Cash Cobain shares his favorite trends in hip-hop history, who he would switch bodies with for a day and more!
Kyle Denis:
First question for you. I need you to rank every New York City borough by how slizzy each person in the borough can get.
Cash Cobain:
Okay. Bronx is No. 1, Queens is No. 2, Brooklyn No. 3, Manhattan No. 4, Staten Island No. 5.
Brooklyn as No. 3 is kind of crazy, just being from Brooklyn. I thought it would be higher than that, but okay.
I’m from the Bronx, but I moved to Queens. So you know, by default, I know even though Bronx and Brooklyn got like some type of beef going on, Brooklyn always show love to Cash Cobain. I love Brooklyn.
All right, if you had to live in any hip-hop music video from the past, which one would it be?
Living it? Yeah, uh, hey, oh, “Hip Hop Hooray,” oh! That’s Brooklyn right there.
If you could erase one trend from hip-hop forever, what would you want?
One what?
One trend.
I wouldn’t erase nothing. Everything happens for a reason. We here now because of… You know what I’m saying, though? I wouldn’t erase nothing.
On the flip side, what’s your favorite trend in hip-hop history?
It’s just one era. N—as was rapping fast. A’ight so you know the song to what? To who? A little something like that? Um, what else. J. Cole got a song like that with that flow. It’s called “Rich N***az” with that flow.
What’s the craziest thing a fan has ever done to get your attention?

Tyga shares that he has a new album and tour on the way, reminisces about the start of his career with “Coconut Juice” and “Bedrock,” and more!
Catrise Johnson:
You have 16 years of a song.
Tyga:
16 years?
Of a song. “Coconut Juice.”
Where the f— did y’all get that. Get the f— out of here.
That’s how the game is, that’s an amazing song. Let’s not play. Let’s not play. That was an amazing song.
Sure. I mean, sh–, it’s platinum, but you know.
Sixteen years of “Coconut Juice,” that kind of was your start. And you now have, I know, but now you have such longevity.
Actually, my start was “Young On Probation.” That was the first mixtape that I ever did, and I was 15. That was my start, which got me signed. And then it was that record, and then from after that, I signed to Young Money after that, and then “Bedrock.” For me, I feel like “Bedrock” was my reintroduction. That was my first introduction, and then “Bedrock” was like my reintroduction. You know what I mean?
100%, I agree with that. All right, what’s next for you?
Um, sh–, new album, new album. I’m mixing it right now. So, album, tour.
Can you tease anything on the album?
Sh–, I don’t know. We just got to see, you know? Working on a few features.

If you could live in any music video, what would you pick?

But I’m just gonna say, like, “FRONT END” bro, I like that video, it’s like a vibe, some little cute outfit. So, yeah, f— it.
If your life was a movie, what would the title be?
It is a movie, let me tell you. It would be probably called ‘Not the Two’ … and it would be directed by me, and it would be starring Zendaya. F— it.
What’s one rumor about you that you wish was actually true?
I don’t know. I don’t like the rumors about me. I don’t think none of them, I don’t want any of them to be true, and they’re not. So I guess I won.
Are you trying to clarify anything right now? Let the people know.
Sh–, f— it. Who don’t write they music, because I write my music and I have all my chains still, and what else? I don’t own 900k, and what else? I don’t even care. F— it. That’s all the sh–. F— it.
