The Rise of Trippie Redd (Documentary)

[Music] at first it was like trippy hippy and then i put red with two ds one because my brother's rap name was dirty red at some point and then uh my grandma's favorite color is red so that's why i decided to put two d's at the end of red pegasus no that's the whole symbolism about it it's just like what does it mean y'all about horses yeah like you know how can you make it i don't know how the pegasus was with uh hercules and percy jackson like that yeah is that what it was just a ride or die thing that was always there for them did i do the [ __ ] dance like nipples [ __ ] i gave me some shooters yeah my wrist shouted with the glee came through like hit that pole like whoa i'm getting money got my [ __ ] diving like a dolphin and if you talking all that [ __ ] i send you off for auctions get me paid young [ __ ] hey yo [ __ ] get me laid young [ __ ] these guys is lit they offer too much [ __ ] bro for me now we ain't even off nothing shut the [ __ ] up [ __ ] i don't do drugs i'm trippy red man right right i mother nature made weed we decided to roll it in [ __ ] leaves and smoking michael lamar white iv aka trippy red was born on june 18th 1999 in canton ohio which isn't really the safest place to grow up in i come from canton ohio but i stayed in columbus canton most dangerous small city in america well second have you ever wondered why trippy goes so damn hard for the number 14 i mean he talks about it all the time lil foster it's even tatted on his forehead so here's why like 14 like it goes a long way like i told you that's my street and where i'm from but like at the same time like if you look up 14 angel or 1400 angel like there's really a big ass quote like this long about what the number 14 means and how much like it's an angel bro it's an angel that's all i can say like i'll go to places and i'll just see 14 out of nowhere like his dad was in jail during the time of his birth and his mother tanya white raised him as a single mom growing up all his mom would listen to were artists like ashanti beyonce tupac and nas which led to him gaining interest to artists such as t-pain kiss nirvana gucci marilyn monroe and lil wayne tribby described himself to be like riley from the boondocks as a kid being bad as hell but despite all that he was actually a really good student with a 4.0 average but what really made trippy want to become a rapper was his brother who was a rapper himself and went by the name of dirty red aka oomp who ended up passing away in a car crash in 2014. trippy then started to take his music seriously by releasing his first two songs sub-zero and new ferrari which i can't seem to find anywhere bruh i guess he deleted them shortly after that boy graduated high school and then ended up moving to atlanta where he ended up linking with another rapper lil wopp they ended up meeting because of a fan who posted a comment on instagram telling them to make music together one of my fans commented under his [ __ ] and was like bro work with him he's hard and i linked up with him we clicked as soon as we met like the first day like it was from that point on that trippy started going in with the studio time which he actually never paid for cause [ __ ] held it down for him so many people [ __ ] with me and wanted me in their studios like i never had to pay for a studio session like and he was working alongside another artist as well cody shane he then went on to drop three mixtapes awaking my inner beast [Music] [Applause] [Music] trying [Music] [Music] hold up it's okay okay by the way that beast mode mixtape was all produced by a young pierre born pierre leave that park fam pierre used to sneak artists in like trippy and young nudie at epic record studio in atlanta eventually that q's and p's song really started gaining steam on soundcloud which led to trippy signing to the label strange entertainment now known as elliott grange entertainment aka 10k projects which six nine eventually signed to as well but we'll get into that soon stupid i'm not going to let you get the chance so 2016 was a dope fun year for trippy as he was gaining hella buzz in the soundcloud scene in the end of that year he would drop the song love scars which actually was a part of another song long way home from mars slash love scars trippy just ended up splitting the song into its own long way home from mars slash love scars but then i just split them apart and made love scars its own song honestly bro long way home from mars is fire bruh you know i get it popping 2017 was a huge year for trippy i don't even know where to begin bro it should never it should never come down to something like this this should never be a problem right here i don't even know how cody let this happen how y'all let that happen bro [ __ ] always talking about i'm your dad now and all this other [ __ ] bro saying [ __ ] are stealing your swag bro like it's on my [ __ ] face trippy actually had some beef with uzi at some point as he was accusing him of stealing his love scars idea with a song called love scars loki i remember this and was like wow uzi really biting trippy but they ended up talking it out and they cool now but they actually still don't have a song together that's released to the public to this day a real shame yeah [Music] i guess i'll start off with the mixtape that he dropped in may of that year a love letter to you with the song love scars really blowing up after the music video and now at this point trippy was really gaining steam [Music] at this point trippy and six nine were actually cool with each other and ended up doing another fire song called ooey that was the most fun video it's kind of weird seeing them two together not gonna lie and of course i can't make a trippy documentary without mentioning that boy x and the relationship they had x really rocked with trippy and saw similarities