but i can't have no wife hey but anyways this mixtape is low-key legendary matter of fact actually you know what high key legendary quick side note though i can't express how much i missed these times bro there was just something about the aura around 2016 that just felt fun fresh new exciting it was just a whole new wave of these young soundcloud rappers that were just exploding onto the scene and it was just fun as hell because it seemed so organic and natural you know what i mean it felt like you and me just making fun music on soundcloud for the hell of it you know with rappers like famous dex especially famous decks huh a dexter oh man god damn oh what um yeah ugly god uzi [ __ ] who playboy cardi kodak trippy x lil pump smoke perp like the list goes on and on bro but yeah back to lobo right now i am feeling a decent two strong seven on this thing this tape of course has songs like minnesota one night and wanna be us which are classics but songs like good day up next two and intro are some of my favorites on here who remembers when the intro had the finding nemo sample though when life gets you down you know what you gotta do i don't wanna know what you gotta do just keep swimming just keep swimming classic until they took it off because you know finding nemo also i still think one night is one of the dopest music videos i've ever seen to this day i know that must've took hundreds of hours to make bro and speaking of the one night music video i can't believe i just found my comment from my old youtube channel look at this [ __ ] dope [ __ ] here before 20k views fam that's crazy yo and look how many views it has now yeah i was there early fam and of course we can't talk about 2016 without mentioning this smash hit bruh [Music] yadi at this point had become a superstar in his own right and in june of this year he ended up announcing that he signed a joint venture record deal with motown capital records and quality control music yadi was even a part of rolling loud early bruh it was like the second ever rolling loud if i'm not mistaken in may of 2016. who is the yachty i'm saying the [ __ ] with the red haired [ __ ] with the braves no sound hundred thousand [ __ ] around me your family the [ __ ] with the melodies your family that's me you feel me don't ask who that is because you know who that is you know what i'm saying if you ain't nobody then you know by now your family slow boat yeah you guys know what's coming next the most viewed double xl cipher of all time probably because of me i'm not gonna lie no food for rice all of these [ __ ] they want me but they get one night [ __ ] em i give a [ __ ] what you saying [ __ ] [ __ ] know i ain't playing the 2016 freshman class is one of the most talked about controversial legendary classes of all time it's just so legendary and while the pot was still hot that boy yadi gave us another mixtape with summer songs 2 on july 20th 2016. i remember like it was yesterday when this dropped if i'm not mistaken it was exclusive for apple music and it seemed as if it came out at the right time i'm the king of the teens we survived through the breeze with such cheeses [Applause] [ __ ] you ain't oozy you ain't cardi damn show not [Music] i'm pretty sure while making this there was probably a ton of pressure to recreate that lil boat sound or to just continue on that same path and in my opinion looking back at it he did a good job it's still a blend of that melodic yachty with the rapping mix low boat [ __ ] so yeah it came out pretty dope he also has a song on here called for hot 97 which that came to be because of the little beef he had with ibro from hot 97 you guys remember that long story short they kind of made yachty freestyle on hot 97 pull off in the black hearse oh and he was clowned all over the internet for how bad the freestyle was and ebro with his old head mentality just couldn't understand the new wave they were just trying to have fun and turn up while he was honestly hating on a new generation saying that they can't rap and whatnot they kept going back and forth on twitter and a funny ass twitter beef so yadi ended up making this song to kind of prove that he got bars and [ __ ] thought i left flex and woke up all my [ __ ] like stop all i rest i might have my old you come and do a little pressing another rapper with lil in their name is offended another high school ass rapper is offended he sounds like they love him too rapping about nothing these you know what all these young men all these young men stop being so [ __ ] made man get your bars up be mad i don't care i'm not here to be your friend well all right i still gotta talk about 2016 for a secto fam because this man yadi was dropping or was a part of so many soundcloud bangers that you probably forgot about or didn't hear before let me remind you all of some of them but be careful this is a nostalgia overload warning [Music] [Music] i [Music] [Music] then my neck sound like a [ __ ] then my wrist sound like a [ __ ] i know when [Music] all these [ __ ] [Music] taking pictures [Music] when i get an erection i got [ __ ] in the city trying to get in my section every time i drink soda when i drink the only time i'm