1:12
old moniker right yeah yeah it's
1:13
official uh-huh so you don't want folks
1:16
to call you guap dad guap dad 4 000 just
1:19
guac yeah
1:20
that's where i'm at with it
1:22
it was uh
1:23
it it took me a while to figure out what
1:25
i was doing what i was doing with it i
1:27
remember bringing it up to fat man and
1:29
he was like
1:31
not against it but then uh i really
1:33
found a reason why after i had an
1:36
interest in changing my name
1:37
i i really just thought about it because
1:39
i was just looking at
1:41
people's careers and how they changed
1:44
over time yeah when i heard them in
1:46
different phases of different artists
1:48
felt like i was entering a new face so i
1:51
needed a new name but
1:53
i i like guap so guap that four thousand
1:56
so much that i wasn't going to change it
1:58
to nothing just sort of just like the
2:00
next level uh-huh this would guap
2:03
is what guap therefore it doesn't evolve
2:05
into
2:06
wobbles like a butterfly caterpillar
2:08
yeah guap dab 4000 was the caterpillar
2:11
yeah and guap is the butterfly yeah and
2:14
that's your metamorph into whatever
2:16
comes next right something mythical at
2:18
that point remind me of myself
2:24
he said mythical right
2:25
uh so does that mean did you leave a lot
2:28
of the guap dab 4 000 um
2:31
character traits you know behind in
2:33
terms of like being a scammer and scam
2:35
boy and
2:36
from those early days of mixed tapes or
2:38
you know your mentality are you still
2:40
down to do a credit card scam if if
2:43
it's right
2:44
if necessary man if if this [ __ ] stopped
2:47
working yeah
2:50
but it's working right now thank god so
2:53
uh i don't got no plans to to go back to
2:55
that life but i do that that is a big
2:58
part of my upbringing and uh
3:00
you know part of the the
3:03
culture of a lot of people that um
3:06
in the environment that i grew up in
3:08
and uh it's still important that i talk
3:11
about it and scan boy i turned it into a
3:13
brand too so that's gonna be forever i'm
3:16
gonna forever
3:17
make fun cool [ __ ] whenever i want to do
3:20
scan boy drop but uh it is a lot of
3:23
things that i shaved off though that
3:25
whopped that 4000 was doing that guap is
3:28
not
3:28
and it's just
3:30
i'm just being more tasteful man i'm
3:32
curating my life
3:33
because that's what i'm doing outside
3:35
the music so the music needs to be
3:37
curated the same way i like that you did
3:40
reality tv man i was uh yeah i remember
3:43
i think i might have even texted you
3:44
yeah i always texted him
3:50
it was a crazy ass time too for me it
3:52
was like 6 5 a.m or something my time
3:56
and i woke up to two texts from sway
3:58
like man just see you on tv this [ __ ] is
4:00
crazy doing it for the town
4:06
he's so active i was so happy for you
4:09

4:13
about how quasi brought up who quasi
4:15
brought yesterday we had mason mason is
4:17
a young artist out of um
4:19
oakland trying to go to state in the
4:21
team san diego and oakland trying to go
4:23
to state entertainment i grew up with
4:25
his father
4:26
right um and then we had kilafonte yeah
4:29
and that's all squash yeah when you see
4:32
what's going on in the town right now
4:34
what how do you feel you're a big part
4:35
of that you know this right yeah like
4:37
you expanded the boundaries of
4:39
expectation of who and what the artist
4:41
should sound like out of oakland which
4:43
really excited me you know when i see
4:45
you going to comic-con and you dressed
4:48
up as a kegel
4:54
i was an anime character named hawks his
4:56
name was hawk oh okay
4:58
he goes
4:59

5:01
it squeezing the cherry type
5:04
sway taking you to a whole nother he
5:07
said come on
5:17
and you just mentioned that you was
5:19
doing something with wiz what was you
5:20
doing with this we shot a video
5:22
yesterday for you or for him for me
5:25
for what song this is new song i got me
5:27
him and currency oh okay you sound like
5:30
you're being secretive it's called pose
5:32
no i'm not even being secretive in fact
5:34
i already didn't gave
5:35
them the fire i got
5:50
tune right synergy um
5:53
aapi
5:55
um
5:55
what is that that stands for
5:58
asian american
5:59
pacific islander
6:01
month
6:02
um you've been very in front of that uh
6:06
movement that community yeah uh rep that
6:09
representation folks don't realize we
6:11
talked about this before
6:13
um because of the color of your skin
6:15
