Well, this is quite interesting…
If this collaborative ever happens, it might be one the most sought after projects of its time. In a recently-released interview with Rolling Out, Young Thug shared his thoughts about linking up with legendary producer/rapper Kanye West and their previous encounters. Speaking to the Atlanta outlet, Thugger said the following:
Kanye didn’t have a phone for like three or four years,” Young Thug says. “When I first met him, I went to his house and he was like, ‘We gotta keep in touch; here’s my email.’ But he came on tour with Travis Scott and me. [Kanye] said he has a phone now because he has a wife. So he had to get a phone. But he called me Bob Marley. We [were] backstage at one of the tour dates at the Staples Center in L.A. and Kanye was backstage. He had a Beats Pill and was like, ‘I wanna hear all of your music in the world that’s not out.’ So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, ‘Let’s roll!’ He’s a fan. So that leads back to me saying fans are the main reason you stay motivated and become who you want to be. Kanye is like my brother, but he’s a real fan. He bought me some Yeezys and went on eBay to get them for me. That’s motivation.
From his relationship with Gucci Mane, to self-respect and the importance of being yourself, Young Thug’s Rolling Out interview is probably his best interview to date.