geeking off is when i pop up [Music] [Music] i could keep going too but let me stop spamming y'all with these bangers and let's talk about the little beef he had with big soldier but you black as hell bro you ugly as [ __ ] you're hella like twizzlers bruh i snatched them [ __ ] bees out your [ __ ] head little [ __ ] ass [ __ ] [ __ ] i don't even [ __ ] with you your music whack as [ __ ] you call my management somehow i need to meet soldier i met your [ __ ] ass at my house you was wack i heard your song one night that [ __ ] was lame as [ __ ] [ __ ] you was a groupie you told my soldier i look up to you on your biggest fan look bruh when i see you i'mma beat you bro on my mama i'm gonna beat your [ __ ] head bro and tell qc to stop calling my [ __ ] phone stop playing with me [ __ ] big soldier [ __ ] you ain't never even met this [ __ ] in your life [ __ ] i've been i've been rocking with this girl for years my [ __ ] i slapped the [ __ ] at you [ __ ] [ __ ] lil bo of course soulja boy always got to be for somebody right [Music] born [Music] okay [Music] so basically it was all over a girl bro like literally that's all this was about you can see the screenshots here and soulja obviously blowing it out of proportion and basically burned the bridge that he had with yadi it's a shame too because yadi looked up to soldier and honestly was one of the only new rappers or any rapper really that i can recall that was actually showing love to soulja genuinely talking about how he was the pioneer for all of them and how his come up was so original king of the internet all that they even did a bunch of songs together before any of this happened like i said it was over a girl i think india love or whatever her name is the same girl that got fingered by the game in the park yeah that girl let's get one thing straight i never tell you to drink sprite even if this were a metaphor about cool crisp refreshing lemon lime sprite and i was talking about cool crisp refreshing lemon lime sprite and little yachty here was paid by sprite to write lyrics about sprites [Applause] man i remember when this came out and being like hey that boy yachty branching out unlike a lot of rappers who just stick to rapping and it's crazy too because every time someone who wasn't really in tune with the new wave of rappers or the quote-unquote old heads kind of just used yadi as the poster boy for the term mumble rap he was always that metaphor that people would use for rappers who can't rap or are quote unquote trash and speaking of old heads who felt this way you are happy 24 7. that is a lie so that is a that is [ __ ] and i refuse to have somebody tell me [ __ ] i want to have a harness and i don't want this to come off like old [ __ ] man [ __ ] but it is undertaker [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all your dogs investigators call them blues please [Music] hey [Music] six months later [Music] 2017 was an interesting year for yadi he was nominated for a grammy for the song broccoli and was gearing up for his debut album teenage emotions kind of weird to say debut album since he was already hot for at least a year now with a couple mixtapes that felt like albums but yeah teenage emotions was released on may 26 2017 receiving some lukewarm reviews selling 46 000 copies first week debuting at number five [Music] yeah this album definitely has some bangers especially fyi and dirty mouth i still go back to those on the regular but overall i still think the album has a bunch of skips personally the album is good not bad but it's not great either i remember seeing an article around the time this album came out where yadi said that there was a ton of pressure to make this album from the label from fans especially and what he wanted to make but he did say in an interview that he'll know next time what to make this year you've been nominated for a grammy and you also released your debut album how would you describe your 2017 so far it's busy now with your debut album teenage emotions how was the recording process and did it turn out how you expected it it was a learning lesson you know it was my first album i'm saying i kind of just did it the way i wanted to do it and i don't regret it because you know i'm saying every song i put on that album i loved like i made that album on the road like i didn't get to sit and really make the album it was cool you know i just i just now you know i know now for my next album what to do and what not to do so it was a good learning like some lesson two two threes glocks we don't do no scuffle hold on hold on trip hold on hold on who's saying my name hold on hold [Applause] ah [Applause] [Music] high hey [Music] [ __ ] candy [Music] that [ __ ] was legendary but yeah in 2018 yadi would drop two studio albums low boat 2 and nothing to prove kept it short cause i ain't jibs she gonna let me [ __ ] she like that libo ad live hold on though hold on though i gotta mention that the intro for lobo 2 wasn't actually going to be self-made it was actually going to be another song where i don't know which one is better cause don't get me wrong i love self-made but this song actually feels more like that original lil boat