He’s spoken extensively on his love for the album, be he doesn’t feel the same about his entire catalog. His 2016 album “Still Brazy” is by far his most acclaimed, but he has more complicated feelings about it than you’d expect.

Q is certainly a fan of the album, saying “That sh*t is so hard.” But YG‘s feelings are more complicated. “I was in a dark-ass place when I made that album. My album wasn’t even supposed to sound like that. I started recording that album right around the time I got shot. I was just going through all that sh*t. And then I fell out with the homies. N*gga, I was in a dark-ass place. I had my newborn daughter but it was just dark. I was making sh*t that I didn’t even wanna, I was trying to be on some other sh*t but it wasn’t there. So I had to do the dark sh*t,” the “FDT” rapper explains. Check out the full discussion he and ScHoolboy Q had below.
