Maybe somebody gave it to me or something. A cheap microphone, probably cost 20 bucks. I have a 4-track, this is what itвЂ™s gonna sound like, I got a drum machine, this is what itвЂ™s going to sound like. For you, how much of that was an artistic choice and how much of it was just, вЂњLook, I just have a 4-track. Everything was done on that 4-track.ДЄ lot of the stuff that was going around Memphis at the time вЂ“ and certainly your stuff in particular вЂ“ has that murky, waterlogged, cassette sound. AnythingвЂ™s possible.Дid you do all of the Volume 6 tape on your 4-track? вЂ¦ You know, I had a vision to get us up out the neighborhood with my music, and we did it, man. I put the 4-track on top of the bed, and I had a little olвЂ™ cheap mike and I recorded it. Actually, my art teacher sold me the 4-track. Because me and Project Pat, we brothers, so I slept on the top bunk.

I never had big speakers in my home, вЂ™cause my mama, she was like, вЂњNah, we ainвЂ™t having all that rap junk!вЂќ I recorded on headphones on the bunk bed. She didnвЂ™t want me to have loud music, so I had to record over a 4-track with headphones on. Yeah, yeah, a 4-track at my mamaвЂ™s house. Yeah, I put the rap in my history book, and I came back the next day, and I opened the book up, and it was the same rap, and I just wrote the second verse. I wrote it and just put it in my history book. I just wrote, вЂњSlob on my knob, like corn on the cob, check in with meвЂ¦вЂќ I wrote like the first verse, and I came back the next day and, while the teacher was talking, I finished the second verse. So while the teacher was teaching вЂ¦ I was like, вЂњMan, IвЂ™mma write me a rap.вЂќ It was history class. I was broke.Дo you remember the actual writing process? I had to get my money up, you know what IвЂ™m saying? They didnвЂ™t want to talk to no broke dudes. Once I got a car or something, then I started banging a few chicks. All the drug dealers was getting all the girls. I probably imagined it, you know what IвЂ™m saying? You couldnвЂ™t get laid in my neighborhood вЂ“ not unless you had some money. Were you actually getting laid in 11th grade or were you just imagining it at that point? I just consider myself just bullshitting with it. I just talked about stuff that went around in my neighborhood. I was just bullshittinвЂ™, you know what I mean? You know, you write some things and, you know, you donвЂ™t really take it seriously. So, you wrote вЂњSlob on My KnobвЂќ in 11th grade?Д®leventh grade at Northside High School. How did the dirty raps of an 11thВ grader jotting rhymes in a history class more than 20 years ago end up as the most influential rap song of 2018? Rolling Stone checked in with him вЂ¦ and did our job.