between the two how did you meet him in the first place i was in the car listening to uh [ __ ] the [ __ ] up [ __ ] up and uh i made an insta snap and tagged a minute and he hit me back he was like i love your [ __ ] bro i i see similarity between us like you not on with these other kids or i [ __ ] with you and ever since then we just have been talking and [ __ ] they ended up creating one of the best songs of the soundcloud era [ __ ] love which actually has the most streams of any song on soundcloud if i'm not mistaken but yeah while trippy was getting hotter by the minute he ends up dropping another tape in october of that year a love letter to you too [Applause] the mixtape reached number 34 on the billboard hot 200 and the tape was just another stepping stone for trippy's career with some of my personal favorites like bust down whoa whoa whoa and hellboy [Music] yo do y'all remember this trippy was actually supposed to be on god's plan that's pretty much how the whole b for him and x started cause x wasn't rocking with drake after he stole his whole look at me flow on kmt damn bro imagine what this would have done for trippy if he was on this who knows where things would have taken him in december of that year trippy went on to drop his biggest song to date with travis scott dark knight dumbo oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah where are you at bro bro you sorry bro bro damn son where'd you find this [Applause] [Music] i just pulled up in a bentley okay but for real about that six nine in me situation yeah we didn't really get along back in 2018 but trippy continued to do his thing that year and never hit the brakes well i mean he did get arrested twice but besides that though he ended up dropping one of his best projects ever with life's a trip with songs like bang together taking a walk oomp's revenge and more forever [Music] get that bag hoe cuz that [ __ ] up for grabs hoe and then only three months later bro he gives us his third installment to his love letter to you series which i love just as much oh my god i love it oh my god with songs like tapanga love scars 3 a love letter to you three loyalty before royalty 1400 999 freestyle like come on bro this [ __ ] is gas [Music] stop you in danger shawty do not play no games [Music] [Music] god it debuted at number three on the us billboard 200 charts selling 84 000 copies first week you know what i'm saying and i'm a double xl freshman trippy also made it on the 2018 double xl freshman list and i would say him jid and ski mask are the only ones who maintain relevancy he probably didn't really need this but it's dope for sure [Music] let's talk about the album so uh so why'd you name it that was it explanation point it was really on some tribute to like x he taught me a lot like the man was amazing like he really opened his arms up to me his first album his debut album i was the only feature on emma like i went and visited him actually recently miami it was just so weird i broke down it was just crazy i just felt this energy oh no it just inspired me i felt like that's when i really was like i'ma just name this exclamation in august of 2019 trippy dropped his second studio album exclamation point and despite it reaching number three on the charts it had a lot of mixed reviews from fans and critics i know most of the people i come across that talk about this album consider it to be his weakest project and i guess that's fair because his other projects are in my opinion just better so yes i can agree but there are some gems on here like snakeskin which is my favorite trippy song mac 10 under enemy arms and keep your head up for [Music] for me playboy cardi was actually on this tape originally but got taken off pretty quickly which no one really knows why just call it a dub because like i said they all in your comments asking everybody want to know so that's it all right [Music] i wish that you would love me i wish that you would love me more yeah hold up let me pop my [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] talking we gonna leave him in a ditch a love letter to you u4 was released in november of that year and that boy trippy bounced back big time selling 104 000 copies first week as opposed to exclamation points 51 000 and went number one on billboard in 2019 trippy was killing it with the features too with two of my favorite being candy and bad vibes forever trippy red's third studio album pegasus was officially released on october 30th 2020. the entire album actually leaked two months before that and it still managed to sell 60 000 copies first week debuting at number two on the billboard with my favorite songs being wii v12 love scars 4 and tm666 i'm a big dog [Music] fun fact though tm666 was actually released on christmas of 2017 bro so where are we at now with trippy red in 2021 [Music] but trippy just did a feature though with the rapper dax on the song i don't want another sorry which he bodies by the way and we're kind of just waiting to see if he ever drops this rock album he said he's been working on i think it's supposed to be called life of knights so we'll see i'm really looking forward to it oh and he dyed his hair red again the other day too not that that really matters but yeah whole lot of red [ __ ] but yeah the fact that this dude is only 21 years old at the time i'm recording this is insane to me you really can't hate on this man's success bro you just can't trippy to me is a timeless artist and really proved all those haters wrong whoever said he's just a soundcloud rapper or he's just gonna come and go nah bruh he's here to stay and he has way more hits to come trippy's potential is through the roof bruh keep doing you trippy and inspiring the youth with your dope ass music is lit [Applause] he dropped it hey guys smoke a wood in the woods on some wood i approve this message 1400 800.