that you have that filipino background
6:17
as well how do the kids receive you in
6:19
the filipino community man it's been
6:22
great to get the love that we've been
6:24
getting because you know we i
6:27
really started coming forward with that
6:29
in the middle of quarantine so it was
6:31
super hard to get a grasp on if it was
6:34
actually working if i was connecting to
6:36
the people that i wanted to connect to
6:38
telling them that you know i'm one of
6:40
you like [ __ ] with me
6:42
you feel me and as soon as i just i mean
6:44
even going we went i went bowling to the
6:46
bay just like at a random bowling alley
6:48
in frisco and i took a picture with
6:50
probably every filipino [ __ ] in
6:52
there
6:53
[Laughter]
6:56
it's been connected and i [ __ ] with it
6:58
though i really i really do because
7:01
that's a part of my life where i i think
7:04
i really was looking for
7:05
some some level of acceptance from that
7:08
community because i grew up a part of it
7:10
and i was always in it but clearly i
7:13
look how i look so that just
7:16
created a little bit of disdain
7:19
but i i
7:21
yeah
7:22
but that's typically how it is to be
7:24
dark in any anywhere in the world
7:27
you know so
7:29
i worked past that i left past that and
7:31
i rap past that so it's tight to uh
7:35
to just connect with anybody who just
7:36
heard that [ __ ] you know what i'm saying
7:38
that's beautiful i remember years years
7:41
years ago um
7:42
tay diggs who has a child who is both
7:45
black and asian and he was saying it was
7:47
important that his child grew up knowing
7:49
both cultures and there were so many
7:52
folks online that was like no stop that
7:54
kid is black and that's the way that he
7:56
should be raised
7:57
why was it important for you to embrace
8:00
because of
8:02
subtle feelings that i just expressed in
8:04
that previous statement that i had
8:07
that i lacked the clarity on
8:10
via
8:11
not having enough self-awareness to uh
8:15
articulate at that time but i obviously
8:17
always felt this way when you are
8:21
when you mix with anything or grew up in
8:23
a multi-racial household to where the
8:25
cultures is present i don't give a [ __ ]
8:28
about the percentage but like the
8:30
culture
8:31
is definitely some half and half [ __ ]
8:33
going on
8:34
that's your life that show exists that's
8:36
what you know
8:37
you know so it's not like i don't give a
8:41
[ __ ] how dark or how light i ended up
8:43
being i was gonna be handsome regardless
8:49
you just can't deny
8:51
the roots
8:56
anything to give somebody happiness and
8:58
like uh
9:00
help them further submit themselves in
9:03
their identity i feel like it's super
9:05
important
9:06
super so if you as a parent
9:09
who was opposing tate digs to do that
9:12
just because you want to further
9:14
accent the blackness america already
9:16
doing that stop being weird
9:18
stop being weird i remember going to the
9:20
philippines so i wonder if i told you
9:22
this story and i went to barack barakai
9:24
yeah yeah yeah and um
9:26
i had to
9:28
oh i had a really weird experience and i
9:30
was with the woman i was dating at that
9:32
time whose father was black and mother
9:35
was filipino from the philippines
9:37
because her father was uh served in a uh
9:39
service right yeah and
9:41
that's how i go that's how it goes
9:44
and i had my locks and i remember
9:46
walking by some folks some filipino
9:48
folks and they start saying stuff and
9:50
tagalog
9:52
tagalog right and i actually what did
9:54
they say and it was really
9:56
degrading my locks and without getting
9:58
and i was the brownest person but then
10:00
some some of the folks from who lived in
10:02
the hills came down and they were darker
10:05
than me
10:06
right and the lighter-skinned filipinos
10:09
were frowning on the darkest skin
10:11
filipinos and i was like damn this is
10:13
just like america and that exists that
10:16
kind of yeah skin division right that
10:18
complexion division yeah yeah but for
10:21
some reason that [ __ ] is everywhere i
10:23
don't give a [ __ ] where are you
10:25
unless you one of them like
10:28
y'all started there and y'all started
10:29
that dark mhm
10:32
it's it's up for us
10:34
hey where is funk it's [ __ ] it's funk
10:37
it's funny funk is a oakland word
10:39
meaning this friction mike muse i didn't
10:41
know if you knew what that meant
10:42
i do now okay there you go
10:45
shout out to funk town
10:48
that's the area
