0:02

so these the same ones yg was eaten yeah slightly different on the sauces but all right you i respect you too fool [Music] hey what's going on everybody for first week feast i'm shawn evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and today we're joined by schoolboy q the

0:28

greatest he's a five-time grammy-nominated platinum-selling artist every album he drops is a marquee event in hip-hop and his most recent release crash talk is no different schoolboy cube welcome to the show what up bro what up how are you with spicy food do you crazy yeah i love spicy food i

0:44

prefer spicy food all the time but you know when they prepped me before this they made it seem like this was like a normal spicy so i'm a little nervous right now in your head a little bit yeah you know what i'm saying you [Music] [Music] so back in 2016 you famously trolled

1:28

fans by releasing a version of the blank face album art with the crying jordan meme on it yeah and then even your most recent video for num nom juice it has these deep cut internet references like elon musk hitting the joint on the joe rogan podcast i use the internet for funny things like a lot of people grieve

1:45

on the internet a lot of people like uh you know look for sad things try to do motivational things on the internet and i'm just not really here for that like i deal with all that in real life so for the most part i'm just looking for funny stuff dude it's not funny i'm just scrolling right by it

2:01

and then what about when you drop a project like do you care what people are saying about it online or do you block out the twitter channel i don't i don't yeah i don't check comments because it's always bad you get good you get good comments obviously yeah you get a more good than

2:15

bad but you for some reason you only focus on the bad ones those are the ones we remember yeah exactly so yeah i'm not here for the slander and all that i'm cool on that [Music] sauce bae yeah you like that one yeah sound like me a stripe that's not even hot so as i understand it you've been

2:42

working on your golf game almost daily falling in love with the sport on accident taking a bet from a friend who said you couldn't hit a birdie what would you say has been your crowning golf achievement so far getting that birdie getting that birdie i want 10 grand off of it um but for the most part

3:03

playing golf got me out of like depression and stuff because like sometimes you can be depressed and don't know you're depressed because you're just going through the motions of life i mean i was the guy that i didn't like to take pictures with fans and stuff i mean i would do it but for the most part

3:20

it was like an attitude or i was just like oh my god like i always walk everywhere i go with my hoodie on to my head down just in a dark space where you just it's just not good it's not healthy to raise kids that way and last year i wouldn't found golf my ideas started flowing better my my mood started

3:37

flowing better i became a better parent i just smile smile way more you know i stopped being just this depressed want to stand the house hide all day and then like hip-hop golf has a lingo and an etiquette that's all its own so what i want to do is hit you with some golf slang and if you know what it means

3:54

maybe you can explain it to the people watching and if you don't know what it means maybe just take a guess okay all right yeah i'm gonna be honest most of my homies ain't really into all that but um i may know something yeah maybe you pick some stuff up let's see maybe let's

4:06

see have you ever heard of a fried egg oh yeah friday that's when it's in the bunker and um the ball is like surrounded in this little island of sand kind of ding ding ding ding what's a duffer or a hacker me me basically that duff a lot dude cause i have the bad problem of i used to play baseball i

4:27

used to be really good at baseball so um i have a bad habit when i play golf i lean back a lot what about a chili dip have you ever heard of a chili dip yeah man these some real white [ __ ] that invented this [ __ ] dog oh no none of that chili dip i think it's like when you take out

4:44

some grass before you hit the ball that's pretty much a chili dip on it oh yeah there's like a dove pretty much mm-hmm do you know what cabbage is no not smoked cabbage that's about it we smoke a whole lot of that [ __ ] on the court a whole lot of that [ __ ] [Music] so up next shaquanda's hot pepper sauce

5:05

wandas our little ghetto ass let's see what our little ghetto ass talking about [Music] what [ __ ] what's your quality so far so good no yeah she ain't from the projects though so you get a lot of love in the rap community not only because of the artistry and realness that you bring to

5:27

the music but also for being one of the funniest guys behind the scenes yeah and then you had some hilarious segments with pete holmes back when he had his talk show i'm a boy he remembered those moments very fondly when he was on hot ones but he did make the point that rappers are always burdened with this

5:42

having to be cool all the time rappers take away their funny side by trying to be a rapper right you know what i'm saying like like you see rappers like the whole thing is just like a thing it's like uh it's like a rapper kit like a bunch of chains and like oh yeah you know as soon as the

5:59

camera going they go right in the middle oh you see what's going on you lame ass [ __ ] [ __ ] you [ __ ] you [ __ ] ain't getting no money but like everybody getting money dog you know what i'm saying but you know that's just rappers trying to be that thing and not being a self i'm more so

6:15

being myself i know a lot of rappers are funny they just won't be they self [Music] yeah this [ __ ] easy car no problem easy oh good though so before the billboard hits and the platinum records i know that you had dreams of being a scholarship athlete and to this day still follow things like

