Welcome to Younghollywood. com. What's up y'all? It's Michelle Marie coming to you from the BMI Awards. I just kinda clowned right now because I thought maybe YG and Cally Swag might be battling right now. Look though, that ain't right, but look, this is what we is though. We the West though. For real.
You gonna battle with this guy? Woo! That's the homie. That's the homie.
You guys should collab on a song together, I think.
We already did, but for sure, for sure we don't do more than that though, you feel me?
You want to do the doggie right now for me?
Uh-uh. What? I can't even right now. Y'all trying to y'all trying to embarrass me on camera. That's
We're not embarrassing you, you look good.
No, don't. You lying to me.
Okay. Well, everybody has to know, this guy right here is the mastermind behind tootin' and bootin'. Because you know, I tooted and booted it. He was saying, what's up? What's up? Took her to the crib. You know, I. You know, I.
Yeah, tooted and booted it. Yeah, tooted and booted it. Tooted and booted it. That's why I tooted and booted it. Woah! Woah!
How are you feeling about your success?
Shout out to the homies, you feel me? Shout out to homie T. C. 909 Dollasong. He did the beat. He's singing on the hook. Okay. You feel me? But yeah, we just out here. You feel me? Last year we was in the streets. Now we red carpet, VMA. You feel me? Honoring will I uh will. i. am, you feel me? With the homies, Cally Swag, you feel me? We chilling.
That's crazy. Now, now the whole story behind tootin' and bootin'. How did you come up with the concept?
It was, it's like a slang. It's a slang in in L. A. out here. It's a street slang. And we were just saying it, talking about it all the time. And then homies like, "Y'all should make a song called tootin' and bootin'." And that's what happened.
So what does it really mean? Tell me the meaning behind tootin' and bootin'.
Hit it and quit it. Woo, what's up, man? You feel me? Like the same night. Or it could be a one-night stand too, but like the real meaning is like, hit it, then you like, "All right, you gotta go." Yeah, like I'm done, you feel me? So that's what it's really about. It's not about the nasty. No, it ain't about the nasty stuff. And then you can like get off by saying like, like blaming it on the alcohol makes it like easier to get like get off of it like.
Right.
I was I was just drunk, it's alcohol's fault, you feel me?
Oh my god. So your life is completely changed out of nowhere. I mean, like you were in the streets, like you said. What is the one thing that you could say is the biggest blessing that you've had since the success?
I moved my mama into a house. I love it. And I got me a 745. Uh-oh. And I'm taking care of my little brother. I'm going to take him school shopping too.
So what's next for you? What's the next single?
Patty Cake is the next single. My DJ Mustard produced it, you feel me? I got a lot of stuff poppin'. I just shot a movie produced by uh Denzel, produced by uh Mario Van Peebles, and Snoop Dogg is playing my big brother in the movie.
Who are your inspirations? Who'd you really listen to when you were younger?
Lil Wayne, the homie P. C. , N. Z. O. He gon' get out right now, like next month. Uh, Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah. And now I listen to Drake and Wiz Khalifa.
Okay. What do you think about Drake?
Drake is h- he's hard. He's hard. Yeah. He's smart. I met her at the crib. Said what's up. Took her to the crib. You know I. Yeah, tooted and booted it. Yeah, tooted and booted it.