10:49
near where we grew up but go ahead mike
10:52
um one is good to finally meet you in
10:54
person citizens had a chance to meet
10:56
guap uh during the pandemic and he was
10:58
really he was actually my first artist i
11:00
had on reverse to mike uh promoting and
11:04
advocating the quadrant um what i love
11:06
about you at the time was just how
11:07
honest and vulnerable you were about not
11:09
understanding
11:11
local elections and just hearing you now
11:13
just talk about your vulnerability of
11:14
not being accepted by the aapi community
11:17
or that feeling they wouldn't accept you
11:19
you've always been so vulnerable and
11:20
transparent in what you didn't know and
11:22
being comfortable in speaking about that
11:23
and then i think you're a good
11:24
representation of showing that when you
11:26
do open the vulnerability there are
11:28
people who will catch you and wrap
11:29
around you and support you and amplify
11:31
that can you talk to us a little bit
11:32
about how
11:34
that moment when we saw a lot of the
11:36
hate towards the aapi community that was
11:39
going on i'm curious is that when you
11:41
decided that you wanted to embrace it
11:43
more and then can you talk a little bit
11:45
about what your family conversation was
11:46
like and what your family was
11:47
experiencing as we're seeing the hate
11:50
crimes go up yeah with high percentages
11:52
and a against a pi community man it's so
11:55
crazy because uh you know especially
11:58
when i come on sway i try to
12:00
uh
12:01
be on my my best uh
12:03
behavior
12:05
i notice
12:06
i try to be on my best behavior but when
12:09
it came i i started saying i was
12:11
filipino because i wanted
12:14
filipinos to [ __ ] with me it just ended
12:16
up happening maybe like
12:18
four or five months into us making the
12:20
music the violence started and that that
12:24
that [ __ ] started happening and as a i'm
12:27
just as
12:28
somebody from 10th street on west
12:30
oakland yeah the family the
12:32
conversations that i was having with my
12:34
grandma
12:35
was
12:36
was sick it was like it's up like you
12:40
call one of us if anything
12:42
i don't care if you
12:44
just went to the grocery store and you
12:46
won't even want to go walk out no more
12:48
like call me
12:49
it's good
12:51
because if something somebody did
12:53
something to my granny bro
12:54
it'd be sick yeah it'd be it'd be
12:57
[ __ ] sick
13:00
so
13:01
that's what we was talking about for
13:02
real yeah if you really want to know
13:04
like to have that conversation with it
13:06
was like man you need to know try it if
13:08
you want to you feel me yeah you need i
13:10
wanted her to have that security because
13:12
it's scary and she older she walk a
13:16
little slower now
13:17
i just i don't want none of that
13:20
pressure on her but it was hard to curve
13:23
it because it seemed like
13:25
[ __ ] was doing it yeah
13:27
for real
13:28
it was happening in oakland
13:30
i mean it was a couple licks that
13:32
happened in oakland but that's also why
13:34
my perspective is skewed because i know
13:36
how people act back home and why they do
13:39
it and i also know how press
13:42
uh
13:43
blow things up and also assimilate
13:45
things that don't aren't really
13:47
related you feel me
13:49
but that's kind of how i was looking at
13:51
it too when it first happened in oakland
13:53
i almost wanted to write it off like oh
13:54
that was it's just a lick
13:57
and then i think it happened another
13:59
time and there was no reason
14:01
it was no reason there was no it was
14:03
hate and i
14:05
it's that hurt my feelings right of
14:07
course that hurt my feelings and i found
14:09
out
14:10
that he was black and i was like come on
14:12
dog what are we doing
14:14
how did we even get here how did that
14:16
make you feel though knowing a black
14:17
person was
14:19
inflicting the kind of hate that's
14:21
inflicted on you know on black people
14:24
you know man uh
14:26
i wrote i wrote it off to
14:28
edd what do you mean edd hit the black
14:32
community like crack and i think nobody
14:34
noticed
14:35
because it was small but nobody in the
14:38
world and especially in the black
14:40
community has ever had that much access
14:43
to money for such an easy to play
14:46
scam how they looking at it it's just
14:48
like it was such a common lick it's just
14:50
like who hadn't done it
14:52
people who never would have trapped all