sound so i don't know they're both fire but i wish this would have got released officially ah intro intro rich [ __ ] central vbs dentals spent one sixth action to watch god damn think i need a new heart i get a whole lot of gua i get a whole lot of guava i get a whole lot of guava banging out the [ __ ] back though [Music] lowboat 2 debuted at number 2 and sold 64 000 copies first week which was definitely an improvement from his previous project but it did get a lot of shitty scores though me personally i felt as if it has its moments but a lot of it was forgettable i don't know man calling it low boat 2 was a brave decision because you really got to live up to what the first project did and how it sounded but it didn't really have that low bolt sound to begin with in my opinion 66 is a classic though now for nothing to prove i ain't gonna lie fam the only thing he proved with this tape was that it was kind of booty cheeks i mean for the most part it just didn't really hit for me and i haven't gone back to this since it dropped other than yacht club and get dripped those are absolute [Music] the single for this tape who want the smoke with car to be an offset come on bro that was forgettable the scores weren't that great either hey at least the cover art is fire besides this a big watch time is dripping out for the clock yo you guys remember this song i ain't gonna lie this [ __ ] actually kind of slap though actually we were all we're literally always together at all times we we shared a room when he took me in he like shared his room with me shared his clothes with me now we definitely gotta talk about what happened with his longtime best friend and the rest of his crew the sailing team around this time the good perry formerly known as burberry perry cause you know burberry is really one of the key reasons yadi had that sound we all fell in love with that melodic fun low boat sound came from all those beats that perry was producing for him but it seemed as if the more mainstream yadi got the relationship and contributions to yadi's project started to fade more and more as the time went by perry wasn't involved in any of the projects yadi put out this year now why you might ask well we'll never know all the details and behind the scenes of stuff but in early 2018 yadi responded to a fan on twitter saying this although he did confirm that they were cool again in late 2018 in yadi's second interview with no jumper yadi briefly touched on the sailing team and what happened between them i saw something everyone's on the team but it didn't work that way for everyone everyone didn't have the same vision i had for themselves how much money i spent on these kids who don't care about themselves you can't want something from somebody who don't want it for yourself you know so then i had to just scale back a little bit and kind of do my own thing you know i'm saying and then he mentions it again in an interview with kerwin frost where he goes a little bit deeper it got to the point where i was spending so much money yeah like almost a million dollars trying to like create this company out of my own money right right and they didn't want it for themselves magazines and um taking them on tour around the world twice getting these hotels and these big tour buses and spend all this money on uniform custom uniforms and video shoots and they were just really lazy you know what i'm saying i was like why am i sitting here trying so hard to make you guys like just like my which i don't really like talking about my you know my old best friend perry yeah you know what i'm saying um which who i'm not that close to anymore yeah i never wanted anything from him just for him to be great right you know yeah but that's a long story now that we kind of got some context it makes me think twice about like damn yadi really did his team dirty or did he actually try and help out these dudes gave them opportunities but they just fumbled it that's not really yadi's responsibility at that point he gave them platforms and if they didn't run with it because they didn't have the same drive then screw them yadi gotta focus on his career at the end of the day fam so i kind of get it it just kind of sucks though you know to see him come up with all these dudes for him not to be cool with him anymore it's like damn but it is what it is though you live and you learn i'm a cool man and i'm cooling with the juice inside your superman just like a million dollars i'm in a fan on my [ __ ] got no pain and she can't feel the face she did two i feel like you definitely bring the energy i tried to interview [ __ ] trippy what's good chilly nothing going on what's up trippy what's going down come say hi to my twin man whole lot of games nothing really happened musically for yachty this year other than his annual mixtape that he always drops every year on his birthday with this year being the fourth one [ __ ] i'm the top of the tail like a [ __ ] i got the stick let it blow like a [ __ ] lobo 3 was supposed to come out in october of this year but it was delayed to 2020. but he was in a movie this year how we can get our money chris with the weed i'm in too dang to handle them