6:42

the ufc and college basketball very closely love it ufc boxing college basketball i love it and then two-time mvp mike trout for a while man of the year was his walk-up song yeah and you know i'm a die-hard angel fan yeah did you get a chance to meet him when you threw out the first pitch of that oh man

6:59

i'm mad dude i wanted to see him meet him you know what i mean but didn't work out do you have a suggestion for the new walk-up song that he should do you got to go numb dude you got to turn up two-door coupe hopping jacket about yeah but that might be a little too much is it still [ __ ] the dodgers [ __ ] the

7:24

dodgers for show [ __ ] the dodgers everybody i know is dodger fans i grew up in l.a l.a you know what i mean so everybody i know is dodger fans and it's like they don't let you breathe like as soon as they find out you're an angel fan it's like what how you are you are bruh so i've been hearing it my whole

7:44

life they weak ass they get to the championship they're good every year don't do [ __ ] still ain't won since i was [ __ ] born with 86 i was born in 86. [ __ ] 20 years old time but the dodgers this dodgers that [ __ ] you never saw anything you never saw nothing like you [ __ ] be

8:03

hitting me up they'd be about comments all that something like bro i got nobody got time for that dodger [ __ ] [ __ ] the dodgers i know that you've been to some pga tour events do you have an opinion on these fans that scream things like baba bowie or mashed potatoes i'm one of those [ __ ] that's screaming

8:20

and [ __ ] so i [ __ ] with them dude my homies tony feed out who was playing that was my partner in uh genesis yeah opening them i just kept saying drippy you know that's my whole thing when i hit a good shot with that drip you know what i'm dripping right now or whatever you know

8:33

what i mean he said it at the master's thing and he was like uh put it such and such or something a chip or something he's like yeah and i just drifted in hello yeah you know i'm rubbing off on you man you know what i mean so yeah i'll [ __ ] with it i [ __ ] with the hecklers and [ __ ]

8:47

long as they don't do it in the middle of your backswing but right after you hit it yeah yeah fair game i love that [Music] i'm gonna spice that in this [ __ ] they talking all this all crying [ __ ] it's coming all right i'll remember you said this so typically on wing5 we do this thing

9:12

called explain that gram but it makes no sense for you because you have this habit of completely washing and deleting all the pictures off your instagram from time to time so we're going to call an audible and take it back to a 2014 interview you did with power 106 where you described

9:26

yourself as a boring person who sits around playing video games and one of our favorite things to talk about on hot ones is celebrity gamers and whether or not they talk they trash talk teenagers over the headset oh yeah i'm going in do you remember the last time you snapped on the playstation network

9:44

every day there's no do i remember i did it today yesterday day before yesterday let me tell you this i did it tomorrow too you get what i'm saying like i do it every day it's you better not if once i see your mic pop up on the side hey you [ __ ] ass [ __ ] hey what you talking about

10:02

as soon as it's over i'm going right in on you do you ever get recognized yeah i hear people brill cause my name is schoolboy q or my gang but it spells like way different but you can kind of tell it's spelled schoolboy q a lot of people like scuba q sucks dude like who would name that self after school boy q

10:20

you trash like he's washed up who listens to school i once heard a story about lil yachty and 21 savage playing nba 2k for twelve thousand dollars a game have you dabbled in the world of high stakes gaming ah that's silly i mean you're doing all that old silly ass [ __ ] i don't know what type of money your

10:40

[ __ ] getting but i ain't getting no i'm just betting 12 000 every time i play the game like nah especially if i'm doing it i ain't damn sure you're doing that [ __ ] with instagram right what the [ __ ] like have you picked a side in the great fortnight versus apex legends debate picks yeah

11:00

fortnight was dope when it first came out i was [ __ ] with it i was going in but then they started making it weak kid friendly you know what i mean like once a game gets so big they have no choice but to cater to the weaker inside of it because not too many people are good you know it's a small

11:16

percentage of people that are good versus people that are just playing so as of right now apex is [ __ ] on um fortnite but apex is growing just rapidly crazy crazy it's gonna be just as big as fortnite and they're gonna have to cater to a bunch of weak ass little ass punk-ass kids

11:34

and and i'm gonna be right back a cold faithful call of duty it's gonna be the same it's always there for you always there all faithful so you've said that you're not into nerdy spaceship rap or pokemon bars a purist who thinks that your lyrics should reflect your life and then of

11:57

course a challenge of that is eventually as a rapper you'll become a dad who plays golf and then shops at whole foods do you ever think about that like are you interested in how emcees like jay-z or nas have had to find ways to rap about post-success life in a compelling way yeah i did pokemon [ __ ] dog

12:14

can't stand that old rapping ass [ __ ] dog rapping super fast or just like i'ma always give you everything bow bow bow i'm gonna have i might have something for my white folks i'm gonna have something for my ghetto [ __ ] i might have something for my radio people i might have something for everybody bro