14:54
day life just to get like ten thousand
14:56
dollars was day big lick and you had ten
14:59
bands and then blew it in the club
15:00
because it was the first time he had it
15:02
those is the type of people who was
15:04
hitting those licks because they was
15:05
also
15:06
broker than they ever been after that
15:10
that's how i think black people
15:12
specifically landed there because there
15:14
was there was such a radical shift
15:17
and this is the same people like the
15:19
[ __ ] that was going down for this for
15:21
real for real you look them up these the
15:23
same people who
15:24
uh might have been on rodeo eight months
15:28
ago wow
15:29
remember when that was going on
15:31
breaking into the
15:33
stores there's different expensive man
15:35
i'm talking before they start breaking
15:37
in it that was after them [ __ ] were
15:39
shopping over there they bought them
15:40
cars they wrote that [ __ ] off then they
15:43
scanned for all that [ __ ] and then had
15:44
nothing now okay nobody free to feed
15:47
them frenchies and nobody trained them
15:48
they're [ __ ] everywhere all the
15:50
rentals is ruined the [ __ ] is still
15:53
in tulum they never came back
15:56
because it's always somebody else to fly
15:58
him out wow and [ __ ] got depressed and
16:01
that involved ego too oh come on speak
16:04
on that imagine being a [ __ ] that could
16:06
finally say i got it the the appearance
16:08
of being the illest one and then you
16:10
know
16:11
you know because of other violence that
16:13
started that this specific community is
16:16
delic
16:17
wow
16:19
and so they become targeted wow oh man i
16:22
ain't heard that perspective yeah maybe
16:24
because i'm gonna hit you from this from
16:26
the rails the damn near side
16:29
it's a former scammer right here yeah
16:31
you know but uh
16:33
wow
16:34
that's something we all going home yeah
16:37
i'm glad you offered that yeah
16:39
go ahead mike you good you you shut up i
16:42
don't think you i don't think
16:44
anybody in this room has ever been you
16:46
know flabbergasted like a different
16:49
wow
16:50
he gave context to how violence isn't
16:52
monolithic exactly and how the cause and
16:55
reason why people commit violent crimes
16:57
isn't monolithic and that there is a
16:59
psychology behind that and i think that
17:01
is the why that we're getting to the why
17:03
that it happens the way that it does and
17:05
so what you given that perspective is
17:07
really educating us all about the
17:09
different facets of
17:11
crime and hate right and how it doesn't
17:14
come from the same place the many wise
17:15
yeah um yeah man thank you for that man
17:18
i want to pivot a little bit because
17:20
i've seen you uh you mentioned wiz um
17:23
i've seen you with so many different
17:24
people that we don't often see people
17:26
from the bay with you know drake j cole
17:29
um well no i won't say drake drake drake
17:32
is a
17:33
damn nearby nato
17:35
i'm about to say man
17:38
he might have grew up in on 10th and
17:39
center
17:41
you know
17:43
[Laughter]
17:52
see that's the real perspective that's
17:54
right okay
17:55
uh but i love seeing you with rose
17:57
sitting at tables with rose having
17:59
conversations and
18:00
and and that sort of thing man and i
18:02
think it just opens everyone's mind up
18:05
to what's possible as an artist you do
18:08
that really
18:10
really well man and and that's that's
18:13
that's one of the proudest things i like
18:15
about you because i think um for me at
18:17
least is how you expand our mindset and
18:20
our realm of possibility out of the bay
18:23
i'm always talking about debate they'll
18:24
tell you tired of me talking about
18:29
every two minutes but at the same time
18:31
interesting enough with the bay
18:33
like what's the kid named 24 carrick
18:36
um
18:37
24k golden
18:39
amazing who signed with golden state
18:42
entertainment yourselves yourself almost
18:44
even as
18:47
oakland as you are creatively you're
18:50
almost an outlier right you know what i
18:52
mean
18:53
and for that maybe the bay or oakland
18:57
specifically doesn't always initially
18:59
gravitate towards that have you
19:01
experienced that yeah
19:03
yeah i mean
19:04
luckily i think
19:07
this new stuff and my new approach to
19:09
music and
19:11
kind of like been reap i've been back
19:13
home a lot been with a lot of family i
19:16
just got a
19:17