hang on man that's so good damn our super weeds gone they got the bible too guys how high two quick too fast [Music] things we do for entertainment yeah i mean kind of i don't know if i like looking at you like this back i remember when this music video dropped there were many videos that were made about whether or not yadi sold out he's part of an agenda he's doing this solely for hella views wearing a dress for album sales you name it and believe what you want i thought the video was hilarious and the song is dope too so i think the idea of bopra was pretty funny i don't know it's a standout track for me when i think about songs from the pandemic and speaking of songs that came out in the pandemic yadi finally dropped his lobo 3 album on may 29th 2020. it didn't do too well commercially only selling 30 000 first week debuting at number 14 but the quality of this project is gas it's honestly one of my favorite projects from him and the best in the series to me how many me a minute before i can't hey i'm gonna be a [ __ ] [Music] big black pig by qc prepare me for the danger my stick got a scope like the texas park ranger there's so many bangers on here bro my two favorite songs on here gotta be from down bad and don't forget bro those songs are so underrated bruh i'm with them soldiers [Music] it's more to me than a mumble rapper you know i would be setting myself short if i settled for that like if i was okay with calling me a mumble rapper or soundcloud rapper or one hit wonder or whatever the [ __ ] pop rapper whatever someone wanted to say i would be i'll be setting myself short bro because i rap better than 96 percent of the new generation that's what i got that's a lot b that's a big number bro 96 yo bro it's no rapper from my class and after there's no [ __ ] for my class and after that i can't get on track with and it's going to [ __ ] on me bro mmm how y'all feel about that with the exception of maybe like x or juice world or i mean yeah in terms of the soundcloud rappers like boat really got it like when it comes to his bars he's kind of underrated but yeah towards the end of this year he ended up dropping a deluxe with low boat 3.5 which included two fire tracks in flex up and coffin [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] low key though in 2021 this man beau has been going crazy fam if i'm round [Music] so he's dropped a bunch of heat so far except that michigan boat tape i don't really have anything good to say about that tape to be honest i kind of [ __ ] all over it when it dropped and i kind of still stand by it i don't know it kind of just turned me off right away first listen where is my jeweler like that style of rap like yes cool some songs but i don't know it's just not really for me it's just too all over the place and so off beat like i just can't do it but he definitely redeemed himself with his birthday mix six fam oh my god bro this is my favorite project from him period like this [ __ ] is so fire bruh it really brings back 2016 vibes man like it's a blend of the melodic [ __ ] with the raps too like it's just so fire it's a virgo world for real playing my name with a sentence [ __ ] all these chromes [Music] [Music] to the bones [Music] bro like come on now i truly think at this point in yachty's career he really is underrated like he may not be as hot as he once was in 2016 but he's never fallen off really he's always like been there you know he may not be as big as his peers now like playboy uzi or even trippy to an extent but the way he's found ways to adapt change up his flows melodies link with other rappers to make fire tracks like bro yadi's such a beast bro he's definitely under appreciated i should say that boy went from the sailing team to the concrete boys and still going strong it's crazy how much his entire brand has been like rebranded and i truly do look forward to whatever he drops next because with yachty you never know that's what makes him pretty diverse like yay but it ain't that but i and i know how you feel though you feel me like that's why i'm speaking on that too like i probably definitely but i'm only gonna do this once it's pretty weird and wicked and you guys like what the [ __ ] how do you sit on that i'll show you all right that's me sitting like a normal human being on the edge of it yes sitting normal there's me laying a sleepy boat relaxing and living life to the fullest of capacity yes jungle boy bolt sitting in a curious way and that's me at the top because [ __ ] i'm at the top [ __ ] these shits are so [ __ ] stupid this [ __ ] has a washer on top of the washer this [ __ ] has a dryer on top of the dryer and all these [ __ ] moles who [ __ ] need all these molds man hot and cold my mama's so extra we didn't really club if you can't get anything just don't go and we never drunk alcohol except for that one time when i was like really really young and i saw like maybe like a tiny drop of beer in a in a beer can you drink it and i drunk it did you like it no it tastes like salty pea anybody who puts bacon on the milkshake is sick and will burn in hell my body is acting up right now like it's just doing crazy things [Music] uh [Music] so much [Music]