12:31

cause as an artist i think that's what you're supposed to do you're not supposed to just cater to one fan base you know i'm like i'll be a fool to just sit there and make a bunch of songs like blessed or john muir you know so i love the balance of music and others so i really don't care about all that other

12:49

[ __ ] and then another way that you're unique is that you don't just flood the music marketplace with songs you seem to come out with these fully crafted albums do you have an idea of the schoolboy queue story like is that already plotted out or is every album every project like

13:04

a fresh start um i had a whole thing mapped out it worked out good up until the second helmet so the first two albums were planned out i'm gonna do this my name is i'm gonna add this it's gonna beat it after that it was just like life hit you different things happen your mood changes my whole thing now

13:25

with music is making sure this album don't sound like that album that's why i always do like two albums before i actually finalize the album and they're always pretty trash you know what i mean i think it's the one i get on twitter or something oh i'm coming soon you're right

13:42

that was the first album to go back over to oh i'll cover soon that was the second album then i'll finally figure it out in the [ __ ] three two years later now i ain't gonna lie this one looked a little a little sheisty yeah i ain't going right to you [Music] [Music] so you've been pretty open about some of

14:30

the struggles in your life that affected your ability to be a good father but now it's such an amazing thing to see the relationship that you have with your daughter joy you guys on the red carpet together at the grammys and the matching girl power hoodies but i did see an

14:42

amazing video on your snapchat where she called you rapping trash and she called tde trash [Music] like i feel like if you're dealing with that kind of savagery from your own kin you can handle anything yeah i think i get it from a mama you know her friends come over you just heard nothing but laughing all day

15:03

they just popping [ __ ] and since the kid my mom used to pop [ __ ] at me that's why i ain't with my daughter too like i talk [ __ ] to her all day and she talks [ __ ] to me all day and i wouldn't want it no other way you know what i mean right don't ever tell me i look nice walking out the house you know what

15:20

i mean never she's like oh you look horrible you look stupid all that tight-ass shirt like my daughter daughter you know like i need all that love i need that love oh i still got to talk yeah okay write this [ __ ] down but i'll do some lifting for you so i know that you've chilled on the

16:18

bucket hat since it's gone mainstream but it's impossible to deny your influence in the style trend your roots in it what makes the bucket hat a good go-to for huskier boys you've got a fat ass face first though let's just let that record reflect so you put on a regular cap [Music]

16:50

put on a regular cap yo fat ass face gonna look fatter with that little ass cap on so i'm gonna play a little game called who wore it better and pull out some iconic bucket hat moments in pop culture history and you just tell me who rocks it better okay all right who rocked it better on the golf course

17:17

bill murray or kevin james me bill murray who rocked it better on the red carpet we have justin timberlake and then buckethead who's literally justin timberlake and then finally who worked better on stage schoolboy qr billy eilish beyond is doing way too much me whoa is this the spice you've been looking

17:48

for mhm [ __ ] buzz might got the game [ __ ] up i respect you thank you it means a lot to me i respect you [Music] so are these the same ones yg was eating yeah slightly different on the sauces but all right you i respect you too fool yeah we'll take a real little bite yeah and you sit here you in it

19:03

come on ice cream coming in ice cream coming in type of weirdo are you growing up dog [Music] type of [ __ ] so here at first we feast we're obsessed with what our guests eat so now seems like as good a time as any to shout out your favorite restaurant the shabu-shabu house between sam

19:28

central in downtown los angeles man you're the greatest of all time don't you ever come to this [ __ ] do rappers have their own secret network of restaurant reservations like if you land in new york you hit up action to see what you should some cool ass eyes and then some rappers like wale and

19:58

vince staples they've started gulp accounts where they're actually review restaurants would that be something that would ever interest you they invented two weirdo ass [ __ ] they came here too they both came here yeah [ __ ] weirdos [Music] all right school boy this is the last

20:23

dab we call it the last dab because it's tradition around here to put a little extra on the last wing you don't have to if you don't want to you crazy you don't have to if you don't want to i'm not meh i know have any of y'all tried this [ __ ] it's an initiation for the crew you know [Music] that's too hot

21:15

that's good that's good god damn yeah i'm not i'm not like putting extras on this [ __ ] or nothing that [ __ ] is hot yeah yeah [ __ ] that [ __ ] the bomb i don't give a [ __ ] if y'all invested in it or what [ __ ] that [ __ ] that [ __ ] [ __ ] up we are not we are not and that's

21:48

a great segue for what's going down in wing ten okay [Music] i like how you just stare at me to see what's about to happen all right schoolboy q here we are at the top of spice mountain a hallowed ground where only a few people have ever stood before and now that you have these wings these hot sauces running through you