a better sense of who i want to make
19:19
music for
19:20
and uh
19:22
[ __ ] gonna like what i'm doing now so
19:25
i but i i kind of always
19:27
wanted to fall in that pocket anyway
19:29
because i'm from there so i want people
19:31
back home to be like my number one fans
19:33
it just didn't work out for me at first
19:35
that way especially because i was an
19:37
internet baby
19:38
and i was i was a guap that for a
19:40
thousand was just
19:42
as wild as a [ __ ] could get you know
19:45
um
19:47
and that's off-putting for people
19:48
sometimes yeah
19:50
yeah especially i don't [ __ ] if you
19:52
finish there or not you know i always
19:54
stood out back home it's just that i'm
19:57
from there and i'm not there now so i
19:59
forg uh you kind of forget about that
20:02
and you like
20:06
but
20:06
i just had to same thing man i just been
20:09
rapping past everything rapping past
20:11
everything right past that now i'm
20:12
rapping here and i know [ __ ] got the
20:14
[ __ ] with it is that why you call
20:16
yourself though uh uh the the song black
20:18
iris iverson the video song iverson was
20:21
kind of like you know uh moved to his
20:24
own
20:25
you know yeah
20:26
wild card right is that is that what's
20:28
behind the meaning of black iverson yeah
20:30
you want to know some funny story i did
20:33
i originally made black iverson just to
20:35
be petty
20:36
because i um
20:38
i swear i i uh
20:40
i go on tumblr or pinterest or pornhub
20:44
sometimes in the studio just to look at
20:46
stuff
20:47
and uh what do you see at pornhub what's
20:49
your search engine like what are you
20:50
looking like yeah what's your search
20:53
i put on i like if i do put on porn in
20:56
the studio or i'm making beats it'd be
20:57
like lesbian porn or something i just
20:59
need something
21:01
i want to get inspired by the form you
21:03
know what i'm saying i'm not trying to
21:04
like get horny right but i'm trying to
21:06
be extra artsy you know what i'm saying
21:08
i might had a robe on at the same time
21:13
you feel me just keep it player clear
21:16
it's not really sexual though it's just
21:18
to inspire me i'll come up with some
21:20
[ __ ] but
21:20
[Laughter]
21:24
i love it
21:26
yeah but i was uh i was on tumblr and i
21:29
came across iverson like a collage
21:32
iverson fit pics and i realized that how
21:34
much my current silhouette in fashion is
21:37
kind of derivative of that and how much
21:39
that i've also always been kind of
21:40
stealing
21:41
from that aesthetic you know what i'm
21:43
saying
21:44
just even with i
21:46
had do-rags over that
21:48
i mean headbands over the do-rags tying
21:50
them weird stuff and you know all that
21:53
was things that i was already doing
21:55
and i was like man
21:57
i need to be i just i need to be the one
22:00
that make the iverson song
22:02
what
22:03
and then my feelings got hurt
22:05
because i thought i posted malone and i
22:08
was like [ __ ]
22:10
and then that made me kind of mad too
22:12
that's why where the petty come in
22:13
because i was like man he got white
22:14
iverson i'ma let him have it i loved
22:16
what i was it was really my favorite
22:18
song that summer when that came out yeah
22:20
that was my [ __ ]
22:21
[ __ ] i had my daddy cadillac i used to
22:23
you feel me
22:24
but i was like but i need to make black
22:27
iverson though because we need the black
22:28
iverson song
22:30
i just started to be quirky if i kept
22:33
black
22:34
in it just to be
22:35
like overtly black you know black
22:38
iverson
22:39
and then i wrote the song about kind of
22:41
like my journey
22:44
without uh and it ended up relating
22:46
another way but it was really just my
22:48
journey uh
22:50
coming up from here to now like getting
22:52
to guap and i start like the flow really
22:56
kind of outline
22:57
how i'm going to be approaching music
22:59
the music feel that way and it's funny
23:02
too because
23:03
when you talk about iverson and his
23:05
famous like practice quote practice you
23:08
know what i'm saying i feel like
23:09
i i was uh
23:11
i had been practicing but practicing a
23:13
bit wrong
23:15
you know
23:16
up until up until recently in this for
23:19
the [ __ ] that we've been trying to do
23:21
with myself and the brand so i that i
23:24
related in another way just now
23:27
that flow you talking about man is that
23:29
what we doing today are we saving that
23:35
let's go um there you go that's good
23:36
