Gimme is not one person. I’m talking about a lot of different situations. But in every situation, the person is like, “Gimme, gimme, gimme."I’m not talking towards one dude. It’s a lot of muthafuckas. Gimme just be somebody that be around. A real homie. I’m a good dude, so I done did or got a lot for the homies and people, period. Then some people get used to you just doing stuff for them, that they continue to just keep expecting shit and it’s like, "Bro. Nigga. When is this shit gonna stop? You ain’t my kid.”

I did the second verse to “Twist My Fingaz.” The day after that, I had my baby shower. It was the next day after that [I got shot]. Went to the studio again and everybody was talking about what happened. Niggas don’t know. Ain’t nobody said nothing. So we talked about it for like a hour or two.

After we got done with the conversation, I just told [DJ Swish] to play a beat. He played another beat and then he played that beat. And when that beat came on, I was just like “Who shot me?” That’s how the record came in. I started just going in.

I got that line off because everything going on right now with the police shooting blacks.

I’m incorporating a lot of that shit in my music because that’s what’s going on. I’m the type of nigga that I’m say something ‘bout it, I’m gonna take the Malcolm X approach and say something 'bout it.

I don’t care if the song is turnt up, I want all my records to mean something. I had to put some real shit up in that joint.

In the 1990s through the early 2000s Snoop had it and we loved it. Everybody loves Snoop Dogg and still loves Snoop Dogg and all of Tha Dogg Pound. That’s who was moving the culture. Now it’s the other way around.

I’m talking about the music, I’m talking about within the rap game.
